The news came from Mingyan’s subordinate. Mingyan, who was sitting in the hall at the time, listened to them without expression.
“Almost all the sects of the Righteous Path have participated in it, and there were also cultivators from the demonic sects,” said the subordinate, who was kneeling on the ground. He then presented a copy of the voice transmission jade tablet with both hands. “This is the news from the Demon Lord Shi Di this morning.”
Mo Tianliao took Qingtong to see the little furballs hidden in the back garden, and then went around to the front to listen to the news.
Mingyan swiped a single finger across the jade tablet, erasing the spiritual mark on it, and the voice in the jade tablet was immediately heard: “Supreme Demon Lord should have heard about the Woyun Sect’s matter by now. Should we also give a hand to the sect?”
The snow colored kitten jumped on Mingyan’s knee and grabbed his hand to see the jade tablet.
“Don’t move.” Mingyan’s voice had no inflections –it was calm as always, he flicked his finger and knocked out the jade tablet.
Mo Tianliao thoughtfully looked at the jade tablet that got thrown far away. Mingyan had been the Supreme Master of Demon Dao for so many years. In addition to his strength, his fairness in dealing with matters was also the reason why several Demon Lords have always trusted him.
To be the Supreme Demon Venerable was not that easy. It took a great deal of skill to convince each and every Demon Venerable and let them think that they have a close relationship with the Supreme Master and thereby show their unconditional support to the Supreme.
Take Mo Tianliao as an example. Although, previously he didn’t have too much of a close personal relationship with Mingyan, there were still some secret transactions that took place between them. So in the past few years, Duantian had always been ranked second, and there were some things that Mingyan would help him resolve. Similarly, it seemed that Mingyan’s personal relationship with Shi Di was also not bad, and he would come to inquire about anything that was important.
Therefore, when the Duantian Mo Palace was besieged, none of the Demon Venerables had participated. Not because Mo Tianliao was popular, but most probably these Demon Venerables were stopped by Ming Yan.
Mo Tianliao was going to take Qingtong to have a look. Although, the previous night, the cubs of Woyun Sect had been carried to the Demon Palace by Mingyan, and the Sect was guarded by the mountain protection array and nothing could happen for a while, but the array formation could not guarantee and ensure safety completely.
“The Woyun Sect conspired with the Demons and killed Elder Yunsong and hundreds of Qingyun Sect disciples. The Immortal Xuanjie also came to the sect and humiliated the Qingyun Sect’s master. Qingyun Sect will not take this lying down. We will take revenge for sure!” The Sect Master of the Qingyun sect, Immortal Yunzhu, stood in the void and said impassionedly.
“That’s right, Woyun Sect is a demonic sect. Previously, Immortal Qingtong killed elder Ding Hu and we had no evidence against him. But now we know that Qingtong is a demon beast. He hid his contract master, Duantian, in Woyun Sect. Ding Hu was a master craftsman and now there is no one in the Righteous Path who could take his place and be comparable in skill with Duantian. Now we have no choice but to buy the things from the Demon Treasure Pavilion at an astronomical price!” Liuyun sect Elder Liu Mang also followed and said.
“Woyun Sect colluded with the demonic path and had contempted the righteous path!”
“Harbouring the Demon Lord is akin to leading the wolf into the house!”
The other small sects all made a look that was filled with righteous indignation, but it was not clear what their true inner thoughts were.
But no matter how they yelled and made noise outside, the people of the Woyun Sect seemed to be asleep and didn’t even bother to come out.
Someone couldn’t help themselves and walked in through the Mountain Gate of Woyun Sect to see what the people of Woyun Sect were doing. But instead, he only saw a man in purple clothes sitting by the fire on the long mountain road, earnestly roasting chicken legs. When the man saw someone was looking at him, he smiled at the other person: “Brother, do you want to eat chicken legs?”
The man’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but take a step forward. Suddenly, he felt as if he was dragged by a huge suction-like force and hit an invisible wall with a “bang”. Then, like an insect stuck on a spider web, he couldn’t get away no matter how hard he struggled. Trying to attack the enchantment with spiritual powers was like sending a mud cow into the sea. It just disappeared without any effect.
And the man who was earnestly grilling the chicken legs suddenly laughed and walked over leisurely. He pushed the drumstick in his hand into the man’s mouth with a “Boom” sound: “If you want to eat, just say so, why did you crash into the mountain protection array?”
The surrounding people immediately gasped as they understood the situation. The people inside the array could easily touch the people outside the array, but the people outside the array were immobile like sticky bugs. If it was not a chicken leg but a spiritual sword then this person would be already dead!
“Shixiong, is it true what the people outside are saying? They said that many people in the sect are demon beasts.” One of the inner disciples asked Hua Qing who was looking up at the sky.
“Does it matter whether it is true or not? I only know that if the sect is breached, you and I will be homeless.” Behind him, Cheng Xi, carrying a spiritual sword, suddenly spoke.
Hua Qing looked back at him in surprise. When did this youth who had fire heavenly root and was always jealous of Mo Tianliao, become so clear and righteous?
“Mo Tianliao only relied on the fact that he was an old Demon to cultivate fast and he even brought such a big disaster to the sect. Now, I will surely guard the sect well!” Cheng Xi said this sentence and rushed towards a group of people stuck in the sky.
Hua Qing’s mouth corners twitched, even after so long, this guy was still comparing himself with Mo Tianliao.
The mountain protection array was really powerful. Even the cultivators in the Half-immortal stage would be stuck if they bumped into the array. It took a bit of effort to get out of the predicament, but people with insufficient cultivation would not be able to do it.
At first, the crowd was busy charging. Later, they were busy saving people.
“This won’t work,” Liu Bi stopped Yunyuan and the others who were continuing to save people. “It’s just a waste of time. Since this is a big array, then there must be a time when the spiritual power of the array will be exhausted.”
“What does that mean?” The Sect Master of the Qingyun sect asked.
“As long as everyone is stuck on the magic array, the spiritual power of the array will soon be consumed.” Liu Bi sneered.
Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that the magic array had no attack power, and there was no danger of being stuck on it, but the people inside could attack.
“The fact that the Woyun Sect hasn’t killed people so far shows us that they still have morality and justice,” Immortal Liu Mang stroked his beard. “Even if everyone came together, they would not be able to deal with all of us at the same time.” It doesn’t matter if there are a few casualties. By that time, they would have broken through the mountain protection array.
Immortal Tianlang stood outside the Woyun Hall with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the people from various factions who were pouncing on the array like “locusts”. Before he could issue an order, he saw a huge fire surging from outside the array, burning up all the “locusts” stuck to the array.
The disciples of Woyun Sect who were about to rush up with their swords were dumbfounded. Where did the fire come from?
Everyone turned their heads in horror, and saw that amidst the fire, a man dressed in black was walking in the void, and a big tortoise-shell mouth yelled from the side: “Wow, master, so many targets, let’s play Rainstorm Pear Blossoms. Taishi needle style!”
