Suddenly, two powerful pressures surged towards them from afar, like a raging storm, sweeping towards them with overwhelming force. This pressure seemed to possess the power to destroy heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, space rippled like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, as if it would be crushed to dust at any moment.
Zhang Daoling's heart suddenly tightened, his expression instantly becoming as solemn as steel. He whirled around, his gaze darting towards the newcomer like lightning. He instinctively shielded Zhang Qiming behind him, his muscles tense, his face a look of alert. Instantly, his spiritual energy surged like a surging river, churning furiously as he braced himself for this sudden change.
Murong Shuang and the Earth Brown Bear, who were about to fight to the death, heard the commotion and turned their gazes in that direction. They saw a middle-aged woman and an old man in white rushing towards them like a gust of wind. A crescent moon mark on their foreheads flickered, emitting a faint glow. Though seemingly gentle, this light held a mysterious and ancient aura, as if telling of the vicissitudes of time. The two quickly scanned the crowd, and when their eyes fell on Zhang Daoling, their expressions changed slightly, and they immediately bowed respectfully, saying in unison, "Greetings, Heavenly Master!"
Zhang Daoling's eyes were sharp as torches, and he recognized their identities instantly. His tone unconsciously tinged with displeasure as he asked, "What are you from the Yueling Sect doing here?"
These two were none other than Yue Shuang and Yue Yin, the core elders of the Moon Spirit Holy Land, now reduced to the Moon Spirit Sect. Back in the day, the Moon Spirit Holy Land, shrunken by the fall of a peak-level Great Venerable, gradually declined. Not long ago, their headmaster, Yue Chenzi, suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation in his headmaster's golden token. Immediately, applying his profound deduction techniques, he discovered the simultaneous appearance of the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword and the Moon Spirit Jade. This news, like a ray of light in the darkness, overjoyed Yue Chenzi. He immediately summoned Yue Shuang and Yue Yin, commanding them to search for them.
"Master, our ancestor unfortunately perished in this star region, leaving his legacy incomplete. This time, we're simply trying our luck," Yue Shuang and Yue Yin replied respectfully, bowing humbly. Their gazes scanned the crowd, finally settling on Murong Shuang, a flicker of uncontrollable surprise in their eyes.
Zhang Daoling followed their gaze, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "This is the witch of the Dark Abyss Demon League. How come your Yueling Sect has any dealings with the Dark Abyss Demon League?" As he spoke, his tone was full of strong accusations, as if he would immediately take action with thunder if the two of them made the slightest mistake.
Yue Shuang and Yue Yin didn't respond immediately, but instead simultaneously activated the crescent marks on their foreheads. Instantly, their crescent marks shone brightly, like miniature moons, flickering and emitting a strange, soft glow. Simultaneously, Murong Shuang's crescent mark also emerged, emitting a dazzling light. The light echoed with the marks on their foreheads, intertwining as if engaging in a mysterious conversation. This scene caused Yue Shuang and Yue Yin to tremble violently, their excitement nearly overwhelming them.
Afterwards, the two of them quickly came to Murong Shuang and bowed respectfully, saying, "Yueling Sect Elders Yueshuang and Yueyin, greet the Saint!"
Murong Shuang was filled with surprise at the actions of the two powerful Yueling Sect elders. She couldn't help but say in a bewildered manner, "Two seniors, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing this, Zhang Daoling said in a cold voice: "You, Yueling Sect, are so bold that you dare to respect this witch as a saint. Are you openly going to be an enemy of my Heavenly Court?" Before he finished speaking, the murderous intent around him spread like a materialized black mist, and the Bagua above his head lit up with a dazzling light. The runes seemed to be living things, constantly jumping in the light, emitting a heart-pounding and powerful sense of oppression.
Yue Yin and Yue Shuang immediately straightened their bodies and stood in front of Murong Shuang without hesitation. They said respectfully to Zhang Daoling, "Master, our Yueling Sect has never had any collusion with the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Qiming shouted loudly: "You clearly saluted this witch and said that you have not colluded with the Demon Alliance. Do you think that my ancestor is blind?"
Yue Yin glanced at Zhang Qiming with a hint of undisguised disdain in her eyes, then turned to Zhang Daoling and said, "Master, my Yueling Sect has an ancestral precept that whoever can find the Yueling Jade and gain its recognition will become the Saint of my Yueling Sect."
Yue Shuang also hurriedly continued, "I believe that the Heavenly Master has also seen that this girl has been recognized by our sect's treasure. I hope that the Heavenly Master will atone for his sins."
"She is a wanted criminal in my Heavenly Court. She must go back with me to Heaven to be punished!" Zhang Daoling took a step forward. The powerful pressure rushed towards them like a surging tide. Wherever it passed, the space seemed unable to withstand this force and was slightly distorted.
Faced with this terrifying pressure, the two elders immediately erected a defensive barrier, tightly shielding Murong Shuang and the Earth Brown Bear behind them. They simultaneously drew their swords. Their blades gleamed with a cold light, as if frozen from millennia of ice, as they braced themselves for the coming storm.
"It seems your Yueling Sect no longer has any reason to exist?" Zhang Daoling's aura grew stronger, like a volcano about to erupt, his overwhelming pressure shaking the air around him. The Bagua above his head began to spin rapidly, the runes flickering as if accumulating a terrifying force capable of annihilating the heavens and earth.
"Master, why are you so aggressive? You should know the significance of the Moon Spirit Jade to our Yue Ling Sect. Even if we both die today, you must ensure the safety of our Saint!" Yue Yin said sincerely and firmly, with a look of determination to face death, and there was no intention of retreating at all.
"Although you have some strength, you are far from qualified to ask me to protect you. Yue Chenzi is more suitable!" Zhang Daoling waved Zhang Qiming back and said coldly, "Get out now, and pretend that the Yueling Jade has not been found. I can still give you a chance to live. If you dare to stop me, you two will die today. When I return, I will make sure that your Yueling Sect will be destroyed!"
