Daoist Competition

During the magic duel between Wei Chi Yun and Xun Huaiying, Feng Haiyang and others used Lu Muqiu’s Divine Skills to observe everything clearly.

The Demon Sect came with only six people, far inferior to Xuanmen, so every step must be flawless, otherwise, they risk being toppled, especially when dealing with the Shaoqing Disciples, which is crucial.

Although Wei Chi Yun had the help of elders from all sects, he had never faced the Shaoqing Disciples in battle, so he wasn’t completely confident. Now, seeing Xun Huaiying being stalled, everyone who was tense relaxed a bit.

Yan Huixin of Jiuling Sect said relaxedly, "All our previous assistance to Junior Lu wasn’t in vain. Seeing him now, he can hold off Xun Huaiying for quite some time."

Sword Cultivators are skilled in Flying and are not afraid of encirclement, so even if they attack together, it’s useless. Conversely, Xun Huaiying has the Slaughter Sword skill, and one sword strike is unstoppable. Even if there was a Method to trap and kill him, they would likely lose one or two people in the process, so how could they compete with Xuanmen then? For such opponents, only containment is best.

Ms. Xu said with relief, "Thankfully, Shaoqing Disciples have always been solitary. If three came this time, it would be hard to resist."

Feng Haiyang laughed, "Shaoqing has always been like this since the swordfight began. There’s never an exception. Even if they sent three disciples, our Spirit Sect would figure out another way to handle it. Luck is with us. If we can compete, we will; if not, we’ll find ways to avoid it, ensuring no loss. There’s always a chance."

Though the Demon Sect’s luck is currently booming, their current strength is still much weaker than Xuanmen. Even if they defeat Xuanmen in this swordfight, it won’t shake its foundation. Only when the remaining Four Great Demon Caves of East Splendor Continent emerge will the Demon Sect truly flourish.

The five were speaking when suddenly their expressions changed, and they all had a sense of intuition.

Lu Muqiu quickly initiated a spell and said, "Two female cultivators appeared six hundred miles away. They should be disciples of the Lishan Sect..."

After a moment, he continued, "One hundred and fifty miles away, there are also two people. Judging by their appearance, they should be the Nie Brothers of the Nanhua Sect."

Due to the Guiding Talisman, disciples of all sects enter this place through different portals. Although they are in the same direction, they are spread out, with distances ranging from over a hundred miles to a thousand miles apart.

After casting two Divine Skills, although Lu Muqiu’s senses were sharp, he couldn’t cover everything and there would inevitably be oversights.

This time, he only detected the movements of the disciples from Lishan and Tai Hao Sects. He couldn’t be sure if there were any other sect disciples in the area.

Fortunately, Feng Haiyang released a thousand Devils patrolling the two ends. If anyone approached, they would be noticed in advance, preventing anyone from slipping by.

Using the "Heart Shadow Same Light" technique, Feng Haiyang also saw the newcomers clearly and immediately said, "According to our prior strategy, we should defeat them one by one before they join together. Among these two sects’ disciples, Lishan Sect’s cultivation is the weakest, so they should be dealt with first."

After speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "I’ll go now, and leave the rest to you all."

Everyone quickly returned the gesture, saying they didn’t dare.

Lu Muqiu didn’t dare delay and immediately performed a spell. A wisp of blue smoke passed by, revealing a Banner underground.

As Feng Haiyang stepped inside, the Banner flickered slightly and instantly flew off, disappearing in a flash.

After completing the spell, Lu Muqiu seemed slightly fatigued, sat down, took an Elixir Pill from his sleeve, swallowed it, and then meditated to absorb the pill’s power.

Casting this Divine Skill consumes considerable Mana. If the two from the Lishan Sect fled separately, he would need to assist Feng Haiyang by moving him quickly, faster than chasing them by flying. However, this requires consuming double the Mana, so he can only support Feng Haiyang alone. If another one was outside, he would be powerless.

As soon as Cao Minrou entered the Star Stone, she first activated her Protective Treasure Light and then quietly investigated. She found no Gang Wind there to utilize, so her speed would inevitably be slower than usual.

After thinking for a while, she took out three light feathers, blew on them, and performed a spell with her fingers. With a slight shake, three spirit birds emerged from her hands, chirping incessantly.

This was the "Spirit Transformation and Image Projection" technique. The birds appeared lifelike but were not real; they were transformed from Spiritual Energy and feathers.

Cao Minrou raised the back of her hand, and the three spirit birds flapped their wings and flew into the air, searching for the whereabouts of the other Three Sects’ Disciples.

Earlier, the Four Sect Disciples had agreed that once they entered this place, they must communicate via Flying Books to gather together early and avoid being defeated by the Demon Sect disciples one by one.
