"Su He! Is it your turn to take action now?" Yang Yunfan said breathlessly, "Today I'm going to expose your hypocritical nature!"

Su He sneered, "Since you insist on doing this, then let's give it a try."

As the two drew closer, Su He suddenly closed his eyes.

Then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he silently recited the incantation in his mind.

"Red Lotus of Karmic Fire." As the whispered words rang out, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

A gigantic, colorful lotus illusion slowly rose from behind Suhe.

Fairy Zixiao stood at a distance, observing the changing situation. She clearly felt the oppressive aura emanating from Su He.

She knew that Yang Yunfan was no match for Su He, but for some reason, she didn't want to help Yang Yunfan out of his predicament. Instead, she was more concerned about the man she had only known for less than a month.

As expected, shortly after the appearance of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Yang Yunfan began to feel an invisible constraint enveloping his entire body.

He tried to struggle and resist, but the oppressive force was like a boulder that made him unable to move.

"What...what kind of power is this?" Yang Yunfan asked in a trembling voice.

"This is the pressure of a Saint Realm expert," Su Lun replied calmly. "You can't resist it with your current strength."

Fairy Zixiao immediately understood that Su He did not want to attack the other party's physical body, but rather wanted to disturb the other party's mind and damage their Dao heart.

The room had quieted down by then.

Several people who had previously supported Yang Yunfan and sympathized with him also began to support Su He, since in the Immortal Spirit Continent, strength is everything.

Finally, after struggling in vain, Yang Yunfan flew backward like a kite with a broken string and landed heavily on the ground.

When he struggled to his feet, he discovered that he had lost his cultivation.

"My cultivation level..." he murmured, his tone filled with disbelief and despair.

Seeing this, Fairy Zixiao stepped forward and said, "Yang Yunfan, things have come to this point, stop making a scene."

But at that moment, Su He transmitted his voice to Fairy Zixiao: "Come and talk to me later."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Zixiao nodded slightly and turned to look at Yang Yunfan, who was already in despair: "You need to reflect on your actions," she said softly.

Upon hearing Fairy Zixiao's cold and distant words, Yang Yunfan could no longer hold on and fainted due to emotional distress... All eyes were focused on Su He.

His move, the Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire, not only intimidated Yang Yunfan, but also made everyone realize that this person was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

The elders of Lingxiao Palace looked at each other and smiled. They thought to themselves: Fortunately, Su He is their ally. With Su He backing them up, Lingxiao Palace will no longer be bullied.

Yang Yunfan, who was unconscious, was sent to the Flame Cave by the enforcement team of Lingxiao Palace.

The Flame Cave is located at the deepest part of Lingxiao Palace, surrounded by rolling flames, and even the rock walls are red due to the high temperature.

It is said that this place was once the place where an ancient sage cultivated. Because that powerful being cultivated a strong fire-type technique for many years, the environment here was affected to the state it is now. This place is also the place where Lingxiao Palace used to punish its disciples.

For Yang Yunfan, who had lost his cultivation, being imprisoned here was tantamount to death.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the banquet hall returned to its lively state thanks to the mediation of Zishan and the elders.

The elders raised their glasses to Suhe in greeting and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist Suhe, please!" An elder who looked quite old stood up and raised a jade cup to toast Suhe.

"Your actions today are truly a blessing for my Lingxiao Palace! I've long suspected that Yang Yunfan was problematic; so young yet so reckless and arrogant, he deserves his current fate!"

Su He nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

He knew that although these elders were outwardly flattering, they all harbored their own ulterior motives.

Fairy Zixiao stood quietly to the side, not participating in the conversation.

She looked at Su He with complicated emotions, silently pondering the words Su He had just transmitted to her.

The banquet hall was brightly lit and filled with melodious singing, while inside the Flame Cave, Yang Yunfan lay alone on the rock.

He slowly awoke from his coma, feeling excruciating pain as if his body were being burned by flames.

When he tried to circulate the remaining spiritual energy in his body, he found it to be empty. Only then did he realize that his Dao heart had been destroyed by Su He and he had lost his cultivation.

"How could this be..." Yang Yunfan muttered to himself, "I actually..."

He struggled to sit up, searching for a way out in the inferno. Meanwhile, in the council hall of Lingxiao Palace, Yang Yunfan endured the pain as he searched for a way out.

A messenger disciple dressed in a gray robe with a jade pendant hanging from his waist rushed in, clutching a scroll made of special animal hide in his hand.

"Report!" the messenger shouted, interrupting everyone's conversation.

The council hall fell silent immediately, and all eyes turned to the messenger disciple.

Fairy Zixiao narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that this kind of talisman was usually only used to transmit messages in extremely urgent situations.

"Senior Suhe, the plan we've been working on on the battlefield between gods and demons for some time now has succeeded!" the messenger disciple said breathlessly. "Our combined army has successfully destroyed a key stronghold of the Heavenly Demons!"

Instantly, the crowd, who had been discussing the events of the previous night, fell silent.

They thought to themselves: Suhe has not only distinguished himself in Jianmen Mountain, but has also broken through the dangerous forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Demon Clan.

Zishan was the first to react. He stood up and bowed deeply to Su He: "Fellow Daoist Su He is truly a lucky star for us righteous sects!"

The other elders also stood up to show their respect.

Although they may not be entirely sincere, they can only temporarily suppress their calculations in the face of Su He's achievements.

Su He stood in the center of the hall, not feeling proud despite the praise from the crowd.

He remained calm: "The Heavenly Demon Clan is a powerful force. Although we have won this battle, the war is far from over. If we fail to take proper defensive measures, we will be finished if the Heavenly Demons launch a counterattack!"

He spoke slowly, "The newly captured Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land is rich in cultivation resources and has an excellent geographical location."

Su He continued, "I have decided to entrust this place to Jianmen Mountain and Lingxiao Palace for joint management."

Quiet discussions broke out again in the council hall.

Although Jianmen Mountain and Lingxiao Palace are allies, there is always some hidden competition between them.

Suhe's proposal to jointly manage the Forbidden Land of the Heavenly Demons is undoubtedly an attempt to further solidify the alliance between the two parties and to wisely allocate resources for future needs.

Fairy Zixiao nodded gently; in her view, this was a decision that was good for both parties.

Meanwhile, the other elders began to privately calculate what benefits this would bring them.

"In that case," Elder Zishan cleared his throat, "we need to immediately dispatch elite disciples to the forbidden area to conduct reconnaissance and establish defenses."
