Xiao Yue Demon Monk was bombarded by a hail-like Ice Soul Divine Thunder from Deng Bagu which threw him backward a hundred meters, and fell back into the Demon Formation behind him.

The crowd gathered together, Deng Bagu, Luo Ziyuan, Xiong Man, Xiao Shijiumei, Li Yingqiong, and Zhou Qingyun standing at the forefront.

Zhu Ping, Du Fangheng, Lin Su'e, Wu Wenqi, Yu Yinggu, and the disheveled, continuously weeping Ling Yunfeng all stood behind.

Xiao Yue Demon Monk roared again, wrapped in Demon Fire and flew out from the formation, his body surrounded by fiery dragons. "You wretched witches! All seeking death! Deng Bagu! You actually sided with the Emei Sect! Many elders from the Emei Sect died at the hands of you and your master, and you tried to appease and flatter them, to win their favor?"

Deng Bagu laughed coldly, "I came today just to help my senior sister Xiong and also to spare Yu Yunzhong the suffering of Soul Refinement under your capture. What does this have to do with the Emei Sect? Besides, there's still unsettled old scores between us. If you're not convinced, let's find a place and duel again, fighting out life and death this time, how about that?"

Brooding especially over her Snow Soul Pearl, the Xiao Yue Demon Monk dreaded her.

Ignoring Deng Bagu's challenge, he bit his tongue tip, spitting Essence Blood to spur the Demon Fire behind him into a giant tsunami-like wave, instantly creating tens of thousands of fire dragons and, together with his two Flying Swords, and four Magical Treasures, swept over to the other side.

Luo Ziyuan, Xiong Man, and others also unleashed their Flying Swords and Magical Treasures.

Purple Ying Sword, Green Rope Sword, Najie Ring, Muni Bead, Qingping, Plum Blossom, embroidery needles... all came flying over, clashing with the multitude of fire dragons and fire demons in the sky.

With the Twelve Supreme Heaven Divine Slaughter Formation at his back to rely on, despite three destroyed banners, the presiding Twelve Supreme Heaven Evil Demons still existed, endlessly bringing forth fire dragons and fire demons from destruction.

So many people from the opposite side attacked simultaneously, handling the incoming Flying Sword Magical Treasures, diffusing fire dragons and fire demons, but the flames grew more numerous, encroaching from all four directions, top to bottom.

Seeing the Twelve Supreme Heaven Evil Demons almost ready to encircle them with flames again, Deng Bagu raised the Snow Soul Pearl. The treasure spun in the air, casting a frost-like cold light that wherever it landed, extinguished and scattered the flames.

After an hour of continuous attack by Xiao Yue Demon Monk, all assaults were effortlessly dissolved by Deng Bagu, his gaze at the Snow Soul Pearl full of resentment and much despair.

Having spent countless efforts to fuse the Twelve Supreme Heaven Divine Slaughter of Grandmaster Ha Ha with the Huashan Sect's Heavenly Intense Fire Formation, either of these was a supreme divine method securing a sect, and their fusion made them even more powerful!

It formed the basis and confidence for his dominance across the world and for seeking revenge on the Emei Sect, fulfilling all his wild ambitions.

Yet now, it was utterly restrained by that single bead!

He suddenly remembered what Shi Feiyang had once told him—if he could fuse these two forces, he would be unrivaled, a sentiment that now seemed suspicious.

Perhaps even then, Shi Feiyang had foreseen this exact scenario, no matter how hard he tried and how much effort he invested, it was ultimately suppressed completely by his disciple's Snow Soul Pearl!

In an instant, he felt betrayed! Fooled by Shi Feiyang with this worthless trinket, swindling his Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture!

Already furious, his wrath soared again, unable to restrain himself from spewing a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the mental methods of the Mysterious Sect over many years and still had some Dao foundation.

He spat blood, not fire; if he had directly spit fire, he would have spontaneously combusted from the inside!

Nevertheless, he still suffered a recoil, his heart and veins burned, and he fainted, plummeting from the sky.

Seeing his Primordial Spirit lose control, the Twelve Supreme Heaven Evil Demons were the first to delight, pouncing on his body to usurp control.

The demons forged from those he had killed and refined also rushed into his body, eager to devour his flesh and swallow his Three Souls and Seven Spirits!

Deng Bagu and the others did not continue to attack, merely watching quietly.

However, Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun refused to let go, with a light shout, the Purple and Blue Double Swords, transformed into a hundred-meter long rainbow like an angry dragon entering water, chased after the fainted Xiao Yue Demon Monk.

Just nearing the water surface, they caught up, swords crossed and slashed, cutting the already comatose, nightmare-entrapped Xiao Yue Demon Monk horizontally into three pieces.

The three sections of his corpse fell into the ocean. Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun, adhering to their resolve to eradicate evil, continued their pursuit.

The Purple and Blue Double Swords could sever a person's Primordial Spirit, but someone like Xiao Yue Demon Monk would definitely not be killed; at most, they could only cause some injury.

In the original manuscript, the Purple and Blue Double Swords couldn't even completely eliminate Purple Cloud Palace's Sanfeng, who still reincarnated as Yang Yingxue.

The two plunged into the ocean, intent on eradicating Xiao Yue Demon Monk's Primordial Spirit.

As the twin sword rainbows of purple and blue entered the water, the sea suddenly turned red.

Within dozens of miles, all the water became blood-red, seemingly transformed into blood, and began forming whirlpools.

Deng Bagu told the others, "People from the Western Sect have arrived, they now possess twelve Undying Bodies. If we don't want additional complications, we'd better leave quickly."

Everyone else also knew that the Western Sect had been thriving in recent years and this West Sea was their territory. If they mobilized collectively, they certainly couldn't resist.

"But what about junior sister Li and junior sister Zhou…" Wu Wenqi said worriedly.

"They have the Purple and Blue Double Swords, they can certainly escape if they want." Deng Bagu waved her hand dismissively, "We have an appointment to meet and duel with Shaoyang God Monarch, we'll leave first. Sister Xiong, let's part ways for now!"

After she finished speaking, she transformed into a burst of bright white cold light, soaring upward into the high sky, then flew toward the Southwest.

Seeing her leave, Luo Ziyuan also said urgently, "Let's go quickly too!"

As her voice fell, two explosions sounded from the sea below, following which the Purple and Blue Double Swords shot out of the water, and Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun emerged again. Once in the air, they appeared somewhat disheveled.

Luo Ziyuan had just summoned the Najie Ring when suddenly, the sky darkened dramatically, and ghostly wails and divine howls filled the air.

Using the Najie Ring, she protected everyone; Xiong Man took out the Michen Banner, gave it a gentle shake, and released a burst of golden light that enveloped them all. With a loud "crack" of thunder, they broke through the darkness and headed straight East, reaching Central Earth in an instant and landing atop a high mountain where they finally stopped.

The three women from Min Mountain had finished their visit to White Rainbow Island and were going off to attend to other matters, bidding farewell to everyone.

Li Yingqiong, Zhou Qingyun, Wu Wenqi, Yu Yinggu, and Ling Yunfeng of the Emei Sect headed together, preparing to return to Emei Mountain.

However, Ling Yunfeng would not consent, bursting into loud tears, feeling her life was utterly ruined, while the other four women hurried to console her.

Li Yingqiong said, "Xiao Yue Demon Monk has been vanquished, and our vengeance is fulfilled."

Yu Yinggu added, "Not just the Demon Monk, but Yu Yunzhong who bullied you is also dead. Your tribulation has passed, and now you can cultivate peacefully."

Ling Yunfeng cried, "My 'truth' is lost, what 'truth' is there left for me to cultivate!"

She had already resolved to die, having previously declared she would kill Yu Yunzhong before taking her own life. Now that Yu Yunzhong was dead, she indeed no longer wanted to live.

Fearing that Li Yingqiong and the others would stop her, she wept and said, "The Magical Treasures bestowed by my aunt and master are all lost, how can I face my master again..."

Zhou Qingyun exclaimed in shock, "Even the Divine Yu Order is lost?"

Ling Yunfeng cried even harder.

Li Yingqiong said, "That's not the end of the world. Let's return to the mountain first, report to our master, then diligently cultivate, and in the future, we can smash through West Pole Mountain and retrieve our treasures!"

Ling Yunfeng grasped Li Yingqiong's hand, "Junior sister, you must retrieve my belongings in the future and never let them fall into the hands of Demon Humans."

Li Yingqiong repeatedly assured her.

She began to sob and stood up, using the moment of adjusting her hair and turning around, she thrust her personal Flying Sword through her body.

Li Yingqiong and the others were shocked, and when they rushed to save her, it was already too late—Ling Yunfeng's Nascent Soul escaped from her body, bowed towards Emei Mountain, and then disappeared with the wind in an instant.

The remaining four women, not expecting her to be so resolute, were helpless and could only cremate her body and return to Emei Mountain to report.

However, her Nascent Soul flew Eastwards. In fact, she had not decided whether to reincarnate.

The humiliation had been too much to bear; she felt she could no longer face people and, in a moment of intensity, ended her own life.

Death, however, did not truly signify an end. Earlier, her only thought had been to quickly escape from Li Yingqiong and the others, never to see anyone again.

Once she truly had escaped from these people, she was unsure where to go.

To simply find a family for reincarnation? But without a protector, if she were confused by a yin barrier and lost her memory, being targeted by a Demon Path while in the womb would be disastrous.

Like even a strong person who gets sleepy, once asleep is highly vulnerable, she dreaded such a state of lack of control.

Moreover, after reincarnation, she'd be a lifetime behind her fellow disciples—if she could ever return to her sect, she'd still be the least accomplished...

If not choosing reincarnation, could she continue cultivating with her current Nascent Soul state? It wasn't impossible, but she had lost her Yuan Yin and no longer had a physical body, meaning she'd have to take the roundabout path from a Ghost Immortal to an Earth Immortal in the Immortal Path, spending at least sixty years to once again become an Earth Immortal and giving up on ever reaching Heavenly Immortal.

She was caught in a dilemma, indecisive, her Nascent Soul drifting swiftly through the sky, reaching the Kunlun Mountain Range in an instant.

In the vast Kunlun Mountains, with complex terrains and continuous peaks, where glaciers used to be, but since Deng Bagu had filled the Tarim Basin, they had melted, and even the mountain tops were overgrown with vegetation.

Speaking of a mountain peak, originally sealed by a stubborn glacier, it later revealed a bare rock face where, hidden within its cliff, lay a Grotto Heaven Immortal Mansion.

Though called an Immortal Mansion, it was actually a Demon Palace, an independently formed Grotto Heaven world of small scale but distinct space.

From the outside, the cliff looked like a rock face, but from inside, it appeared transparent.

A woman clad in green palace attire stood before the cliff, gazing outwards, when suddenly she saw a small figure speeding across the sky, recognizing it as a cultivator's Nascent Soul.

She was in the middle of a quarrel and, seeing the Nascent Soul, immediately cast magic, summoning a Treasure.

As Ling Yunfeng flew, an invisible Demon Net abruptly appeared ahead of her, enveloping her head-on and pulling her backward.

Now being just a Nascent Soul, she could technically still perform some Spells and Divine Skills, but the powerful invisible Demon Net specifically countered such spiritual entities. Caught in it, she had no way of retaliating, being carried helplessly into the cliff and thrown onto the ground.

Knowing she had fallen into the clutches of evil, she inwardly lamented. If she had known this would happen, she never would have killed herself...

Following Li Yingqiong back to Emei Mountain would have been much better. At worst, she would have faced embarrassment but could still have hoped for the Immortal Path. Now, falling into the hands of Evil Demons, she feared she would suffer the tortures of Soul Refinement, trapped in a state neither able to live nor to die.

She straightened herself within the Demon Net, looked up towards the other party, and was immediately shocked, "It's you!"

The Witch was equally astonished, "Ling Yunfeng!"
