The Demon Lord of All Forms

Chapter 73 Hidden Dangers

Shi Luosheng's smile froze.

Wu Yishu loosely clenched her left hand, and the golden light on the Golden Dawn Blade shone brightly again, even more intensely and violently than before. The blade emitted a buzzing vibration, as if a wild beast that had been suppressed for too long had finally broken free of its shackles.

"Even if you corrupt her, it won't save your life."

Shi Luosheng's expression finally changed. Wu Yishu's aura was still erupting, far exceeding his expectations.

"Senior Sister Meng, I will avenge you."

Wu Yishu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Without the slightest hesitation, she slashed down at Meng Nanyi and Shi Luosheng with her Golden Dawn Blade. The blade light poured down like a great river flowing eastward, splitting the heavens and earth with a single strike, and crashed down with a deafening roar!

Shi Luosheng looked on in shock and disbelief at Wu Yishu, who had acted without hesitation. He had thought that with Meng Nanyi in front of him, the Huangtian Sect members would be hesitant to act, but he did not expect that this woman did not care at all.

With a furious roar, the thirteen demonic swords in front of Shi Luosheng intertwined and spun, transforming into a huge, turbid ball of light, within which demonic energy surged and boiled, blocking his way.

The blade flashed and fell.

As dawn broke, the mountains and forests were bathed in golden light. With a deafening roar, Wu Yishu's blade cleaved a massive ravine across half the mountain, causing rocks to crumble, the mountain to tremble, and the entire Qiyun Mountain to be nearly split in two.

The turbid sphere of light lasted only a moment before it exploded with a deafening roar. Countless streams of demonic energy swirled and scattered. The thirteen celestial demons let out mournful howls the instant the sphere shattered, and were torn to pieces amidst the surging blade light.

Shi Luosheng's face showed resentment and malice, knowing that he had lost this time.

With a sharp shout, Shi Luosheng's body suddenly exploded, his flesh turning into a sky full of blood mist, leaving only a streak of blood light that pierced through the air at an extraordinary speed, disappearing hundreds of feet away in the blink of an eye.

Wu Yishu's expression was icy, her left hand loosely clenched, then her five fingers suddenly tightened.

Above the mountains, countless scattered weapons and magical artifacts rose up simultaneously. Swords, spears, halberds, hammers, seals, bells, banners—more than a hundred magical artifacts were drawn together by an invisible force at the same moment, transforming into a rain of light that swept across the sky and shot towards the fleeing Bloodlight.

The light rainbows fell like rain, dense and numerous, blocking all of Bloodlight's escape routes.

The blood-red light surged left and right, smashing one magical artifact after another, but there were too many artifacts for it to avoid them all. A sword light pierced through the blood-red light, causing it to tremble violently; a blade light slashed through, thinning the blood-red light even further; then a golden light followed closely behind, completely tearing the remaining blood-red light apart.

Shi Luosheng's screams echoed in the sky for a moment before abruptly ceasing.

The bloodstains vanished, turning into nothingness.

After a long while, the light, like rain, finally disappeared.

The entire mountain has disappeared, replaced by a deep, arc-shaped ravine that stretches from the mountainside to the summit, splitting Qiyun Mountain in two.

Wu Yishu stood amidst the blood-stained ruins, her white clothes covered in dust and bloodstains, indistinguishable as to whether they were from the enemy or her own. The Golden Dawn Blade hung at her side, its golden light gradually fading, returning to the shape of a slender short blade.

Meng Nanyi's body lay on the edge of the ditch, her clothes torn and covered in blood. Her bloodshot eyes were finally closed, and the marks on her face were indistinguishable as to whether they were tears or blood.

Wu Yishu stared at Meng Nanyi's corpse, gripping the knife, and fell silent.

Based on the memories of the five men in black, Gu Changyuan flew northwest, his figure moving like the wind through the mountains, his aura concealed to the extreme, without a trace of leakage.

As night deepened, the stars and moon swirled overhead, and Mount Qiyun behind them had long since disappeared below the horizon. The deafening sounds of battle finally dissipated completely in the wind.

The journey was safe and uneventful.

Five memories surged within Gu Changyuan's mind, merging and corroborating each other. As he flew away, he digested this information, piecing it together into a complete picture.

This so-called siege of the Heavenly Demon Palace disciples was indeed a trap, but it was not set by the Heavenly Demon Palace, but by the Yellow Heaven Sect's own people.

The opponent's objective was simple: to surround and kill the remaining forces of Xuanwu Palace and Baihu Palace, weaken the foundation of the disciples of the two palaces, use the disciples of Tianmo Palace on Qiyun Mountain as bait, use Shi Luosheng who was lying in ambush outside as the butcher, and use the disciples of the two palaces who went there for training as fish on the chopping block. It was just that the opponent misjudged Wu Yishu's strength.

The five men in black were from the Azure Dragon Palace and the Vermilion Bird Palace. Their masters were Shi Jiujing, the master of the Azure Dragon Palace, and Yi Qianyu, the master of the Vermilion Bird Palace.

Gu Changyuan flew through the night wind, his brows slightly furrowed. Shi Jiujing and Yi Qianyu were both True Persons who had survived a Heavenly Tribulation, and their strength was no weaker than Qin Youwei's. However, the two of them alone would not dare to attack their fellow disciples. After all, above the Four Palace Masters were the true rulers of the Yellow Heaven Sect, the two Great True Persons, Sect Master Feng Daochen and Elder Zhang Zihe.

There must be someone behind Shi Jiujing and Yi Qianyu. Gu Changyuan guessed that it should be Elder Zhang Zihe.

Although Gu Changyuan had not been a member of the Yellow Heaven Sect for long, he had already heard of Zhang Zihe's name. This elder and the sect leader Feng Daochen were both disciples of the previous sect leader Qing Yanji, and the two were originally fellow disciples.

The former sect leader, Qing Yanji, fought a fierce battle with Chang Suiyin, the previous sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Palace, resulting in mutual injuries. Shortly after returning to the mountain, he passed away. Before his death, he passed on the position of sect leader to Feng Daochen.

However, some people in the sect have always said that the old sect leader originally wanted to pass the mantle to Zhang Zihe, who had a higher level of cultivation. But Feng Daochen, as the senior brother, had already come into contact with the Huangtian Sect's treasure, the Four Pillars of Hun Tian, ​​so he suppressed Zhang Zihe and became the thirty-eighth sect leader of the Huangtian Sect.

Everyone within the Huangtian Sect knew that Feng Daochen and Zhang Zihe were at odds. Both of them were exceptionally talented individuals who, within a mere century after the old sect leader's death, consecutively survived the Twenty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and advanced to the rank of Great True Person, thus supporting the then-fallen Huangtian Sect.

In the beginning, the two were relatively restrained. After all, the Yellow Heaven Sect was in turmoil at that time. Without a Grand Master to oversee it, it could be destroyed by other demonic sects at any time. Even if Feng Daochen and Zhang Zihe were fighting amongst themselves, they would not disregard the survival of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

After the two successfully advanced to the rank of Great True Person, Feng Daochen took charge of Huangtian Divine Mountain, suppressed the chaos within the sect, eliminated many disciples who had been corrupted by demons, opened up the sect's resources, and filled the positions of the four palace masters in the shortest possible time.

Zhang Zihe, alone with his sword, stormed into the ancestral temple of the Heavenly Demon Palace and killed Chang Suiyin, the old sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Palace who had severely injured Qing Yanji, thus avenging his master.

The Heavenly Demon Palace was almost swallowed up by other demonic forces. It was only with the intervention of the Primordial Mountain that it managed to preserve its foundation and has gradually recovered over the years.

It can be said that both of them made significant contributions to the Yellow Heaven Sect.

However, if the two completely break off relations, the Yellow Heaven Sect will inevitably fall into chaos. What worries Gu Changyuan even more is that if Zhang Zihe is really behind this, then the situation is far more dangerous than a simple power struggle. Zhang Zihe may have already joined forces with the Heavenly Demon Palace.
