Chapter 18: The Great Conspiracy (Part 2)

  The flower demon girl heard this and suddenly felt a sense of unease, saying: "It turns out that this child is actually the son of Qingcheng Sect's leader, Longsun Sheng! Qingcheng Mountain is not far from here, and for someone like Longsun Sheng who is a top-notch swordsman, flying with his sword would take no more than a snap of his fingers. Who knows if he has arrived, or if his father is secretly lurking nearby?"

  Chang Sun Wu Jin looked up and down at Hua Yao Niang and asked: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, but is your esteemed ladyship over a hundred years old?"

  The flower demoness hummed and said: "Am I that old? I'm only eighty years old."

  Chang Sun Wuji gritted his teeth, filled with a heroic and resolute determination that he would not go to hell alone, and said: "Alright, I'm an 80s kid after all. What's the harm in playing along with you?" With a fan as his sword, he suddenly thrust out and shouted: "Watch my 'Thirteen Styles of Swordplay for Women' first move - 'Gun Challenging Jade Bud'!"

  As soon as one side made a move, the other side had already engaged in close combat and the two sides became entangled.

  The spotted old demon wielded a Yang-sealing magic knife, its dark energy surging like a forest of green blades. Long Tian and Qiu Junyi retreated step by step under the knife's pressure, their situation precarious.

  Yu Zhong Shi saw the situation and swiftly moved his sword "Fog Shadow" to attack, shouting: "Old demon, I don't know what grudge you have with Tong Bao Bureau, but it led to a tragic disaster that destroyed my family. Today, I will definitely chop your body into ten thousand pieces to comfort the spirits of the dead!"

  The old demon's power was profound and mysterious, having reached the state of "sitting in stillness". How could he take the jade-like stone lightly? With a cold laugh, he said: "You dare to speak loudly even when death is at hand!" His left palm flipped over, revealing vibrant and dazzling patterns on his skin. A "Seven Killings Seal" struck the Misty Shadow Sword.

  Jade's arm went numb and retreated, but the sword blade above was covered with colorful spots, a cold and poisonous breath rushed towards him along the immortal sword.

  Jade within stone dare not slacken, busy urging true energy to resist the invasion of toxic breath, sword moves did not slow down.

  Xia Peiheng and Yu Linglong arrived shoulder to shoulder, each with a sword pointing at the back of the old variegated demon, saying: "Old devil, look at our swords!"

  The old monster didn't even turn its head, instead reversing the flow of the Sealing Sun Devil Blade to block, "Ding ding" a crisp sound shook Xia and Yu's bodies, causing them to stumble backward.

  Long Tianhe and Qiu Junyi shouted in unison, taking advantage of the momentum to launch a surprise attack. But who would have thought that the old demon Bān Lán would retreat like a ghost, his body floating away, avoiding the two men's attacks, and directly cutting into the gap between Xia Peiheng and Yu Linglong.

  He was originally facing away from Xia and Yu, but with just a slight retreat of half a step, the situation instantly reversed, turning into these two people exposing their backs without any cover or obstruction in front of him.

  Xia Pei Heng was shocked and shouted: "Get out of the way!" He collided with Yu Ling Long's delicate body, exerting great force to twist his waist and swing his sword in a swift slash.

  "Bang!" The old demon's move was a sneak attack, and the Seven Killing Handprint hit Xia Peiheng's left rib just in time.

  Xia Pei Heng spat blood and fell to the ground, not only were his ribs completely broken, but he was also poisoned, and he fainted on the spot.

  The crowd was shocked and changed color, unexpectedly the spotted old demon was so terrifying. The four great masters of the realm, plus Yu Zhongshi who had already comprehended the Tongyao realm, joined forces to surround and attack him, but they were all not his opponents!

  Just then, Xīao Sì shouted: "Striped old demon, do you want to know how your two dead disciples died?"

  The spotted old demon condensed his sword but didn't release it, coldly snorting: "Little dog, not much longer and I'll dig out your heart to offer as a sacrifice to my disciple!"

  Xiao Si sneered: "You've killed more people than I have, aren't you afraid of being haunted by vengeful spirits?"

  The old demon sneered: "There are nearly 8,000 souls who have been liberated by me, and you will be the next one!"

  Xiao Si shook his head and said, "You fool, you still don't understand. I chose this place so that the 108 brothers and sisters who died in Tonghuai Bureau can take revenge with their own hands!"

  The mottled old demon burst into loud laughter: "Ridiculous, even if you summon their souls, what can you do? Little dog, come and take my life!" His figure flashed and he easily escaped from the encirclement of the crowd, his left hand condensed into a seal and slapped towards Xiao Si.

  Qiu Junyi shouted: "Xiao brother, quickly hide!" He wanted to rush up and rescue him, but how could he be faster than the spotted old demon?

  Xiao Si calmly and slowly waved the jade tube in his hand at the old demon, saying: "You think you're the only cruel one in this world? Open your toad eyes wide and take a good look, I'll teach you a lesson in death!"

  He pointed his finger at the jade tube, and a crystal clear light burst out, spreading like ripples in an instant, enveloping the gentle slope.

  "Hum!" Amidst the tomb group, 108 blood-red light pillars shot up into the sky, like a fiery sword piercing through the heavens.

  In an instant, the azure cloud space dimmed, and clusters of bloody storm clouds gathered, condensing into a dark sky with no sunlight or moonlight.

  For a moment everyone stopped fighting, staring blankly upwards at the turbulent sky.

  Those 108 beams of light rotated like a hurricane, emitting dazzling blood halos, and the spiritual energy of the law arrays filled the air, transforming into a boundless red glow.

  Geng Nan Yi sat leaning in the carriage, with Geng Shao Hua and his wife guarding him on either side. He strained to look out at the distant sky, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

  Geng Shaohua's mind was greatly shocked, and he muttered to himself: "It turns out that the three days and nights when Fourth Uncle disappeared were actually spent alone in this desolate wilderness setting up a grand formation!"

  Thinking of the grand scale and shocking power of this extraordinary array, although I didn't see with my own eyes how Xiao Si set it up, I can still imagine that for three days and three nights he was working tirelessly to the point of exhaustion, in order to create today's magnificent spectacle!

  Mrs. Geng muttered: "But where did Little Fourth Uncle get so many Fa Zhen Ling instruments?"

  Geng Nan Wing suddenly said: "Don't forget, Bu Suanzi is his apprentice!"

  Then, neither of us could say a word. In fact, the grandeur and beauty of this magic array was beyond description!

  Wan Er's eyes moistened as she gazed at Xiao Si, who was beaming with pride. Suddenly, she rushed forward and planted a wet kiss on his cheek!

  Xiao Si touched her cheek and stretched out his hand to hold Wan'er tightly, but heard Wan'er whispering in his ear: "You rascal!"

  Chu Lie saw this scene, Zhao Bai Chuan saw it, and Qiu Jun Yi, Zhao Qian Feng and others also saw it.

  But no one stood up to rebuke them, they just silently gazed at the couple standing in the center of the 108 light pillars, like a small couple standing in the center of the earth, whispering softly in the gaze of thousands of eyes.

  Life is so brilliant, love is so beautiful. So-called generation gap, secular etiquette and so on seem to be insurmountable, but they are just an excuse for life.

  Chu Lie's nose slightly turned sour, and he couldn't help but regret. He thought of his daughter who had eloped with a young man from a humble background and had lost contact ever since. If only he hadn't been so simple-minded and rough back then, they wouldn't have ended up estranged.

  "Take action!" The spotted old demon was the first to react, mobilizing his body shape to condense and strike at Xiao Si with the Seven Killing Handprint.

  "Crack——" The blood cloud in the high sky surged, and suddenly, countless crimson lightning bolts, each with a long tail of residual images, tore through the dark sky, like the Sword of Heaven descending from the sky to punish all ghosts, demons, and evil spirits.

  The spotted old demon suddenly felt a great brightness on his head, and dozens of crimson lightning bolts charged forward, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, and the momentum was no less than that of dozens of masters wielding swords at the same time.

  He didn't dare to be careless with his astonishing and shocking cultivation, so he had to abandon the idea of killing Xiao Si. He turned his palm upwards and made a false slap, striking out a mottled light print.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The light seal and Blood Thorn intertwined, colliding and splashing with a dazzling flow of fire. A powerful and unparalleled electric prison pressed down on him like a mountain, shaking his body slightly, and his offensive momentum dissipated.

  The old demon is still so powerful, let alone others. In an instant, the mournful cries rose and fell, one after another, the followers of the Zhuang Yi Sect and those demonic monsters with slightly inferior cultivation were all beheaded by Chi Meng, turned into a sky full of blood rain, their souls flying and dispersing, not even able to reincarnate!

  Only those who have attained the realm of observation and subtlety can barely withstand the impact of Akuma, but they are also in a state of disarray.

  It's strange that those red spears seemed to have grown eyes, specifically targeting a group of evil demons and bandits, wildly bombarding them with no regard for their own safety, yet never mistakenly hitting anyone from the Willful Pavilion.

  The old monster's anger and shock converged, but when he took a closer look, he found that on the chest of each person wearing white mourning clothes, there were faint silver-white symbols that flickered on and off, warding off all lightning!

  He discovered it, and others did too. Chu Lie grasped the Huo Yan Lie Yuan knife, glanced at the gleaming symbol on his chest, and burst out laughing: "So that's how it is! Brothers, let's kill!" He swung his knife towards Xu Zhenjie, who was covering his head and fleeing in a panic.

  Xu Xiaoqian hastily rushed forward to rescue his son, shouting: "Snatch their mourning clothes, snatch their mourning clothes!"

  Enemies meet face to face with eyes redder than usual. Chu Lie angrily shouted and rushed forward, a whirlwind of fire knives and blades pressing down on Xu Xiaoqian like an overturned sea.

  The turmoil resumed, but compared to before, there had been an earth-shaking change.

  The invincible crimson rain poured down from the sky like a swarm of locusts, and the hundreds of members of the Zao Yi Sect were more than half wounded in an instant. The remaining masters had to dodge the bloody lightning strikes while withstanding the violent counterattack of the righteous heroes, suddenly becoming flustered and at a loss, one by one losing their will to fight and thinking of escaping.

  It was unclear who shouted in the chaos: "Run for your lives!"

  When the next call responded, the vanguard of the black-clad army was defeated like a mountain collapse, scattering and fleeing in all directions. However, they suddenly realized with horror that no matter how far they fled in any direction, they could not shake off the encirclement of this large formation!

  Moreover, the dark red mist around grew thicker and thicker, the sky became even more gloomy, and soon fell into a piece of dark chaos, only those striking blood electric lights were flashing in the howling.

  However, this is not the end, but just a beginning. In the depths of the thick dark red mist, there are faintly visible ghostly shadows lurking and searching for prey with greedy and ferocious eyes.

  If you're not careful, those soap-clad masters' throats, chests, and backs... all the vital parts will be bitten to pieces, torn apart, and swallowed in an instant!

  This is no longer a human world, it's clearly a hellish place of darkness and despair!
