The people from Taiyi Holy Land did not leave immediately.
Liu Qingchan was still immersed in her enlightenment.
Her trip to the Profound Heaven Tower seemed to have yielded substantial gains.
Luo Yin was in no rush, so he waited in place.
The Daoist Nun stood beside Liu Qingchan, gazing at the young girl who was nearly as tall as her while seated. She let out a soft sound of surprise.
“She’s actually comprehending Sword Intent.”
Comprehending Sword Intent?
Luo Yin stepped forward upon hearing this, releasing his divine sense. He sensed the sharp sword qi swirling around Liu Qingchan, along with the Sword Intent gradually taking shape.
It was somewhat unexpected.
He knew Liu Qingchan had received a significant opportunity in the Profound Heaven Tower, but he hadn’t realized it was this substantial!
It seemed she had gained a sudden insight during her battle with his shadow.
In that case, they needed to wait for her to fully comprehend the Sword Intent before leaving.
Since the Taiyi Holy Land group wasn’t going anywhere, the surrounding cultivators didn’t leave either.
Even without any more excitement to watch, getting a glimpse of powerhouses from the Central Province Realm was reward enough.
Half an hour later.
A dark mass suddenly surged through the distant sky, barreling toward them with overwhelming momentum.
“Whoa! What the heck is that?”
“Looks like people! A ton of them! All at the Great Power Realm or higher!”
“Oh my god! I think I see the robes of the Heavenly Demon Sect! Isn’t that Yan Zhengxiong leading them?”
“It really is! And behind him are all the elders and protectors of the Heavenly Demon Sect! What are they up to?!”
“I remember the Heavenly Demon Sect saying before they left that they’d cause trouble for Taiyi Holy Land. Are they coming for them?”
“Then they’re done for. The sect master himself is here. Taiyi Holy Land is finished this time.”
“Not necessarily. Didn’t you see the Daoist Nun there?”
“But she might not help Taiyi Holy Land. I’d say Luo Yin destroying the Profound Heaven Tower means she didn’t kill him on the spot is already lucky. Expecting her to fend off the Heavenly Demon Sect for him?”
“…”
The onlookers debated heatedly, their previously calmed hearts stirring once more.
Even those who had been about to leave stopped in their tracks, ready to watch the drama unfold.
As the Heavenly Demon Sect group drew closer, Luo Yin’s brows furrowed tightly.
Mo Wenlin’s face was set with grim determination, as if ready to face death unflinchingly.
Ling’er clung to Ling Qingxue’s arm, standing beside Luo Yin with her head shrunk back.
“Young Master, are these guys coming for us?”
Luo Yin nodded, then glanced at the Daoist Nun nearby. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
The Daoist Nun’s lips twitched slightly.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Luo Yin chuckled and sent her a voice transmission.
“Daoist Nun, I’m no match for these guys anyway. I bet you don’t want me dying so soon, right? After all, once I grow stronger with the Primordial Chaos Dao Embryo, I’ll be able to take down the Blood Nether Race! You wouldn’t want the Human Race to lose a powerful fighter, would you?”
The Daoist Nun’s lips twitched even more. She had never met such a shameless person.
She had lived for countless years, and juniors trembled in her presence, barely daring to breathe.
Yet this guy acted so casually.
Now he was even demanding her help—with a hint of threat!
But she couldn’t refute his words. The Primordial Chaos Dao Embryo was one of the Nine Great Treasures, quite powerful. Once matured, it could slay even a Blood Nether General in one strike.
Besides, wiping out a minor sect was a matter of moments.
Still, his attitude irked her.
She shot Luo Yin a fierce glare and snorted coldly.
“We’ll see. If these fools are truly that blind, I’ll make them regret it.”
Luo Yin smiled, his worries easing.
Mo Wenlin had overheard as well and breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Buzz!
At that moment, a sword cry rang out from behind them!
A majestic, piercing Sword Intent erupted from Liu Qingchan.
Mo Wenlin quickly formed hand seals, erecting a defensive barrier to block the sword qi.
Liu Qingchan slowly opened her eyes. Spotting Luo Yin, she beamed with joy.
“Senior Brother! I’ve comprehended Sword Intent!”
Luo Yin grinned and ruffled her hair. “Impressive! This Sword Intent feels incredibly powerful!”
It wasn’t empty praise; Luo Yin could sense the formidable might of it.
Liu Qingchan giggled, then noticed the Heavenly Demon Sect arrivals hovering in the sky. Her expression changed abruptly.
“Senior Brother, why are they here!?”
Luo Yin took her small hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”
Feeling the warmth of his large hand, Liu Qingchan’s heart warmed, though unease lingered.
She was unaware of the Daoist Nun’s true nature, seeing her only as an ordinary little girl.
Though she wondered where the child had come from, now wasn’t the time to ask.
“Mo Wenlin, hand over Luo Yin and Liu Qingchan! Otherwise, my Heavenly Demon Sect will annihilate your Taiyi Holy Land!”
Yan Zhengxiong halted in midair, looking down at the Taiyi Holy Land group as he bellowed.
His voice boomed, echoing in all directions.
The onlookers watched with gleeful anticipation, eager for Taiyi Holy Land’s response.
Ji Tianqing eyed the Heavenly Demon Sect group swaggering on his turf but stayed silent. With the Daoist Nun present, it wasn’t his place to speak.
Seeing no reply from Mo Wenlin, Yan Zhengxiong grew furious. “Mo Wenlin! Why aren’t you speaking?! If you stay silent, This Venerable will start with you!”
“Noisy!”
An indifferent voice cut through the clamor, reaching everyone’s ears.
Yan Zhengxiong frowned. “Who dares speak to This Venerable like that?!”
The Daoist Nun stepped forward.
“Even I don’t call myself ‘This Venerable,’ and here you are, a mere Sealing King Realm cultivator, acting so arrogant! It’s truly grating.”
Yan Zhengxiong saw it was just a little girl and burst into mocking laughter, his face turning icy.
“Who are you? This is a grudge between This Venerable and Taiyi Holy Land. I advise you to step aside! Otherwise, don’t blame This Venerable for being ruthless!”
“Noisy!”
The Daoist Nun uttered the words again, flatly. Then she waved her slender hand.
A strand of temporal power struck Yan Zhengxiong’s brow.
In an instant, Yan Zhengxiong began aging rapidly. In the blink of an eye, his hair turned white, and his body withered to skin and bones!
“Sect Master!!!”
The Heavenly Demon Sect members reacted at once.
“You!!!”
Yan Zhengxiong’s eyes bulged. He circulated his cultivation art desperately, but to no avail. He could only watch helplessly as his life ebbed away.
In less than three breaths, the once-vital Yan Zhengxiong had become a desiccated corpse!
The onlookers could no longer hold back their shock!
They stared at the Daoist Nun in terror, their hearts surging with dread.
Even Luo Yin inwardly clicked his tongue in amazement.
Liu Qingchan and the others were utterly stunned.
A Sealing King Realm powerhouse, whom they had seen as invincible, had been erased with a casual wave from this little girl!
“Sect Master!!!”
“Avenge the Sect Master!!!”
“Kill this brat!!!”
The Heavenly Demon Sect members flew into a hysterical rage.
Yet not one dared step forward.
The Daoist Nun sneered. “A bunch of cowards. Go join him!”
With another wave of her hand, she stripped away everyone’s lifespan. They all crumpled into dry husks.
The onlookers were dumbfounded, not daring to breathe.
This group, aggressive enough to wipe out the entire Northern Spirit Realm save for the Dayan Dynasty and Fuyao Holy Land, had been utterly annihilated in the blink of an eye!?
Only now did everyone truly grasp the Daoist Nun’s terror.
She coldly scanned the crowd before turning to Luo Yin.
“Wait here for me. When I return, take me to Taiyi Holy Land.”
Luo Yin hurriedly asked, “Where are you going!?”
Without looking back, the Daoist Nun stepped forward.
“I’m off to wipe out the Heavenly Demon Sect and eliminate any future threats!”
Luo Yin’s heart jolted. So this was the reason the Divination Turtle Shell had guided him to the ninth floor of the Profound Heaven Tower.
Not directly to resolve the Heavenly Demon Sect’s assault.
But indirectly!
The Daoist Nun’s figure vanished, reappearing above the Heavenly Demon Sect in an instant.
The cultivators around the Profound Heaven Tower knew.
The Heavenly Demon Sect was finished for good…
