Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 215 I humbly acknowledge that the Holy Emperor governs the world through human virtue.

At the Dragon-Slaying Pass, Master Yinshan had already unleashed his full magical power.

Although Lu Yang's performance was so eye-catching that few people paid attention to his strength, this does not mean that Yinshan Zhenren was weak.

At least Lü Yang would never think that way.

After all, before him, Yinshan Zhenren was Chongguang Zhenren's most trusted subordinate, and with Chongguang's discerning eye, he would naturally not value a mediocre talent.

"Boom!"

With another loud bang, the black mountain crashed down, this time transforming into the size of a washbasin, yet its weight remained unchanged.

As the seal fell, Zhong Xin was forced to summon his own [Official Position] to fight back. However, Yinshan Zhenren's fighting style was unrestrained and powerful. The black mountain seal kept bombarding him, but he brought the method of controlling the size of the seal to the extreme. Sometimes it was like Mount Tai pressing down, and sometimes it was like breaking through the surface with a point, making it difficult to deal with.

Meanwhile, two more beams of light rose up inside the Dragon-Slaying Pass.

When the dazzling light faded, the two revealed their true forms: the Five Elements True Man and the Treasure Boy. However, their faces were filled with solemnity.

"Has he come? Could he be lying in ambush on us?"

For a moment, neither of them dared to help Zhong Xin. Instead, they hid inside the formation of the Dragon-Slaying Pass and cautiously surveyed every corner of the outside world.

I'm really scared, there's no way around it.

With the example of the old man who fished for dragons, they no longer dared to trust their own divine sense, fearing that a Lu Yang might suddenly jump out of the void and kill them.

Upon seeing this, Master Yinshan shook his head and chuckled, while Zhong Xin looked helpless and hurriedly sent a telepathic message: "Seniors, please come and help me."

Since Zhong Xin had said so, Wu Xing Zhenren and Duobao Tongzi could only grit their teeth, take out all their protective magic treasures, and fight their way out. Then, two more beams of light flew in from nowhere and intercepted the two in mid-air. They were none other than Hanxiang and the valiant woman Yu Chan, who were fighting alongside Yinshan Zhenren this time.

"Looks like he really didn't come!"

Although both of them were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, making them formidable opponents for Wu Xing Zhenren and Duobao Tongzi, they suddenly appeared relaxed.

"That fiend doesn't seem to be here!"

For them, the shock of Lü Yang killing the Dragon-Fishing Elder with a single sword strike was too great; even when they were in seclusion to recuperate, they couldn't help but recall the scene from that day.

Now that Lü Yang was not around, the two of them suddenly stood up in surprise again.

Soon, the six Foundation Establishment stage cultivators began to fight each other in the air above Zhanlong Pass, but they were deadlocked and could not truly determine a winner.

In addition, both sides' early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators also made their appearance.

More than half an hour passed, and just when the Five Elements True Man and the Treasure Boy were finding it difficult to hold on, a sword light suddenly appeared in the distance.

"clank!"

The sword's cry was earth-shattering, and wherever it passed, sword intent surged forth, chilling people to the bone. The sword's edge was unbiased, pointing directly at the Yinshan Zhenren at the very top!
"Fellow Daoists from the Shangxuan Sword Sect have arrived!"

Upon seeing this, the Five Elements True Man was overjoyed: "A sword cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, possessing sword intent, must be the master of the Xuan Tie Sword. This person is enough to break the deadlock!"

Six Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators were locked in a fierce battle, and now that they had one more, they naturally had the upper hand.

Zhong Xin smiled upon seeing this.

On the other side, Master Yinshan frowned slightly, but did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the retreat from Zhanlong Pass before the sword light arrived.

This retreat immediately drew the ire of many.

"Fellow Daoist Yinshan."

Outside Zhanlong Pass, Hanxiang was the first to approach, speaking softly, "We suffered heavy casualties this time. I wonder why you retreated voluntarily?" "Your Blood Filth Technique is indeed exquisite, but it can only be used temporarily. We have paid such a heavy price to reduce the power of Zhanlong Pass's formation. However, if we give them time to breathe and adjust, to repair the formation, then these casualties will be meaningless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Yinshan was stunned.

"Today was just a small test, to gauge the enemy's strength. We didn't engage in any major battles, and not a single Foundation Establishment cultivator died. So how could there be such heavy casualties?"

At this point, a hint of coldness appeared in Master Yinshan's eyes:

"Or is it that some True Immortals are cowardly and no longer want to contribute to the Holy Sect? Don't forget, this great battle is right above our heads!"

Deserting in the face of battle, do you want to eat the Holy Sect's iron fist?
"I mean a disciple of the Qi Refining stage."

Hanxiang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Although the True Person is unharmed, many Qi Refining disciples have died, which is why I have come to inquire about this matter."

"What? Qi Refining is considered human?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Hanxiang broke out in a cold sweat, only to see Yinshan Zhenren looking at her with the same puzzled expression. She was terrified but also helpless.

'Damn it! Everyone says the Holy Sect uses people as tools, completely disregarding the thoughts of their Qi Refining disciples. They use people for weapon crafting, pill refining, and cultivation at the drop of a hat. I thought even if it wasn't just a rumor, there must have been some exaggeration, but now it seems they've even embellished it! No wonder they're called the Demonic Sect of Jiangbei!'

Thinking of this, she quickly bowed and said:
"It was my mistake."

Just then, the valiant woman named Yu Chan, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Yuan Tu? Where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, True Man Yinshan glanced at Yu Chan and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Yu Chan, this matter concerns the grand plan of the Holy Sect and cannot be lost. Right now, the True Monarch is overlooking the entire battlefield. People are doing things, and Heaven is watching. Don't bring up those messy accounts of your Zouyu descendants and the Dao Court again."

Yu Chan is a true person who is a descendant of the Zouyu in the Holy Sect.

Before this battle, she was a True Person assigned by the Holy Sect to monitor the Qing Kingdom, after all, as a descendant of the Zouyu, she had a blood feud with the Dao Court.

But things are different now.

Since this concerns the ascension of the True Man Chongguang and his pursuit of gold, the True Man Yinshan would absolutely not allow a mere descendant of the fallen Zouyu to make any underhanded moves.

"Of course I understand that."

Yu Chan remained calm and continued, "Given the situation just now, if Yuan Tu had made a move, we would have had at least a 70% chance of breaking through Zhanlong Pass."

"Zhalong Pass is not important."

Master Yinshan shook his head: "The Holy Sect has always ruled the world with people, and putting people first is the Holy Sect's philosophy. Zhanlong Pass is nothing but a dead end."

"What truly matters are the gatekeepers."

"As you just said, if Yuan Tu were still alive, there would be at least a 70% chance of breaking through the barrier. In other words, the current people are not enough to hold it."

"The one who can truly hold on has not yet arrived."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chan immediately showed a look of surprise: "Fellow Daoist, are you referring to the Shangxuan Sword Sect?"

The five major powers within the Qing Kingdom are led by the Xuanjian Sect, because they received funding from Jiangnan and thus truly inherited some of the sword cultivation tradition.

The sect leader of the Shangxuan Sword Sect, the current Shangxuan True Man, has reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. It is said that he has recently gone into seclusion with the support of the Sword Pavilion, preparing to break through to the late stage. Once he succeeds in breaking through, with the Great True Man personally overseeing the situation, Zhanlong Pass will immediately become impregnable.

"That's right, our task is simply to exert pressure and restraint."

Seeing this, Master Yinshan nodded, and a slight smile finally appeared on his lips: "Yuan Tu has gone to deal with the people who are truly capable of guarding Zhanlong Pass."
