At this moment, the bloodied man desperately aided Murong He, using his body to block every attack aimed at Murong He.
However, his body was already swaying precariously, and he likely wouldn't withstand many more attacks.
Judging by his build, he was probably Murong Cheng, a steward of the Murong family.
The man in black flicked his wrist, sending a dense volley of fine needles, shimmering with red light, towards Murong Cheng. Murong Cheng formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, and a surge of green light erupted, forming a barrier that enveloped them both.
Most of the fine needles bounced off the barrier, some pierced it, and a very few penetrated. Those that got through struck Murong Cheng. He didn't even groan, gritting his teeth and resisting with all his might.
Cang Shan shook his body, transforming into a mass of black mist. He passed through the bodies of the five men in black one by one, causing them to fall to the ground.
Then, Cang Shan revealed his true form!
Upon seeing that it was Cang Shan, Murong Cheng's face broke into a smile. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but instead, he spat out a mouthful of blood and then collapsed, dead!
Murong He, crying loudly, also rushed into Cang Shan's embrace.
Cang Shan gently stroked his head and said, "Don't cry, child. What they have inflicted upon us today, we will repay tenfold in the future."
After speaking, he looked into the distance, his gaze becoming distant.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi was also undergoing his tribulation. Elder Shen was protecting him, and Elder Tan was hidden in the shadows. Therefore, everything proceeded smoothly without any unexpected events, and he successfully passed his tribulation, calm and undisturbed.
His successful tribulation sent a great shock through the Sun Moon Sect.
Elder Liang and others felt a degree of disappointment, but they quickly let it go.
Passing the tribulation only elevated him to the first level of Human Immortal. The Elder Council had plenty of individuals who could deal with him.
At this time, besides practicing the Heavenly Beyond Flying Immortal Sword Technique, Mo Qi was also taking time to cultivate the Qiankun Mirror Image.
As time passed, he gradually felt that he was on the verge of mastery.
The mirror images he could display were becoming increasingly distant.
It started with Peng Qu Island, then Golden Lion Island, and then the Southern Continent.
Afterward, he began attempting to launch remote attacks from within the mirror images.
He tried various methods, but other attacks could not be projected, only the Finger Arrow Qi.
However, the further the distance, the worse the effect.
But having such a method was already considered formidable!
Mo Qi did not insist on other attack methods, deciding to perfect the arrow qi first.
Thus, he focused on cultivating the mirror images and attacking remotely.
One day, on a whim, he decided to check the current situation of the Ling Xiao Sect.
He activated the Qiankun Mirror Image!
Upon seeing it, he realized how wise it was for him to learn this art!
At that moment, a wave of people was attacking the Ling Xiao Sect.
It turned out that due to the invasion of the An Nan Realm by the Earth People, many sects from the An Nan Realm had migrated to the Nine Divine Realms.
Upon arriving in the Nine Divine Realms, they began searching for places to settle.
There was a sect called the Green Mountain Sect, which, seeing the overwhelming power of the Earth People, had fled without much resistance.
With no foothold left in the An Nan Realm, this group of displaced dogs had fled to the Nine Divine Realms.
In the Nine Divine Realms, by chance, they discovered the Ling Xiao Sect.
They never expected that there was such a weak sect within the Ling Xiao Sect.
For them, this was a heaven-sent opportunity.
They were already worried about where to settle, so wasn't this fate?
After their battle with the Earth People, they still had six Peak Lords and six Elders, all of whom were Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Their Sect Master, Liang Qiuwen, was a Soul Transformation stage cultivator.
However, among the Ling Xiao Sect's Sect Master and Peak Lords, there wasn't a single Soul Transformation stage cultivator. There were only a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and the disciples' cultivation was pitifully low!
In short, they were easy targets!
They were practically a natural magnet for bullying!
Without hesitation, they launched an attack on the Ling Xiao Sect.
The Ling Xiao Sect hastily defended itself, activating its barrier, but the barrier was quickly broken.
The Green Mountain Sect's army surged in.
Like fierce tigers descending from a mountain, they were unstoppable, breaking through all resistance.
After storming the mountain gate, these individuals acted like wild beasts, killing anyone they saw.
They encountered little effective resistance and quickly slaughtered a large number, turning the ground into a river of blood.
The Green Mountain Sect members grew more ferocious with each kill, their eyes turning red.
At this point, someone in the crowd shouted, "They have a Maiden Peak here, all female cultivators!"
"Hahaha..." a wave of laughter followed.
Although no words were spoken, everyone understood.
Thus, the main force headed towards the Maiden Peak.
However, upon reaching the Maiden Peak, it was empty. Not only were there no female cultivators, but there wasn't a single person.
It turned out that when the barrier was broken, Han Yang had ordered all disciples from all peaks to gather at Shao Xia Peak.
This would allow for concentrated forces to defend the position.
It would also prevent the enemy from picking them off one by one.
But they had completely underestimated the frenzy of the Green Mountain Sect members. These individuals, finding the Maiden Peak deserted, became like wolves and tigers, baring their teeth and claws as they charged towards Shao Xia Peak.
The Ling Xiao Sect disciples fought while retreating, all crowding into the area above the halfway point of Shao Xia Peak.
Meanwhile, the Green Mountain Sect's powerful assault did not cease.
Han Yang ordered the disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage to stand on the outer perimeter and jointly unleash their divine abilities, forming a light barrier to try and halt the Green Mountain Sect's advance.
But that barrier was quickly shattered!
Han Yang and the other Sect Masters and Peak Lords met them head-on.
As Liang Qiuwen and the Elders and Peak Lords of the Green Mountain Sect charged to the forefront, the two sides collided, and the Ling Xiao Sect was immediately routed.
Liang Qiuwen burst into unrestrained laughter: "Hahaha, what need is there for such a weak sect to exist? All of you, die!"
Peak Lord Zuo Qiu Xun Shan also laughed: "Contribute your cultivation resources, and contribute your female cultivators as well."
Amidst their unrestrained laughter, the Green Mountain Sect army surged upwards.
Han Yang and others managed to organize a wave of cultivators to block them. Han Yang almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Ren Kui supported him, allowing him to barely stand before he immediately retreated.
With this retreat, countless more people were killed, falling to the ground.
This repeated process forced the Ling Xiao Sect disciples to gradually retreat further up the mountain, while their numbers dwindled, and their foothold became smaller and smaller.
At this moment, a figure flew out and lunged fiercely at Liang Qiuwen, who was reveling in his triumph.
"Thousand Blades of Mo Dao!"
Ten thousand streaks of Mo Dao light energy, emitting a dazzling radiance, whistled towards Liang Qiuwen.
It was Leng Xiao!
It had to be said that at this critical juncture of survival, his mind remained very calm. He knew that to catch the king, one must first catch the thief.
And looking at the current Ling Xiao Sect, perhaps only he could deal with Liang Qiuwen.
Liang Qiuwen was truly shocked by the overwhelming force of the incoming attack.
The cultivation power this person unleashed was clearly at the Soul Transformation stage.
Why hadn't he noticed this before?
He had indeed investigated beforehand. Among the Ling Xiao Sect's Sect Master, Peak Lords, and Elders, there were no cultivators at the Soul Transformation stage. Could this person merely be an ordinary disciple?
Liang Qiuwen dared not be careless. He immediately formed a seal, and a dense mass of black mist erupted from his robes.
The black mist whistled towards the Mo Dao light energy.
As the two collided, they became locked in a stalemate. The black and white light tore at each other, yet neither could budge the other.
However, the Green Mountain Sect had too many reinforcements. Seeing the stalemate, Xun Shan immediately sent a flying sword towards Leng Xiao, forcing Leng Xiao to dodge.
With this dodge, the black mist, like a beast breaking free from its cage, lunged towards Leng Xiao.
Leng Xiao was struck, covered in wounds, and fell to the ground. The Ling Xiao Sect disciples, in a flurry, rescued him.
The Ling Xiao Sect retreated further, while the Green Mountain Sect pressed on relentlessly.
Han Yang, retreating, sighed to the heavens, "Could it be that today, the heavens wish to destroy my Ling Xiao Sect?"
Geng Xu sighed and said, "Unless the Vice Sect Master returns, we cannot be saved. But at this moment, he is likely thousands of miles away. Distant water cannot quench nearby thirst..."
Li Xue Mei also felt deep sorrow, believing that the end had come.
She said to the female cultivators under her command, "Those who do not wish to suffer humiliation, take your own lives."
The disciples responded one after another, preparing to commit suicide!
At this moment, a low sigh echoed through the sky. Though it was a low sigh, it was so clear that everyone under heaven could hear it.
Everyone's heart trembled involuntarily.
All looked up towards the sky.
They saw a young man in white, as graceful as jade, floating in the sky, ethereal and full of celestial aura.
At that moment, people felt as if they were witnessing a god descending.
He was about to use his divine powers to save all beings!
"Vice Sect Master!"
The disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect were overjoyed, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
Among the female cultivators, there were embraces and weeping.
Bai Cheng, who was usually devoid of emotion, now had red-rimmed eyes.
Bai Li Bing, in particular, was crying uncontrollably.
As for Jin Dan, he couldn't help but curse, "Why are you only coming now? Why didn't you wait until we were all dead?"
Leng Xiao, lying on the ground, roared in anger, "You've shown off again!"
