If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 86 First Test of the Divine Finger, Xu Lian Demon Lord

The outer gate of the city.

The city wall was filled with outer disciples, including Ye Lan and Zhen Qin. They frowned and looked into the distance. Not only them, but all the disciples looked in the same direction, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The vast snow covered the earth and mountains, the wind howled, and the outlines of the mountains could be vaguely seen amidst the swirling snow.

cuckoo-

The mysterious bird calls rang out again, like ghosts and spirits approaching from the underworld, making the disciples on the city wall pound their hearts like war drums.

Gradually, shadows appeared in the other half of the white world, moving all the disciples.

"What...what is that?" Zhen Qin asked in a trembling voice, her voice very low, as if she were asking herself.

Ye Lan's eyes widened as well. She considered herself to be quite knowledgeable, but she was still shocked by what she saw.

The enormous shadow, like a black ocean, was approaching, boundless and stretching to the ends of heaven and earth, while the mysterious bird calls grew louder and louder.

Anyone would be afraid of such a huge shadow, as if an abyss were approaching.

An immense pressure emanated from within the city, startling the disciples who all turned to look. They saw dozens of flying swords soaring into the air, swirling with golden spiritual energy. With a boom, the dozens of flying swords shot out simultaneously, their golden spiritual energy converging together, resembling a giant golden phoenix soaring over the city wall.

This golden phoenix has a wingspan of hundreds of feet and an imposing presence, but it appears small in comparison to the terrifying shadow that flies towards the horizon.

The golden phoenix tore through the snow along its path, crashing irresistibly into the terrifying shadow. Immediately afterward, golden light burst forth, and a howling wind, mixed with snow, forced the outer disciples on the city wall to raise their arms to shield themselves.

"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor, what are you waiting for?"

A chilling voice rang out, drowning out all the noise in the world.

On the Terrace of Patching the Sky.

The Yellow Spring Demon Emperor slowly stood up. In the distance, the fifth-level Void Transcending Realm cultivator opposite him also stood up, and their eyes met.

"I never imagined that you were the legendary Yellow Springs Demon Emperor. You've been hiding it for a long time."

The elder of the Tai Xuan Sect said coldly, raising his right hand and revealing a jade ruler in his hand.

Several more Tai Xuan Sect cultivators stood up, all exuding an aura far exceeding that of the Nascent Soul Realm, causing the other cultivators on the platform to rise and retreat.

The Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother was also retreating, appearing no different from an ordinary cultivator.

"hehe."

The Yellow Spring Demon Emperor let out a chilling laugh. His calm face quickly twisted, and waves of demonic energy surged from his robes, spreading in all directions.

Rumbling--

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and rolling thunderclouds surged in from all directions, squeezing out the flying snow and forming a vast white mist, as if two heavens had appeared, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

The Yellow Spring Demon Emperor looked up with a mocking expression. He suddenly squatted down and slammed his palm on the ground. In an instant, the vast demonic energy covering the Heaven-Mending Platform surged violently, and one evil spirit after another crawled out from the demonic mist, letting out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The great battle between good and evil has begun!

……

In Xuangu.

Gu An was leading his disciples to inspect the medicinal herbs when a fierce wind arose, causing the snow on the mountain to slide down continuously, and a distant roar continued.

Yang Ni stood next to Gu An, not shoveling snow, but staring at the sky with her brows furrowed.

Wu Xin sidled up to Gu An, saying nervously, "Senior brother, that commotion was a bit loud!"

Gu An was also cursing inwardly. Didn't Jiang Qiong say that it wouldn't affect this outer city?
Why does he feel like the demonic path invaded from this side?

"Don't worry, the Tai Xuan Sect won't be easily breached," Gu An reassured him.

He sensed a very strong demonic aura emanating from the outer city gates, but he didn't know where that aura came from.

Wu Xin was filled with worry, but his hands did not stop moving; this was the result of Gu An's many years of teaching.

Thunderclouds gradually covered the sky, causing the snowfall to weaken, which was a good thing for Xuan Valley.

After the snow in each park was cleared, Gu An asked Wu Xin to gather all the disciples together, while he and Yang Ni stood at a distance.

"Can the Tai Xuan Sect really withstand this?"

"What was that sound? It was terrifying!"

"I wonder what the situation is like in the outer city now. Luckily we are in Medicine Valley."

"It's hard to say. There might be demonic cultivators targeting us later."

"Shut up, you jinx!"

The disciples were tense and fearful, unable to calm themselves down. The overwhelming pressure of the great cultivator's battle, the demonic energy, the devilish might, and other factors stimulated their senses in ways they had never experienced before.

Gu An glanced at the disciples a hundred feet away, then looked at Yang Ni beside him and asked in a telepathic voice, "With your strength, how strong of an enemy do you think you can deal with?"

"As long as they're not Nascent Soul cultivators, kill as many as they come." Yang Ni's answer was domineering, but Gu An couldn't be happy.

Because a Nascent Soul cultivator is bound to appear.

At this moment, a figure flew in from afar at great speed and quickly fell into the valley. It was none other than Li Ya.

"Senior Brother Li!" Wu Xin exclaimed in surprise. Li Ya was an inner disciple, a genuine Core Formation Realm expert. How could Wu Xin not be excited by his arrival?

As for Yang Ni, in Wu Xin's eyes, she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, definitely not as good as Li Ya.

Ignoring Wu Xin, Li Ya strode up to Gu An. His gaze swept over Yang Ni, his brows furrowing slightly. He then looked at Gu An and said urgently, "Junior Brother Gu, let's retreat! It's too dangerous here. All the outer and inner sect cities are currently engaged in fierce battles. There are spies within the Tai Xuan Sect who have used teleportation arrays to bring the enemy in!"

Huh?
Li Ya doesn't know Yang Ni?
Gu An said with a solemn expression, "No, I can't abandon Medicine Valley. Besides, even if we wanted to escape, where could we go?"

To be honest, Li Ya's arrival now both touched and gave him a headache. Gu An wasn't really worried about the demonic invasion; he just felt uncomfortable with people around, making it difficult to intervene.

"Want to hide? That's easy! We definitely can't stay in Medicine Valley!" Li Ya said in a deep voice.

Gu An shook his head and said, "If you want to hide, then hide. Senior Brother Li, you don't need to come to save me at all. I can't abandon my disciples!"

Xuan Gu has more than twenty miscellaneous disciples, which are not suitable for relocation together, but he can use this as an excuse.

Just as Li Ya was about to speak, Yang Ni suddenly said, "Someone's coming!"

Li Ya subconsciously looked up, and Gu An looked up as well.

A massive vortex formed from rolling thunderclouds in the sky, and a figure plummeted from within it, its target being Xuan Gu.

The figure fell like a meteor from outer space, landing on the mountaintop on the north side, stirring up a cloud of snow and mist.

"Wuxin, you've really made me search high and low! I never expected you to be hiding here. I knew you didn't have the courage to go to the Tai Xuan Sect as a spy!"

A disdainful sneer echoed through Xuan Valley, startling everyone into looking at Wu Xin.

The disciples around Wuxin were in an uproar and retreated in disarray.

Wu Xin looked at the person on the mountaintop with a grim expression, his eyes filled with hatred.

The person on the mountaintop wore a black robe with blood-stained patterns, had disheveled hair, and handsome features, but his eyes and brows were filled with a murderous aura. His smile was even more ferocious. He looked down at Wuxin as if he were looking at a reptile.

[White Centipede (Nascent Soul Realm Level 1): 203/790/980]

Gu An looked at the results of the lifespan probe without any panic.

He dared to let the other party into the valley because he realized that the other party's cultivation level posed no threat. He was just testing the waters one more time as a precaution.

Li Ya frowned, looking at Wu Xin from afar, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

Wu Xin seemed to know how powerful the white centipede was. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll go back with you, just don't hurt anyone else!"

"That won't do. My orders are to kill everyone in the Tai Xuan Sect, including the insignificant menial disciples!"

Bai Wu licked his lips and sneered, "Besides, who said they would take you back? Today, you will die here with them, and I will take your head back with me."

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly rang out, startling Bai Wu so much that his pupils dilated. He glanced over instinctively and saw a woman in green appear out of thin air beside him, drawing her sword and slashing at him.

It was Yang Ni!

He jumped away immediately, but was still slashed on the arm, and blood splattered everywhere.

Yang Ni continued her attack, and the two engaged in battle on the mountaintop. Sword energy surged everywhere, and demonic energy dispersed like mist. The two quickly flew into the sky to fight.

Li Ya couldn't help but look at Gu An and ask, "Who is that person?"

"Your mother's younger sister is named Yang Ni. Don't you know her?" Gu An replied in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Ya looked astonished and murmured, "How could it be her..."

Gu An looked at his expression and was secretly puzzled.

What do you mean?
Do they not get along?
Gu An didn't ask any questions, but said, "I'll go check the woods; there are many medicinal herbs planted there."

After saying that, he ran into the mountains and forests.

Li Ya wanted to call out to him, but Yang Ni's battle held his attention.

"Damn it!"

Li Ya cursed under his breath, then leaped up to support Yang Ni.

In fact, even without him making a move, Yang Ni was already overwhelming Bai Wu. In less than ten breaths, Bai Wu was covered in blood. Even though he used his magic with wide and sweeping movements, Yang Ni's agility was too superb, and he could always easily dodge.

Seeing Bai Wu in such a sorry state, Wu Xin's eyes widened. He never expected Yang Ni to be so powerful.

Where did you find such a powerful cultivator, Senior Brother?
the other side.

Gu An arrived at the edge of the woods, his back to Xuan Gu, and looked at the distant mountains.

He raised his right hand, pressed his thumb against his middle finger, and began to look into the distance.

He sensed the aura of a Void Transcending Realm expert hundreds of miles away, not knowing why he was lingering there, but it certainly wasn't anything good.

They were too close to his medicine valley; they had to be killed!

It's a good time to try out the Spirit Gathering Divine Finger technique taught by Master Tian.

He has already mastered the Spirit Gathering Divine Finger. Even if he is not proficient, killing a demonic cultivator in the Transcendent Realm should not be difficult for him!
He compressed his spiritual energy in front of his middle finger, not gathering the surrounding spiritual energy, for fear of disturbing Yang Ni and the others.

Hundreds of miles away.

On the flat land nestled among the mountains, a group of demonic cultivators gathered and were setting up an array platform.

A demonic cultivator with an imposing presence stood to the side, watching quietly.

His name was Xu Lian, one of the demon lords of the Tianjue Sect. His cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm. He was playing with a ball of white flame in his right hand, his face indifferent.

A disciple of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect approached and said softly, "Master, the formation will be completed in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn at most."

Xu Lian, the Demon Lord, said indifferently, "Form the array immediately and prepare..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he instinctively turned his head to look.
