After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

"Evil heretics dare to lay their hands on the sacred remains? They're utterly absurd!"

A hoarse and aged voice came from the entire sky above the hermit's land, echoing in the ears of the group from the Six Desires Demon Sect. Each of them felt a burning sensation as if they were being scorched by raging fire.

In the sight of the Six Desires Demon Sect experts, the sect leader of the Six Desires Demon Sect, who was trapped by fire patterns, had his limbs and body wrapped in blazing fire lines that connected to the fire patterns in the void.

Its skin emitted a chilling red glow, like burning charcoal, as if it would be burned to ashes at any moment.

"You call us heretics and evil forces, but what are you yourselves?"

The sect leader of the Six Desires Demon Sect, holding the stone book, stood still, his expression not showing much emotion. Instead, he looked up at the sky with a mocking smile on his lips.

At the same time, the stone book in the hands of the Six Desires Demon Sect Master flipped rapidly, then quickly stopped on the phantom of one of the pages.

He glanced down at the Six Desires Heavenly Book in his hand, and in the next instant, a dazzling light of desire burst forth from his eyes. When he looked up again, his gaze pierced directly through the fire-patterned cage that had imprisoned him above.

A gasp of surprise came from the figures above. Then, they all froze, and their normally normal eyes suddenly turned a furious crimson.

The fire-patterned cage constructed from the void also showed signs of collapse. Even more bizarrely, a dense aura of evil energy was flowing from the bodies of those figures, and their faces gradually became painful and ferocious.

"not good!"

A hoarse, aged voice rang out, and an invisible force suddenly dragged the dozen or so figures backward at high speed, disappearing into the blood mist of the mountains behind them in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the fire-patterned cage that had been imprisoning the Six Desires Demon Sect Master above collapsed completely, and the burning power that seemed to want to burn him to ashes also dissipated.

"Your Qilin Holy Sect has only managed to survive until now by suppressing the demonic power within you, but what you don't expect is that my sect is your nemesis."

The sect leader of the Six Desires Demon Sect spoke with a mocking expression, the light of desire in his eyes suddenly intensifying, illuminating the entire blood-red mist that shrouded the mountains and forests ahead.

"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you making a move?"

At this moment, the voice of the Six Desires Demon Sect Master rang out again, reaching the ears of all the demonic experts within the sect.

Upon hearing this, everyone, including the four elders, immediately reacted and simultaneously activated the Six Desires Scripture Technique, unleashing bursts of demonic light that fell into the blood-red mist before them.

The Six Desires Demonic Sect cultivates its own demonic heart, controlling people's seven emotions and six desires. Those tainted by the demonic light of desire will have their most primal lust ignited, unable to control themselves, until they are completely ensnared, and their lives are at the mercy of the one who performs the work.

The members of the Qilin Holy Sect seem to possess demonic power, which had previously been suppressed by special techniques and their own will. Now, driven by the demonic light of the Six Desires Demon Sect, they have released their desires, causing their will to collapse. Naturally, they can no longer suppress the demonic power within their bodies.

Suddenly, the demonic aura within the blood mist surged, accompanied by painful roars.

All the experts of the Six Desires Demon Sect could sense that the figures in the blood mist were becoming chaotic, and the threat of the force that originally wanted to prevent them from entering the hidden world was gradually dissipating.

"Sect Master, what exactly is going on with this Qilin Holy Sect? Why is their demonic aura even stronger than that of our Demonic Sect?"

The Second Elder of the Six Desires Demon Sect frowned as he looked at the Sect Master, voicing his doubts. The other three elders also looked at the Sect Master, clearly sharing the same confusion.

The current situation of the Qilin Holy Sect is clearly very different from the legends. You must know that the Fire Qilin is a divine beast, and the legacy it left behind could not possibly have anything to do with so-called evil forces.

This suggests that there might be a serious problem with this secluded place, which is suspected to be the site of the Qilin Holy Sect.

Facing the Second Elder's question and the gazes of the other three elders, the Six Desires Demon Sect Master stared into the depths of the blood mist, narrowed his eyes, and said:

"You have no doubt that this place is the location of the Qilin Holy Sect."

"As for the demonic power on these people from the Qilin Holy Sect... it's not that they're practicing any demonic techniques."

At this point, the Sect Master of the Six Desires Demonic Sect glanced back at the four sect elders, then looked down at the Six Desires Heavenly Book in his hand and slowly said:
"The demonic power within them actually all originates from the sacred remains of the divine beast, the Fire Qilin. The Qilin Holy Cult is nothing more than people corrupted by the sacred remains."

Upon hearing this, the four elders of the Six Desires Demon Sect were all stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances, their eyes revealing even deeper confusion.

"Forgive our ignorance, but please enlighten us, Sect Master. The Fire Qilin is a divine beast of heaven and earth, so how has it now become a demonic creature?"

At this moment, the Grand Elder bowed to the Sect Master of the Six Desires Demon Sect and spoke.

Clearly, the words of the Six Desires Demon Sect Master had overturned everyone's previous understanding, and were simply too unbelievable.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Six Desires Demon Sect glanced at the Grand Elder out of the corner of his eye and said:
"It's alright to tell you, the divine beast Fire Qilin is naturally not some evil creature. The root of all this should be attributed to the Tianqi Emperor a thousand years ago."

As he spoke, the sect leader of the Six Desires Demon Sect did not hide anything and roughly explained the hidden story.

When the Tianqi Emperor ruled the world, he collected the remains of divine beasts and ferocious beasts in pursuit of immortality, and the remains of the Fire Qilin divine beast naturally fell into his hands.

However, no one knows what Emperor Tianqi did with the remains of these mythical beasts and ferocious creatures. After Emperor Tianqi passed away, the remains of those mythical beasts and ferocious creatures were scattered all over the world again.

After the Qilin Holy Sect reclaimed the Fire Qilin's remains, they discovered that the sacred remains they had guarded for generations had turned into the bones of a demon. As a result, the Qilin Holy Sect, which was guarding the sacred remains, was also corrupted by the remains and has been barely surviving for thousands of years.

Upon hearing the explanation from the sect leader of the Six Desires Demon Sect, the four elders of the sect all had their expressions change. Although the other party's explanation about the Qilin Sacred Remains was astonishing, it was indeed plausible.

However, the Six Desires Demon Sect had not previously discovered such a secret. It should be noted that the Six Desires Demon Sect had only recently discovered the location of this place, which was suspected to be the hidden place of the Qilin Holy Sect. Naturally, they would not have had time to investigate such a secret involving the millennium-old Tianqi Emperor and the Qilin Holy Remains.

How did the leader of the Six Desires Demon Sect know about these circumstances?

Thinking of this, the four elders of the Six Desires Demon Sect exchanged glances, but their expressions remained unchanged. Two of the elders pondered for a moment, then volunteered to the sect leader of the Six Desires Demon Sect:

"As the sect leader said, since the people of the Qilin Holy Sect have been tainted by demonic power and are now driven by desires, they are naturally too busy to take care of themselves, so they will not pose any obstacle to us."

"Next, perhaps I should take charge and retrieve the Qilin Sacred Remains for the Sect Master." (End of Chapter)
