193: Chapter 193 The Three Demons Under the Moon, Xiao Zong Submits

Night. On the border of the Yan Kingdom, a chilling wind blew.

Qin Zhaoxue stood in the air, her smoky green gauze dress swaying slightly in the night wind, which still held traces of erosion qi.

With a light tap of her delicate hand, a stone monument engraved with profound runes descended steadily onto the Spiritual Vein node that had been surveyed below.

"The world-suppressing monument, complete!"

Within a radius of a thousand miles, the erosion qi immediately thinned significantly.

Immediately after, she took out an exquisite miniature jade tower, infused it with Spiritual Qi, and tossed it into the air.

The jade tower grew in the wind, transforming into a nine-story glazed pagoda. The tower body shimmered with flowing light, and invisible resonance ripples spread out, causing the Moonshadow Sect Disciples to instantly feel the blessing of an invisible power.

At this moment, they felt they could take on ten of their former selves!

Of course, this was merely an illusion brought about by the sudden surge in power.

Qin Zhaoxue scanned the area, her voice gentle.

"The world-suppressing monument has been placed. Within a radius of a thousand miles here, the erosion qi should be suppressible below the critical point."

"Now, begin setting up the Formation."

The Moonshadow Sect Disciples assisting below bowed to acknowledge the order and quickly began setting up the defensive Formation.

Du Yuqing stood slightly behind her to the side, wearing a black dress. Her chest was "flat and unremarkable," and the golden lotus mark on her forehead faintly shimmered in the dim night.

She stood with her arms crossed, scanning the desolate wilderness around her with a cold expression.

Suddenly, Qin Zhaoxue frowned slightly and looked into the distance.

"A violent conflict of spiritual power... the energy level is not high, only the Nascent Soul Stage, mixed with pure Devilish Qi."

With a flip of her palm, Qin Zhaoxue took out a map and unfurled it.

"Qingxi Sect, a small Sect."

Du Yuqing's gaze was sharp as lightning, instantly locking onto the marked point on the map. Her voice was cold and curt:

"Flies. I will go sweep them away."

"There is no need to trouble Junior Sister,"

Qin Zhaoxue's lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, and she turned her gaze to a young female Disciple standing respectfully behind her,

"Qianxue."

"This Disciple is here!"

Luo Qianxue immediately stepped forward. She was beautiful, her eyes clear yet containing the hidden light of the Five Elements circulating. Her Aura was revealed, reaching the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage (under the blessing of the Sect territory, originally the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage).

"There are demonic creatures disturbing the border ahead, three Nascent Soul demonic brats. Go, test your sword."

A high Battle Intent instantly ignited in Luo Qianxue's eyes, and she cupped her hands in agreement:

"Yes!"

Before the words had even faded, her figure had already transformed into a five-colored rainbow, breaking through the air.

Qin Zhaoxue and Du Yuqing exchanged a glance, tacitly transformed into streams of light, and followed, hovering far above the battlefield.

Pale moonlight spilled across the wilderness. Inside the small Sect called the "Qingxi Sect," the remaining dozens of Cultivators huddled within a crumbling defensive Formation, every one of them ashen-faced, their eyes filled with despair.

Outside the Formation, atop a small hill, thick, impenetrable Devilish Qi churned. Three inhuman, terrifying demonic shadows abruptly emerged from the darkness, perfectly blocking the lower half of the pale moon.

The demonic shadow on the left was covered in crimson scales, with lava-like luster flowing between the gaps of the scales, exuding a scorching and violent Aura.

It stood sideways, its strong right arm resting casually on its waist, while its left hand was bent and raised, fingers spread wide.

The central demonic shadow was bare-chested, its muscles knotted.

Its legs were crossed with the right leg in front, hands clenched into fists and braced against its waist and hips, head tilted high, empty eye sockets "gazing" at the remnants of the Qingxi Sect.

The demonic shadow on the right stood in a standard horse stance, arms crossed over its chest, wild as a Vicious Beast.

The three demons posed differently, yet they composed a scene full of primitive power, eerie coordination, and extreme pressure.

The moonlight was divided by their figures, and the huge shadows they cast completely swallowed the last bit of courage from the Qingxi Sect Disciples.

"It's over... these are Nascent Soul Demonic Lords... three of them..."

"That posture... is it some kind of evil sacrificial rite? So... so terrifying..."

"Elder, hasn't the Moonshadow Sect already arrived nearby? Why aren't they here?"

Desperate sobbing and the sound of chattering teeth filled the crumbling Formation.

Just as the minds of the Qingxi Sect Cultivators were about to collapse, a clear, sharp, and delicate shout tore through the dead silence.

"Demonic creatures, cease your arrogance! Luo Qianxue of the Moonshadow Sect is here!"

Five-colored rosy light descended from the sky, landing between the three demons and the crumbling Formation, revealing Luo Qianxue's figure.

The power of the Five Elements flowed naturally around her, forming a thin layer of five-colored halo, which actually faintly contended with the pressure emitted by the three demons!

"Moonshadow Sect?!" In the crumbling Formation, exclamations of disbelief and the wild joy of having escaped death immediately erupted.

"Hmph, courting death!"

The Fire Demon (left) was the first to be enraged and slammed its left palm down! Dark red demonic flames expanded, transforming into a ferocious, roaring lava demonic python that bit toward Luo Qianxue.

Luo Qianxue's eyes narrowed, her delicate hands formed a seal, and the Five Elements Spiritual Root within her body resonated instantly:

"Ren-Gui Profound Underworld, Heavy Water Condenses into Blades!"

The water vapor in the air was instantly drained and condensed in front of her into three deep black Profound Underworld heavy water arrows.

The arrows pierced through the air silently, stabbing into the lava demonic python's head and piercing through its seven-inch mark and tail.

"Sss—crack—!"

A piercing sound of evaporation rang out, and the demonic python quickly dimmed and disintegrated, forcibly annihilated by the Profound Underworld heavy water.

"A bit interesting!"

The Demonic Lord on the right saw this, and its arms, which were crossed over its chest, suddenly shook outward!

"Void-Splitting Soul-Shattering Blade!"

Countless terrifying wind blades covered Luo Qianxue from all directions like a torrential rain!

The speed was so fast that it was indistinguishable to the naked eye!

Luo Qianxue tapped her feet lightly, her figure advancing instead of retreating, her hands fluttering like butterflies:

"Geng Metal as Bone, Wu Earth as Prison! Kun Origin Traps the Void!"

The ground shook violently.

Sharp Geng Metal spikes instantly spread and erupted from beneath Luo Qianxue's feet, forming a moving forest of thorns that actively met the wind blades filling the sky, the clanging explosions endless.

The strange body of the central Demonic Lord, with its head tilted high and hands on its waist, suddenly erupted with demonic light. It stomped forward, its figure flashed, and its right hand struck like lightning toward Luo Qianxue's back.

The timing was vicious, and the angle was tricky!

Luo Qianxue's Five Elements Spiritual Root resonated violently, and the five-colored halo around her body suddenly shone brightly.

"Five Elements Cycle, Endless Growth!"

A layer of endlessly circulating divine protective light instantly condensed in the void behind her.

The pale demonic palm slammed heavily onto the five-colored divine light!

Luo Qianxue used the force to spin, a point of spiritual fire leaping from her fingertips.

"Li Fire Manifests, Southern Bright Sparrow Dance!"

A red spiritual sparrow formed from pure Southern Bright Li Fire let out a clear cry and counterattacked the Demonic Lord.

High above, Qin Zhaoxue and Du Yuqing watched quietly as the five-colored radiance collided violently with the Devilish Qi below, the light of the explosions illuminating their beautiful profiles.

"Qianxue's Five Elements Cycle has become increasingly rounded. By borrowing force, she is not falling behind even against three Nascent Soul Demonic Lords. Revered Master has taught her well."

Qin Zhaoxue's tone carried a hint of approval, but a different kind of light swirled in her eyes.

"Mm."

Du Yuqing responded with a dull grunt.

On the battlefield below, the five-colored radiance in Luo Qianxue's eyes flowed to the extreme and resonated with the resonance dao tower hovering in the distance, her Aura rising another notch.

She gave a clear shout, and her delicate hands suddenly closed together!

"Five Elements Unite, Divine Light Like a Prison!"

With her as the center, the red, yellow, cyan, white, and black five-colored divine light erupted with a roar, transforming into a five-element grinding mill that crushed everything, instantly completely enveloping a hundred zhang radius.

In an instant, the three demons were completely annihilated in the five-colored rotating divine light.

Qin Zhaoxue and Du Yuqing drifted down, like Fairies from the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal world.

The Qingxi Sect Sect Master hurried forward, his voice trembling with excitement:

"Thank you, two Fairies, for resolving the crisis of my Sect's destruction! The great kindness of the Moonshadow Sect, the Qingxi Sect will never forget for eternity!"

He looked with awe at the stone monument in the distance that radiated pure Dao charm, "May I ask, Fairy, is that divine monument... the world-suppressing monument that suppresses erosion qi?"

Qin Zhaoxue's gaze was calm:

"Do you not already have the answer?"

The Qingxi Sect Sect Master felt awkward and quickly nodded:

"Yes, yes, yes! The Immortal Sect's methods are heaven-defying; the erosion qi has indeed greatly diminished! With this divine monument here, we... finally have a chance to catch our breath!"

He took a deep breath, his expression turning solemn, and presented a storage ring and an ancient jade sword symbolizing the Sect's Legacy with both hands.

"According to the agreement, this is my Sect's tribute and token, willing to be offered entirely to the Moonshadow Sect! From this day forward, the Qingxi Sect, from top to bottom, is willing to become a vassal of the Moonshadow Sect, loyal forever, with absolutely no disloyalty!"

Qin Zhaoxue's gaze swept over the storage ring and the jade sword, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she lifted her delicate hand, accepting the two items.

"Good."
