Chapter 167
The Xuanming Sect Master felt a chill run down his spine. The appearance of a demonic cave and monsters at the foot of Tianyang Peak was something their sect leader's lineage couldn't explain, and this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully.
They might end up disgraced and have no place in the cultivation world anymore.
Sect Master Xuanming stared intently at the monster, wishing it could perish together with the Supreme Elder.
What's infuriating is that Ling Xiao is too powerful; even this terrifying demon can be dealt with with ease.
If the Supreme Elder cannot be seriously injured or have his spiritual power depleted, and a sneak attack is launched against a peak Tribulation Transcending Immortal Venerable, it is still unknown who will die!
Besides, if the Supreme Elder is dead now, who can stop that monster?
Aren't they all going to be buried with them?
Sect Master Xuanming had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the peak masters and elders to set up an array to seal the monster.
However, as the spirit array activated and the demonic energy was suppressed, the monster seemed to know that it was about to be imprisoned again. It screamed shrilly, and its eyes and mouth opened wide, spewing demonic energy and blood, which was extremely terrifying.
"Oh no, it's going to self-destruct!"
Sect Master Xuanming: "..."
The prophecy of mutual destruction has come true, but they will definitely be the first to die! Help!
"Grandmaster Uncle, what should we do?"
The Supreme Elder's Sun-Devouring Sword still hovered above the monster's head, suppressing it. Hearing the panicked cries of the Xuanming Sect Master and the others, he frowned deeply.
If we abandon the seal now and let this monster escape, it will be a catastrophe for cultivators outside of the Qingxiao Sect, and who knows how many innocent people will die?
Sect Master Xuanming wanted to roar: "The deaths of cultivators from other sects in the cultivation world are none of their business!"
"Every man for himself, or he'll be damned by heaven and earth." He didn't want to die!
Of course, he dared not shout, otherwise, the Supreme Elder would definitely have cleaved him in two with a single sword strike.
Pshaw, you hypocritical, pretentious old bastard!
However, no matter how viciously the Xuanming Sect Master cursed in his heart, he could only cry and beg the Supreme Elder to save his life.
The Supreme Elder's gaze swept over the innocent disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, his expression grave. He was about to sacrifice himself to pull the monster into the spatial tunnel...
A chilling sword aura, like a snowy moon, swept in, directly sealing the monster's demonic body as it prepared to self-destruct.
The monster was enraged, its countless scarlet, eerie eyes glaring at the minions who dared to freeze it... Ancestor!
"Waaaaah..."
The monster's cries suddenly became a thousand times more mournful!
The demon race has a strict hierarchy, and high-ranking demons with pure bloodlines always have a bloodline advantage over low-ranking demons.
What about a demon seed that is the reincarnation of a demon god?
It's not just a matter of level suppression against that cobbled-together monster that doesn't even qualify as a demon; it doesn't even have the right to call it an ancestor!
Aside from the demons, even the Supreme Elder couldn't see that Baili Han's eyes had turned purple.
The monster felt the world spinning around it, screamed in agony, closed all its eyes and mouth, and had its demonic energy instantly drained. It fell from mid-air into the demon's lair, completely at the mercy of its prey.
Although the Supreme Elder was extremely surprised, now was not the time to investigate what had happened to the monster. They seized the opportunity and joined forces to seal the monster deep within the demon cave.
Suddenly, a mountain peak rose up from the ground and pressed down on the demon cave.
Having reached the Tribulation Transcending stage of cultivation, moving mountains and filling seas is nothing more than a wave of the hand. The Supreme Elder set up the Four Symbols Sealing Array, sealing the demonic energy back into the Demon Cave.
Someone boldly asked the Supreme Elder, "Ancestor, why not just kill that demon directly?"
The Supreme Elder looked at him, not taking offense at the other's rudeness, or directly retorting with "If you're so good, then you do it."
He explained, "That demon is neither human nor demon; it has transcended the cycle of reincarnation, and the power of the cultivation world is insufficient to kill it."
"What?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically. If they couldn't kill it, did that mean the monster would remain buried under the sect's gate forever?
The Qingxiao Sect was filled with unease at the thought of its ferocity and terror.
It's alright if the Supreme Elder is here, but the Supreme Elder is already at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, and no one knows when he will ascend.
And since they couldn't possibly ascend before the Supreme Elder, wouldn't they have to live in constant fear that the monster would break the seal and wreak havoc on the sect again?
"Ancestor, is there no other way?"
The Supreme Elder sighed, "Yes, only a reincarnated demon god has the ability to completely destroy it."
Everyone: "..."
This method is worse than not using it at all!
Once the demon god is reincarnated, this monster will be a minor problem!
"Immortal Venerable".
A certain reincarnated demon god stood nonchalantly before all the righteous sects of the Qingxiao Sect, his expression aloof and unhurried.
Oh, he even infiltrated the inner circle of the righteous leader, Immortal Venerable Lingxiao.
Is it scary or not?
Unfortunately, nobody knows!
Upon seeing Baili Han, the Supreme Elder's expression softened considerably. "Why have you come?"
Baili Han said, "My junior mistress is worried about the Immortal Venerable, so I came to check on him."
The Supreme Elder was both touched and terrified. "Nonsense!"
The situation was so perilous just now; even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't withstand a single attack from the demon. Wasn't he, a Golden Core cultivator, just here to be delivered to the enemy?
Baili Han treated the Supreme Elder very well, saying, "It was this disciple who was reckless."
How could the Supreme Elder bear to blame this sincere and kind-hearted young man?
Besides, "You did a great job just now."
If the boy hadn't briefly frozen the monster, the consequences would have been severe, whether it had self-destructed or he had been backfired after opening the spatial tunnel.
Thinking of the boy's amazing sword strike, the Supreme Elder's eyes were filled with admiration and affection.
However, Sect Master Xuanming and Duan Tianyi were in a completely unpleasant mood.
Neither of them believed that Baili Han, a Golden Core cultivator, possessed the ability to freeze demons; it was all thanks to the Immortal Sword.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy should belong to them!
Duan Tianyi glared at Baili Han, his eyes brimming with resentment.
If he had a magic sword, how could he be in such a sorry state?
He should be the one standing in the sky now, receiving the spotlight and making a name for himself!
With his powerful divine sense, how could the Supreme Elder not notice Duan Tianyi's resentful gaze?
He could even clearly see how ruthless Duan Tianyi had been in pushing his own apprentice out to shield him from the monster.
The smile on the Supreme Elder's face faded. The bright and talented young man he once admired had long since become a greedy, vicious, foolish, and hopeless scoundrel!
He said gently to Baili Han, "Go back to Peach Blossom Peak first, don't make Xiao Axin worry."
Baili Han didn't even glance at Duan Tianyi before turning around and flying away on his sword.
The Supreme Elder's sharp gaze swept over Duan Tianyi.
Then came the familiar scene: Duan Tianyi knelt down with a thud, without even a second's hesitation. The useless Supreme Elder was completely stunned.
If it weren't for Xiao Axin, he would have definitely crippled Duan Tianyi.
However, this is not the time to teach Duan Tianyi a lesson...
The Xuanming Sect Master was much smarter than his foolish disciple. Under the cold pressure of the Supreme Elder, his face was full of confusion and fear.
"Grandmaster Uncle, the appearance of a demon in the Qingxiao Sect is due to my dereliction of duty. But I truly have no idea how that demon ended up at the foot of Tianyang Peak!"
