Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Ji Xuanling also fell to the ground, but unlike Xuan Tianyi, he did not bear the overwhelming pressure that surpassed a Loose Immortal. After landing, he only staggered a few steps.

He quickly raised his eyes to look, his gaze locked on the mysterious figure in front of Xuan Tianyi.

It was a figure shining with a strong light, and he recognized the identity of the other person at a glance.

"Cave Master!" Ji Xuanling exclaimed in surprise.

The Cave Master of Six Stars Cave, Divine Soul True Lord!

The Divine Soul True Lord stood tall, draped in a wide, black robe, with white clothes cinched with gold thread underneath, and a jade-adorned green silk belt. His black hair was coiled with three small swords. His expression was cold, and he looked down at the seated Xuan Tianyi with eyes so frigid they seemed to freeze time.

The illusion in the sky mirrored Xuan Tianyi's figure while also reflecting the image of the Divine Soul True Lord, allowing everyone in the world to see his true appearance.

Even the most esteemed Great Cultivators instinctively revered the Divine Soul True Lord at first sight.

Just by standing there, the Divine Soul True Lord exuded an invincible aura!

The people of the world were even more encouraged. The invincible Evil Demon cowered before the Divine Soul True Lord, all his previously established terrifying aura completely gone, now appearing so weak.

Xuan Tianyi did not want to stand up, but he simply could not!

The gap between a Loose Immortal and a Wandering Immortal was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud!

Xuan Tianyi looked at the Divine Soul True Lord in terror, a look of pleading in his eyes.

Thousands of miles away.

An Hao looked at the illusion in the sky showing the Divine Soul True Lord and panicked immediately.

Under his watchful gaze, the Divine Soul True Lord raised his right hand, and his imposing voice echoed across the entire continent:

"Today, I, the True Lord, will execute the demon for the sake of all living beings!"

His voice, akin to a god's, reverberated with rolling thunder.

"No—" An Hao shouted with all his might, immediately wanting to leap up to intervene.

Almost instantly, he felt a tap on his shoulder, causing all his Spiritual Power to dissipate, rendering him unable to fly up.

Zhang Buku, Li Ya, and many disciples of the Supreme Sect glimpsed a shadow so fast they thought it was a hallucination.

After speaking, the Divine Soul True Lord prepared to finish Xuan Tianyi with a single palm strike.

Ji Xuanling's face changed drastically as he opened his mouth to plead.

Smack!

Suddenly, a hand pressed down on the Divine Soul True Lord's shoulder, dispersing the bright light on him, altering his expression and halting his right palm.

Xuan Tianyi also saw someone suddenly appear behind the Divine Soul True Lord, his expression changing dramatically as he struggled visibly.

Ji Xuanling gaped in shock, staring at the person behind the Divine Soul True Lord.

At this moment, all living beings saw the person behind the Divine Soul True Lord in the sky.

In the Third Medicine Valley.

Lu Lingjun pushed open the door, just in time to see the illusion in the sky, her expression changing accordingly.

Outer Gate City, Heavenly Repair Platform.

Standing beside the Heaven-Cutting Axe, Zuo Yijian looked up at the sky and murmured, "Sword Venerable Fudao..."

In the distance, Di Xie also recognized the mysterious figure, growing nervous immediately.

Sword Venerable Fudao was going to confront the Seven Stars Spirit Realm's expert?

An Hao, upon seeing Sword Venerable Fudao's figure, became excited, clenching his fists tightly.

He thought it was his master who finally came to help him out of reluctance.

Li Ya also became excited, the patriarch had actually come!

Zhang Buku was simply curious about who had suddenly arrived.

Lv Baitian, looking at the sky, visibly sighed in relief.

The leaders of other sects were stunned, not understanding why Sword Venerable Fudao had intervened.

In the illusion in the sky, the Divine Soul True Lord slowly lowered his right hand, glancing back and asking, "Could it be that you are the Sword Venerable Fudao who recently made a name for himself throughout the land?"

Behind him stood a demonic shadow, shrouded in dark purple demonic qi, mysterious and ominous.

Gu An suddenly pulled him behind and then stepped forward.

The Divine Soul True Lord's expression changed dramatically, and his body involuntarily recoiled.

Gu An stepped forward to stand before Xuan Tianyi, extending his right hand, pointing two fingers at Xuan Tianyi's forehead.

The magic of Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal erupted, forcibly expelling the Demon Soul from Xuan Tianyi's body, dispersing the demonic qi, making Xuan Tianyi grimace in pain.

This scene shocked everyone in the world.

This wasn't the Evil Demon?

Everyone saw a demonic shadow emerge from Xuan Tianyi, identical to his form.

Before the Evil Demon could resist, Gu An's right hand opened, swiftly grabbing it and capturing it in his palm.

The demonic pressure that shrouded the continent disappeared instantly, leaving everyone feeling inexplicably relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their hearts.

"You..."

The Divine Soul True Lord was enraged. As the Cave Master of Six Stars Cave, he naturally knew the Evil Demon's true origin. Though not personally leading it, he had allowed it.

Sword Venerable Fudao was slapping him in the face!

Gu An turned and stood side-on to the Divine Soul True Lord.

Xuan Tianyi spat out blood, collapsing forward, his forehead landing on Gu An's thigh. Before closing his eyes, he weakly uttered, "Fudao..."

He collapsed by Gu An's leg, his consciousness plunging into darkness.

Sword Venerable Fudao made no sound, allowing him to lie there, calmly staring at the Divine Soul True Lord.

The people of the world held their breaths. Everyone could feel the standoff between the Divine Soul True Lord and Sword Venerable Fudao, recognizing that Sword Venerable Fudao had come to save the one possessed by the Evil Demon.

No!

More accurately, to save the one possessed by the Evil Demon!

The world fell silent. Even the Great Cultivators near Demon Land were incredibly tense, not daring to breathe loudly.

Blood Prison Great Saint, lying on the ground, looked at Gu An's figure, eyes full of admiration.

Such domination!

Without saying a word, everyone could feel his strong intent!

Blood Prison Great Saint suddenly felt his past self was incredibly weak. Always boasting, but compared to the Great Cultivator of the Upper Realm, his spirit fell short by miles.

Not just him, everyone else felt the Divine Soul True Lord had fallen to a lower position.

This mysterious figure effortlessly pulled the Divine Soul True Lord away and scared him into inaction. Their abilities were clearly unmatched!

Ji Xuanling, closest to them, was utterly shocked.

He knew better than anyone the power of the Divine Soul True Lord. In the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, centered around Six Stars Cave, the Divine Soul True Lord was as divine as an Immortal to them, representing the continent's strongest being.

Such an existence was easily pulled away by Sword Venerable Fudao?

Ji Xuanling finally understood why the Seven Stars Spirit Realm had suddenly changed their mind and decided to come forth to save the people. They feared Sword Venerable Fudao and wanted to restore their image!

The Divine Soul True Lord's face was extremely grim, caught in an inner struggle between choices.

He had intended to use the anomaly of this Innate Five Elements Divine Thunder Tribulation to showcase his grand and heroic image of saving all living beings. But now, he found himself in a difficult position.

If he acted, he couldn't be sure of winning, plus what would the world think of him?

If he didn't act, how would the world view the Seven Stars Spirit Realm?

"Who exactly are you? Do not say you're from the Supreme Sect. This land could not possibly spawn someone as powerful as you!"

The Divine Soul True Lord asked solemnly, this time, not letting his voice echo across the continent, only audible to himself, Gu An, and Ji Xuanling.

Gu An did not answer him but raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at his face.

Somehow, facing Gu An's fingertip, the Divine Soul True Lord felt fear.

Too overbearing!

The other party didn't want to converse, only conveying one message, for him to back off!

Otherwise...

The Divine Soul True Lord realized that, given the unmatched power of the other party, he might very well die.

He was, after all, a Wandering Immortal. Not only on this continent but across the nearby sea areas, his cultivation level was among the top!

In an instant, many thoughts crossed the Divine Soul True Lord's mind.

Finally, he coldly snorted, flicked his sleeves, and disappeared within a few steps.

He left gracefully, yet in the people's eyes, it was a stance of fear, no matter how upright his posture was.

The reason Gu An didn't kill the Divine Soul True Lord was that the world was watching, and a public execution would not be good. Firstly, because the Seven Stars Spirit Realm was a Holy Land here to save the world, and secondly, to avoid drawing other Great Cultivators from the Star Caves.

However, sometimes, not killing had a greater deterrent effect than killing!

Not killing could both instill fear and leave room for the opponent to fantasize.

Killing meant a never-ending vendetta!

Gu An looked up. The celestial might was dispersing. With the Evil Demon gone and unable to cross the tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation naturally couldn't continue.

He then vanished from the spot.

Xuan Tianyi, leaning against Gu An's leg, fell forward, and Ji Xuanling appeared out of thin air, catching him before his forehead hit the ground.

Seeing this, Lv Baitian immediately called for Supreme Sect disciples to follow him to rescue.

Over ten thousand Supreme Sect cultivators flew up all at once, fearless, every one of them with excitement written on their faces.

With Sword Venerable Fudao present, what did they have to fear?

Leaders from other sects exchanged glances. The situation had exceeded their expectations, too much information challenging their understanding.

Liang Canghai took a deep breath and said, "The three dynasties advance and retreat together!"

With that, he immediately flew towards Cangtian Sect.

Other sect leaders snapped out of it and went to give orders.

Winning over Sword Venerable Fudao had become their most important task in years. The recent confrontation only solidified this belief.

Sword Venerable Fudao turned out to be stronger than the Holy Land!

...

In the Third Medicine Valley, Lu Lingjun watched as the illusions in the sky gradually dispersed, pulling her thoughts back to reality.

Instinctively, she wanted to find Gu An to discuss her observations from the battle but realized his presence was not in the valley.

She unconsciously scanned Mystic Valley with her Divine Sense, finding Gu An among the mountain woods nearby, inspecting medicinal herbs, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She showed a helpless smile.

Such a great spectacle ignored, all he worried about were his plants.

Truly hopeless!

Elsewhere.

In the Inner Sect City, Ji Xiaoyu stood on the eaves, glancing up at the sky. Even as the illusion started to fade, she did not avert her gaze.

She hadn't seen the Divine Soul True Lord before but could feel his high status within the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

Such a powerful being was forced to retreat by Sword Venerable Fudao.

Her eyes filled with complexity.

Sword Venerable Fudao, who exactly are you?

After this battle, she guessed the Seven Stars Spirit Realm would have to humble themselves. Before Sword Venerable Fudao came along, the Seven Stars Spirit Realm wouldn't dare to commit blatant evil, let alone now.

However, the Seven Stars Spirit Realm would surely frantically investigate Sword Venerable Fudao, and the Ji Family from the Supreme Sect would become their tool.

"Patriarch, was this outcome within your expectation?"

Ji Xiaoyu's lips curled into a smile as she turned to leave. Just as she turned, the Inner Sect City erupted in thunderous cheers.

One city was but a microcosm of the world!

The entire world erupted into a feverish celebration!
