Hearing these people's words, Ji Yun felt somewhat helpless. Was this a trumped-up charge? Or was it a precaution?
He glanced at Yuexi: "Call Xiao Huo over."
"Okay!" Yuexi called out to Huofeng.
At this moment, Chen Shu, Bai Xiao, the Seventh Elder, Guo Feng, and others also arrived at the sect gate.
Seeing so many Nascent Soul cultivators outside, their expressions turned solemn.
Bai Xiao slowly said, "Now that the righteous and the demonic are in the midst of a great war, there are always some people who want to cause trouble. They will first label you as a demon, then call on the heroes to attack you, and finally divide up the spoils."
"They're blatantly trying to steal it, so why bring up protecting those from the demonic path? They're just putting themselves on a moral high ground and then making accusations," Ye Wudao sneered.
Ji Yun shouted outside, "So what do you want?"
"Hand them over. Our disciples were already seriously injured. If we could capture those demonic people, we would have received compensation. But now that you've protected them, we've lost everything. Your Lingyun Sect should bear all the losses."
"Yes, hand over the person and apologize."
"Hand it over and apologize."
"......"
The deafening sound was deafening, and everyone was shouting loudly, creating a huge commotion.
The Lingyun Sect members were furious. This was like forcibly labelling them as part of the demonic path and then making them pay money to settle the matter.
"Well, so this is what they call a righteous person." Ye Wudao's face was full of anger.
Soon, Fire Phoenix arrived behind Ji Yun and the others.
The people outside were ecstatic when they saw the fire phoenix.
One of the disciples who was present at the time pointed at the fire phoenix and exclaimed, "Master, it was that fire phoenix! I was almost burned to death by that fire phoenix!"
One of the Nascent Soul cultivators was tempted and shouted, "Make them hand over that fire phoenix!"
At this moment, the cultivator at the front said, "You all heard it. Just hand over the fire phoenix and compensate our disciple for his losses, and we will not pursue this matter any further."
When their disciples returned, they reported to their masters and learned that it was the Lingyun Sect. They then began to plot, taking advantage of the current great battle to bring all their friends along, and people from several sects came directly.
Anyway, Lingyun Sect isn't a major sect. If you don't want to cause trouble, you should just obediently apologize.
Ji Yun looked at Yue Xi and asked, "Can we fight them if we activate the third layer of the sword formation?"
"With the sect leader and several elders helping, it's definitely possible."
Hearing Yuexi's words, Ji Yun felt relieved: "There's still Xiao Huo. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll fight."
Ye Wudao echoed, "This is outrageous! There's no need to talk to them; just go out and fight them."
Bai Xiao, Guo Feng, Chen Shu, and the Seventh Elder: "..."
When did our sect leader become so irritable?
Ji Yun called out to the other party, "Is there any room for discussion now?"
The other side shouted, "Talk my ass! Hand over that fire phoenix and those demonic cultivators right now!"
Ji Yun patted Fire Phoenix and said, "Little Fire, you saw it too, we don't want to hand you over, so you'd better give them a good beating later."
Yuexi mounted the fire phoenix and flew away in a cloud of dust.
Those outside were overjoyed, not expecting them to actually come out. They had thought it would take a lot of effort to attack the formation to force them out.
Everyone immediately took action, unleashing various spells at the fire phoenix.
The fire phoenix kept dodging and slammed a huge fireball down.
Yuexi activated the third layer of the sword formation, and a bloodthirsty aura enveloped everyone inside.
"As expected of someone from the demonic path, these methods are truly remarkable."
"Kill that woman and Fire Phoenix!"
Then, strands of silk surrounded everyone.
Several elders also made their move directly from their formations.
Countless threads chased after them, and they had to constantly dodge attacks, creating chaos in the process.
Yuexi controlled the sword formation, and enemies fell one after another. The fire phoenix spewed out raging flames, burning the enemies and causing them to flee in all directions.
"A bunch of greedy bastards, today I'll give you a big one!" Ye Wudao roared, casting a series of hand seals, and sharp sword energies whistled out.
Many Golden Core cultivators were killed or wounded instantly, while some Nascent Soul cultivators were able to hold out for a while.
The situation on the battlefield instantly reversed, with Lingyun Sect's momentum soaring while the enemy suffered a series of defeats.
"Kill that woman first!" someone shouted.
Immediately, several Nascent Soul cultivators were about to join forces to kill Yue Xi.
"Kill me? Not so easy!"
Countless threads were wrapped around some Golden Core cultivators, and then burned to ashes by a single fireball from the fire phoenix.
Gradually, countless threads began to merge, transforming into enormous flying swords that hurtled towards the Nascent Soul cultivators.
The sound of magic weapons colliding with flying swords rang out, and several Nascent Soul cultivators dodged the flying sword attacks.
Gradually, several sword marks appeared on their bodies; there were simply too many flying swords.
"Oh no, these flying swords are absorbing blood energy, be careful."
Yuexi activated the sword formation with all her might, and more flying swords appeared, enveloping the entire battlefield in red sword light.
A Nascent Soul cultivator had his body pierced through, his defenses shattered, and his blood and energy absorbed instantly, leaving him a withered corpse.
Seeing this, the disciples of Lingyun Sect were greatly encouraged and unleashed their unique skills, engaging in fierce battle with the enemy.
Under the leadership of Yuexi and several elders, Lingyun Sect gradually gained the upper hand. Meanwhile, the disciples from other sects who had come to cause trouble were thrown into panic.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators have already died; if the fight continues, they'll probably all perish here.
"Retreat! Retreat now!" someone shouted, and the remaining people began to turn and run away.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Ye Wudao snorted coldly, his figure flashing as he blocked their path.
After a fierce battle, the area in front of the Lingyun Sect was a complete mess.
On the Lingyun Sect's side, although there were some injured, they were generally fine.
Of the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators, only three or four escaped; the rest all perished here.
Yuexi's face was deathly pale. Her spiritual energy had been greatly depleted. Although she didn't need to consume her own blood energy, controlling the Calamity Sword was extremely taxing.
"Those few people got away, and we were too exhausted."
Ji Yun comforted him, "It's alright. Sect Master Ye and the elders went after them. You did a great job. Take some pills to recover your spiritual power first."
After taking the pill, Yuexi sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing. Not long after, Ye Wudao and several elders returned to the sect.
“Those old guys ran fast, but this time they were severely weakened, and they probably won’t dare to cause trouble again for a while,” Ye Wudao said.
Ji Yun frowned: "It's not that simple. After they escaped, they will definitely spread rumors everywhere and exaggerate the situation, trying to drag more sects into dealing with us."
"What should we do then?" Ye Wudao exclaimed in alarm.
"Issue a notice saying that these people are causing trouble during the war between good and evil."
Hearing Ji Yun's words, Ye Wudao thought they made sense: "Alright, we'll arrange for a few disciples to send out the sect's announcement later. If they don't believe it, we'll leave it at that. We'll just have Lord Qingluan come out too, and we won't care about anything else then."
