Upon hearing this, Gu Yao paused, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, and his gaze fell on Shen Zhezhu.

The boy's figure was mostly shrouded in black mist, the red and black colors intertwined, making his handsome face look somewhat eerie.

Gu Yao smiled, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Then what about my good disciple?"

"Are you feeling sorry for these filthy bastards under your command?"

"Or do you really think these filthy things can easily hurt me?"

Gu Yao's eyes narrowed, his gaze sweeping around, a smile playing on his lips, tinged with disgust.

Shen Zhezhu shrugged and glanced at the restless demons around him. The ferocious demons that had been baring their fangs and claws just moments before instantly withdrew their claws and became as docile as a flock of quails.

"How could Master think that way? These filthy things are naturally not qualified to touch Master."

He glanced with disgust at the ugly demons reeking of blood and stench around him, then looked at Gu Yao with a tender yet eerie gaze, "This disciple will naturally... take Master's life personally!"

At this point, red demonic runes slowly crept onto the boy's originally pale and handsome face, causing the Wujue Sword to hum. The boy reached out and pressed it down, and the Wujue Sword stopped vibrating.

But the eerie demonic markings on his face did not lessen at all; they slowly wriggled and intertwined, looking extremely strange, as if they had come to life.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Yao discovered that the interwoven patterns of the demonic runes actually formed overlapping eyes, glowing with an eerie red light. The boy's dark eyes also slowly turned scarlet, carrying a fierce light.

The black aura around him seemed to sense his emotions, churning and bubbling like boiling water, constantly eroding the formation below.

Gu Yao's gaze sharpened, and he remained silent.

If this is delayed any longer, the backlash that was finally suppressed will come back with a vengeance.

Gu Yao sighed inwardly, somewhat regretting that he had just drunk the whole pot of wine.

There are no other ingredients available to make another pot of medicinal wine.

Then let's finish this quickly!

Gu Yao pursed his lips. "System, use the third chance!"

The cannon fodder system, which had been hiding for a long time, paused upon hearing this, and remained silent for a while before speaking, "Are you sure about the host? You will die."

Gu Yao curled the corner of his lips. "But I was going to die today anyway. What difference does it make how I die?"

The cannon fodder system was stunned for a moment, and then, as if it had compromised, Gu Yao felt a powerful force flowing into his body, which held his shattered spiritual veins together and greatly relieved the pain.

Gu Yao's eyes revealed a hint of pleasure; the feeling of physical ease was truly delightful.

He could finally have a proper fight with the person in front of him!

The young man in red exuded a fierce fighting spirit. His blood-red lips were slightly curved, and a touch of red at the corner of his eye made his beautiful face even more stunning, like a red spider lily blooming on the other side of the River Styx, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.

The silver-white spirit sword in his hand trembled and hummed incessantly, as if sensing its master's excitement.

With his light-colored eyes fixed on the person half-hidden in the dark clouds, Gu Yao gathered strength in his toes, stomped down suddenly, and flashed away. Zhu Yan, carrying a chilling aura, slashed straight at Shen Zhezhu's face!

The boy's eyes paused slightly, and he drew his sword, Wu Jue, to block, but was forced back by the fierce attack!

Even the black aura enveloping the boy's body was shaken apart, revealing its ugly underside.

The tangled, writhing demonic patterns resembled ugly, monstrous seeds parasitizing the otherwise flawless body, feeding on flesh and blood, taking root, sprouting, and gradually growing stronger.

Gu Yao's eyes flickered slightly, but before he could see anything clearly, the scattered black energy had already wrapped around the boy's body again.

Shen Zhezhu glanced down, then looked up at the somewhat stunned Gu Yao, his expression strange, a peculiar smile twisting his lips. "Master is using my spiritual power, and he really shows no mercy..."

His voice was deep and somewhat hoarse, like a lover's whisper, yet it had an inexplicable eeriness to it.

Gu Yao, however, remained unmoved by his seduction, her eyes still clear. "You should have known long ago that your illusions are useless against me!"

Whether or not he possessed spiritual power, Shen Zhezhu's illusions were always useless against him.

Shen Zhezhu suddenly burst into laughter at me, raised her hand to cover her face, and her expression instantly twisted. "Yes, the illusion techniques I've learned are useless against Master, but I still want to try. Even if it's fake, I still want Master to fall for me!"

"But why, why does Master always manage to stab me in the heart so easily?"

"Later I learned, Master, that destiny is in our own hands!"

The boy's eyes were bloodshot, and beautiful sparks ignited in them, condensing into the shape of a fire lotus, which suddenly appeared and outlined with golden circles.

Gu Yao's eyes flickered, he lowered his gaze, and said coldly, "Further words are useless. If you want war, then let's fight!"

The black aura surrounding the boy spread out instantly, reaching a radius of a hundred miles around the Tianqian Sect. Apart from the main sect, which was protected by the sect's protective formation, all the spiritual mountains belonging to the Tianqian Sect were swallowed up by the black aura, their vitality destroyed.

Before the spirit beasts living in the sacred mountain could even let out a scream, they had already turned into skeletons.

The entire sky was shrouded in black mist, as if the heavens were collapsing. The black mist eroded the spirit array, causing it to shatter into pieces.

The disciples of the Tianqian Sect turned pale as they watched this terrifying scene. The black mist, carrying endless death energy, slowly pressed down, creating a feeling that left them powerless to resist. The threat of death loomed over the disciples, making them tremble with fear.

The crowd instantly descended into chaos, a cacophony of shouts and screams.

"Let's go!"

"The sect's protective formation has been broken!"

"Run! This black mist will devour life!"

"Don't get entangled in the black mist!"

"..."

A sinister smile crept across the young man's face as he coldly watched the disciples scatter and flee below. With a wave of his hand, ten thousand sparks of spiritual fire drifted around him. "Master, would someone as ruthless as you care about their lives?"

Gu Yao frowned, not answering Shen Zhezhu's question. He raised his hand to form a seal, and the spirit sword swept across his palm, swiftly forcing out essence blood. A few drops of bright red blood floated before Shen Zhezhu's eyes, like needles piercing his heart.

His expression twisted, his face contorted with barely suppressed jealousy. "Master is truly... a man of great wisdom and righteousness..."

But she was only ruthless towards him.

Why?

Is it that he didn't do well enough?

Gu Yao's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hand, lightly touched a few drops of essence blood with his fingertips, and then slapped the essence blood into the Heavenly Spirit Array with his palm.

On the altar of Zhongfeng, the stagnant Taiji diagram began to rotate, emitting bursts of bloody light, and the emerald green branches rapidly extended!

Stretch it out again!

They quickly twisted and coiled together, forming a huge and solid net that held up the collapsing spirit array. Gu Chou and the others stepped onto the four peaks and poured their spiritual power into the spirit crystals that were suppressing the array.

Seeing his disciples scatter and flee, Gu Chou turned his hand upside down and twisted his body, "All disciples, listen to my command! Form ranks according to the positions you set up before the battle, and fight together against the enemy!"

Those who can enter the inner sect of the Tianqian Sect are naturally not ordinary people, and they reacted quickly upon Gu Chou's command.

"Formation!"

The disciples then performed their respective duties, and the Heavenly Spirit Array was fully activated!
