289: Yao Delong!

"Stop your nonsense!" Lei Zhenzi's beard and hair bristled with fury as he pointed at Liang Wufeng.

"Hand over Xiao Chen immediately! This boy has colluded with the Demonic Sect Mole Luo Tianying,"

"deserted the battlefield, and harmed his fellow disciples—his crimes are unforgivable!"

"And that Ghost Shadow, hand him over as well!"

Liang Wufeng's brow furrowed slightly, and before he could answer...

Just then, a commotion broke out within the Moyang Sect's ranks.

Ghost Shadow emerged, supporting Xiao Chen, who remained unconscious and in a weakened state.

"Hall Master Liang!" Ghost Shadow shouted urgently.

"Xiao Chen is the son of Hall Master Mo of our Moyang Sect's Dharma Transmission Hall! Furthermore, he was acting under Hall Master Mo's secret orders!"

"How can we hand him over to the Yin Yang Sect? This is slander!"

"Hall Master Mo's son?" A sharp light flickered in Liang Wufeng's eyes as his gaze toward Xiao Chen instantly changed.

Liang Wufeng's gaze hardened as he looked at Lei Zhenzi with a forced smile.

"Lei the Madman, what kind of madness has possessed you?"

"Xiao Chen is the son of our Moyang Sect's Dharma Transmission Hall Master Mo. How can he be left to the mercy of your Yin Yang Sect?"

"Bullshit!" Lei Zhenzi's hair stood on end with rage, thunder crackling all around him.

"This scoundrel colluded with the Demonic Path and harmed his fellow disciples; the evidence is conclusive!"

"Today, he must be brought back to the Yin Yang Sect and punished according to sect rules! Old Ghost Liang, do you dare to shield him?!" Liang Wufeng's voice turned cold.

"Your claims of colluding with the Demonic Path and harming fellow Disciples..."

"...are nothing more than the Yin Yang Sect's one-sided story. Do you have any proof?"

"Proof? My word is proof!" Lei Zhenzi laughed in extreme anger as the thunder light around him surged.

"Old Ghost Liang, are you determined to shield this wretch today?"

"Hmph, how can protecting the descendant of my own sect's Hall Master be called shielding?"

Liang Wufeng met him head-on, a cold and powerful aura rising from his body that was not at all inferior to Lei Zhenzi's.

Suddenly, Liang Wufeng's eyes flickered imperceptibly.

His gaze met briefly and subtly with a certain presence in the shadows behind Ghost Shadow.

The initial trace of hesitation immediately transformed into resolve.

"Lei the Madman! Since Xiao Chen is the son of a Moyang Sect Hall Master, he shall be under the protection of the Moyang Sect!"

"You think you can take someone based solely on your Disciple's word? Keep dreaming! If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

He boldly assumed a combat stance, his spiritual power surging!

"Good! What a Moyang Sect! Today, this old man shall teach you a lesson!"

Lei Zhenzi laughed in fury as violent thunder power erupted, looking like a god of thunder descending to the world.

He threw a punch carrying the weight of ten thousand thunderbolts, striking fiercely at Liang Wufeng!

The two Void Refining Great Experts instantly clashed in battle!

A terrifying storm of spiritual power swept out, frightening the low-level Disciples of both sects into retreating.

In the midst of this chaos!

An enchanting figure dressed in purple robes emerged like a ghost from the shadows at the edge of the Moyang Sect's ranks!

It was Luo Tianying, who had just been teleported out and whose aura had clearly recovered to its Peak!

The moment she appeared, that faint yet incredibly pure Devilish Qi...

...was like a lighthouse in the dark, instantly attracting the attention of all the experts present!

"Devilish Qi! It's Luo Tianying!"

Several Late Nascent Soul Stage Elders of the Yin Yang Sect were pale with shock.

Reacting quickly, they instantly summoned their Magic Treasures and launched a joint attack on Luo Tianying!

"Hmph! Ants!"

A flash of disdain and cold killing intent crossed Luo Tianying's eyes.

Her Half-step Soul Transformation cultivation erupted! Facing the siege of several Late Nascent Soul Stage experts, her figure moved like an illusion.

With her purple robes fluttering and a light wave of her jade-like hand, streaks of highly condensed, dark Demonic Essence shot out like venomous snakes!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

In just a single exchange, the two Yin Yang Sect Late Nascent Soul Stage Elders at the front were struck heavily.

Their protective spiritual light shattered instantly, and they were sent flying back, coughing up blood!

The others were also forced into a frantic defense, their offensive instantly collapsing!

"Stop her!"

Seeing this, Lei Zhenzi roared and tried to break away, but he was held fast by Liang Wufeng.

While the two Void Refining Great Experts, Lei Zhenzi and Liang Wufeng, were in the heat of battle with violent spiritual storms sweeping in all directions,

and several Nascent Soul Elders of the Yin Yang Sect were being wounded by Luo Tianying!

"Luo Tianying! Cease your arrogance!"

Han Yun and Yue Shan acted directly. Han Yun's hands formed seals,

and several tough golden vines shot out from the ground like spirit snakes,

entwining around Luo Tianying's feet in an attempt to restrict her ghostly movement!

Meanwhile, Yue Shan roared, his muscles bulging as his earthy-yellow spiritual power condensed into a massive rock shield.

He boldly blocked the path of the two wounded Elders and took the brunt of a dark Demonic Essence bolt from Luo Tianying's pursuit!

Boom! The rock shield vibrated violently, and Yue Shan let out a muffled groan.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but his figure stood as firm and immovable as a mountain!

In the Moyang Sect camp.

"Brother!"

Li Linger anxiously tugged at Li Chen's sleeve, her voice carrying a hint of a sob and absolute determination.

"It's Big Brother Yao! Last time on the outskirts of the Burial God Abyss,"

"if Big Brother Yao hadn't blocked that fatal strike from the Ironclad Earth Dragon, your sister would have lost her life!"

"Now his fellow Disciples are surrounding the demonic woman; we cannot just stand by and watch! Everyone has a duty to eliminate the Demonic Path!"

Li Chen looked at the genuine plea in his sister's eyes,

then glanced at Luo Tianying, who was fighting with her purple robes fluttering and her Devilish Qi surging,

as well as the Yin Yang Sect members fighting a bloody battle, especially Yue Shan's fearless back.

He recognized the people from Yao Delong's team that day at a glance and instantly made a decision.

"Enshrined Elder Shi, Enshrined Elder Zhao, go quickly and help the Yin Yang Sect!"

Li Chen's voice was loud and carried an unquestionable authority.

"The demonic woman Luo Tianying brings chaos to the Righteous Path; everyone has a duty to eliminate her!"

"Follow me to assist our Fellow Daoists of the Yin Yang Sect and capture this scoundrel!"

The two Elders instantly formed a formation, their spiritual light interweaving to create a massive net of spiritual power.

Coordinating with Han Yun and Yue Shan's assault, they cast the net toward Luo Tianying from the flank!

"Yao Delong?"

This name was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring ripples in two other corners of the Moyang Sect's ranks.

Yun Ruoning had originally been watching coldly from the sidelines; she didn't have much interest in the demonic cultivator Luo Tianying.

But when the name 'Yao Delong' clearly reached her ears from the crowd, her cold phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed!

She immediately looked at Yue Shan, who was fighting Luo Tianying, and at the anxious Lin Qingxue nearby.

In a flash, Yun Ruoning made her judgment.

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice clear yet carrying an irresistible power:

"Yun Guards, take action! Assist Yue Shan and trap that demonic woman!"

"Yes, Young Miss!"

Behind her, two grey-robed Elders with steady auras—clearly at Nascent Soul Perfection—moved in response.

Their figures merged into the battlefield like ghosts; one's palm wind was like a blade, cutting through space,

while the other's finger force was like lightning, specifically designed to break through protective Demonic Essence. They instantly joined the siege against Luo Tianying!

Their arrival made the situation even more perilous for Luo Tianying, who was already under immense pressure!

On the other side, Han Ruyi's delicate body trembled with excitement!

She had been searching for news of 'Yao Delong' for so long, and now she had finally heard something!

Although she wasn't certain who he was exactly, the people of the Yin Yang Sect were fighting a demonic woman for his sake,

and Li Linger even called him her savior! This clue was too important!
