In the blink of an eye, with the miraculous Qi-replenishing pills provided by Song Tingwan, a few of the Golden Core senior brothers and sisters stayed behind to take turns supporting the barrier, while the rest quickly flew over to fight against the demonic energy together with Song Siyao.
"A few mere Golden Core cultivators, and they can't even find where this demon is, hehe—"
The demonic energy took a deep breath near a disciple's neck and made a sound of enjoyment: "So delicious! I've been starving for decades, finally I can have a good meal—"
Having said that, it seemed to sense several powerful auras quickly locking onto it, but the demon was not afraid at all. It laughed loudly and the clump of demonic energy dissipated.
The elders appeared in the next instant, but the Demon Realm vanished in an instant.
"The Demon Realm?"
Elder Queying looked at the deserted street with a grim expression.
"Judging from the aura left behind, that demon was probably only at the Nascent Soul stage. How could it possess a demonic domain?"
Only those with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage can possess their own domain, with one exception.
That demon has no physical form.
Demons, formed from inanimate objects, possess their own demonic realm.
The elders exchanged glances, then popped the fireworks in their hands, sending a signal that was visible to all the members of the Sword Inquiry Sect.
The demons are provoking us, daring to openly abduct so many disciples right under the feet of the Sword Inquiry Sect.
Within the sect, many elders looked up at the sky and then saw the message in the elders' group chat on the Spirit Network.
In an instant, all the elders straightened their clothes, some flew on their swords, some carried pills, and some carried spiritual weapons, and together they went to the main peak.
Some people had already used tracking talismans, but there was no response. They had no choice but to go to the main peak to think of a solution together.
No one knew what that demon was; they tried everything but couldn't find a trace of it.
Yan Shanjun sat in the head seat with a deep gaze, while Yun Qian stepped forward and smiled at the elders, but his words were firm and resolute: "Perhaps the Sword Inquiry Sect has not been fighting demons for a long time, and this move is extremely arrogant. I hope that the elders will calm down and rescue the disciples before venting their anger."
If they didn't give a word of explanation, the impatient elders, led by Master Ningxuan, would rush straight to the Demon Realm.
The elders suppressed their anger, listened to the instructions, and dispersed, each using their own methods to search for the cunning demon's whereabouts.
At this moment, the old man with white hair and a long beard standing next to Lord Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Lord Yan, would you like me to do some divination?"
He shared the same Taoist air as the Immortal of Penglai, but while the Immortal of Penglai was always cheerful, this man was thin and frail.
"The magic of the Tianyan Sect is exquisite. I am extremely grateful for Senior Ning's help."
Ning Chongxuan smiled slightly and waved to his little disciple. The young cultivator holding the Qiankun Disc smiled and pulled Yun Qian along as they walked out.
Only the two of them remained in the hall.
"But young friend, I must say frankly that neither I nor the old man from Penglai can predict this matter today."
Yan Shanjun smiled politely, "Oh? What does that mean?"
Ning Chongxuan's expression was grave. "Your little apprentice has been involved."
Lord Yan's face darkened. The lantern festival at the foot of the mountain was lively. Although it was only a few hundred meters long, quite a few disciples were involved. He thought his little disciple had gone to play with her sister, but he did not expect his little disciple to be among them.
After a moment, he regained his composure and smiled again, "I was worried that something might happen to my disciples, but now that I know Si Yao is among them, I feel relieved."
Compared to his ordinary disciples, he knew his apprentice well; she was probably already leading the charge, taking on that demon alone.
He and Yun Qian usually instructed their young apprentices in swordsmanship, so he naturally knew that the strength she displayed was far beyond what a Golden Core cultivator could restrain, and that she could even fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He had never shown it off in public; this was his little apprentice's trump card. Only by using it unexpectedly could he catch those who underestimated her off guard.
Ning Chongxuan did not respond to his lighthearted words, his deep eyes carrying a hint of mystery, "I didn't say it yesterday, but the real reason I came here is to see your little apprentice."
He paused, then looked towards the outside of the hall.
"And her sister."
His most talented young apprentice came and ran back to tell him.
A person destined by fate will appear.
His youngest apprentice was more talented than him. He only asked twice if he was sure he hadn't misread it, and his youngest apprentice, Su Yang, answered affirmatively.
He then left the pass and sent a formal invitation directly to Lord Yanshan.
"..." Yan Shanjun's oppressive aura suddenly arrived, and he said with superficial respect, "Thank you for your concern, senior. I wonder what you have seen."
His first instinct was to protect the sisters, but then he thought that Ning Chongxuan was the Supreme Elder of the Tianyan Sect, who had announced his seclusion decades ago. At their level, seclusion was a matter of centuries.
Things are probably not that simple.
"...Their fates are strangely intertwined and connected to destiny."
Ning Chongxuan looked at him, suddenly focused his mind, set up a barrier before speaking again: "I have not seen the other one with my own eyes, but your little disciple, favored by the Mandate of Heaven, also has a dazzling blood-red light. I have never seen such a dazzling crimson. The records in the Tianyan Sect's library show that only the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable, who went into demonic possession and wanted to destroy the six realms tens of millions of years ago, had this phenomenon."
He mentioned the Six Realms and the Nine Heavens World Destroyer Immortal Venerable, a figure of immense fear throughout the history of the Six Realms.
This immediately branded his little apprentice with sin, and also made him, the sect leader of the Wenjian Sect who had taken her as his disciple, unable to escape blame.
Yan Shanjun's smile faltered, and he coldly snorted.
"Could it be that my disciple is too outstanding, or that you find the Sword Inquiry Sect, as the leader of the righteous path, too much of an eyesore, and have come up with such a pretext to try to incite a great war between the Sword Inquiry Sect and the cultivation world?"
What world-destroying demon? His little apprentice is just a bit taciturn, but his heart isn't as filthy as this old bastard's.
Seeing that Ning Chongxuan was getting anxious and wanted to refute, he waved his hand to stop him, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I respect you as the Supreme Elder of the Tianyan Sect, so I will pretend that I never said these words today."
