Chapter 181
Under the midday sun, Li Muyang in the crowd suddenly felt a chill.
The arrival of the Demon Refining Sect’s Sect Master with his elders to Tianjiao City was incredibly abrupt.
Just a few days ago, they had annihilated the demons of the Blood Lotus Sect, and today, the Demonic Sect’s Sect Master led the elders to descend upon the city, a rapid development that caught everyone off guard.
It wasn’t until streaks of light tore through the sky, alarming the people of Tianjiao City, that the city lord hastily summoned the officials and major families to welcome them.
However, this welcome was too rushed. Not everyone had arrived when the twelve streaks of light landed in Tianjiao City.
Li Muyang, standing among the crowd, participated in this welcome.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing the Demonic Sect’s Sect Master leading eleven elders, he initially breathed a sigh of relief.
With the current strength of the Demonic Sect in Tianjiao City, even if the demons of the Blood Lotus Sect had any remaining schemes, they couldn’t possibly turn the tide.
Yan Xiaoru’s planning was impeccable.
But when Li Muyang saw the cold, smug smile on the face of Nangong Ting, the young valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley, a bizarre suspicion arose in his heart.–Could it be that the Blood Lotus Sect’s conspiracy was aimed at the elders of the Demonic Sect?
Otherwise, why would this mad woman be so pleased with so many elders of the Demonic Sect here?
Li Muyang instinctively grabbed the hand of his little sister, Li Yuechan, and whispered,
“Yuechan… something’s not right…”
Li Muyang looked around uncertainly, observing the crowd gathered for the welcome.
However, everything in the crowd seemed normal.
Faced with the sudden arrival of the Demonic Sect’s Sect Master and the elders, the officials and noble families of Tianjiao City were all surprised and reverent, not daring to make any strange moves.
Even the old valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley stood quietly among the crowd, almost invisible.
Only his daughter, Nangong Ting, wore a cold and smug smile.
Li Muyang, holding Li Yuechan’s hand, silently retreated through the crowd.
Logically, with so many experts from the Demon Refining Sect present, chaos should be impossible.
But Li Muyang’s intuition was frantically warning him.
At the same time, a mysterious woman’s voice filled with surprise reached Li Yuechan’s ears.
“…A familiar aura…”
The sudden statement from the mysterious woman startled Li Yuechan.
But before she had the chance to ask in detail, the voice in her ear became urgent.
It seemed the senior had discovered something.
“…Yuechan, quickly take your brother and leave Tianjiao City!”
“I know what the source of the Blood Lotus Sect is!”
The mysterious woman’s tone was anxious and furious, uttering two urgent warnings in succession.
It seemed she had discovered something extremely horrifying, as if she had seen an old enemy.
Hearing the senior’s urgent tone, Li Yuechan was slightly shocked and instinctively prepared to leave with her brother.
But it was already too late.
At the front of the welcoming procession, the lord of Tianjiao City and the law-enforcing elder, Yan Xiaoru, were currently meeting with the Demonic Sect’s Sect Master, conversing, while the eleven accompanying elders stood behind Sect Master Gong Yanghong, forming an impressive array.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yan Xiaoru carefully took out a Qiankun Ring and handed it to the Sect Master.
This Qiankun Ring contained only one treasure, the immortal weapon seized from the Blood Lotus Sect.
Currently, this immortal weapon was still dormant, unable to unleash its power.
With the Sect Master present, it was time to hand over the item for safekeeping.
But the moment Gong Yanghong reached out to take the Qiankun Ring, the ring that contained the ancient immortal weapon suddenly trembled and shattered into nothingness.
In Gong Yanghong’s open hand, only fragments of the ring remained.
This unexpected incident left everyone at the welcoming scene stunned.
But before anyone could speak, the situation changed again.
From within the shattered Qiankun Ring in Gong Yanghong’s hand, a blood-misted cauldron suddenly appeared, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Blood mist rose from the cauldron as if billions of resentful spirits were wailing within.
Gong Yanghong, surprised, said, “This cauldron…”
Before the words of the Demonic Sect’s Sect Master could finish, the blood mist within the bronze cauldron exploded violently.
Endless blood-red fog poured out from the cauldron, spreading in all directions.
In an instant, the space within a hundred zhang of the welcoming scene was engulfed by the blood mist.
Li Muyang and his little sister, Li Yuechan, had just retreated to the back of the crowd when their field of vision was filled with the blood-colored fog.
In this blood mist, Li Muyang’s body suddenly stiffened, clearly feeling the loss of his connection to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and his connection to his dantian.
In a flash, he was stripped of all his cultivation, rendered powerless!
“This blood mist is strange!”
Angry roars erupted from within the crowd.
All the cultivators present were the pinnacle of Tianjiao City’s fighting force, even the top force of the Demon Refining Sect.
The moment the blood mist obscured their vision, everyone sensed something was wrong.
This blood mist could unreasonably strip away everyone’s cultivation!
A chill ran through Li Muyang’s heart as his ominous premonition became a reality at this moment.
The demons of the Blood Lotus Sect indeed had a backup plan!
And it was definitely not just the blood mist!
Li Muyang quickly turned his head to scan his surroundings, but he could no longer see clearly through the blood mist.
However, from within the depths of the blood mist, there suddenly came piercing screams and the sound of blood splattering, along with the low, angry voices of hundreds, perhaps thousands.
“Rebirth through blood! Salvation to all sentient beings!”
These voices rose from all directions, accompanied by the piercing screams and the dull thuds of bodies falling heavily.
“It’s the demons of the Blood Lotus Sect!”
Li Muyang’s face darkened.
As soon as he spoke, a warrior dressed in red with a red cloth tied around his head suddenly appeared in the blood mist in front of him.
This warrior was clearly a commoner with no cultivation, merely possessing some vitality from physical training.
In a world where cultivators existed, warriors didn’t even qualify to be noticed by cultivators.
But in the blood mist that stripped everyone of their cultivation, the sudden appearance of this warrior was like encountering a tiger in the mountains or a dragon in the sea!
Faced with Li Muyang and his sister, both dressed in white robes, the warrior’s face showed a ferocious smile as he swung his steel blade down.
The blade was swift, and any cultivator who had lost their cultivation was sure to die.
However, the smile on the warrior’s face froze in the next moment.
The Demonic Sect disciple in white robes, who had been stripped of all cultivation by the blood mist, suddenly burst into action.
In an instant, Li Muyang turned into a blur, crashing heavily into the arms of the warrior.
The violent force of the impact came crashing down, and the warrior wielding a steel blade screamed in agony, immediately sent flying into the blood mist, disappearing from sight.
To his dying breath, the warrior couldn’t understand how a Demonic Sect disciple, whose cultivation had been stripped away, could possess such terrifying strength!
Within the blood mist, Li Muyang had eliminated this threat, but as he turned around, he saw another burly and robust warrior from the Blood Lotus Sect emerging behind his sister, Li Yuechan.
His eyes widened in shock.
“Yuechan!”
Li Muyang spun around, unleashing the full force of his blood energy as he dashed towards his sister.
But then, something strange happened.
Facing the Blood Lotus Sect warrior who had emerged from the blood mist, Li Yuechan, whose cultivation was supposed to be completely stripped away, suddenly displayed a layer of shimmering pale green flames around her body.
In the next second, with a casual wave of her hand, Li Yuechan’s sharp flame blade cleaved the warrior in two.
