Deng Yin kept whispering into Shi Feiyang's ear, first in the left ear and then in the right, analyzing the pros and cons and urging him to release himself quickly.

Shi Feiyang ignored everything and focused solely on refining his Nine Swords and Nine Demons, waiting until the Gu Ying brothers subdued the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword.

The three of them came today not only to seize the sword but primarily for revenge. Shi Feiyang had killed their eldest brother, the Five Lascivious Venerable Liu Du. They were determined to kill Shi Feiyang and to take his Nine Swords as well!

With Xu Wan's death, his altar city had shattered. Shi Feiyang's right flank was left defenseless, and the three flew directly into the Demon Cloud Blood Mist to attack him.

Shi Feiyang's main energy was needed to counteract the Demon Tribulation. Distracted, he struggled to defeat these three Sect Leader Level Demon Humans. He simply opened the Ding Cover, releasing the five thousand demon souls within.

Led by the Elephant Dragon, five thousand Demon Beasts appeared, moving like deep-sea monsters in the blood-red mist.

The three released various Magical Treasures such as the Seven Killings Demon Saber, Taiyin Flying Fork, and Destruction Divine Needle, and immediately plunged into the ocean of monsters.

The Yu Ding, having been re-sacrificially refined by Shi Feiyang, was much more powerful than when it had faced Kuzhu at the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain. Amidst the Demon Tribulation Blood Mist, the three were deeply cautious. Many powerful spells couldn't be used. Not willing to confront the Demon Beasts directly, they used an Escape Skill to weave through and aimed for the Central Altar where Shi Feiyang was.

As soon as these three made their move, the Emei Sect also took action.

Master You Tan said, "Those three Demon disciples of the old Xuanyuan have attacked. This is our only opportunity to prevent the Demon Dragon from refining the Demon Sword."

After saying this, she looked toward Qi Shuming.

Qi Shuming had initiated this affair, and the main force was the Emei Sect. Although she was a senior, she merely provided advice; decisions still had to be approved by the Emei Sect Leader.

Qi Shuming immediately decided to divide their forces. He wouldn't concern himself with Poison Hand Mo Shen for now. The primary goal was the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's Chi You Demon Sword and Shi Feiyang's Nine Demon Swords. He asked Master You Tan to lead disciples Su Yin and Yuqing to destroy Shi Feiyang's Nine Demon Swords. They would still attack from the front to fight the Wutai Sect.

Master You Tan sighed without saying much and led the two disciples westwards, following behind Gu Ying's team to attack the Central Altar.

The Divine Nun's Buddha Light was incredibly mystical. A Golden Radiance protected herself and the two disciples, allowing them to move through the Demon Fog unseen. The Heavenly Demons seemed blind to them, and the Yu Ding's Demon Beasts took no notice, letting the three nuns freely weave through.

Soon, the three reached the front of the altar. Their primary objective was to destroy the swords, not to kill, so they didn't head directly under the main altar but instead circled to the nine Sword Altars on the south side.

Meanwhile, in front of Shi Feiyang was placed a mirror—the Heavenly Treasure Mirror once used by the Myriad Cold Centipede. It was laid flat, with its reflective side up, and on it rested a dark red glass lamp—the Heavenly Secret Demon God Lamp.

The lamp flames burned quietly, reflecting the images of three figures—it was the Gu Ying brothers moving among thousands of Demon Beasts.

Shi Feiyang first captured the True Form of the three with the Heavenly Talisman Treasure Mirror, then positioned the Demon Lamp and executed the Secret Demon Great Technique.

Unbeknownst to them, illusions appeared to the three brothers.

These three were also formidable experts. Shi Feiyang dared not fabricate too much, only creating slight illusions in critical places to cause a small cognitive shift in the three. This divergence from reality led them not directly to his main altar but around to the nine Sword Altars in the south instead.

The three Demon Humans and Master You Tan's group stared at each other, the atmosphere turning awkward for a moment...

If it were normal times, even if Master You Tan valued her reputation and would not take advantage of a weaker opponent, she would have seized and destroyed the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword they had just acquired. But now, with the situation being special, she hoped to let the brothers forge ahead to confront Shi Feiyang while they seized the opportunity to take the sword. Now that they had encountered each other, it wasn't easy to let the others go first.

The Gu Ying brothers knew this old nun was formidable. Under different circumstances, the three brothers together likely wouldn't lose to her. However, since Gu Ying had lost his corporeal body recently, the newly acquired Immortal Slaying Sword could only be roughly sealed and was not yet usable. Meanwhile, the opposition had two disciples, making a fight likely to end in their defeat.

The youngest brother, Blood Rock Hermit, communicated telepathically, "What shall we do? It's obvious the old nun also wants to seize the sword and kill."

The second brother, Blood Rock Hermit (Note), responded, "Given today's situation, it's expected that the old nun wouldn't act rashly. They are here to kill and seize the sword just like us, we needn't clash with them. The second brother already has an Immortal Slaying Sword, we just each take one more and proceed to kill Shi to revenge our senior, without creating unnecessary complications."

"Third brother makes sense!" Gu Ying expressed his approval.

Just as they finished speaking, they heard nun Su Yin say on the other side, "Master, those three Demon Humans are taking two swords, are we just taking the remaining seven?"

Master You Tan pondered, "Logically, not only these nine but we should also take the others and destroy them all."

Nun Su Yin said, "Looking at their intent, they seem determined. Are we going to fight them here?"

Master You Tan replied, "We can't act here. These places are full of Heavenly Demons. Although they aren't targeting us, Demons are extremely avaricious and won't forgo any advantage. We must be cautious, as a single slip could advantage the Demons and corrupt our spirit. We need to take the fight outside."
