Demon King Appears; Sword Slashes the Peach Blossoms
Skycloud Archipelago, Peachcloud Island.
The surging sea surface appeared somewhat murky, clearly indicating that it had just experienced a torrential downpour.
The Dark Cloud have not yet completely dispersed.
The peach blossoms on the island, however, appeared even more vibrant, each one blooming in a riot of colors.
As one high wall after another encloses the peach blossoms, it's as if a vibrant spring has been enclosed.
In front of a mountain villa, Yun Baixuan, all smiles, invited all the guests inside.
"Wu Chang of Blackcloud Stronghold congratulates Peachcloud Fairy on her fiftieth birthday banquet and hereby presents a second-grade Hundred Cloud Ginseng!"
"Cai Ming of Nineyao Island, congratulations to Peachcloud Fairy on her fiftieth birthday banquet! I hereby present a second-tier Thunder Attribute demon core!"
Congratulations were offered, and one cultivator after another entered.
"Thank you all for coming. We are having a peach blossom feast today, so please enjoy it!" Yun Baixuan greeted everyone at the entrance of the manor, a welcome sight after a long absence.
Many cultivators had never seen Yun Baixuan so kind before, and they marveled at his kindness as they took their seats at the peach blossom table in the Peachcloud Manor.
Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators sat down under the trees, while Purple Mansion cultivators had a special Peach Blossom Pavilion.
Today, the mountain resort has been carefully renovated, with bright red lanterns and auspicious colorful ribbons everywhere.
Beneath some peach trees, there are elegant peach blossom inscriptions and exquisite peach blossom paintings.
Grand, beautiful, and with an extraordinary artistic conception.
Even the peach blossoms would drift down gently with the Array, and then, carried by the breeze, they would appear extremely beautiful and graceful.
This type of peach tree is also known as the fragrant peach from overseas, and it has an intense peach aroma!
The cultivators who came were mostly not leaders of any powerful factions; rather, many were Rogue Cultivator.
"Master Baixuan, Peachcloud Fairy!" Jade Inquirer Adept also appeared.
As Jade Inquirer Adept appeared, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Jade Inquirer Adept has not appeared outside for a long time. Now that he has declared war on the Purplewood Sect, he has appeared on Peachcloud Island. Everyone felt a sense of unease.
After all, someone like Yun Baixuan doesn't value concubines very much.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Peachcloud Island is made to look like a paradise on earth.
But these are just some mundane methods; she doesn't even have a third-tier Spirit Vein. It would be absurd to say that such a concubine is valued.
"Master Jade Inquirer Adept of the Jade Chu Sect hereby presents a third-tier True Yang Heavenly Gang as a congratulatory gift to Peachcloud Fairy on her fiftieth birthday banquet!"
As soon as this voice was uttered, everyone was even more surprised. Some even discovered that there were two more cultivators in Spirit-Isolating Robe behind Jade Inquirer Adept!
The three of them entered and sat down at a stone table.
Everyone sensed a hint of murderous intent in the falling peach blossoms.
This made some cultivators regretful; this birthday banquet didn't seem like a good opportunity to curry favor.
Someone tried to send a telepathic message, only to discover that there was an Array outside the peach blossoms, isolating them from view.
This further diminished their enjoyment of drinking and appreciating flowers.
They simply couldn't find a reason to leave, so they could only gather together restlessly, deliberately moving towards the outer edge of the Array.
The birthday banquet was still going on, and more and more cultivators were arriving.
"Xu An of the Mystic Sword Pavilion congratulates Peachcloud Fairy on her fiftieth birthday and presents her with a third-grade Fire Attribute treasure Blazing Flame Fire Crystal!" At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator with a small mustache wearing a gray robe walked in.
Behind him followed several newly joined cultivators of the Mystic Sword Pavilion.
All of them carried broadswords on their backs.
They looked exceptionally fierce and menacing.
However, everyone knew perfectly well that these people were all newcomers to the Mystic Sword Pavilion.
Yun Baixuan also looked somewhat displeased.
The Mystic Sword Pavilion has many Purple Mansion, but the one who came was a Rogue Cultivator had only recently joined, which made a hint of displeasure flash in his eyes!
"Manager Xiao of the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce congratulates Peachcloud Fairy on her fiftieth birthday and presents a string of third-grade Purple Jade cherries!"
At that moment, a monk dressed in green robes also entered.
"Senior Yun, Peachcloud Fairy!" This Xiao, the steward, was not from the Purple Mansion, which caused Yun Baixuan's smile to freeze completely.
This made the Yun Family, who were familiar with the situation, secretly murmur among themselves.
Yun Baixuan is known for his strictness within the Yun Family.
It's clear now that he feels the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce didn't even send a Purple Mansion, which is a slap in the face.
Fortunately, Yun Baixuan did not immediately retaliate.
Instead, they continued to wait; by this time, there were not many cultivators left.
Although the peach blossoms were still vibrant, the sky had darkened considerably, and it seemed another spring rain was about to fall.
The entire Peach Blossom Manor became even more oppressive.
Just then, two figures slowly walked over from a distance.
These are the Purplewood Sect Leader and Supreme Elder that everyone has been waiting for.
"Sect Master Zi Chuan of the Purplewood Sect and Supreme Elder Purplewood Master of the Purplewood Sect Wood Sect congratulate Peachcloud Fairy on her fiftieth birthday and present her with two top-grade second-tier bells!"
The cheering cultivators were quite clever. Ye Jingyu and Ye Xuefan made no attempt to hide their intentions; they were here to cause trouble.
The two Yellow Bell were placed there.
This caused a knot in the hearts of many cultivators.
However, some people still hoped to make a bigger scene so that the Yun Family of Skycloud Island wouldn't need to be silenced.
As for the arrogant Purplewood Sect, in their view, once they were destroyed, they were gone.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, why aren't you welcoming me? You specifically asked me to come, are you preventing me from entering?" Ye Xuefan said.
His face remained perfectly calm, but the mocking tone, even without being explicitly stated, was enough to make Yun Baixuan darken.
"Of course you're welcome! I'll have Baili entertain you. With such a generous gift, you deserve a separate table!" Yun Baixuan waved his hand in return.
Yun Baili strode out of the Peach Blossom Forest grove.
"Brother, I'm here. I will definitely treat Fellow Daoist Zimu well!"
"Fellow Daoist Zimu, please come this way!" Yun Baili said respectfully, with a smile on his face.
To an ordinary person, it would seem as if they were going to treat Ye Jingyu and Ye Xuefan to a good meal.
Neither of them refused, and they walked inside without hesitation.
Finally, it landed in the middle of the Peach Blossom Forest, under the largest peach tree.
The peach blossoms have larger petals, and at a glance, they are indeed in full bloom.
However, when they landed in the center, neither tea nor spiritual fruit were served.
"This is a third-tier spiritual meal prepared separately for Fellow Daoist Zi. Please wait a moment!" Yun Baili said as Ye Xuefan looked over.
"It's alright, the main dishes are yet to come!" Ye Xuefan said meaningfully.
This prompted Yun Baili to give a forced, insincere snort.
The atmosphere on the field was peaceful.
Peachcloud Fairy began to offer her congratulations and gave a lengthy explanation. Then, a large group of female cultivators danced gracefully in the Peach Blossom Forest.
These female cultivators were all stunningly beautiful, and their light gauze clothing seemed so delicate that it could be torn apart by a breeze.
Charming and beautiful!
However, everyone present was glancing at Purplewood Master's table out of the corner of their eyes; none of them had any interest in watching the dance.
"Everyone, I am Yun Baixuan, the dao companion of Peachcloud Fairy. I thank you all for coming today, and I would like to offer you a toast!" Yun Baixuan said.
With that, he drank it down in one gulp.
Seeing this, the others also started drinking.
"Today, I have much to say, but the most important thing is that I want to ask the Purplewood Sect: do you have any evidence regarding the matter of Greenfish Island?" As soon as Yun Baixuan made this turn of events, everyone held their breath.
They knew the real issue was about to be addressed.
This is a scheme targeting the Purplewood Sect.
They were merely bystanders in this situation.
But no one harbored any illusions; once a powerful force launches its operation to silence witnesses, it will show no mercy.
When it's over, just say he was killed by the Evil Cultivator of the Purplewood Sect.
In the Cultivation World, it's not the evil Evil Cultivator, but rather the Evil Cultivator!
At this moment, Jade Inquirer Adept also walked to the side of Yun Baixuan.
"Fellow Daoist Zimu, the Jade Chu Sect and the Purplewood Sect have always been merely adversaries, but Fellow Daoist Zimu's sect has launched a surprise attack on Jade Jadeclear Island and Jadecold Island without any regard for right or wrong. This doesn't make sense!"
Jade Chu Sect had not resisted before, and was also here.
Now, Jade Chu Sect is completely on the side of righteousness.
Behind him, two cultivators also displayed the aura of the Purple Mansion, revealing that the Jade Chu Sect had a total of three Purple Mansion cultivators.
"Oh, are you sure you want to know why?" Ye Xuefan also stood up, asking with a hint of surprise.
As he Divine Sense up, he could sense many cultivators emerging from the Peachwood, clearly hidden Wood Attribute cultivators.
Now they've all appeared.
"Then we have to start with a giant tortoise!" Ye Xuefan said.
These words left all the cultivators somewhat bewildered.
They had no idea what Ye Xuefan meant by "turtle."
Seeing their puzzled looks, Ye Xuefan asked further:
"Since Tianyun is here, why don't you come out and take a look at the giant tortoise?" Ye Xuefan said coldly.
"Or is it that True Person Tianyun isn't afraid we are cultivators from the Eastern Heaven Sect or Haoyang Daoist Temple of the Lu Kingdom?" Ye Xuefan continued speaking unhurriedly.
After the Azure Cloud Sea Region is the Heavenly Horse Sea Region, and the neighboring cultivation kingdoms of the Heavenly Horse Sea Region are the Qi Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom.
These two cultivation kingdoms each have two Nascent Soul sects: the Sea-Controlling Sect and the Eastern Heaven Sect, which are located by the sea, and the Heavenly Water Sect and the Haoyang Daoist Temple, which are not located by the sea.
Upon Ye Xuefan's words, even Yun Baili and Yun Baixuan lost their composure.
If the Purplewood Sect truly comes from one of these Nascent Soul sects, then the trap set up on Skycloud Island was nothing but a joke.
In the end, they brought about their own destruction.
"Impossible! The Purplewood Sect and the previous Mu Family cultivators came from the same place. They weren't Nascent Soul forces, at most Golden Core Faction. But Golden Core Faction in the inland areas wouldn't be this cautious!" Jade Inquirer Adept stepped forward and spoke loudly.
As soon as these words were spoken, another figure emerged from the Peach Blossom Forest grove.
"Young friends from the Purplewood Sect, although today may be a misunderstanding, if you are old acquaintances of mine, then we can let it go. Although Tao Yun is at the Foundation Establishment, it is not something the Purplewood Sect can offer up!" Tianyun Yellow Bell soon as he appeared.
Immediately, fear appeared on everyone's faces.
Once the Golden Core cultivator unleashed his power, very few people on Peachcloud Island could escape.
Not to mention, there are very few Purple Mansion among Rogue Cultivator and small forces.
"I already said, we want to see the tortoise. Asking questions is too mundane. Everyone Spirit-Inquiring Talisman. What's the point of asking?" Ye Xuefan shook his head and patted his storage bracelet.
As soon as the storage bracelet was placed inside, a huge Vast Azure Turtle was revealed.
This Vast Azure Turtle is so big, it instantly became like a small mountain.
The enormous blue markings resembled giant pythons, while the massive tortoise head looked like a mountain god, inspiring awe.
"Do you think the Great Demon of the Purple Mansion can..." Tianyun sneered as he made his move.
However, before his Cloud Hand could land, the shell of the Vast Azure Turtle trembled, and countless figures and Spirit Beast appeared.
A Mountainbreaker sword was also unleashed in an instant.
It instantly shattered the cloud-like hand.
"Golden Core!" Tianyun was also stunned. He hadn't expected that a Golden Core cultivator would appear in the Purplewood Sect.
"Bai Xuan, form the formation!" Tianyun did not think he could suppress others of the same level just because he was a veteran Golden Core cultivator.
Especially since the other party was a Sword Cultivator.
He immediately began to speculate about the relative strengths of the Cultivation World Lu Kingdom and Qi Kingdom.
However, before the formation could be successfully completed, a gigantic Golden Giant Lizard appeared, taking over the entire sky.
And the entire island began to shake, with mountain peaks rising from the sea, forming a sea Mountain Prison.
The island is surrounded by Spirit Mountain on all sides!
The area was completely surrounded, with only the sky as an escape route.
But for Fourth Stage giant lizard, fleeing into the sky is practically escaping into its mouth!
But that wasn't all. To everyone's despair, four more tier-three Golden Lizard Great Demon, Tier-three Star-Eyed Iron Ape Demons, Tier-three Manflame Green Ox Demons, Tier-three Jade-Scale Flood Dragon Demons, Tier-three Golden Light Rhinoceros Demons, Tier-three Crimson Flame Fox Demons, and Tier-three Golden Falcon Demons appeared on the island...
A group of the Purple Mansion cultivators also appeared.
Among them, Ye Jingcheng and his three third-tier Spirit Beast seemed too ordinary at the moment, and their presence was somewhat hard to detect, after all, they were all at the early stage of the Purple Mansion.
At this moment, Ye Xuefan also took out over a thousand array flags and threw them in all directions.
The whole thing happened so fast.
That's absolutely stunning!
Even Tianyun was stunned for a moment, then his expression quickly turned bitter and fearful!
"Everyone, break the formation, split up and break through!" When Tianyun's face swept over Jade Inquirer Adept, he really wanted to twist Jade Inquirer Adept's head off!
Is this the highest level of the Purple Mansion power they mentioned?
Is this what they meant by "absolutely no connections"?
A fourth-tier peak demon king, more than two third-tier great demons, a sword cultivator, and four Purple Mansion cultivators with obviously terrifying killing intent.
This force, even within the Azure Cloud Alliance, is enough to control the strongest and wealthiest Heavenly Spirit Archipelago.
"Fellow Daoist, our Yun Family is willing to apologize..." Tianyun was extremely quick-witted.
He now possessed three Law Treasure.
While begging for mercy, he was also trying to save himself.
However, his Skycloud Sword, his natal magic Law Treasure, and the Cloud Tower, his Law Treasure, were both casually knocked away by a giant golden claw.
The next moment, a Thundercrash Sword slashed directly at Tianyun.
This sword strike was too fast, like Lightning Tribulation, giving Tianyun a feeling that he had no way to dodge it.
He threw out his remaining third-tier Hundred Beast Ring Law Treasure, in which a hundred kinds of Beast Soul danced and swirled in the air, creating a tremendous spectacle.
Before he became famous, it was this Hundred Beast Ring that had devoured the Divine Soul of countless cultivators.
However, with a single sweep of the sword, the beast ring fell to the ground, Tianyun had to throw out another Spirit Talisman to block the sword's power.
This made Tianyun extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would never have left Skycloud Island. At least there was Fourth Stage grand formation there. Now, he had completely become food for the enemy.
Despite his regret, he still wanted to escape!
Just as Tianyun was about to throw out Formation-Breaking Talisman, a golden figure quietly appeared behind him, and a huge golden spirit claw reached out to grab Tianyun.
Boom!
A suffocating feeling filled Tianyun's heart.
He unleashed his Secret Method with all his might, instantly producing countless streaks of blood-red light, and vanished into thin air.
However, even though Tianyun abandoned his Law Treasure to escape, the golden claws seemed to coalesce together in sync.
Boom!
A golden Mountain Prison formed instantly, Tianyun fell directly into the mountain.
This scene caused all the Yun Family cultivators to change their expressions drastically.
Even a Golden True Person, wielding all his Law Treasure and Secret Method, couldn't withstand three moves.
But with Tianyun instantly bound, how could they possibly escape!
Ye Jingcheng held the Heavenly River Pearl in one hand and the Azure Swan Sword in the other.
The Yun Family, led by Yun Baili, was routed and forced to flee.
Ye Haicheng and Ye Haihe were also suppressing Yun Baixuan.
As for the other Purple Mansion Demon Beast and Purple Mansion cultivators, they were besieged and exterminated.
"We beg for mercy! We beg for mercy! We're willing to become spies for the Purplewood Sect!"
"Yes, we have nothing to do with the Yun Family; we're just a small force!"
As soon as one person begged for mercy, everyone else followed suit.
After all, they saw no hope of survival. Had they known this would happen, they should have avoided the situation when Ye Xuecang said he wanted to see the turtles.
It's not absolutely necessary to see this turtle!
No matter how much they begged for mercy, the Ye Family's cultivators and Spirit Beast remained indifferent.
Even those from the Mystic Sword Pavilion and the deacons of the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce, kill them all!
Everyone must die today.
Moreover, both the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce and the Mystic Sword Pavilion were already prepared to sacrifice these people.
Otherwise, it means a core cultivator has arrived.
Even the delicate female cultivators and Peachcloud Fairy, who threw off her robes to reveal her alluring figure, were all killed by Ye Jingcheng with a few sword strikes!
This scene also caught the attention of Ye Xuefan was in control of the situation, and he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
The entire massacre proceeded extremely quickly!
Almost all the peach trees were destroyed.
In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that the cultivators perished even faster than the peach blossoms were destroyed!
