The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

In a corner of the high platform, Xu Wan, dressed in a white Taoist robe and holding a long sword, danced with a graceful figure and performed a dazzling sword dance.

Her figure was light and graceful, and the tip of her sword drew graceful arcs in the air, as if she was talking to the heaven and earth, presenting a visual feast for the monks below the stage.

At this moment, the melodious sound of the piano and the crisp sound of the flute intertwined together, adding a bit of charm to this sword dance.

In the center of the platform, Yun Che, Chen Xuan, Jun Yan, and Jiu Yang sat on the thrones with focused expressions.

Shuang Yue stood beside Yun Che, her eyes shifting between Xu Wan and Yun Che, filled with complex emotions.

Yun Che gently picked up the teacup on the table and blew on it, causing ripples to form on the tea in the cup.

He swirled the teacup and took a sip, his movements extremely graceful.

Chen Xuan held his long beard with his hands, his eyes fixed on Yun Che's dazzling golden hair.

He smiled and said, "My friend Yun Che, it seems you have made another breakthrough.

The hair and eyes have changed color, it's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “It’s indeed a breakthrough. I didn’t expect that even my hair and eyes couldn’t turn back to black this time. It’s quite miraculous.”

Yun Che stared quietly ahead, only to see Xu Wan performing a sword dance with a graceful figure, the sword light like water, as graceful as a startled swan.

He picked up a cup of fragrant tea and gently offered it to Chen Xuan beside him, with a smile of admiration on his lips: "My poor disciple has become even better after being trained by you.

This skill of practicing swordplay through dancing and drawing circles with one foot is truly breathtaking."

He paused, a look of anticipation appeared on his face, and he looked at Chen Xuan with burning eyes: "Brother Chen Xuan, I want to discuss something with you.

When Wan'er ascends to heaven, I want to become her Taoist partner and explore the supreme heavenly way together.

Please be a matchmaker and help us achieve this fairy tale relationship.

If you agree, I will call you foster father from now on, how about that?"

Chen Xuan was leisurely sipping his tea, but upon hearing this, he suddenly choked and the tea sprayed out.

He stared at Yun Che with eyes wide open, looking at him in astonishment: "Yun Che, do you know what you are talking about?

You are the high and mighty Emperor, and calling me your foster father will shorten my lifespan, won't it? "

There was a hint of disbelief in his tone, as if he was very surprised by Yun Che's proposal.

Yun Che suddenly laughed and explained to Chen Xuan, "Brother Chen Xuan, since you seem bored, I was just joking.

If I were to become a Taoist partner with that wicked disciple, I would never have a peaceful life again!"

Xu Wan, who was dancing on the platform, was displeased when she heard this.

She couldn't help but slow down her dance moves, thinking to herself: Mo Yunchen, why are you such a person?

The sky suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, and the sunlight could not penetrate, making the whole scene depressing and dull.

The monks were originally immersed in the graceful sword dance, the sword light was like a weave, gorgeous and dazzling,

But at this moment, they seemed to be interrupted by an invisible force. They all stopped what they were doing and looked up at the heart-pounding sky.

On the high platform, Xu Wan had stopped dancing with his sword, his eyes flashing with doubt and worry as he stared at the dark clouded sky.

Beside her, Chen Xuan, Yun Che, Jiu Yang, Jun Yan and Shuang Yue stood in a row.

Their expressions varied, some were solemn, some were curious, and some were filled with a hint of anticipation.

Chen Xuan stroked his long beard and nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a deep look: "Which disciple's tribulation is this? I am quite looking forward to it."

There was a hint of indifference and detachment in his tone, as if he was already accustomed to the heavenly tribulation, the most cruel test in the world.

But Yun Che was different. He looked at the sky, his heart involuntarily tightening, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be Wan'er..."

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he quickly suppressed it, but the worry in his heart was difficult to calm down.

At this moment, black lightning suddenly appeared in the sky. They were like wandering dragons, shuttling and circling in the dark clouds, emitting a heart-pounding breath.

Seeing this, the monks in the audience panicked and shouted, "That's black thunder!"

"Is the power of black thunder greater than purple thunder?" someone asked in a trembling voice.

"No, the black thunder is not just a matter of power. It is a punishment from heaven, a symbol of heaven's punishment for sinners."

Another person explained palely.

"Emperor, Sect Master, quickly strengthen the defense!" Someone in the crowd shouted towards the platform.

They were afraid that the black thunder would affect them. After all, they were just cultivators and were powerless to resist the power of heaven and earth.

"Chenxuan, set up the magic circle!"

Yun Che shouted anxiously, his eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Chen Xuan slowly turned his head and looked at Yun Che’s worried expression, with a hint of indifference on the corner of his mouth.

He said softly, "Since it is a punishment from heaven, then the guilty person should bear it.

Who could it be? I am quite looking forward to it.

"The power of black thunder is extremely great. If we don't set up the magic circle in time,

I'm afraid all the disciples of Lingshan will not be able to escape death.

Chen Xuan, do you really want to see this result?"

After saying this, Yun Che closed his eyes and concentrated, quickly forming seals with his hands, changing into various postures, and setting up a solid barrier that shone with golden light.

Shuangyue, Junyan and Jiuyang simultaneously cast their respective magic arrays.

High in the sky, five magic arrays of different colors complemented each other, and their power merged with each other.

It gradually condensed into a huge and indestructible barrier, tightly wrapping the entire Lingshan Square.

At this moment, fierce black thunders struck the defensive formation like a dragon.

Every collision was accompanied by a deafening roar and splashing flames, which was terrifying.

Xu Wan witnessed this scene and knew that the current defensive formation alone could not withstand the power of heaven's punishment for long.

She took a deep breath and looked firmly at the monks below the stage.

The voice said in a resounding voice: "Fellow Daoists, Lingshan is in danger at this moment. Let us work together to protect this holy land.

Please set up your own magic circle to add strength to our defense!"

Upon hearing this, all the monks gathered their minds, began to concentrate, and cast their respective spells.

For a moment, many colorful small magic circles appeared above Lingshan Square, echoing with the main defense magic circle, and together they resisted the raging black thunder.

When Yun Che saw this scene, the anxiety in his heart finally subsided a little.

However, at this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly made a move.

His expression was indifferent, and a long sword condensed out of thin air in his hand. The sword flashed with cold light, as if it could cut off all obstacles in the world.

He threw the sword high into the air and shouted, "Break!"

The long sword instantly split into countless pieces in the air, each carrying the power of purple thunder, attacking the huge defensive formation like a rainstorm.

Seeing this, Yun Che couldn't help but feel a little confused. He quickly asked, "Chen Xuan, what do you mean?"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes like knives: "The Emperor of Heaven sent down the punishment from heaven, naturally to punish that sinner.

How can we favor this person and let him escape the punishment of heaven?"
