Chapter 258 Gaining Divine Power (Part 2)

At this moment, Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and Tian Xin, the four women, were in a state of shock inside the Xuan Tian Shuttle. Seeing that Ge Xiaoyao was safe and sound, and had even used his divine power to kill and defeat two Jie Sect protectors, they were overjoyed. They hurriedly opened the Xuan Tian Shuttle's hatch and came out to greet Ge Xiaoyao.

"Those two monkey demons didn't hurt you, did they?!" Ge Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

Duo Mei smiled and said, "The Xuan Tian Shuttle is incredibly sturdy, we're fine! Brother Ge, how come your true power has suddenly become so much stronger?"

"Yes! Brother Ge, when I saw you and that first monkey demon were both injured, I thought you were going to abandon us!" Thinking of what had just happened, Ling Lei's eyes reddened again, and a crystal tear welled up in her eye.

In fact, just now, it wasn't just Ling Lei who was heartbroken; Duo Mei and the others were all extremely grief-stricken. If Duo Mei hadn't insisted on stopping them, the three of them would have gone down to fight the Jie Sect protector monkey demon to the death!

Tianxin and Yulu, their eyes red, examined Ge Xiaoyao from head to toe. Finding him unharmed, they were relieved.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, your brother Ge is blessed with good fortune. He has obtained the ancient divine power of Pangu and Yizhuo, as well as the Heaven-Opening Axe!"

The women were all shocked. "What about Pangu and Yizhuo?"

Ge Xiaoyao sighed slightly and said, "They have vanished!" He added, "Let's go, let's offer them a sacrifice!"

The group returned to the Xuan Tian Shuttle and plunged into the deep valley.

With the remnants of the Ancestral Dragon's energy destroyed, the restrictions on magical power and true energy in the valley were completely broken. The Xuan Tian Shuttle descended rapidly, arriving instantly at the site of Pangu and Yizhuo's battle.

After the life-or-death battle between the two ancient gods, Pangu and Yizhuo, the place was a scene of devastation. Leaves were flying everywhere, rocks were shattered, only the deep hole from where the Pangu boulder had burst open remained unfilled.

Pangu and Yizhuo were nowhere to be seen; not even their corpses remained. Everyone fell silent. In that instant, the hatred they had harbored for Yizhuo and Pangu vanished completely. Ge Xiaoyao placed the Heaven-Opening Axe and the Dragon Immortal Platform beside the deep cave, leading the four women to stand with their heads bowed in silence. He murmured in his heart, "Brothers Pangu and Yizhuo, you have passed on your divine power to me, Ge Xiaoyao. I will certainly not diminish your prestige, and you will stand tall between heaven and earth. The matter you entrusted to me, I will fulfill even if I search to the ends of the earth and the nine heavens and earthly palaces! Although your original spirits are destroyed, a single breath of life remains between heaven and earth..." "The spiritual energy still remains. I hope that with your supreme power, you will help me, Ge Xiaoyao, accomplish my great task, rescue my beloved wife Chu Yu, dominate the Three Realms, and restore peace to all living beings."

After Ge Xiaoyao finished his prayer, he raised his head, only to feel a slight tremor beneath his feet. Just as he was wondering what was happening, he heard Duo Mei shout, "Brother Ge, is it an earthquake? Let's go!"

Ling Lei, Tian Xin, and Yu Lu also changed color instantly. They were still shaken by the scene of the earth-shattering battle when Pangu broke out of the stone and fought against Pangu Yi Zhuo. At this moment, they hurriedly urged Ge Xiaoyao to get on the Xuan Tian Shuttle.

The earth began to tremble again, gathering all the leaves in the valley from the center and filling the dark cave. The cliffs on both sides seemed to be pulled by a great force, slowly squeezing towards the center. The Xuan Tian Shuttle swayed and, under Ge Xiaoyao's control, flew out of the valley at incredible speed and soared into the clouds.

A deafening roar echoed through the mountains, as if countless trees were being uprooted by an invisible giant hand. All the birds and beasts took flight, and the mountain spirits, monsters, and avian spirits soared into the air. The Xuan Tian Shuttle, seemingly floating there, appeared, and Tian Xin, the master of Broken Heart Mountain, was also inside, all converging towards it.

Seeing only an earthquake and no danger in the air, Ge Xiaoyao opened the Xuan Tian Shuttle's hatch and led Duo Mei and the other three out, greeting the lesser demons on a cloud.

The lesser demons recognized Tian Xin and came forward to pay their respects.

After some polite exchanges, they continued to watch the tremors of Broken Heart Mountain. While inside the mountains, they didn't notice much, but in mid-air, the movement of the mountain streams, the changing course of the water, and the falling of trees were clearly visible. To everyone's astonishment, the mountain streams seemed to be under someone's command, slowly converging towards one point, squeezing and merging the deep valleys and fissures one by one.

Ge Xiaoyao's heart stirred. He sensed that although the tremors of the mountain were fragmented, they seemed orderly, subtly attempting to fill the cracks and connect the broken mountain fragments. "Ah... could it truly be the power of Pangu and Yizhuo's will that heals the broken heart?"

"The Broken Heart Mountain is finally whole!" a little demon cried out.

Sure enough, the tremors gradually subsided, and the cracks, large and small, were squeezed shut. The mountain fragments were tightly packed together, indistinguishable from one another, forming a heart shape.

Ge Xiaoyao glanced at Tianxin, whose delicate brows were slightly furrowed, but she showed no joy.

"Sigh, after such a catastrophe, her original home was destroyed. How can she be happy?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Those of them who did not live on Broken Heart Mountain were excited to see it become whole, a natural wonder. But those like Tianxin, the fox spirit, who had lived on the mountain for many years, were not thinking of the change in scenery, but rather of the loss of their homes. Moreover, such a mountain-moving tremor caused countless lives to be lost and destroyed.

"Pain is always temporary, everything will be alright, just like this Broken Heart Mountain, which was cracked for billions of years, but it still healed completely, didn't it?" Ge Xiaoyao comforted Tianxin.

Seeing Tianxin's melancholy expression, Duomei smiled and said, "Sister Tianxin, look, isn't it even more beautiful after the mountain is merged together? As for the cave... we can just build another one!"

Linglei and Yulu also offered their own words of comfort.

At this moment, someone among the little demons shouted, "Since that's the case, why don't we change the name of Broken Heart Mountain! Sister Tianxin, you named Broken Heart Mountain, so you can name it again this time!"

The little demons echoed.

Ge Xiaoyao and the others smiled slightly and looked at Tianxin. In fact, Tianxin, the fox spirit, was also

pleased with the Broken Heart Mountain's intact state. Just like when she first came to Broken Heart Mountain, the mountain's heart was shattered, and her heart was shattered as well. Until now, when she reunited with Ge Xiaoyao and received the true love in her dream, her heart had been healed anew. Unexpectedly, the mountain's heart, like a human heart, was thus made whole. Thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "I, Tianxin, am but a humble scholar, and I apologize for my ignorance. This mountain has a heart; it can break and be whole again, which proves its spiritual nature and affection. Why not call it the Mountain of Love? What do you all think?"

"Excellent! Sister Tianxin is absolutely right… This mountain should be called the Mountain of Love; it couldn't be more fitting!" Ling Lei immediately praised.

The demons also echoed her praise, and the name "Mountain of Love" quickly spread.

Seeing everyone's response, the fox spirit Tianxin stole a glance at Ge Xiaoyao with her beautiful eyes, only to suddenly realize that Ge Xiaoyao was also looking at her affectionately. Their eyes met, and two hot blushes instantly rose to her cheeks.

Ge Xiaoyao recalled how he had led several people away from Xiqi these past few days on this extremely dangerous mission. Yin San, following his instructions, had taken on a bad reputation and fled far away with the Lotus Seed of the Kingdom. Pangu and Yizhuo fought and were both injured, eventually passing on their divine power, all for the sake of brotherhood. He had risked his life to save Yulu and fought against the four guardians of the Jie Sect for true love. Tianxin Fox Girl had risked her life to seduce the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts for the sake of her sisterhood with Duomei. In this Broken Heart Mountain, all kinds of true feelings were revealed, which was quite fitting for the name "Mountain of Love".

Of course, he also knew that the name Tianxin, meaning "Heartbreak Mountain," and the name Qingshan (Mountain of Love) both originated from his love. He chuckled and said, "Qingshan, Qingshan, must be a mountain of love. Those who live in Qingshan must all be people of love and righteousness! From now on, we must all live in harmony, unite as one, and turn Qingxin into a peaceful and harmonious paradise!"

The demons all knew about Ge Xiaoyao's body, and many of the lesser demons had witnessed his fierce battle against the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the four guardian monkey demons of the Jie Sect. Moreover, everyone understood that he was the object of affection for the eldest sister of Qingshan—the fox spirit Tianxin. They all respected him greatly, and their voices of agreement rang out.

At this moment, a little demon said, "Brother Ge, Sister Tianxin, and the other sisters, why don't you stay on Love Mountain and not go anywhere else? Let's unite and deal with the Jie Sect, what do you say?"

The little demons all responded, urging Ge Xiaoyao and the others to stay on Love Mountain.

Ge Xiaoyao looked at Duomei, who shook her head and smiled slightly, while Tianxin whispered to him, "Brother Ge, I'll listen to you!"

Ge Xiaoyao sighed slightly. In truth, he also longed to enjoy the carefree life on Love Mountain, with its lush greenery and clear waters, but they had an important mission. The Jie Sect would certainly not let it go and would send more demons to hunt them down. Staying on Love Mountain would not be a blessing for Love Mountain, but rather a disaster. Thinking of this, he laughed loudly, "Thank you all for your kindness. It's not that I, Ge Xiaoyao, don't want to stay, but I have an important mission to fulfill and cannot stay in one place. Please forgive me. I will definitely return to Qingshan to enjoy the company

of everyone after I complete my mission!" A chorus of regret rippled through the demons, showing how much they wanted him to stay.

Tianxin the fox spirit said, "Ge Xiaoyao and the others do indeed have an important mission to complete, and I will also be going with Brother Ge. Please take good care of Qingshan from now on!"

The demons were stunned, not expecting Tianxin to leave as well. Immediately, a little demon cried out, "Sister Tianxin, what will we do if you leave? Why don't you take us with you?"

Tianxin gave a bitter smile and could only look at Ge Xiaoyao with pleading eyes.

Ge Xiaoyao also smiled helplessly. In the demons' minds, he, Ge Xiaoyao, was definitely the culprit who had abducted their idol; how could he possibly explain himself?

Ling Lei chuckled and said, "Don't rush, everyone. We're not in a hurry to leave anyway. How about we help you build your new homes first?" She winked at Tian Xin, who immediately understood and said, "Yes, I can only feel at ease when everyone is settled!"

Ling Lei's words immediately shifted the demons' attention to how to settle down. The lesser demons began to chatter amongst themselves about where to build their homes and what kind of cave dwellings to create.

Finally, they decided that Ge Xiaoyao and the others would lead the demons to find four scenic and spiritually significant locations around Love Mountain as their settlements. Then, the demons would divide the work and work together to build their cave dwellings, naming them the North, South, East, and West Palaces of Love Mountain. Each palace would select a lesser demon with high cultivation to serve as its leader. The four palaces would communicate with each other, and in case of danger, they would help each other and jointly protect Love Mountain.

After three days of hard work, the cave dwellings in the four palaces were basically completed. The remaining work consisted of some decorative details, which the lesser demons would slowly complete themselves. Finally, with some free time, Ge Xiaoyao and the others breathed a sigh of relief and enjoyed a good night's rest. Of course, Ge Xiaoyao didn't sleep alone; he spent the entire night in passionate lovemaking, satisfying the four women—Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and Tian Xin. Fortunately, his cultivation was already high, and he had recently obtained that ancient divine power, so the night's battle was nothing to him.

The sun was high in the sky, but apart from Duo Mei, the other three women—Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and Tian Xin—had not yet gotten up, presumably due to overexertion the previous night. Ge Xiaoyao, however, was already waiting outside the hall, ready to discuss the next steps with the four women.

After a thorough care, Duo Mei's face glowed like a rosy cloud, her eyes sparkling with spring tides, her alluring charm even surpassing her former self. She walked to Ge Xiaoyao's side, lowering her voice to coquettishly complain, "Brother Ge, look at you! You don't know how to cherish women! The others haven't gotten up yet!"

Chapter 259 The Vast Calamity (Part 1)

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and also whispered, "Looks like you're alright. Did you slack off last night? I'll have to take extra care of you tonight!"

Duo Mei's face immediately flushed red. Thinking of the passionate night before, which had left her feeling like she was in heaven, she truly experienced Ge Xiaoyao's prowess. Although pleased, she glared at Ge Xiaoyao and snorted coldly, "Talking nonsense in broad daylight! Aren't you afraid of being overheard?"

"Hehe, what are you whispering with Brother Ge in broad daylight? Are you afraid of being overheard?" At this moment, the three women emerged from the inner room one by one, Ling Lei giggling.

Duo Mei smiled and said, "You silly girl! What nonsense are you talking about? I was talking to your Brother Ge. These three little girls don't know how late they went to bed last night, and they still haven't gotten up!"

Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and Tian Xin all blushed when they thought about what happened last night. Only Ling Lei was a little more cheeky and laughed, "Sister Duo Mei, ask Brother Ge. It seems like he didn't sleep at all last night!"

Upon hearing this, the five of them understood each other perfectly and all laughed.

The warm sunlight slanted in from outside the cave, making the already radiant group even more glowing and energetic. At this moment, a white dove wobbled into the cave. Its pure white feathers were stained with specks of blood, and a small bamboo tube was tied to its leg.

"Xue Yu, what's wrong?" Ling Lei, who had been smiling just now, suddenly froze when she saw the white dove, then cried out in surprise and rushed forward, holding the white dove in her hands.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what had happened.

The white dove landed in Ling Lei's hands. Its red eyes seemed to glance at Ling Lei with a hint of relief, it cooed weakly twice, flapped its wings a couple of times, and then slowly collapsed into Ling Lei's arms.

"Xueyu..." Ling Lei cried out in anguish, cradling the dove in her hands, trying to help it stand, but the white-feathered dove remained motionless, seemingly dead.

Everyone rushed forward. Ge Xiaoyao moved the dove slightly; its feathers were still white, but were disheveled, clearly indicating it had died from exhaustion after a long flight. He sighed softly and shook his head gently.

"Ling Lei, don't get agitated, calm down!" Duo Mei supported Ling Lei's shoulders, repeatedly comforting her as she wept.

Ling Lei finally calmed herself, silently untying the bamboo tube from the dove's leg. Her lips moved slightly as if chanting some incantation. Only then did Ge Xiaoyao and the others notice a faint light emanating from the mouth of the bamboo tube, indicating it was sealed with magical power.

A white silk scroll was pulled from the bamboo tube by Ling Lei. Unfolding it, Ling Lei read it with tears in her eyes, then suddenly looked up and said, "Brother Ge, Sister Duo Mei, I must return to Cangmang Mountain immediately!"

"What's wrong, Ling Lei?" Duo Mei hurriedly asked.

Ling Lei's face showed anxiety, even disregarding the grief of Xue Yuge's recent death, and said, "Something has happened to my sect!" She then handed the white silk scroll to Duo Mei.

Duo Mei exclaimed in shock after reading it, "The Demon Realm?"

Ge Xiaoyao frowned slightly; he had never seen Duo Mei's face change so suddenly. He quickly asked, "What happened?"

He handed the corpse of Xue Yuge to Yu Lu beside him and took the white silk scroll from Duo Mei's hand. Four lines of text were densely written on the scroll, essentially stating that the Demon Realm had invaded Cangmang, and all disciples should return immediately.

Ge Xiaoyao had never heard of the Demon Realm, but judging from Duo Mei's tense expression, it must be some powerful demon. He immediately said, "Ling Lei, don't be anxious. Cangmang Mountain is powerful; even the most powerful demons can't wreak havoc on Cangmang in a short time! Duo Mei, what exactly is the Demon Realm?"

Duo Mei thought for a moment and said, "The Demon Realm is a legendary demon realm independent of the God Realm. The female demons there are extremely powerful, and even the God Realm is wary of them and dares not provoke them easily. However, they live alone in a corner of the Heavenly Realm and have always been one of 'I won't offend others unless they offend me.' How could they be enemies with Cangmang on Earth?"

Ling Lei was speechless and could only shake her head repeatedly.

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Since Linglei's sect is in trouble, Linglei should rush back to Cangmang Mountain. We absolutely cannot stand idly by! How about this..." He glanced at the dead white dove, sighed slightly, and said, "Since that white dove sent the message, I don't know how many days have passed. We should not delay. Let's set off now for Cangmang Mountain!"

At this moment, Tianxin said, "I'll pack up and leave immediately!"

Duomei nodded and said, "Linglei, although the Demon Realm is powerful, it is not a savage demon that indiscriminately kills innocent people. In fact, my mentor Zi Lingyan was also from the Demon Realm. She later descended to the mortal realm and entered Kunlun."

Only then did Ge Xiaoyao realize that he had never heard of the Female Demon Realm before. How could Duo Mei know about it? Moreover, such an alternative demon realm within the Heavenly Realm was something that mortals would never come into contact with, and those who knew about it must be extremely few. It turned out that Zi Lingyan was actually from the Female Demon Realm.

Ling Lei, reassured by Ge Xiaoyao and Duo Mei, calmed down a bit and thought for a moment before saying, "However, my master, Daoist Cangmang, has never had any dealings with the Heavenly Realm, let alone the Female Demon Realm. Why would they invade Cangmang Mountain?"

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Don't worry about that for now. We'll find out when we get to Cangmang Mountain! I think Mo Zhao will definitely receive the news. He still has three thousand Flying Dragon Army soldiers under his command, which should be able to hold them off for a while! Let's hurry, maybe we can still make it in time!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Fox Girl had already packed a few clothes and instructed the little demons to take good care of Qing Mountain before coming out. Ge Xiaoyao and the others didn't have much to begin with; all their necessities were in the Xuan Tian Shuttle. They immediately flew out of the cave.

Ge Xiaoyao summoned the white-headed divine eagle, allowing Yu Lu, Ling Lei, and Tian Xinqi to ride it, while he and Duo Mei used their true energy to fly through the air. They moved swiftly, traversing the clouds and mist.

However, Cangmang Mountain was far from Qingshan Mountain, and without resting, it took them over a day to reach its summit.

By the time they arrived, night had fallen, and the black, continuous mountain ranges resembled strangely shaped wild beasts, standing majestically on the earth.

Cangmang Mountain is a general name; in reality, it comprises twenty-one peaks, all named with the character "Cang." Each peak has a branch hall, inhabited by male and female disciples from various places. The main hall of the Cangmang Immortal Path is located on Cangmang Peak, the highest of the twenty-one peaks.

Cangmang Peak is the highest and most dangerous of the twenty-one peaks, making it difficult for disciples with lower cultivation levels to ascend to the main hall. Only those disciples who have cultivated to the point of being able to fly using magical artifacts can ascend to the Cangmang main hall.

Along the way, Ling Lei had already given Ge Xiaoyao a general overview of Cangmang Mountain. He learned that Cangmang had twenty-one peaks, and besides the main hall, there were twenty branch halls, each managed by a second-generation Cangmang disciple who trained third and fourth-generation disciples. The total number of disciples on Cangmang Mountain was no less than two thousand. Although it couldn't compare to Kunlun, it was still the largest immortal sect in the area.

Every autumn, the Cangmang Immortal Sect would gather outstanding disciples from each of the twenty peaks for the Cangmang Sword Tournament. One in a hundred would be selected to study under the master, Cangmang Daoist, at the main hall. Mo Zhao, Ling Lei, and Yan Qiang were among those chosen. Of course, Mo Zhao and Yan Qiang had connections with the Wei River Dragon King, while Ling Lei entered the main hall entirely on her own merit, making her the most skilled among her peers. However, she came from humble beginnings and was kind-hearted; in the Wei River Dragon Palace, she sacrificed herself to save Yan Qiang's life.

The origins of the Cangmang Daoist's master remain a closely guarded secret, unknown even to Ling Lei's uncles and aunts. Rumors circulate that he originated from the Divine Realm.

The night in Cangmang was as silent as ever, except for one striking difference: apart from the brightly lit main peak, Cangmang Peak, the other twenty peaks were shrouded in darkness. This stark contrast to the usual nighttime spectacle of illuminated peaks seemed eerie.

"Brother Ge, it must be that the Demon Realm has conquered many peaks. Our uncles, aunts, and fellow disciples have all been summoned to the main peak to defend the Cangmang Main Hall to the death!" Ling Lei said to Ge Xiaoyao, gazing at the distant lights of the peaks.

Ge Xiaoyao and his companions had traveled all the way to the Cangmang Mountain's territory, yet they hadn't encountered a single member of the Cangmang Immortal Path, let alone the so-called demoness from the Demon Realm. They secretly wondered if the message delivered by the white-feathered pigeon was true or false. After a moment's thought, they said, "Let's ascend Cangmang Peak tonight and assess the situation!"

The Cangmang Main Palace was built atop Cangmang Peak, a magnificent stone palace. Guided by Ling Lei, Ge Xiaoyao and the others slowly descended before the palace in the darkness.

"Who?" A cold sword aura suddenly rose from the ground, heading straight for Ge Xiaoyao, who was flying at the forefront. Then, more than ten armored flying dragons suddenly took flight from the ground—the flying dragon army of the Wei River Dragon Palace.

"Mo Zhao, it's me… Ge Xiaoyao!" Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly called out, casually waving his ancient divine power to sweep the flying sword away.

"Mo Zhao… how is Cangmang Mountain?" Ling Lei, without waiting for the white-headed eagle to land, jumped down from its back and asked Mo Zhao.

The one who unleashed the gleaming flying sword and commanded the Flying Dragon Army was none other than Mo Zhao, the former Crown Prince of the Wei River Dragon Palace and now the Wei River Dragon King. Seeing a dark shadow flash across the sky, he assumed it was the female demons coming to investigate. He immediately released his flying sword and ordered the Flying Dragon Army to attack, only to be surprised to find it was Ge Xiaoyao, his elder sister Ling Lei,

and the others. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "So it's Brother Ge! Sister… are you all alright? Cangmang Mountain is safe for now!" Hearing that Cangmang hadn't fallen into the hands of the female demons, Ge Xiaoyao and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Ge Xiaoyao landed and looked around. He saw a stone platform of over ten acres, neatly lined with hundreds of Flying Dragon soldiers. Mo Zhao, clad in golden helmet and armor, stood at the front of the army, holding a gleaming sword.

"We're fine. Mo Zhao is becoming more and more majestic!" Ge Xiaoyao smiled and walked towards Mo Zhao.

At this moment, Ling Lei landed, followed by the white-headed eagle, its wings flapping as it set off Ban Duoyu and Tianxin.

"Brother Ge, you've finally arrived! If you had been a day or two later, we might not have been able to hold on!" Upon seeing Ge Xiaoyao, Mo Zhao's initial joy turned to worry about the situation, and he said anxiously.

"Don't worry! With me, Ge Xiaoyao, here, no demon can harm Cangmang Mountain!" Ge Xiaoyao said confidently. Ling Lei was his beloved wife; no matter what, he had to reassure everyone first.

In fact, even if Ge Xiaoyao hadn't said that, his arrival had already given Mo Zhao and the others a sense of security.

"Mo Zhao, where is Master?" Ling Lei rushed over, asking.

Mo Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master is traveling the world and has not yet returned! The Demon Realm launched a massive attack on the mountains for some unknown reason, capturing nine peaks in just three days. Over a hundred disciples of our sect have been killed or wounded, and even our Seventh and Eighth Uncles suffered severe internal injuries. As a last resort, the Supervisor Uncle issued a summons to bring back all the disciples who were training outside!" He took a breath and continued, "Furthermore, the junior disciples of the other eleven peaks were dismissed, leaving only two hundred or so brothers with higher cultivation levels. Together with the twelve Uncles, we concentrated our strength to guard the main hall, which is how we managed to stop the Demon Realm's three-day attack! And now..." He pointed to the Flying Dragon Army behind him, "To protect our sect, I also transferred two thousand Flying Dragon Army soldiers from the Wei River!"

Ge Xiaoyao and the others had gathered in front of Mo Zhao, listening quietly to his story.

Mo Zhao sighed, "However, in these three days of fierce fighting, not only have hundreds of members of the Cangmang Sect, including my six senior uncles, been killed or wounded, but even my two thousand Flying Dragon Army has been reduced to only six hundred. If you hadn't come, I really wouldn't have dared to say whether we could have survived until tomorrow!"

Chapter 260 The Calamity of Cangmang (Part 2)

"What? Master hasn't returned yet... Did you report the matter of Cangmang to him?" Ling Lei asked.

Mo Zhao nodded and said, "We sent out a golden light transmission, but for some reason, Master hasn't returned yet!"

"Then why is the Demon Realm attacking Cangmang Mountain?" Ling Lei asked.

Mo Zhao said, "According to the demon leading the attack, they have their eyes on the blessed land of Cangmang Mountain! Alas, there's no way to reason with these demons!"

"Blessed land? Heh... If we're talking about blessed lands, Kunlun Mountain is the best in the human world. Why don't they go and seize Kunlun, but instead come to seize Cangmang Mountain!" Ge Xiaoyao laughed.

"The Kunlun Mountains are teeming with experts, so these female demons naturally wouldn't dare to run rampant there. However, regardless of heaven or earth, the law of the jungle prevails. If we in Cangmang truly can't hold out, we'll have no choice but to hand over this vast territory to them!" Mo Zhao said.

"Hmph, absolutely not! Even if we all die in battle, we will not let that female demon seize the Cangmang Immortal Path!" Ling Lei said bitterly.

Mo Zhao sighed, glanced at the darkness below the mountain, and said, "Brother Ge, sisters, the female demon hasn't attacked the mountain yet. Let's go inside the hall to talk!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Mo Zhao then ordered the Flying Dragon Army and his Cangmang disciples to be on high alert before leading Ge Xiaoyao and the others towards the magnificent Cangmang Main Hall.

The mountaintop consisted of more than ten platforms, connected by steps or floating bridges. These stone platforms ranged in size from tens of acres to three to five acres, but they were the only way to enter the Cangmang Main Hall from any direction. It was several hundred feet from the platform occupied by Mo Zhao and the Flying Dragon Army to the Cangmang Main Hall. Ge Xiaoyao saw that, apart from the Cangmang Main Hall, hundreds of Cangmang disciples and various strange birds and beasts had gathered on the other four platforms, all seemingly there to protect the Cangmang Main Hall.

The Cangmang Main Hall comprised approximately a hundred spacious rooms, all constructed of heavy stone. Majestic, towering blue stone boulders stood guard at the entrance, each doorway occupied by a massive blue lion, taller than two people, its bared fangs and sharp teeth exuding an intimidating aura.

Ge Xiaoyao, leading Duomei, Linglei, and Yulu, walked behind, while Mo Zhao and Linglei led the way. Upon arriving at the main hall's entrance, Cangmang disciples slowly opened the doors for them.

"Looks like they're truly terrified of those witches; they only dare to crack the door open!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, but his curiosity only grew stronger. "What kind of people are those witches in the Demon Realm?"

Entering the Cangmang Main Hall, Ge Xiaoyao realized that Cangmang Mountain's foundation was indeed vast, with thousands of disciples and numerous halls; on the surface, it even seemed more bustling than Kunlun Mountain. However, he understood that for someone of Mo Zhao's caliber to be ranked among the top experts of Cangmang, it was clear that the strength of the Cangmang Immortal Path wasn't that great, at least not comparable to Kunlun, where even a random fourth-generation disciple could dominate a region.

The once magnificent and beautifully decorated main hall of Cangmang Mountain had now become a place for the wounded. Hundreds of injured Cangmang disciples crowded into the hall, their expressions sorrowful, adding a desolate atmosphere to the already somber atmosphere.

As soon as Mo Zhao entered the hall, familiar Cangmang disciples surrounded him, bombarding him with questions. "Have those witches attacked again?" "What's going on outside?" "We need to go out too, let's fight that female demon!"

"Don't panic, everyone, the witches haven't attacked yet. Where is the gatekeeper?" Mo Zhao ignored the Cangmang disciples' questions and shouted loudly.

Immediately, someone pointed out that the gatekeeper was in an inner room healing the wounded disciples. Mo Zhao immediately led Ge Xiaoyao and the others towards the quiet room opposite the main hall.

At this moment, the gazes of these Cangmang disciples immediately shifted to Ling Lei, Ge Xiaoyao, and the others. Many disciples were already whispering amongst themselves, "Who is that young man? He seems to have a very high cultivation level!" "Are the girls who came with Princess Yanqiang all from the Weishui Dragon Palace? They're so beautiful..."

Ge Xiaoyao and the others followed Mo Zhao through the main hall, now filled with wounded soldiers, and entered the small inner chamber. Inside, an elderly man with a full beard and hair was sitting cross-legged, healing a young disciple suffering from internal injuries.

Out of politeness, Ge Xiaoyao would not reveal his true strength to investigate, but just by observing the young disciple's irregular breathing and pale golden complexion, he could tell that the disciple's internal injuries were severe, having damaged his dantian and qi sea. Even if the injury healed, he would never be able to cultivate immortal techniques again.

"Such vicious methods!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, recalling how nearly half of the young disciples who had come from that hall were so badly injured. He couldn't help but feel resentful. "Although it's not a complete extermination, it has fundamentally wiped out the living forces of Cangmang Mountain. The witches of the Demon Realm are truly ruthless!"

Mo Zhao approached the old man and softly called out, "Master Uncle..."

The old man closed his eyes and concentrated, a wisp of white mist emanating from his palms pressed against the young disciple's back. It was clear that his true energy was merging into the young disciple's inner energy, clearing the meridians blocked by blood.

"Ah..." The old man exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and removed his palms from the young disciple's back. At this moment, two Cangmang disciples entered from outside and helped the injured disciple away.

"Mo Zhao, what's the situation outside?" the old man asked.

"It's alright, the witches haven't shown any signs of attacking yet!" Mo Zhao replied respectfully.

“Master Uncle, I’m back!” Ling Lei said, her voice filled with respect.

The old man turned around and saw Ling Lei, Ge Xiaoyao, and the others with Mo Zhao. He smiled kindly at Ling Lei and said, “It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back…” Then he turned to Mo Zhao and pointed to Ge Xiaoyao, Duo Mei, Yu Lu, Tian Xin, and the others, saying, “And these ladies are…”

Mo Zhao hesitated. Although he recognized Ge

Xiaoyao, he did not recognize Duo Mei and the others. Before Mo Zhao could introduce them, Ge Xiaoyao laughed heartily and said, “Senior, I am Ge Xiaoyao, a wanderer of the martial world.” He then pointed to the three women, “These three are my confidantes! Hearing that Ling Lei’s sect was in trouble, we came together to help, hoping to lend a hand!”

Mo Zhao then said, “Brother Ge, ladies, this is Master Uncle San Shui of Cangmang Mountain!” Master

San Shui nodded, glanced at Ge Xiaoyao and the others, and then suddenly bowed.

Ge Xiaoyao and the others didn't understand why this San Shui Zhenren, as a senior, would bow so respectfully upon their first meeting. "Senior, you mustn't do this..." Ge Xiaoyao couldn't care less and immediately released his ancient divine power to support San Shui Zhenren.

Mo Zhao and Ling Lei also said, "Master Uncle, what are you doing?"

Supported by Ge Xiaoyao's divine power, San Shui Zhenren couldn't bow down, but he said to Mo Zhao and Ling Lei, "What do you know? The one who can save Cang Mang is this very expert before us. As the supervisor of Cang Mang, what is it compared to the lives of two thousand disciples and the thousand-year foundation of Cang Mang!" He still forced himself to bow, saying, "Cang Mang is in danger, and with the help of an expert, even if you take my life, I will not complain. This expert... please accept San Shui's bow!"

Everyone was stunned when San Shui Zhenren said this. Ge Xiaoyao sighed, still not unleashing his ancient divine power, but instead said to San Shui Zhenren, "I, Ge Xiaoyao, am no great master, merely a junior. I cannot accept such a grand gesture from a senior. Furthermore, Ling Lei is my beloved wife, and Mo Zhao is my brother. It is only right that I, Ge Xiaoyao, help their sect in times of trouble! Senior, please do not insist any further! Otherwise, I will truly have no face to remain in Cangmang Mountain!" As he spoke, his ancient divine power gradually increased, gently helping San Shui Zhenren to his feet.

From Ge Xiaoyao's perspective, although San Shui Zhenren was old, his cultivation was not weak, comparable to that of Yin San. However, he had overseen Cangmang Mountain for hundreds of years, and his prestige in Cangmang Mountain was second only to the Daoist Master Cangmang. Upon seeing him and witnessing such courtesy, Ge Xiaoyao felt a surge of goodwill and even greater respect for him.

Helpless, Master Sanshui stood up and sighed softly, saying, "Since that's the case, I'll leave this greeting for now. After we defeat the demoness, I, Sanshui, will lead the two thousand disciples of Cangmang to thank Brother Ge."

"Senior is too polite. Thank you is unnecessary... I, Ge, have done my best. If we can truly defeat that demoness and her horde, we can have a few more drinks at the celebration banquet!" Ge Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Everyone laughed. Ling Lei stepped forward, took Master Sanshui's arm, and whispered a few words in his ear. Master

Sanshui chuckled and said to Ge Xiaoyao, "Alright, at the celebration banquet, we'll drink until we're drunk!" Although Ling Lei's words were very low and no one else heard them, they were not hidden from Ge Xiaoyao. Ling Lei said to San Shui Zhenren, "He is now my husband, and Cangmang Mountain is his second Mount Tai. It is only natural for him to come and help Cangmang repel the enemy. There is no need to be grateful!" Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "That's good. Senior San Shui, we have just arrived in Cangmang and have not yet seen any enemy. We wonder what kind of background that demon from the Demoness Realm is and how it is so powerful?"

Master Sanshui said, "Just seven days ago, these witches appeared out of nowhere, and I've never heard of them before. They claimed to be from the Heavenly Demon Realm, wanting to use Cangmang Mountain as a base. If we didn't comply, they threatened to raze Cangmang Immortal Path to the ground!"

"How hateful!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed. "In that case, they're a shameless bunch of demons. We certainly can't be lenient with them!"

"Alas! Brother Ge..." Master Sanshui sighed, "But these witches are all highly skilled and incredibly ruthless. In just five days, they seized all ten peaks of Cangmang Mountain! We had no choice but to retreat to Cangmang Peak and concentrate all our strength to defend the Cangmang Main Hall! If our Cangmang Senior Brother were here, he would never have allowed these female demons to act so recklessly. But he's nowhere to be found, and we don't know where he is. If he returns one day, I, Sanshui, bearing the heavy responsibility of overseeing the gate, will be unable to protect the Cangmang lineage. How will I face him then?" "!"

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Senior Sanshui, don't be anxious. When those female demons attack, I'll have a go at them!"

Sanshui Zhenren said, "From the moment Brother Ge entered, I learned that you possess extraordinary skills and your cultivation is comparable to that of a celestial being. Your ability to help Cangmang repel the enemy is truly a blessing for Cangmang and a blessing for Sanshui!"

Just then, Mo Zhao suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! The Flying Dragon Army reports that those female demons are coming again!"

Everyone's faces tightened, but they all looked at Ge Xiaoyao, clearly regarding him as the only one who could save Cangmang Mountain.

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush. Let's go out and see. Mo Zhao... you keep the Flying Dragon Army and the Cangmang disciples calm. Make sure to hold the gates tightly, form ranks, and meet the enemy. Don't panic!"

Mo Zhao agreed and went out first.

At this time, in the main hall, the wounded Cangmang disciples also learned that the female demons were attacking again and volunteered to fight alongside Cangmang, but were dissuaded by the Cangmang disciples who were guarding them. Amidst the chaos, Mo Zhao and San Shui Zhenren emerged, and everyone quickly made way for them.

"Fellow disciples of Cangmang..." San Shui Daoren pointed to Ge Xiaoyao and Duo Mei, saying, "These are experts who have come to help Cangmang repel the enemy. With them here, those witches' schemes will certainly fail. You must all remain calm and focus on recovering..."

San Shui Zhenren's words elevated Ge Xiaoyao and the others to a very high status, instantly quelling the chaos.

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly; San Shui Daoren was indeed adept at calming people. He immediately said, "Rest assured, everyone. Ge Xiaoyao and the others will definitely defeat that female demon and ensure Cangmang's safety!"

With that, San Shui Zhenren led the way, and Ge Xiaoyao and the others rushed out of the hall.

Chapter 261 Cangmang

's Strange Calamity (Part 2) The brightly lit Cangmang Mountain was now filled with shouts of battle.

The night was enveloped by the dazzling light emitted from the towering torches and various magical artifacts imbued with true energy, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of fireworks during the Spring Festival.

However, despite the fierce fighting, Ge Xiaoyao noticed that on the dozen or so platforms, the Cangmang disciples and the Flying Dragon Army were orderly and well-organized, forming tight formations to block the attacks of the graceful yet eerie black shadows in the sky. These shadows weren't numerous, with about ten on each of the ten platforms, totaling no more than a hundred, but they appeared to be highly skilled, each unleashing more than ten magical artifacts imbued with true energy.

"So Cangmang Mountain suffered heavy losses after all. Even the weakest of these witches is comparable to Cangmang's prized disciples, like Ling Lei!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Of course, these witches were nothing to him.

The Cangmang disciples and the Flying Dragon Army were almost powerless against the witches' attacks, left only with simple defensive maneuvers, occasionally letting out a scream as someone fell. However, his position would soon be taken by someone else, and the battle would continue.

Mo Zhao rode a golden, gleaming, two-winged dragon, wielding a gleaming sword, constantly issuing commands for various formation changes to better counter the witches' attacks.

"Mo Zhao has indeed matured a lot, and he's very skilled in troop deployment. It seems he's quite secure in his position as the Dragon King of the Wei River!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself with secret delight, his lightning-fast eyes slowly scanning the entire battlefield, searching for his prey.

Ge Xiaoyao had led troops before, experiencing battles involving tens of thousands of soldiers fighting to the death; this battle of a few hundred or a thousand was nothing to him. However, habits formed in war are hard to break: capturing the leader first and multitasking. "Senior Sanshui, the female demons are coming on strong; we must first dampen their spirits!" Ge Xiaoyao said to Sanshui while searching for his prey.

“Alright!” Master Sanshui replied, “Brother Ge, the disciples of Cangmang and all the fellow immortals who came to our aid are here. You can mobilize them as you see fit!”

Ge Xiaoyao smiled inwardly, “This old fellow really trusts me. But with this much strength, I’m afraid we won’t even last until dawn!” He thought for a moment, then said to Duomei and the others, “Senior Sanshui, Duomei, Yulu, Linglei, and Tianxin, each of you find a weaker battle formation to support. Don’t be stingy with your true energy, and don’t aim to kill many demonesses. Just engage them and find a way to minimize our losses! Leave the rest to me!”

Everyone agreed and each found a target to join the battle. Master Sanshui also had several third-generation disciples of Cangmang by his side, all of whom were skilled fighters with considerable cultivation. Although Yulu, Linglei, and Tianxin were far inferior to Ge Xiaoyao and Duomei in cultivation, they were still capable of fighting those demonesses and wouldn’t be defeated quickly. As soon as they joined the battle, the completely passive situation of the Cangmang side was greatly alleviated. Several powerful cultivators withstood most of the witches' attacks, allowing the Cangmang disciples, who were arrayed in formation, to focus their attacks without worry, greatly increasing their offensive power. A stalemate quickly formed between the two sides.

Ling Lei, facing her sect's peril, was ready to fight to the death. Although she had practiced frequently with her Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword since acquiring it, she had never had a chance to use it. This was a golden opportunity; with a delicate shout, the Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword, driven by her true energy, released a sky full of crystalline blue light, instantly transforming into over a hundred golden obsidian phantom swords. With a single strike, one of the weaker witches was pulverized.

Duo Mei, with the highest cultivation, was no match for the witches; within a few rounds, some were dead, others wounded. San Shui Zhenren also unleashed his best skills, engaging the witches in fierce combat.

The addition of these newcomers not only alleviated the pressure on the Cangmang disciples but also greatly boosted their previously low morale. Some Cangmang disciples were already shouting, "Defeat the witches, defend Cangmang..."

The battle situation gradually improved, but Ge Xiaoyao's brows furrowed more and more. Her intuition told her that this was not the true strength of the witch army; even stronger witches were yet to come.

Soon, she noticed more than ten faint female phantoms floating out of the darkness, hiding behind the witches and advancing. These phantoms were extremely alluring, their curves seemingly devoid of any clothing, yet their waists were incredibly flexible, even able to bend backward.

Ge Xiaoyao saw one of the female phantoms already floating behind a witch towards Ling Lei, and at that moment, Ling Lei's Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword was fired again, a point of starlight striking the witch. This was precisely when the power of her Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword was at its weakest, undoubtedly the best opportunity for the phantom witch to attack.

The witch struck by the Seven Star Golden Sword's starlight screamed and fell, revealing the illusory witch. In an instant, a crimson orange light enveloped the surroundings, and a flash of red light shot out swiftly, aiming directly at Ling Lei, who was gloating over having killed another witch and was completely unprepared.

"Ling Lei...be careful!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted urgently, unleashing his ancient divine power, which swept towards Ling Lei.

Everything happened so suddenly; by the time Ling Lei reacted, it was all over. The red light exploded before her, Ge Xiaoyao's ancient divine power deflecting the aftershocks and delivering a heavy blow to the faint illusory witch.

With a soft, muffled groan, the illusory figure suddenly solidified, its snow-white skin leaving all the men present speechless. Whether from surprise at the sudden solidification or mesmerized by the exquisite beauty of the body, they all seemed to cease their attack and defense.

A long, golden head of hair whipped back, revealing a fair and delicate face, its expression a mixture of surprise and embarrassment.

"Hmph... you vixen, how dare you plot against this princess!" Ling Lei, though a woman, didn't hesitate much. She unleashed a burst of true energy, pulling the Seven Star Golden Sword sharply towards the snow-white skin.

The vixen, weakened by Ge Xiaoyuan's ancient divine power, had lost the magic that allowed her to conceal herself. Seeing Ling Lei's Seven Star Golden Sword hurtling towards her with unparalleled sharpness, she could no longer dodge. Her eyebrows furrowed, she bit her lip, closed her eyes, and began chanting. Her body floated on the water, lying sideways, as peaceful as a sleeping beauty.

"Ling Lei, get out of the way... This witch is about to self-destruct her primordial spirit!" San Shui Zhenren had also noticed the witch's actions and exclaimed in alarm. It turned out that he and his fellow disciples had encountered a similar situation in the battle a few days prior, and three of his disciples had been injured by the witch's self-destruction of her primordial spirit. Therefore, he anxiously shouted to warn Ling Lei.

Upon hearing this, Ling Lei's delicate body retreated sharply. At the same time, Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Lotus True Power, mixed with ancient divine power, enveloped the witch from afar.

At this moment, the other witches had obviously also noticed the situation. Two of them immediately cried out, "Princess... no!" and rushed forward. One witch, in a faint, ethereal form, pointed her slender finger, flicking out two streams of true power to pull back the Seven Star Golden Sword. However, she hadn't expected that the Seven Star Golden Sword, under Ling Lei's control, possessed a certain intelligence. Once its attack was blocked, it shot towards her even faster.

The poor, ethereal witch, trying to save her companion, felt a chill in her chest before she could even react; the Seven Star Golden Sword had pierced her body.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The witch who followed was instantly killed by the Seven Star Golden Sword, her snow-white body falling to the ground. However, the witch wounded by Ge Xiaoyao, though seemingly having recited the incantation to self-destruct her primordial spirit, did not explode.

Even the witch herself was surprised; the self-destruction of the primordial spirit spoken of by the ancient Taoists was actually a common incantation in the female demon realm, called the Great Sacrifice Incantation. Because the female demon realm exists independently of the Heavenly Realm, it is still frequently harassed by the Heavenly Realm or other demon realms. Witches are often captured, and those who, unwilling to suffer humiliation or in desperation, wish to perish together with their enemies, recite this Great Sacrifice Incantation. Its explosive power is equivalent to the self-destruction of the primordial spirit in the mortal immortal path. However, the difference is that the self-destruction of the primordial spirit in the mortal immortal path completely dissipates and melts the primordial spirit into incomparably powerful true energy to harm the enemy. This Great Sacrifice Spell, on the other hand, only splits the primordial spirit. If there is a chance or the help of a master, it can be restored.

Of course, the Scattered Water True Man was unaware that the few witches who had chanted the Great Sacrifice Spell a few second-generation master disciples of Cangmang Mountain had actually injured them, but a wisp of their souls had not dissipated, and they would regain their witch bodies in the future.

"Could it be that this spell has failed?" the witch thought to herself. Suddenly, she saw the Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword rushing towards her turn away and pierce another witch. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the Great Sacrifice Spell had failed. At this moment, she knew that the strength of Cangmang Mountain had suddenly increased, and must have invited a mysterious master to help them. She immediately stood up in the void, not wanting to linger in battle, and chanted a spell to summon the many witches to retreat instantly.

Seeing the demonesses retreat, a cheer erupted atop Cangmang Mountain. No Cangmang disciple had ever been so excited; the sorrow, melancholy, and resentment of the past few days vanished instantly. "We finally defeated the demonesses!" some Cangmang disciples shouted.

"Brother Ge…we owe you all so much today!" San Shui Zhenren strode up to Ge Xiaoyao, his voice trembling with emotion.

Ge Xiaoyao simply smiled and said, "Senior, you're too kind. Although these demonesses have temporarily retreated, their strength hasn't diminished much. They will surely return in the future. We must not let our guard down!"

"Brother Ge is right!" Mo Zhao, covered in blood from both demonesses and Flying Dragon Army soldiers, was overjoyed. Today's battle had exceeded his expectations; he had only lost seven Flying Dragon Army soldiers but had killed three demonesses. For him, who had originally planned to fight to the death, this was a delightful surprise. "Brother Ge, I think we should press our advantage and wipe out those witches!"

"This kid, he's had too many defeats, he's already daydreaming after just a taste of victory!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, then said, "No, those witches haven't suffered much damage, and with our current strength, we're more than capable of defense than offense. Besides, we don't know their true strength, whether there are even more powerful demons hiding! Furthermore, we don't know where they're hiding, how can we act rashly?!"

Mo Zhao chuckled, realizing he'd spoken a little inconsiderately, but he always regarded Ge Xiaoyao as an all-powerful elder brother, so he didn't take Ge Xiaoyao's rebuttal to heart. He said, "Brother is right!"

At this moment, Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Yu Lu, Tian Xin, and others also gathered. Duo Mei had single-handedly killed three witches, while Ling Lei had also killed two. Although Yu Lu and Tian Xin hadn't killed any witches, they had saved many Cang Mang disciples. Hearing Ge Xiaoyao's words, Duo Mei said, "These witches are too powerful. Without a well-thought-out plan, we shouldn't act rashly!"

San Shui Zhenren nodded and said, "Mo Zhao, give the order: the Cangmang disciples will be divided into three groups to rest and keep watch. Bring the injured disciples back to the main hall; I will heal them!" Then, he said to Ge Xiaoyao, "Brother Ge, you have rendered a great service to Cangmang this time. Let's return to the main hall first and then discuss our next steps."

Chapter 262 Peace and Prosperity (Part 1)

Cangmang Mountain's Cangyin Peak was once one of the twenty branches of the Cangmang Immortal Path, located on the left side of Cangmang Mountain.

Ge Xiaoyao traveled stealthily, flying over two mountain peaks until he finally saw the mountaintop and building resembling a square seal, as described by San Shui Zhenren. Dim lights flickered, and it seemed many graceful women were moving about.

"Yes, this is it! These witches must be hiding here!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, quietly descending. Just now, he had discussed with San Shui Zhenren, Ling Lei, Mo Zhao, Duo Mei, and others that he would personally go to investigate the witch's true strength and determine the next steps in the attack and defense plan. At the same time, the Cang Mang disciples were on high alert to prevent the female demon from launching a sneak attack.

Ge Xiaoyao had already become invisible and landed quietly, so the patrolling witches naturally did not notice his arrival.

"Hehe, so this is what they call the Female Demon Realm... it really is all women, and they all have devilish figures!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself as he looked at the graceful women walking back and forth.

These witches were all dressed in tight white, and their long hair, whether blue, red, or black, was always flowing down their shoulders. With each movement, a fragrant breeze wafted by, making them extremely alluring. However, Ge Xiaoyao immediately realized that these patrolling witches were probably low-level witch warriors, and their cultivation was not very high, perhaps even no higher than Ling Lei and the others. "Sigh, after fighting all night, we only managed to kill about ten low-level witches like these, while the Cangmang Immortal Path lost over a hundred people. A one-to-ten ratio of casualties, even with the large number of Cangmang disciples, we can't withstand these two crushing defeats!" Ge Xiaoyao sighed inwardly. "It seems that if we really fight, it will probably be a lose-lose situation. I need to carefully investigate the true intentions of these witches. Wouldn't it be better if we could resolve the conflict with words?"

Ge Xiaoyao was new to Cangmang Mountain and didn't know the real reason. Moreover, he had no connection with Cangmang Mountain, and the deaths and injuries of those Cangmang disciples had nothing to do with him. Therefore, he didn't have the same hatred for these witches as Mo Zhao and the others.

Cangyin Peak is square like an ancient seal, and the buildings here are also as regular as a seal. Looking at the buildings made of white stone, Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "I am not very proficient in the immortal arts of Cangmang Mountain, but the architecture is ingenious. It can be considered a scenic spot in Cangmang!"

He did not care about the witches walking back and forth, and chose a white stone square hall in the middle and walked over. Generally speaking, that is where the leader is located.

The same white stone gate was engraved with two large characters—"Cangmang" (meaning "vast and boundless"). Ge Xiaoyao used his wall-penetrating technique to easily pass through the gate.

Inside the main hall, four witches sat upright, the one in the center being the blonde witch Ge Xiaoyao had injured. Upon seeing the blonde witch's face, Ge Xiaoyao was taken aback and couldn't help but admire her. He hadn't clearly seen her face on the summit of Cangmang Peak, but now, upon closer inspection, he discovered that this witch was indeed a stunning beauty. Although she didn't possess the delicate fragility of Eastern beauties like Duomei, Linglei, Yulu, and Tianxin, her blonde hair, blue eyes, high nose, and delicate lips gave her the allure of a foreign beauty.

"Could she be an American girl?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Listening to the woman speak, he realized she spoke fluent Classical Chinese. Then he thought, this was the Shang Dynasty, and the Americas were still a wild and untamed land. How could such a beautiful woman appear here? He chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Who cares what kind of beauty she is? I'll find out more about her first!"

Ge Xiaoyao found himself a seat behind the blonde beauty. He swaggered over, sat down, and admired her slender, bony figure from behind, inhaling the fragrance emanating from her blonde hair. He thought to himself, "Heh, a feast for the eyes and a chance to gather information—a win-win situation!" His eyes, however, were fixed on the other three women.

All three were quite beautiful, especially the woman with blue eyes, but a slender and petite figure. Her breasts were full and firm, revealing a deep, white cleavage beneath her tight black dress, trembling with her breath, arousing desire. Just as

Ge Xiaoyao was enjoying the sight, he suddenly heard the blonde witch in front of him say, "The expert that Cangmang Mountain has invited is truly formidable. What should we do?"

The three women in front of her remained silent. After a long silence, a woman finally spoke up: "Princess, why don't we hide and wait for those experts to leave before launching a surprise attack on Cangmang Mountain and seizing Cangmang Peak!"

The witch princess shook her head slightly: "We don't have much time left. We've been gone for half a month since we descended from the Demon Realm. If we can't return to the Heavenly Court before the end of the month and ask the Jade Emperor for help, then the Demon King Rogers' plot to overthrow the Demon Realm will succeed!"

"Princess, is this the only path we can choose?" asked a petite beauty with blonde hair.

The witch princess said, "Yes, this is the only path we have. Besides, even if there were other paths, we don't have time to find them."

Another woman resolutely said, "In that case, Princess Haina, let me lead my sisters on one more charge. Even if we all perish, we must take Cangmang Peak!"

The other two women also said, "Yes... this concerns the safety of the witch realm. Bing'er, Shirley, and Slotita are all willing to sacrifice themselves for the witch realm."

Princess Haina fell silent, her brows furrowed, as if deep in thought. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Bing'er, Shirley, Slotita, don't be reckless. That person's divine power is too terrifying. Even I can't deal with him. If you go, you'll only be sending yourselves to your deaths!"

"What should we do?" Bing'er said anxiously. "Those Cangmang disciples think we're trying to steal their territory and even harassed us. Even if it means death... I, Bing'er, will send Princess Haina back to the Heavenly Realm!"

Princess Haina sighed and said, "The Queen once said that humans are pure and good, but I never expected those people to be so evil, even more evil than that demon Rogers... I really don't know if we can return to the Heavenly Court, meet the Jade Emperor, and ask him to send divine troops to save the Witch Realm!"

At this moment, the petite blonde beauty Slotita said, "Perhaps we haven't found their leader. Their leader certainly isn't as evil as they are! At the very least, we should try to reason with them! I might as well go to Cangmang Peak again and try to reason with their leader."

The beautiful, black-haired, blue-eyed Shirley suddenly said, "No, now as soon as they see us, they attack without even asking any questions. We have to fight back, and then we won't even have a chance to speak!"

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch Rogers, that demon king, devour the witches? Watch tens of thousands of sisters become that demon king's slaves?" Bing'er said anxiously.

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, and Princess Haina stepped out from behind him, slowly revealing herself. The four women were all startled. Bing'er, already frightened, had already attacked, a magical ribbon wrapping around Ge Xiaoyao. At the same time, Sherry and Slotita each conjured a magical sword, thrusting it at Ge Xiaoyao. Only Princess Haina remained motionless, whether from injury or her composure, it was unclear.

"Hehe, Princess Haina… no wonder you clashed with Cangmang, causing such a great disaster! It's because you were too impatient!" Ge Xiaoyao laughed, his ancient divine power naturally dispersing from within him, deflecting the magical ribbon and swords. At this moment, his figure truly appeared before the women.

"It's you?" Princess Haina exclaimed.

"It was she who injured the princess!" The magical ribbon that Bing'er had deflected with Ge Xiaoyao's divine power instantly transformed into three red ribbons flashing with red light, shooting towards Ge Xiaoyao again.

"Bing'er, stop!" Princess Haina shouted urgently.

Bing'er reluctantly stopped her magic and said to Princess Haina, "Princess, but he..."

Sherry and Slotita had already leaped up, blocking Princess Haina's path, each wielding a magic sword, staring at Ge Xiaoyao as if facing a formidable enemy.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled, arms crossed, "Four beauties, there's no need to be so tense. I, Ge Xiaoyao, have no ill intentions. If I truly had ill intentions, you would probably have perished long ago!"

"You...when did you come in!" Bing'er shouted.

Ge Xiaoyao turned his head, smiled slightly at her, and said, "Miss Bing'er, could you please be a little more polite? It's not very good to treat a guest like this!" Bing'er

was speechless for a moment, glancing at Princess Haina, who didn't react. She could only stomp her foot in anger, but her expression clearly softened somewhat.

"What a bunch of naive young women!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, then smiled and said, "Actually, I've been here for quite some time, sitting right behind Princess Haina. I heard everything you said!"

The four women looked on incredulously. Rostita exclaimed, "How is that possible?"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Anything is possible! You just don't believe it!"

Princess Haina then said, "You're a master invited from Cangmang Mountain. What exactly do you want?"

"To help you!" Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I heard everything you said! You want to use Cangmang Mountain to go to the Heavenly Realm and ask the Jade Emperor for help, right?"

The women nodded, their faces still showing disbelief.

"But you..." Bing'er said anxiously, then suddenly changed her mind when she saw Ge Xiaoyao, "But he's completely unreasonable..."

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, "You're so anxious, who can reason with you?"

Bing'er was speechless.

At this moment, Princess Haina stood up and bowed to Ge Xiaoyao, saying, "What this wise man says is true. We are from the Demon Realm. Because the Demon Realm was invaded by the demon Rogers, we had no choice but to go to the Jade Emperor's aid. However, we were attacked by demons en route and had no choice but to descend to the mortal realm."

Ge Xiaoyao nodded slightly, listening quietly.

Princess Haina continued, "We are pressed for time. We can only use the Heavenly Lotus of Cangmang Mountain to open the Heavenly Gate and enter the Heavenly Realm. But..." She hesitated for a moment, "Those Cangmang disciples, seeing our beauty, actually insulted us. We had no choice but to wipe out Cangmang!"

Ge Xiaoyao frowned, thinking to himself, "Truly, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. For disciples of the dignified Cangmang Mountain to do such a thing is indeed shameful!" He nodded and said, "What about those shameless Cangmang disciples? You can report this to Mo Zhao and San Shui Zhenren!"

Princess Haina shook her head and sighed. Bing'er, however, said, "Those shameless bastards have all been killed by me. Besides, once a battle begins, there is no room for argument."

Ge Xiaoyao immediately understood that this was all a misunderstanding. He secretly hated the despicable Cangmang disciples, thinking to himself, "Who told you to be so beautiful? Even I am tempted by you, let alone those lecherous beasts!" But after thinking carefully, he said, "Now that there are no witnesses left, and you killed first and injured so many Cangmang disciples, everyone in Cangmang regards you as the witch's enemies. I'm afraid that even if we make peace now, it will be difficult!"

Princess Haina and the three women bowed to Ge Xiaoyao and said, "Please, sir, find a way to help us. Once the Demon Realm is saved, we will repay you with generous gifts!"

Chapter 263 Peace and Prosperity (Part 2)

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Now you are already locked in a life-or-death struggle with Cangmang Mountain. How can it be resolved so easily? However, it is true that you are in trouble. Fortunately, Cangmang is not unreasonable. I will go back now and tell the gatekeeper of Cangmang Mountain, San Shui Zhen..." "Someone told me to see if he could forgive and forget, and help you out of consideration for the people of the Demon Realm!"

Princess Haina hurriedly said, "Thank you so much for your help, sir! Haina and the Demon Realm thank you in advance!" After a moment's hesitation, a slight blush appeared on her face, and she asked, "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Princess Haina, you don't need to be so polite. You should know that there are still more good people than bad in this world. My name is Ge Xiaoyao, and I'm not some kind of expert. You can just call me by my name!" After thinking for a moment, he added, "I can't go back empty-handed this time. The Cangmang disciples might not believe me just because I say it. Does your Demon Realm have any token that can serve as proof?"

Princess Haina thought for a moment, then took out a white jade statue of a beautiful woman from her bosom and said, "Brother Ge, this is my only token, the Demoness Pendant. Everyone in the Demon Realm respects the pendant. You can consider it a token!"

"Princess..." Upon seeing Princess Hena take out the Witch's Pendant, Bing'er, Sherry, and Rostita all showed surprise on their faces, with Bing'er even exclaiming.

Princess Haina blushed slightly and said, "It's alright. I believe Brother Ge is a man of his word. Besides, we have no other choice. I am already injured. Even if I could seize Cangmang Peak, I would be powerless to open the Heavenly Lotus with my magic. I would have to rely on Brother Ge's divine power to help me then!"

Seeing the three women's surprise, Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself that the Witch's Pendant must be an extremely important item in the Demon Realm. Haina's ability to use it as proof was enough to demonstrate her sincerity. He then said, "Don't worry, ladies. I, Ge Xiaoyao, consider myself a gentleman. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, I will definitely return the Witch's Pendant to you."

Bing'er, Shirley, and Slotita were slightly relieved. Bing'er said, "Brother Ge, since Princess Haina has given you the supreme treasure of the Demon Realm, you must not go back on your word. Otherwise, the entire Demon Realm will be..." "I'll go to the heavens and the underworld to get it from you!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Of course!" But in his heart, he secretly scoffed: "Is a mere jade pendant worth all this fuss?"

At this moment, Princess Haina's cheeks were still flushed with a peach blossom, making her flawless white face even more beautiful. She smiled sweetly at Bing'er and said: "Bing'er, you mustn't speak to Brother Ge like that! Whether this matter succeeds or not, Brother Ge will be a benefactor to our female demon realm!"

Ge Xiaoyao had roamed the sea of flowers for more than ten years and had seen countless women. His ability to read people was extremely advanced. Hearing Princess Haina's peach blossom face and the hint of affection in her words, he thought to himself: "What is this witch up to? Could this be her token of love?" However, he had just heard Princess Haina say that this witch's pendant could command the entire female demon realm, and judging from the tense expressions of Bing'er and the others, it seemed to be true. Regardless of what it was, he carefully put it away and said, "Since that's the case, it's settled. Ge Xiaoyao will return to Cangmang Peak now!"

"Wait..." Bing'er suddenly said, "It's not that Bing'er doesn't trust Brother Ge, but the Witch's Pendant is a treasure of the Demon Realm. We can't just let someone take it away without any proof... Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to the Monarch."

"Bing'er..." Princess Haina tried to dissuade him.

Bing'er glanced at Princess Haina and said solemnly, "Princess, this matter is of utmost importance. The conflict between the Demon Realm and Cangmang Mountain was caused by me. If Bing'er's life can resolve the grievances between the two sides, Bing'er is willing to die so that the princess will not lose the Witch's Pendant!"

Ge Xiaoyao understood Bing'er's meaning after a moment's thought and immediately smiled and said, "Miss Bing'er, it's not yet time to resolve the grievances with your life. Besides, the Witch's Pendant is only temporarily entrusted to me, Ge Xiaoyao, as a token. If you still don't believe in my sincerity, I don't need to bother with this matter."

"You..." Bing'er was speechless, but then sighed and said softly, "Brother Ge, I know your feelings for the Demon Realm, but Brother Ge, why don't you also leave something as a token so that we can have an explanation to the monarch in the future?"

Ge Xiaoyao laughed loudly and said, "Alright! In that case, how about I, Ge Xiaoyao, use this Pangu Axe as collateral?"

"Pangu Axe?" Everyone was stunned and exclaimed in surprise.

Ge Xiaoyao understood that his actions were not only for the sake of the Demon Realm but also for the sake of Cangmang Mountain. When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured, and judging from the strength of both sides, Cangmang's losses would be greater. Therefore, he was willing to use the Pangu Axe as a hostage. He hesitated, and a flash of cold light appeared; the Pangu Axe was already in his left hand.

Princess Haina and the others clearly knew the name of the Pangu Axe, and upon seeing the gleaming giant axe, they were all astonished. Ge Xiaoyao smiled and placed the axe on the table, saying, "So, is Miss Bing'er satisfied now?!"

Bing'er nodded, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, saying, "Bing'er has offended my benefactor, but I had no choice. Please forgive me! If this matter can be accomplished, Bing'er is willing to serve as Brother Ge's slave to repay your kindness!" It turned out that although Princess Haina was eager to use Cangmang to reach the Heavenly Palace, Bing'er still had doubts after Ge Xiaoyao handed over the Demoness's Pendant based on just a few words. Seeing that Ge Xiaoyao had actually used a supreme magical treasure to counter her, it was enough to prove that he was an upright and honorable person, and she was immediately convinced.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Bing'er, there's no need for this. I'm helping the Demon Realm, and at the same time, I'm helping Cangmang Mountain. If everyone were to repay kindness like you, wouldn't I, Ge Xiaoyao, become a petty person who seeks repayment for favors?" As he spoke, he unleashed his ancient divine power and gently helped Bing'er up.

Princess Haina's face flushed even more. In fact, Bing'er's words were exactly what she wanted to say. You see, the Demoness's Pendant could not only command the Demon Realm, but it was also a token of love between her and her future husband, which could only be given to the one she loved. Although she had been injured by Ge Xiaoyao, she was also impressed by his divine power and already had some admiration for him. Just now, seeing Ge Xiaoyao speak so frankly and with such a heroic spirit, she secretly fell in love with him, which was why she gave the Demoness's Pendant to Ge Xiaoyao as a token. She hadn't expected Bing'er to force Ge Xiaoyao to exchange goods, and Ge Xiaoyao actually left behind the supreme magic weapon, the Heaven-Opening Axe, his sincerity evident to heaven and earth, which deeply moved her. However, seeing Ge Xiaoyao's repeated refusals, as if he had seen through her intention to offer herself, she felt uneasy but couldn't speak.

Ge Xiaoyao helped Bing'er up and took out a jade bottle from his robes, saying to Princess Haina, "This is my secret healing medicine. Taken internally and applied externally, Your Highness's injury will surely heal within a day!"

Princess Haina thanked him and accepted the jade bottle, her face burning hot.

"Could this witch really have fallen in love?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but didn't dwell on it, smiling slightly, "I will bring back news in two days at the latest. Please wait patiently, Princess Haina and the ladies!" With that, he turned and strode away.

The witches watched Ge Xiaoyao's retreating figure in silence, as if in a dream.

After a long while, Bing'er glanced at the Pangu Axe on the table and smiled at Princess Haina, "Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations on finally finding your Mr. Right!"

Princess Haina blushed, but then she saw Bing'er, Sherry, and Slotita covering their mouths and giggling. She realized that Bing'er had been testing Ge Xiaoyao, and that Bing'er's words about being a servant were actually for her sake. She immediately retorted coldly, "What nonsense! The Witch's Pendant is just a token; we'll get it back!"

“Hehe, once the Witch’s Pendant is given away, how can it be taken back? Besides, I think Ge Xiaoyao is upright, kind, highly skilled, and good-looking…” Bing’er laughed.

Princess Haina angrily said, “Bing’er, if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of the rules of the realm!” Although she was angry, she was actually feeling sweet inside, and Ge Xiaoyao’s image lingered in her mind.

“Alright… I know, Princess!” Bing’er said softly, but winked at Sherry and Slotita, and the three of them chuckled.

Princess Haina was not angry at first, but said, “Alright, you all go back! Take good care of your sisters, I need to heal my injuries!”

Bing’er, Sherry, and Slotita agreed and went out to leave, leaving only Princess Haina alone. She walked to the table, looked at the Pangu Axe that split the heavens, and sighed to herself, “Could this really be fate?” Ge Xiaoyao’s image involuntarily surfaced in her mind again, and her face immediately felt hot and burning.

The medicine was personally concocted by Ge Xiaoyao after comprehending its effects within the Supreme Profound Skill; it was specifically designed to treat various internal injuries and was extremely effective. Within moments of taking it, a cool sensation penetrated deep into her internal organs, and Haina felt incredibly comfortable. She slowly poured the concentrated white liquid from the jade bottle onto her snow-white hands, gently touching her snow-white chest. She felt a warm heat penetrate her very bones, instantly relieving the burning pain. She picked up the jade bottle given to her by Ge Xiaoyao, noticing a small inscription of the character "Ge" on it. "Ge…", she murmured, a sweet feeling welling up inside her.

However, after the brief sweetness, thinking of the strict and ancient rules of the Demon Realm, she sighed softly, a faint sorrow rising in her heart, "Will he bring me happiness in a year?"

The Demon Realm had a very special rule: demonesses within the realm could freely choose their husbands, but only for a year; after becoming pregnant, they had to return to the Demon Realm to give birth. Because the witches of the Demon Realm all possess a special constitution, they can only give birth to female infants, so there will never be any men in the Demon Realm. Of course, witches must leave the Demon Realm to choose a husband; men are not allowed to enter.

However, thinking of the Demon King Rogers who invaded the Demon Realm, Haina felt a chill run down her spine. "The Demon King Rogers is even more ruthless than a beast. I wonder how my mother and the monarch are doing?!"

Just as Princess Haina was lost in thought, Ge Xiaoyao had already returned to Cangmang Mountain.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and Cangmang Mountain remained peaceful. The verdant mountains in the distance were faintly visible in the mist, and the rising sun shone through the clouds, casting a diffused orange-red glow in the east. Squirrels in the forest greedily drank the dew, their small eyes occasionally glancing warily around. From the forest, the occasional melodious chirping of birds could be heard.

The dozen or so bluestone platforms atop Cangmang Mountain had been cleaned of corpses by the Cangmang disciples, washed with clean water, and were smooth and spotless, without a trace of the fierce battle of the previous night. Cangmang Mountain was a sacred ground of the Cangmang Immortal Path, where blood and corpses were not permitted.

"Brother Ge..." As soon as Ge Xiaoyao landed, Mo Zhao greeted him from afar, "Have you found those witches?"

Chapter 264 Peace and Prosperity (Part 2)

"Of course... who is your Brother Ge!" Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, "Come on, let me go see Senior Sanshui!"

Mo Zhao's face lit up with excitement: "Really, that's great!"

In the main hall of Cangmang, in the same inner room, True Person Sanshui had finished healing the many injured disciples and was resting with his eyes closed. Duo Mei, Yu Lu, and Tian Xin had been led by Ling Lei to the guest rooms in the back hall to rest.

Hearing Mo Zhao's footsteps, True Person Sanshui opened his eyes and smiled, "Brother Ge is back!"

"Reporting to the gatekeeper uncle, Brother Ge has found the witches' trail!" Mo Zhao said first.

San Shui Zhenren remained calm, seemingly knowing that finding them or not made little difference. Given Cangmang Mountain's current weakened state, it would be difficult to mount an effective attack.

"San Shui Zhenren, this junior not only found the witches, but also brought back news that might be good for Cangmang Mountain and the Demon Realm!" Ge Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" San Shui Zhenren frowned slightly, glancing up at Ge Xiaoyao, who had a faint smile in his eyes.

"Brother Ge, what news is it... Could it be that the demonesses have retreated?" Mo Zhao asked.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled, "How could that be? Sit down, I'll explain in detail!"

The three had just sat down when San Shui Zhenren instructed Mo Zhao to close the door before turning to Ge Xiaoyao, "Brother Ge, what exactly happened?"

Ge Xiaoyao didn't answer, but instead took out the witch's jade pendant from his robes and handed it to San Shui Zhenren.

"What is this?" San Shui Zhenren examined the witch's pendant repeatedly, then looked up at Ge Xiaoyao.

"The Witch's Pendant, the token of the Witch's Princess's command over the Witch's Realm!" Ge Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"Really?" Mo Zhao asked, taking the jade pendant from San Shui Zhenren and examining it carefully.

"It should be real. I don't think they have any reason to lie to me!" Ge Xiaoyao said confidently.

At this moment, San Shui Zhenren frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I don't know much about the Witch's Realm. The person I know best here is Miss Duo Mei, who came with Brother Ge. How about we ask her to take a look?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "That would be perfect!"

Mo Zhao stood up and said, "I'll go. Sister Ling Lei and the others are in the back hall!"

San Shui Zhenren and Ge Xiaoyao both nodded, and Mo Zhao opened the door and went out.

"Brother Ge, regardless of whether this Witch's Pendant is real or fake, what exactly is the information you just mentioned?" San Shui Zhenren asked.

Ge Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then looked directly at San Shui Zhenren. "Senior San Shui, are you aware of the reason for the conflict between those witches and Cang Mang?"

San Shui Zhenren asked in surprise, "What other reason could there be for those witches to forcibly occupy Cang Mang Mountain, wipe out the Cang Mang Immortal Path, and bully others with their strength?"

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled, "Senior San Shui, your words are surprising. Those witches originally wanted to use the Cang Mang Mountain's Heavenly Lotus to ascend to the Heavenly Palace and ask the Jade Emperor to send troops to rescue the Witches' Realm. However, before they could enter Cang Mang Mountain, they were insulted by the Cang Mang disciples, which angered them and led to a large-scale attack on the mountain."

"Ah...is that so?!" Master Sanshui exclaimed in shock and anger, "Hmph, which Cangmang disciple is so rebellious, committing such a despicable act, even implicating the sect!" After a moment's thought, he continued, "Brother Ge, Cangmang Mountain has been recruiting disciples extensively in recent years, inevitably leading to the influx of some scoundrels. If any disciple has truly committed such an evil act of harassing innocent women, Cangmang will certainly not let them off lightly. However, those witches are cunning, and Brother Ge should not completely believe their words. Do they have any evidence?!"

Ge Xiaoyao had anticipated this question from Sanshui and immediately smiled, "Senior Sanshui, please do not be angry. Several days have passed, and those wicked disciples have all been killed by the witches in their rage. As for evidence, there is none!"

Master Sanshui sighed, "In that case, it is hard to guarantee that those witches used treacherous schemes to slander the reputation of Cangmang Mountain!"

“Senior Sanshui, now that the two sides are fighting each other, the Demon Realm has suffered dozens of casualties, while our Cangmang has suffered over a hundred. If this fight continues, both sides will likely be severely weakened. As you just mentioned, Cangmang Mountain has many disciples, and it's hard to guarantee that someone won't commit such a heinous act. If this gets out, it will likely damage Cangmang Mountain's reputation!” Ge Xiaoyao said.

Sanshui Zhenren nodded but remained silent. It was clear that while he couldn't be certain that there were no scoundrels among the Cangmang disciples, he was unwilling to admit that the Cangmang Mountain disciples would commit such a disgraceful act.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled again and said, "Senior Sanshui, the leader of those witches is Princess Haina from the Demon Realm. According to her, the Demon Realm is currently being invaded by the Heavenly Demon King Luogesi, and the situation is critical. She had no choice but to lead her witches to the Heavenly Palace for rescue, but they were ambushed on the way and had no choice but to fall to the mortal world. That's why she wanted to pass through the Cangmang Mountain's Dengtian Lotus Mountain to reach the Heavenly Palace and ask the Jade Emperor for help. They originally wanted to ask politely, but the Cangmang disciples insulted them, which led to the killing and attack on the mountain. Moreover, the one who was insulted and injured first was Princess Haina's subordinate Bing'er. She also said that if she could reconcile with Cangmang Mountain, she would be willing to die."

True Man Sanshui listened silently, nodding from time to time.

Ge Xiaoyao continued, "Now, Princess Haina and the others are urgently seeking reinforcements and haven't returned. The Demon Realm is in imminent danger. If I hadn't gone to gather information, they would have fought to the death, willing to perish together to seize the Heavenly Lotus." He pointed to the Demoness's Pendant and said, "Since I was willing to act as a mediator between the two sides to help resolve their grievances, Princess Haina entrusted me with the Demoness's Pendant, the Demon Realm's most precious treasure, as a token to meet with Senior Sanshui."

"If that's really the case, then it's all a misunderstanding. Alas! Why didn't those demonesses tell me sooner!" Sanshui Zhenren sighed, clearly having taken Ge Xiaoyao's words to heart.

Ge Xiaoyao continued, "Back then, both sides were locked in a bloody battle; how could they possibly have had a chance to talk things out? However, according to this logic, Cangmang Mountain was at fault first, and the Demon Realm's subsequent killings were also wrong. Both sides are at fault, and after a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties, with no clear victor. However, if the two sides remain hostile, Cangmang Mountain's millennia-old foundation will likely be destroyed. Princess Haina will be unable to ascend to the Heavenly Palace to seek reinforcements, and the Demon Realm will inevitably fall into the hands of demons—a tragedy neither side can bear. What's the point?"

San Shui Zhenren nodded; every word Ge Xiaoyao spoke struck him deeply. How could he not want to preserve Cangmang Mountain's millennia-old foundation?

“Senior Sanshui, now that Princess Haina has come to negotiate peace with the Witch's Pendant as a token, why doesn't Cangmang Mountain take this opportunity to do her a favor, accumulating immense merit and saving the people of the Demon Realm! As for the despicable deeds of the Cangmang disciples, let's not mention them; it won't damage Cangmang's reputation!” Ge Xiaoyao added.

Sanshui Zhenren thought for a moment before saying, “If it's truly as Brother Ge says, then Cangmang Mountain is certainly not unreasonable or resorting to evil means. However, as the sacred Cangmang Mountain, we must be cautious. What if that witch is treacherous and takes the opportunity to attack the mountain and destroy the temple? Wouldn't we be utterly defeated?”

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, “Senior Sanshui bears the responsibility of overseeing the sect, and I understand your concerns. But given the current situation, we should err on the side of caution. Besides, the Witch's Pendant is a treasure of the Demon Realm, not something to be taken lightly.”

Just then, Mo Zhao… Having invited Duo Mei and others, Duo Mei examined the witch's pendant carefully and said, "It should be genuine. My master, Zi Lingyan, also had one back then; it's the command item of the witch realm!" Only

then was Master Sanshui somewhat relieved. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Ge, since that's the case, if our Cangmang Mountain doesn't agree to peace talks, it would seem like we're too petty. However, if you allow those witches to enter the Cangmang Holy Land and activate the Heavenly Lotus, I have one more condition."

Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly asked, "What condition? Please tell me, Senior!"

Master Sanshui smiled... He said, “Although I bear the responsibility of overseeing the sect, I am not the sect leader. Such an important matter should, in principle, require the approval of Senior Brother Cangmang. However, I cannot contact him now, and the matter is urgent, so I have no choice but to make this decision on my own. Just in case, I must leave several witches as hostages! If those witches truly intend to go to the Heavenly Palace to fetch reinforcements, we can then request the Jade Emperor to send celestial beings to the mortal realm as witnesses, and we can then release those witches!”

Ge Xiaoyao said, “These conditions are not excessive; I think they should agree!” After thinking for a moment, he added, “Disperse…” "Senior Shui, since we've made this decision, we must also make sure that all the disciples of Cangmang understand why we've suddenly made peace, to prevent some disciples who are unaware of the truth from acting impulsively and causing trouble again, which would be difficult to handle later!"

San Shui Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "Of course, Brother Ge, don't worry!"

At this moment, Mo Zhao and Ling Lei were both puzzled to see the fierce battle suddenly turn into peaceful mutual assistance. Ling Lei immediately asked, "Brother Ge, what exactly happened? Why did we suddenly make peace?"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and then explained the whole story in detail.

Everyone sighed in dismay upon hearing this. Ling Lei, with her fiery temper, immediately roared, "The Cangmang Mountain has produced such a disgraceful disciple! It's a disgrace to our sect! She should be killed!"

Duo Mei, however, said, "So that's how it is. I was initially suspicious that these witches were using the Demon Realm as a cover to commit atrocities. It seems I was wrong about them! The Demon Realm exists independently within the Heavenly Realm, and has always been peaceful and undisturbed. It's worrying that they've suffered such a calamity!"

Ge Xiaoyao suddenly had a thought and said, "Duo Mei, the Demon Realm has suffered such a calamity, and Senior Zi Lingyan..." "She's from the Demon Realm, shouldn't we inform her too?"

Duo Mei thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "To be honest, although Master is from the Demon Realm, she seems to have some unspeakable grudges and entanglements with it. Besides, she's currently in seclusion, so it's best not to disturb her!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, stood up, and said, "In that case, let's go to Cangyin Peak again and convey Senior Sanshui's message to see if they agree!"

Everyone nodded and watched Ge Xiaoyao leave. Duo Mei followed Ge Xiaoyao out and whispered, "Brother Ge..."

"What's wrong, Duo Mei?" Ge Xiaoyao asked.

"Hmm..." Duo Mei hesitated, then finally said, "Brother Ge, be careful..."

"What's wrong with Duo Mei today? Why can't you just say it directly!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, then laughed, "Be careful of what? Do you think those witches can eat me?" He patted Duo Mei's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! I'll be back soon! Take good care of Ling Lei and the others!"

Duo Mei nodded, watching Ge Xiaoyao's departing figure gradually shrink and shrink in the air until it disappeared, then she suddenly sighed softly.

In fact, Duo Mei knew in her heart that the witch's pendant was the love token of the princess of the female demon realm. She also knew the special rule of the female demon realm. She wanted to remind Ge Xiaoyao, but she didn't know how to start. It wasn't that she wouldn't allow Ge Xiaoyao to have another love interest, but no matter how deeply the princess of the female demon realm loved Ge Xiaoyao, she would always leave him after a year. Duo Mei didn't want to see Ge Xiaoyao troubled and hurt by love...

How could she tell Ge Xiaoyao about this?

"Alas! I hope that the Demon Princess won't make the same choice as Master Zi Lingyan!" After a long while, Duo Mei sighed in her heart.

Chapter 265 The Immortal Slaughtering Formation (Part 1)

Cangmang Peak.

More than a thousand Cangmang disciples stood in neat rows, and more than a hundred Demonesses from the Demon Realm also formed a square formation. Under Ge Xiaoyao's mediation, the two sides officially reconciled, and the fierce battle that had lasted for more than ten days finally came to a satisfactory end.

According to the agreement reached, Princess Haina of the Demon Realm would lead her subordinates Sherry, Slotita, and ten Demonesses warriors from the Heavenly Lotus to the Heavenly Palace, while Bing'er would stay in Cangmang Mountain with the remaining seventy Demonesses warriors as hostages. Bing'er returned Ge Xiaoyao's Pangu Axe, carrying it with both hands. However, when Ge Xiaoyao tried to return the witch's pendant to Princess Haina, she smiled charmingly and politely refused, saying, "Brother Ge, keep this witch's pendant as a memento!"

Ge Xiaoyao was puzzled, and seeing the unparalleled beauty in Princess Haina's smile, he was unsure whether to return the pendant or accept it.

Seeing Princess Haina's deep affection for Ge Xiaoyao, Duomei thought for a moment and stepped forward to whisper to him, "Brother Ge, it's rare for Princess Haina to show such affection, please accept it!"

Princess Haina gave Duomei a grateful look and couldn't help but say, "Sister Duomei, Brother Ge is truly blessed to have a beauty like you!"

Duomei smiled and said, "Princess Haina, I hope the Demon Realm is peaceful and that you can return to the human world soon!" Her words, though brief, carried a deeper meaning. Princess Haina blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Sister Duomei!"

Dazzling, multicolored light shone from over ten stone platforms on Cangmang Mountain, forming a gigantic, five-colored lotus flower in mid-air, which slowly rose.

It turned out that the reason Cangmang Mountain was built in this way was to create such a lotus flower that ascends to heaven. Princess Haina, along with Shirley, Slotita, and others, ascended, their graceful figures standing atop the lotus flower formed by the gathered light, like celestial beings, slowly disappearing into the endless blue sky.

"What a magnificent lotus flower that ascends to heaven!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed, glancing around. He saw that apart from San Shui Zhenren, who smiled slightly, everyone else wore expressions of both surprise and delight. It should be noted that even many Cangmang disciples, apart from San Shui Zhenren, had never seen the wonder of this lotus flower.

Bing'er and over seventy female demon warriors were still stationed on Cangyin Peak, but the area around them was now protected by a powerful array created by San Shui Zhenren, who had gathered the true power of all the Cangmang disciples. Without someone of high strength to break through it, they would certainly not be able to escape.

The dust had settled, and the Cangmang disciples' faces were filled with joy. That very night, Master Sanshui hosted a celebratory banquet to reward the heroes, with fireworks soaring into the sky. As Ge Xiaoyao was halfway through his drinks, a Cangmang disciple excitedly reported that the Cangmang Ancestor had returned to Cangmang Mountain.

"Good! Good! This time, the Cangmang calamity was largely thanks to Brother Ge's rescue!" The Cangmang Ancestor, with his white hair and youthful face, and his otherworldly air, immediately praised Ge Xiaoyao upon their meeting.

"Master… Brother Ge was invited by me!" Ling Lei stepped forward, pouting. From this sweet remark, it was clear that she had been one of the Cangmang Ancestor's most prized disciples back then.

The Cangmang Ancestor chuckled and said, "Very well... Ling Lei has rendered meritorious service in rescuing the sect, so she should be promoted one level... to become the Cangmang Guardian Fairy, ranking below the Sect Master. What do you say?"

Ling Lei thought for a moment before saying, "I don't want to be any Guardian Fairy! I want to travel the world with Brother Ge, that's much more interesting!"

The Cangmang Ancestor laughed and said, "Alright... alright... whatever makes you happy!"

Ge Xiaoyao had not expected that the dignified Cangmang Ancestor would have such a kind temperament. He immediately smiled and said, "Master Cangmang is knowledgeable and experienced. Do you know about the Demon Realm?" He then recounted in detail how the Demon Realm princess wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace to ask the Jade Emperor to send troops to rescue her.

After listening, Cangmang Daoist frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ge, to be honest, I just returned from the Heavenly Palace. At this time, the Heavenly Realm is also suffering from the chaos of the Demon Realm, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to fully rescue the Demon Realm. Although, given the relationship between the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Palace must send troops to rescue them no matter what, it is unlikely that they can completely drive away that Demon King Rogers. Maintaining the Demon Realm's invincibility is already quite good."

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and asked, "How come the Heavenly Realm is also suffering from the chaos of the Demon Realm?"

Cangmang Daoist looked at everyone and said, "At this time, the ten thousand-year cycle has arrived, and the Demonic Path is reborn. When I am about to wreak havoc on the Three Realms, this is just the beginning!"

Everyone was shocked and felt a chill in their hearts, as if they could all feel the chaotic danger of the demons running rampant.

Just then, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly heard Jiang Ziya's voice, "Brother Ge, where are you?"

Ge Xiaoyao was slightly startled, realizing that the Cangmang Daoist had seen him. He immediately smiled and said, "Brother Ge, is that Jiang Ziya talking to you?" Before Ge Xiaoyao could answer, he immediately asked, "Brother Jiang, is your eastern expedition against King Zhou of Shang going smoothly?"

It turned out that this Cangmang Daoist was extremely skilled in cultivation and had many friends, including Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya's voice rang out, "So it's Fellow Daoist Cangmang. The Tongtian Sect Master has set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation in Fengming Mountain before Sishui Pass, intending to fight the righteous immortals to the death! I also felt my strength was insufficient, which is why I asked Brother Ge and Duomei to come and help. If Brother Cangmang has the time, you might as well join in the fun!"

Daoist Cangmang chuckled and said, "When did Fellow Daoist Jiang become so polite? Since it's the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, we who seek immortality and cultivate the Dao should naturally go and see it!"

Ge Xiaoyao then said, "Brother Jiang, let's go back now!"

Jiang Ziya said, "Brother Ge... you can stay at Sishui Pass with Fellow Daoist Cangmang and Junior Sister Duomei. Let Linglei and the others stay at Cangmang Mountain! Their cultivation is relatively low." "Sishui Pass is now teeming with demonic experts; their arrival might be fraught with danger. Besides, Cangmang's immortal aura is vibrant and his Taoist magic profound, perfect for their cultivation!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, then smiled at Cangmang Daoist. Seeing Cangmang Daoist nod, he said, "Alright! The three of us will set off immediately, hoping to witness the power of that so-called Immortal Slaughtering Formation!"

Linglei, Yulu, and Tianxin, knowing that Jiang Ziya didn't want them to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, all looked displeased. Linglei even pouted, "Brother Ge, Master, what Immortal Slaughtering Formation? Isn't it just a trick played by the demonic sects? I, Linglei, will go and try it out..."

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Linglei, didn't you hear Brother Jiang Ziya say that you'd be in danger there?"

"I'm not afraid of any danger!" Linglei stomped her foot and said defiantly.

"Hehe..." Cangmang Daoist chuckled, "You may not be afraid of any danger, but your brother Ge and I are worried about you! Alright... Linglei, you haven't been back to Cangmang Mountain for a long time, so take these girls and have a good time here for a few days. The scenery of Cangmang Mountain is quite nice!"

Linglei looked displeased and remained silent in a huff.

Cangmang Daoist chuckled again and said, "Since that's the case, I'll have your Uncle Sanshui teach you the exquisite sword technique of the Cangmang Immortal Sword, how about that?"

"Really?" Linglei's eyes widened, her anger turning to joy.

"Of course it's true, when have I ever lied?" Cangmang Daoist said.

"Good!" Linglei smiled, but said to Tianxin Fox Girl and Linglei, "My two sisters, the Cangmang exquisite immortal sword is incredibly powerful. While they go to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, we'll learn the exquisite immortal sword here! Once our cultivation improves, we won't be afraid of any danger!" Tianxin

and Linglei both nodded, their faces beaming.

Seeing Ling Lei's attitude change so quickly, San Shui Zhenren sighed and shook his head with a wry smile, "Senior Brother Cang Mang, you've fallen for this little girl's trick again!"

Cang Mang Daoren chuckled and said, "How could I not know she was bluffing me? But after this experience, she has matured a lot, and it's time to pass on the Exquisite Immortal Sword to her!"

Everyone laughed, while Ling Lei lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

The celebration banquet continued, and Ge Xiaoyao saw that Cang Mang Mountain was filled with joy. Ling Lei, Tian Xin, Yu Lu, and others were all smiling, their peerless beauty secretly captivating countless Cang Mang disciples. Only Duo Mei, though smiling, occasionally frowned slightly, seemingly preoccupied.

After the banquet, everyone was drunk. Ge Xiaoyao used his ancient divine power to expel the alcohol, leaving himself slightly tipsy, but when no one was around, he summoned Duo Mei.

The mountain breeze was gentle and refreshing, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of various mountain flowers and dew.

Ge Xiaoyao and Duomei stood side by side atop Cangmang Peak, gazing at the distant, undulating green mountains.

Ge Xiaoyao took a deep breath and said, "This Cangmang Mountain is truly full of spiritual energy... No wonder the Cangmang Immortal Path has been able to create its world here for a thousand years. Although it lacks the domineering aura of Kunlun, it possesses the carefree spirit of immortals..."

Duomei pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yes... Actually, choosing a place like this to live in for a long time wouldn't be bad!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, voicing his inner question, "What's wrong, Duomei? You seem to have something on your mind?"

"Something on my mind?" Duomei smiled sweetly, her bright and charming eyes looking at Ge Xiaoyao, "It should be Brother Ge who has something on his mind!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled wryly, "What do I have on my mind?!"

"Brother Ge... to be honest... do you have any feelings for Princess Haina from the Demon Realm?" Duomei asked seriously.

Ge Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be clueless, "Princess Haina? What feelings do I have?"

Duomei smiled sweetly, staring at Ge Xiaoyao, "Really no feelings?"

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head: "No..." He added, "I helped them because the Demon Realm was invaded by the Demon King, and a ceasefire between the two sides would also benefit Cangmang Mountain!"

"Of course I know that!" Duomei laughed, then pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Ge, don't you know that the Witch's Pendant has other symbols?"

"What other symbols? Isn't it just that it can command the Demon Realm? I don't want to be the commander of the Women's Army!" Ge Xiaoyao laughed, taking out the Witch's Pendant and handing it to Duomei, saying, "If you want to be, I can give you the Witch's Pendant!"

Duomei snorted and pushed Ge Xiaoyao's hand away, saying, "I don't care! Don't you really know that besides being able to command the Demon Realm, this Witch's Pendant is also a token of love for the Demon Realm princess?"

"Huh?!" Ge Xiaoyao was startled. His hand, which had been resting on Duo Mei's shoulder, slipped down, and the witch's pendant in his hand almost fell to the ground. "Duo Mei, what did you say? A token of love?"

Duo Mei seemed quite pleased with Ge Xiaoyao's expression, smiling sweetly, her eyes filled with a hint of schadenfreude as she nodded.

"Could it be... that Princess Haina confusedly chose me as her husband?" Ge Xiaoyao was somewhat incredulous. Although he was captivated by Princess Haina's beauty—what man isn't lustful?—he hadn't really considered falling in love. Only now did he understand why Princess Haina's eyes had looked so strange when she gave him the witch's pendant.

Duo Mei chuckled, but said, "Brother Ge, actually I think Princess Haina is quite nice! You don't need to be so nervous. Besides, it's a good thing for us to have more sisters. Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and Tian Xin won't be jealous of you!"

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head, wanting to object, but hearing Duo Mei's words, he put on a stern face, coughed heavily, and thought for a moment before saying, "You're right... Since Princess Haina has feelings for me, why should I, Ge Xiaoyao, hurt her heart!"

"You..." Duo Mei didn't expect Ge Xiaoyao to agree so readily, and was stunned and angry, but then she laughed instantly, "Brother Ge, I just realized that you're really shameless!"

The mountain wind blew by, carrying Ge Xiaoyao and Duo Mei's laughter, which drifted far away.

Chapter 266 The Immortal Slaughtering Formation (Part 2)

Before Sishui Pass, Phoenix Cry Mountain.

A bright white river winds around the mountain, irrigating countless ancient trees and forests, and also creating deep valleys and dangerous peaks.

In the north there are mountains, where the phoenix often cries. This mountain, named after the phoenix, is also known locally as the Mountain of Spiritual Beauty, teeming with all sorts of strange birds and beasts, and overflowing with rare flowers and precious herbs. Yet, at this moment, not a single small animal roams the mountain, nor can a single bird sing.

"Brother Jiang, where is the Immortal Slaughtering Formation?" These were Ge Xiaoyao's first words upon seeing Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya was dressed in a bright yellow Taoist robe inlaid with gold, wearing a purple cloud crown, and unicorn boots, riding a blue ox, looking every bit the imposing Taoist marshal. He was accompanied by a group of men and women, all clad in golden helmets and silver armor, wielding gleaming weapons. Among them were several other individuals in ordinary clothes, their weapons a diverse array. Among them were also people Ge Xiaoyao recognized: the Taiyi Zhenren of the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain and his disciple Nezha.

"Brother Ge, Fellow Daoist Cangmang, Junior Sister Duomei, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation is currently located in Phoenix Cry Mountain, which is our only route to attack Sishui Pass!" Jiang Ziya laughed, pointing towards Phoenix Cry Mountain surrounded by four peaks, and continued, "Phoenix Cry Mountain has four peaks, namely Phoenix Fall, Phoenix Soar, Phoenix Drink, and Phoenix Peck. The Tongtian Sect Master stole the four treasure swords that Ancestor Hongjun used to guard against demons and monsters. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal Piercing Sword, the Immortal Trapping Sword, and the Immortal Severing Sword are placed on the four mountains. Whenever a living being crosses the mountain, it can trigger the sword energy of the four swords, slaying any creature, whether human, beast, or bird. They are incredibly powerful!"

Daoist Cangmang and Duomei both showed surprise. They both knew that these four treasure swords were forged by Ancestor Hongjun according to the heavens to suppress monsters and subdue demons. Their power was incomparable. When the four swords were combined, they became Chaos Sword Energy, invincible in the Three Realms.

Ge Xiaoyao had never heard of the power of these four swords and scoffed, "I thought it was some kind of Immortal Slaughtering Formation, but it's just four swords. Even if these swords are powerful, they're still inanimate objects. How can they possibly harm us, so many living people with hands, legs, heads, and brains!"

Hearing Ge Xiaoyao's words, some praised him, some sighed, and others scoffed, thinking he was just a naive newcomer showing off his arrogance.

Jiang Ziya chuckled, about to speak, when a distant, ancient voice rang out, "What a living person with hands, legs, and brains! To speak like this in the face of Hongjun Ancestor's four divine swords, truly admirable in its sharpness and courage!"

"Master Yuanshi..." Jiang Ziya, along with Duomei, Taiyi Zhenren, Nezha, and the other Kunlun disciples, all beamed with joy. Looking up at the sky, they saw three white-haired elders slowly descending before them amidst auspicious clouds.

"Jiang Ziya pays respects to Master, and to Seniors Zhunti and Jieyin!" Jiang Ziya hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Taiyi Zhenren, Duomei, and others also stepped forward to pay their respects.

The visitors were none other than the Kunlun Patriarch, the Chan Sect Leader Yuanshi Tianzun, and the equally powerful Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin.

"Hehe, no need for formalities, no need for formalities..." Yuanshi Tianzun laughed, but first addressed Ge Xiaoyao, saying, "Young brother, you are a person of great fortune to have uttered such words. You will surely achieve immeasurable merit in the future."

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "This humble one, Ge Xiaoyao, greets Senior Yuanshi. I was just speaking carelessly earlier

. Senior is too kind!" "Don't flatter me," Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Ordinary immortals have long heard of the fame of these four swords. Even before seeing the sword formation, they are already terrified. How could they possibly face them head-on and defeat them? Young brother, you are not afraid of their reputation. You spoke of a living person facing a dead sword and revealed the secret to breaking the formation. Isn't that innate comprehension and great fortune?"

Those who had previously scorned Ge Xiaoyao's words immediately looked at him with new respect upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words.

Yuanshi Tianzun then introduced Zhunti Daoist and Jieyin Daoist to the immortals. Everyone greeted them politely and exchanged names. "Ziya, your contribution to this campaign against King Zhou of Shang is immense. You even managed to persuade the Tongtian Sect Ancestor to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation and fight to the death; your merit is immeasurable!"

Ge Xiaoyao, seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhunti Daoist, and Jieyin Daoist were all immortal masters a generation higher than Jiang Ziya, yet they too were drawn to the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, gained a new perspective on it. "It seems this Immortal Slaughtering Formation is truly a powerful formation; otherwise, how could it have attracted Master Chan, and even brought Zhunti and Jieyin as helpers!"

Jiang Ziya replied, "Master, you flatter me. In fact, besides the brave and skilled soldiers of Xiqi, there is another person who deserves great credit in Ziya's campaign against King Zhou!"

"Oh? Who is it? What was his contribution?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

Jiang Ziya pointed at Ge Xiaoyao and said, "It is indeed Brother Ge Xiaoyao. Back then, the Western Qi army was largely hindered by the demonic magic of the Jie Sect, unable to advance. It was Brother Ge Xiaoyao who risked his life, luring away

the Jie Sect demons under the pretext of destroying the Shang Dynasty's national foundation, thus allowing our army to conquer cities and plunder smoothly." Yuanshi Tianzun exclaimed in surprise, then looked Ge Xiaoyao up and down, saying, "So that's how it is! I was wondering why the Tongtian Sect's ancestors sent their subordinates, the Three Demons of Qilian, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the Four Guardians, instead of helping the Shang army resist the enemy." Why did he travel so far and wide? It turns out that Brother Ge had rendered meritorious service in subduing the demon! He then asked, "Has the Shang Dynasty's national lineage been destroyed?"

Ge Xiaoyao replied, "The Shang Dynasty's national lineage has been destroyed. I obtained a lotus seed from the Zhou Dynasty's imperial lineage, which I have now hidden in a safe place. I can take it out when needed."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "Good, good... Brother Ge's assistance to Zhou in overthrowing Zhou is invaluable! Ziya, in the future, Brother Ge's name will be on the Investiture of the Gods!"

Jiang Ziya nodded in agreement.

Ge Xiaoyao's heart stirred, and he said, "Senior Yuanshi, it is not that I, Ge Xiaoyao, have made any merit, but rather it is the work of fate. I, Ge Xiaoyao, am naturally carefree and unrestrained. If I were to be conferred a godhood, it would probably disgrace the divine name. It would be better to let me roam freely outside the Three Realms!"

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Ge, you have had many extraordinary encounters, which cannot be restrained by the divine name. So be it... However, I have one more thing to say to Brother Ge, and you will remember it well!"

Knowing that Yuanshi Tianzun possessed all-encompassing abilities, Ge Xiaoyao immediately said, "This junior humbly requests your guidance, senior."

Yuanshi Tianzun then said, "Brother Ge, although you possess extraordinary talent and great fortune, you must remember that extreme strength leads to breakage, and extreme prosperity leads to decline. Like the sun at its zenith, it will inevitably fall. At that time, retreating from the rapids will open up a vast new world for you!"

Ge Xiaoyao seemed to understand something from Yuanshi Tianzun's words, but it was difficult to grasp. He decided to remember it for now and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Yuanshi. Ge Xiaoyao has remembered it!"

Seeing that her master seemed to value Ge Xiaoyao highly, Duo Mei was overjoyed. Her beautiful face immediately attracted the attention of many immortals, after all, these cultivators were men too!

At this moment, Jiang Ziya said, "Reporting to Master Yuanshi, all the disciples of my Chan Sect and fellow Daoists from all sides have now gathered, totaling 318 people stationed in various locations. When should we break the formation? Please instruct us, Master!"

Yuanshi Tianzun thought for a moment and said, "There is no rush. At this moment, the four precious swords have just emerged from the world, and their sharpness is at its peak. We will not enter the formation for now. After three days, when the swords' sharpness has faded, it will not be too late to break the formation!"

At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren said, "Master, we have a large number of people. When we break the formation, should we split into groups to attack ?" "Break it? We can arrange it in advance so that all of you can get to know each other and cooperate better!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "That's good. As Brother Ge just said, 'The living break the dead sword.' Since my formation has four swords, let's divide into four groups, and each group can elect one person as the leader! Zhunti, Jieyin, and I will not enter the formation. We will protect you from outside with golden light. If anyone is injured, we can provide support!"

Everyone agreed, and Jiang Ziya gave the order. The immortals automatically formed four groups.

Immediately, Jiang Ziya, Taiyi Zhenren, Sanbao Daoren of Xuandu Mountain, and Bixia Xianzi each became the leaders, organizing four armies to break the formation. They familiarized themselves with each other and discussed how to break the formation.

Ge Xiaoyao, Duomei, and Cangmang Daoren naturally joined Jiang Ziya's army. Their target was the main sword of the formation, which was also the most powerful Zhuxian Sword.

Accompanying them were Lei Zhenzi, the adopted son of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, whom Ge Xiaoyao had impersonated years before; Yang Jian, the three-eyed man; and twenty third-generation disciples of Kunlun.

After introductions by Jiang Ziya and Duo Mei, Ge Xiaoyao became acquainted with everyone. The group then discussed how to obtain the Zhuxian Sword to break the formation, but Ge Xiaoyao went out alone and went to find Taiyi Zhenren's team.

Upon seeing Ge Xiaoyao arrive, Master Taiyi smiled and said, "Brother Ge, it seems you've had many fortunate encounters since we parted at Qianyuan Mountain. Your cultivation has increased several times over!"

Ge Xiaoyao quickly replied, "Back then, I owe my success to Senior Brother Taiyi for gifting me immortal dates, immortal spring water, and a precious sword. I will never forget your kindness!"

Master Taiyi hurriedly said, "Brother Ge, you're too kind. It's all thanks to your own talent and good fortune. My gifts were merely tokens of hospitality and are nothing in comparison!" He carefully examined Ge Xiaoyao, then frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ge, forgive my impertinence, but have you comprehended the secrets of the Dragon-Slaying Blade?"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I've come to visit Senior Brother Taiyi precisely because of the Dragon-Slaying Blade!"

"Oh?" said Master Taiyi. "Then please tell me in detail, Brother Ge!"

Ge Xiaoyao then recounted how he comprehended the secrets of the Dragon-Slaying Blade, obtained the true power of the Dragon Immortals, and later encountered the Dragon Immortal Platform, releasing a hundred Dragon Immortals.

Although Master Taiyi was experienced and knowledgeable, he was still deeply moved by Ge Xiaoyao's extraordinary encounter with the Dragon-Slaying Blade. His face changed color frequently, and he nodded repeatedly, occasionally interjecting with a question or two.

"That's how it is, Senior Brother Taiyi. I've come here today to ask if there's a way to mend the broken blade and restore the Dragon-Slaying Blade!" Ge Xiaoyao said.

It turned out that on that day, the hundred Dragon Immortals separated from the blade and absorbed the true power of the Dragon Immortals stored within it, causing the Dragon-Slaying Blade to break into several pieces. Ge Xiaoyao had carried the Dragon-Slaying Blade for a long time and had developed a strong attachment to it, so he couldn't bear to discard the fragments and stored them all in his Void Bag. Today, upon meeting Master Taiyi, he suddenly remembered the Dragon-Slaying Blade and came to ask if it was possible to mend the blade.

Taiyi Zhenren chuckled and said, "Brother Ge, there's something I'm hesitant to say. Now that you possess Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe and the ancient Ancestral Dragon's treasure, the Dragon Immortal Platform, the Dragon-Slaying Blade is practically superfluous. Why bother trying to repair it?"

Ge Xiaoyao replied, "Senior Brother Taiyi, I've grown attached to the Dragon-Slaying Blade over time. Besides, while the Pangu Heaven-Opening Axe and the Dragon Immortal Platform are useful as magical weapons against powerful enemies, they're too conspicuous for ordinary battles. That's why I've decided to repair the Dragon-Slaying Blade!"

Taiyi Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since Brother Ge is so sentimental, I, Taiyi, do indeed have a method to repair the broken blade, but..."

Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly asked, "But what? Senior Brother Taiyi, please explain!"

"However, the Dragon-Slaying Blade is an ancient Buddhist blade, and it has been imbued with the true power of the Dragon Immortal, causing changes in its material. To repair it, I'm afraid I'll need an ancient Buddhist relic and the true fire of the Dragon Immortal to reforge it!" Taiyi Zhenren said.

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "The Dragon Immortal True Fire is easy to find, but where can one find the ancient Buddhist relic?"

Taiyi Zhenren sighed slightly and said, "That's right. The Dragon Immortal True Fire can be formed from the divine power within Brother Ge's body, but the ancient Buddhist relic is not easy to find. You should know that this relic is the bone of an ancient Buddhist monk who was burned after his death. It is extremely rare. Even if one exists, it has already been enshrined as a supreme treasure by the Buddhist sect. How can it be offered up for Brother Ge to practice his sword?"

"Since that's the case, then we'll just have to search slowly!" Ge Xiaoyao said. "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Taiyi!"

Taiyi Zhenren smiled and said, "Brother Ge is too kind. Now that we need to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, I might need Brother Ge's supreme magic weapon to help me. I hope Brother Ge will lend a hand then!"

Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "That's for sure! Since this Immortal Slaughtering Formation is said to be invincible, we will have to put in a lot of hard work to break it. I wonder if Senior Brother Taiyi and your group have come up with a method to seize the sword and break the formation?"

Chapter 267 Immortal Slaughtering Formation (Part 2)

"Hehe... not yet. We don't know how to break the formation at the moment. We still need to comprehend the mystery of Brother Ge's living man fighting the dead sword!" Taiyi Zhenren laughed.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Taiyi, please don't tease me. In terms of comprehension, I am but a nobody. However, I think that although this formation is fierce, if you look closely, there should still be some flaws!"

Taiyi Zhenren nodded, "Fortunately, there is plenty of time in the future, and there is no rush to break the formation."

Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Ge Xiaoyao got up to take his leave and returned to Jiang Ziya's formation-breaking team.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya was discussing ways to break the formation with Cangmang Daoren, Duomei, Lei Zhenzi, and others. Jiang Ziya said, "The Immortal-Slaying Sword is placed on Phoenix Fall Peak, the highest and most dangerous of the four peaks. Climbing it barehanded is extremely difficult, but if one uses magic power to ascend, one will inevitably be blocked by the boundless sword energy. What should we do?"

Duomei said, "We have never seen the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword energy, nor do we know if our magic power can withstand it. Therefore, I think we should take advantage of this rest to test it first!"

Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "I have never seen the Immortal-Slaying Sword either, but I have heard that it is called the Immortal-Slaying Sword, not only because its sword energy is fierce, but also because it can penetrate a person's essence and blood..." "With such divine power and cultivation, once this formation is activated, Phoenix Cry Mountain will be devoid of birds and beasts, and humans will find it even more difficult to approach!"

Cangmang Daoist said, "These are all legends. Even if the Immortal Execution Sword is powerful, it should only unleash its power when activated by magical power. Will it kill ordinary birds and beasts indiscriminately?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "I don't know for sure about that!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and stepped forward, saying, "Brother Ziya, this is easy. I just need to take a few birds and beasts with me, and we'll know once we try!"

Lei Zhenzi had already heard Duo Mei and Jiang Ziya recount Ge Xiaoyao's deeds and admired him greatly. He immediately said, "Brother Ge, I, Lei Zhenzi, will go and catch a few birds and beasts right now!"

Yang Jian also said, "I'll go too..." He patted a large black dog lying beside him and said, "This is how the Celestial Hound does best!"

"Hehe, so this is the Celestial Hound. It looks quite imposing, somewhat resembling a Tibetan Mastiff!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, then laughed, "Excellent! Brother Lei Zhenzi can catch birds of prey, and Brother Yang's Celestial Hound can fight ferocious beasts—perfect! Then we'll trouble you two brothers!"

Lei Zhenzi and Yang Jian both laughed, "Brother Ge, you're too kind. It's just a small favor!"

Jiang Ziya thought for a moment and then instructed, "You two can go and catch birds of prey and ferocious beasts, but be extremely careful not to trigger the Immortal Execution Formation!"

Watching Lei Zhenzi and Yang Jian leave, Jiang Ziya then said, "In that case, once they bring back the birds of prey and ferocious beasts, we'll drive them into the mountains to witness the power of the Immortal Execution Sword. " "Power!"

Everyone nodded, but Ge Xiaoyao remembered something else and asked, "I wonder if Brother Jiang has heard about the chaos in the Heavenly Realm?"

Cangmang Daoist also said, "Yes, the Heavenly Realm is now also overrun by demons and in chaos. Brother Ziya, have you also heard the news?"

Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "The other day, I also consulted the heavens and observed the celestial phenomena at night. I saw demonic stars rising everywhere and the celestial stars dimming. I'm afraid this great calamity of heaven and earth is unavoidable!"

Ge Xiaoyao's heart stirred, and he asked again, "If that's the case, will it affect our campaign against King Zhou of Shang?" What he was most worried about at this moment was that if the demonic forces in heaven disturbed the mortal realm, it might be even more difficult to help Zhou overthrow King Zhou. He wondered when Chu Yu could be rescued.

Jiang Ziya shook his head, "The Heavenly Realm and the mortal realm are far apart, and are blocked by fierce winds and raging energy. It's not easy for ordinary demons to enter the mortal realm. Even if the Heavenly Realm is in chaos, the impact on the mortal realm will be limited!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, "That puts my mind at ease!"

As they were talking, Lei Zhenzi and Yang Jian returned, their faces showing surprise. They both said, "Strange, there isn't a single bird or beast in these mountains!"

Jiang Ziya and the others looked puzzled, "How could that be!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, "This isn't surprising. We figured out how to use birds and beasts to probe the formation, and the Tongtian Sect Master isn't stupid; he naturally figured it out too. Of course, when setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, he slaughtered all the birds and beasts on the mountain!"

Jiang Ziya, Cangmang Daoren, Duomei, and the others nodded, but Lei Zhenzi and Yang Jian sighed, "Brother Ge, why didn't you say so earlier? We made a wasted trip!"

"Hehe, otherwise how would I test whether you're stupid or not... You two are usually quite clever lads, but following Jiang Ziya has made your brains stiff!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, saying, "I just thought of that myself! I think there shouldn't be any birds or beasts within a hundred miles now!"

"Then what should we do? Brother Ge..." Lei Zhenzi and Yang Jian both asked.

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ziya's blue ox grazing outside, and someone else's steed.

"Ah?" Lei Zhenzi didn't understand, but Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat. He pursed his lips but didn't speak. At this moment, the Howling Celestial Dog let out a howl, and its massive body instantly turned into a wisp of smoke, disappearing without a trace.

"It seems Yang Jian is a clever man, but a bit stingy!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. He knew, of course, that he had put away the Howling Celestial Dog. "Looks like I'll have to use his Howling Celestial Dog later! Do you think putting it away means it doesn't exist?"

Ge Xiaoyao couldn't stand such stingy people and wanted to put Yang Jian's Howling Celestial Dog at risk. He laughed and said, "Since there are no birds or beasts within a hundred miles, we can just find something else to replace it. Actually, there are all kinds of spirit beasts that we can command, both far away and right before our eyes!" As soon as he

said this, everyone understood Ge Xiaoyao's meaning. However, they all remained silent.

Ge Xiaoyao knew that these people were worried about their magical treasures and mounts, so he immediately smiled and said, "We cultivators are transcendent. We can even give up our own bodies, so what can't we give up!" Immediately, with a thought, the Dragon Platform Divine Beast and the Water Demon Beast floated away, lying on the ground, each letting out a muffled roar.

Ge Xiaoyao laughed, "These two creatures are both ancient spirit beasts, one a water demon beast and the other a dragon platform divine beast. They are both my most beloved treasures. Now, to eliminate the demons of the Jie Sect, I am willing to offer them up to explore this Zhuxian Formation!"

"Haha... Brother Ge is indeed a righteous and generous man. If we hesitate any longer, wouldn't we be a bit stingy!" Cangmang Daoist laughed, and a snow-feathered spirit crane appeared beside him, its handsome appearance inspiring awe. "This is my mount, the Jade Feather Crane, which has followed me for a thousand years. This time, I am willing to offer it up to break the formation!"

Jiang Ziya said, "That's good. It would be more appropriate to have many spirit birds and exotic beasts explore the Zhuxian Formation. Although my Green Ox is clumsy, it has considerable strength, so let's count it as one!"

At this time, several other people were also willing to offer up their steeds, but Yang Jian frowned, his expression somber, seemingly hesitant.

Ge Xiaoyao said, "You are all chivalrous immortals who value loyalty and righteousness. I, Ge Xiaoyao, am willing to form a life-and-death bond with you all. I hope you will not find me unworthy!"

Everyone said, "It is my great fortune to befriend such a loyal and righteous person as Brother Ge!"

Jiang Ziya also said, "If we can break this Immortal Slaughtering Formation and defeat the Jie Sect in one fell swoop, I will definitely report to Master Yuanshi one day and have these spirit birds and beasts recorded on the Investiture of the Gods!" After saying that, he added, "Fellow Daoist Cangmang, Brother Ge, since the beasts and birds for exploring the formation have been gathered, let us all obey your commands and go explore the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, shall we?"

Just then, Yang Jian finally could not hold back and said with a determined heart, "My Howling Celestial Dog is also willing to serve Brother Ge to explore the formation!" As he spoke, a wisp of smoke drifted out, and the Howling Celestial Dog's robust body appeared in front of everyone, barking wildly at the sky, seemingly possessing awe-inspiring power.

At this moment, the Water Demon Beast and the Dragon Platform Divine Beast, who had been resting quietly, seemed excited upon seeing the Howling Celestial Dog. The two beasts exchanged a glance and pounced on the Howling Celestial Dog, each emitting low growls. The Howling Celestial Dog also let out a ferocious bark.

Seeing the three ferocious beasts, everyone's faces showed surprise. "Are they going to fight?" Duo Mei asked nervously.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "No, these two beasts are trying to befriend the Howling Celestial Dog, but it seems the Howling Celestial Dog isn't appreciating it!" He then gave Yang Jian a meaningful look.

Yang Jian smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "It's alright, I'll teach the Howling Celestial Dog a lesson!" He gently patted the Howling Celestial Dog's head, and its ferocious bark immediately turned into a low growl. The Howling Celestial Dog then walked towards the Water Demon Beast and the Dragon Platform Divine Beast, its long pink tongue licking each of them twice.

Seeing that these ancient beasts seemed to possess sentience and had formed a friendly alliance, everyone smiled knowingly.

Yang Jian reluctantly offered up his Howling Celestial Dog, but he was quite pleased with himself. He immediately said, "Brother Ge, Senior Cangmang, shall I join you and lead the beasts to investigate the Immortal Slaughtering Formation?"

Cangmang Daoist immediately agreed, and Ge Xiaoyao laughed, "With Brother Yang's help, we will definitely be able to find out the truth about the Immortal Slaughtering Formation this time!" He secretly chuckled to himself, "This Erlang Shen, although a bit stingy, still considers the big picture. I won't make things difficult for him!"

Once everyone was ready, they gathered the beasts together. The demonic beasts roared, the horses neighed, and the cranes danced in the air, creating a strange spectacle that was far more impressive than Ge Xiaoyao had originally imagined—driving a group of wild boars into the mountains.

Because these spirit beasts were all adept at understanding human speech, after a little coaxing from their original owners, they all became obsequious to Ge Xiaoyao, Cangmang Daoist, and Yang Jian. Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Platform Divine Beast, being from ancient times, was even stronger than the Water Demon Beast, thus becoming the de facto lord of the group. It slightly bowed, its eyes and golden fur gleaming, exuding an imposing aura of authority.

Jiang Ziya glanced at the sky and said, "Brother Ge, it's getting late, and exploring the formation at night is inconvenient. Fortunately, we have plenty of time. Why not explore the formation early tomorrow morning? This will allow the spirit beasts to get to know each other and work together, making offense and defense much easier!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Jiang Ziya then arranged for the Kunlun disciples to prepare a meal, saying, "The matter was handled hastily, and the army has no delicacies to entertain you fellow Daoists. I am truly ashamed!"

"Brother Jiang, why do you say that? We are all cultivators who have endured countless hardships, so naturally we don't care about such things. However, I know that Brother Jiang has plenty of wine here!" Ge Xiaoyao laughed.

The Cangmang Daoist and several sect leaders were also good drinkers, and immediately echoed his sentiments.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "We certainly have wine, but we are currently focused on breaking the formation, so we cannot satisfy you all for now. When the formation is broken, I will certainly drink with you all!"

Everyone said, "Good!"

At this moment, four people came running from afar. They were all Kunlun disciples from various groups, coming to report and discuss their plans for breaking the formation. After hearing their report, everyone was secretly amazed. It turned out that in the world of immortals, there were indeed mountains beyond mountains, and extraordinary people were as numerous as the stars.

Taiyi Zhenren's group also attempted to probe the formation with a horde of beasts, but lacked any to drive. They instead sent Nezha alone with his Wind-Fire Wheels and Universe Ring, as his body was formed from lotus root, possessing only a soul and no flesh and blood, allowing him to regenerate even if destroyed.

Xuandu Mountain's Sanbao Daoren's group, however, consisted of ten disciples forming the Xuandu Sword Formation, aiming to seize the sword and break the formation. Although they didn't know the exact nature of the Xuandu Sword Formation, the messenger disciple explained that it seemed to be Xuandu Mountain's most powerful defensive formation, weak in attack but extremely strong in defense, capable of withstanding the true power of those dozens of times stronger than themselves.

Bixia Xianzi's group had a remarkable individual named Tu Lingzi, skilled in earth magic, capable of traversing mountains and entering the earth unpredictably, perhaps able to evade the sword's edge and seize the sword to break the formation.

Chapter 268 Breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Formation (Part 1)

After listening to the report from several Kunlun disciples, Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "Good! With so many fellow immortals, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation can surely be broken in one fell swoop!"

The three Kunlun disciples returned to their respective groups, and the night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Ge Xiaoyao, Cangmang Daoist, and Yang Jian drove their beasts towards Phoenix Falling Peak. Today, they did not intend to break the formation, but only wanted to test the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.

After a night of training, the group of spirit beasts had clearly all come to regard the Dragon Platform Divine Beast as their master. With the Dragon Platform Divine Beast and Ge Xiaoyao in perfect harmony, the beasts flew or ran forward in an orderly fashion at its low roar. Ge Xiaoyao and the others who were driving the beasts were relatively carefree, simply enjoying the mountain scenery and chatting idly along the way.

Ge Xiaoyao, recalling Yang Jian's later deification as Erlang Zhenjun or Erlang Shen, chuckled inwardly and said, "Brother Yang, you assisted Brother Ziya in his campaign against King Zhou, serving as the vanguard. You will surely ascend to the ranks of gods and become a dignified celestial being!"

Yang Jian, unaware of his later deeds, laughed and said, "Brother Ge, don't tease me. I'm merely a foot soldier. If it comes to deification, I, Yang Jian, certainly wouldn't be among them!"

Ge Xiaoyao knew Yang Jian was arrogant and this was merely a polite remark, so he smiled and said, "Oh! How about we make a bet?"

Yang Jian asked, "What kind of bet? " "What?"

Cangmang Daoist laughed, "Alright! In that case, I'll be your witness!"

Ge Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and said, "If you can obtain the title of a true god on the Investiture of the Gods in the future, then you must acknowledge me, Ge Xiaoyao, as your elder brother and do three things for me! If you cannot obtain the title of a true god, then I will do three things for you, how about that?"

Yang Jian thought to himself, "I won't lose out on this bet no matter what," and immediately smiled and said, "Brother Ge is too kind. If I am truly appointed as a true god, let alone three, I can do thirty things. So let's make a bet!"

The three laughed heartily and followed the beasts towards Phoenix Fall Peak. Ge Xiaoyao made a bet with Yang Jian on the spot, never expecting that it would later be of great help to him. This can be described as "the heart moves with the heavens, a single thought can prove a hundred years later!"

Phoenix Fall Peak is the highest and most dangerous peak in Phoenix Cry Mountain. Cliffs hang like upside-down cliffs, forests cascade diagonally, waterfalls surge and soar upwards. Even before entering the main peak, one can feel the overwhelming true energy making it hard to breathe.

"Could that Immortal Execution Sword really be that powerful?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, activating his supreme profound skill, instantly covering his body with a layer of pale golden divine power armor. At this moment, Cangmang Daoist and Yang Jian also used their respective methods to protect themselves.

The beast horde ahead of them became somewhat agitated as soon as they entered Phoenix Fall Peak. Many of the lower-level dragon horses were already restless. Fortunately, the Dragon Platform Divine Beast and the Water Demon Beast suppressed them, maintaining their formation, but their advance speed noticeably slowed down.

"If Phoenix Fall Peak is like this, I wonder what about the other three peaks?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Suddenly, a red glow flashed across the sky, and countless five-colored sword energies shot straight into the heavens from the west, weaving together to form a dazzling "戳" (chuo, meaning "stab") in the azure sky.

"It must be that Nezha who triggered the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!" Cangmang Daoist exclaimed in surprise, "This Immortal Slaughtering Formation is incredibly domineering . If one sword is activated, all four swords will be activated. We must be careful!"

Just as he finished speaking, a golden light suddenly burst forth from Phoenix Fall Peak, descending directly towards the summit.

"Not good, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword has also been activated!" Yang Jian exclaimed.

Ge Xiaoyao frowned slightly. He noticed that although the golden sword energy was dazzling, its descent was extremely slow, and the sword energy didn't seem particularly powerful. He immediately said, "Don't panic, Brother Cangmang, Brother Yang Jian, let's gather the beasts and test the power of that golden sword energy!"

Cangmang Daoist and Yang Jian nodded in agreement. The three of them separated and gathered the beasts in the middle, continuing to climb towards Phoenix Fall Peak.

Countless golden rays of light rained down like celestial maidens scattering flowers. Instantly, more than ten low-level dragon horses were struck by the golden light, neighing loudly. For a moment, the beasts roared incessantly. Those low-level dragon horses had weaker true energy armor and were scattered and fled in all directions by the golden light. Some of them, not careful, fell off the cliff and were instantly shattered to pieces.

It should be noted that although these dragon horses were low-level, they were still spirit beasts, and it was not easy to harm them with ordinary true energy spells. Ge Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat. With a thought, he summoned the Dragon Platform Divine Beast to gather the herd, releasing golden light to block the descending sword energy.

The Dragon Platform Divine Beast's body swelled, roaring with earth-shattering force. Its entire body erupted in golden light, deflecting the countless stray sword energies. For a moment, golden light filled the mountains, obscuring the trees and rocks. The herd, intimidated by the Dragon Platform Divine Beast's roar and no longer bothered by the golden sword energy, immediately quieted down. The Water Demon Beast darted among them, throwing several wounded dragon horses far away.

"Good! Dragon Platform, Water Demon... well done!" Ge Xiaoyao unleashed his ancient divine power, steadily supporting the dragon horses and placing them on the ground. With a slap on their rumps, the dragon horses understood and galloped back the way they came.

"Brother Ge, your spirit beast is truly formidable!" Yang Jian praised, shouting at the Howling Celestial Dog. The Howling Celestial Dog, which had been hiding among the beasts with its tail between its legs, barked wildly, its black body swelling to become a giant dog, its entire body radiating black light, blocking the sword energy leaking through the golden light of the Dragon Platform Divine Beast.

"Hehe, this Howling Celestial Dog is indeed powerful, but it's a bit timid!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, but said aloud, "Brother Yang Jian, your Howling Celestial Dog is quite good too!"

Yang Jian said, "The Howling Celestial Dog was once listed as one of the ten most ferocious beasts of antiquity, also known as the Moon-Devouring Sky Wolf..." Just

as he was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly exclaimed in alarm, "Brother Ge, something's wrong!"

Ge Xiaoyao looked up sharply, only to see that the golden light covering Phoenix Fall Peak had suddenly dissipated, condensing into more than ten golden pillars of light that crashed down. This time, it wasn't the original all-encompassing light, but clearly aimed directly at the beast horde.

"No way, could those sword energies just now have been a test?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, now sensing that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was indeed quite profound.

The Dragon Platform Divine Beast roared, its eyes blazing with golden light, shooting down the two fastest-falling golden pillars. With a deafening crash, the golden pillars shattered, unleashing a sky full of crisscrossing sword energies, which also caused the beasts to roar and howl in disarray.

"Ya-woo..." Seeing the Dragon Platform Divine Beast single-handedly holding the line, the Water Demon Beast couldn't resist any longer. It suddenly transformed into a giant beast eight zhang tall, its massive body soaring into the air, spewing out a stream of true fire, firmly blocking the two falling golden sword energies.

The Celestial Hound, not to be outdone, gathered its black light and also withstood two golden sword energies.

The three beasts combined their strength to block most of the sword energies, but four or five still fell. Although they didn't hit the beast horde, they still broke trees and shattered mountains with deafening roars. Ge Xiaoyao, Cangmang Daoist, and Yang Jian were all shocked and each channeled their divine power and true energy to envelop the beast horde, preventing unnecessary damage from the scattered true energy.

Just as more than ten golden pillars of light fell, a distant bell rang from the mountain peak. Then, dozens of giant golden swords suddenly appeared on the mountaintop, slicing through the sky in the shape of lotus flowers, shooting towards Ge Xiaoyao and the others and the beasts.

"These sword energies are getting more and more powerful!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Looking at the beasts, he saw that the Dragon Platform Divine Beast was spewing white smoke from its mouth and nose, the Water Demon Beast had already fallen to the ground, and the Celestial Hound had shrunk in size, all of them having exhausted their magical power.

Ge Xiaoyao winked at Cangmang Daoren and Yang Jian, then shouted, "Well done! Let me, Ge Xiaoyao, also test the power of this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!" He leaped into the air like a great bird, his hands flashing with ancient divine power that instantly transformed into dozens of giant, gleaming axes, meeting the blinding golden swords.

"Hehe, I, Cangmang, will also give it a try!" Cangmang Daoren laughed, his body still and focused, as dozens of gleaming immortal swords emerged from his body, swirling before him before charging towards the sword formation.

Yang Jian cried out, "Yang Jian is here!" He flew into the air, his hands flashing, and a two-pointed spear appeared in his hands. The spear, several meters long, with its golden tips trembling rapidly, seemed to transform into a hundred golden spears, plunging into the golden sword formation.

Ge Xiaoyao's ancient divine power, the giant axe gleaming with cold light, was derived from the Pangu Axe, which was originally used by Pangu's divine power and could best unleash the power of ancient divine power. At this moment, when the dozens of giant axes gleamed with the golden sword light emitted by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, a deafening roar erupted.

It should be known that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword was also a prized treasure of the ancient Hongjun Ancestor, its sword energy naturally incomparably domineering; otherwise, how could it have suppressed the arrogant demon? However, it seemed that the sword energy was still slightly weaker than Ge Xiaoyao's

divine power. The golden sword light clashed with the giant axe light, shattering into countless fragments. Ge Xiaoyao was suddenly delighted, thinking to himself, "Hmph, the so-called Immortal Slaughtering Sword is nothing special!" His ancient divine power surged forth, supporting the dozen or so giant axes gleaming with cold light as they continued to cleave the sword light.

Unlike Ge Xiaoyao, Cangmang Daoren and Yang Jian lacked divine power. Their true energy and magical treasures crumbled instantly upon encountering the golden giant sword. Fortunately, both were highly skilled cultivators, and they immediately mustered all their strength to barely deflect the golden light of the giant sword, though they were exhausted to the point of collapse.

Faced with the same enemy, the difference in skill was stark, and Cangmang Daoren and Yang Jian were now completely convinced of Ge Xiaoyao's superiority.

However, they were unaware that Ge Xiaoyao's cultivation was not actually higher than theirs; he had simply absorbed the ancient divine power of Pangu and Yizhuo, making him far stronger than any mortal could cultivate on their own, thus enabling him to contend with the Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi.

Ge Xiaoyao turned around and saw that Cangmang Daoren and Yang Jian had both been defeated, and saw the sky filled with crisscrossing sword qi, threatening to injure the already panicked beast horde if not handled carefully. He immediately said, "Brother Cangmang, Brother Yang Jian, this Immortal Slaughtering Formation is indeed powerful. You two quickly lead the beast horde to retreat from Phoenix Fall Peak. I'll hold on a little longer and see if the Immortal Slaughtering Sword has any more tricks up its sleeve!"

Cangmang Daoist and Yang Jian were also secretly alarmed by the strength of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword's energy. If they relied solely on their own strength, they would indeed be unable to enter or leave. Without further hesitation, they recited the incantation and commanded the beast horde to retreat. Cangmang Daoist shouted to Ge Xiaoyao, "Brother Ge... be careful! If you are outmatched, retreat immediately!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded. At this moment, the golden giant sword emitted by the Immortal Slaughtering Formation had been dismantled by the combined efforts of the three. His ancient divine power spread across the sky, forming a divine power net in the low sky, blocking the remaining sword energy that crisscrossed the sky, and covering the departure of Cangmang Daoist and Yang Jian. At the same time, he recited the incantation, intending to collect the Dragon Platform Divine Beast and the Water Demon Beast.

However, at that moment, a dragon's roar suddenly echoed from Phoenix Falling Mountain, and a golden light surged forth like a giant wave, reaching tens of feet high and spreading across the land, instantly pulverizing any stone and wood it encountered.

Ge Xiaoyao saw that this golden light was unlike the initial fine rain of sword energy, the later massive pillar of golden light, or the earlier descending golden sword; it was like a torrent of water engulfing the mountain. No matter how high one's cultivation, it would be impossible to break through this golden wave with one's own true power. The only option was to flee.

"Well done! It seems this is the ultimate power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Turning his head, he saw that Cangmang Daoist and Yang Jian had already led their beasts far away, and only then did he feel relieved. He then made an extremely risky decision.

"Dragon Platform, Water Demon... Come!" Ge Xiaoyao absorbed the Dragon Platform divine beast and the Water Demon beast into his body. He held the Dragon Platform in his left hand and the Pangu Axe in his right. The divine power within him shone through his body, giving him a faint golden glow. He stood in mid-air, head held high, looking down at the golden wave of light, like a god.

Chapter 269 Breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Force (Part 2)

The golden wave of light rolled in, with the momentum of a thousand armies, sweeping across the entire Phoenix Fall Peak. Ge Xiaoyao stood proudly in mid-air. Seeing the golden wave of light rushing towards him, he suddenly gathered his energy and roared. The Pangu Axe of Light transformed into a dazzling cold light and cleaved towards the golden wave of light. Where the axe force passed, golden light flashed, and the sound of cutting silk and shattering gold crackled loudly. The golden wave of light was instantly split in two by the axe force and poured down beside Ge Xiaoyao.

"It's truly a dead sword, a dead force, with no way to turn back!" Ge Xiaoyao smiled arrogantly, his figure instantly rising into the air. The Pangu Axe, cleaving through the golden waves of light, propelled him like a fish swimming against the current.

"Heh!" As the power of the Pangu Axe dissipated, the golden sword energy on both sides instantly pressed towards him. With a roar, the Dragon Immortal Platform in his left hand instantly expanded tenfold, and Ge Xiaoyao leaped into it. The Dragon Immortal Platform emitted a faint emerald glow, pushing aside the boundless golden waves of light, like a small boat swiftly navigating within them.

Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "What a magnificent Dragon Immortal Platform! Truly a supreme treasure!" His ancient divine power was derived from the remnants of Pangu and the First Turbidity, only a tiny fraction, naturally not comparable to Pangu's original form, which could transform the Dragon Immortal Platform into bronze. However, this emerald Dragon Immortal Platform alone was enough for Ge Xiaoyao to defy the extremely dangerous Immortal-Slaying Sword Energy.

Ge Xiaoyao urged the Dragon Immortal Ancient Platform upstream. He reasoned that the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was far more than what he had seen so far, especially since he hadn't even seen the sword's appearance yet. Having expended so much effort in exploring the formation, he was determined to witness the Immortal Slaughtering Sword's power.

However, despite his intentions, things weren't smooth sailing within the Dragon Immortal Ancient Platform. Waves of golden light, stirred up by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword's energy, surged forth, sweeping across the land. Even the ancient treasure of the Dragon Immortal Ancient Platform couldn't withstand this immense impact, tossing and turning violently. If it weren't for Ge Xiaoyao's ancient divine power supporting him, he would likely have already capsized. Suddenly,

Ge Xiaoyao thought of his white-headed giant eagle and thought to himself, "This Zhuxian Sword Qi is not all-encompassing; it only focuses downwards. Why not release the white-headed eagle now and let it ascend the peak first!"

However, Ge Xiaoyao immediately shook his head. "Although the white-headed eagle is extremely fast, judging from what I just saw, this Zhuxian Sword Formation is definitely not that simple. Moreover, the white-headed eagle is not like the Dragon Platform Divine Beast or the Water Demon Beast. It is a true form condensed from the soul energy within the Dragon Immortal Platform. It wouldn't matter if it were destroyed. If I'm not absolutely certain, it's best not to risk it!"

Just as Ge Xiaoyao was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a flash of red light in the distance, which then vanished in an instant. The boundless golden waves of light floating on the Dragon Immortal Platform suddenly slowed down, and his forward speed increased considerably.

"Haha, looks like I've passed this hurdle again!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, about to leap out of the Dragon Immortal Platform, when suddenly he felt a burst of golden light above his head. When he saw what it was, his face changed instantly, he gasped, and without bothering to put away the Dragon Immortal Platform, he unleashed his ancient divine power and darted away at top speed.

"That was close, that was close..." Ge Xiaoyao's heart pounded in his chest. He had initially thought the sudden decrease in the speed of the golden wave was due to the weakening of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi, but he hadn't realized that the golden wave had suddenly reversed direction. Fortunately, Ge Xiaoyao reacted quickly, using all his strength to escape diagonally; otherwise, he would have been swallowed up by the boundless golden sword energy!

Ge Xiaoyao's figure didn't linger in mid-air for even a moment before soaring into the clouds. Looking down, he saw the golden waves churning and swirling like boiling porridge, while his magical treasure, the Dragon Immortal Platform, had been completely swallowed by the golden light.

Ge Xiaoyao felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had treasured the Dragon Immortal Platform like a precious gem, only to have it destroyed on its very first use. It was truly heartbreaking. However, seeing the golden waves seem to come alive, rapidly coalescing into a human shape after losing their target, he was startled.

"Ah... how could this be?" Ge Xiaoyao was shocked. Forgetting about the Dragon Immortal Platform, his mind raced, trying to figure out how to deal with it.

At this moment, the sword energy shone brightly, and the human figure's outline gradually became more realistic. However, the curves were so delicate that it resembled a woman's, which astonished Ge Xiaoyao even more.

The extraordinary sight before him left Ge Xiaoyao speechless. He paused briefly amidst the clouds, about to examine the woman's features closely, when Jiang Ziya's voice rang in his ears: "Brother Ge, return immediately, I have urgent news to report!"

Ge Xiaoyao replied, "Brother Jiang, wait a moment!" He turned to look at the woman, only to see her surrounded by golden light, obscuring her face. In her hands lay the Dragon-Slaying Platform that Ge Xiaoyao had hastily discarded.

"No..." Jiang Ziya said, "The Immortal Slaughtering Formation has now been officially activated. It's very dangerous for you to be there alone. Return quickly!" Jiang Ziya's voice was deep and urgent.

Ge Xiaoyao glanced at the golden-lighted woman, thinking to himself, "Why is this old man in such a hurry at this time! Does he want me to start all over again?" Then he thought again, "No, Jiang Ziya has never seemed this rushed before. He probably doesn't know what's going on! In that case, I should go back first. Anyway, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation is here, and I, Ge Xiaoyao, will definitely reclaim my Dragon Immortal Platform!"

With that thought, Ge Xiaoyao unleashed his supreme profound power, his ancient divine strength cleaving through the clouds, rushing down the mountain. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the golden-lighted woman seemingly oblivious to Ge Xiaoyao's actions, holding the jade Dragon Immortal Platform in her hands, standing there lost in thought, appearing incredibly mysterious.

"Brother Jiang, what's the rush?" Ge Xiaoyao landed and saw two tents already set up in the valley. Jiang Ziya stood outside the tents, his brows furrowed, seemingly waiting for his return.

"Brother Ge, are you alright?" Jiang Ziya didn't answer Ge Xiaoyao, but instead looked him up and down and asked.

"I'm fine, what's wrong?" Ge Xiaoyao asked in surprise, then suddenly remembered that he had lost the Dragon Platform and sighed, "But I've lost a magic weapon!"

Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "Good! It's good that you're alright. Magic weapons are just external possessions!"

Seeing Jiang Ziya's downcast expression, Ge Xiaoyao wondered if something had happened. He immediately asked, "What exactly happened?"

Jiang Ziya sighed and pointed to the tent, saying, "Go inside and take a look!"

Ge Xiaoyao walked towards the tent, thinking to himself, "What's going on? It's so mysterious. Is someone dead?"

When he lifted the tent flap, a chill ran down his spine. Inside, a person lay diagonally, limbs severed, only a torso remaining. Fortunately, Ge Xiaoyao discovered that the person still had a breath left. It was Nezha, whom Ge Xiaoyao had met once before and had a good impression of. Taiyi Zhenren looked sorrowful and remained silent.

Ge Xiaoyao was startled and hurriedly asked, "Brother Taiyi, how could Nezha be like this?"

Taiyi Zhenren sighed and said, "Brother Ge, that Zhuxian Sword is indeed powerful. It seems that apart from your group, the other three groups have suffered heavy casualties. I originally thought that since Nezha has no physical body, even if he sacrifices his body, he would definitely be able to take down that Zhuxian Sword. But I didn't expect... he didn't take down the Zhuxian Sword, and Nezha was seriously injured!"

Ge Xiaoyao was secretly alarmed. "Could it be that Fairy Bixia and Daoist Xuandu also failed?" He immediately said, "Brother Taiyi, don't be sad. Since Nezha has a lotus root body, this is not a serious injury. At worst, he can just spend more time healing! I'll go check on the other two groups!" He thought to himself that if his Dragon Immortal Platform were still there, perhaps Nezha could enter the Dragon Immortal Platform and recover his original form like a dragon immortal. However, the Dragon Immortal Platform had been lost, so he thought for a moment but didn't speak.

Ge Xiaoyao turned and came out, sighing slightly. He was secretly relieved that his group hadn't suffered any casualties. However, it was also thanks to his quick thinking in ordering Cangmang Daoist and Yang Jian to retreat early; otherwise, the losses would have been much heavier. He walked to the second tent, only to hear a chorus of grief and anger inside: "What Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation! The Tongtian Sect Master! One day I will crush them all to dust!"

It turned out that the speaker was Xuandu Daoist. He had thought that the Xuandu Mountain's protective array, the Xuandu Town, could withstand the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, but he hadn't expected that three of his seven prized disciples would die on the spot, and the remaining four were also seriously injured. Ge Xiaoyao wasn't familiar with the Xuanjiao Daoist, but seeing that his cultivation was not low and his temper was fiery, he only offered a few lukewarm words of comfort before leaving.

In another tent, Fairy Bixia frowned, a hint of worry on her dignified and noble face. It turned out that their group had gone to seize the Immortal-Trapping Sword. Tu Lingzi had thought he could use the earth and stones to block the sword's energy, but he hadn't expected the sword to absorb vital essence. Even though Tu Lingzi reacted quickly and escaped, he had still lost a portion of his vital essence, severely damaging his vitality; it would probably take more than a month to recover.

Ge Xiaoyao found Jiang Ziya, only to find him with a deeply furrowed brow. Duo Mei, Cangmang Daoist, and Yang Jian were also there, all looking worried. Seeing their low morale, Ge Xiaoyao laughed and said, "The Immortal Execution Sword is indeed powerful. We underestimated it and rushed into the formation rashly, so some damage is normal. Fortunately, we have figured out the power of the Immortal Execution Sword, and we have hope of breaking the formation next!"

Duo Mei smiled and said, "Brother Ge, that's true, but this damage is a big blow to the other three groups!"

Cang Mang Daoist also nodded and said, "Although our group has no casualties, the other three groups have indeed been greatly weakened, especially Brother Xuandu's group. Half of his seven prized disciples are gone..."

Jiang Ziya thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ge, let's ignore the other three groups for now. As it stands, how confident are we if our group breaks the Immortal Execution Sword alone?"

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and smiled slightly and said, "Seventy percent, but it will require the four of us to work together!"

Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment and then smiled and said, "Seventy percent is enough. We'll rest for a day tomorrow and break the formation the day after tomorrow!"

"Senior Brother Jiang, have you thought of a plan to break the formation?" Duo Mei asked.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Actually, there's no real strategy to break this formation. This Immortal Slaughtering Formation is an ancient formation. It seems simple, but there are almost no tricks we can use. Since that's the case, let's not go to such lengths. Let's just fight it out head-on!"

Ge Xiaoyao frowned slightly, already vaguely understanding Jiang Ziya's meaning.

Cangmang Daoist suddenly said, "A head-on fight is possible, but our strength is still somewhat lacking. If we try to seize the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, besides the four of us, only Yang Jian can get close to the summit of Phoenix Falling Peak. The rest of us won't even be able to break through that sword energy! Moreover, among the five of us, there will likely be casualties!"

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Since we're going to fight to break the formation, injuries are inevitable. If there are any casualties, I, Jiang Ziya, am willing to be the first!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, what are you saying? We swore a brotherhood oath: not born on the same day, month, and year, but destined to die on the same day!" "If there are any casualties, I, Ge Xiaoyao, should bear them!"

Cangmang Daoist laughed and said, "Brother Ge, you saved my Cangmang Mountain, and I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. I'll take care of it then!"

Duomei also smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, you are the commander of the three armies. Brother Ge, you still have Linglei, Yulu, Tianxin and others to take care of. Besides, Chuyu hasn't been rescued yet. Brother Cangmang, you are the master of Cangmang and have a thousand disciples under you. Only Duomei is alone and a disciple of Kunlun. If there are any casualties, I should be the one to bear them!"

The four of them had all reached the level of immortals and were very open-minded about life and death. After arguing with each other, they all laughed.

Ge Xiaoyao said, "We haven't even finished our apprenticeship yet, so let's not talk about life and death!" He then said to Jiang Ziya, "Brother Jiang, our group is like this, but the other three groups don't have the strength to fight each other head-on!"
