"Go!"
"To Phoenix Perch Mountain!"
Ling Xiao looked at Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and spoke calmly.
He directly ignored the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Yan Chi, and the others.
"Excellent!"
Bhaisajyaguru Buddha nodded in reply.
In the blink of an eye!
Ling Xiao, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha, Dragon Subduing Arhat, and the others headed for Phoenix Perch Mountain, leaving only Yan Chi, Our Lady of Wudang, and the rest staring at one another with fear and shock on their faces!
"What should we do with the Eye of Heavenly Punishment?"
Our Lady of Golden Spirit looked toward the Nine Heavens. The Eye of Heavenly Punishment, woven from blood light and lightning, gazed down upon Yan Chi and the Golden-Winged Great Peng. Its cold, merciless laws continued to evolve, as though tribulation punishment would descend at any moment.
"The Heavenly Dao shackles upon the Phoenix Clan have reappeared. Fortunately, Junior Brother Golden-Winged Great Peng is protected by the fortune of the Demon Court and the Sect of Interception, which is why he did not suffer tribulation like Yan Chi."
"The Phoenix Clan can only be abandoned. Let Yan Chi fend for himself!"
Holy Mother Turtle Spirit said indifferently.
The moment her words fell, everyone was dumbfounded. They had not expected Holy Mother Turtle Spirit to be so decisive, without the slightest sympathy or pity.
In just a few words, she had sentenced Yan Chi to death.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled, and Dao Sound echoed.
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment flickered as Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, carrying endless murderous blood qi, descended from the depths of the void onto Yan Chi. In an instant, only violent energy erupted forth, sweeping across all of Lion Camel Ridge and reducing it to ashes.
The many Western Sect followers hurriedly retreated toward Mount Ling, afraid that the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the others would settle accounts with them.
"Grandmaster Yanchi has fallen..."
Kong Xuan witnessed this scene and muttered unwillingly.
No one present had expected that Yan Chi had merely used his pressure to intimidate Ling Xiao, only to draw the Eye of Heavenly Punishment upon himself and drag the entire Phoenix Clan into the abyss, never again able to break free of their shackles.
Their hard-won freedom had been buried by Yan Chi just like that!
"At worst, we'll sink the Primordial Wilderness..."
"Wangshu entered Phoenix Perch Mountain alone. She is courting death! Our Demon Court cannot lay a hand on Ling Xiao, but that does not mean she can act so arrogantly and recklessly!"
"Chaos Demon Gods deserve to die!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng's body trembled as he gritted his teeth.
Yan Chi, a mighty figure at the early Quasi-Sage stage, had perished just like that.
Everything was because of Ling Xiao's schemes!
This filled the Golden-Winged Great Peng with fear and made him even more wary of the Heavenly Dao. Only now did he understand that Ling Xiao's schemes were merely the fuse. The true root was that the Heavenly Dao wanted to trap the Phoenix Clan to death within South Sea Volcano.
Hatred surged in the Golden-Winged Great Peng's heart. He wanted nothing more than to tear open the heavens, drag out the source of the Heavenly Dao, and demand an explanation.
After wasting billions of years, had the Phoenix Clan still not repaid the karmic sins they had incurred during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation?
"Go to Phoenix Perch Mountain!"
Our Lady of Wudang's expression turned slightly solemn as she slowly addressed everyone.
Yet beneath her calm, beautiful face lay complicated emotions.
In the past, Ling Xiao had always stood before the Female Immortals of the Sect of Interception, helping them sort out the karmic sins within their primordial spirits and using pure, sacred radiance to help them comprehend the Great Dao.
But now, times had changed.
Ling Xiao had changed his heart and actually shared a Dao companion's fate with Wangshu.
Wangshu was a terrifying Chaos Demon God who had tried to stop Great God Pangu from creating heaven and earth!
The Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not tolerate the Phoenix Clan, yet they allowed Wangshu to wreak havoc between heaven and earth. Could it be that they, too, had been deceived by Ling Xiao's honeyed words?
At worst, sink the Primordial Land!
Wangshu had flown into a rage for Ling Xiao. How could she do this?
Phoenix Perch Mountain.
Coldness flickered within Wangshu's gentle eyes. She stood above the Nine Heavens, her smooth hair drifting lightly in the wind as boundless Lunar Dao laws froze time and space.
"Dao Friend Wangshu, what are you trying to do?"
"Ling Xiao joined forces with the Western Sect to kill our demon soldiers and generals, grinding the two demon kings, Qiushou Immortal and Lingya Immortal, to dust. Yan Chi has now fallen. What else do you want our Demon Court to do?"
"Do not push us too far just because you have reason on your side. Our Demon Court will not yield!"
Bai Ze wore a gray robe, his right hand clasped behind his back.
His gaze was calm as the aura of a peak Quasi-Sage swept outward. He did not take Wangshu seriously.
After all!
Wangshu was merely a mighty figure at the middle Golden Immortal of Hunyuan stage, while the Demon Court had numerous late-stage and peak Quasi-Sages overseeing it. Even with the foundation of a Chaos Demon God, she could not stir up much trouble.
"I cannot be bothered to waste words on you. You are unworthy to listen!"
"If you dare obstruct me, then those I kill will not be limited to the remnants of the Phoenix Clan..."
When Ling Xiao had gone to Lion Camel Ridge, he had already coordinated with Wangshu.
The reestablishment of the Demon Court was the result jointly promoted by Sect Master Tongtian and Nuwa. But as the Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance, Ling Xiao could not allow the Demon Court to run rampant and infringe upon the Heavenly Court's rightful authority.
Thus, he went with the flow and had Wangshu find an appropriate opportunity to turn Phoenix Perch Mountain upside down.
Now, Wangshu naturally would not retreat so easily.
As her words fell.
The Lunar Dao laws transformed into a torrent and swept toward Bai Ze.
Wangshu vanished!
The next instant!
Countless palaces and pavilions across Phoenix Perch Mountain collapsed. Figures exploded into bloody rain out of thin air, then were ground into powder by the Lunar Dao laws.
All the fallen living beings were early Quasi-Sage mighty figures of the Phoenix Clan.
They had relied on the Demon Court's fortune to break free of the Heavenly Dao shackles. Now, because of Yan Chi's foolish actions, their primordial spirits, True Spirits, and cultivation had once again been imprisoned by the rules of the Heavenly Dao. They did not even have the means to resist Wangshu.
Thus, a completely one-sided massacre began!
"Wangshu, how dare you?"
Several figures appeared out of thin air and prepared to besiege Wangshu.
Although Wangshu was a middle Golden Immortal of Hunyuan cultivator, her methods were endless. As Lunar power surged, streaks of Purple-Gold Radiance suddenly appeared.
"The Primordial Chaos Measuring Ruler kills without incurring karma. Not bad!"
Wangshu silently remarked to herself, but the divine abilities and laws in her hands did not stop.
During the Creation Calamity, Wangshu's Taiyin Divine Staff had been completely destroyed. Thus, Ling Xiao had temporarily given her the Primordial Chaos Measuring Ruler so she could unleash her ultimate combat strength.
Boom!
At the Peak of Phoenix Perch Mountain, the central palace collapsed.
Wangshu slew the last early Quasi-Sage mighty figure of the Phoenix Clan, then stood calmly in the air, allowing the Demon Court's mighty figures around her to surround her.
Her figure was graceful and cold, her face exquisite as jade, and her ink-black hair radiated chill. Beneath her feet bloomed dark blue spirit flowers condensed from Lunar Dao laws.
She stood apart from the world, peerlessly elegant!
"Wangshu, you are outrageous!"
"You killed dozens of early Quasi-Sage mighty figures of our Demon Court and nearly turned Phoenix Perch Mountain into ruins. You must give this emperor an explanation, or you will surely die."
"What Dao companion fate? I will make Ling Xiao experience the pain of losing his beloved!"
Lu Ya flew out from the collapsed palace, covered in dust.
His crimson-gold imperial robe was stained with dust, blood still flowed from the corner of his mouth, and cold light clung to his body as Lunar power continued to erode him.
When Wangshu slaughtered those Phoenix Clan mighty figures, the Lunar Dao laws she intentionally or unintentionally released had nearly killed him as well.
Lu Ya could not swallow this insult!
"Is that so?"
Ling Xiao's voice suddenly rang out.
The God-Slaying Spear became a streak of light and shot toward Lu Ya from afar.
Ancestor Kunpeng acted in time and knocked the God-Slaying Spear away. Otherwise, Lu Ya would likely have been seriously injured as well.
"Leave the rest to me!"
Ling Xiao landed before Wangshu and gently took her jade hand. Deep, doting radiance flickered in his eyes, while a warm smile hung on his face.
This sight left Wangshu stunned!
"If you need it, I can break through in an instant and then destroy the Demon Court!"
Wangshu raised her jade hand and tidied the hair beside Ling Xiao's ear.
Gentle and tender!
The killing intent and aloofness around her completely faded away. All she left Ling Xiao were her bright eyes like autumn waters and the gentle smile at the corner of her lips.
Beyond the horizon, Our Lady of Wudang and the others finally arrived.
The first thing they saw was Wangshu and Ling Xiao acting lovey-dovey.
Our Lady of Wudang, Our Lady of Golden Spirit, and Holy Mother Turtle Spirit all curled their lips. An uncomfortable feeling rose in their hearts, as though their own toy had been taken by someone else.
Anger and dissatisfaction welled up within them.
"Ling Xiao, you are truly vicious!"
"Dozens of ancestors of the Phoenix Clan were all killed by Wangshu at your instigation. I will fight you to the death!"
Kong Xuan felt as though his heart had been torn apart. He stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
Phoenix Perch Mountain had nearly become ruins, with traces of blood scattered everywhere. Kong Xuan sensed familiar auras within them—they belonged to the seniors who had taught him many secret arts of the Phoenix Clan not long ago.
Separated by life and death—the cruel reality.
Even Kong Xuan, peaceful by nature, could not help erupting in thunderous fury and risking his life against Ling Xiao!
