The White Bone Demon-Sealing Sword struck the ribbon-like magic weapon in mid-air, blocking it, and then, taking advantage of the opportunity, he immediately transformed into light and disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, the White Bone Demon-Sealing Sword turned back and transformed into a streak of white light, following its master away.
Meanwhile, the Peach Mountain Ancestor and his group had caught up and exchanged a glance with the Xuanzhen Sect Leader standing on the back of the white crane.
Without even saying hello to the Xuanzhen Sect Leader, they tacitly chased after the White Bone Demon.
In the darkness of night, with a bright moon and few stars, the White Bone Demon flew forward for another five or six thousand miles until a majestic immortal mountain appeared ahead.
At this moment, a female fairy was standing on the mountaintop, surrounded by a wisp of light smoke and mist.
Her clothes fluttered in the breeze, and her figure was graceful, as if she were a fairy descended from heaven.
Seeing the White Bone Demon flying towards her, the female immortal raised her hand and pointed, causing the stars in the sky to shine brightly. In the next instant, countless starlight gathered together and transformed into arrows that shot towards the White Bone Demon.
These arrows carried boundless power and strength, as if they were about to pierce through all obstacles and completely annihilate the White Bone Demon.
Upon seeing this, the White Bone Demon was startled and immediately stopped to use his supernatural powers to defend himself.
He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and a powerful magical force surged from his body, forming a thick shield.
However, the starlight arrows seemed to pass through his defenses effortlessly, shooting straight at his body.
The White Bone Demon was shocked. He hadn't expected the female immortal to be so powerful that even he couldn't withstand her attacks.
He quickly summoned the White Bone Demon-Sealing Sword, attempting to cut the starlight arrows one by one.
However, the arrows were numerous and extremely fast, and he simply did not have time to cut them all.
Just then, one of the arrows struck the White Bone Demon's shoulder, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
The White Bone Demon let out a miserable cry, his body unsteady, and he almost fell from the sky.
He endured the excruciating pain and continued to use the White Bone Demon-Sealing Sword Technique, trying to escape the female immortal's attack.
However, the fairy did not give him a chance to catch his breath.
She raised her hand again and pointed, sending even more starlight arrows hurtling towards the Bone Demon.
The White Bone Demon inwardly groaned, knowing full well that he was doomed. Helpless, he had no choice but to once again activate the White Bone Demon-Sealing Sword, attempting to shred the dense array of starlight arrows into dust.
However, due to this brief delay, he missed his chance to escape.
After extinguishing all the arrows, he lowered his gaze and stared fiercely at the female immortal, his eyes burning with endless anger and resentment.
Upon seeing this, the female immortal leaped forward, blocking the path of the White Bone Demon.
At the same time, the Xuanzhen Sect Leader and others also flew over quickly and immediately joined the female immortal to firmly surround the White Bone Demon in the middle.
At that moment, the Xuanzhen Sect Leader stared at the female immortal and instantly recognized her true identity.
It turns out that this woman is the Dao Master of the Starry Sky Dao, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, and is known as Fairy Qiongyao.
"So it's Master Qiong Yao, long time no see!" Master Xuanzhen bowed to the female immortal.
As soon as he called out Qiong Yao's name, Peach Mountain Ancestor and the others immediately realized her identity.
After all, although they had never met Qiong Yao in person, they had long heard of her illustrious reputation and were naturally familiar with her...
Seeing himself surrounded, with no way out and no way to escape, the White Bone Demon knew that even with three heads and six arms, he would not be able to withstand a joint attack.
His eyes darted around, and he immediately made a decision.
The next instant, without saying a word, he threw the swaddled baby in his arms into the air and shouted, "You all want this child, don't you? Then I'll give it back to you!"
When the Peach Mountain Ancestor and the others saw this, they were taken aback, as if they had not expected the White Bone Demon to be so decisive.
In a flash, they reacted almost simultaneously, but they no longer cared about causing trouble for the White Bone Demon. Instead, they unleashed their magical powers and swept towards the infant in the swaddling clothes in the sky.
Because they were afraid of hurting the baby, they used gentle methods when they acted.
Upon seeing this, the White Bone Demon immediately lunged into the White Bone Demon-Sealing Sword, becoming one with the sword and shooting westward.
At this moment, the one blocking his way was the Southern Frontier Ancestor. Seeing the White Bone Demon riding his sword, he dared not confront its sharp edge. He immediately swayed and dodged, letting the sword light sweep past him and disappear into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
It seems that the White Bone Demon has given up on the competition for the Chosen One.
But in reality, as soon as he escaped everyone's sight, he immediately broke free from the state of being one with the sword, used a trick to sneak back, and kept a close watch on the movements over there.
Hopefully, they can find a weakness and snatch the spoils from the jaws of the enemy.
High in the distance, the crowd scrambled for the first piece, but none of them succeeded.
The next moment, they used magic to protect the swaddling clothes from the fierce winds, and then they engaged in a chaotic battle.
However, they fought and struggled around the swaddling clothes, and for a while, neither of them could gain the upper hand.
In an instant, celestial light and demonic energy burst forth together, the rules of heaven and earth clashed continuously, and after the clash of supernatural powers and spells, countless rays of divine light splashed up, illuminating the entire night sky with dazzling splendor.
As they fought in a chaotic melee, the starlight and moonlight in the night sky were all jumbled up into a mess.
After some time, another figure flew in from a distance. Upon seeing the situation, he joined the scramble without saying a word.
The man who arrived was named Wei Yang, and he was the leader of the Tongtiandao Sect.
This Path to Heaven is also one of the Ten Great Immortal Paths.
A group of people fought for a long time, and whether it was intentional or unintentional, in the midst of a chaotic battle, the Southern Border Ancestor, the leader of the Southern Demonic Sect, was the first to be eliminated.
He was severely injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield to recover from his injuries by taking medicine.
At this moment, his heart was burning with rage.
Clearly, everyone was subtly targeting him. Although they didn't say it outright, how could he not sense it?
The second person to be eliminated was the Peach Mountain Patriarch, the leader of a side sect.
He was sent flying by the combined attack of the Xuanzhen Sect Leader and Fairy Qiongyao.
In the end, Peach Blossom Immortal, the Supreme Elder of Peach Immortal Path, also suffered considerable injuries and had to withdraw from the competition.
Now, only a few members of the immortal sect remain on the field.
The three—the Southern Frontier Ancestor, Peach Blossom Immortal, and the Southern Frontier Patriarch—each swallowed pills to suppress their injuries. They then exchanged a glance before rushing towards the swaddling clothes suspended high in the sky.
This time, however, their fighting was no longer as chaotic as before.
In that one glance, they formed an unspoken understanding and decided to work together.
Clearly, they learned their lesson and realized that they simply couldn't succeed without joining forces.
Just then, another beam of demonic light flew in from beyond the sky. This person was a demon lord from the demonic path, called the Black Lotus Demon Ancestor.
This is one of the oldest demons in this world. In terms of status in the demonic path, he is even above the two leaders of the demonic sect, the Southern Border Ancestor and the White Bone Demon.
He had barely appeared when he unleashed a massive, demonic hand of energy, reaching out to grab the swaddled baby in mid-air…
