"Sword Pavilion disciples, meet the enemy!"
At this moment, the bell sound echoing within the Sword Pavilion's mountain gate became increasingly loud. One by one, Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones drove escaping light out, attempting to close the breach in the mountain-protecting grand array.
However, how could the attacking Saint Sect Perfected Ones allow this?
For a time, it could be said that the Eight Immortals crossing the sea each displayed their spiritual powers. As soon as the Saint Sect Perfected Ones entered the formation, they immediately brought out various means to defile and destroy the formation.
The entire Sword Pavilion instantly turned into a chaotic mess.
"What exactly is going on...?"
Among them were also Perfected Ones who were at a loss, knowing nothing about the outside situation due to seclusion. Seeing such a drastic change, their first reaction was—
"Where is Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon?"
Similar questions rose one after another within the Sword Pavilion.
After all, if Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon were still there, presiding over the Extreme Heaven Cliff, suppressing the world with one sword, even Saint Sect Perfected Ones couldn't possibly attack so openly.
What exactly happened?
"Patriarch Ye!"
A Sword Pavilion Perfected One unaware of the inside story immediately came to Ye Shaoying's side and asked: "Has Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon gone into seclusion? Please ask him to come out quickly."
"Indeed!"
Another Sword Pavilion Perfected One chimed in, even carrying a bit of complaint: "Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon is too careless. Suddenly going into seclusion without even saying a word..."
A few simple sentences made Ye Shaoying press his lips together, his emotions indescribable. However, this kind of thing couldn't be hidden. He could only bite the bullet and grit his teeth: "Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon... has already defected from the Sword Pavilion and even slashed and injured Perfected One Warding-Evil. Fellow Daoists, do not count on him anymore!"
Once these words came out, all sounds were silenced.
All Sword Pavilion Perfected Ones who heard this sentence stood dazed on the spot, as if hearing some incomprehensible statement, revealing looks of blankness.
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon defected from the Sword Pavilion?
What kind of joke is this!
However, everyone understood that Ye Shaoying couldn't speak nonsense about such things. Therefore, no matter how unbelievable, everyone knew this was probably true...
So the next question surfaced:
What to do?
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon defected from the Sword Pavilion and even slashed and injured Perfected One Warding-Evil. Didn't this mean the current Sword Pavilion didn't even have a single Foundation Establishment Perfection?
Only at this moment, looking at the blank expressions on the faces of many Sword Pavilion Perfected Ones, did Ye Shaoying experience for the first time just how great Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's influence within the Sword Pavilion was. Before that, everyone felt Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon was pedantic, felt he was a misfit, a freak within the Sword Pavilion.
But now, he was gone.
For a time, everyone actually didn't know how to respond.
Because previously it was always "let Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon take action," so now that Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon was gone, everything he shouldered instantly crashed onto their heads.
Only then did many previously unaware Sword Pavilion Perfected Ones realized how much the Sword Pavilion had always relied on their number one sword cultivator.
Pity, it was too late.
Boom!
Outside the Sword Pavilion's mountain gate, under the efforts of a group of Saint Sect Perfected Ones, the breach on the formation was further expanded, finally forcibly turned into a gateway.
"The time has come!"
Only then did Xiang Ye's figure finally appear, his face carrying a thick look of excitement:
"Fellow Daoist did well... For this invasion of the Sword Pavilion, Fellow Daoist contributed greatly. If we rob the Sword Pavilion's treasury, Fellow Daoist can choose any three items!"
Invading the Sword Pavilion!
This was something countless Saint Sect Acting Sect Masters dreamed of but never achieved. Now he had done it. It was truly extremely satisfying!
Even better, now that Vanquishing-Demon has gone to the Pure Land, there's no need to worry about trouble from the Pure Land side; they have no mind to come over and support the Sword Pavilion. As for the Dao Court...hmph, they're just guard dogs, content with their small territory, they're even less likely to come. This is my chance to make a fortune!'!
Maybe the resources for seeking Golden Core are right here!
Thinking of this, Xiang Ye couldn't wait any longer. Rushing faster than Lu Yang, he disappeared into the Sword Pavilion in the blink of an eye, preparing to loot wantonly first!
Everyone is in chaos...
On the other side, Lu Yang was unhurried. Seeing the situation in great chaos, he instead withdrew his divine ability, concealed his figure, and then quietly landed.
lthough Xiang Ye had some understanding of the Sword Pavilion—after all, they were sworn enemies—he was currently heading towards palaces that might contain valuable treasures. But how could he compare to Lu Yang, a true disciple of the Sword Pavilion's elite? He was the one who knew best where the Sword Pavilion held the most treasures!
Moreover, he had an insider.
Lu Yang quickly arrived at a remote place. There, the formation separated, and a beautiful figure poked her head out from within.
"Master... over here!"
Perfected One Xiu Xin!
Unlike the Ancestor of the Yun Family, he hadn't used this [Marionette] for a long time. However, at this moment, she played the role of a surprise troop perfectly!
The reason was simple.
Perfected One Xiu Xin was a Guest Elder of the Ye Family!
In other words, she knew the location of the Ye Family's clan land in the Sword Pavilion and had formation access rights... With her, Lu Yang could drive straight in!
"Go, lead the way!"
Lu Yang didn't say another word, diving directly into the formation entrance opened by Perfected One Xiu Xin. Immediately changing his appearance, he followed Perfected One Xiu Xin to sneak all the way in.
However, soon, they ran head-on into a Ye Family Perfected One going out to meet the enemy. The other party was in a hurry. Seeing Perfected One Xiu Xin and Lu Yang walking back against the flow of people at a glance, he immediately landed and scolded angrily: "Xiu Xin! With a great enemy before us, why are you fleeing from battle?"
Perfected One Xiu Xin hurriedly explained: "Elder misunderstood..."
"Say no more!"
That Ye Family Perfected One frowned tightly, saying coldly: "Disobeying clan orders at a time of crisis, you are suspected of being a spy! Follow me now to atone for your crimes through meritorious service!"
After speaking, he also calculated in his heart:
The situation is dangerous this time, and the demons are ferocious. It's hard to guarantee safety going out alone. its just right to bring Xiu Xin along; if necessary, I can let her sacrifice herself to save me...
Anyway, she is a Guest Elder.
And so-called Guest Elders were meant to do this for the Ye Family. Even if she died, at worst, he would give her a Ye Family collateral identity after reincarnation.
Thinking it seriously, this was her opportunity!
While the Ye Family Perfected One was calculating his petty plan here, he saw a person suddenly walk out from behind Perfected One Xiu Xin, raising his head to reveal a smiling, handsome face.
This person is...
Before he could react, that person's appearance changed.
Boom!
Lu Yang's figure disappeared, replaced by a majestic demonic shadow with three heads and six arms, supporting the sky and stepping on the earth. Its green-face and fangs stared straight at him!
[Heavenly Governing Myriad Phenomena]!
This 2nd grade True Art had now been cultivated to the second step by him. This was thanks to Hong Ju, who actually remembered the instructions Lu Yang gave him earlier.
Meeting again this time, he actually secretly sent him a wisp of Qi from the [Myriad Martial World Realm]!
Relying on the second Qi Gathering, Lu Yang finally successfully removed the [Dharma Body]. At this moment, it merging with the main body, gathering and dispersing at will, there was no longer a distinction between main body and dharma body!
"You!?"
The Ye Family Perfected One's eyes widened. Just as he wanted to speak, he was grabbed by the three-headed, six-armed demonic statue Lu Yang transformed into. His cultivation base was only slightly stronger than Perfected One Xiu Xin, not even reaching Middle Stage Foundation Establishment. Although he struggled hard, he was instantly suppressed and sealed by the mighty power on the demonic statue.
Immediately after, Lu Yang's aura erupted fully.
"Foreign enemy invasion!"
"How can he be here..."
"Its bad!! Who led the wolf into the house?"
Especially Ye Shaoying. He had just fled back to the family in a sorry state. Seeing this scene, he almost fainted from anger. He hadn't even known his house was harboring a traitor!
On the other side, Lu Yang paced leisurely.
Behind him, the Myriad Spirits Banner fluttered. Patriarch Nether Whisper's figure emerged, an excited emotion appearing on his usually calm face for the first time.
Patriarch, the time for revenge has come.
That Perfected Lord of the Ye Family isn't here; today we'll collect some interest first.
As his voice fell, following Patriarch Nether Whisper, countless Banner Spirits walked out one after another. Forming groups, they clustered around Lu Yang like stars arching over the moon.
"Pass down my decree."
Lu Yang said lightly: "Exterminate the family, leave no one alive!"
