Even their leader was left in front of the Qingyun Sect members; how could the remaining Blood Refining Hall disciples dare to resist?
Some turned and ran, but were blocked by Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame.
The righteous disciples from the Qingyun Sect and Incense Valley followed closely behind, dealing with these small fry one by one.
Some tried to fight to the death, but Shi Hao easily knocked them to the ground.
In a short while, the group of demons were either captured or killed, and they were routed, with only a few scattered individuals remaining, some fleeing and others running away.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Lin Yu turned to exchange glances with Xiao Yan, Su Xiaoxiao, and the others. Without needing to say anything, they all understood that the next step was to search for the Tome of Heaven.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't forget to take out the Chat Group panel and tag Lu Xueqi in it.
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Xueqi, come quick, we're going to the Blooddrip Cave.]
Lu Xueqi sheathed her sword, her gaze sweeping over the mess on the ground. She was filled with emotion. According to the original plot in the Chat Group, dealing with these demonic disciples should have cost them something, but with Lin Yu and the others' help, they had resolved the situation so easily.
She looked at her friends on the edge of the cliff, then glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, who was still in a daze.
He paused.
In the end, he went over, grabbed Zhang Xiaofan by the collar, and without saying a word, dragged him toward the edge of the cliff.
"Senior Sister?" Zhang Xiaofan stumbled as he was pulled, his face full of confusion.
Where are we going?
Lu Xueqi didn't turn around, only saying calmly, "Just follow."
Lin Yu glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, who had been pulled over, a knowing look flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more.
After all, this Tome of Heaven was originally Zhang Xiaofan's opportunity, and Lu Xueqi might feel guilty if she didn't take him with her.
Since the Tome of Heaven doesn't limit the number of viewers, one more Zhang Xiaofan won't make a difference.
He was the first to leap off the cliff, followed closely by Xiao Yan, Shi Hao, and others. Lu Xueqi, pulling the still-dazed Zhang Xiaofan along, also jumped off.
"Junior Sister Lu, Xiaofan! Are you crazy? Why are you jumping off a cliff?" Zeng Shushu, who noticed the scene, changed her expression drastically and hurriedly shouted to stop them.
Unfortunately, they could only watch helplessly as people jumped one by one.
"Junior Brother Zeng, don't worry. Xiaofan must have had their reasons for jumping down. Let's hand these demonic cultivators over to the sect first, and then go down to search for them."
Qi Hao pulled Zeng Shushu back, who was also about to jump.
Now is not the time for them to jump off the cliff together; there are still many Demonic Sect cultivators around them waiting to be dealt with.
If we keep losing staff, they'll all run away.
Under the cliff
A chilling wind howled through the Necropolis, and the cliff walls were covered with curses carved by generations of the Demonic Sect cultivators. Despite the erosion of time, they still exuded a sinister aura.
Over time, it has become a place where yin energy gathers and demons gather, which has resulted in an endless ghostly aura permeating the area year-round.
In the darkness below, countless translucent spirits drifted around; they were all dead souls who lingered in the mortal realm and were unwilling to leave.
Upon sensing the presence of Lin Yu and his group, they pounced on them like sharks smelling blood.
"Watch out!" Zhang Xiaofan gripped the Fire Stick tightly, watching the surging Yin spirits warily, ready to act at any moment.
Looking at the countless spirits filling the sky, Zhang Sanfeng sighed helplessly, "The world of cultivation is indeed fraught with danger. We've just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another."
Lin Yu remained calm, flipped his hand, and a golden bead appeared in his palm.
He raised his hand and tossed the Demon-Subduing Pearl into the air. Golden light burst forth, and a ten-foot-tall phantom of a Bodhisattva slowly emerged. The Bodhisattva's face resembled both a Buddha and a demon, and a faint golden light surrounded his body.
"Amitabha--"
A Buddhist chant rang out, echoing like thunder in the Necropolis. The approaching undead were instantly burned as if by raging fire, letting out shrill screams as their bodies turned into specks of ghostly light, which were then absorbed by the Bodhisattva's illusory figure.
In a short while, the countless evil spirits vanished without a trace, leaving only the phantom of the Bodhisattva hovering in mid-air.
"Wow!" Goku's eyes lit up as he looked at the wondrous Bodhisattva.
"This, this is..." Zhang Xiaofan's eyes widened, and the Fire Stick in his hand trembled slightly.
It was obvious that Zhang Xiaofan could also sense the demonic energy within the Bodhisattva's body.
Having absorbed these undead spirits, the Bodhisattva could no longer maintain his Buddha-like appearance. His lips parted, revealing sharp, white teeth, as he greedily stared at the wandering undead spirits around him.
However, the faint golden light restricted its actions, preventing it from attacking them; it could only stare at them with its crimson eyes.
Seeing that no undead dared to approach, Lin Yu shouted, "Enough!" and the demonic form of the Dark Bodhisattva was withdrawn and retracted by Lin Yu.
Lu Xueqi frowned and looked at Lin Yu: "Fellow Daoist Lin, the aura contained in this item is too mixed, resembling both Buddha and demon. It's best to use it with caution to avoid being devoured by the Yin energy."
"Yeah, Lin Yu, this thing is dangerous." Even Goku, that blockhead, could see how dangerous it was.
Although Lu Xueqi did not know the origin of the Demon Pearl, she could see the hidden risks within it. If this domineering demonic energy was not controlled properly, it could very well affect her as well.
Lin Yu raised his hand to recall the bead, nodding with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder, I know what I'm doing."
Just as Lin Yu put the bead back, a hearty laugh tinged with sarcasm echoed through the Necropolis: "Hahaha! How laughable! I never expected that righteous people would resort to the methods of our demonic sect!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Biyao, dressed in a bright green dress, emerge from the shadows beside the cliff. Aunt You followed closely behind, her eyes scanning Lin Yu and the others warily.
Biyao stopped a few steps away from the group, crossed her arms, and gave a mocking smile, "Young heroes, we meet again."
She turned to Aunt You beside her and deliberately raised her voice. "Aunt You, do you think righteous cultivators are particularly hypocritical?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan's face flushed red, and he tightened his grip on the Fire Stick. Although he found Lin Yu's methods strange, he was unwilling to hear people slander the righteous path like this.
Lu Xueqi frowned even more, about to retort, when she saw Lin Yu step forward first.
Lin Yu rolled his eyes so hard they almost seemed to float on air, his tone tinged with impatience. "I'm just a 'rogue cultivator,' I don't care about any Demonic Sect or righteous methods, anything that can be used to punish evil and promote good is a good method."
Biyao was lucky to have met Lin Yu now; if it had been two years ago, Lin Yu would have already slapped her butt.
His words startled Biyao. She had intended to mock Lin Yu for using demonic arts, but Lin Yu directly addressed the issue of good and evil in his actions, leaving her speechless for a moment.
Aunt You stepped forward, blocking Biyao's path, her eyes coldly fixed on Lin Yu: "Why waste words with them? Just capture them and hand them over to the sect leader."
You Ji was more direct; she didn't waste time with words and just took action.
Before Aunt You finished speaking, she raised her hand and a surge of intense fiery magic power erupted around her. The magic power carried a scorching temperature, causing even the Merciless Sea beside her to boil.
