Chapter 175: Surprise Attack on the Beixuan Sect

The Nanxuan Sect has an old monster at the Nascent Soul Stage; everyone in the Five Great Demon Mountains knows this. The reason the Five Great Demon Mountains failed when they joined forces to attack the Tianjiang Plain previously was largely due to Nanxuan Laozu.

Even though they knew this "Anti-Demon Allied Forces" was the work of Nanxuan Laozu, they had no way to deal with it. Even if the Five Great Demon Mountains were given several times the courage, they would still not dare to storm into the Nanxuan Sect.

"We must find a way to dampen the Nanxuan Sect's arrogance!"

Gui Xiao said grimly.

"We can't just go and wipe out the Nanxuan Sect!"

Fu Ling glanced sideways at Gui Xiao. She was also angry, but with Nanxuan Laozu guarding the Nanxuan Sect, even if the five of them joined forces, they were likely no match for him.

"If not the Nanxuan Sect, we can target other sects, for example, the Beixuan Sect!"

With a cold laugh, Gui Xiao's words drew everyone's gaze toward him.

"The Beixuan Sect is the closest to our Five Great Demon Mountains. If we just gather elite disciples and go over quietly to catch them off guard, I believe even if other sects go to rescue them, it will be too late. Besides, the Beixuan Sect is one of the Four Great Sects on the Tianjiang Plain, and there are no shortage of disciples within the sect; we might even be able to gather enough cultivators for the Demon Emperor to rebuild his physical body!"

"Fellow Daoist Gui Xiao, that is easier said than done! The Beixuan Sect has existed for thousands of years; how could it be destroyed so easily!"

Wang Ji pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"It is precisely because of that that the Beixuan Sect will let down its guard. Even if we lose some disciples, the results we gain will definitely outweigh the losses!"

After a moment, seeing that the two were still hesitating, Gui Xiao continued:

"Sitting here waiting for death is simply not a solution. We still don't know when we will be able to capture enough people! If Lord Demon Emperor gets furious..."

He did not finish his sentence, merely staring at Wang Ji and Fu Ling. After a while, Wang Ji finally made up his mind and said:

"I think this method is feasible! Either way is death, so we might as well give it a try! What does Fellow Daoist Fu Ling think?"

Seeing that Wang Ji had made a decision, Fu Ling had no choice but to nod slightly. After the three reached a consensus, they went to notify the Sect Leaders of the other two Demon Mountains respectively.

Three days later, a full thousand elite cultivators from the Five Great Demon Mountains, divided into several batches, approached the Beixuan Sect. The actions of the Demon Sect cultivators this time were very strange, and they did not attract the attention of the "Anti-Demon Allied Forces"!

That night, the Sect Master of the Beixuan Sect, Zhuo Zhiyan, was sitting in the main hall idly thinking about things when suddenly, bursts of shouting and killing sounds came from outside the Beixuan Sect.

She stood up at once, her expression becoming exceptionally ugly. Her body transformed into a streak of light as she rushed out of the main hall. When she arrived in mid-air, she saw that all around the Beixuan Sect, there was the radiance of various treasures; the sounds of screams and the clashing of Magic Treasures were almost continuous.

Opening her Divine Sense to scan the entire sect, Zhuo Zhiyan's face turned deathly pale. Waves of restless Spirit Power were coming from all around, and she could also sense thick Demonic Qi!

"Could it be that the Five Great Demon Mountains have joined forces to attack the Beixuan Sect?"

She muttered to herself, but very quickly, Zhuo Zhiyan dismissed this thought; she believed the Five Great Demon Mountains would not do such a thing! But just at this moment, a stream of light flew toward her, and she saw a young woman in purple robes stepping on a Flying Magic Tool, arriving in front of Zhuo Zhiyan in a panic.

This young woman was none other than Ding Fu!

"Sect Master! It's bad! The Five Great Demon Mountains have joined forces to attack our Beixuan Sect, and even the Sect Leaders of the Five Great Demon Mountains have come!"

Zhuo Zhiyan's head buzzed. What she feared most had come to pass; the thing she least wanted to believe had become reality! With the Five Great Demon Mountains joining forces to attack, such a massive momentum meant that even if the other sects came to rescue them, it would likely be too late!

"Haha! Sect Master Zhuo! It has been quite a few years since we last met, hasn't it!"

A black radiance broke through the obstruction of several Beixuan Sect disciples and flew rapidly to the front of Zhuo Zhiyan. The black escape light faded, and a man with a stout body appeared in mid-air.

"Wu Xu!"

Zhuo Zhiyan recognized this person in front of her at a glance; he was the Sect Leader of the Jinlan Demon Mountain!

"Sect Master Zhuo still recognizes me indeed!"

Wu Xu let out a cold laugh, the chubby flesh on his face trembling along with it.

"You fat pig! I am not finished with you today!"

Seeing that the surroundings were full of disciples from the Five Great Demon Mountains, Zhuo Zhiyan understood immediately that the Beixuan Sect was in grave danger, and its thousands of years of foundation were about to be destroyed in her hands. A surge of anger rose in her heart, and killing intent flared in her phoenix eyes!

As she spoke, Zhuo Zhiyan opened her mouth and spat out a small golden lamp. When the small lamp first emerged, it was only an inch in size, but as it grew in the wind, it became a full foot long.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp!"

When Wu Xu, the Sect Leader of the Jinlan Demon Mountain, saw this lamp, he immediately stopped smiling. His figure retreated rapidly by several feet, his eyes full of horror. He saw that the "Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp" looked like it was carved from jade; golden light flowed within the semi-transparent lamp body, and a green bead the size of a bean floated at the wick.

"Hurry and notify the other three sects! Tell them to come to our rescue immediately! Leave this place to me for now!"

While releasing the "Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp", Zhuo Zhiyan said to Ding Fu beside her.

"Yes!"

Facing a confrontation between two Golden Core experts, the young woman in purple did not dare to intervene. These two were not like Tie Lin in the Trial Ground, so Ding Fu moved her body and disappeared into the distance.

With her Golden Core Late Stage strength, Zhuo Zhiyan was confident she could hold off Wu Xu, but if the Sect Leaders of the other four Demon Mountains also came, she could not guarantee it.

She pointed a jade finger at the wick of the "Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp", and with a 'whoosh', a green flame two fingers high ignited inside the precious lamp.

"Gui Xiao, hurry up and get over here! Do you want me to deal with this late-stage fellow all by myself?"

Wu Xu could no longer care about his status at this moment and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Fellow Daoist Wu! Do not panic, Gui is here!"

Before the person arrived, his voice came first. Following the voice, a black rainbow slashed and killed two Beixuan Sect cultivators, then appeared beside Wu Xu. The escape light faded to reveal Gui Xiao's figure.

As soon as Zhuo Zhiyan saw another master of a Demon Mountain arrive, her beautiful face lost its color. Although she was at the Golden Core Late Stage, she still found it difficult to deal with two demon heads at the same time. After all, those who could become Sect Leaders of the Demon Mountains all had some powerful Magic Treasures under their command! They could not be compared to ordinary Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators.

"Fairy Zhuo! Be sensible and surrender!"

Gui Xiao glanced at the "Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp" in front of Zhuo Zhiyan, his eyes showing disdain.

"If you have the ability, come and take this Sect Master's life yourself!"

Sensing with her Divine Sense that the Beixuan Sect disciples were being slaughtered by numerous profound Demon Sect cultivators, she, as the Sect Master, felt a surge of anger rise instantly. She blew at the wick of the "Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp" with her cherry-like mouth, and suddenly, a sheet of green flames erupted from within the wick, sweeping toward Wu Xu and Gui Xiao in an overwhelming manner!

Seeing the green flames rushing over like a tidal wave, Wu Xu's figure surged violently toward the high sky, while Gui Xiao did not move a single bit. With a flick of his robe sleeve, a mass of black energy rolled out, forming a black energy wall a zhang high in front of him.

After a muffled 'boom', the green flames slammed into the black energy wall and immediately dispersed it. Seeing this, Gui Xiao's expression changed drastically. He had originally wanted to test the power of these green flames, never expecting that the barrier he had transformed from his True Demonic Qi would be crushed in a single blow.

He immediately retreated rapidly, not daring to take the flames emitted by the "Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp" head-on!

"Where are you going!"

Zhuo Zhiyan rolled her phoenix eyes, and the killing intent at the corners of her eyes burst forth. Seeing that her first strike had succeeded, how could she let go of such a great opportunity? She pointed at the green flames in the void, and the flames condensed in mid-air, chasing after Gui Xiao like a surging sea wave.

At the same time, Wu Xu, who was flying toward the high sky, saw this scene, and a ferocious smile appeared on his chubby face. A black light flashed on his chest, and a black War Drum flew out from his body!

As the small drum rotated, it became a zhang in size. With a 'pfft', a mouthful of essence blood was sprayed directly onto the War Drum, and immediately, the drum's black energy surged greatly as it smashed down toward Zhuo Zhiyan from above.

Just as she was focused on controlling the flames emitted by the "Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp" to pursue Gui Xiao, she suddenly felt a malicious wind from above her head. When Zhuo Zhiyan looked up, she saw a War Drum a zhang in size, wrapped in layers of Demonic Qi, smashing down toward her.

Gritting her teeth, Zhuo Zhiyan pointed her hands in a series of incantations, sinking them into the Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp before her; instantly, a cyan pillar of fire a zhang thick shot out from within the lamp.

With a deafening "Boom—", the cyan pillar of flame struck the War Drum, sending it flying far away, though thanks to that strike, Gui Xiao also managed to escape to safety.

"Tsk tsk! This woman is truly formidable!"

Wu Xu beckoned with his Divine Sense, drawing the knocked-away War Drum back to him, then clicked his tongue at Gui Xiao and smiled with malicious intent!

Gui Xiao merely let out a cold snort, opened his mouth to spit out a small bronze handbell, and grabbed it in his hand. With a gentle shake, a pleasant ringing sound emerged.

The moment Zhuo Zhiyan heard the ringing, her expression changed; at first, the sound seemed unremarkable, but as time passed, the ringing in her ears did not fade, but instead grew louder and louder, until finally, she could hear nothing but the ringing in her entire ears!

"Not good!"

She thought to herself, and Zhuo Zhiyan understood at once that the seemingly plain and ordinary ringing actually had the effect of disrupting the five senses; she immediately retreated, gathered her Divine Sense at her ears, and only then did she dispel the ringing sound.

Just as she hesitated for a brief moment, Wu Xu made his move, swinging his fist, which was half a foot large, and struck the surface of the War Drum!

With a loud "Dong" sound, the War Drum unleashed several streaks of black light, which swept toward Zhuo Zhiyan like countless black meteors.

Having just dispelled the ringing in her ears, she saw the several streaks of black light attacking, so she blew once more at the wick of the Seven Treasures Glazed Lamp; with that breath, a vast ocean of cyan flames erupted, and with a few swirls, it enveloped all the streaks of black light within it.
