After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

The red-robed elder of the Divine Sword Sect launched the first attack, directly targeting the Qiongshan Sect:

"We have gathered here today because of the strange events that have occurred in the Nine Star Secret Realm. Our Divine Sword Sect has suffered heavy losses on this trip, and we hope that the Qiongshan Sect can provide a convincing explanation."

Chen Liyun's expression turned unfriendly as soon as she saw the woman in red.

Hearing this again, it was clear that they were shifting all the blame onto the Qiongshan Sect, which enraged him, and he retorted:

"Does this mean my Qiongshan Sect suffered no losses? It's just a pity that my Qiongshan Sect doesn't have the same ambition as your sect, sending a half-step Golden Core quasi-elder to the Nine Star Secret Realm. The Divine Sword Sect has grand ambitions; how could our small sect dare to compare?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in red's face instantly turned ashen, and she roared:

"Elder Chen, what do you mean by this? No matter how grand our Divine Sword Sect's ambitions may be, they cannot compare to your sect's collusion with the demonic path! This is indeed in line with your style!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Liyun's expression changed drastically, as if she had been struck on a sore spot.

The sect leader's expression was also grim, but he stopped Chen Liyun, who was about to erupt, and slowly said:

"Since the Nine Star Secret Realm was discovered by our three sects, it has been opened more than ten times without any accidents. Now that the cause of the anomaly has not yet been found out, Fellow Daoist Red Butterfly is pushing all the responsibility onto the Qiongshan Sect, which is a trumped-up charge."

"As for Fellow Daoist Red Butterfly's claim of colluding with the demonic path, that is utter nonsense! It was indeed a momentary oversight on the part of our Qiongshan Sect that allowed that demonic person to sneak into the Nine Star Secret Realm. But there was absolutely no collusion involved."

"That person is now dead in the secret realm, and his motives are impossible to find out. Fortunately, his servant escaped by chance. I have brought him here as well. If your family wishes to search his soul or torture him, you may do so at your discretion."

"A mere outer disciple thinks he can take full responsibility for this matter? Old Daoist Huanglong, you've certainly got a good plan! Everyone saw it that day; the Foundation Establishment disciple behind you walked out of the secret realm at the same time as this person."

"The Red Butterfly Fairy is being aggressive, all for this immortal sword! If you want it, you can have it. Why make things difficult for that Foundation Establishment junior who brought the immortal sword out of the secret realm!"

Huanglong Daoist's tone turned serious, and he directly took out a three-foot-long sword from his storage bag. The sword was golden in color and its blade was engraved with strange runes.

The moment the sword was drawn, it rang out without wind, its clear and melodious sound like the cry of a phoenix, which invigorated everyone present.

Seeing that the sword was indeed in the hands of the Qiongshan Sect, the Red Butterfly Fairy felt somewhat relieved. However, she still felt embarrassed that her intentions had been so directly exposed.

Just as things were about to escalate, the young elder of Beast Taming Valley, who had remained silent until now, finally stepped in and stopped the heated argument between the two sides.

Throughout the entire process, Long Yucheng kept his head down and remained silent, seemingly accepting his fate.

The moment the Crimson Flame Sword appeared, it seemed to resonate with the sword's cry, and its body trembled slightly.

Huo Yu, however, could see the unwillingness in his clenched fists.

Long Yucheng was waiting for an opportunity, and Huo Yu was also waiting for a catalyst.

And that opportunity soon arrived.

As a slight commotion arose outside the main hall, the expressions of the elders present all changed.

The young man from Beast Taming Valley listened intently for a moment, then gave a telepathic signal before the elder from Beast Taming Valley beside him rose and left the Lotus Pavilion.

"Please calm down, everyone. He's just a remnant of the demonic path."

The young man from Beast Taming Valley said calmly,

"Several elders from our Beast Taming Valley are dealing with them; they are nothing to worry about."

"These remnants of the demonic path jumped out at the exact moment, which suggests they had planned this all along."

The Red Butterfly Fairy glanced meaningfully at the Qiongshan Sect members, and before Chen Liyun could react, she stood up and said:

"It's a good opportunity for me to go and meet this audacious demonic cultivator. The righteous territory isn't a place he can come and go as he pleases!"

Having said that, Fairy Red Butterfly transformed into a streak of red light and sped away.

After consulting with Huanglong Daoist, Chen Liyun followed suit. At this moment, only three elders remained in the hall.

Just then, a black streak of light suddenly appeared in the hall and rushed straight toward the Crimson Flame Sword.

Huanglong Daoist reacted the fastest, and was about to put away the Zhu Yan Sword, but he was still a step too late.

After obtaining the immortal sword, the dark figure did not linger and immediately broke through the window on the other side.

"You villain, don't run away!"

Huanglong Daoist patted his storage bag, and the cyan gourd emerged instantly, transforming into a streak of cyan light that sped away.

Not to be outdone, the elder from the Divine Sword Sect summoned his flying sword and followed closely behind.

The young man from Beast Taming Valley's expression changed slightly, but he did not pursue the sword thief. Instead, he turned around and chased after Huo Yu, who had taken the opportunity to escape from the main hall with Long Yucheng.

He sighed inwardly: What a brilliant tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

"Senior Brother Yu, watch out behind you!"

Long Yucheng seemed to have gotten used to being carried away at high speed by various creatures these past few days, and still had the energy to remind Huo Yu.

Huo Yu, with his keen senses, noticed the golden arc of light rushing towards him from behind. His expression remained unchanged, and he stepped into the air, doubling his speed.

The golden light missed its target and flew back into the young man's hand from the Beast Taming Valley, transforming into a rapidly spinning golden ring.

The young man from Beast Taming Valley retrieved his golden ring, patted his spirit beast pouch, and a huge creature resembling a rat appeared beneath his feet. With a whoosh, it stirred up a whirlwind, and he stepped onto this whirlwind, his speed increasing dramatically.

Huo Yu sensed that more and more pursuers were coming from behind him. With a thought, the black light that had stolen the immortal sword earlier sped over from a distance. The black light contained the hybrid grain dragon.

The two who had been chasing it earlier were now far behind.

As the black light approached, it tossed the Crimson Flame Sword it held in its mouth directly to Huo Yu, then took Long Yucheng from Huo Yu's hand and fled in another direction.

The two pursuers abandoned their black escape light without hesitation and chased after Huo Yu, who was wielding the Crimson Flame Sword, forming a pincer movement with the youth from Beast Taming Valley.

"Fellow Daoist Huanglong, is this the innocent Foundation Establishment junior you speak of?"

The old man from the Divine Sword Sect could not fly as fast as Huanglong Daoist, but he arrived a step behind him, and his sarcastic words were merciless.

Huanglong Daoist's face was gloomy. Instead of answering, he asked a question and took out a light purple spirit sword from his storage bag, staring coldly at Huo Yu who was standing with the sword.

When the old man from the Divine Sword Sect saw the spirit sword, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Before the young man from Beast Taming Valley arrived, Huo Yu activated his spiritual power to wield the Crimson Flame Sword in his hand. A crimson sword light quickly took shape, carrying a scorching temperature that could almost burn the air, and shot through the air, its target being the weakest elder from the Divine Sword Sect!

The old man from the Divine Sword Sect sharpened his gaze, drew the giant sword from his back, and unleashed his sword intent as he activated his sword technique.

He cultivates the Mountain-Moving Sword Technique, and his sword intent is as powerful as moving mountains and overturning seas.

However, with just one move, the Mountain-Moving Sword Intent was shattered by Huo Yu's seemingly ordinary crimson sword energy.

The second sword energy that followed pierced directly through the body of the old man from the Divine Sword Sect!
