A Hasty Conclusion!

"Come on, you old man!"

"You like risking your life? I'll play along to the end!"

A fierce glint flashed in Shi Jian's eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced.

He abandoned all defenses, letting the suction pull him along, his massive body crashing down on Yan Qiu.

When he was less than three zhang away from Yan Qiu, Shi Jian suddenly stretched out his claws and gripped Yan Qiu's shoulders tightly, unleashing his thunderous rage once again!

"Lightning Explosion!"

Within Shi Jian's body, the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning poured out without reservation.

The five-zhang-tall Lightning Bear transformed into a gigantic thunder sun, gradually engulfing the blazing Lieyang!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Above the sky, it seemed as if a second blazing sun had risen.

The devastating lightning engulfed Yan Qiu's screams, and also swallowed the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Yun Du was thrown over by the shockwave in the distance, coughing up blood repeatedly, his eyes filled with horror.

This kind of reckless fighting style is simply insane!

The lightning gradually dissipated.

Shi Jian was panting heavily, with a deep burn on his chest that exposed the bone, and his once white fur was now charred black.

But between his claws, Yan Qiu was no longer recognizable as human.

Half of his body was torn apart by lightning, his aura was extremely weak, the light in his Dantian was dim and Lightless, and his Golden Core was covered with cracks.

"You old bastard, die!"

Shi Jian's eyes were icy cold. He raised his right claw high, and a blinding bolt of lightning condensed at his fingertip, piercing straight into Yan Qiu's skull.

At this critical moment...

"You beast, how dare you!"

A furious roar came from the extremely distant horizon. Before the sound had even faded, the sky was suddenly torn apart. A colossal hand, a hundred feet in size and formed from pure dark red flames, slammed down on Shi Jian with a terrifying pressure capable of crushing the heavens and earth!

Golden Core Middle Stage, Sect Master of the Fenghe Sect!

This pressure was too strong; it was so strong that even the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning surrounding Shi Jian was suppressed and unable to leave his body, demonstrating its terrifying divine might.

That giant hand not only wanted to save Yan Qiu, but also wanted to smash Shi Jian into a pulp with a single slap!

They attempted to wipe it out in one fell swoop!

Shi Jian gritted his teeth, amidst the roar of Frenzied Thunder, ready to fight to the death, activating the Demon Core within his body to withstand this earth-shattering blow.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious sword cry Yunxiao.

A wisp of Shan Yue energy, seemingly faint yet pure to the extreme, came from another direction, crossing the void.

The Shan Yue's aura transformed into a terrifying Sword-Ray, crashing down like Mount Tai, instantly annihilating the giant fiery hand...

"Hiss--"

Without a deafening explosion, the thousand-foot-long fiery hand was silently severed by the Shan Yue Sword-Ray, as if ice and snow were meeting the blazing sun.

Then the fire hand disintegrated into a rain of fire in mid-air.

An elderly man dressed in a brown Daoist robe, with white hair and beard, appeared before Yun Du without anyone noticing.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his face stern, his eyes seemingly containing the rise and fall of endless stars.

Supreme Purity Sect, True Person Luanyuan!

"Old Monster Mu, you've crossed the line."

"The Supreme Purity Sect stipulates that its subordinate sects must not fight or attack each other. Does that mean the Shangqing Sect doesn't exist?"

True Person Luanyuan's voice was calm, yet it resonated like a great bell, making the entire sky vibrate and its momentum was like a mountain range!

"Fellow Daoist Luanyuan, this bear demon is trying to kill my sect's vice sect leader."

"This enmity is irreconcilable, let alone the difference between humans and demons. Fellow Daoist Luan, does the sect truly intend to protect this beast?"

The sect leader of the Fenghe Sect spoke calmly. No matter how angry he was, he had to act subservient in front of the behemoth that was Supreme Purity Sect.

"If you're not skilled enough, you deserve to die."

"Yan Qiu's attack on the mountain and obstruction of the road created a deadly feud. This demonic bear's counterattack and revenge are matters of gratitude and resentment, and the Supreme Purity Sect naturally has no right to interfere."

True Person Luanyuan didn't even lift his eyelids, acting as if he were an enforcer of regulations.

"Take your Fenghe Sect members and go back."

"Let's leave it at that. As fellow forces under the Supreme Purity Sect, you should abide by the Supreme Purity Sect's rules."

Old Monster Mu did not appear. He remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.

A soft flame swept up the dying Yan Qiu and vanished into the horizon in an instant, clearly signifying that the matter had come to an end.

The world returned to deathly silence.

Upon seeing this, True Person Yun Du immediately stepped forward and bowed in respect:

"Many thanks to Fellow Luanyuan for saving us. White Cloud Temple will remember this kindness."

True Person Luanyuan glanced at him, but ignored Yun Du as well. He wasn't helping White Cloud Temple; he was simply upholding the rules of the Supreme Purity Sect.

He looks down on both sides!

He then turned around, his calm eyes, which seemed to see through everything, finally landing on Shi Jian...

Shi Jian felt a chill run down his spine, and his muscles tensed instantly.

He knew very well that the old monster in front of him was at least at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and might even have already entered the Golden Core Late Stage!

If that Shan Yue Sword-Ray had struck him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it!

Shi Jian suppressed his violent Yao Qi, his five-zhang-tall body rapidly shrinking to a size of about ten zhang, and respectfully lowered his head:

"Junior Shi Jian greets True Person Luanyuan."

True Person Luanyuan stared at him, his gaze revealing a hint of scrutiny.

With a somewhat complicated expression, he spoke slowly after a long pause.

"Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, Dao of Lightning Golden Core."

"I misjudged you back then. I never expected you, little bear, to have such good fortune. It's truly a cruel twist of fate."

"Indeed, the bloodline has mutated."

"They should have followed the path of the High Antiquity Demon Race, replacing their Root Bone. There was some fortuitous opportunity there, but unfortunately, they missed it..."

"Now, would you be willing to join my Supreme Purity?"

"How about establishing your own lineage and making it the guardian spirit beast of our sect?"
