86: The conspiracy is revealed, the battle begins.

"Oh?"

"Someone has actually seen the Snow Mountain Sect Sect Master?"

"Then I won't pretend anymore. I am Duan Shen, a deacon of the Demon Shadow Sect.

Thank you, Righteous Path Cultivators, for walking right into my trap!"

Duan Shen grinned and laughed wildly.

As a deacon of a branch of the Demon Shadow Sect, he had been sent to this remote Northern Region to carry out the plan to destroy the Snow Mountain Sect.

He had thought it was a thankless task.

But he didn't expect to unexpectedly discover that the Snow Mountain Sect had recently unearthed a large piece of ten thousand year snow crystal marrow.

That was a supreme treasure for cultivation.

After attacking the Snow Mountain Sect, he originally wanted to interrogate the Snow Mountain Sect Sect Master about the whereabouts of the ten thousand year snow crystal marrow.

But the Snow Mountain Sect Sect Master directly self-detonated, refusing to reveal the location of the ten thousand year snow crystal marrow.

Helpless, he could only search for it himself, and finally, he discovered a treasure vault sealed by a Formation beneath this very hall.

He estimated that the ten thousand year snow crystal marrow was right here.

This Formation was built by the Snow Mountain Sect at a great cost of resources.

If one were to break it with brute force, it would be impossible without a Nascent Soul Stage Level Two Realm.

But he did not want to notify the higher-ups of the Demon Shadow Sect.

If he notified them, although they could call over Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivators to easily break the Formation...

...the vast majority of the ten thousand year snow crystal marrow would definitely be taken by the higher-ups.

Therefore, in order to monopolize the ten thousand year snow crystal marrow, he could only send his subordinates to trick some Righteous Path Cultivators into coming here.

Using them to activate a blood sacrifice Cultivation Technique to break the Formation.

"It's actually a demonic cultivator! I was actually deceived!"

"Everyone, attack together and kill these demonic cultivators!"

"We have the numbers, don't be afraid of them!"

Several Nascent Soul Realm Loose Cultivators stepped forward directly.

But unexpectedly, ten Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivators from outside surrounded them.

There were also several Golden Core Realm demonic cultivators who entered the hall to attack the other Cultivators.

At this time, all the demonic cultivators outside had entered the hall.

They even activated a Formation to prevent the people inside from escaping.

"Senior Sister Qingshuang, we can make our Move now.

Now all those demonic cultivators are here."

Su Yun sent a direct voice transmission.

"Alright."

"Junior Brother Yun."

"I'll listen to you."

"Frost Sword Art."

Luo Qingshuang nodded, spiritual light flickering in her hand as a spirit sword appeared in her grasp.

A burst of extreme cold Qi spread throughout the hall.

Perhaps because everyone in the hall was still constantly fighting, they didn't notice.

Su Yun also circulated his spiritual power at this time, and the Flowing Cloud Sword flew out from his body, which he then gripped in his hand.

At this moment, a Nascent Soul Realm Loose Cultivator was no match for the several demonic cultivators besieging him.

Seeing the demonic cultivators' blade light close at hand, he shouted in despair:

"Help!

Someone save me!"

Just as he unwillingly closed his eyes, preparing to self-detonate his Nascent Soul to take these demonic cultivators down with him...

...he suddenly felt a burst of dazzling light shining in front of him.

"This is?"

"Flowing Light Sword Art!"

A voice rang out near him.

He snapped his eyes open.

He saw a handsome youth dressed in white suddenly flash in front of the several demonic cultivators opposite him.

Immediately after, a golden light flashed.

Those demonic cultivators were instantly knocked back.

One demonic cultivator even spat out blood.

He seemed to be heavily injured.

One must know that that demonic cultivator was at the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer Realm.

"Golden Core Realm?"

"So powerful?"

"Who are you?"

Several demonic cultivators instantly pulled back to a distance.

They realized this kid's strength was not right.

Having the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm at the Golden Core Fourth Layer Realm...

He was definitely not a Loose Cultivator.

He must be a Genius from some large organization out for experience.

"I'm just passing through."

Su Yun said indifferently, and then he continued to attack.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, I'll just kill you.

There's a Formation here that can block transmissions.

"Afterimage Demonic Blade!"

A Nascent Soul Fifth Layer Realm Cultivator took out a spirit blade and slashed fiercely towards Su Yun.

A dozens-of-meters-long black blade light attacked towards Su Yun.

Several Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivators by his side also followed closely behind.

Several ten-meter-sized sword lights and fist lights struck.

"Flowing Light Sword Art!"

Su Yun used the same sword art again.

It was a good opportunity to use it more and improve his proficiency.

Several red lights shone directly opposite, colliding with the blade light and other attacks.

A violent explosion sounded.

The red light gained the upper hand. After neutralizing the attacks aimed at Su Yun, it once again attacked the demonic cultivators.

"Sword Intent?"

"Damn it, everyone give it your all!"

Several demonic cultivators hurriedly used their trump card Moves.

For a moment, pitch-black spiritual light flickered, and everyone on the field focused their attention on Su Yun's side.

"Hmm?"

"Could this kid be from some Holy Land?"

Duan Shen's expression turned solemn, and he immediately became wary.

Generally, Geniuses from Holy Lands have backup plans and trump cards, making them difficult to deal with.

So, he should settle this quickly!

He would take action personally to first eliminate this unstable factor.

Thinking of this.

Black spiritual power flickered within Duan Shen's body, and the phantom of some Spirit Beast appeared on him.

Then he flashed directly to Su Yun's vicinity, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

At this moment, he suddenly felt as if his entire body was frozen, as a wave of extreme cold Qi invaded his body.

"Not good!"

Duan Shen stopped his sneak attack and abruptly turned around.

He saw a Fairy holding an ice-blue spirit sword appear behind him, waving the spirit sword.

Instantly, a hundred-meter ice-blue Sword Qi was produced, containing a Sword Intent that could freeze everything, and it swept towards him.

"You... you are Luo Qingshuang!"

"Not good, how did someone from the Holy Land get here?"

Duan Shen instantly had the thought of fleeing.

He also knew about the matter of their Demon Shadow Sect attacking Luo Qingshuang previously.

Although he didn't participate, he had also learned about Luo Qingshuang's information.

If it wasn't a sneak attack, it was impossible for the people of their Demon Shadow Sect to defeat Luo Qingshuang.

So even if he was at the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer Realm, his prospects were grim.

"Demon Shadow Protection!"

Black spiritual light continuously surged from within Duan Shen's body.

Countless phantoms condensed in front of him into a giant shield dozens of meters wide.

He wanted to use this to block Luo Qingshuang's attack.

Even if it couldn't block it, it could buy him enough time to escape.

As for the ten thousand year snow crystal marrow, he didn't want it anymore.

Regarding those subordinates, he couldn't care less; saving his own life was more important.

Unfortunately, the idea was good, but reality was cruel.

The ice-blue Sword Qi directly shattered the giant shield and continued to attack towards Duan Shen.

"You forced me!"

Duan Shen gritted his teeth and took out a Medicinal Pill from his Storage Ring, swallowing it.

This was a Medicinal Pill that could temporarily increase one's cultivation, but it had massive side effects.

But now he couldn't even save his life.

Why care about side effects?

His Realm instantly rose, directly increasing from the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer to the Spirit Transformation First Layer.

Although he was a fake Nascent Soul Layer One Realm Cultivator.

But he was still not someone a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator could defeat.

"Demon Shadow Palm!"

Duan Shen struck out with a palm, and a nearly hundred-meter black giant palm collided with the ice-blue sword light.

A violent booming sound rang out.

The giant palm disappeared, but the ice-blue sword light, still half its original size, continued to sweep towards him.

"Damn it, is this the Holy Land's Genius?"

Duan Shen's face turned ugly, and he circulated his spiritual power once more.
