Junior sister took first place again

After Immortal Master Mengze finished speaking, the three Immortal Masters nodded slightly. Immortal Master Yunhua then headed towards the east of the northern border, while Immortal Master Shuyin stayed where he was, chanting hand gestures to cast healing spells for the cultivators and demons in the entire abyss.

Immortal Master Jiyun bowed slightly, clasped his hands together, and performed a standard bow to Immortal Master Mengze like flowing water.

His movements are elegant and steady, like a standing pine tree, dignified and solemn, showing the demeanor of a great leader.

Afterwards, Immortal Master Jiyun looked calm and spoke in a gentle yet clear voice, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Master. I and all the other Immortal Masters are doing well."

This greeting sounded neither overly affectionate nor indifferent. It was simply a polite greeting that maintained the delicate balance between the two.

Everyone present knew that although Immortal Master Mengze was indeed Immortal Master Jiyun's uncle in terms of seniority, Immortal Master Jiyun had already become the leader of the Xuanling Sect and his status and position were extremely respected.

With his current strength and power, it would be inappropriate for him to follow the etiquette of a younger generation paying respects to an elder to Immortal Master Mengze.

However, Immortal Master Mengze did not continue to pester the man at this time. After all, at their level, even if they gained the upper hand in words, it would not help the situation at all.

"That's good."

Immortal Master Mengze smiled and replied. Without waiting for him to move, Immortal Master Nanming said, "Thanks to Immortal Master Mengze's sword, we were able to prevent a greater disaster. Now that we have all the men, please take back the artifact. We will immediately begin resealing the abyss."

Immortal Master Mengze refused without even thinking. He activated the Qianyuan Divine Sword because he wanted to be the greatest contributor to this unprecedented battle, so how could he take it back now?

However, although Nanming Immortal Venerable's words were polite, they were actually a notice. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiyun Immortal Venerable began to use hand gestures to recall the artifact.

He is the leader of Xuanling Sect, and he does not need anyone's consent to take back the artifact.

"Wait a minute——"

A hint of anger flashed across the face of Immortal Master Mengze, and he stretched out his hand to stop it, but at this moment an accident happened. The hundred-foot-long sword shrank into a three-foot-long green blade in an instant, and then fell deeper into the abyss. Ripples seemed to appear in the air, and the artifact disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Immortal Master Jiyun and Immortal Master Nanming breathed a sigh of relief, then transformed into two streams of light and landed on both ends of the seal, repairing the abyss seal together.

Only Immortal Master Mengze glanced down coldly, his tone sinking slightly, "The world's number one sword immortal, his reputation is well-deserved."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, sword in hand, heading towards the area where the barrier was most damaged.

In the small world of the abyss, the battle between the inner demon and the Immortal Master Qinglian is in full swing.

The two figures intertwined in the sky, and the sword energy and demonic energy collided with each other, making a deafening roar.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the sky. A red light streaked across the sky, falling like a meteor. It was the sect's sacred weapon—the Qianyuan Divine Sword.

Seeing this, the inner demon instantly retreated a distance. Her eyes fell on the Qianyuan Divine Sword, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile.

When the inner demon saw the sect's sacred weapon appearing beside the Immortal Master Qinglian, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including fear and a hint of gloating.

"Not bad, Qinglian, you've summoned the divine weapon." The inner demon's voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm, "But, do you really dare to use it?"

The Immortal Qinglian frowned slightly, his eyes moving back and forth between the divine sword and the inner demon.

Nanming Immortal Venerable once said that although the power of the artifact is great, once it is used, it will change the flow of time and accelerate the awakening of the inner demon.

At this moment, he must act with caution.

"Inner Demon, you don't need to bother testing me anymore."

Immortal Qinglian's voice was calm and firm. "Why I dare not use it. There is no need to elaborate on the current state of the outside world. If you sleep now, the Immortal Sect will have some quiet time to prepare."

As he spoke, the tip of the sword slowly aimed at the inner demon's vital point, and the flames surrounding the sword became more and more dazzling, as if it could fly over at any time.

The Inner Demon's smile faltered slightly, and then he said calmly, "You're afraid that the power of the artifact will bring about a greater disaster, and that I'll leave the Sun Palace prematurely. That's why you've been trying to tangle with me here."

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the Qianyuan Sword. "Otherwise, why didn't you summon the artifact in the first place? Why don't you guess who rashly summoned the Qianyuan Sword?"

Immortal Qinglian said calmly, "As you said, Immortal Mengze has awakened. If I don't get out quickly, I'm afraid the sect will be plagued by all kinds of open and covert struggles."

Having said that, he raised his hand to grasp the hilt of his sword, and looked at his inner demon with a sharp gaze: "So, compared to the crisis we will face in the future, it is more important to deal with you in front of us."

The inner demon clenched the sword in his hand fiercely and threatened fiercely: "It seems that you don't care about Jiang Yao's life at all!?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the corners of Qinglian Immortal Venerable's mouth curled up slightly, "You are also afraid that he will come out now, aren't you?"

He looked at the inner demon and said firmly.

The inner demon's pupils shrank, and he instantly raised his hand to strike, frowning and saying, "Nonsense."

The Immortal Azure Lotus raised his sword and easily blocked the attack. He then looked at the Inner Demon and continued in a calm, declarative tone, "Your true form is within the Sun Palace. I suspect that once it breaks free, your divine consciousness will have fulfilled its mission and will merge with it."

Although I don’t know why the power of the artifact has such a great impact on the Sun Palace, it is obvious that this influence has no effect on the inner demon in front of me.

The inner demon had threatened the Immortal Qinglian several times, but each time he succeeded, it was only because he had Ning Jiasheng or the lives of tens of thousands of living beings as bargaining chips.

At this moment, he actually threatened the life of Wushuang Immortal Venerable, which was obviously a statement made in a desperate situation.

Immortal Qinglian would not be threatened by her words, otherwise he would be underestimating the ability and vision of Immortal Wushuang.

Ever since the Qianyuan Divine Sword was activated, Qinglian Immortal Venerable had sensed that the Inner Demon wasn't very happy. Especially after the other Immortal Venerables left, Qinglian Immortal Venerable felt that the Inner Demon was even faintly relieved.

So even though he knew that his nephew and Nanming Immortal Venerable and others would take back the artifact, Qinglian Immortal Venerable still summoned the Qianyuan Divine Sword first.

The purpose is to verify my own guess.

If, as Immortal Nanming said, the divine weapon in the immortal sect cannot be used, then when summoning the Qianyuan Divine Sword, the inner demon should have continued to attack, forcing himself to use the divine weapon.

But she backed away without hesitation and started talking nonsense.

In this way, the Immortal Qinglian finally found a weakness of the inner demon.

The inner demon's face turned ashen in an instant, and her eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness.

Immortal Qinglian's words made her completely lose her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, "Qinglian, you are indeed the most annoying enemy."

"Now, you will pay the price for what you said today."

As she finished speaking, the dark land expanded inch by inch. The inner demon's figure loomed in the demonic energy, like a ghost in the darkness. Her eyes flashed with a crazy and cold light, and the black and white sword in her hand exuded a strange aura.

The black sword light is as deep as the night, and the white sword light is as cold as frost. The two are intertwined together, as if containing endless destructive power.

The battle broke out in silence.

The evil energy surged towards the Immortal Qinglian like a tide, trying to trap him.

The Immortal Qinglian moved, and his natal sword turned into a blue dragon of light, instantly cutting through the demonic energy and heading straight for the inner demon.

Wherever the sword light passed, the evil spirit dissipated, like darkness dispelled by the sun.

The Green Lotus Immortal Venerable's natal sword carries brilliant spiritual power, and each sword contains endless power, as if to completely defeat the inner demon.

The inner demon reacted surprisingly quickly. Her body instantly turned into a black shadow and dodged the attack of the Immortal Qinglian.

She swung her black and white sword instantly, and the black and white sword beams flew like dragons, instantly piercing into the chest of the Immortal Qinglian.

The light of her sword was as deep as the night, carrying endless dark power, as if it wanted to completely devour the body of the Immortal Master Qinglian.

The Immortal Qinglian's eyes were as cold as ice. He swung his sword half a circle, which turned into a blue light curtain to block the attack of the inner demon.

The moment the swords collided, the sky and the earth seemed to be torn apart, making a deafening roar.

There was a crazy and cold light flashing in the eyes of the inner demon. He spun in the air and changed his moves again. He continued to swing the black and white sword. The black and white sword beams flew like dragons and instantly pierced the right shoulder of the Qinglian Immortal.

The light of her sword was as deep as the night, carrying endless dark power, as if it wanted to completely devour the body of the Immortal Master Qinglian.

The Immortal Qinglian's figure was as fast as lightning, and he instantly appeared on the left side of the inner demon, and his long sword instantly stabbed into the left shoulder of the inner demon.

However, the inner demon is not easy to deal with.

Her body swayed slightly in the air, and she instantly retreated backward. She swung the black and white sword again, and the two sword beams, like twin dragons emerging from the sea, instantly intertwined, forming a strange two-colored sword energy that flew straight towards the sword beam of the Azure Lotus Immortal.

The two collided in mid-air. In an instant, sword energy overflowed and light shone everywhere. The sky and earth seemed to be torn apart, and demonic energy and spiritual power intertwined, forming a chaotic battlefield.

The sword energy of the Immortal Qinglian was as agile as a swimming dragon, carrying boundless spiritual power, and constantly tearing apart the demonic defense of the inner demon like a storm.

The inner demon's black and white sword beams were like two dragons emerging from the sea. The black sword beam devoured spiritual power like a glutton, while the white sword beam froze everything like ten-thousand-year-old ice.

The two cooperated with each other to form a series of strange magic arrays, trying to trap the Immortal Qinglian.

The eyes of the Immortal Qinglian were as cold as ice, and he kept swinging his natal sword. The sword energy fell like rain, and each sword carried endless murderous intent.

The rich demonic energy surged like a tide, and the black and white sword beams followed like shadows, constantly attacking the Immortal Master Qinglian.

Her demonic energy contained endless dark power, and every blow carried a breath of destruction, trying to completely devour the Immortal Qinglian.

The battle became more and more intense, and after tens of thousands of moves, the outcome was still unclear.

The figure of the inner demon gradually solidified in the demonic energy. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

She suddenly stepped back several feet, and the sword in her hand flew out to block the Immortal Master Qinglian. Then she raised her hands, and a ball of dense dark energy condensed between her palms, spinning like a whirlpool, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

Her voice was low and cold, as if it came from the depths of the underworld: "Qinglian, today I will let you see my true power!"

As she finished her words, the dark energy instantly exploded and transformed into countless black chains, which quickly wrapped around the Immortal Qinglian like living things.

The surface of these chains is wrapped with strange magic patterns, emitting a cold and evil aura, as if it can devour all life.

When the Immortal Qinglian saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that the inner demon was not trying to kill him, but was trying to trap him.

He swung the sword in his hand, and the sword light was as dazzling as the sun, instantly slashing at the black chains.

However, these chains seemed to have self-awareness, easily dodging the attacks of the Immortal Green Lotus and continuing to wrap around his body.

The Immortal Qinglian's figure flashed and instantly turned into a blue light, avoiding the restraint of the chains.

But the inner demon's attack was obviously carefully planned. The black chains were like a huge spider web. No matter how the Immortal Qinglian dodged, there would always be a few chains that could catch up with him.

At this moment, the inner demon sneered again, and suddenly clasped his hands together. The black chains tightened instantly, as if to completely trap the Immortal Qinglian.

The body of Qinglian Immortal Venerable was entangled by chains, and his movements were greatly restricted, but he did not panic. Instead, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He whispered an ancient spell, and the natal sword in his hand instantly burst out with brilliant light. Mysterious runes appeared on the sword, as if resonating with the spiritual power between heaven and earth.

The Immortal Qinglian shouted loudly, and all the spiritual power in his body burst out instantly. The long sword turned into a huge blue beam of light, instantly breaking through the shackles of the black chains.

However, the inner demon's attack was not over. She swung the black and white sword again, and the two sword beams instantly intertwined, forming a huge black and white sword energy, like a huge tornado, instantly sweeping towards the Qinglian Immortal Venerable.

This sword energy contained endless destructive power, as if it could tear apart everything that stood in its way.

The Immortal Qinglian's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the sword energy. He swung the long sword in his hand again, and the sword light fell like rain, trying to resist this powerful sword energy.

However, this move of the inner demon was obviously carefully prepared. The power of the black and white sword energy was extremely strong. Although the sword light of the Green Lotus Immortal was also extremely sharp, at this moment, it seemed a little powerless.

The moment the sword energy collided, the sky and the earth seemed to be torn apart, making a deafening roar.

The body of Qinglian Immortal Venerable was knocked back several steps by the powerful impact, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not stop. Instead, his eyes became more determined. He swung the sword in his hand again, and the sword light flew like a dragon, instantly stabbing towards the inner demon.

However, just as the sword light was about to touch the inner demon, the inner demon's figure suddenly became blurred, and a strange black mist surged around her body, as if completely enveloping her body.

The sword light of the Immortal Qinglian pierced into the fog, but it was like piercing into the void, unable to cause any substantial damage to the inner demon.

The inner demon's mouth curled up into a sneer, and her voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm: "Qinglian, do you think you can defeat me with these means?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the inner demon suddenly clasped his hands together, and a ball of even more dense dark energy condensed between his palms. This ball of energy seemed to have gathered the dark power of the entire abyss, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

There was a crazy and cold light flashing in the eyes of the inner demon. She slowly raised her hands, held the ball of dark energy high up, and then smashed it towards the Immortal Qinglian.
