“…that white-robed disciple of the Demonic Sect… so brave?”
The speaker was an ally of the Demon Refining Sect, the Demon King of Yan Mountain Lake.
These demons, who usually lurked in the mountains and rarely descended, had formed an alliance with the Demonic Sect. Each party got what they needed, and the demons no longer had to personally enter the world to harm people.
This time, it was the first time the Demon King of Yan Mountain Lake had set foot in the human world in his transformed form, participating in such a grand sect battle.
After seeing the scene of the bloodstained, ferocious young man in white robes on the screen, the Demon King’s eyes shone with admiration.
“What a brave and resolute young man, I like this kid.”
Among the crowd, some recognized the situation on the small Pingyang Hill.
“Is that… Elder Yan?”
“Indeed, it’s the law-enforcing Elder Yan Xiaoru…”
“Wasn’t it said that she had gone missing? She’s still not dead?”When the Demon King and the demonic cultivators recognized Yan Xiaoru’s identity, the atmosphere suddenly heated up.
Even the always silent sect leader of the Demonic Sect frowned at this moment.
In the past, this group of Blood Lotus Sect’s gutter rats could only survive in dark corners, avoiding the major cultivation sects.
But now, these gutter rats had caused trouble on the Demon Refining Sect’s territory, trapping the sect leader of the Demonic Sect and twelve elders and even capturing three elders of the Demonic Sect.
This was an absolute disgrace, and if word got out, it would be a laughingstock for both the righteous and demonic paths.
Now, seeing that another elder of the Demonic Sect was still alive and had not been captured by the Blood Lotus Sect, Gong Yanghong immediately made a decision.
“Mobilize troops to rescue Elder Yan!”
The Demon Refining Sect could not afford to have any more elders fall into the hands of the Blood Lotus Sect!
Even the three fallen elders had to be rescued somehow.
Gong Yanghong’s orders were quickly passed down.
How to rescue Elder Yan suddenly became the most pressing matter for the Demon Refining Sect before launching a full-scale attack, and one after another, the bigwigs of the Demonic Sect offered their opinions.
Above the flying boats, the escaping lights were dazzling.
On the densely populated land, more and more mortal warriors were being mobilized from the various cities under the Demonic Sect’s control.
When this assembly was completed, it would be the moment to launch the total assault.
At that time, the millions of mortal troops mobilized by the Demonic Sect would attack from six directions into the land where cultivation was sealed, relying on the overwhelming advantage of numbers to crush the demon followers of the Blood Lotus Sect.
However, such an assembly would still take a few more days…
……
On Pingyang Hill, today’s rain had paused.
Although the sky was still overcast, it was a rare cloudy day without rain.
Li Muyang sat in a tent with the curtains drawn, gritting his teeth, his body twitching from pain.
The indifferent Yan Xiaoru sat beside him, carefully wiping the blood from Li Muyang’s wounds before applying a cool, healing ointment.
Li Muyang’s body was covered with wounds of varying depths.
Even with the Martial God Tyrant Body, he couldn’t withstand the relentless attacks of the Blood Lotus Sect and the slashing of medium-grade spiritual weapons.
Li Muyang, who had never seen medium-grade spiritual weapons before, had been greeted by them continuously over the past few days.
Even with the holy healing medicine given by Yan Xiaoru, which could quickly heal wounds and regenerate flesh, the number of injuries on Li Muyang’s body was still frightening.
In the past two days, the Blood Lotus Sect at the foot of the mountain had gone mad, with their offensive suddenly becoming more fierce and frequent.
From dawn to dusk, the Blood Lotus Sect’s attacks came wave after wave, almost without pause.
Li Muyang and his companions had fought bloodily for two days and nights, and the corpses piled up on the mountainside were already numerous, but the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect were still fearlessly aggressive.
The two hundred or so people on Pingyang Hill had been fighting like trapped beasts for two days and nights, and now only one hundred and fifty remained.
Li Muyang sighed and said, “If it really comes to it, I’ll go down and talk to the people below. I can give up all the treatment they’ve offered me and surrender as long as the Blood Lotus Sect is willing to let you all go…”
Li Muyang’s words were directed at Yan Xiaoru.
This was one of his backup plans.
Pretend to join the Blood Lotus Sect in exchange for the safety of Yan Xiaoru and the others.
But upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoru, who was applying the ointment, frowned and looked at Li Muyang: “No!”
“If you join the Blood Lotus Sect, there’s no turning back.”
“The initiation ceremony of the Blood Lotus Sect requires a blood oath of eternal loyalty.”
“That kind of blood oath inherited from ancient times has no way to be broken. Once you take the oath, you can only become a follower of the Blood Lotus Sect, driven by the blood oath.”
Yan Xiaoru glared at Li Muyang and said, “By then, your parents in Jiuyuan City and your sister Li Yuechan will be implicated.”
“Joining the Blood Lotus Sect is a taboo shunned by both the righteous and demonic paths, and even I can’t protect your family!”
Yan Xiaoru repeated this seriously.
The two had discussed the feasibility of a feigned surrender before.
Listening to Yan Xiaoru’s stern warning, Li Muyang blinked and suddenly grinned, “Elder Yan, didn’t you previously advise me to leave the mountain? Why are you now not allowing me to go down and surrender?”
“You can’t bear to lose me?”
Yan Xiaoru’s hand, which was applying the ointment, stiffened slightly, then she forcefully pressed down on Li Muyang’s wound, roughly filling it with ointment.
The pain of the torn wound made Li Muyang gasp sharply.
“Ouch… it hurts, it hurts! I’m going to die, I’m going to die! Elder Yan, please be gentle.”
Li Muyang pleaded softly.
Yan Xiaoru then glared at him and her hands became gentle again.
“Times change. There was no hope two days ago, and descending the mountain to surrender was a way out.”
“But now it’s different. Two days ago, I saw Elder Ge’s refined corpse puppet Qing Bird flying over Pingyang Hill, circling and lingering for a long time.”
“The situation on Pingyang Hill must already be known to the sect leader and the others.”
Yan Xiaoru said expressionlessly, “Knowing my understanding of the sect leader, he will definitely spare no expense to rescue me after seeing that I am not dead.”
“One less Demonic Sect elder captured by the Blood Lotus Sect means the sect leader can save more face.”
“We just need to hold on for a few more days, and the sect leader’s rescue will arrive. There’s no need to surrender at this time.”
Yan Xiaoru finished speaking calmly and rationally and, at the same time, finished treating the wounds on Li Muyang’s body.
The man’s body began to visibly heal and scab over.
Li Muyang felt the itchy sensation of new flesh growing in his wounds and couldn’t help but twist his body uncomfortably.
He gritted his teeth and raised his eyebrows at Yan Xiaoru: “Is it just because of these reasons?”
Yan Xiaoru expressionless: “I also can’t bear to lose you… does this additional reason work for you?”
Only then did Li Muyang stretch out his arms with satisfaction and embrace the woman before him.
The two nestled close together, with Li Muyang resting his chin on Yan Xiaoru’s shoulder, gently inhaling the faint fragrance of the woman’s body, and said, “Xiaoru, you’re becoming more and more straightforward.”
Hearing his praise, Yan Xiaoru fell silent for several seconds. Feeling the man’s embrace, as well as those hands that were mischievously wandering around her waist…
Yan Xiaoru, an elder of the Demonic Sect, simply let out a soft sigh at this moment without any attempt to dodge or resist.
Even her weary body relaxed, quietly leaning into the man’s arms.
In the tent, the woman’s murmuring whispers could be heard.
“I should have killed you on the spot when I first came out of the secret realm of Demon Sword City…”
Amidst the stormy weather and the sky filled with the aura of blood and evil on Pingyang Hill, in this almost hopeless situation, the two quietly leaned on each other.
At this moment, they became each other’s only source of warmth.
