Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

"Fellow Daoist of the Blazing Sun Sect is truly righteous!" Fairy Ling Shuang's clear and cold voice rang out. Although she had some reservations about True Person Huo Yun's sudden intervention, she prioritized the overall situation and echoed his sentiments.

"With the assistance of True Person Huoyun and fellow Daoists from the Lieyang Sect, victory in this battle is assured!" True Person Qingsong spoke up from the rear camp, his voice filled with excitement.

Below, Shi Tie wiped the blood from his face and grinned, "Damn it, that old guy finally did something decent! Brothers, our friends from the Blazing Sun Sect are here to help! Let's give it our all and clean up these bastards!"

The cultivators of Qingyun Sect, Xuanbing Pavilion, and other sects were greatly encouraged. Meanwhile, the remnants of the Xuanyin Sect were ashen-faced and utterly despairing. Even their supposed "ally," the Lieyang Sect, had turned against them; who could possibly turn the tide?

"Fire Cloud! How dare you betray the alliance! Abandon the Holy Lord!" The demonic projection let out a sharp roar filled with the rage of betrayal, but it was too weak to even maintain its form, let alone pose a threat.

"An alliance? What alliance could we possibly have with a demon from beyond the realm like you?" True Man Huoyun sneered, waving his hand. "Blazing Sun Guards, heed my command! Construct the 'Heaven-Burning and Sea-Boiling Grand Array' to assist Fellow Daoist Shen in purifying the demon and destroying the altar!"

"yes!"

On more than a dozen flying boats of the Blazing Sun Sect, hundreds of Blazing Sun Guards responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens. Highly trained, they swiftly moved their flying boats, taking up positions in various directions. Simultaneously, they aimed their flaming halberds or crossbows at the valley below, their immense fire-elemental spiritual power frantically converging and weaving in the air to form a massive array inscribed with countless flaming runes, covering a significant portion of Burial Soul Valley!

At the center of the formation, it was aimed at the weakened projection of the Heavenly Demon and the last dark red banner!

The intense heat spread out, distorting even the air. The remaining evil and deathly energy in the valley was quickly evaporated and purified as if it had met its nemesis.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Pavilion Master Ling Shuang, please step back a little to avoid being affected by the formation," Huo Yun Zhenren said to Shen Mo and Ling Shuang, his tone carrying a sense of confidence in controlling the overall situation.

Shen Mo, Ling Shuang, and Leng Yue exchanged a glance and tacitly withdrew, but they did not completely relax their vigilance, maintaining their focus on the altar and the projection of the Heavenly Demon. They also wanted to see just how powerful the "Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea Formation" of the Blazing Sun Sect was, and what tricks True Person Huoyun was up to.

"Burning the heavens... Boiling the seas! Fall!"

Master Huoyun pointed his fingers like a sword at the valley below and made a vague gesture.

"Buzz—!"

In the sky, the massive fiery array suddenly lit up. At its center, boundless fiery spiritual power was frantically compressed and condensed, eventually transforming into a pillar of light called "True Sun Fire," which was over three zhang in diameter, pure dark gold in color, seemingly capable of melting everything, and radiating terrifying high temperature and the aura of supreme yang that wards off evil. Like a spear of heavenly punishment, it carried the magnificent power to burn away the eight wastelands and crashed down, its target aimed directly at the Heavenly Demon projection and the last banner!

"No—! Holy Lord... will not let you go—!" The Heavenly Demon projection let out a final, desperate, and unwilling roar before being completely engulfed by the dark golden pillar of "True Sun Fire"!

"laugh--!"

There was no explosion, only an extreme sound of "annihilation," as if even space itself was being burned and pierced through. The dark red demonic shadow, in that supreme yang fire, was like snow meeting the scorching sun, rapidly melting and vaporizing, leaving not even a trace behind.

The last dark red banner, along with the core area of ​​the altar beneath it, was instantly transformed into a boiling, churning pool of crimson lava under the terrifying heat and exorcising power. All the evil runes and traces of blood sacrifice were completely purified and erased!

Just one strike!

The Blazing Sun Sect's "Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea Formation" wiped out the weakened Heavenly Demon projection and Blood Sacrifice Core from this world with overwhelming force! The power and efficiency it displayed were terrifying, and it also demonstrated the Blazing Sun Sect's profound foundation and formidable strength as a long-established overlord of the Southern Region.

The valley fell silent for a moment. Only the bubbling of the crimson lava pool and the lingering heat and acrid smell in the air could be heard.

ended.

The Xuan Yin Sect's conspiracy, which ravaged the Valley of Burial Souls, plotted a blood sacrifice, and lured the Heavenly Demon, came to an end with the annihilation of the last banner and the Heavenly Demon's projection.

With the melting of the altar's core and the successive deaths of three late-stage Golden Core elders, it finally... ended in complete failure.

The sunlight seemed to pierce through the lingering clouds and smoke of battle, shining down on this Valley of Death, which had just experienced an earth-shattering battle, bringing a long-lost warmth tinged with the chill of blood.

"We won...we won!" After a brief silence, someone shouted out in a hoarse voice.

Immediately afterwards, as if a powder keg had been lit, the surviving cultivators of Qingyun Sect, Xuanbing Pavilion, Baicao Sect, and Qingmu Temple erupted in deafening cheers and shouts! The relief of surviving the calamity, the excitement of winning the battle, and the grief of losing their comrades intertwined and transformed into a towering wave of sound.

"We won! Long live the sect leader! Long live the Qingyun Sect!"

"They're all dead! Hahaha! All the scum of the Xuan Yin Sect are wiped out!"

"Senior brother! Did you see that? We won! I avenged you!" A disciple hugged his comrade's broken body, crying and laughing at the same time.

Shi Tie plopped down on the ground, his giant axe clattering to the side. He panted heavily, looking at the cheering disciples and the mess on the ground. He grinned, wanting to laugh, but the movement aggravated the wound on his face, causing him to wince in pain. In the end, it turned into a sigh that was a mixture of exhaustion and relief.

Supported by several disciples, Wang Hu managed to stand, a relieved smile appearing on his pale face. Su Xiao quietly retreated into the shadows, her aloof face remaining expressionless, though the grip on her short blade loosened slightly.

Fairy Ling Shuang and Elder Leng Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging a glance and both seeing the weariness and a hint of relief in each other's eyes. Ling Shuang nodded slightly to Shen Mo in the air and True Person Huo Yun in the distance.

Shen Mo hovered in the air, looking down at the boiling lava pool and the cheering crowd. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he wasn't completely at ease. He looked up at the dozen or so crimson flying boats of the Blazing Sun Sect in the southeast, and at the Fire Cloud True Man standing with his hands behind his back, his red hair flying.

Master Huoyun was also looking at him, and their eyes met across the distance.

"Fellow Daoist Shen broke through the Heavenly Tribulation in the face of battle, and slew powerful enemies one after another. He is truly a hero among young people, and his deeds are admirable." True Man Huoyun laughed loudly, his voice resounding throughout the valley. "Today, being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow Daoists to eradicate the Xuan Yin Sect, a malignant tumor, and thwart the Heavenly Demon's conspiracy is truly a blessing for the Southern Region! My Lieyang Sect has only contributed a small amount of effort, which is not worth mentioning."

That was a beautifully said statement, both flattering Shen Mo and elevating the "role" of the Lieyang Sect, as if they were the key to determining the outcome.

Shen Mo understood perfectly well, but he didn't show it on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Huo Yun, you flatter me. If it weren't for your timely intervention and the actions of the Lieyang Sect members, who burned away the demons, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain. Fellow Daoist's noble character will be forever remembered by Shen Mo and the Qingyun Sect."

Since the Blazing Sun Sect has chosen to "take sides" and offer assistance at this moment, regardless of their initial motives, Shen Mo must accept this "favor," at least publicly. Moreover, the Blazing Sun Sect is powerful, and it would be unwise to antagonize them at this time.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Shen, you're too kind. As fellow righteous cultivators, it's only natural for us to help each other."

Master Huoyun stroked his long, crimson beard, his smile growing even warmer, but a deep glint remained in his eyes. "The matter here is settled, but the Xuan Yin Sect Master has not yet been executed, and there may still be remnants within his sect. Fellow Daoist Shen has just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and still needs to consolidate his cultivation. How about our two sects discuss this in detail later, jointly devising a grand plan to eliminate the remnants and stabilize the Southern Region?"

This is about dividing up the spoils of victory and establishing a new post-war order in the southern region.

Huoyun Zhenren clearly wanted to take this opportunity to divide the interests and "cooperate" with Shen Mo, who was rising in popularity and had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and the Qingyun Sect he represented.

Shen Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That is indeed my wish, I dare not ask. After I make some arrangements, I will meet with you, fellow Daoist."

"Good! Excellent!" Master Huoyun clapped his hands and laughed. "Then I will stay at Crimson Flame Peak ahead and await Fellow Daoist Shen's good news." After saying that, he waved to the person behind him.

The flying boat of the Blazing Sun Sect slowly turned around and flew towards the outside of Burial Soul Valley. It was obviously going to set up a temporary camp on a red mountain peak not far away. They were calm and composed, as if they were the masters of this place.
