In a small village south of Qingyun Sect, a strong smell of blood hits the face upon entering. The once peaceful and tranquil village now feels like a purgatory. Most of the houses have collapsed into ruins, and wisps of black smoke rise from the broken walls, as if telling of the disaster that has befallen them.
The ground was littered with the bodies of villagers, men, women, and children alike. Blood stained the earth, forming dark pools. Some bodies were mutilated, evidently having been brutally slaughtered. The village's livestock had also fallen to the ground, and a deathly silence enveloped the entire village.
The ancient willow tree in the center of the village, once a place for villagers to rest and chat, is now pierced with weapons and its base is piled with corpses. Some villagers are tied to the tree, their eyes wide open, faces etched with terror and despair, their eyes etched with fear until their death. When the wind blows, only the whistling sound can be heard, no longer the laughter of children or the crowing of chickens or the barking of dogs.
At this moment, a young man held a long sword, spiritual energy surging from the sword. He shouted angrily, "The Heavenly Demon Sect has committed many evil deeds. I will not let you go today!" Then he led the others behind him and rushed towards the Heavenly Demon Sect members.
The people from the Tianmo Sect burst into laughter, and the leader taunted, "You Qingyun Sect brats, you think you can stop us?" However, the young man showed no fear. His swordsmanship was like the wind, instantly stabbing at the other men. The other Qingyun Sect disciples also cast spells, and for a moment, light flashed.
However, the Tianmo Sect's ruthless tactics led them to secretly release a poisonous mist, slowing the movements of many Qingyun Sect disciples after inhaling it. At this critical moment, a young woman from the Qingyun Sect produced a strangely fragrant elixir, known as the Qingling Detoxification Pill. She crushed the pill and, with a blast of spiritual energy, released the powder, dispelling the poison from her fellow disciples.
Jiang Feng had seen this person before. It was Xiao Yanyu, the disciple of Xiao Qingling from the Qingyun Sect. And the young man was her junior brother Xiang Chuhe.
The morale of the disciples of Qingyun Sect was greatly boosted after they regained their spirits. Xiang Chuhe even used his ultimate move, Qingyun Demon-Breaking Sword. A huge sword energy whizzed towards the people of Tianmo Sect. The people of Tianmo Sect were terrified and began to retreat.
Suddenly, two figures descended from the Tianmo Sect. Their powerful aura instantly choked everyone in the Qingyun Sect. The two figures were shrouded in demonic energy, their eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.
"Hmph, the tiny Qingyun Sect really thinks it can defeat my Tianmo Sect." One of them snorted coldly.
With that, the two men attacked simultaneously, their magic energies energizing and distorting the surrounding space. Xiang Chuhe gritted his teeth and raised his sword once again to meet the attack. Xiao Yanyu, unwilling to be outdone, summoned various magical weapons. However, these two were too powerful, and after a few moves, the Qingyun Sect was once again at a disadvantage.
At this time, only Xiao Yanyu, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, could hold out for a while in the Qingyun Sect. The others could no longer hold on.
Just as the army was about to be annihilated, auspicious light suddenly descended from the sky. A majestic voice rang out, "Don't be so arrogant."
Four figures fell down at the same time, they were Jiang Feng and his three companions.
Everyone in the Demonic Sect was shocked when they saw Jiang Feng and his companions. One was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, two were in the Great Perfection, and one was completely unfathomable! These four people were not someone they could mess with.
A man from the Demon Sect spoke up, "The Heavenly Demon Sect is operating here, and I hope you fellow Taoists will give us some leeway. I wonder who you are?"
Jiang Feng replied calmly: "I am your grandfather."
Just as he finished speaking, a voice from the Demonic Sect rang out: "He is Jiang Feng. I have seen his portrait in the sect. He is the person the old clan wants."
Jiang Feng ignored them and glanced at the three people behind him: "Kill them all, leaving one alive for questioning."
After saying that, three figures disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the people of Tianmo Sect. These three people were like wolves among a flock of sheep, constantly harvesting them. Seeing this, everyone in Qingyun Sect was scalp numb!
Half an hour later, Bai Ling picked up a middle-aged man and threw him at Jiang Feng's feet: "Now the young master has something to ask you, answer truthfully."
The man was so frightened that he was shaking all over and nodding desperately.
Jiang Feng said, "Why are you massacring civilians? Are there any members of your Heavenly Demon Sect around here? And what about the portrait you said you saw of me?"
The man replied, "Sir, we have three teams this time, each led by a Yuanying Great Perfection master. We slaughtered these civilians to collect the wronged souls. This is an order from the sect leader, and it should be to help the ancestor recover his cultivation."
As he said that, he took out a strange green umbrella.
The man continued, "About ten years ago, the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly returned from nowhere. Not long after, he issued two ironclad orders. The first was to gather the souls of the deceased. The second was to find the person in the portrait, and they had to be alive."
Jiang Feng thought for a moment. He didn't understand why this old demon had to capture him. Could it be that he was attracted to his body?
Jiang Feng asked again: "Where are the other two teams?"
The man said, "I'm not sure exactly, but it should be due south. Sir, I've told you everything I know. Please spare my life!"
Jiang Feng looked at the strange umbrella in his hand: "Kill!!!"
Bai Ling raised her hand and slapped the man's head, causing it to explode instantly. The Nascent Soul was also pulled into space at the moment of its escape.
Watching the scene unfold before her, Xiao Yanyu walked over and bowed to Jiang Feng and the others: "Thank you for rescuing me, Senior. We are disciples of the Qingyun Sect."
Jiang Feng didn't rush to explain his identity: "I'm acquainted with Senior Xiao Qingling from your sect, so you're welcome. We can't stay here for long, so please return to the sect as soon as possible."
After thanking Jiang Feng and the other three, they left.
Bai Ling asked, "Sir, should we pursue the other two teams from the Heavenly Demon Sect? The further south we go, the closer we are to the Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters. If we attract experts, it will be difficult for us to deal with them."
Jiang Feng naturally understood that his current strength was still too weak. However, he still planned to collect some interest. He received the three people into the space, activated his stealth, and flew south!
