Disciples flowed like water; the sect stood firm as iron.

Disciples come and go, but the sect remains.

The Crippled Demon Sect.

Council Hall.

Sect Master Jiang Xuanqi and the Grand Elder gathered together.

"Sect Master, I've instructed Fang Hong to inform everyone to return to the sect immediately."

After sending the message, Xie Guanlong clutched a jade pendant in his hand, rubbing it repeatedly. His usually dignified and otherworldly demeanor softened slightly with impatience as he asked, "What did the Primal Demon Temple say?"

Everyone has received the message.

No one expected that just as the crisis in the Dim Swamp Forest was over and the situation in the Qiongrang Realm was still unclear, the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower would suddenly cause such a disaster.

Jiang Xuanqi frowned, his usually calm State of Mind now in turmoil.

Second Elder Lin Chenfeng sighed softly and said, "There are no outsiders here, so I'm not afraid to speak the truth. I can understand Zhu Yueying's decision to join the Baleful Demon Sect."

Everyone remained silent.

He continued, "Over the years, the Primal Demon Temple has selected the most talented disciples from all the cities first, and only after they have finished their selections do we get our turn."

"And we, along with the White Bone Dao and the Ghost-Controlling Sect, will absorb those talented individuals who should rightfully belong to the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower from Beigu City, Silverstone City, and Black-Iron City."

"For this reason, Zhu Yueying expressed her dissatisfaction to Palace Master Lu quite often, but Palace Master Lu ignored her."

"The reason why this is the case is obvious to everyone."

The group fell silent again.

Just as Lin Chenfeng was about to reveal the inside story, Jiang Xuanqi sharply warned, "Watch your words!"

Lin Chenfeng immediately stopped talking about anything related to Lu Chunfeng, the Lord of the Primal Demon Temple, and instead looked at Qin Qingyao opposite him, asking, "Ten years later, Li Xiangmo will come to my sect to fight you."

"This battle will determine the ultimate fate of the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower."

"If Li Xiangmo is defeated and ultimately dies at your hands, the Baleful Demon Sect agrees to return the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower's location."

Sects like the Crippled Demon Sect, with their treasured grounds, are situated beneath Spirit Vein nurtured by heaven and earth. They also imprison various strange beings and high-level Spirit Beast, along with some Righteous Dao remnants with considerable cultivation.

Only in such precious places can the Spirit Tower, the Blood Tower, and the Soul Tower controlled by Jiang Xuanqi be created.

With cultivation resources available, as long as one can find young men and women with cultivation talent, one can continuously create disciples.

From this, the Six Tribulations Realm and the Freedom Realm, possessing the level of an elder, emerge.

Although the sect suffered considerable losses on this mission, with many disciples at the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Three Calamities Realm dying, they were not overly worried.

This is because the Crippled Demon Sect controls this precious land.

Once a new Primordial Spirit Realm emerges, relying on those Spirit Tower to weather the storm for a decade or so, a new Three Calamities Realm will appear.

Those Primordial Spirit Realm Disciple, through rapid advancement in Devil Cultivation Method, might be able to break through to the Three Calamities Realm in three to five years.

Those who failed in the fierce competition, the old Primordial Spirit Realm and Three Calamities Realm died, and the sect had the resources to push new disciples to this realm.

Disciples come and go, but the sect remains constant.

As long as the sect remains intact and the resources at hand are firmly held, it is possible to cultivate new disciples in various realms with some effort.

For these Old Devil in the hall, only the death of a truly exceptional disciple could cause them pain and distress.

Even if Wu Qingfeng, Yang Jianqiu, Fang Hong died, it would hardly cause any emotional turmoil in them.

While Exceptional Level talent is quite remarkable, it will inevitably surface from time to time.

Only when Genius Rank disciple emerges will they be regarded as a treasure, and they will bet their entire fortune on cultivating such a disciple, willing to take a gamble on him.

Therefore, what the Beichen Demon Kingdom truly found unacceptable was not the betrayal of the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower.

Rather, it's the cultivation resources controlled by the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower!

To avoid a full-scale war between the two sides, the Baleful Demon Sect deliberately left an opening: if Qin Qingyao can defeat Li Xiangmo ten years from now, the Spirit Vein land owned by the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower will still be returned in full.

Jiang Xuanqi's body trembled slightly as he received Lu Chunfeng's telepathic message: "Palace Master Lu has agreed. Ten years from now, I hope you can reclaim that precious land of the sect."

Qin Qingyao's stunningly beautiful face remained completely expressionless as she calmly stated, "I will kill Li Xiangmo."

After saying that, she got up to leave.

"There's one more thing."

Jiang Xuanqi called her back, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "After your nephew went to the Primal Demon Temple, he displayed twenty-three Divine Sense, which is higher than Xu Lang's twenty-one."

"His appearance means that the Primal Demon Temple now has two Genius Rank Soul Refining prodigies weaker than you."

"Did you already know about Qin Hui's situation?"

These words shocked everyone, and they all looked at Qin Qingyao.

Qin Hui was her nephew, and he had already reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. The two had met many times, so she shouldn't be unaware of Qin Hui.

Amazing talent.

"I know."

Qin Qingyao nodded gently and said, "I invited him to my seat many times, but he remained by Shen Yanrong's side, tormented by love. After Shen Yanrong died in Tamu Town, I invited him again, but he insisted on going to the Primal Demon Temple."

After saying this, Qin Qingyao left.

The crowd inside the hall erupted in uproar.

No one expected that the Qin Household of the Beichen Demon Kingdom would produce two Genius Rank Soul Refining prodigies in succession, much to their great regret that Qin Hui ultimately entered the Primal Demon Temple.

Qin Hui has shown a higher Soul Refining Talent than Xu Lang. He will surely soar to great heights in the Primal Demon Temple and will be Qin Qingyao's strongest competitor in the future!

"The Qin Household is unstoppable!"

Xie Guanlong sighed.

Dim Swamp Forest.

One by one, the "Heaven-Crossing Boat" sailed away, and Long Chen never recovered.

Everyone could see his pride, which had been utterly trampled upon by Li Xiangmo. His Heart-Demon Obsession had likely been formed and would inevitably erupt when he attempted to break through to the Six Tribulations Realm.

Long Chen gazed at the gradually fading clouds, knowing that he would probably never be able to surpass Li Xiangmo in his lifetime.

His talent and abilities could only push him to the ranks of elders, at most like his Master, to become the Grand Elder of the Crippled Demon Sect one day.

His Freedom Realm was the Great Perfection of the Realm of Freedom.

Li Xiangmo was younger than him, but had already reached the Great Perfection of the Six Tribulations Realm.

Judging from his posture, Li Xiangmo will soon enter the Freedom Realm, and within ten years he will be qualified to challenge Qin Qingyao.

"This is truly despairing."

Long Chen's face showed bitterness.

"Ten years, and he personally came to the sect to challenge Qin Qingyao; this young man is indeed extraordinary."

Teng Ling, in the form of Brain-Devouring Snake, lay listlessly inside Zhao Changfeng's "Heaven-Crossing Boat."

She said softly, "If Elder Qin is defeated, the cultivation treasure land possessed by the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower will forever belong to Frost Moon Demon."

Country."

Zhao Changfeng and Chen Jian sat quietly, listening to her mutter all the way, their mood growing heavy.

"Having left the Dim Swamp Forest, I returned to the sect alone."

Chen Jian suddenly said.

He had injured his bones and muscles, but fortunately he obtained a Fourth Rank "Tribulation-Crossing Pill". At this moment, he was thinking about returning to the Ghost-Controlling Sect as soon as possible, first to heal his injuries and see if there was any possibility of breaking through to the Six Tribulations Realm.

Where is Senior Cui?

Zhao Changfeng asked.

What does he have to do with me?

Chen Jian's face was cold, and he frowned as he said, "I've already done what I promised him. Am I supposed to protect this troublesome obstacle for the rest of my life?"

Five days later.

Outside Beigu City.

With Teng Ling by his side, Zhao Changfeng encountered no further accidents along the way and arrived safely with Lin Ruonan.

Chen Jian left alone midway, only saying one sentence before he went, "Take care."

"Junior Brother Zhao, you've finally arrived! I knew you'd be alright!"

Qiu Ying strode forward and landed naturally on the Heaven-Crossing Boat, saying, "The Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower has betrayed the Demon Kingdom! They've driven us out of the city!"

Zhao Changfeng nodded. "I've heard the news too."

Zheng Tong to Lin Ruonan's boat, handed her a letter, and said, "Senior Sister Lin, your mother asked me to deliver this."

Lin Ruonan accepted it.

She looked down for a moment, her whole being enveloped in deep sorrow, and sat silently in the boat for a long time.

Her mother told her that from now on she was no longer a member of the Lin Family, and that she had been expelled by her biological father, Lin Yuanshan, simply because she had failed to protect Lin Yuan and Lin Feifei.

Furthermore, the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower has now joined the Frost Moon Demon Kingdom and become one of the Demon Dao Great Sect under the Baleful Demon Sect.

To avoid trouble, Lin Yuanshan decisively severed all ties with her and never acknowledged her as his daughter again.

The mother chose to stay by Lin Yuanshan's side and hoped that she would not go into the city to look for him, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for the Lin Family.

"Third Rank 'Tribulation-Crossing Pill' for each of you."

Zhao Changfeng took out a bottle of pills and distributed them to Zheng Tong and the others, saying with a smile, "Don't let my kindness go to waste!"

Qiu Ying and the other three were overjoyed.

They all possessed Eight Pieces Third Rank Fiend Crystal. They had assumed that after the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower betrayed the Demon Kingdom, it would never again distribute the "Tribulation-Crossing Pill" according to the rules. Unexpectedly, the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower did not break its promise.

They never expected that even without the Third Rank Fiend Crystal they possessed, Zhao Changfeng could still gather so many to exchange for pills.

"Just how many Evil Spirits have you killed?"

Zheng Tong asked curiously.

Zhao Changfeng grinned, his mood unaffected by the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Tower's actions, and said, "Not just the three of you, I've also collected Chen Jian's complete set!"

Cui Pinyuan shocked.

Zheng Tong and the others simply assumed that Chen Jian was at the Primordial Spirit Realm, only that his Yin Ghost was particularly powerful and extremely adept at escaping.

He knew Chen Jian's true cultivation level, so Chen Jian's "Tribulation-Crossing Pill" was of the Fourth Rank, which meant that the two of them had obtained Eight Pieces Fourth Rank Fiend Crystal.

"Senior Cui, Brother Chen has returned to the Ghost-Controlling Sect. Are you going to the Ghost-Controlling Sect to find him, or are you coming with me?"

Zhao Changfeng asked with a smile.

Cui Pinyuan related to him.

Previously, he lacked the power to consolidate his forces and was unable to resolve the backlash issues affecting Cui Pinyuan. Now, he intends to take Cui Pinyuan under his wing as well.

"I'll go with you! Of course I'll go with you!"

"Brother Zhao! From now on, just call me Old Cui!"

Cui Pinyuan in reverence.

He had witnessed firsthand how Zhao Changfeng treated Zheng Tong and the other two, and he considered Zhao Changfeng to be the ideal ruler in his eyes.

"Let's set off back to our clan!"

Zhao Changfeng piloted the "Heaven-Crossing Boat" and embarked on his journey home.

At this moment, he suddenly glanced at the grumpy Brain-Devouring Snake and asked with a smile, "Senior Sister Teng, how about I fight that Li Xiangmo in place of Elder Qin ten years from now?"

Teng Ling eyes flashed with an unusual light, transforming into a young girl's voice, which softly said, "Chang Feng, it's not that I, your senior sister, want to discourage you."

You won't reach the Freedom Realm in a year.

"Even if one reaches the Freedom Realm, Lu Chunfeng, the Palace Master of the Primal Demon Temple, would not allow it, because this battle concerns a precious cultivation ground."
