Heavenly Demon Stirs the Sundial, Divine Remains Twist Time and Space!

"Outer Demon?"

In an instant, He Shuchang saw through the origin of that shadow. He was not the only one; the others' thoughts stirred as well, and they discovered the clue.

All of them had condensed Literary Hearts. Their minds were clear and lucid, firmly guarding a single thought, and they would not easily be influenced by external things. Even if invaded by an Outer Demon, they would not fall into it.

However, the people here at this moment had no bodies. They were merely streams of consciousness, making it easier for an Outer Demon to invade their hearts. But...

That Outer Demon only revealed itself slightly before vanishing at once, blasted into nothingness by the aura of light radiating from all around.

Back when three gods had wreaked havoc in the Eastern Capital, Junior Chen and the other Grand Confucians and Grandmasters had stirred their thoughts within the Literary Pavilion, drawing upon the Force of Order to contend against them. Even the awakened Ancient Gods had been forced to retreat. This showed the majesty of Order's power.

At that time, the Grand Confucians had not drawn upon the Hundred Schools Aura, for when battling gods, one valued force over intent rather than debate. Now, the purpose of invoking the Hundred Schools Aura was not to kill Qiu Yan, but to gain something from the doctrine that led the tide.

But this did not mean that the Hundred Schools Aura lacked the Force of Order. When Qiu Yan had resisted the aura's assault earlier, he had also mobilized the Human Path Order. As the will of a doctrine advanced, it would secretly accord with a certain Order and thus receive its blessing.

Therefore, with no primary consciousness directing it, the Heart Demons appearing here could only disperse into everyone's consciousness
