Chapter 138

"Are you trying to commit suicide?!"

The Devil Creature was dumbfounded. As the most Devil Race of the three races, it had never seen such a bloodletting scene before!

Fu Fengyuan's lips were pale. He smeared the blood on his sword and smiled arrogantly, "You know nothing of the power of the Radiant Dragon Bloodline, Devil Creature, die quickly!"

The sword light pierced the blazing sun, dazzling and radiant.

"Aaaaaaah!"

As the Devil Creature screamed in agony, the black mist finally dissipated into the dazzling sword light.

As the black mist dissipated, the peach grove came into view once more.

Oh dear, there's really no escaping it now.

[Help! Someone, please!]

"Junior Sister!"

Hastily pressing down on the bleeding wound, Fu Fengyuan swiftly sped off in the direction from which Qiaoqiao's voice had come.

Deep in the peach grove.

Qiaoqiao shouted, "Wait! Someone's coming!"

"I can't wait any longer!"

"Little girl, don't even think about playing tricks!"

"No--"

"Prepare to die!"

The three demons unleashed their deadly attacks simultaneously, their Devil Qi blotting out the sky. The Teng Yaogui revealed a wicked smile, for this little girl was doomed to die today!

She waited to witness the vines piercing Qiaoqiao's heart and blood splattering like flowers, but instead felt a chill creeping over her, and the wound inflicted by the Remnant Snow returned with excruciating pain.

She looked down in astonishment, another sword wound appearing on her chest; this sword had pierced her Devil Heart with unparalleled precision.

His pupils dilated, and as he fell to the ground, a figure in snow-white robes and black hair came into view.

Amidst the screams of his comrades, the Teng Yaogui transformed into a wisp of green smoke.

... So, what Qiaoqiao said was true.

... So, it turns out that Immortal Venerable Wanghan Bai Fu, is so powerful.

"Master!"

In the peach grove, the thousands of sword lights slowly receded. The man in white helped his kneeling disciple to her feet, and his Spiritual Qi probed her entire body. Finding that she was unharmed, he finally felt relieved.

Qiaoqiao tugged at his sleeve, about to stand up, when the mist surged and another scene suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"The Immortality Pill has already caused a great disaster. The disciples of the immortal sects are filled with fear and panic. Everyone, please think of a solution!"

"Elder, you make it sound so easy. Disciples who take the Immortality Pill pill will turn into Devil Creature after they die. The Devil Creature will then seek new hosts. The hosts will die, but the Devil Creature are indestructible. Do you have any good solutions?"

"Am I... am I just supposed to watch my disciple die?"

"If this continues, Heavenly Secrets City will become a dead city!"

The atmosphere in the hall was tense and stagnant.

The powerful figures from all sects have gathered here to discuss countermeasures against the sudden spread of demonic calamity.

"If you hadn't been so indecisive and sealed off Envy Fish City back then, this calamity wouldn't have happened today!"

"There are not only cultivators in Envy Fish City, but also thousands of ordinary people. Don't you value their lives?"

"Just a mortal --"

"Everyone, now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong." Amidst the arguing, Song Wuya, seated at the head of the table, finally spoke. "Now that the demonic calamity is rampant, and disciples from various sects have gathered here for the sect competition, there is only one way to save Heavenly Secrets City."

Everyone turned to look at him simultaneously.

What method?

"We Immortal Venerable Wanghan to use the Protective Sword Formation to protect Heavenly Secrets City. Only in this way can we block the Devil Creature' path and protect the disciples' lives. Only then can we take action to eliminate the Devil Creature and end the demonic calamity."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Indeed, with the Celestial Venerable here, how can we fear the demonic calamity not being overcome!"

"The Protective Sword Formation is the number one sword formation in the world; only Immortal Venerable Wanghan can accomplish this!"

The crowd continued to murmur. Mu Liuyun glanced uneasily at Bai Fu and whispered, "This matter has nothing to do with our Flowing Cloud Sect. They caused this mess themselves, yet they want you to intervene. How shameless!"

Bai Fu:...

"Besides, Heavenly Secrets City is the largest city in Central Province. With such a large city, if you were to support the sword formation by yourself, wouldn't you be drained dry?"

"Bai Fu, they're trying to work you to death!" Mu Liuyun complained on his behalf. "If you're having trouble saying no, I'll help you refuse. I'm thick-skinned anyway."

Just as she was about to speak, Bing Yan, seated on the throne, said, "I heard that the Immortal Venerable's eldest disciple, Shen Ji, betrayed the sect and eloped with the witch. The matter of the Immortality Pill might be related to him, otherwise, how could the timing of this incident be so coincidental?"

"This is clearly an attempt to use the sect competition as an opportunity to annihilate the four sects and allow the Devil Race to dominate the three realms."

"Elder Bing is right."

"The Immortal Venerable also bears responsibility for producing such a disciple. In that case, he should contribute even more to Heavenly Secrets City."

"You're talking nonsense!" Mu Liuyun slammed her hand on the table in anger. "Shen Ji has fallen into demonic possession. If we encounter him, the Flowing Cloud Sect will clean house. You say he created the Immortality Pill, do you have any evidence? What nonsense are you spouting without any proof!"

"Sect Master Mu, you..." The Profound Heaven Sect's mustache twitched. This most beautiful woman in the world really did speak in a rather... vulgar way.

"Even if this matter has nothing to do with Shen Ji, what about the Immortal Venerable's third disciple?" another elder said quietly, "That woman, tormented by love, actually perished together with Hall Master Liu."

"Hall Master Liu is a genius alchemist of the Profound Heaven Sect. If he hadn't died, he might have been able to develop a formula for the Immortality Pill."

Speaking of this, the Profound Heaven Sect couldn't help but sigh.

"We have no problem with the Immortal Venerable, but his disciples are truly not to be admired."

"Wen Zhi cannot escape blame for Liu Xiu's death."

"You—" Mu Liuyun was so angry she felt like her liver was about to burst.

While it's true that a master has a responsibility to guide his disciples, Bai Fu was in seclusion when these things happened, so how can it be blamed on him!

Song Wuya's gaze darkened. He stepped down from his seat, lowered himself, and bowed deeply to Bai Fu, "I humbly request that the Immortal Venerable prioritize the greater good and protect Heavenly Secrets City!"

Seeing this, the other cultivators echoed, "We urge the Immortal Venerable to prioritize the greater good and protect Heavenly Secrets City!"
