Li Xiangmo

After Li Songbai finished speaking, everyone looked incredulous, and some even doubted that they had heard correctly.

Even Huang Mengran, a disciple of the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower, had only just received the news and was equally shocked.

The Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower has always been subordinate to the Beichen Demon Kingdom, regarding the Primal Demon Temple as the leader of the Demonic Dao and accepting its arrangements and commands.

No one could have imagined that the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower would suddenly announce a change of allegiance, becoming entirely subordinate to the Baleful Demon Sect.

This is an act of treason!

"Senior Li, do you know what you're saying?"

Long Chen, who was as big as a bear, had just exchanged for a Fourth Rank "Tribulation-Crossing Pill". At this moment, he felt that the pill was extremely hot to handle and even suspected that there was something wrong with the pill.

He was usually a very eloquent person, but now he was stammering. "This, this matter, are you talking nonsense, or, or—"

Li Songbai remained calm and composed, slightly puffing out his chest, and said, "Your Sect Master, Jiang Xuanqi, will also learn of the news today from the Primal Demon Temple, the White Bone Dao, and the Ghost-Controlling Sect."

"Beigu City, Silverstone City, and Black-Iron City —these three cities under the jurisdiction of our sect—will be merged into the Frost Moon Demon Kingdom."

Not only does the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower intend to be merged into the Frost Moon Demon Kingdom, but it also plans to transform the human cities under their control into...

The city of the Frost Moon Demon Kingdom.

Long Chen found it ridiculous, but he couldn't laugh.

He simply glared at Li Songbai and said, "We, the Crippled Demon Sect, have traveled thousands of miles to help you resolve the threat of Evil Spirits invading. Our master Shi Wangsheng, ventured deep into the Qiongrang Realm to help you deal with the troubles, and this is how you repay us?"

The Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower's actions are nothing short of a case of crossing the river and then burning the bridge!

No, the river hasn't been crossed yet, and his Master Shi Wangsheng, hasn't returned.

Long Chen suddenly began to worry about Shi Wangsheng, feeling that Shi Wangsheng, who was trapped in the Qiongrang Realm, was likely to suffer some misfortune.

"One thing at a time, they should not be confused."

Li Songbai frowned, glanced at the "Tribulation-Crossing Pill" that he hadn't yet retrieved, and said, "It's your duty to slay Evil Spirits, and these pills—weren't they just distributed?"

"In addition!"

Li Songbai's gaze fell on the faces of the other members of the Crippled Demon Sect, and he said, "What we really want is not reinforcements from your Crippled Demon Sect, but rather for the Primal Demon Temple to send people over."

"We lost a Freedom Realm elder, and even if we replace him with Shi Wangsheng, it might not be enough to resolve the chaos in the Qiongrang Realm."

"The Primal Demon Temple remained unmoved, only sending your Crippled Demon Sect. They clearly don't value us!"

"How has the Primal Demon Temple treated us all these years? How have the other sects treated us?"

"Lin Ruonan, you are from the Lin Family of Beigu City, yet you clearly possess cultivation talent, but you are a disciple of Teng Kun of the Crippled Demon Sect."

There are many more people like you!

Li Songbai began to recount his various grievances about the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower.

Zhao Changfeng, who was shocked by this sudden turn of events, had already reunited with Lin Ruonan and Chen Jian, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Jian.

Chen Jian's sister is in Silverstone City, which means that Chen Jian should also be from Silverstone City. And since he is currently a disciple of the Ghost-Controlling Sect, he naturally made the same choice as Lin Ruonan.

It was Long Chen who spoke again, saying, "Most of the Demonic Dao Method Formula of your Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower require the use of sexual cultivation, so it's normal that some people are unwilling to go."

Chen Jian and Lin Ruonan nodded slightly.

"Further discussion is pointless."

Li Songbai was too lazy to explain further. More details involved their Sect Master and the master of the Primal Demon Temple, so he naturally couldn't reveal them in front of the younger generation.

He simply said, "We are committed to seeing things through. You helped us rid ourselves of Evil Spirits, and we have offered you the offerings as agreed."

"Once we reach the 'Tribulation Core' stage, we're even."

"From now on, let's keep to ourselves and leave each other alone. Please return as soon as possible."

"Next time you come to a city under our jurisdiction, please inform us beforehand to avoid any unpleasant conflicts."

The surviving members of the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower, seeing that things had come to this, all stood behind him, fearing that the Crippled Demon Sect members would resort to desperate measures.

However, some people definitely couldn't resist.

"My master is still in the Qiongrang Realm, how dare you abandon him after you've served your purpose!"

Long Chen roared and once again summoned the "Yanfuba Leng Hammer," displaying his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Three Calamities Realm.

The octagonal hammer flew straight towards Li Songbai.

He didn't even consider this person, who had destroyed the very foundation of the Demonic Dao path, a threat; he intended to kill him to intimidate the entire Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower.

Having betrayed their country and annexed its cities to the enemy, the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower is now an enemy of the Beichen Demon Kingdom!

His actions now are perfectly justified, and the Primal Demon Temple will surely credit him for the victory.

Knowing full well his terrifying combat prowess, the disciples of Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower instinctively shrank back upon seeing this domineering fellow's thunderous rage, secretly blaming Li Songbai for revealing this matter in public.

"You can't beat Long Chen anyway, can't you talk about it later? Why provoke him?"

Huang Mengran thought so too.

Li Songbai smiled calmly and said, "I knew it."

He didn't move an inch, nor did he unleash a single wisp of magic to fight back, letting the "Yanfuba Leng Hammer" smash down on him.

Behind him.

The man who had come with him from the beginning, not wearing the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower's attire but only simple coarse linen clothes, walked past him.

This man was unremarkable in appearance, short in stature, and had a dark complexion.

Extremely lacking in presence.

He looked to be in his early thirties. Standing behind Li Songbai, everyone assumed he was Li Songbai's follower, as he didn't exude any strong aura of flesh and blood.

When Zhao Changfeng exchanged the "Tribulation-Crossing Pill" earlier, he did not notice anything amiss and thought that he was a mortal who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.

However, it was this person who raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.

He slammed a punch into the overwhelming "Yanfuba Leng Hammer".

There was no terrifying aura emanating from him, and his fist didn't swell up to be overwhelming; he just threw a normal punch.

The eight beams of light that had been swept by the "Yanfuba Leng Hammer" were extinguished in an instant, and the Dragon and Phoenix, and mythical beasts on the surface of the beams all collapsed. The eight-sided hammer flew back towards Long Chen.

Like Long Chen's body flying backwards.

"Boom!"

Long Chen crashed heavily to the ground, blood flowing continuously from his mouth.

"Call out!"

Before anyone could react, the Brain-Devouring Snake beside Zhao Changfeng flew out like lightning and rushed straight towards the man.

A burst of emerald green Demon Flame blotted out the sky and enveloped the void above the man and Li Songbai, then crashed down like a curtain.

Thousands of flames danced in the air.

The Brain-Devouring Snake darted swiftly through the flames.

The man remained calm, and before the Demon Flame could land, he shot into the sky like a cannonball.

A series of thunderous booms, like metal being struck, echoed from the void. He repeatedly swung his fists, shattering the curtain of Demon Flame, extinguishing countless streams of fire, and sending the Brain-Devouring Snake crashing to the ground.

The Fifth Rank Brain-Devouring Snake, with combat power equivalent to the Six Tribulations Realm Great Cultivator, was no match for him.

The most terrifying thing is----

He didn't use Spirit Artifact from beginning to end, nor did he display any earth-shattering aura. His vast and domineering power was contained within him, without leaking out in the slightest.

Long Chen fell to the ground, the Brain-Devouring Snake fell to the ground, and no one from the Crippled Demon Sect dared to show their face again.

Zhao Changfeng's face was grim, and his eyes were cold.

He stared intently at the man, knowing that even with Chen Jian's help, they were no match. He simply memorized the man's face and physical characteristics.

He has a large nose, deep-set eyes, gray hair, and a short stature.

Who exactly is it?

"Recently, the outcasts in the Unordered Zone have been causing trouble frequently, and we are under considerable pressure as well. We really don't want to start a war with the Beichen Demon Kingdom and let those outcasts benefit for nothing."

"The Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower voluntarily merged into the Frost Moon Demon Kingdom and accepted the command of our Baleful Demon Sect; Non-Self."

"Right now, three elders of the Pill Cauldron Sect at the Freedom Realm have joined forces to venture deep into the Qiongrang Realm to help the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower solve the Qiongrang Realm's defense problems."

"As for me, I was originally prepared to deal with that War Beast, as well as two high-level Evil Spirits and Demon Race."

"The Primal Demon Temple refused to send its strongest members here, so our Baleful Demon Sect came to our aid immediately after receiving Sect Master's earnest request."

"Without our arrival and the arrival of the Pill Cauldron Sect, if the World Membrane guarded by the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower were to truly break down, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The man explained the advantages and disadvantages, then stood in mid-air in front of the fallen Long Chen and the Brain-Devouring Snake, saying, "Today, this ends here."

"If you still refuse to let this go after you return to your sect, I will not show mercy next time."

He has the power to kill everyone.

The reason they didn't push things to the extreme and instead left room for maneuver was probably because they didn't want to immediately ignite a full-scale war between the two countries.

"Who are you?"

Teng Ling, in the form of Brain-Devouring Snake, asked the question.

The man looked down at her and Long Chen, who had just gotten up from the ground, and said, "The Baleful Demon Sect, Li Xiangmo."

Long Chen originally wanted to call Lin Ruonan over so that she could try again with Teng Ling, but when he heard Lin Ruonan mention the name "Li Xiangmo," Long Chen immediately deflated.

Li Xiangmo, a disciple of the Baleful Demon Sect's Sect Master, is an unparalleled genius of the Frost Moon Demon Kingdom.

Upon entering the Primordial Spirit Realm, he condensed thirty Divine Sense, which is the pinnacle of Genius Rank Soul Refining Talent.

Both being Genius Rank, Qin Qingyao only had twenty-five Divine Sense when she was in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

In terms of Soul Refining Talent alone, he is the strongest in the entire Lingyao Realm. If he hadn't died, he would definitely have been the next Sect Master of the Baleful Demon Sect.

Now, he has reached the Great Perfection of the Six Tribulations Realm, and the next step will be the Freedom Realm.

He was actually quite a bit younger than Qin Qingyao.

"Senior Brother Long, the sect wants us to go back."

Fang Hong chuckled softly.

Unable to contact Shi Wangsheng, Long Chen was shocked to hear of the upheaval and immediately sent a message to his Master, Xie Guanlong. He learned that Xie Guanlong was in an urgent meeting with elders such as Jiang Xuanqi and had also received the news.

Jiang Xuanqi spoke, Xie Guanlong relayed the message, ordering them to return to the sect immediately.

"Long Chen, let's go back first. We'll meet again someday."

Teng Ling said softly.

Long Chen was in a bad mood. He slumped back into the "Heaven-Crossing Boat" and said to Li Xiangmo, "Talent doesn't mean everything."

Li Xiangmo remained expressionless and said calmly, "I'm younger than you, yet I'm already a whole realm above you. As long as I don't die, you'll never have a chance to surpass me."

Long Chen glared at him, but couldn't utter a word in rebuttal; his chest felt extremely tight.

"Ten years from now, I will travel to your sect and challenge your Elder Qin in front of the strongest beings in the entire Lingyao Realm."

5"

"At that time, my Master and the Lord of the Primal Demon Temple will both personally visit the Crippled Demon Sect."

"Long Chen, although you are older than me, you have never been worthy of being my opponent."

Li Xiangmo said earnestly.
