33: The Heavenly Demon Palace! The Loose Immortal of the Canglan Holy Sect! Ling Feiyan!

Heavenly Nether Hall! Heavenly Demon Hall!

Two of the top-ranking giants among the Nine Great Demon Halls of the Demon Domain had actually arrived at the city gates simultaneously, joining forces to attack!

This was clearly a long-premeditated plot, intended to take advantage of the internal strife within the Canglan Sacred Sect and the fact that the Sacred Lord's injuries had not yet healed, to uproot this Sect that had guarded the human border and fought against the Demon Domain for over a hundred thousand years in one fell swoop!

Inside the main hall, Leng Qingshuang's eyes nearly split with rage as she looked at Tang Zhen!

She truly hadn't expected that Tang Zhen had already planted so many people outside the Sect and had even used Formations to teleport the Demon Domain Cultivators over!

Were those people beneath the Canglan Sacred Sect all useless?

This caused Leng Qingshuang to feel beyond enraged!

She hadn't been in charge of the Sect for long, and much of that time had been spent dealing with the secret sabotage and interference from the Grand Elder's faction.

Compared to the mess she had first taken over—a Sect worn down by a long-standing war with the Demon Domain—the current state of the Sect under her management had improved significantly.

But looking at it now, time was still not enough; there were still many areas that needed a thorough investigation!

Why were there so many Demon Domain Cultivators appearing in the Canglan Domain outside the Sect, yet the high-level departments and institutions within the Sect had no information, not even a single warning?!

It was just like right now: the people of the Demon Domain had already used teleportation Formations to strike at their doorstep, yet the Cultivators in the Sect's lower-level institutions hadn't noticed, remaining completely in the dark until the sudden discovery just now!

After all, she, as the Sacred Lord, couldn't do everything personally, otherwise what was the point of having all those other high-level officials and departments?

Her energy as the Sacred Lord was also limited; dealing with the Grand Elder's lineage and weeding out the high-level core spies within the Sect had already consumed most of her attention.

And those other departments, it seemed now, were all for show!

If the hidden dangers within the Sect weren't completely eradicated, the Sect would never have a day of peace!

If you can't manage or control this department, then get out; there are plenty of strong and capable people who can step up to manage it!

Her gaze coldly swept across the peak masters of the other peaks and the Sect Elders in the hall, her eyes chilling.

But now was not the time for a thorough investigation; dealing with the Demon Domain and slaughtering all these invaders was their most urgent matter!

"The Demon Domain is arrogant; how dare they invade our borders?!"

"Activate the Mountain Protection Formation at full power!"

"All Disciples, face the enemy!!"

Within the Sect, alarm bells rang continuously, accompanied by roar after roar of fury.

Countless streaks of light took flight from all directions. After the brief shock and panic, the Elders, True Disciples, and those in secluded cultivation who had reacted quickly organized a defense and counterattack.

The Canglan Sacred Sect had not earned its reputation for nothing by confronting the Demon Domain for so many years; the blood and spirit of its Disciples still remained!

But the two Great Demon Halls had come prepared, and their top-tier combat power had come out in full force!

The terrifying pressure from those two Four Tribulation and Five Tribulation Loose Immortals, the foundations of the Demon Domain Sects, was like two primordial demonic mountains weighing heavily on the hearts of every Canglan person, causing the light curtain of the Mountain Protection Formation to ripple violently!

Ordinary Disciples found it difficult even to breathe under this pressure!

Leng Qingshuang's face was masked in frost, the killing intent in her eyes almost solidifying.

She took a step out of the hall and stood in mid-air, directly facing the pressure of the Four Tribulation Loose Immortal from the east. Her vast spiritual power of the Mahayana Late Stage was released without reservation, rising like a glacier to stubbornly withstand that heaven-toppling demonic Aura!

She was also feeling very uncomfortable; even one of these Four or Five Tribulation Loose Immortals was not something she could resist on her own!

But she still could not let the majestic Aura of the Canglan Sacred Sect falter!

"Old Ghost Tian You, Heavenly Demon Blood Monk! Since you've come today, then stay here for good!"

Her voice was icy, spreading across the fields.

"Jiejie... Leng Qingshuang, death is at hand, yet you still dare to speak such arrogant nonsense!"

The Four Tribulation Loose Immortal of Heavenly Nether Hall let out a strange laugh like an owl.

"I will certainly claim your profound yin cold jade origin on behalf of that young lad, our Heavenly Nether Hall's Demon Lord! Attack!"

With his command, the allied forces of the two Great Demon Halls launched a fierce general offensive!

Countless demonic Cultivators were like a black tide, a dark cloud pressing down on the city, frantically battering the teetering Mountain Protection Formation!

The brilliance of Demonic Path Spells and the counterattacking spiritual light of the Canglan Sacred Sect Disciples intertwined and collided. Explosions were continuous, and lives were lost every single moment!

At the same time, the internal rebellion within the Sect continued. Those death warriors and Sleeper Agents corrupted by Devilish Qi worked from the inside to coordinate with the outside, creating even greater chaos in an attempt to dismantle the defenses from within.

At this critical moment of internal strife and external threat, when the Sect was in imminent peril!

"Hmph! You pieces of trash from the Demon Domain, do you truly think my Canglan is without people?!"

Two aged yet infinitely majestic and angry cold snorts exploded like thunder from the two most secluded forbidden mountain peaks of the Canglan Sacred Sect!

Boom! Boom!

Two brilliant streaks of light, like rainbows, soared into the sky!

A terrifying Aura, as vast as a sea of stars and as ancient as time itself, instantly swept across the entire battlefield, slightly thinning the pressure from those two Demon Domain Loose Immortals!

The brilliance faded, revealing two figures.

The one on the left was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, holding a fly-whisk, possessing the air of a transcendent immortal.

The one on the right was a tall, unkempt Sloppy Daoist with a wine gourd hanging at his waist.

The Aura of both men was as deep as the ocean, with the faint light of immortal spirits flowing around them. They were both impressively at the Realm of Five Tribulation Loose Immortal!

These were the true foundation and the stabilizing pillars of the Canglan Sacred Sect!

These were the Sect's Loose Immortal Old Ancestors who spent their years in death-seclusion, indifferent to worldly affairs and focusing solely on preparing for their next Loose Immortal Tribulation, appearing only when the Sect faced a matter of life and death!

"Girl Frost, focus on dealing with the internal traitors; leave the Devil Heads outside to us two old sets of bones."

The old man with the fly-whisk gave Leng Qingshuang a slight nod, his tone flat but carrying an unquestionable confidence.

"Heh, Old Ghost Tian You, Heavenly Demon Baldy, I haven't stretched my muscles for nearly a thousand years. I'll use you two to loosen them up!"

The Sloppy Daoist took a swig of wine, his eyes flashing with brilliance and his Battle Intent soaring.

The two Five Tribulation Loose Immortals of the Canglan Sacred Sect proactively engaged the Four Tribulation Loose Immortal of Heavenly Nether Hall and the Five Tribulation Loose Immortal of the Heavenly Demon Hall!

Perhaps the Loose Immortal Old Ancestors of the Canglan Sacred Sect had previously caused the Sect to split into different factions due to differing viewpoints, looking down on each other or having small conflicts.

But at this moment, on such a critical matter of right and wrong between the Human and Demon paths, they would absolutely set aside their past grievances to jointly resist the invasion of external forces, especially these Demon Domain demonic Cultivators!

This Sloppy Daoist and the immortal-looking old man had also had small frictions before, with different views on certain issues, which had led the Sect to gradually divide into the Sacred Lord faction and the Grand Elder faction.

Among them, this wine-loving Sloppy Daoist was the underlying foundation of the Grand Elder's faction.

But at this very moment!

Even if the Sloppy Daoist had previously been the main pillar behind Grand Elder Tang Zhen's faction,

now that Tang Zhen had colluded with the Demon Race and even joined the Demon Domain, that was an unforgivable act!

He was someone that even the pillar behind him would personally seek to execute upon finding out!

Colluding with the Demon Domain and harming the Sect was an offense for which one should be ground to dust!

He and the other old man would certainly join forces to repel the foreign enemies and kill the traitor.

The four terrifying existences standing at the peak of the Lower Realm instantly fought as one, battling until the sky grew dark, the sun and moon lost their light, and space shattered. The aftershocks alone caused countless low-level Cultivators below to cough up blood and retreat!

Seeing this, they realized that if they continued to fight in this area, their Disciples and descendants below might all be killed by the aftershocks before their battle even ended!

In the next moment, they soared into the clouds to continue their battle above the firmament!

The top-tier combatants were temporarily occupied, but the overall strength of the Demon Domain army still held the advantage. Combined with the unresolved internal strife, the situation for the Canglan Sacred Sect remained far from optimistic.

Just then, a plain white figure swept across the chaotic battlefield like a startled swan, appearing behind two traitorous Elders of the Tribulation Crossing Stage who were frantically directing death warriors to attack a Formation node.

It was Lu Yu's Dao Protector, Su Rouxue.

She was still in her flowing white dress, her face hazy, with only those clear eyes now carrying a hint of cold, solemn killing intent.

She ignored the fierce fighting around her and locked her gaze on the two Body Integration Stage traitors, whose bodies were steaming with Devilish Qi and whose expressions were hideous.

"As Sect Elders, you chose to be dogs of the Demon Domain; you deserve to be executed."

As her cold voice fell, Su Rouxue joined her fingers like a sword and lightly tapped the air.

The two Body Integration Stage traitors turned back in horror, only to feel an indescribable force of sharpness and imprisonment instantly descend, as if the entire world was rejecting and suppressing them!

They roared, pushing their Demonic Techniques and summoning Magic Treasures to resist, but under that seemingly casual finger, all their defenses shattered like paper!

Puff! Puff!

Two soft sounds rang out as a small bloody hole appeared in the center of both their brows. The light in their eyes instantly dimmed, the surging Devilish Qi around them dissipated like a punctured balloon, and their corpses slumped to the ground.

For Su Rouxue, at the Late Stage of Tribulation Crossing, killing Body Integration Stage traitors a full Realm lower was unexpectedly easy and effortless!

She struck repeatedly, her figure flickering across the chaotic battlefield. Every time she appeared, a powerful Sleeper Agent planted by the Demon Domain or a rebel leader would fall silently, greatly easing the pressure on the internal defensive lines.

However, the offensive of the Demon Domain army remained fierce.

The Mountain Protection Formation was damaged in multiple places, and demonic Cultivators had already fought their way into the mountain gate, engaging in a tragic close-quarters struggle with the Canglan Disciples.

Every moment, Disciples fell, their blood staining the jade steps. Severed limbs and broken arms were everywhere; the former immortal Realm had seemingly turned into an Asura field.

Just as the battle fell into a stalemate and the casualties among the Canglan Sacred Sect Disciples were mounting!

"I, Ling Feiyan of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect, lead the War Demon Army to assist! You petty scoundrels of the Demon Domain shall all be executed!!"

A clear, cold woman's voice, filled with solemn killing intent, was like a sword of dawn, tearing through the noise and wails of the battlefield to clearly reach everyone's ears!

The moment that voice rang out, it seemed as if even the bloodlust and Evil Qi permeating the battlefield were swept clean.
