Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"This is not a problem that can be solved in a few words."

“They probably already believe that we did all this,” Gu Xingzhuo calmly analyzed. “Moreover, judging from the current trend, that person named Zuo He seems to want us to become the public enemy of Xiandu.”

Lu Yingqiu's delicate body trembled slightly as she stood in front of Ning Xuchen, gritting her teeth as she said, "First it was the Demon Dynasty, and now it's the Immortal Capital... They really gave our Cloud Heaven Academy a lot of face... The two major forces that control the three heavenly domains are all targeting us."

Being targeted by both the Demon Dynasty and the Immortal Capital at the same time is probably unique in the entire Three Great Heavenly Domains.

Zuo He seemed to have anticipated this situation. He pointed to the already cold corpse of the Heavenly City Saint Immortal in front of him and said, "First you plotted to kill my Immortal Capital Saint Immortal, then you invaded the Azure Secret Realm, destroyed my Immortal Capital Lake Heart City, and even killed important officials in Lake Heart City. It seems that you have been planning this for a long time."

"Daring to oppose Xiandu, it seems they think Xiandu has no one to rely on."

Zuo He sneered, then turned to the side and looked at the grim-faced man beside him: "Vice City Lord Xu Ming, it's about time."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming immediately snorted coldly and suddenly pulled out a talisman from his hand.

At the same time, he shouted sharply: "Cultivators of the Immortal Capital, activate the talisman!"

The words fell.

Behind him, a hundred people simultaneously pulled out identical wooden amulets from their storage rings.

Xu Ming's spiritual energy surged forth, instantly pouring into the talisman: "Please use it!"

He finished speaking.

There was a click.

Xu Ming immediately crushed the talisman, and the scattered spiritual energy instantly condensed with the wood chips in the sky to form a unique array. In an instant, the other cultivators of the Immortal Capital also crushed their talismans, and arrays rained down from the sky.

hum~

A halo swept across the area.

Ye Yuchan and the others felt a sudden dizziness before their eyes, and their vision suddenly blurred. They saw layers of shimmering pure white lightning accompanied by a terrifying surge of spiritual energy.

From that magic array, hundreds of magical artifact lights first descended, followed by a figure formed by pure spiritual energy and magical artifacts, condensed from an unknown spiritual energy circulation law.

One after another, its body was made of black iron, its form of spiritual energy, and the laws flowing within it were the great attainments of a master hailed as immortal techniques!

Thousands upon thousands of figures clad in armor flew through the air.

"That is……"

Like armor operating on its own, the translucent body was composed of immortal techniques derived from spiritual energy, and even contained a trace of the Dao of Heaven. At a glance, even Ye Yuchan, who had extremely high comprehension, found it strange and incredible.

The armored figure glided through the air, without wings, yet relying on its unique magical powers, hovering in mid-air and looking down at Yunping and the others.

"The Celestial Generals of the Celestial Capital..." Jiang Yuetian struggled to his feet, supporting his frail body as he stared palely at the sky above. "Using the Celestial Capital's celestial techniques to infuse magical artifacts with a brief period of self-awareness—I thought such a miracle, almost like the creation of life, was just hearsay and boasting, but I never imagined that the Celestial Capital actually possessed such abilities..."

"Thirteen thousand forty-five celestial generals... all with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage..." Yuan'er's eyes turned blood red, her expression filled with furious anger: "They really think highly of us!"

Although most of the immortal generals were at the Nascent Soul stage, Ye Yuchan and the others were still able to spot at least twenty immortal generals who had reached the Void Transformation stage. Furthermore, due to their strange immortal techniques, even those who had only entered the Void Transformation stage would probably be no easier to deal with than those who had reached the peak of the Void Transformation stage.

Moreover, the opponent even has Zuo He, who possesses the Eye of Calamity—Zhang Ruoxue might not be a match for him.

The numbers were completely overwhelmed.

At this moment.

Inside the venue.

The black rain continued to pour down, but the 13,045 celestial generals had already completely surrounded Yunping and his group. Not only were they all around them, but their figures were also visible in the sky above.

Seeing this, Huang Luo, who had been crying his eyes out just a moment ago, couldn't help but grin and shouted into the crowd, "Defend the righteous path and avenge the Holy Immortal of Tiancheng!"

With those words, he gave this group of cultivators from the Immortal Capital the perfect reason.

Soon, others joined him in shouting.

"Exterminate the demons and uphold justice! Avenge the holy immortals!"

"Exterminate demons and defend the righteous path! Exterminate demons and defend the righteous path!"

His words, which shook the heavens, resounded throughout the entire hall.

The shouts of the cultivators in the Immortal Capital were as if they were about to give the Cloud Heaven Academy a trial.

……

In the rain.

The young man, unaffected by the black rain, listened to the words of the immortal cultivators, gazed at the falling darkness, and saw the countless immortal generals filling the sky, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Exorcising demons? Upholding righteousness?"

He stared at Zuo He, a rather gentle smile on his face: "You said I'm a demon, right?"

For some reason, that simple smile sent a chill down Zuo He's spine.

But he still put on an indifferent air and retorted sarcastically, "What? You don't want to admit it?"

"Do not."

To everyone's surprise.

Yunping shook his head.

laugh.

He was still smiling.

That smile was exactly like the smiles those people in Lake City had shown before.

"I am the demon."

……

This statement came out.

The entire room seemed to pause subtly for a moment.

No one expected Yunping to suddenly blurt out such a statement, admitting that he was the demon.

Zuo He's expression gradually calmed down; he seemed to realize that things were not so simple.

Yun Ping spread his hands and then asked, "I'd like to ask, have any of you ever seen a demon?"

"Demon? Of course I've seen them." Zuo He didn't understand what Yun Ping meant by asking this question, so he immediately sneered: "They are nothing more than evil cultivators who kill people, drink their blood, seize their souls, and refine blood pills to improve their own cultivation."

"Or they may be ancient ferocious beasts that take pleasure in bloodshed, or celestial demons born from the demonic path among the three thousand great paths. These are all demons."

"Really? Is that really the case?"

Yunping smiled knowingly, put his hands behind his back, and took a step forward.

It's just one step.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

A sudden gust of cold wind blew across Zuo He and the others' faces. Yun Ping took a step forward, and as if time had stood still, everything fell into a deathly silence.

He smiled slightly, a very calm smile.

"That's not a demon. What you saw were just people or beasts who had gone astray, not real demons."

"Killing doesn't automatically make you a demon, refining blood pills doesn't automatically make you a demon, stealing souls doesn't automatically make you a demon, and following the demonic path doesn't automatically make you a demon..."

Yunping walked step by step, slowly heading towards Zuo He.

Zuo He almost instinctively took a step back, cold sweat gradually forming on his forehead: "What are you talking about?!"

"The nature of demons is inherently rebellious; it is not against the heavens, but against myself."

"To struggle with Heaven is endlessly joyful, to struggle with man is also endlessly joyful, but to struggle with oneself... though there is no joy, it is endlessly joyful."

"The one who reverses human nature is the demon. The one who reverses life and death is the demon. The one who reverses desires and instincts is the demon."

"The demons turn pain into pleasure, bitterness into sweetness, and humanity into soil and the Great Way into fallen leaves."

“I have seen a real demon, which is the complete opposite of a true immortal, like the other side of a true immortal.”

"Unfortunately, I was once a demon myself, a real demon."

"If I want, I can be a fairy or a demon. My coin can stand upright, and whether it's heads or tails, it only takes a gentle push."

Yunping stopped in his tracks.

Before he knew it, he was already standing in front of Zuo He.

Just standing there.

Zuo He trembled violently, and at the same time, his Eye of Calamity, which symbolized the demonic pillar beneath the Demon Slayer during the ancient primordial era, began to ache faintly.

The man before me had ordinary eyes, yet they seemed more terrifying than any other eyes.

"Whether it's the Immortal Capital or the Demon Dynasty."

"It's all the same to me."

As Yunping spoke, a rich spiritual energy suddenly began to emanate from his palm.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, this wisp of spiritual energy... was instantly draped in a black cloak, enveloped by scorching flames, and in the next instant...

boom!

What erupted was an overwhelming demonic aura!

"Want to take a look?"

Yunping asked.

His mouth stretched up to his ears.

That was a smile more terrifying than ever before... ever before!

It wasn't a gentle smile tinged with murderous intent, but a ferocious, horrifying grin that twisted the viewer as if they were falling into an abyss.

He raised his head, and a fierce blood-red light shone brightly in his dark obsidian eyes.

"What does a true demon look like...?"

"Want to take a look?"

54. Prepare for the worst.

Torrential rain.
