The matter of the True Demon Sect attacking the True Truth Demon Sect had already spread throughout the Dragon Country's Immortal Martial Realm.
The True Demon Sect's main forces arrived outside the True Truth Demon Sect's mountain gate and arrayed their troops.
The righteous path only wished to add fuel to the fire.
The Dao Sect and Buddhism combined their efforts to divine, and they divined the route of the True Demon Sect's logistics force heading to the True Truth Demon Sect.
Then they waited there to intercept.
The Five Great Sacred Lands, the Dao Sect, Buddhism, and a number of righteous sects and families, totaling two hundred people, blocked their path, fully prepared to add fuel to the fire.
"They're here!"
A group of people hid in the mountain forest below, and upon seeing the gloomy black clouds in the sky, someone suddenly shouted.
"Kill the demons and protect our righteous path, today is the day! Fellow Daoists, strike!"
"Four Dharma Arrows!"
"Star Cloud Dragon Roar!"
"Soaring Dragon Overlord Saber!"
"Minor Arhat Palm!"
"..."
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of magical attacks simultaneously struck towards the gloomy black clouds.
"Rumble!!!"
Terrifying explosions immediately resounded for dozens of miles around.
"They hit!"
"These demons must have suffered heavy casualties under such unreachable attacks!"
"Stay calm. If the True Demon Sect suffers heavy casualties, we will frame the Origin Demon Sect."
"Senior is absolutely right! Only by doing so can we cause internal strife and self-destruction within the demonic path, and our righteous path can reap the benefits."
The terrifying explosions stirred up vast waves of smoke that swept across the sky in all directions.
The next moment, a heart-palpitatingly terrifying aura erupted in the sky, and the vast smoke was instantly dispersed.
The hundreds of people from the True Demon Sect were unharmed, protected by a giant golden membrane, with a vast golden lotus phantom appearing below.
A slender man wearing a nine-dragon imperial robe, with a handsome and evil appearance, and a cold, vast, and unfathomable aura, stood at the forefront of the True Demon Sect's formation.
The righteous cultivators below were immediately stunned.
"Unharmed?"
"How is this possible!"
"Does the True Demon Sect have someone with such powerful strength?"
"It seems like one person resisted all of our magical attacks?"
"Hiss!"
"This is impossible. If that's the case, how high must this person's cultivation and combat power be?"
"Who is that person wearing the imperial robe?"
"..."
Chen Jiuyang's expression was indifferent, his eyes cold as he looked at the righteous cultivators below.
Fortunately, he had activated the Pure Lotus Sacred Fire in time. Otherwise, under the sneak attack of these righteous cultivators, he would have been unharmed, but the disciples and elders of the True Demon Sect behind him would have suffered considerable losses.
If they were to lose a large number of people to a sneak attack by the righteous path before the war with the True Truth Sect even began, then he, the Sect Master of the True Demon Sect, would become a laughingstock of both the righteous and demonic paths.
"Since they could ambush me, the True Demon Sect, here, it must be that the Dao Sect and Buddhism divined it. However, my luck is self-contained, and they could not divine it, so they did not calculate that I would be here."
"Therefore, they sent these cannon fodder..."
Chen Jiuyang's thoughts raced, and he had guessed most of the truth.
The disciples and elders of the True Demon Sect, upon discovering the righteous cultivators below, their faces instantly turned grim, and their auras were all hostile.
Su Yeyu, the Left Protector of the True Demon Sect, a Venerable Realm mighty figure from the Wen Su clan of the fifty-sixth lineage of the demonic path, who stood behind Chen Jiuyang, immediately cupped his fists and said, "Sect Master, please wait a moment. Allow us to eliminate these hypocritical cultivators."
Su Yeyu immediately requested to fight, and hundreds of people behind him seconded, but they did not make a fuss, their gazes fixed on Chen Jiuyang, awaiting the Sect Master's command.
"No need."
"It would be a waste of time for you to act. I will clear out these hypocritical cultivators myself, lest it interfere with the Great War between our Sacred Sect and the True Truth Sect."
Chen Jiuyang said indifferently.
"Yes, Sect Master." Su Yeyu immediately retreated.
Everyone's eyes shone brightly as they looked at Chen Jiuyang, awaiting the Sect Master's action.
"Swish."
Chen Jiuyang took a step forward, covering hundreds of meters. After cultivating the 'One Day Sunset Wutong' divine ability passed down by Princess Shile, his speed had increased significantly. Even in normal travel, his speed was extremely fast, and if he used the divine ability, it would be even more terrifying.
Chen Jiuyang slowly placed one hand on the scabbard and slowly drew his saber.
"Rumble!!!"
A vast and terrifying magical power aura erupted from Chen Jiuyang's body, with golden sacred fire and arcs of electricity flashing, and then a voice as indifferent as that of the God of Death sounded:
"Origin Dao—"
"Thunderous Fire Lotus!"
This move was created by Chen Jiuyang when he attained enlightenment in the Heavenly Realm, specifically designed to deal with the Martial Ranking competition. He had used it twice during the competition and once when facing an enemy later.
This was the fourth time he had used it.
However, such a terrifying and unparalleled move, even though it had only appeared in the world a few times, could leave a deep impression and be firmly remembered.
"This is!! the Yan Sheng Saber! Demon Qianyang's Origin Dao Thunderous Fire Lotus!"
"Not good! We've encountered the Sect Master of the True Demon Sect!"
"Damn it!! How is this possible! How could the Sect Master be within the True Demon Sect's logistics team!"
"We can't resist this move! Ah!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from below.
The terrifying Thunderous Fire Lotus directly engulfed these righteous cultivators.
"Demon! May you die a terrible death!"
"Demon, someone will avenge us!"
"Quickly send a message to inform the righteous seniors nearby to save us!"
"Hoo."
Chen Jiuyang felt the wisps of life essence flowing into his saber tip and let out a comfortable sigh. After entering the Venerable Realm, the life essence of ordinary cultivators was of little help to his cultivation, at most it could increase his lifespan and solidify his cultivation foundation.
He looked indifferently at the people screaming below, his eyes and expression unwavering.
They called themselves righteous, yet they resorted to sneak attacks.
This reminded him again of the incident three years ago when the Five Great Sacred Lands attacked the Azure Bamboo Spirit Domain.
The hundreds of people from the True Demon Sect behind him, seeing the hellish scene below, remained expressionless, their faces filled with awe, and their gazes towards Chen Jiuyang were full of reverence.
This was the Sect Master Qianyang's move, not a divine ability, but better than a divine ability.
"Swish!"
At this moment, a majestic and terrifying sword energy of cyan and white suddenly lit up the sky, arriving in an instant and severing Chen Jiuyang's Thunderous Fire Lotus.
The remaining righteous cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
"Hmm?" Chen Jiuyang's brows slightly raised: "Great Accomplishment Sword Intent, seemingly containing a trace of Sword Dao法则 (law). The righteous sword cultivators still have such masters, I have never heard of them."
A moment later, a figure in cyan light suddenly descended upon the scene, accompanied by a clear sword hum, suppressing the entire area.
One person and one sword, with clouds drifting from afar, truly resembled an immortal, inspiring awe.
Upon seeing who had arrived, Chen Jiuyang's expression froze: "It's actually you. I never expected to meet an old friend here."
Ye Tiannan, wearing the splendid robes of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, holding his long sword, looked at Chen Jiuyang, who was wearing the nine-dragon imperial robe, with a complex expression:
"Long time no see, Brother Qianyang."
