"Hahahaha!" The group of demonic cultivators couldn't help but burst into laughter, their voices echoing across the mountain.
"Hahahaha, he, he actually asked us to give him face! Hahaha! What a joke!"
"A sect without a single Golden Core cultivator, and their Holy Son actually asked us to give him face! Hahaha, that's hilarious! Does he think he's soone important?"
Seeing their laughter, Xu Ning sighed dramatically, shaking his head. "You have a path to heaven but you refuse to take it. You have no gate to hell but you insist on trespassing. Then don't bla for what happens next!"
The demonic cultivators laughed even louder, pointing at him.
Xu Ning didn't waste any words. He suddenly raised his hand without warning.
Instantly, spiritual-level fluctuations erupted in the sky, forming multiple transparent light screens that shimred with power.
Then, Xu Ning pointed downward.
From two of the light screens, beams of red light shot out, numbering as many as seventy or eighty, streaking toward the demonic cultivators.
The demonic cultivators looked up and were all shocked for a mont, but then quickly cald down, their arrogance returning.
"A re attack formation, you think you can hurt us? We've faced far worse."
After saying that, a group of demonic cultivators simultaneously unleashed their terrifying blood energy. Weapons appeared in their hands, and they launched an attack upward to counter the barrage.
Rumble—
Rumble—
Dozens of red beams of light struck in an instant, all hitting the group of demonic cultivators simultaneously. The explosion was deafening.
Before the dust settled, Xu Ning raised his hand again, activating the attack formation once more without pause.
More beams of red light shot out, directly striking the location of the demonic cultivators.
Xu Ning didn't stop. He raised his hand again and again, bombarding them seven or eight tis before finally halting, his expression calm.
When the dust cleared, the demonic cultivators were nowhere to be seen. Only so blood mist and scattered debris remained floating in the air.
The holy sons and daughters below watched, their lips twitching, inwardly cursing, "Too violent! They didn't stand a chance."
Soone was about to speak when they suddenly fell silent, their eyes widening.
Because at that mont, Xu Ning suddenly made a hand seal and then flew up into the air.
That's right, he flew, relying on the spiritual energy accumulated from several formations, combined with his powerful divine sense, to hover above the battlefield.
Imdiately afterward, a terrifying surge of blood energy erupted from Xu Ning's body, directly enveloping the remaining blood mist.
The holy sons and daughters were all dumbfounded by this sight. They stared in shock.
After a long while, soone finally reacted, shouting, "Saint Ye is also a demonic cultivator! Look at that blood energy!"
"The Holy Son of Tiancheng Sect is actually a hidden demonic cultivator. He must be eliminated! We can't trust him!"
Lan Chenliang was the first to sense sothing was wrong and quickly spoke up, his voice urgent. "Everyone, look carefully. Saint Ye isn't using demonic energy. It's pure blood energy. It's different."
Miao Qingrou nodded slowly, her eyes analytical. "That's right. Didn't you feel that the blood energy he used was like righteous energy? It's not corrupt at all."
After listening carefully, the others imdiately sensed it as well. The blood energy was clean, pure.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from . Please report it.
"What's going on? Why is his blood energy so pure?" soone couldn't help but ask, confused.
Yao ngya speculated, "Could it be? Is this the correct way to cultivate blood energy? The original thod?"
Qi Ruifeng nodded at this mont, stepping forward. "That's right. My Tiancheng Sect does indeed have the Blood Demon Technique inheritance passed down from ancient tis, but it needs to be combined with body-refining techniques to train the body and improve blood energy, and then use one's own pure blood energy to cultivate. It's not demonic cultivation."
Although he said this confidently, Qi Ruifeng was still very shocked at this mont. This was the first ti he had known that this cheap disciple had actually cultivated blood energy without telling him.
It has to be said that this cheap disciple was really hiding it well, and who knows what other secrets he was hiding!
At this mont, as Xu Ning's blood energy enveloped the area, the Soul Refining Technique was instantly activated, his hands forming complex seals.
The blood mist that remained in place suddenly condensed into the forms of the demonic cultivators, who then began to struggle in agony, their souls trapped! They roared in terror,
"This is the Soul Refining Technique! You're a demonic cultivator too! How do you know this?"
Xu Ning smiled serenely from above. "I cultivate righteous qi. Don't make baseless accusations. This is a purification technique."
As Xu Ning's Soul Refining Technique continued to activate, the demonic cultivators' pain intensified, and they couldn't help but roar in desperation, "Can't you kill us first before using the Soul Refining Technique? This is torture!"
Xu Ning shrugged. "If you hadn't revealed yourselves before, I couldn't have killed you cleanly. Just bear with it a little longer. It will be over soon."
With that, he suddenly increased the output of his blood energy, flooding the area with power.
Bang bang bang—
Finally, the demonic cultivators' souls exploded instantly from the pressure, leaving only pure, refined soul energy floating in the air.
Xu Ning patted his storage bag, and a Myriad Soul Banner, radiating righteous qi, flew out and appeared above his head, its aura pure.
The group of holy sons and daughters below widened their eyes in astonishnt, their jaws dropping.
"Is that the Myriad Souls Banner? Sothing feels off. It's not what I expected."
"It looks like it, but why is it radiating righteous energy? That's impossible."
Lan Chenliang observed closely. "It is indeed the Myriad Souls Banner in form, but perhaps because Saint Ye's cultivation blood and qi are too pure, it hasn't been tainted by demonic energy. It's been purified."
The group of saints couldn't help but exchange glances, but couldn't co up with an answer for a long ti, their minds reeling.
At this mont, Xu Ning in the sky raised his hand and pointed, and all the refined soul energy was absorbed into the Myriad Souls Banner, which pulsed with light.
Xu Ning put away the Myriad Souls Banner, then turned to look at the saints below and said softly, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. This is the Human Emperor Banner. As you can see, it radiates righteous energy. Nothing demonic about it."
The group of saints below stared wide-eyed, thinking, Is that really true? Can you just rena it like that?
In any case, what they saw today had completely overturned their understanding of cultivation and demonic arts.
Xu Ning spoke again, his tone apologetic. "Today is the grand ceremony of my Tiancheng Sect, yet this unexpected incident has occurred. I apologize to everyone for the disturbance. It was not our intention."
"If you are still worried about the danger, you may leave now. If you wish to stay, the Tiancheng Sect will guarantee your safety. You have my word."
As he spoke, Xu Ning landed back on the ground gracefully.
"Holy Son Ye, I will take my leave now," Lu Yufan said first, bowing politely.
Xu Ning nodded in agreent. "Holy Son Lu, please take care on your journey. Safe travels."
Then, the other holy sons also took their leave, one by one.
They wanted to report what they had seen today to their sect leaders. It was important information.
Xu Ning didn't stop them. He opened the formation to let them leave freely.
In the end, almost all the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters chose to leave, their minds buzzing.
Xu Ning then called out to Lan Chenliang, who had lingered. "Brother Lan, would you like to stay and chat? I have so questions."
Lan Chenliang nodded in agreent and followed Xu Ning to Holy Son Peak, looking thoughtful.
After sitting down, Xu Ning asked directly, "Brother Lan, have you encountered any difficulties recently? You seem troubled."
Lan Chenliang was surprised, then a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. He hesitated.
Xu Ning sighed upon seeing this. "I thought Lan Chenliang was unaware of his own condition, but now it seems Brother Lan was aware all along. You know sothing is wrong."
Lan Chenliang asked in confusion, "How did Brother Ye figure that out? I haven't told anyone."
Xu Ning replied, "I guess it was a feeling. I don't know the specifics of your situation. I was just asking out of curiosity. You don't have to share if you don't want to."
Lan Chenliang finally sighed, his shoulders slumping. "Brother Ye, I won't hide it from you anymore. My Dao foundation is damaged. My body can no longer withstand my cultivation. I probably won't live much longer. It's only a matter of ti."
Xu Ning was surprised, leaning forward. "Damaged Dao foundation? How did that happen?"
Lan Chenliang explained, "That's right. I entered a secret realm so years ago and was injured by a demonic soul within. At the ti, it might not have seed like much, but as ti goes by, the pressure from my cultivation will gradually overwhelm my body, eventually causing it to collapse. There's no cure."
Xu Ning exclaid in surprise, his eyes sharpening. "What did you just say? A demonic soul? That attacked you?"
Lan Chenliang nodded, confused by the reaction. "That's right. A demonic soul is a terrifying existence sowhere between a soul and a demon. Their attacks can cause irreversible damage to a cultivator's Dao foundation. They are feared for a reason."
Xu Ning nodded slowly in realization. Co to think of it, he had been raising a demonic soul all this ti, Kang Xingyao, yet he hadn't even known its true nature or power.
Out of curiosity, Xu Ning asked again, "Is there any way to repair the damage? Can it be healed?"
