Chapter Nine: A Sword Comes from the West to Exterminate Demons and Evil

The five fingers stretch, controlling five streams of sword energy in the air

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Jing Younan mounted her chestnut steed and hurried towards the Baiyun Temple on Cangwu Mountain

To harness the power of the great sun in the heavens, it is insufficient for mere foundational practitioners; only those who are Golden Elixir Masters or True Immortals can achieve this

Zhou Rui let out a clear whistle, the sound piercing the heavens like a sharp sword, turning the world upside down

It must be so

The secret tome trembled incessantly as a girl dressed in white like snow stepped out from within. She bore a long sword on her back, her hair styled high, with only a jade hairpin inserted at an angle. A blue ribbon was tied around her waist, and she wore no other adornments whatsoever.

The swordsmanship of the girl in white is as simple as her attire, reaching the utmost in both simplicity and sharpness

The Guangling Sect is one of the few sects within a radius of several thousand miles, presided over by the True Man of Longevity, whose power is unparalleled

Boom

He wears a scholar's cap, standing at a height of seven feet and eight inches, with thick eyebrows resembling brushes and eyes like bright stars. Dressed in white robes adorned with embroidered moral texts, he has wide sleeves and a flowing belt, exuding a particularly elegant demeanor

The steed is a rare thousand-mile horse, traveling a thousand miles in a day, and soon the green bricks and red tiles of the Baiyun Temple appeared before my eyes

Ah

Two beautiful young women stand behind the young man, holding the finest writing materials, their laughter bright and charming, like pearls radiating light

Hoo, the disciples of the Grand Sect are truly terrifyingly tight-knit

The Taoist priest Baiyun's gaze flickered, as if he had made a certain resolution. He struck the top of his head, and vital energy surged forth, supporting a square, blood-red seal. A strong, bloody scent filled the space, and faintly, the sounds of ghostly wails and howls echoed, coming in wave after wave, unceasing.

The Taoist priest Baiyun had blood-red eyes, cackling with a sinister laugh. The original ethereal demeanor was nowhere to be seen, and he exuded an aura of evil and brutality, as if he had emerged from the depths of hell.

In Jing Younan's perception, the originally tranquil and profound night sky was gradually illuminated by a rising sun, resembling a blazing fireball, fiercely igniting. Fiery flames cascaded from the heavens, continuously landing upon the five streams of sword energy. Moments later, the sword energy was engulfed in flames, transforming into five blazing suns, arranged in a grand formation along a mysterious trajectory.

Suppressing the myriad thoughts in her heart, Jing Younan hid away and secretly observed. This was the first time she had witnessed the mysterious and powerful abilities of a cultivator up close; with a mere flick of a sword light, the entire Baiyun Temple was destroyed, truly incredible

The true disciples are the most powerful force within the major sects of the Xuanmen. Each true disciple is exceptionally talented, holds a high position, and is a person of real authority. When they walk outside, even the local tyrants do not dare to underestimate them

Yet, in his heart, he was secretly astonished. It was truly strange for such a prominent figure to arrive at the Green Willow Villa so early in the morning. For some reason, Jing Younan couldn't help but recall the vast stone chamber beneath that dark cave, the mysterious jade coffin, and the otherworldly young girl within the coffin

At this thought, Jing Younan was greatly shaken, staring intently at the sky above Baiyun Temple without blinking.

Where has the face of man gone? The peach blossoms smile in the spring breeze

Fairy, let us join forces to eliminate this person

Since you are obstinately unyielding, do not blame me for being ruthless

The treasure book slowly turns, and one painting after another gradually unfolds. Beneath the sky filled with pink peach blossom petals, there are graceful young women holding onto their skirts, there are naive girls lost in thoughts under the moonlight, and there are beautiful noblewomen laughing heartily. Each possesses its own charm, ever-changing and diverse. If one cannot maintain control, one will exhaust their vital energy and perish, as it is insidious and most treacherous.

The sword energy circulates, the great sun flames. Five suns traverse the sky

To the utmost rigidity and utmost brightness, the Great Sun Sword Technique

Hmph, the demoness does not surrender willingly and still wishes to resist; she truly does not know the meaning of danger

A deep and resonant voice approached from afar, as a young man adorned with a purple gold crown, draped in a cloud-patterned brocade robe, and wearing a tricolor jade pendant at his waist, descended from the clouds. With his hands clasped behind his back, he exuded an air of arrogance and dominance in his expression.

Peach Blossom True Qi, Peach Blossom Secret Classic

The eight knights on either side of the carriage responded in unison, their voices booming like thunder, exuding an astonishing presence

Zhou Rui is a true disciple of the Guangling Sect. At a young age, he has advanced to the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage, possessing a magical artifact bestowed by the sect. In this regard, he acts with impunity, and it is not surprising that he carries an air of arrogance.

Jing Younan repeatedly expressed admiration, with envy clearly evident in her words

Outside the Baiyun Temple, both Young Nan and Daoist Feiyu felt a wave of heat rushing towards them, almost melting the two of them. They each focused their minds and suppressed this scorching heat.

This carriage is entirely made of extremely precious meteorite wood, covered with dense runes. When in motion, it moves with the speed of lightning yet remains exceptionally stable. To be precise, this carriage can be considered a magical artifact. What a grand display of craftsmanship

The might of the sword formation is such that even I, at this considerable distance, am shaken and conjure illusions. It seems that the true disciple Zhou Rui's mastery of the Great Sun Sword Technique is indeed formidable and fearsome

"Record of the Demon Treasure, Blood Seal of Yin Sha."

Upon witnessing the blazing sword light filling the sky, the young girl in white furrowed her brows, drew her sword from its sheath, and a beam of snow-white sword light shot upward, rising in the world of the great sun, sparkling with points of silver brilliance.

Jing Younan jumped down from the horse, gazing up at the void, his face pale.

Jing Younan urged his horse forward, aiming to reach the Taoist temple for a rest in one go, when suddenly, an unexpected change occurred

This is the authentic sword scripture of the Guangling Sect, the Great Sun Sword Technique, embodying utmost rigidity and yang, capable of incinerating all things. When cultivated to a profound level, one can communicate with the Great Sun in the sky, harnessing its vast and mighty power to slay gods and extinguish Buddhas, all in the blink of an eye. Damn it, how could the old Taoist Baiyun provoke a true disciple of the Guangling Sect!

It was merely an illusion. The Great Sun Sword Technique demonstrated by Zhou Ruishi of the Guangling Sect shook my spirit, causing illusions to arise within my heart

The incantation entered the ears of the Taoist priest, sharp and continuous. His body leaped high, landing heavily on the ground, rolling in pain, his face pale, devoid of any color.

The moonlight shines brightly, a crescent moon hangs in the void, cool as water, enveloping the entire Baiyun Temple in its embrace, with swirling mist and auspicious aura.

Go to Green Willow Mountain Villa

In the void, flames soared, and the illusory forms of fire serpents encircled the sword energy, praying and worshiping, further enhancing the might of the sword energy

The Taoist Baiyun is also a ruthless and decisive individual. Seeing that there was no way out, he immediately erupted in fury. With a movement of both hands, ten profound streams of true energy transformed into a roaring black dragon, connecting head to tail, forming a great formation of ten dragons to ensnare and kill.

Power, a vast power, transcends the constraints of the physical body, already bearing a magnificent and overwhelming celestial majesty

The girl in white does not cultivate the methods of the Dao or divine powers, but solely focuses on a single sword aura. The lethal force that suddenly erupts is even stronger than her own. The Peach Blossom Fairy has repeatedly escaped the pursuit of her enemies precisely because of this treasure.

Baiyun Temple was nearly split in half, with the pavilions collapsing and the main hall being lifted away

The voice of a young man dressed as a scholar echoed in the cold, desolate street, carrying a hint of sternness.

Outside the Green Willow Mountain Villa, Jing Younan, who had just bid farewell to Yuzhen, who was crying like a tearful person, saw a horse-drawn carriage rushing towards him, as if soaring through the clouds, and couldn't help but exclaim in wonder

Inside the carriage, a young man sat with his eyes closed, resembling a clay statue, with not a hint of breath between his lips and nose

The girl in white is a remnant soul of a sword cultivator that she obtained from a certain ruin. After spending a vast amount of precious materials and countless days and nights, she refined the girl in white into her Peach Blossom Secret Tome, making her the main spirit within the tome

Upon realizing that Baiyun Temple has such a formidable enemy, Jing Younan couldn't help but secretly curse the old Daoist of Baiyun for being truly muddled. He did not concern himself with the old Daoist's life or death, but if many of the spiritual herbs and texts in the temple were to be destroyed, it would indeed cause him great distress

The Peach Blossom Fairy nodded slightly, gave a delicate shout, and the main door swung open wide. A stream of pink vital energy flew out, condensing in mid-air into a nine-foot tall classic.

As dawn broke gently, a magnificent carriage slowly traversed the spacious street, the crisp sound of hooves breaking through the faint morning mist, melodious and rich in poetic resonance

Inside the Baiyun Taoist Temple, Daoist Baiyun and Fairy Taohua wore grim expressions, their brows almost furrowing with intensity. Neither of them had anticipated that the people from the Guangling Sect would arrive so swiftly and strike so ruthlessly, destroying the entire temple with a single blow

Yes, my lord

The sky is clear and the air is fresh, with warm breezes gently blowing, as flowers bloom in competition, creating a scene of vibrant colors everywhere

The five strands of sword energy resembled five blazing suns, carrying an overwhelming celestial might, directly slaying the Daoist Baiyun and the Fairy Taohua

Zhou Rui let out a cold snort, his eyes shining with intense light, as five beams of fiery red sword light shot up into the sky, tearing through the night.

It seems that the other party intends to completely eradicate the books, leaving no way out.

The audacious demoness, how dare she covet the possessions of our Guangling Sect, truly unaware of the consequences of her actions

Upon seeing the girl in white make her move, the Peach Blossom Fairy patted her robe, let out a sigh, and secretly felt fortunate.

The four-sided blood seal rotates in the air, and segments of incantations, resembling scriptures yet not, resonate, obscure and profound, elucidating the path of plunder of the demonic sect: one does not act for oneself, and heaven and earth will bring about annihilation.

In the eyes of a giant like the Guangling Sect, the Baiyun Temple is merely like an ant, easily crushed multiple times with just a finger. This time, the Guangling Sect has directly sent its true disciples, signaling that great disaster is imminent for the Baiyun Temple

This kind of power, this realm, is what inspires relentless pursuit and upward striving in the path of immortality

Moments later, Jing Younan finally regained consciousness, startled and alarmed

Sitting upright on the carriage's armchair, with hands lightly pressed, the entire person resembles a large brush, poised and sharp, exuding an air of precision and authority

A piercing scream pierced the eardrum; at that moment, Jing Younan realized that not far from him, his senior brother, Daoist Guangfa, had also secretly hidden away, watching the battle in the void just like him

To understand, the true disciples are those who have genuinely received the authentic teachings within the sect. Only they are able to cultivate the most profound techniques and methods of the sect, inherit the legacy of the school, and aspire to important positions of authority within the sect.

A beam of sword light cleaved through the air, extending a hundred feet in length, bright and dazzling, descending from above and striking heavily upon the White Cloud Temple.

Confronted with the swordsmanship that radiated like the might of the heavens, the Peach Blossom Fairy's delicate face changed dramatically. The true energy of the peach blossoms within her surged wildly into the Peach Blossom Secret Classic, causing peach blossoms to bloom profusely in the surrounding void, with runes swirling upon them, everlasting and unfading

If even those around are struck with awe, what kind of pressure should be exerted on the opponent during the confrontation
