525: Chapter 525 Then let's use your heads to announce the triumphant return of the Joyful Union Sect.

The night wind howled, and murderous intent filled the air.

Outside the Tianyan Sect, a dense crowd of Cultivators surged in like a tide, surrounding the entire mountain gate so tightly not even a drop of water could pass through.

Under the moonlight, countless Magical Artifacts flashed with cold light, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and murderous intent soared into the sky.

Master Xuanming of the North Pole Ice Soul Palace stood at the very front, followed by hundreds of Ice Spirit Palace Disciples, wearing white Daoist robes, holding crystal-ice longswords, with cold air swirling around them, resembling a moving glacier under the moonlight.

The Sect Head of the Tianxuan Sect, the Sect Head of the Tianji Sect, and the Sect Head of the Tianquan Sect—each Sect Head of the Righteous Path Sects—arrived from all directions, bringing their respective Disciples.

Some flew on swords, some rode Spirit Beasts, and others traveled on flying ships; they were a vast, mighty force that blotted out the sky.

Shen Tianxing of the Tianshu Sword Sect walked at the very front, followed by hundreds of elite Disciples from the Tianshu Sword Sect.

A triumphant smile hung on his face, and his eyes glinted with the light of a successful conspiracy.

Beside him followed Grand Elder Zhou Yunhe, Second Elder Han Song, Third Elder Su Wanqing, and several other core Elders; each wore a grave expression, yet their eyes carried a hint of excitement.

Shen Biyun stood before the mountain gate of the Tianyan Sect, watching the surging Righteous Path Cultivators, a smile curling the corners of her mouth.

She looked back at Xu Ruyu and sneered, "Xu Ruyu, today, you cannot escape even with wings."

"Although my Tianyan Sect is not the strongest, by uniting so many Righteous Path Sects, even if your Hehuan Sect had three heads and six arms, you would still have to bow down to me."

Xu Ruyu did not look at her.

His gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Shen Tianxing.

Shen Tianxing walked up close and stopped.

His gaze swept over Xu Ruyu and landed on Xiao Nianyin, a flicker of wariness flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, we have gathered here today to eradicate these evil heretics of the Hehuan Sect."

"Old Ancestor Tian Jianzi died at the hands of Xu Ruyu, and Elder Zhao Qian also died at his hands."

"If we do not avenge this, my Tianshu Sword Sect swears not to be human!"

"These evil heretics deserve to be executed by everyone!"

Master Xuanming sneered, his voice as cold as ice: "Sect Leader Shen, your words are too polite."

"The Hehuan Sect has long been confusing the world with their techniques of male-female union; they should have been eradicated long ago."

"Today, my North Pole Ice Soul Palace is willing to be the vanguard and exterminate these evil heretics completely!"

"I, Master Xuanming, want to see just how much weight these so-called remnants of the Hehuan Sect actually have."

The Sect Head of the Tianxuan Sect also stepped out and said loudly, "Right! Eradicate the Hehuan Sect and return purity to the Cultivation World!"

"Xiao Nianyin, back then you relied on your Saint Realm Cultivation to act arrogantly, but now that your Cultivation is sealed, you are nothing but a cripple."

"If you are sensible, surrender, and perhaps we can leave your corpse intact!"

The Sect Head of the Tianji Sect chimed in, "That's right! Xiao Nianyin, weren't you very imposing back then?"

"Why aren't you speaking now? Your Disciples are all quite lovely; once we capture them later, they will be perfect as Cauldrons for this seat!"

The Sect Head of the Tianquan Sect also laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Well said! The female Disciples of the Hehuan Sect are famous for being supreme quality."

"We have not made this trip in vain today!"

For a time, the crowd was agitated, and murderous intent soared to the heavens.

Those Righteous Path Cultivators all wore expressions of greed, their eyes filled with lust and murderous intent.

They had no idea that Xiao Nianyin had already recovered her Cultivation, nor did they know she had already achieved a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm.

In their eyes, Xiao Nianyin was nothing but a cripple with sealed Cultivation, Xu Ruyu was just an ant at the Qi Refinement Stage, and the Hehuan Sect was just a group of stray dogs, ready to be slaughtered.

Master Xuanming stepped forward, pointed at Xiao Nianyin, and sneered: "Xiao Nianyin, weren't you very formidable back then? Why are you hiding behind a man now?"

"Can that lover of yours, Xu Ruyu, a piece of trash at the Qi Refinement Stage, protect you?"

"If you are sensible, kneel down obediently, and let this seat chop off your head to pay tribute to the Disciples of my Ice Spirit Palace who died!"

The Sect Head of the Tianxuan Sect also mocked, "Brother Xuanming, you are wrong there."

"Although Xiao Nianyin's Cultivation is sealed, that face of hers is still there."

"Why not take her back to be a Bed-warming maid for us? That would be making the best use of her!"

"Hahaha!"

A burst of raucous laughter erupted.

The people of the Hehuan Sect were trembling with rage.

Xu Ruyu stood in place, watching these clamoring Righteous Path Cultivators, a cold sneer curling the corners of his mouth.

He looked back at Xiao Nianyin and whispered: "It seems a battle today is unavoidable."

Xiao Nianyin nodded, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "They are just seeking death."

Xu Ruyu smiled, his expression full of heroic spirit: "Perfect, let us use the heads of these people to announce the return of our Hehuan Sect!"

"Let these so-called Righteous Path figures know whether our Hehuan Sect has fallen, or if we are rising strongly amidst their so-called encirclement."

He turned around to face the Righteous Path Cultivators, his voice not loud, yet it clearly entered everyone's ears: "Xiao Nianyin, do it. Let these fools, who have been misled by the Tianshu Sword Sect, see what kind of strength our Hehuan Sect has now."

Xiao Nianyin nodded, raised her hand, and opened her sleeve.

A silvery-white light surged from her sleeve, enveloping Leng Ningshuang, Zhao Yan, Ning Caihe, Qingyan, and all the Disciples of the Hehuan Sect.

Before those Disciples could react, they were swept up by that power, turning into streams of light that vanished into Xiao Nianyin's sleeve.

In the span of a single breath, more than three hundred Hehuan Sect Disciples all disappeared.

Only the Grand Elder, Hua Xunhuan, Granny Liu, and a few core Elders remained standing behind Xu Ruyu.

There was no fear on their faces, only the determination of a life-and-death battle.

Master Xuanming's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to a sneer: "Xiao Nianyin, do you think hiding them makes everything okay?"

"Once we kill you, they won't be able to escape either."

"Do you think this broken Sleeve Universe can stop so many of us?"

Xiao Nianyin looked at him without speaking.

Her gaze was as calm as water, but that chill made Master Xuanming feel a bit uneasy inside.

However, he quickly attributed this to an illusion—what threat could a cripple with sealed Cultivation possibly pose?
