"There was definitely something wrong!"
Little Fire jumped off Ye Lingtian's shoulder, circled the cultivator, and sniffed.
"Master, this guy smells of evil spirits; he's probably being controlled!"
The cultivator's expression changed drastically, and he immediately fell to the ground.
"Senior, you've been wronged! I truly didn't collude with the enemy, I swear to God..."
"oath?"
Ye Lingtian sneered.
"Without your tip-off, the demons wouldn't have been able to accurately target the weak points of the protective formation!"
The monk trembled like a leaf, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Senior, I really didn't... I just..."
"Enough!"
Ye Lingtian waved his hand, and the seven-colored longsword floated in front of him.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Will you confess voluntarily, or will I let you search your mind sea?"
The moment those words were uttered, the cultivator instantly collapsed, screaming and falling to his knees.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! It's the evil spirits threatening my family. If I don't cooperate, they'll kill my wife and children! I... I really have no other choice!"
"What a piece of trash!"
Xiao Huo snorted coldly.
"You disregard the lives of so many people for the sake of your own family? Do you even deserve to be a cultivator?"
Ye Lingtian's gaze turned cold, and then he raised his hand and pointed at the cultivator's forehead.
A flash of light, and his sea of consciousness was instantly exposed to Ye Lingtian's control.
After a moment, Ye Lingtian withdrew his hand and said calmly.
"The evil spirits have indeed taken control of your family, but you have betrayed everyone."
This debt can never be cleared up!
The cultivator collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.
"Senior, I was wrong... I really know I was wrong! Please spare my life, please spare my life!"
You have to bear the consequences of the path you chose!
Ye Lingtian turned to look at Ye Sitian.
"Get rid of it!"
Ye Sitian nodded without hesitation and struck down with his palm, instantly killing the cultivator.
"Remember, we will never surrender, no matter how powerful the enemy we face!"
Ye Lingtian spoke coldly, glancing at the remaining cultivators.
"And whoever dares to harbor ill intentions will suffer the same fate!"
"I will remember the Heavenly Emperor's teachings!"
All the cultivators knelt down instantly.
Little Fire jumped back onto Ye Lingtian's shoulder, wagging its tail as it spoke.
"Master, what's next? These people are useless, but we can't just let the demons run rampant forever, can we?"
"Stabilize the alliance's defenses first!"
Ye Lingtian looked at Ye Sitian.
"Order people to rearrange the protective array, doubling its range."
The evil forces will not stop here; you must prepare for the future!
Ye Sitian nodded.
"Father, rest assured, I will personally oversee the reconstruction of the great formation!"
"in addition!"
Ye Lingtian paused.
"Notify all members of the Immortal Alliance that from now on, no one may leave their post without permission."
Find a way to identify potential moles within the organization, and deal with any unusual activity immediately!
"Yes, Father!"
Ye Sitian responded respectfully.
"Master, what about us? Where do we go next?"
Little Fire tilted his head and asked.
"Go to the edge of the Three Realms!"
Ye Lingtian raised his head.
"The source of the demonic invasion should be in the nearby chaotic rift!"
With that, he waved his hand, tearing open a spatial rift and disappearing from everyone's sight with Xiao Huo.
On the other side of the crack, black mist filled the air.
Ye Lingtian stood in the void, quietly sensing the aura around him.
"Master, this place is truly gloomy!"
Xiao Huo said in a low voice.
Do you think the lair of those evil spirits might be here?
"Very likely!"
Ye Lingtian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"However, there seems to be something else active here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures suddenly darted out from the fog in the distance.
"It's those guys again!"
Xiao Huo pouted.
"Master, should I burn a wave first?"
"No rush!"
Ye Lingtian's lips curled up slightly.
"Let them come and die!"
The figures gradually became clearer in the black mist, and one by one, extraterrestrial demons appeared, numbering in the hundreds.
The leading demon was three zhang tall, half-human and half-beast, and his weapon was an enormous black scythe, which was extremely terrifying.
"Nine Heavens Emperor, I have long admired your name!"
The voice of evil spirits echoed all around.
"I've heard you enjoy sabotaging our plans. Today I'll see just how capable you really are!"
Ye Lingtian glanced at him indifferently without replying.
Little Fire immediately jumped forward, raised its head, and shouted loudly.
"What nonsense about 'I've long admired your name'? You dare to presume? With your looks, you dare to speak to the master? You're asking for trouble!"
The demon's eyes narrowed slightly as it stared at Little Fire and sneered.
"How dare a mere cub spout such nonsense? I'll chop you up and stew you into a pot of evil soup!"
"Why don't you give it a try!"
Little Fire was not to be outdone, and a ball of heavenly fire shot out of its mouth.
"I'm afraid you idiot won't even have a chance to be scratched by me!"
"court death!"
The demon roared and charged straight at them.
Little Fire neither dodged nor avoided; with a swift movement, the Heavenly Fire Domain instantly unfolded, and the blazing flames completely engulfed the black arc of light.
He sneered.
"That's it? It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap!"
Enraged, the demon lunged at Little Fire, and the other demons swarmed forward, preparing to attack.
Ye Lingtian stood still, not even lifting his eyelids, and simply said...
