Seize Him
"The Demon Race World has come to welcome Young Master Jiang and His Princess Mo Li."
A hollow voice echoed through the void.
Almost simultaneously, everyone looked at Jiang Lin and Mo Li.
Especially those who looked at Jiang Lin were filled with disbelief.
Why!
Why would the Demon Race World want this Flower-Picking Thief?
Although this Flower-Picking Thief is quite handsome and capable, was it really necessary to go to such lengths to rob him?
Oh! I understand!
Their real target was Mo Li, but to mislead others, they might as well kidnap Jiang Lin as well!
That's right! That must be it!
Perhaps because Wu Die had already given Mo Li a heads-up, Mo Li didn't seem particularly surprised by what the Demon Race World said. In fact, Mo Li didn't seem to care at all that he was the Demon Race World's target; his gaze was only on Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin was completely dumbfounded...
He was genuinely bewildered.
Although Wu Die coveted his body (which could help the Demon Race World gather Sword Dao Luck), Jiang Lin felt that he was not unique.
No matter which realm or Small World it is, no one is indispensable. For the Demon Race World, sooner or later a master of the sword path will emerge; it's just a matter of time.
Moreover, Jiang Lin always believed that his conversation with Wu Die that night was a private one.
Unexpectedly, the news has spread throughout the Demon Race World! Is this a sign that they are determined to possess me?
Jiang Lin felt inexplicably sought after, as if he were very capable...
Jiang Lin even felt a strange sense of pride:
[As expected of the protagonist, even the Demon Race World wants to take the world from him.]
However, what Jiang Lin didn't know was that in many people's minds, he had already been seen as an accessory.
"Sorry, I don't like moving around much, so I'm sorry to have troubled you all."
Facing the dark sky filled with demons, Jiang Lin spoke calmly, his sword aura undiminished.
Seeing Jiang Lin protecting Elder Sister Lin and Sister Chen Jia, Mo Li walked to Jiang Lin's side. "Mo Li won't leave!"
From the void, an aged voice remained calm as it spoke, "Perhaps this time, Young Master Jiang and His Princess Mo Li."
As soon as the words were spoken, a gigantic tongue appeared in the void, and that gigantic tongue swept towards Jiang Lin and Mo Li.
It looks a bit like a toad's tongue; it's disgusting to look at, but it seems quite flexible!
"Hmph! You old toad, just because I don't say anything, you think I, Mo Lu Guan shut you up?"
With a cold shout, Mo Lu Guan gripped the jet-black longsword Mo Chi and slashed down, cutting the giant tongue in two.
"A mere Dharma Aspect dares to cross continents and cause trouble at my Empty Spirit Sect! Do you think my Empty Spirit Sect is truly without anyone? I will make sure that none of you Demon Race World ever return!"
Mo Lu Guan reversed the blade and thrust the sword out once more!
The black sword energy had evolved into sword intent, sweeping into the sky like an endless stream of ink-black water. The afternoon sunlight was dimmed by this sword, and everyone seemed to be in Landscape Painting!
Mo Lu Guan's sword strike was meant to destroy the void on the horizon, leaving these Demon Race Cultivators with nowhere to bury their bodies!
But just as the enormous Mo Chi, as vast as a tidal wave, surged into the void, a giant butterfly flew into this Landscape Painting painting before that void.
This giant butterfly has six pairs of wings, a total of twelve wings. Apart from its body being black and white, each wing is a different color and has tassel patterns on it.
The tassel pattern extends from the tip to the tail of the butterfly wing, with each tassel curve undulating and overlapping, as if there is a beautiful eye in the center of the butterfly wing.
The Twelve Heavenly Eye Butterfly!
The fluttering of butterfly wings dissolved the Mo Chi Sword Qi into the air, and the sky brightened again. The mountains, rivers, demons, and people gradually regained their original colors.
As the silkworms emerge from their cocoons and the Twelve Heavenly Eye Butterfly are enveloped in silk-like threads, a stunningly beautiful and voluptuous woman stands in the air.
A long dress fluttered in the wind, and although she was smiling, there was an unsettling feeling about her.
The voluptuous woman looked at Mo Li, who was being tightly protected behind Jiang Lin, and then glanced at Jiang Lin again.
As if facing a formidable enemy, Lin Qingwan and Chen Jia both stood protectively in front of Jiang Lin.
All the cultivators in the Vast and Righteous World who had seen the Wu Die during the Lantern Festival were speechless with astonishment.
No one would have imagined that the woman on the River Heart Flower Boat that night was actually a member of the Demon Race World, and Twelve Heavenly Eye Butterfly at that!
"Immortal Realm!"
Mo Lu Guan's mind became focused. He never expected that there would be a Twelve Heavenly Eye Butterfly of the Immortal Realm in his own Empty Spirit City!
"Take it."
The Wu Die in the air looked directly at Jiang Lin and smiled as it spoke. Its voice carried far and wide, yet it seemed to be speaking only to him, with only him in its eyes.
As soon as Wu Die finished speaking, thousands of demons swooped down, their eyes filled with bloodlust!
"Disciples of the Xuejia Sect! Step forward to engage the enemy!"
"Where are the Gan Di Fist Sect Martial Warrior?!"
"Dragon Gate Sect's Cave Mansion Realm cultivators, follow your ancestor to slay demons!"
"You weaklings of the Joyful Union Sect, you're blocking my way!"
"Sword Sect disciples, heed my command! Release your Flying Sword!"
In a mere instant, the leaders and elders of each sect led their disciples forward to meet the enemy without the slightest hesitation.
For all cultivators, the other side had invaded their very doorstep. If they retreated now, what would become of Wutong Province's reputation? How could they maintain their standing in the Nine Continents afterward?
Some elders were even somewhat excited about the demon race's invasion!
What place best hones a person's character?
It's nothing but a battlefield!
However, for cultivators in the Vast and Righteous World, most of the conflicts are between sects, and bloody battles like this, filled with the dignity of cultivators in the Vast and Righteous World, are rare!
Moreover, because the teleportation spans an extremely long distance across two worlds, the other party can only teleport cultivators at the Jade Purity Realm at most, and the number is extremely limited!
Furthermore, with the added advantage of playing on home turf, the Heavenly Dao of Wutong Province ultimately favors the cultivators of our Vast and Righteous World!
This was a battle that couldn't be lost!
Some elders even deliberately relaxed their protection, just to give their disciples more opportunities to hone their skills!
Although some casualties are inevitable, the path of cultivation is never smooth sailing...
Various spells, sword energies, and formations dispersed in the air. Led by an elder, the Wutong Sword Sect formed a sword formation in the blink of an eye. Everyone cooperated perfectly, and every sword strike slashed down Demons from the Middle Five Realm.
Similarly, under the guidance of their senior sister, Shan Beibei, the Hailstone Sect's Yin Yang Technique Fish swam in the air and actually managed to achieve Xiao Xiao transformation of the world.
The Buddhist cultivator, led by Jing Ming, chanted sutras continuously, and golden lotuses floated and bloomed, landing on the monks.
The Martial Warrior of the Gan Di Fist Sect have a particular fondness for choosing enormous Demons to fight each other, where every punch lands with a visceral impact – that's the romance of men.
Wutong Province wanted to hone its cultivators through this experience, but wasn't the Demon Race World doing the same?
They never intended to bring all the Demons back; out of thousands of Demons, it would be good if one in ten survived.
