The outermost Tianyun Sect disciples hadn't even recovered from their shock before they collapsed and died.
The disciples who were closer to the altar reacted, but they were ultimately no match for the ethereal and invisible spiritual power that could kill without a trace. They all fell to the ground, dying with resentment.
Only the elders of the Tianyun Sect, whose killing intent had not yet subsided, realized something was wrong and reacted immediately, blocking Ning Yao's first wave of spiritual power attack.
"So that's how it is!" Ning Yao understood everything when she saw the red defense that had been erected around the other party.
It turns out she wasn't the only one in this world who practiced spiritual cultivation.
She wasn't the only one who could manipulate spiritual energy.
Or rather, the other party is controlling something else that is somewhat similar to spiritual energy.
Anyway, it's not the spiritual energy she possesses.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Tianyun Sect and disrupt our sect's sacrificial rites!"
After blocking Ning Yao's attack, the elder of Tianyun Sect launched a questioning and counterattack.
A red light, resembling spiritual energy but visible, shot straight towards Ning Yao's vital point.
Ning Yao raised her hand and used her spiritual energy to block the red light.
When spiritual energy encounters red light, it's like a cat encountering a mouse, relentlessly entangling it.
At the same time, the previously invisible spiritual energy now revealed its true form.
A breathtaking golden light!
Upon seeing this, the elder of the Tianyun Sect's face instantly turned horrified, his pupils dilating in shock.
"You can actually control it!"
"They actually found you!"
The "it" he was referring to was naturally the golden spiritual energy.
Seeing his reaction, Ning Yao roughly confirmed the elder's identity.
He channeled his spiritual power to directly annihilate the red light, and the golden spiritual power vanished instantly.
He also unleashed two more streams of spiritual energy, heading straight for the elder of the Tianyun Sect.
The vanished spiritual energy was not easy to find, so the Tianyun Sect elder could only raise the red defense again, intending to withstand this attack.
However, the red defense was easily breached, and the murderous spiritual power instantly shattered it.
The golden spiritual energy reappeared the instant it collided with the red defense, only to vanish again in a split second.
The next second, the elder of the Tianyun Sect was knocked to the ground.
The spiritual power transformed into spiritual energy, which rushed into his internal organs and began to wreak havoc.
The elders of the Tianyun Sect instantly became powerless.
On the other side, as soon as the lightning struck, Ning Yao set up her defenses and also summoned the two rain-dropping leaves.
As soon as the rain-dropping leaf appeared, a powerful purple lightning bolt shot straight into the sky, scattering the previously gathered lightning.
The rumbling sound rang out again, but this time it was no longer limited to the area above the Tianyun Sect; it covered the entire Moon City!
The heavy rain arrived as expected, soaking the crimson battlefield of Moon City to the bone.
Shen Ci'an and his group, who were walking down the mountain, were suddenly soaked to the bone without any warning.
Seeing everyone's disheveled state, Ning Jin clenched her fists, but ultimately held back and said nothing.
Braving the heavy rain, the group hurried down the mountain to the military camp.
Meanwhile, next to the altar of the Tianyun Sect, Ning Yao and the elders of the Tianyun Sect were still facing off.
Ning Yao subdued everyone in the Tianyun Sect with almost no effort.
She controlled the spiritual energy and spared the life of the Tianyun Sect elder.
She hasn't figured out the secrets of the Tianyun Sect yet.
Whether the Red Thousand Illusion Lotus is what she thinks it is, she still doesn't have an answer.
Ning Yao erected a defensive barrier, enveloping the entire sacrificial site and isolating it from the torrential rain outside.
She raised her hand and retrieved the raindrop, then, under the horrified gaze of the Tianyun Sect elder, she walked step by step toward him.
Ning Yao slowly squatted down, her clear, cold voice ringing out: "Are you a direct descendant or a collateral descendant of the Ning family?"
"Where did the red patterns on this pillar come from?"
"Are you the sect leader of the Tianyun Sect?!"
The elder of Tianyun Sect immediately denied it.
"What Ning family? I don't know anything about them!"
"I don't recognize this red pattern either!"
"I am merely an elder. The sect leader has been in seclusion for a long time, and I am only temporarily managing the sect's affairs."
Ning Yao chuckled softly upon hearing this, a chuckle so faint it was almost drowned out by the sound of rain outside.
But the elders of the Tianyun Sect still sensed a chilling feeling.
"Just an elder? Can an elder activate this Nine Revolutions Tempering Array on behalf of the sect leader?"
"As far as I know, only the person who presides over the Nine Revolutions Tempering Array can possess the items forged by this array."
"Could it be that the sect leader of Tianyun Sect is so generous as to entrust a treasure refined from turbid energy to an elder like you?"
The elder of the Tianyun Sect suddenly changed his expression and screamed in shock, "Who exactly are you?!"
Ning Yao frowned and impatiently picked at her ear: "You saw the golden spiritual energy, and you still ask me who I am? Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
With a flick of his slender fingers, a golden light appeared.
The spiritual energy swirled around Ning Yao's slender, snow-white fingers, dancing incessantly, as if she were having a great time.
"Activate the Nine Revolutions Tempering Array, isn't this exactly what you wanted?"
The sect leader stared at the spiritual energy in Ning Yao's hand with a mixture of greed and fear.
Seeing his expression, Ning Yao flipped her hand over, palm facing upward, and spiritual energy transformed into the shape of a thousand-illusion lotus, lifelike.
The sect leader's gaze never left Ning Yao's hand, his eyes filled with infatuation.
He murmured to himself, "This is the real Golden Lotus...this is the real Golden Lotus..."
Between words, a sudden surge of madness rose from the depths of his heart.
The sect leader reached out and lunged at Ning Yao, actually trying to snatch the golden lotus formed from spiritual energy.
Unfortunately, his palm passed through the spiritual energy, and instead of catching the golden lotus, he was attacked by the automatic defense of the spiritual energy.
My palm felt like it was being burned, and the pain was unbearable.
Ning Yao chuckled: "Want it?"
"Unfortunately, coveting other people's belongings will eventually backfire."
"Your hands are, and so is your body."
"Isn't that so?"
As early as when Ning Yao's spiritual energy entered his body, she saw that all the meridians in his body were covered with dark red substances.
Like a maggot that gnaws at your bones.
It penetrates to the bone marrow and is etched into the soul.
Ning Yao also guessed that this Nine Revolutions Tempering Array was being activated for the last time.
If successful, he will refine the turbid energy and use it for his own purposes. However, using a living person to restrict the formation will eventually backfire.
The mystery surrounding a person who died unjustly is profound. Even if the perpetrator succeeds, this person will become a heartless, indifferent, and ruthless killer.
If he fails to refine the turbid energy, then the things attached to his body will become his death warrant, and could take his life in an instant!
At the same time, these turbid energies that failed to be refined, because they are tainted with the blood of countless wronged souls, and without human vessels, will cause more serious consequences than the current battle of Moon City if they flow into the human world!
Natural disasters and man-made calamities have already made life unbearable for the people; it is absolutely unacceptable to allow the turbid energy from failed refining to harm them as well.
Now, with its own interference, the Tianyun Sect leader's plan has failed, and the turbid energy that failed to be refined is just waiting for the vessel that held it to die.
