Slaying Yan Jin!
A majestic and chilling voice boomed through the void!
Layer upon layer of sound waves, channeled with spiritual energy, instantly swept across the entire Lingxiao Immortal City.
Before the words were even finished, the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art was activated with a roar!
The blood-gold Qi and Blood shot into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon!
Immediately afterwards, the Blood-Golden Dragon Armor engraved with mysterious dragon Dragon Pattern instantly covered his entire body, its scales shimmering with light and bursting forth with Heavenly Dragon!
Hold head high--!
With a dragon's roar that shattered the clouds, a blood-gold divine dragon Phantom coiled and coiled behind him, its dragon eyes like torches, looking down upon the entire city!
The unique aura of Spirit Transformation Venerable enveloped the entire Lingxiao Immortal City!
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the city looked up in astonishment at the figure that seemed like a god descending to earth, their eyes filled with awe and shock.
"The Venerable Blazing Firmament! It's the Venerable Blazing Firmament!"
"Hiss... This terrifying Qi and Blood and dragon might are simply terrifying!"
Why did the Venerable One specifically name the Southern Bright Flame Palace upon his appearance?
Could it be that the Southern Bright Flame Palace has offended this person?
"Let's go, let's go check out Fengyue Pavilion! Southern Bright Flame Palace is the dominant force in the Vermilion Bird Sea Domain, this is going to be a good show!"
As the saying goes, the more excitement one has, the more agitated the cultivators in the city became, with streaks of light flashing everywhere.
They all gathered in the void near the Fengyue Pavilion, holding their breath and becoming onlookers.
Meanwhile, the people of the Southern Bright Flame Palace, who were located in a VIP Guest Garden not far from the Fengyue Pavilion, were all deeply shaken.
Grass!
Taking attendance individually? Oh no!
The Supreme Elder Lu Yuan, the Saintess Nangong Qing, and the three accompanying Inner Sect Heavenly Talent all paled, a thought flashing through their minds:
Who offended the Zhang Family?
Yan Jin, who had just climbed up from the soft couch and hurriedly put on his robe, was pounding with excitement!
Had his disguise been discovered?
Impossible!
Even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage couldn't see through my disguise!
It must have been some bastard in the sect who was blind enough to offend the Zhang Family!
Yan Jin felt a chill run down his spine, but he suppressed the panic in his bones, shook off the woman beside him, and rushed out of the room!
Let's get through this first!
Lu Yuan and the others dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately transformed into several streaks of light and flew into the air.
They approached Zhang Xuanchen from several dozen feet away and bowed in unison:
"Lu Yuan of the Southern Bright Flame Palace, along with his disciples, pays respects to Venerable Blazing Firmament!"
Lu Yuan smiled broadly and cautiously probed:
"We wonder why Your Excellency summoned us here in such a special way...?"
However, before Lu Yuan could even finish speaking, Zhang Xuanchen made his move!
Buzz!
Zhang Xuanchen's brows twitched slightly, and the Starry Tower suddenly emerged from the void, hovering directly above Yan Jin's head.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of dazzling, almost tangible Star Chains shot out from the bottom of the tower!
With lightning speed, they tightly bound Yan Jin, sealing off every inch of his meridians.
Immediately afterwards, a square Star Boundary solidified from the void, completely trapping it inside!
All of this happened too fast; almost in the blink of an eye, Yan Jin became a prisoner.
His long-hidden Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation was completely useless at this moment!
Yan Jin was horrified!
"What are you doing!"
Its magical Law Power surged wildly, attempting to break free of its restraints.
However, within the chain barrier cast by the Sixth Stage Starry Tower, all struggles were like ants trying to shake a tree, unable to move an inch.
Knowing that a direct confrontation was hopeless, a flash of extremely venomous resentment crossed Yan Jin's eyes, but it was instantly concealed.
Then, feigning a wronged and indignant expression, he shouted at the top of his lungs at the surrounding cultivators:
"Your Excellency! What is the reason for this?!"
"Our Southern Bright Flame Palace traveled thousands of miles from the Vermilion Bird Sea Domain to congratulate our noble young master on his ascension to the throne, and prepared countless lavish gifts. Why have we ended up like this?!"
"I have never offended you, Venerable One. Is this the behavior of Spirit Transformation?"
Bullying others and doing whatever they want?!
"If the strong can slaughter the weak at will, then may I ask you, Venerable One, what difference is there between your Zhang Family and those Evil Demon sects who regard all living beings as worthless weeds?!"
These words, spoken with tears streaming down his face, were piercingly painful!
This instantly drew various expressions and whispers from the surrounding cultivators.
Lu Yuan's forehead was also covered in cold sweat. Although he was terrified of Zhang Xuanchen, as the Supreme Elder,
Preserving the sect's True Disciple and reputation was his duty, so he immediately steeled himself, stepped forward, and bowed, saying:
"Your Excellency, is there some misunderstanding?"
My Southern Bright Flame Palace has never offended any nobles. Although Yan Jin is arrogant, he would never dare to offend the Venerable One or the Zhang Family!
You..."
Zhang Xuanchen stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his expression cold and stern, looking down at the crowd below, each with their own thoughts.
He knew very well that with his current top-tier combat power at the Early-stage Spirit Transformation, even if he killed Yan Jin right now, no one present would dare to stop him, nor could anyone stop him.
But he was about to travel to the Central Land Immortal Continent, and if he were to kill True Disciple of the Southern Bright Flame Palace today without any explanation,
In the future, the Zhang Family will inevitably be branded as a tyrannical, bloodthirsty, and cruel cultivator, arousing hostility from all cultivators towards the Xuanxiao Zhang Clan.
Since the killing is to be carried out, then an irrefutable explanation must be given to the world.
By the way... I'd like to take this opportunity to advertise the Demon-Detecting Mirror -Slaying Mirror.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuanchen's gaze fell mockingly on Yan Jin, whose face was filled with grief and indignation.
A playful smile curved his lips.
"As expected of a remnant soul parasitized by High-Rank Demon Seed, its methods of distorting the truth and feigning weakness and pitifulness are truly masterful."
"If I didn't know your true nature, I would have been fooled by your demeanor."
Demon Seed?!
Upon hearing those two words, Yan Jin's pupils constricted sharply, and a monstrous wave surged through his heart!
We've been seen through?!
Impossible!
That's a high-level Heavenly Demon Concealment Technique, difficult even for Void Refinement cultivator to discern with their naked eyes and Divine Sense. How could Zhang Xuanchen possibly see it?!
We cannot admit it, absolutely we cannot acknowledge it!
Yan Jin suppressed his panic and retorted:
"What Demon Seed! What remnant soul! I don't understand a word you're saying!"
"The dignified Venerable Blazing Firmament, would you really accuse me of such a baseless Evil Demon crime just to kill a junior like me?"
Where is the evidence?
You claim I am Evil Demon, where is your proof?!
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly took out a Demon-Seeking Pearl from his Storage Ring.
He channeled his spiritual power, causing the Demon-Seeking Pearl to circle several times above Yan Jin's head, but the bead remained clear and flawless, without the slightest ripple of the dark energy that signifies Devil Qi.
Lu Yuan hurriedly held the Demon-Seeking Pearl in his hand and said urgently:
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
This is the Demon-Seeking Pearl obtained from the Zhang Family. If Yan Jin has Devil Qi within him, it's impossible for it to hide it!
How could he be...?
"Alright."
Zhang Xuanchen calmly raised his hand, interrupting Lu Yuan, and said in a composed tone:
"It is common knowledge that the Demon-Seeking Pearl can only find low-level or insane ordinary Demonized Creature."
To High-Rank Demon Seed who deliberately conceal their aura and are skilled at soul possession, this object is nothing more than a pile of useless waste stones.
This is a point that my Zhang Family emphasized during the auction, therefore the price is not expensive.
"But..."
Zhang Xuanchen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a palpable killing intent locked onto Yan Jin. He said in a deep voice:
"I have my own ways to make this beast reveal its true form!"
"Demon-Detecting Mirror, come out!"
The moment the words left his mouth, a whooshing sound rang out.
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhang Xuanchen unleashed a small, ancient mirror, about the size of a palm, shimmering with blue and white divine light and inscribed with Yin Yang runes along its edges. The mirror flew out and hovered above Yan Jin's head.
Zhang Xuanchen flicked his finger, and a stream of spiritual energy was precisely injected into the mirror.
Buzz--!
In an instant, the Demon-Detecting Mirror trembled, and a pure white, flawless Truth-Breaking Divine Light poured down like a waterfall, accurately enveloping Yan Jin!
"Ah!!
What's this!
Hot hot!
The moment the white light fell, Yan Jin, who had been complaining and blaming himself, suddenly let out a shrill, inhuman scream!
Under the pure white divine light, his disguise melted away as quickly as snow under the scorching sun!
Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of flesh tearing apart, jet-black demonic runes frantically crawled all over his face and body, and his originally fair skin was transformed into a hideous purplish-black Black Demon armor!
Click!
With a cracking sound, a pair of curved, hideous, Black Demon horns suddenly shot out from the sides of his head!
Boom!!
The overwhelming Devil Qi, so dense it was nauseating, could no longer be suppressed. It transformed into a torrent of Black Mist that surged wildly from every pore of his body, instantly turning the interior of the Star Boundary into a hellish inferno!
"Hiss--!!"
The entire city Dead Silence!
The next instant, the gasps of shock throughout the city turned into an uproar!
"Demon... Demonized! It really is Devil Creature!"
"Damn! This Yan Jin is actually a high-level Evil Demon parasite!"
They've been hiding in the city for so long!
"My goodness! If it weren't for the Venerable One's keen insight, the consequences would have been unimaginable if this demon had gone mad!"
"Thank you, Venerable Blazing Firmament, for saving my life! Your righteousness is truly boundless!"
"Heh, a bunch of idiots, that mirror is the real treasure, the one that deserves the most attention..."
Within the Southern Bright Flame Palace camp, the beautiful eyes of the Saintess Nangong Qing trembled violently!
Her pretty face was as pale as paper, her heart filled with lingering fear and shock.
"It's actually true... He really is a high-level Evil Demon who has been lurking in the sect for many years..."
Thinking of this, Nangong Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, and she felt a wave of fear.
No wonder Yan Jin's personality changed drastically after returning to the sect from the Starry Secret Realm; he became violent and lecherous...
It turns out he was possessed by Demon Seed!
The thought of spending her days and nights with this monster in human skin, even discussing philosophy with it, sent chills down her spine.
If Zhang Xuanchen hadn't suddenly intervened, the Southern Bright Flame Palace would likely have been silently devoured by this demon in the near future!
Shocked, Nangong Qing's gaze unconsciously fell on the Demon-Detecting Mirror in the air, which was emitting a soft white light.
"It can expose even High-Rank Demon Seed... My precious!"
