After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Did they think that by restricting her movements, they were helpless?

Wen Ningqing's previous personality was indeed decisive, but she was never reckless and would never needlessly put herself in danger.

Looking at Ling Yun again, he thought he had victory in his grasp! The domain was open, and no one else could enter unless they broke through the domain first, which would mean that Wen Ningqing would also be seriously injured, and the people of Miaofa Sect would not agree to that.

Let them stand their ground; the final result will definitely be the sacrifice of this bastard.

By the time their argument ended, he had already dodged most of the lightning tribulations thanks to his domain.

In conclusion, he was the ultimate winner!
Inner demons are the collection of negative thoughts within a person. When they gain the upper hand, the mind stops thinking and easily becomes arrogant and complacent.

Just as he was feeling smug, Wen Ningqing suddenly vanished on the spot, disappearing without a trace, along with her domain!
Seeing this, the people below naturally went to intercept Ling Yun.

What if a fallen demon is released and becomes a threat to them? Demons have no conscience or kindness; they only know how to kill.

Ling Yun sneered, "Since everyone wants him to die, then I'll drag them all down with me!"

His demonic energy surged, and he attempted to take everyone down with him. Especially that wretched child; if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been exposed so prematurely!
The Immortal Sect Grand Competition gathered a dozen or twenty Nascent Soul cultivators. He, who had not yet officially become a Purple Demon, was naturally no match for them unless he survived and advanced to the Heavenly Demon realm.

Because demons are bloodthirsty and cruel, they can cultivate through forbidden techniques, allowing them to advance rapidly. Therefore, the heavenly lightning they receive is not a tribulation, but destruction.

Ling Yun's plan was to quickly gather demonic energy to trap everyone, using them to shield him from the lightning punishment.

So what if the lightning strikes with pinpoint accuracy that day? He'll turn these people into four groups and see how the lightning hits them!
His idea was good, but he was too arrogant! He ignored the fact that those who came to intercept him were not weaklings, and underestimated their strength and resources.

Just as Ling Yun was preparing for a desperate fight, Sect Leader Xuan also flew in to join the fray. With a wave of his immortal sword, a powerful sword aura shot straight toward Ling Yun.

"I never imagined that my Xuantian Sect would have such a self-destructive peak master. This is my dereliction of duty, and I will surely cleanse the sect to restore the name of my Xuantian Sect!"

Xuan Zhang's voice was loud and clear, and his face was full of disbelief and heartache as he spoke, as if he had just recovered from the fact that Ling Yun had fallen into demonic possession.

His righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor earned him praise from many disciples, who felt that it was understandable that Sect Leader Xuan was kept in the dark and unaware of the inside story.

Lin Yan remained silent, thinking to herself: At this age, one's cunning only grows. Sect Leader Xuan's move is an attempt to sever ties with Ling Yun, sacrificing the pawn to save the king!

Ling Yun also harbored many grievances against this sect leader. Among everyone present, only Sect Leader Xuan had the lowest strength, so he deliberately picked on the weakest!

As a result, Sect Leader Hu Xuan suffered the most attacks, but no one helped him share the burden.

These two are not only from the same clan, but also from the same school. Who knows if they're just putting on an act?

At this moment, Wen Ningqing reappeared and launched a sneak attack, delivering a fatal blow to Ling Yun!
Taking advantage of his weakness, many joined forces to suppress him, locking him in place so he could not move.

Using the purple lightning, he was struck dead completely.

The crisis passed, the fog lifted, and the disciples below finally came to their senses that the demon had been completely annihilated.

This competition was not only unexpected in its winner, but also full of twists and turns and misfortunes. It is uncertain whether the trials can continue.

……

Lin Yan had been watching the battle from below, never expecting that Ling Yun would die like this.

Although she knew he had fallen to demonic ways, she wanted to force Ling Yun to expose himself in front of everyone, so that everyone would join forces to kill the demon. This plan was a spur-of-the-moment idea! She never expected it to go so smoothly!

There was no other way; she was far too weak compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator, and she sensed Ling Yun's murderous intent towards her. He would find a way to kill her sooner or later, so she had no choice but to use someone else to eliminate Ling Yun.

It's like someone handed you a pillow when you're dozing off!

With Ling Yun dead, the threat to her diminished. While others lamented how a dignified Nascent Soul Venerable could have fallen into demonic ways, she was happy.

After Master Xuan joined the battle, he became Ling Yun's primary target, which is why he suffered the most severe injuries.

Seeing that everyone was there, he said, "We will discuss the follow-up matters in two days. Everyone should go back and recuperate first. My Xuantian Sect also bears responsibility for oversight in this matter, and we will definitely give everyone an explanation at that time."

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Wen Ningqing was the first to object. Lingyun was dead, but the score with her disciple had not yet been settled.

Wen Ningqing stepped forward, blocking the person who wanted to leave.

"Sect Leader Xuan, although Ling Yun is dead, his crimes cannot be wiped clean."

Her eyes were sharp as she stared intently at the slightly guilty-looking Sect Leader Xuan. "You think you can just let all the bullying my disciple has suffered in the Xuan Tian Sect over the years go by like this?"

His expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself that Wen Ningqing's spirit was still haunting him and showing no respect, but he still put on a look of guilt.

“Venerable Duan Yi, I am deeply sorry for what happened to your beloved disciple in my Xuan Tian Sect. It is my dereliction of duty as the sect leader that led to such a terrible incident in the sect.”

He put on a concerned expression and continued, "However, all of you Venerable Ones are injured, so it would be better for you to go back and recuperate first. Moreover, the most important thing right now is the Secret Realm Trial. There are priorities, and we will deal with them separately after the Grand Competition."

She wanted to say something more, but stopped when she received Miaoyin's gaze.

Back at their camp, Wen Ningqing told her disciple to go back and rest well, assuring her that she would definitely help her through to the end and not let Sect Leader Xuan gloss over the matter.

Lin Yan nodded and obediently returned to her own residence in the villa.

Ling Yun's death was already a pleasant surprise for her. It was a pity she never got to make anyone kneel before her in repentance!
Having avenged his great enemy, he felt little joy as he had imagined; instead, his inner demons absorbed a great deal of negative emotions.

Knowing it couldn't defy Lin Yan, it didn't dare to be arrogant. Instead, it cautiously said, "You don't seem very happy that your enemy is dead."

"His death is too good for him! My revenge doesn't mean the pain I suffered in the past can be erased. You don't even understand this, so what kind of manipulative inner demons are you trying to create?"

The inner demon is furious! It was just trying to comfort its original self, but it got choked up! Can it blame itself for this? It wasn't created of its own volition...

It stopped talking and pretended to be dead.

Two days later.

Sect Leader Xuan invited all the elders and peak masters who had come to discuss the competition.

The secret realm trial was prepared by the Xuantian Sect. Given Ling Yun's fall from grace, no one knew whether Ling Yun had tampered with the secret realm. They were just waiting for their disciples to enter the secret realm and die.

After discussion, it was decided to change the location of the secret realm trial to a public secret realm for disciples of various sects to train in.

Points can be earned by hunting monsters or eliminating other disciples in the secret realm. (End of Chapter)
