Fortunately, although Cui Wugu could not overpower her opponents, she could hold them off for a moment.
Seeing that they were overpowering Cui Wugu and about to claim victory, the surroundings suddenly stirred as strong winds and clouds emerged. From the east, a pillar-like column of blue energy rose, from the west surged a vast expanse of white clouds, from the south leapt hundreds of red glows, and from the north came a great amount of black haze. The four-colored smoke converged towards the center, where Ling Hun appeared high in the sky, casting down clumps of yellow mist.
This was a Magical Treasure called the Five Mountains Cloud Bag, which Cui Wugu had gathered from wandering through various mountains and collected mists and clouds, refining them into a Magical Treasure, her Treasure of the Cave.
Eight cultivators from the Kongtong Sect and Cui Wugu directly attacked, and they could have won. However, those quick to react might have fled in time. Ling Hun, resolute in his decision, wanted to eliminate them all to deter and shock those who dared to strike against his Snow Mountain Sect disciples, and also those who plotted behind the scenes.
Thus, he employed this tactic to let Cui Wugu engage them while he calmly set up his strategy, using his Five Clouds Pavilion together with Cui Wugu's Five Mountains Cloud Bag, sealing off tens of miles around them, ensuring not even a fly could escape. Ling Hun then descended and began a massacre. His Flying Sword, like a giant jade dragon, soared and dived, wrapping up three demon cultivators. He unleashed Divine Thunder and mobilized the Light Energy of the Five Clouds Pavilion, pushing forward hundreds of colorful smoke, enveloping and capturing all Flying Needles, flying knives, and various Magical Treasures launched by the demon cultivators, leaving only the Secret Demon Yin Thunder capable of blasting through the clouds.
Three demon cultivators could not withstand Ling Hun's attack and soon another was slain by him. More demon cultivators came to help. Cui Wugu, from below, surged upwards, bringing with her a fierce Golden Bright Flame and thunderous roars. The couple, working together from above and below, broke through the Nine Heavens Seal Formation in one fell swoop.
The remaining six elders of the Kongtong Sect couldn't withstand their assaults. Even with their disciples, they were useless, losing over a dozen more, and the survivors started scrambling like rats, looking for ways to escape. However, Ling Hun had sealed the exits, and indeed, not even a fly could escape.
Cruelly, Ling Hun let them rush into the midst of the clouds, then tightened the trap. The desperate band pushed outward, but the more they did, the tighter and more pressurizing it became, like crashing into mud. When there was no path forward and they thought to turn back, they found the rear equally blocked—all around, the colorful smoke was denser and heavier than soil, eventually suffocating them. Their bones were gradually crushed, their bodies compressed into a lump of flesh, as their Primordial Spirits were also trapped inside, unable to escape.
From the time Ling Hun stepped out of the great hall, the entire battle, solved in about the time it took for a meal, left all the people of Kongtong Sect, including that Evil Mute Yuan Da, slain, their bodies annihilated, and their Primordial Spirits completely shattered.
The remnants of the flesh balls with sealed Primordial Spirits floated in the air; he individually pointed at them, blowing each apart.
At that time, Shi Feiyang in Qiao Mountain held the "Heavenly Mechanism Book" casting spells to summon souls, with every death, their Divine Souls were immediately collected, even the lingering ones handed over to E'er Shengfan for repair.
Ling Hun looked up at the sky and said to Cui Wugu, "These fellows, they deserved to die! If left in the world, they would only harm others. If it were up to me, I'd have them utterly destroyed, Body and soul are destroyed. Shi, you gathered their residual souls, much kinder than me!"
Cui Wugu remained silent.
Chen Yufeng and many others could never have imagined that Ling Hun and his wife would be in Xi'an, and right within the Snow Mountain Sect's Daoist Temple!
Evidently, they had considered this initially, even used spells to calculate it. The Gua Xiang showed that the couple was always in the south, so how did they suddenly return? Even if it was Shi Feiyang's Flying Sword Transmission, or another casting of spell sounds, they should have been able to predict it.
And no one could blame anyone else for this matter, for everyone had made calculations using different methods at the time, yet no one had predicted the real outcome.
It was indeed too embarrassing, not only because everyone had failed to calculate it, but also because they had been outmaneuvered by the opponent, which also offended Ling Hun and his wife.
Ling Hun's popularity wasn't good, but Cui Wugu was well liked, and several people present were friends with Cui Wugu. How would they face each other in the future? What would they say when they met?
In the entire cave, everyone fell silent, trapped in an awkward stillness.
Chen Yufeng stood up to apologize to everyone, "My skills are shallow and weak, I miscalculated twice, causing me to harm my two fellow disciples from the past, and now we have deeply offended a friend..."
Everyone hurried to console her, some saying that the previous instance was not a miscalculation, after all, they had managed to capture the Demon Dragon's Demon Sword.
Some directly blamed Ling Hun and his wife for mixing with Shi Feiyang, deeming themselves fallen, saying that sooner or later they too would enter the Demon Path, and might even become everyone's enemy and target for extermination.
People encouraged Chen Yufeng to think of new tactics, but Chen Yufeng repeatedly declined.
Jiang Xuejun suddenly spoke up, "What more strategies do we need? We should listen to me, let's just attack Qiao Mountain directly. Could he possibly fight against so many of us alone? If he can escape with his life, that would be his fortune!"
Those who had experienced the ordeal at the Star Constellations Sea quickly came out to emphasize how extremely formidable Shi Feiyang was, urging her not to underestimate him.
But Jiang Xuejun was not convinced, "I know, he has cultivated many Demon Path Techniques, even mastered the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon, but so what? I have the Soundless Divine Thunder gifted by my master, specifically designed to suppress all demons and devils. Even the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon I can blast to pieces, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword I can also destroy! We practice the Righteous Skill on the Righteous Path, what is there to hesitate about? We should just march forth and fight!"
She had always been a scourge to those on the fringe and the Demon Path, many left-path cultivators would tremble upon her name, and upon hearing her name, they would rush to escape, for not only was her own mana formidable, her master Yan Yingmu's cultivation was Perfect, just waiting for body ascension to the Immortal Realm. In the entire Shushan World, few could match her master, thus she never hesitated when killing the wicked, of course, those she deemed wicked.
Just after Zhu Youmu had defeated Elder Yuan and seized the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, he was filled with pride and joy, and upon hearing her words, he expressed his agreement, "Just as Xuejun said, why discuss calculations with that Demon Dragon, just go directly to Qiao Mountain and slay him!"
His master, Bai Mei Zen Master, was also among the top figures in this world, so his mindset was quite similar to Jiang Xuejun's, and with the Magical Treasure taught by his master, specialized in suppressing demons, the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon and the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword might be terrifying to others, but in his eyes, they were nothing significant.
