A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

With a roar, Zhou Hanshan unleashed a terrifying aura of the peak of the Divine Power Realm, and flew madly towards Chen Yang like an arrow released from a bow.

But just as he got close, the five sword saint puppets suddenly changed their shapes and instantly formed a huge sword formation!

With a deafening roar, sword energy crisscrossed, tearing the air apart wherever it passed. Zhou Hanshan's figure exploded within the sword energy, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

This cultivator at the peak of the Divine Power Realm was actually chopped into pieces by the five Sword Saint puppets!

At this moment, the more than two hundred Holy Fire Cult disciples in the canyon lost the blessing of the Holy Fire Altar.

They were already at their limit, their internal organs, meridians, and spiritual energy completely depleted, relying solely on the power of the Sacred Fire Altar to continue fighting. Now that the Sacred Fire Altar is gone, their source of power has been completely severed.

Then, as if all their strength had been drained in an instant, the two hundred-plus people collapsed to the ground with a "whoosh".

Many people died instantly, while others collapsed on the ground, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the people of Tianhaimen surrounded them.

The Tianhaimen and Jiang family members, who were fleeing in panic, originally thought they would fight to the death this time, but unexpectedly the situation suddenly reversed, and their opponents instantly lost their ability to move, leaving them at the mercy of others.

Seeing this, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He stroked his chin and thought to himself, "It seems that the Holy Fire Sect is not difficult to deal with. All we need to do is destroy their Holy Fire Altar."

However, the power of this sacred fire altar did indeed exceed his expectations.

The last time I obtained the Sacred Fire Altar, it only required 200,000 spirit stones to purify it, and I obtained 1% of the Immortal Artifact fragments.

This time, it actually requires 1.8 million spirit stones to purify it, and only then will you get 9% of the immortal artifact fragments. That means I've already obtained 10% of the immortal artifact fragments!

Soon, cheers of relief erupted from the canyon.

"We won! We really won!"

"The Holy Fire Cult has suddenly become so weak! It's unbelievable!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen Yang is truly amazing! He actually managed to take care of the Sacred Flame Altar!"

"Holy crap! Just who is Chen Yang? What kind of cultivation technique does he practice? How could he possibly destroy the Holy Flame Sect's altar? Wasn't it said that unless a Golden Core cultivator intervened, the Holy Flame Altar would never go out?"

The disciples all stared at Chen Yang in astonishment, their eyes filled with gratitude and deep surprise.

At this moment, they felt no envy, jealousy, or hatred towards Chen Yang; they only knew that this inner disciple of Talisman Peak was incredibly strong.

He was able to survive this time and kill more than 700 Holy Fire Cult disciples, all thanks to him!

Hu Hai was deeply shocked. Although he was blind, his mind was still sharp. He never imagined that Chen Yang could do this!

He hurriedly flew towards Chen Yang, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with utmost respect, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are indeed incredibly strong! The rest of the journey will be under your command. I am truly impressed!"

Chen Yang just laughed and then said to everyone, "Everyone, there is something I need your help with."

Upon hearing this, the disciples below immediately gathered around, looking at him with eager eyes.

Chen Yang coughed slightly and said with a hint of embarrassment, "It's like this, whether it's the corpses of Ma Wei and his men, or the corpses of these Holy Fire Cult disciples, their storage rings are still there. Could you please collect all the storage rings and hand them over to me for safekeeping?"

He quickly added, "I don't intend to keep these storage rings for myself. I simply want to hand them over to my master, Sect Leader Gao Rushi. Also, I want to search them to see if there are any useful materials or information inside, so that we can strengthen our Tianhai Sect. I truly have no selfish intentions!"

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, the disciples below immediately responded in unison:

"Of course! Senior Brother Chen, please wait a moment, we'll get started now!"

"Yes! We'll go clean out the storage rings right away and leave them all to you for safekeeping!"

"Rest assured, we will monitor each other. Anyone who dares to conceal a storage ring will be dealt with according to the sect's strictest regulations!"

Hu Hai then turned to the crowd and spoke in a serious tone: "Now, everyone, please clean up the battlefield. No one is allowed to conceal enemy items! Anyone found doing so will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect without exception! Everyone should supervise each other, and the elders and I will also be supervising the entire process!"

The group immediately sprang into action, methodically clearing the battlefield and collecting storage rings.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, he was still a little embarrassed, but seeing that no one had any objections, he felt at ease.

This harvest is sure to be quite bountiful!

Sure enough, many hands make light work. In just a few minutes, a total of nine hundred storage rings were piled up around Chen Yang.

There were storage rings belonging to the elders of Ma Weihong Valley, as well as those belonging to Zhou Hanshan and the disciples of the Holy Fire Sect. The sheer number of them dazzled Chen Yang.

Chen Yang gathered the storage rings together, chuckled, and could barely contain his smile.

However, Chen Yang certainly wouldn't take inventory in front of these disciples. He quickly put away all the storage rings and was about to start arranging the next itinerary when suddenly three loud "bang bang bang" sounds came from afar!

Immediately afterwards, three pine tree-shaped fireworks burst into the sky, standing out against the gray sky.

Chen Yang looked at the fireworks, his brows furrowing slightly, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

An elder nearby paled and exclaimed, "This is bad! This is a distress signal from the White Pine Sect! And they've sent out three distress signals, which means the situation is extremely critical! What should we do? Elder Hu, what do we do now?"

Everyone instinctively looked at Hu Hai, but Hu Hai was blind and unable to judge the situation.

At this moment, Hu Hai turned to Chen Yang and said firmly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, as I said, the rest of the operation will be under your command. The White Pine Sect is facing an emergency; you are in charge of making the decisions. Whatever decision you make, we will follow it!"

Chen Yang frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Logically speaking, the greatest danger in this rift should be the Holy Fire Cult.

But they had just dealt with more than 700 Holy Fire Sect disciples. Logically speaking, the White Pine Sect should be quite safe. Even if they encountered some alien creatures, they could easily eliminate them. How could they suddenly encounter such a critical situation?

As Chen Yang pondered, Hu Hai, unable to see his expression, noticed his lack of response and assumed he didn't want to go to the rescue. Feeling a pang of pity, Hu Hai advised, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I know you have some past grievances with Elder Feng Tingting, but the relationship between Bai Song Sect and our Tianhai Sect has always been good. Moreover, we are all fellow Daoists of the Wanxian Dynasty. If we can help, we should."

He quickly added, "Of course, we'll follow Fellow Daoist Chen's instructions! After all, protecting the lives of our sect's disciples is the most important thing!"

Hearing Hu Hai's words, Chen Yang couldn't help but smile. He knew Hu Hai thought he was petty. He immediately said, "Of course we should go and see! But as Elder Hu said, the lives of our sect's disciples are the most important. Therefore, I will take fifty elders at the Divine Power Realm and one hundred disciples at the Great Perfection Realm to scout ahead. If the situation is critical but we can handle it, we will intervene to help; if the situation is beyond our capabilities and will implicate us, then we will retreat immediately!"

Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, "Okay! We'll do as Fellow Daoist Chen says!"

Soon, Chen Yang, along with fifty cultivators at the Divine Power Realm and one hundred disciples at the Great Perfection Realm, flashed and flew swiftly towards the direction where the fireworks were blooming.

Ten minutes later, the group rushed to their destination.

Before me stretched a vast, boundless black desert, with undulating dunes and sand as black as ink, emitting a faint, fishy stench.

At this moment, the desert had become like a living hell.

The bodies of more than two hundred White Pine Sect disciples were buried in the black desert, leaving only mangled remains, a gruesome sight.

The remaining hundred or so White Pine Sect disciples were all covered in wounds, their energy was low, and they were exhausted from fighting. They were clearly at their limit.

Opposite them stood more than three hundred disciples of the Holy Fire Sect!

These people all exuded a fierce aura, their bodies enveloped in a blood-red halo. And hovering in the air was a sacred fire altar, its crimson flames churning and raging!
