How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

The Yunwu Mountain Range, stretching for thousands of miles, is shrouded in fog all year round.

The mountain mist made this place exceptionally damp, as if carrying wisps of chilling, sinister energy, making it a place rarely visited by ordinary cultivators. Moreover, the dense fog obstructed their vision, and their divine sense was also affected, limiting their ability to probe even a small area. No wonder the Ghostly Soul Cult hid its lair here.

Several figures arrived at this place, stopped, and looked around.

Chen Daoxuan sorted through the memories he had obtained from the soul of the Mountain-Penetrating Lord. After a moment, he turned to Su Qingruo and said, "Senior Sister Qingruo, according to the Mountain-Penetrating Lord's memories, the headquarters of the Ghost Soul Sect is near this mountain range. However, the thick fog here can interfere with the detection of divine sense. If we want to find the exact location of the Ghost Soul Sect's headquarters, it will probably take some time."

The group had just carefully surveyed the surrounding mountains and forests, noticing a faint, chilling demonic aura emanating from the air.

Just as everyone was searching for a way to investigate, a clear and slightly mischievous voice rang out.

The one speaking was Jin Xiao, perched on Xiao Ningyun's shoulder. The little guy looked at the five people with serious expressions, his tone full of teasing:

"Why are you all so slow and inefficient? Why go to such lengths to find something so trivial!"

"With our combined divine senses as Great Emperors, Hou-ge and I could scan the entire mountain range in an instant. Or, if your Junior Sister were to take a look, no illusion in the world could escape her eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Daoxuan, Su Qingruo, and the others were stunned. The five of them looked at each other and realized that they were really stupid.

They completely forgot that the three little guys in the team were the real big shots. The two emperors could solve the problem with a mere thought, and there was also the junior sister's double pupils. Why did they need to bother looking for them?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Jinxiao swayed his body triumphantly.

The next instant, it soared into the sky from Xiao Ningyun's shoulder and hovered steadily in mid-air.

In the next instant, the vast divine sense of the Great Emperor surged forth like a tidal wave!

In an instant, every blade of grass, every cave, every aura, and every hidden formation in the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range was clearly reflected into Jin Xiao's perception.

In just a moment, Jinxiao sensed the dense, sinister demonic energy deep within the mountains.

Its childish voice carried a hint of amusement: "Found them! These little devils, hiding their heads and tails, are quite well hidden; they've even concealed their headquarters in a cave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinxiao landed back on Xiao Ningyun's shoulder.

Xiao Ningyun was very anxious and quickly turned her head to ask, "Jinxiao, how is it? Have you found the location of the Ghostly Cult?"

"Don't worry, I'll handle this with ease!"

Jinxiao flapped its tiny wings and said haughtily, "Their lair is hidden in a cave not far ahead. Just follow me!"

After saying that, Jinxiao transformed into a fiery red figure and led the way.

Seeing this, the others immediately followed.

In no time at all, Su Qingruo and her group arrived at the outer perimeter of the Ghost Soul Sect.

Upon entering this area, one immediately senses that the demonic energy here has suddenly become dozens of times denser.

Looking around, at the entrance of the Ghostly Cult cave, there were only a few simple huts, and more than a dozen Ghostly Cult disciples were scanning the surroundings, not allowing anyone to approach.

Han Bingli's soul power condensed slightly, and the Emperor Soul Mark between her brows quietly lit up. Her vast Emperor Realm soul power quietly spread out, probing the aura of the entire valley.

After a moment, she slowly withdrew her divine sense, her tone tinged with confusion: "The demonic energy here is dense and inexhaustible; it could not have been created by a man-made array."

Her gaze fell upon the entrance to the Ghostly Soul Sect's cave, and she continued in a deep voice, "I just sensed it, and the Ghostly Soul Sect is merely a second-rate evil cultivation sect. The sect leader, elders, and disciples have shallow cultivation levels and absolutely no ability to create such dense demonic energy. There's something strange about the underground of this place. I'm ninety percent certain that the white mist throughout the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range is created by the yin energy and demonic energy here."

As soon as Han Bingli finished speaking, Xiao Ningyun, who was standing to the side, perked up instantly.

She raised her eyes slightly, and her bright eyes instantly changed, her ancient double pupils suddenly activated!

In an instant, terrifying power of law emanated from her young eyes.

"Double eyes break the delusion!"

What appears to be an ordinary world to others is revealed to Xiao Ningyun through her double pupils—nothing can escape her notice!

The white mist in the air was not ordinary mountain clouds and smoke, but rather a product of malevolent energy. The swirling, dark demonic energy was not scattered air currents, but rather billions of dark demonic threads crisscrossing like a dense spider web, continuously converging from the depths of the earth.

Xiao Ningyun lowered her head slightly, her pupils piercing through layers of soil and rocks, ignoring all physical barriers, and probing deep into the earth!

Beneath the ground, there were no demons, only an endless expanse of bones, densely packed and piled up to form a massive mountain of bones.

These skeletons were covered with dark demonic patterns, indicating that these beings were demons in life.

This enormous mountain of bones underground, like the inexhaustible core of a demonic abyss, constantly spews forth boundless, malevolent energy. This endless malevolent energy seeps through the cracks to the surface, transforming into the white mist and demonic energy of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

After a moment, Xiao Ningyun gently closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her innocent little face was still adorable, but her terrifying double pupils had returned to clear, large eyes.

Looking at the people around her, Xiao Ningyun chuckled and said, "Underground, there are countless skeletons of demons buried, but these demons look like they've been dead for a long time."

"The source of the thick fog and demonic energy here is the bones of these demons."

Hearing Xiao Ningyun's words, everyone present was shocked.

"Boundless demonic bones? How come there are so many demonic bones here?" Han Bingli murmured to herself.

Only Su Qingruo seemed to remember something and spoke up: "Senior Sister Bingli, there's something I'm not sure about, but I suspect it's related to this matter."

"Oh! What is it? Tell me," Han Bingli replied softly.

After organizing her thoughts, Su Qingruo slowly said, "Everyone knows Elder Nangong Yuan of Wenjian Peak, right? Actually, he wasn't an elder of our Wanfa Sect at first. He came from the ancient sect Lingyun Sword Sect. When Senior Brother Ning Tian and I went to the secret realm for training, we brought Elder Nangong Yuan out of the secret realm. He was later resurrected by the sect leader."

"Elder Nangong Yuan told me something. The main reason for the destruction of Lingyun Sword Sect was that 100,000 years ago, demonic cultivators from the Demon Realm entered the Eastern Region through a spatial passage. At that time, the entire Eastern Region was littered with corpses. Later, the entire Xuanhuang Continent united to resist the demons. Elder Nangong Yuan said that in this battle, three Demon Emperors and three Great Emperors of the human race died. He also fought until his physical body collapsed, leaving only a remnant soul. Therefore, I estimate that the demonic bones here are remnants from that battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone pondered what Su Qingruo had just said, and then they all nodded in agreement.

Han Bingli nodded slightly and said, "Junior Sister Qingruo, it is indeed very likely that this place is as you said, otherwise there would be no way to explain the origin of so many demon corpses."

"Alright! Stop talking, let's go avenge Junior Sister Qingruo!" Xiao Ningyun's words interrupted everyone's thoughts.
