433: Chapter 433!

White Rock Holy Land, the mountain gate shattered.

Fragments of spiritual light from the Nine Peaks Heaven-Sealing Array were still drifting in the air, while Yan Gang Demon Ancestor stood tall in mid-air.

He looked down at Ji Wujiu, who was kneeling at the very front, a playful smirk curling the corner of his lips.

"Welcome, Lord Demon Ancestor!"

Ji Wujiu prostrated himself on the ground, his voice sycophantic, "Lord Demon Ancestor is wise and mighty. Your descent upon this Holy Land saves us from fire and water! Your subordinate is willing to offer absolute loyalty and serve as a loyal hound for the Demon Ancestor!"

Yan Gang Demon Ancestor looked at the Grand Elder of the White Rock Holy Land prostrating before him, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.

With Ji Mitai as an example, he discovered that "human traitors" were simply too useful.

"Oh?"

He said indifferently, "What use are you?"

Hearing that there was a chance, Ji Wujiu's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he hurriedly said, "Your subordinate is intimately familiar with the Protective Sect Array of the White Rock Holy Land and knows exactly where its weak points are!"

Ji Mitai's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "Lord Demon Ancestor, with my help, the Protective Sect Array has already been completely destroyed by your casual strike! His meager skills are utterly useless!"

He had thought this reason was enough to cause Ji Wujiu to fall out of favor, but he saw a mocking smile curl the corner of Ji Wujiu's lips.

"Good!"

Yan Gang Demon Ancestor clapped his hands, "Then you shall stay. As for others who intend to surrender to my True Demon Realm... you shall handle them."

"Yes!"

Ji Wujiu kowtowed and, as he rose, cast a glance at Ji Mitai.

Foolish fellow, what do you know?

The Sect Master took two Supremes of the Moonshadow Sect out, and Yan Gang Demon Ancestor took advantage of the vulnerability; it must have been Ji Mitai who leaked the information.

And this Demon Ancestor clearly did not want to clash head-on with those Moonshadow Supremes, which is why he chose this moment to act.

This meant that Yan Gang Demon Ancestor could not stay here for long.

Once he goes back to gather sufficient combat power, he will inevitably return.

By then, someone familiar with the defenses of the White Rock Holy Land would have value.

Yan Gang Demon Ancestor's thoughts coincided with Ji Wujiu's. He indeed intended to first break the Holy Land, return to report and receive his reward, and then request higher-level combat forces.

And the Protective Sect Array of a Sect is not so easily replaced.

Even if it could be replaced, the power of a new array would be far inferior to the old one.

He withdrew his thoughts and cast his gaze into the distance.

There, several figures had not fled.

Shen Yunjie stood at the very front, her expression calm.

Behind her, the two Grand Elders, Supreme Elder Lu Yao and Supreme Elder Zhou Zhi, stood to her left and right, their auras steady.

Chi Wanhe, Qin Zhaoxue, Du Yuqing, Lu Changning, and Lin Xiwei stood side by side, their colorful dresses fluttering loudly in the demonic wind.

Yan Gang Demon Ancestor swept a glance at the Elders and Disciples retreating towards the depths of the Holy Land, but did not stop them.

In his eyes, those people were merely ants. Whether they could pass the Heavenly Demons under his command was up for debate, and even if they luckily escaped, they would ultimately face death.

Just as Shen Yunjie had expected, as long as they, the "higher-ups," remained here, the Demon Ancestor would not care about the low-level Cultivators at the Body Integration Stage.

Yan Gang Demon Ancestor's gaze fell upon the five women, including Chi Wanhe.

His voice was like thunder, "The five of you, mere ants at the Devil Emperor Realm, dare to dream of Heaven-Defying?"

"Absurd!"

Before the words faded, he raised his hand and gently threw a punch forward.

The momentum of the punch seemed casual, yet it contained the terrifying Law of Earth.

The fist shadow was like a mountain, blotting out the sky and sun, suppressing the five women below!

"Die."

Chi Wanhe's pupils constricted slightly, but she was not flustered at all.

She flipped her right hand, and the Dian Cang Xuan Talisman Brush appeared in her palm. The brush body was entirely translucent white, and the tip flowed with seven-colored spiritual light.

"Draw!"

She waved the brush rapidly in the void, and a golden Talisman instantly took shape, sticking onto that massive fist shadow.

The Talisman's light flared brilliantly, the fist shadow suddenly paused, and its downward suppressing momentum came to a halt!

Lin Xiwei struck at the same time. She raised her jade hand gently, and the Xuanji Talisman Formation Plate flew out from her sleeve, expanding against the wind and transforming into a massive Formation Plate that hovered beneath the fist shadow. The Formation Plate rotated, and countless formation patterns spread out like a spiderweb, firmly fixing the fist shadow in mid-air.

Qin Zhaoxue summoned the Nanming li huo cauldron, its body flowing with crimson light. She flicked her jade fingers, and two golden Medicinal Pills flew out from the cauldron, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, landing in the hands of Du Yuqing and Lu Changning respectively.

Du Yuqing and Lu Changning did not hesitate and swallowed the Medicinal Pills.

In an instant, the aura of the two at the fourth level of Undergoing Tribulation (under the blessing of the Small World Realm) soared once again.

Golden light emanated from within Du Yuqing and the other, winding and flowing across their skin.

Shining · Yu Qing! Shining · Changning!

Du Yuqing held the Pure World Green Lotus Array-Breaking Spear, green lotuses blooming on the spear shaft, and with a single thrust, the Great Dao of Force erupted! The spear tip, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, slammed fiercely into the fist shadow.

Lu Changning brought out all four of her immortal swords.

[Split Light] to form shadows, [Cloud Cutter] to slash the sky, [Flow Breaker] to break the waves, [Mountain-Suppressing] to suppress!

The four swords rang in unison, their Sword Intent reaching the heavens, slashing towards the fist shadow from four directions simultaneously!

"Boom——"

The fist shadow shattered in response!

Yan Gang Demon Ancestor's eyes brightened, and he let out a sound of surprise, "Hmm?"

"Just a moment ago they were at the Devil Emperor (Void Tempering) level, but now their auras have both risen to the Heavenly Demon (Undergoing Tribulation) level, and there is no sense of instability. By joining forces, they were actually able to block this strike of mine."

He recalled what Tai Huang had told him before, that the Moonshadow Sect Disciples possessed a secret technique that could briefly raise them by one major Realm.

It must be this.

But it is still just the Undergoing Tribulation Stage... no matter.

On the other side, Shen Yunjie and the others looked at this scene, their eyes full of shock.

"They... really blocked it?"

She murmured, "So this sparring was really just sparring?"

Supreme Elder Lu Yao took a deep breath, her gaze complex, "The Moonshadow Sect... just how many trump cards do they still have hidden?"

Supreme Elder Zhou Zhi shook her head slightly and said softly, "It's not a trump card; this is perhaps their true strength."

She swept her gaze across the scene around them; every Moonshadow Sect Elder and Disciple was still handling opponents who were an entire major Realm higher than them with ease.

Those Moonshadow Sect Elders and Disciples at the Void Tempering or even only the Body Integration Stage were directly engaging the Heavenly Demons (Undergoing Tribulation) of the True Demon Army, helping Cen Xi and Jiang Shiyu lead the Disciples to escape towards the White Rock Holy Mountain.

"For the Moonshadow Sect Elders and Disciples, crossing two major Realms to wage a reverse crusade is perhaps the norm..."

Those Disciples who had originally been fleeing in all directions were already astonished by the monstrous combat power of the Moonshadow Sect Elders and Disciples, and upon sensing this strike, they couldn't help but stop and look back.

This scene made their entire bodies freeze.

In some, hope ignited in their eyes; some were still hesitant; more were simply dumbfounded.

"Can they... win?"

"That is a Demon Ancestor at the Mahayana Stage..."

"But they really blocked it..."

Ji Mitai's expression, however, was very ugly. He looked at those five figures, and a wave of unease surged in his heart.

After raising a major Realm, they can still fight across Realms?!

What kind of monsters are these Personal Disciples of the Moonshadow Sect?!

Ji Wujiu narrowed his eyes; he remembered bad memories, but quickly sneered.

So what if you blocked one strike? It's just a death struggle. You barely blocked one strike with all your might; can you block the next one?

Lu Changning touched the hairpin on her head; it was one of the life-saving trump cards Ling Hao had given her.

She looked at Chi Wanhe and asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister... should we use the trump card Revered Master gave us?"

Chi Wanhe turned back, blinked at her, and smiled coquettishly and ostentatiously, "If Revered Master were here, he would press him to death with a single finger; do you believe me, Fourth Junior Sister?"

Lu Changning nodded without hesitation, "I believe it."

"So— —"

Chi Wanhe turned back, the Dian Cang Xuan Talisman Brush in her hand spinning nimbly between her fingers, her gaze sweeping over her four Junior Sisters, "The five of us together, even if we can't compare to one of Revered Master's fingers, should be able to kill this guy who is only at the third level of Mahayana, right?"

A sly smile flashed in her eyes, and she transmitted her voice.

'If we join forces and defeat this so-called Demon Ancestor, it will definitely startle Revered Master. By then, we can make Revered Master properly... hmm-hm?'

'In the past, whenever we talked back, Revered Master would always go straight to stick-and-carrot education; next time, let's have Revered Master, the old man, verbally educate us first, instead of being so quick to use violence...'

Qin Zhaoxue looked thoughtful, her lips curling slightly.

Du Yuqing was expressionless, but her hand gripping the spear tightened a little.

Lu Changning blinked and whispered, "Will... Revered Master agree?"

On Lin Xiwei's usually cold face, a hint of being moved also appeared.

Chi Wanhe affirmed, "Revered Master will agree."

Seeing that her Junior Sisters were all eager to move, Chi Wanhe's lips curled up, and she spoke again.

"When the time comes, whoever lands the final blow to kill this Demon Ancestor will be the first..."

Qin Zhaoxue, Du Yuqing, Lu Changning, Lin Xiwei: ! , ! , ! , ! .

The four women looked at Yan Gang Demon Ancestor, their eyes igniting with intense Battle Intent.
