Ancient Cloud Temple

No wonder Fang Zelin didn't make a move earlier; he was just dealing with the small fry down there.

It seems that Fellow Daoist Fang clearly knows how cautious this Demon King Wu is.

Therefore, they feign weakness by appearing weak to the enemy from below.

When the Demon King Wu finally revealed himself, he killed him without any hesitation.

At this moment, all the cultivators finally realized what was happening.

Everyone felt that Fang Zelin's behavior just now was to lure the Demon King Wu into a trap.

To deal with this Demon King Wu, Fellow Daoist Fang didn't even bother to lift a finger himself, simply letting the spirit sword behind him slay him.

"Who is this Fellow Daoist Fang?"

Those around them turned their attention to Qingyun, as they had never seen this fellow Fellow Daoist Fang before.

No one knows his origins or how he possesses such profound knowledge.

How come I've never heard of this before?

"I had a brief encounter with Fellow Daoist Fang several years ago and received some guidance from Fellow Daoist Fang. Later, Fellow Daoist Fang came to pay his respects and stayed at Jade Void Mountain for a while."

"I only know that Fellow Daoist Fang Wangqing Mountain; I know little else."

"However, everyone can rest assured that Fellow Daoist Fang is a highly respected person. There is no need to feel that he is difficult to get along with just because of Fellow Daoist Fang profound cultivation."

Qingyun briefly introduced Fang Zelin to everyone.

After hearing these words, the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun is right. To possess such cultivation, one must be of noble character. It seems we were being a bit too suspicious."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhong immediately spoke up.

The other cultivators all nodded in agreement, but when they glanced at the valley to the side, their hearts were still filled with turmoil.

This Fellow Daoist Fang possesses such power with just a spirit sword.

The depth of his cultivation is unimaginable.

"Let's go. It seems Fellow Daoist Fang isn't planning on coming up. Let's go down and have a chat."

After Qingyun finished speaking, she led the way down.

Seeing this, the other fellow cultivators also quickly descended in turn.

They were extremely curious about this fellow Fellow Daoist Fang.

Zhenke, who was standing next to Fang Zelin Fang Zelin, looked at him with eyes that seemed to sparkle with admiration.

I already knew that this senior had extremely high cultivation when I was at Jade Void Mountain.

I never knew how deep it was, but now that I've seen it, I have a vague understanding of it.

At the very least, the Demon King Wu and the other demon kings were all killed with a single sword strike.

That sword on your back, senior, is truly terrifying!

Before Zhenke could ask any questions, Qingyun and the others flew down one by one.

"I saw you dealing with some minor demons down here before, and I wondered why you were doing that. Now I think it must be because you already had a plan in mind."

Qingyun over, and before she even reached him, she bowed respectfully to Fang Zelin.

The other cultivators landed and bowed to Fang Zelin, their faces glowing.

They were proud that such a remarkable person had emerged from their generation of cultivators.

"We have met Fellow Daoist Fang. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Fang intervened, which allowed us to overcome this calamity."

"Yes, otherwise, who knows how many more cultivators of our generation would have perished in this war against Demon Cultivator."

Not many cultivators landed, but they all showed great respect for Fang Zelin.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin sighed, "Fellow Daoists, you are too kind. With so many fellow Daoists perishing this time, I, Fang, dare not take credit."

From what Fang Zelin himself just saw, nearly twenty cultivators had fallen.

Fang Zelin felt no joy at seeing so many cultivators die before his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the joy on the faces of the cultivators immediately faded somewhat.

He then sighed, "This time, we can consider it a victory. In the past, the number of cultivators who perished was far more than just one."

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Fang, please don't blame yourself. This is not your fault."

Compared to Fang Zelin, they were somewhat more accepting.

This is probably because they came down the mountain with the intention of dying.

Fang Zelin glanced at the fellow Daoists in front of him; there were fewer than ten of them.

"Master!"

"Master!"

When the disciples from the various mountains saw their master land, they immediately rushed forward.

Qingyun Daoist and the others glanced around and noticed that the number of their disciples had decreased significantly, causing their hearts to sink slightly.

"How many disciples have perished this time?"

"Reporting to Master, there are twenty-three disciples from Jade Void Mountain."

"The Ancient Cloud Temple has eighteen disciples."

"There are eleven disciples of Parasol Roost Cave."

Upon hearing the numbers mentioned by his disciples, Qingyun Daoist and the others' expressions darkened slightly.

I never imagined that so many disciples would perish.

The sect already had few disciples, and now, after such a great battle, the number has dwindled even further.

Thinking of this, everyone sighed.

"Look around. If the bodies of our fellow disciples are still there, take them back. If not, take their personal clothing with you."

In such a fierce battle, it is extremely rare for a body to remain intact.

They were basically all eaten clean by those demons.

"Yes!"

The disciples responded.

After responding, they didn't disperse; instead, they hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Qingyun found it strange. He glanced at the disciples and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Master."

At this moment, everyone hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but dared not.

"What exactly happened? Have you gotten into trouble?"

Seeing the disciples' expressions, Qingyun's face immediately darkened.

A sense of foreboding rose in his mind. Could it be that these disciples, relying on their cultivation levels, had committed some evil deeds while he was leading them down the mountain to exorcise demons?

If that's the case, then...

Upon thinking of this, Qingyun's heart sank.

"Explain!"

With worry in her heart, Qingyun was even more blunt at this moment.

"Ah, Fellow Qingyun, why be so strict? Even if the disciples have made mistakes, a little punishment is enough for minor offenses. Why be so harsh?"

"Yes, even cultivators like us have made mistakes, let alone these disciples."

Upon seeing this, the cultivators, including Daoist Zhong, quickly began to plead for mercy.

This great battle has already claimed so many disciples, and it's clear that they risked their lives to fight these demons.

Even if there are some minor mistakes, a little punishment should suffice.

"Master, this is not our matter, but Minglian's."

As he spoke, he gave up his seat, allowing a Daoist priest behind him to step forward.

"Junior brother, stop hiding behind others. If this matter isn't clarified and left to our master and uncles to decide, how will you handle things if things go wrong later?"
