On the other side.

At the Azure Stone Mountain, Ling Pengyun, who had just absorbed a breath of the Yin Yang Primordial Qi of early morning, noticed that the Clan Identity Token inscribed with the words "Peng Yun," which usually hung on his waist to indicate his identity, suddenly flashed with spiritual light.

Ling Pengyun was also encountering such a situation for the first time, and he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

"Are any members of your clan in danger within a thousand miles?"

Only when a member of the Ling Clan clan within a thousand miles encounters danger and crushes their own Clan Token to call for help will the identity tokens of other members of the Ling Clan clan within a thousand miles flash with such intense light.

Since the safety of his clansmen was at stake, Ling Pengyun dared not delay any longer. He quickly took off the Clan Token that was flashing with spiritual light from his waist, made a hand Hand Seals, and cast a special Law Seals that merged into the token.

Once the Law Seals merged into the token, the spiritual light on the token returned to normal, and it floated and flew south on its own.

Ling Pengyun looked at the token in front of him, observing its flight direction, and his brows furrowed immediately.

"Oh no, Tenth Sister!"

Azure Stone Mountain is located on the border of An Yang County, which is occupied by the Ling Clan. Hundreds of miles to the south, there is only one sacred mountain, Fruit Bee Ridge. If you go further south, you will leave An Yang County, leave the territory of the human race, and enter the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake.

Ling Pengyun waved his hand to retrieve the token that had been flying on its own. Then he took out the Green Travel Leaf, infused it with spiritual power, stepped onto it, and controlled the Green Travel Leaf to fly south towards the location of Fruit Bee Ridge.

Just as he flew away from Azure Stone Mountain, Ling Ruxian, who was stationed at the bottom of Azure Stone Lake, also rushed out of Azure Stone Lake, summoned his Immortal Spirit Crane, and rode on it.

Riding on Ling Ruxian Immortal Spirit Crane, Ling Ruxian saw that Ling Pengyun had also flown away from Azure Stone Mountain to follow the Clan Token to rescue Ling Penglin, who was in danger. He then met up with Ling Pengyun, who had just left Azure Stone Mountain by Green Travel Leaf, not far away.

"Peng Yun, get on my Immortal Spirit Crane." Ling Ruxian called out to Ling Pengyun.

Ling Pengyun nodded in agreement, said nothing more, lightly touched the Green Travel Leaf under his feet, and jumped onto the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane that Ling Ruxian was riding.

This late-stage Immortal Spirit Crane Qi Training Late Stage Immortal Crane is several times faster than the Green Travel Leaf beneath its feet.

The two rode together on Immortal Spirit Crane, flying south.

The two had only been flying on their Immortal Spirit Crane for about half a cup of tea's time when, as they passed through a small grove of trees, two black flying swords suddenly appeared, leaping out of the Lin Zhong and attacking them.

Ling Ruxian, whose Qi Training Completion of Qi Refining, reacted immediately. He quickly patted the Storage Bag hanging at his waist and summoned two cyan flying swords from it to meet the two black flying swords coming from below.

"Clang! Clang!" The four swords clashed in pairs, producing two metallic clangs.

The flying sword was blocked; there was no immediate danger.

At a height of several dozen feet, Ling Ruxian, riding on Immortal Spirit Crane, used his Aura Observation Technique to see two elderly cultivators dressed in black standing in the small dense forest below. He glanced at their faces.

He felt a slight sense of familiarity, and after thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly remembered the origins of the two people. His brows furrowed, and he murmured to himself.

"Han Yan, Liu Yi?"

Ling Pengyun, who was sitting on the Ling Ruxian Immortal Spirit Crane, showed a hint of surprise upon hearing the name Ling Ruxian called out, and thought to himself, "The Ghost Fiend Couple."

Han Yan and Liu Yi were notorious in Cloudwater County, where the Ling Clan family was originally a small Qi Refining Lineage. They were disciples of Old Devil Li, a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator who was attacked by five Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the five major Foundation Establishment Family in Huai River County not long ago. They had received the True Disciple of Old Devil Li Banner from the Ghost Shadow Sect, a Nascent Soul Great Sect sect.

Both of them were extremely powerful. Han Yan's cultivation level was as high as the Qi Training Completion stage. With just one weapon, the Hundred Ghost Banner, he had the feat of simultaneously killing two Qi Training Completion Righteous Path cultivators.

Although Liu Yi was a woman, she was a heroine among women. No fewer than five righteous cultivators who had reached the Righteous Path Qi Training Completion died at her hands.

In addition, Han Yan and Liu Yi are also a couple of Daoist lovers. Because of their infamous reputation, the Righteous Path cultivators of Cloudwater County also gave them a sinister name: "Ghost Fiend Couple".

Ling Ruxian, who was sitting on the same Immortal Spirit Crane, saw that the two people seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, ambushing him and Ling Pengyun. He immediately thought of the danger at Fruit Bee Ridge.

He lowered his head and spoke coldly to the two people who had suddenly appeared below.

"I never expected that you two didn't die in the Demon-Slaying Turmoil led by the Wen Clan. I suppose that's why you look like you're dying now. You're quite bold. Right now, Huai River County is cracking down on Devil Cultivator. Your master, Old Devil Li, is seriously injured. Even if something happens to you, he probably won't be able to help you. You were the ones who caused this incident at Fruit Bee Ridge, weren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yan, who was on the ground, sneered twice and spoke sharply, "My little tricks can't fool Ling Daoyou. As for my safety, you don't need to worry about my wife and me. Will my wife and I kill the Immortal Spirit Crane you ride and force you down, or will you descend to the ground yourself and fight my wife and me?"

As Devil Cultivator, Han Yan understood perfectly well that it was impossible to get a Lineage cultivator to give up the life of a junior. From the very beginning, Han Yan never thought he could scare Ling Ruxian and then kill Ling Pengyun to avenge his son.

Ling Ruxian snorted coldly, showing no fear, and turned his head to signal to Ling Pengyun behind him.

"Peng Yun, this cannot be resolved peacefully today. Go all out and prioritize your own safety."

After saying this, he patted the Storage Bag at his waist and summoned ten cyan flying swords from it. He then swung out the two flying swords he had previously thrown out, which hovered beside him, and pondered for a moment.

"Earthly Fiend Sword Formation!"

"Freeze!"

The twelve cyan flying swords trembled simultaneously, and a large amount of Sword Qi burst out from within their blades, condensing into a five-foot-long Sword-Ray at the tip of each sword.

As soon as the Sword-Ray was formed, Ling Ruxian launched the twelve flying swords towards the two Devil Cultivator on the ground below.

Han Yan and Li Yi, who were in the Lin Zhong, saw the twelve flying swords coming and both showed fear. They took out their signature Devil Artifact, the "Hundred Ghost Banner", and summoned a hundred evil ghosts from the banners to attack the Sword Formation composed of the twelve flying swords.

Afterwards, Han Yan and Li Yi, the couple, used the two black flying swords they had previously launched to attack the Immortal Spirit Crane cranes that Ling Ruxian and Ling Pengyun were riding, hoping to kill the cranes and force Immortal Spirit Crane Ling Ruxian to land on the ground.

Although the Immortal Spirit Crane is often used by Ling Ruxian as a means of transportation, its strength is not weak.

Seeing the two black swords coming at it, it immediately became angry. A crane's cry rang out from its beak, and with a flap of its wings, more than forty inch- Changbai feathers, conjured from Spiritual Qi, instantly condensed and met the two black flying swords head-on, temporarily blocking them and engaging them in a fierce battle.

Ling Pengyun, who was sitting on the Ling Ruxian Immortal Spirit Crane, was shocked to Ghost Fiend Couple had summoned nearly two hundred evil ghosts, all of whom were at least at the Qi Training Middle Stage. However, he felt even more disgusted.

"I wonder how many cultivators and mortals these Ghost Fiend Couple have killed by summoning so many powerful evil spirits."

After a moment of introspection, Ling Pengyun quickly regained his senses, patted the Storage Bag at his waist, and summoned the Black Iron Sword and the Gold Spirit Sword. At the same time, he made hand Hand Seals, Law Technique to condense a foot-long water arrow that attacked the Ghost Fiend Couple below.

The Gold Spirit Sword is a small golden sword obtained by killing Shen Hu, which Ling Pengyun named "Gold Spirit Sword".

The ability to multitask is a small trick Ling Pengyun learned during his study of the Earthly Fiend Swordplay Secret.

The Black Iron Sword, the Gold Spirit Sword, and the water arrow were all extremely fast, covering more than ten zhang in an instant.

But before these attacks could even get close to the Ghost Fiend Couple in the Lin Zhong, they were blocked by three Qi Training Middle Stage evil spirits that rushed out from the horde of evil spirits.

This made Ling Pengyun realize that if he didn't eliminate those evil spirits, killing the Ghost Fiend Couple would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Ling Pengyun had no choice but to change his target, focusing on activating the Black Iron Sword, the Gold Spirit Sword, and using the Water Arrow Technique to attack the three Qi Training Middle Stage Refining evil spirits blocking his attack.

Ling Pengyun, whose cultivation level was as high as the Qi Training Seventh Layer Refining, wielded two Law Artifact that were only of the First Rank Middle Grade, but their power was not weak. In addition, he continuously used the Water Arrow Technique to summon water arrows and fired them. In just a moment, Ling Pengyun directly dispersed a Qi Training Middle Stage evil spirit.

After achieving his goal, Ling Pengyun was slightly pleased and turned his attack on another Qi Training Middle Stage Refining evil spirit.
