Chapter 686: Battle Between Good and Evil
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Tian Ji, my Gui Yi Sect has never mistreated you. Why must you gather all of these fiendish cultivators to attack my sect!" Yu Luan could not help but ask in a pained voice. He really wanted to know the reason.
"Hmph!" Tian Ji tutted, as if he did not think there was anything inappropriate about what he was doing. Instead, he responded hatefully, "Yu Luan, now that things have come to this state, are you still trying to act like you're innocent in front of me? Do you think I really don't know that you've all developed negative feelings toward me right from the beginning? You've been calculating your every move each day, just to get rid of me. Didn't you invite all of these sword cultivators into the sect to force me out?" He shot Yi Qing a death glare.
"What are you talking about?!" Yu Luan looked at him with disbelief. He never thought about doing something like that. Why would Tian Ji think this way?
Tian Ji continued indignantly, "You forced me to do all of these things. Today, I'm here to seek justice. It's about time Gui Yi Sect faced what it deserves."
"You... You..." Yu Luan was so angered that he could not even speak. He did not think that Tian Ji would twist the facts to this point.
Lonemoon frowned. Indeed, people who had already gone off the path would find all sorts of reasons to support their own decisions. Even if the sect really was unhappy with Tian Ji like he said, nobody forced him to turn into a demon.
"Why should we continue with this nonsense?" Chef, who had been standing beside Lonemoon, immediately summoned his spirit sword upon noticing that it was time to cook. In a low voice, he shouted, "Let's go!" He was hurrying to cook. Why were they waiting around and not doing anything?
Tian Ji frowned. There was a moment of trepidation. He did not take Yi Qing on, but turned to wave at the people behind him instead. "Go! Take Gui Yi Sect down!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The eyes of the fiendish cultivators behind him brightened as they responded in unison. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time for this moment. Immediately, they rushed forward and puled out all sorts of dharmic weapons. There were so many of them that they seemed to cover the sky. Some fiendish cultivators flew ahead of the group, as if eager to be the first to claim credit.

The evil Qi belonging to these fiendish cultivators filled the entire Gui Yi Sect, causing the spirit Qi in the surroundings to dissipate. There looked to be hundreds of thousands of them, and there were quite a number of Nascent Soul cultivtors as well. In this regard, they definitely did not lose to Gui Yi Sect.
Yu Luan's chest tightened and he expereinced a moment of panic. He anxiously summoned his own dharmic weapon and rushed in front of the already gravely injured disciples. He shouted at the other disciples who were flying over, "Don't let the fiendish cultivators enter the sect! Follow me in conjuring the array!" He turned to look at Lonemoon. Perhaps he suddenly recalled that Tian Yi had just ascended to immortality. Yu Luan said, "Brother Lonemoon, follow me in conjuring the array as well."
"That's alright." Lonemoon tightened his grip around his fan and replied nonchalantly.
"Eh?" Yu Luan hesitated. He began to persuade Lonemoon again.
Suddenly, a huge burst of sord Qi appeared and overwhelmed them. It brought with it an irresistable power as it swept through the entire mountain. The impact caused even Yu Luan's legs to turn to jelly. It was only because he instinctively stabilised himself that he was not forced down to the ground
The fiendish cultivators in front, however, were a completely different matter. At first, they were charging toward Gui Yi Sect with full force. But now, they were falling to the ground like dumplings, fried in the air. The overwhelming sword Qi caused them to be pinned to the ground, unable to move. The ones who rushed ahead of the group were especially badly injured. With their heads buried several inches beneath the ground, they screamed out in pain.
Tian Ji himself was finding it difficult to stand straight. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Yi Qing in disbelief. "This... This is impossible!" They were all Soul Formation cultivators – why was Yi Qing's sword Qi so much more terrifying? In fact, it was so bad... so bad that even Tian Ji couldn't do anything about it
Yi Qing could not be bothered to respond to him. Instead, he flicked the sword in his hand and caused many more spirit swords to fill the sky. Soon, they dropped down toward the ground like rain. Each sword brought with it a strong sword wind, which itself acted like a thousand invisible swords. It was a full frontal attack on the fiendish cultivators.
The sound of pained cries filled the entire place. Those with slightly higher cultivation levels were doing slightly better. They managed to dodge some of the swords that came at them. The ones with lower cultivation levels, however, were not so lucky. They lay motionless on the ground, with at least one spirit sword through their bodies. The strong fiendish cultivator army was now reduced to half its size.
The fiendish cultivators aside, even Yu Luan had not fully taken in what just happened. He stared on, mouth agape, at the fiendish cultivators on the floor.
The various Mountain Masters arrived with more disciples in tow. They called out anxiously, "Sect Master, these fiendish cultivators are attacking..."
Before they could finish their sentence, they took in the terrifying scene in front of them.
Everyone: "..."
(⊙_⊙)
The battle against the fiendish cultivators had begun!
Oh!
The battle against the fiendish cultivators had ended...
This was the quickest battle they had ever witnessed.
Yi Qing was already walking toward Tian Ji. With each step he took, the surrounding sword Qi seemed to intensify. The number of dumplings on the ground was increasing steadily. Even the fiendish cultivators who were standing outside the entrance of the sect took the chance to run away. The people in demonic sects loved their own lives the most. Since they were the worst of mankind, they naturally were not too concerned with things like loyalty. What's more, the demonic sects had only been combined for a short period of time. Not many of them were truly loyal to Tian Ji.
Lonemoon followed Yi Qing and walked toward Tian Ji. He lifted up his hand and caused a ball of sword Qi to shoot straight into his dantian. Immediately, the spirit Qi in his body dissipated. All his meridians were locked. Then, Lonemoon picked Tian Ji up and dragged him back to where the rest of the disciples were standing. He threw Tian Ji at Yu Luan's feet and said, "It's up to you how you want to deal with him!" So troublesome!
Yu Luan stared blankly at Lonemoon, then hurriedly grabbed Tian Ji. As he looked down at the Supremacy that their sect's disciples were supposed to look up to, he felt conflicted. He recalled what Tian Ji had said and lowered his gaze.
Tian Ji, on the other hand, did not look at all regretful. As if having recalled something, he laughed out loud. "Hahaha, do you really think that Gui Yi Sect will be free from troubles just because of one Soul Formation sword cultivator?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"What do you mean?" Yu Luan stiffened, hearing the underlying meaning in Tian Ji's words.
"A sword culivator like him, whose source is uncertain, would only be accpted by a bunch of losers like you." The more he spoke, the louder his laughs became. "Do you really believe he will always be loya to Gui Yi Sect?"
"Tian Ji!" Before Yu Luan could say anyything, the Nascent Soul elders beside him spoke up. "You betrayed the sect f your own accord. Stop thinking that everybody else will be just like you!"
"Hmph!" Tian Ji tutted. He turned to Yi Qing with hate in his eyes. "If you had not invited this wolf in our midst to suppress my growth, I would not have become like this. All of these is your own doing! He's just like every last one of you!"
The group was getting angrier at the fact that he was not recognising his own wrongs. Yu Luan frowned and stepped forward. "Apart from coming to attack the sect, what else have you done?"
Tian Ji suddenly broke into an evil grin and gloated, "Since I dared to come and attack the sect, it shows that I have done all my preparations. Do you really think you have won? No! The battle has just begun."
Lonemoon's expression darkened and he immediately scanned the surroundings. "Shu Yi isn't here!"
The rest of the group stiffened as well. They had not noticed before, but now they realised. Tian Ji had been so good to his disciple – it was impossible that she wouldn't stay by his side. That was unless she was up to something else.
"You've finally realised?" Tian Ji grinned even wider. He was beginning to look a little crazed. "You won't be able to run away! All of you will die!"
Lonemoon's heart jumped. "Zuo Shuming!"
He exchanged eye contact with Yi Qing. In a flash, both of them flew back toward Nameless Mountain.
Chapter 687: High Level Cooperation

Yi Qing and Lonemoon flew quickly. In a flash, they arrived at Nameless Mountain. Before they landed, they heard a loud crash and saw the entire mountain vibrate. A sliver of white light shone forth from the ground. They detected faint sword Qi in the light, like there had just been an explosion..
"It's the sword array!" Lonemoon shouted. It was then that they remembered that when they left the mountain, Zuo Two Bucks was still inside the sword array.
The two of them looked on. Indeed, the ten-level sword array that Lonemoon had set up was destroyed. In fact, the huge force caused half the peak to be destroyed. All the sword Qi in the array was a mess. At the base of the mountain sat a ball of demonic Qi. Inside stood a figure with wounds all over his body. He was hanging on for his life, refusing to allow the demonic Qi all around him to swallow him.
It was Zuo Two Bucks!
Lonemoon started. He no longer cared about hiding his own cultivation level. He immediately waved his fan, causing it to turn into a spirit sword. With one wave of the sword, he caused all the demonic Qi around them to dissipate. He summoned spirit Qi to gather around Zuo Shuming, and used it to carry him out of the grips of the demonic Qi.
Yi Qing moved fast as well. The moment Lonemoon acted, Yi Qing activated his True Phoenix Fire and mixed together with his own sword Qi, before shooting the mixture toward the demonic Qi. The demonic Qi was forced to retreat into a small ball. Slowly, Shu Yi's body appeared
"Hey, you're still alive?" Lonemoon patted Zuo Two Bucks, who was covered in blood. Then, he sent a thread of immortal Qi into his body to activate Little Biao's scale within. A moment later, immortal Qi surrounded Zuo Shuming's body. His wounds began to heal before their very eyes.
His vision focused slowly. Recognising the person in front of him, he muttered, "Brother... Lonemoon?"
Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. It's a good thing they arrived in time.
"Uncle-Master Yi Qing!" Yu Luan and the other elders finally arrived. They saw the scene of destruction in front of them, then looked toward Shu Yi above. Immediately, they halted. Some of them were obviously in disbelief. "Shu... Yi?!"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
She no longer looked like the obedient disciple she was before. Perhaps the demonic Qi had finally gotten to her. There were demonic scars on her face. From time to time, her body even released demonic Qi. She no longer looked like a cultivator. Instead, she looked like half a demon. It was terrifying. Even looking from afar caused chills to run down their spines.
"It's you again!" Shu Yi glared at Yi Qing in front of her. She seemed enraged that she had failed again to kill Zuo Shuming. Yet, thinking about the fire that she had almost been hit with caused her to tremble.
[Ding! Warning, murder mission failed. Original owner's grievous energy has reached 95! If it rises to 100, the mission will be an utter failure.]
The familiar sound of the system was heard once again.
"Shut up! I know!" Shu Yi was getting anxious. Angered, she growled, "If Zuo Shuming had not been hiding in that sword array, I would not have to spend such a long time trying to kill him. He would have been dead by now."
[What should we do now, Host?] 001 was beginning to sound quite panicked. [Why not we just give up the mission? The original owner's grievous energy levels are too high. They wouldn't be reduced even if we manage to kill Zuo Shuming.]
"No!" Shu Yi answered immediately. "The mission aside – I've already wasted so many years n this plane. I wouldn't rest if I don't kill him!"
[But, Host...]
"Say no more. We can't do anything about the original owner's grievous energy values anymore, but it might still be possible to kill this man." Shu Yi lowered her gaze as she tried to suppress the anger she was feeling within. Her expression turned calm.
Yu Luan stepped forward. "Shu Yi! You betrayed the sect and became so unfilial that you did not even spare your own father! You colluded with a bunch of fiendish cultivators to come and attack our Gui Yi Sect too! What you've done is unforgivable. Uncle-Master Yi Qing has already taken Tian Ji down. You're all alone now with no support. Why are you not surrendering!"
"You want to catch me?" Shu Yi laughed mirthlessly, completely unafraid. The demonic Qi around her began to stir. "Let's just wait and see if you have what it takes." With that, she struck a blow to the ground.
Demonic Qi began to flow out of the ground and spread all around. The entire Nameless Mountain was shaking again. Huge cracks appeared all over the ground and black demonic Qi flowed out of those cracks, toward the group.
"Quick, mount your swords!" Lonemoon shouted. He grabbed Zuo Two Bucks and flew off the ground. These were mere mortals after all. They could not be allowed to come into contact with demonic Qi.
All the elders hesitated for a moment before they understood what was going on. One by onoe, they summoned their dharmic weapons and began to fly off the ground. Suddenly, black Qi appeared beneath their feet and a black array formed around them. They felt all the spirit Qi leave their bodies. It was almost as if someone was wringing them dry. Not only were they unable to fly off the ground, they were pinned to the spot. It was obvious that Shu Yi had already set up a Binding Array where they were.
Everybody in the group was about to run out of spirit Qi. Even their cultivation levels were beginning to look unstable. Yi Qing frowned and flicked the sword in his hand. Immediately, a huge amount of sword Qi struck the ground. It landed on top of the array with a loud crash. The array that was made of demonic Qi was broken apart. Everybody relaxed slightly.
"Hmph! Stupid!" Shu Yi suddenly laughed mirthlessly. She no longer cared whether Yi Qing broke her array. Instead, she took the chance to turn around and fly toward the peak of the mountain.
It was then that everyone realised she had only set up the array to distract them. Immediately, they followed her.
But she was not trying to escape Gui Yi Sect. Instead, she charged into a yard on the peak of the mountain and grabbed a certain someone from the table. She strangled her and said loudly, "Don't come nearer, or I'm going to kill her!"
"Shu Yi!" Zuo Shuming shouted. He no longer cared about the wounds he had on his body. Instead, he shouted angrily and anxiously, "What are you doing?! Let Lady Shen go!"
"Let her go?" Shu Yi responded in a chilling tone. "Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm going to let this bargaining chip go so easily?"
"Shu Yi.." Zuo Shuming took another two steps forward and said anxiously. "I don't know why you want to kill me, but Lady Shen is only an ordinary person. The feud between us has nothing to do with her!"
"Shu Yi." Yu Luan lowered his voice. "Don't carry on with our mistakes. Why are you getting an innocent life involved?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"An innocent life?" Shu Yi lowered her gaze and laughed once again. "If she really is just an ordinary person, why would you all be so nervous? Don't think I don't know about her identity. She's the master of that sword cultivator. You want to save her? Sure!" She narrowed her eyes and glared at Zuo Shuming, her gaze full of evil intent. "Kill him immediately, and I'll consider!"
Everybody turned to look at Zuo Shuming. Zuo Shuming stiffened.
Shu Yi laughed even louder and turned to look at Chef, gloating. "Supremacy Yi Qing, think clearly about this. You have the true fire and you're not afraid of demonic Qi, but you can't say the same for her. If you help me to kill Zuo Shuming, and destroy all of Gui Yi Sect, I promise nothing will happen to your master!"
Yi Qing: "..."
Lonemoon: "..."
F*cking retard!
Shen Ying, who was still being held by the neck, looked around at everyone. She scanned the anxious crowd, then took another bite of her fruit nonchalantly.
Speaking of which... Was she supposed to act along? After all, this girl did look like she was having the time of her life.

"Uncle-Master Yi Qing!" Yu Luan called out anxiously, seeing through Shu Yi's ploy to turn them against one another. "Don't listen to her. She's doing this on purpose to cause inner conflict among us. Don't fall for her tricks."
"So what if I'm doing this on purpose?" Shu Yi smiled, as if unafraid of them. She flicked her wrist and caused a black blade to appear in her hand. She held it up to Shen Ying's throat and asked, "Do you really want her to die before your eyes?" She started to press the blade into Shen Ying's neck.
"Stop that!" Zuo Shuming's face was drained of all colour. He rushed to speak, "Don't hurt Lady Shen. Isn't it me that you're after? Just come after me. Why are you harming innocent lives?"
Yu Luan looked at him, confused. But Zuo Two Bucks took a step forward and continued, "Let me exchange places with Lady Shen. I won't be able to resist you!"
"Disciple-Nephew Zuo!" Yu Luan and a few other Nascent Soul Perfected Ones shouted out, clearly conflicted.
"Hmph, I don't just want your life." Shu Yi did not even consider Zuo Shuming's suggestion. Instead, she scanned the group coolly. Her expression turned aggressive suddenly. "I want the lives of everyone in Gui Yi Sect!"
"You..." Yu Luan's expression changed as well. Yet, he could not think of any way to save them all. He had no choice but to turn to the person beside him. "Uncle-Master Yi Qing?" He was his uncle-master after all.
He turned and saw that Yi Qing and Lonemoon were not as anxious and panicky as the rest of them were. Instead, they were almost... too calm. Perhaps they were hiding it well? There was not a hint of nervousness on their faces.
Yu Luan was just about to say something more, when Shu Yi became impatient. She threatened again, "If you don't act now, I'm going to kill her immediately."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Heh heh." Lonemoon muttered under his breath. "Don't wait any longer. Go ahead and kill her!" Just try and see if you really can achieve that?
Huh?
Zuo Shuming: "..."
Yu Luan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Weren't they supposed to be very close? Why doesn't it look that way at all?
Even Shu Yi was stunned. A second later, she became even angrier. She glared at the two seemingly disloyal people and said, "Do you really think I won't dare to?" She tightened her grip on the blade in her hands, pressing it deeper into Shen Ying's neck. It was so close to drawing blood.
Zuo Shuming: No!"
The group: "You can't do that!"
Everybody's faces drained of all colour. They screamed out in unison.
Shen Ying finally stopped chewing her fruit. She looked down at the blade and rolled her eyes. Mm, the atmosphere is so tense. She has to play along. Thus, she opened her mouth and said unemotively, "Ah, so scary! Help me!" It was almost as if she had memorised these lines off a textbook.
Lonemoon pursed his lips. He had almost summoned spirit Qi to end everything off.
"Ahyaya, Father Niu, I'm so afraid. Quick, get ready a billion dollars to ransom me!"
Lonemoon: "..." F*cking retard.
Yi Qing: "..." Er, should he do something or not? This is so difficult – Master, help me!
"Father Niu..."
"Shut up!" Do you think I'm blind? The blade has already bent around your neck, alright? Can you sound more sincere when you're calling out for help? Can you at least act a little nervous? Do you think you're chanting a mantra? And... Don't even think about getting more pocket money!
凸(艹皿艹)
"This..." Yu Luan looked around at the three of them. For some reason, he felt like something was amiss. "Brother Lonemoon, Yi Qing..."
"Sect Master." Lonemoon frowned and took a step forward. "I think you'd better return to your mountain and keep an eye on Tian Ji. There are many fiendish cultivators there still. Let's try to prevent any sudden attacks."
"Huh? Ah!" Yu Luan hesitated and glanced at Shu Yi, who was still standing there. Then, he turned to Yi Qing, who had not spoken all these while. "But this situation..." Did they really not require assistance?
"Don't worry, it'll be alright. After all..." He looked up at the sky and said a little louder, "It's almost lunch time?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Lunch!
(⊙_⊙)
Shen Ying, who had been very into the acting, suddenly stiffened. Her expression darkened as she shouted, "Chef!" This time, she sounded more emotional than she did before.
"Yes, Master!" Yi Qing nodded. He did not even hesitate for a second. Clearly unworried about the situation, he ran in the kitchen. Soon, the sound of pots and pans clanging together sounded. He was cooking. Even now, Shen Ying did not forget to add one line.
"Cook a fish at noon – I want it barbequed!"
"Yes, Master! No problem, Master!"
Zuo Shuming: "..."
Shu Yi: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Huh?
What's going on! Shouldn't they worry about saving her first! Why was Yi Qing cooking at this moment!
Σ(°△°|||)
"Are you playing me?" Shu Yi asked. Her expression began to twist. The demonic Qi around her body was surging by now. She turned to grab at Zuo Shuming. A burst of demonic Qi shot toward him. Zuo Shuming was just about to be hit by it.
Lonemoon's expression darkened as he activated his God Power and raised his sword. Suddenly, a burst of sword Qi rushed forward to meet the demonic Qi. There was a loud crash. The black demonic Qi dissipated at once. The sword Qi continued to head toward Shu Yi.
Shu Yi was completely unprepared for the strength of the sword Qi. When it hit her, she was pushed back several steps with Shen Ying in tow. When she finally stabilised herself, she looked up at Lonemoon in disbelief. "You... You're a Soul Formation cultivator as well!"
Lonemoon frowned. He was too lazy to carry on acting anyway. He quickly adjusted his cultivation level to that of a Soul Formation cultivator's, and then caused a huge suppressive force to press down on Shu Yi.
Zuo Shuming and Yu Luan were shocked stiff. Both of them turned to Lonemoon at the same time.
"Brother... Brother Lonemoon!" Zuo Shuming stared blankly at him. It was a long time before he finally composed himself. It was no wonder that even after he passed Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment and even Core Formation, he was still no match for Lonemoon. Each time he trained, he would fall at Lonemoon's feet. So it was because Brother Lonemoon was a Soul Formation cultivator!
It was then that Yu Luan finally began to understand as well. It was no wonder that Uncle-Master Tian Yi favoured this Foundation Establishment disciple so much. Could it be that Uncle-Master Tian Yi already knew about this a long time ago?
"You've been hiding your cultivation level! You're really despicable!" Shu Yi glared at Lonemoon, her gaze full of hatred. He had been hiding by Zuo Shuming's side. That explained why all her plans fell through in the end. The more she thought about it, the more the hatred welled up inside her. As if recalling something, her eyes immediately turned red and the demonic Qi in her body intensified. She looked at Shen Ying, who by now had resumed chewing her fruits. She laughed sarcastically and said, "You're really a mortal at the end of the day. That's why you don't belong to any sect. But even without Yi Qing, I'm going to destroy Gui Yi Sect."
Yu Luan heard the hidden meaning in Shu Yi's words. His chest tightened as he asked, "What do you mean?"
Shu Yi grinned and responded, "Do you really think that I've been doing nothing but combining the various demonic sects while I have been in Skyfiend Sect all these years?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Zuo Shuming paled. "What else do you have up your sleeve?"
The demonic Qi around Shu Yi suddenly exploded. She became engulfed in demonic Qi, so that none of them could make out her figure any more. The sky instantly became darker. Grey clouds blew toward Nameless Mountain as the ground began to shake. The spirit herbs which filled the ground were now wilting before their very eyes. In fact, the entire mountain was turning a dead brown.
Something huge seemed to be trying to break out of the ground. Its presence caused all of their hearts to turn cold. It was like she had just awakened something frightening.
"This is.. the spirit meridian?" Yu Luan looked down at the black thing popping out of the ground. But it was demonic Qi. "Could it be..."
"The demonic source!" Lonemoon exclaimed. Immortal cultivators had the spirit meridian, but demonic cultivators had the demonic source.
Everybody sucked in a sharp breath collectively. Suddenly, they recalled the array that Shu Yi had set up at the base of the mountain. It looked like a Binding Array, but the demonic Qi was obviously charging toward the ground. So she had not just set up the array for fun – she was taking the chance to turn the spirit meridian in the mountain into a demonic source. She came here to capture Lady Shen just to buy time for the demonic source to form!
Shu Yi's expression hardened. Emphasising each word, she shouted, "I'm going to kill all of you!"
Chapter 689: The Skyfiend Arrives
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment Shu Yi finished her sentence, the demonic Qi in the surroundings surged. It thickened by several times, causing everything to become pitch-black.
"This is no good – the demonic Qi is entering the other sects!" One of the Nascent Soul elders exclaimed upon seeing the demonic Qi spread. He was getting increasingly anxious.
Everybody's expression changed. Indeed, there seemed to be more and more demonic Qi around them, threatening to flow out of Nameless Mountain and into the other mountains. The fact that they could remain where they were was all thanks to Lonemoon's array. But if the demonic Qi were to spread to the other mountains, the sect's disciples might just...
"Supremacy... Lonemoon?" Yu Luan turned to gaze at Lonemoon pleadingly.
"Don't set up any arrays!" Lonemoon instructed. He flew up into the air and used both his hands to conjure a seal. A white array appeared all around Nameless Mountain, trapping the demonic Qi within it. .
It was then that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Shu Yi, however, laughed mirthlessly. "Hmph, unnecessary effort!" She clearly did not think anything of the barrier Lonemoon set up. Instead, she spoke to the system in her head.
"001, quick, recover the Skyfiend immediately!"
[Host, do you really want to complete that array?"
"Nonsense!" Shu Yi tutted. "If you don't summon the demons, how are we going to kill Zuo Shuming and everyone else in Gui Yi Sect? Didn't I join the Skyfiend Sect just to obtain this weapon?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
[But... It's against the rules to access the demonic realm. We are going to be discovered by the Heavenly Dao in this plane!]
"Don't you have a way to avoid the Heavenly Dao's detection temporarily?" She stubbornly asked. "Let's hide from it for now. By the time we are detected, we'll be out of this plane."
[Host, this function will only last for a period of time, and it will clear out all of your points.]
"Then so be it!" Shu Yi said through gritted teeth. She rushed the system, "No matter what, I have to kill all of them today!"
[Ding! Recovery complete.]
Finally, Shu Yi retrieved something from in her robe and threw i into the sky. A huge array appeared all of a sudden. It glowed a suspicious red, as if something was trying to break out of the array from within.
"What... What is that!" Yu Luan's eyes widened in shock. That was one array that he had never seen before. It carried with it a certain evil aura that made them extremely uncomfortable. His blood turned cold in his veins.
Lonemoon took a closer look at the array and shock flickered across his face. Was this not the Skyfiend Array?! Why would someone in the lower realm have an array like that? Wasn't it true that only Skyfiends were able to set up this type of array?
No! On further inspection, he realised that there seemed to be something more inside of the array. It was no ordinary Skyfiend Array.
"Do you really think you can lock up my demonic Qi? It's of no use!" Shu Yi addressed the crowd with murderous intent in her eyes. She let out a chilling laugh and said, "It's not just me that you'll have to deal with!"
"What do you mean by that?" Yu Luan stiffened. He was obviously extremely fearful of the array in the sky.
Shu Yi laughed once again. "Do you know where the Skyfiend Sect got its name? It nurtured a demon that really ascended to become a Skyfiend. This array is the treasure that the Skyfiend Sect lost a long time ago. It allows one to access the demonic realm directly to summon the ancient demons."
"What!" Everybody's faces drained of all colour. Was Shu Yi crazy? She wanted to summon ancient demons? This would ruin the entire mortal realm!
But Shu Yi laughed even louder. She emphasised each word she said, "Not one of you will be able to get away this time!"
The moment she finished speaking, the array in the sky turned an eye-piercing red. Countless talismans floated up into the sky. They threatened to come alive at any moment. Indeed, a moment later, there was a loud crash. Above the red array, a huge black stone gate appeared. The darkness within it was so deep that it seemed to swallow all the red light.
"This... This is..." Zuo Shuming looked on, eyes widened in disbelief. He saw the huge gate in the air and felt a chill run down his spine. All his meridians turned to ice and even his cultivation level threatened to deteriorate. His Golden Core showed signs of falling apart.
"What are you standing there for!" Lonemoon reached out and pulled Zuo Shuming, throwing him into the array. With the other hand, he created a few more layers of protective arrays to prevent the suppressive force from getting to the people within.
"Supremacy Lonemoon, what exactly is..." Yu Luan was in shock.
Lonemoon lowered his gaze and answered, "The demonic gate." But what was it doing here?
There was no time for the group to even react before they heard a loud creak as the demonic gates opened. At the same time, the demonic Qi around Shu Yi seemed to multiply. The suppressive force that filled the air became more formidable. It seemed to be crushing the mountain.
"So many years have passed – people are still able to summon Wu Lin?" A chilling male voice was heard. A human figure appeared in the demonic gates. He was wearing a long black robe and was engulfed in demonic Qi. He smelled faintly of blood.
All of their hearts were in their throats. Suddenly, they understood that this man in front of them was a real demon.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Even Lonemoon fornwed. She could really summon a Skyfiend.
The Skyfiend raised his hand. The weapon that Shu Yi had thrown up flew into his hand at once. He looked down as if to check something and said, "This really is the Skyfiend seal that I left behind all those years ago. I never thought that a mere lower realm cultivator would be able to summon the person who left this seal."
He looked comforted, but his gaze remained icy. He looked further down and asked, "Who is the one who recovered this Skyfiend seal? I would like to grant her one thing."
"It was me!" Shu Yi looked elated. Indeed, the Skyfiend Sect was just like the ancient texts said. This array really could summon the Skyfiend back to the lower realm. The fact that he agreed to grant her one request was an added surprise. Without thinking further, she said, "Supremacy, I am the one who recovered this array. Please help me to wipe out Gui Yi Sect."
"Oh?" The Skyfiend turned to face Shu Yi. In a flash, he stepped out of the gates and walked toward her. With each step he took, the demonic Qi around him seemed to intensify. Shu Yi's demonic Qi was forced to retreat. It was like her demonic Qi was feeling threatened. The Skyfiend looked at her more and more intently as he asked, "You want me to kill off these mortals?"
"That's right!" Shu Yi nodded. Slowly, the figure that had been engulfed in demonic Qi revealed itself.
The Skyfiend smiled, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent. "Alright then! I will do as you-" He stopped mid-sentence. All the evil disappeared from his eyes. In its place was shock and a bit of fear. He looked in the direction of Shu Yi, but he began to stutter. "As you... y-y-you... y-y-you..." For a long time, he did not manage to complete his sentence. Instead, his body began to tremble.
"Supremacy?" Shu Yi paused.
The next moment, the Skyfiend's entire body jumped, like he had just been jolted awake. Both his legs could not hold his weight any longer. Without any hesitation, he got to his knees and kowtowed toward Shen Ying, who was still being held by Shu Yi. He let out several whines as he plastered himself to the ground. It was an amazing display of prostrating oneself in admiration.
"Little Demon greets the Exalted... E-E-Exalted Goddess!"
Shu Yi: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
Everyone: "..."
What the hell? !

"Who are you?" Shen Ying took a bite of her fruit and asked.
"Exalted Goddess, I'm Little Three[1, Slang for "mistress" in Mandarin[!" The Skyfiend raised his head and pointed at his own face. "I'm the Little Three in Exalted King Little Black's house, remember?"
"..." What Little Three? Did Yu Hong know about this?
The skyfiend quickly added, "The third of the skyfiends – I'm Little Three. Exalted Goddess, you're the one who gave me that name, remember?"
Lonemoon: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
You should have told us earlier that you're one of the ten skyfiends!
Lonemoon turned to glare at a certain someone. It's all your fault for coming up with random nicknames for people!
"Supremacy?" Shu Yi was beginning to feel a little uneasy. She turned to the skyfiend in a panic and asked meekly, "Didn't you... Didn't you promise to destroy Gui Yi Sect for me?"
"Don't spout nonsense!" The skyfiend straightened up on his knees. Was she courting death? How dare she say things like that in front of the Exalted Goddess? "What sect? Who was going to destroy the entire sect? Don't get me into trouble. I'm a good demon. I have been at the Exalted Goddess' beck and call ever since the lower and upper realm merged. I've always been harmonious, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I've never done a single bad thing. Yesterday, I even went to the Invincible Heavenly Palace to help King Wu give out immortal pills to the various continents. Each month, I would even add to the merits of the sect. I'm not slacking at all!"

"But..." Shu Yi began to look a little confused. She said, "I'm the one who restored the skyfiend's seal!"
"So what if you did? Who told you to do that anyway?" The skyfiend refused to admit that he was the one who left the instructions. Instead, he quickly clarified his position. "We didn't give you the immortal stone. You created it of your own accord just because you had nothing better to do!" I'm not that familiar with you anyway! Stop trying to act like you were in cahoots with me all this time!
"You..." Shu Yi continued to stare blankly at the skyfiend. Was this really a skyfiend?
Little Three kowtowed toward Shen Ying once again. He emphasised each word as he said, "Exalted Goddess... Exalted Goddess, please believe me! Although I look black, I'm innocent!" After pondering for a moment, he added, "It's all the other skyfiends' faults. When the demonic gate opened, we played rock paper scissors. They cheated at the game, and I ended up losing. I had no choice but to come down here. I really did not want to!"
The more he explained himself, the louder his voice became. He sounded indignant. Tears began to fill his eyes. "Exalted Goddess, it really has nothing to do with me. When the immortal realm and demonic realm joined together earlier, I checked the entire place for remnants of demonic gates. I thought I had kept them all. This skyfiend seal had been broken. it could not summon any demonic gates at the time, and people from the lower realm should not know how to fix it. It's Demonic King Little Black who said that we didn't have to bother about this seal anymore. That was why we did not take it back from the lower realm. Now... Exalted Goddess, it's all Demon King Little Black's fault! He made me do this!"
Shen Ying: "..."
Lonemoon: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Was this skyfiend really so scared that he was betraying his own supervisor?
(⊙_⊙)
An electronic voice sounded in Shu Yi's ear. It sounded like a judge.
[Ding! Original Owner's grievous energy 5!]
[Ding! Grievous energy value has reached 100! Mission failed!]
[Ding! The Heavenly Dao on this plane has detected us. Prepare to leave this plane by force. Host, please be prepared. 10, 9, 8...]
A wave of indignance came over Shu Yi. She had no time to process the scene before her eyes before her angry gaze landed on Zuo Shuming. Her eyes were filled with strong murderous intent. The next thing she knew, everything in front of her eyes turned black and she lost all sense of logic.
Lonemoon and the others saw a green talisman filled with codes flash on top of Shu Yi's soul. The black primary soul from an alternate world, which had been stuck inside the invader's heart, seemed like it was being forcefully pulled out of her body. It immediately flew toward the demonic gate. Shu Yi fell to the ground, unconscious. But the original primary soul in the body did not re-appear.
The system was getting away. Lonemoon quickly called out, "Chef!"
Yi Qing, who had been in the kitchen, appeared in a flash in front of the demonic gate. He raised his hand and waved it, causing the demonic gate to close immediately. The passageway that led to the demonic realm was now closed. Then, he summoned his sword array to trap the entity that was made up of codes.
The system seemed to have noticed that it could no longer enter the demonic realm. Thus, it burst into green light. They had no idea what it was trying to do, but it charged through Chef's sword array, and toward the ground.
Lonemoon stiffened and reacted immediately. "It's heading for the River of Forgetfulness!"
He turned around and tried to stop it. Shen Ying, who had been opposite him just a second ago, suddenly appeared by his side. She reached out and grabbed him.
"What are you doing?" Lonemoon asked anxiously.

"Wait for awhile!" Shen Ying responded nonchalantly. She took another bite out of her fruit.
"What are you waiting for? He's going to escape through the River of Forgetfulness!" The system wanted to enter the demonic gates to go back to the immortal realm, but it did not know that the hole had been closed. That was why it wanted to escape through the pathway outside Invincible Heavenly Palace. Since Chef locked the demonic gate, the system was now attempting to enter the River of Forgetfulness in the lower realm and drill a hole in it directly. "Shit! It's gone in!"
Lonemoon paused. The system was already underground and in the River of Forgetfulness. His chest tightened. "It wants to run... Eh?" He trailed off mid-sentence when he realised that the system, which had been glowing green, had lost all of its light upon entering the golden source. The green light separated from the system and seemed to form another body. From the centre of that green light floated a white soul. It faintly looked like Shu Yi.
This was... the real Shu Yi that had been taken over by the system. In other words, this was the primary soul of the body. It was finally separated! The invader had not managed to accomplish her mission. Therefore, she would be unwilling to follow the system back. What's more, under the current of the River of Forgetfulness, the system would not be able to keep a hold on the primary soul.
Everything was happening so quickly. In a blink of an eye, the original owner's primary soul returned to the River of Forgetfulness. Yet, the system did not stop moving. After separating from the original owner, it continued to bring the invader's black soul through the River of Forgetfulness forcefully. With pure brute force, it opened a hole in the plane.
"It's done!" Shen Ying threw the core of the fruit aside and jumped into the River of Forgetfulness.
Lonemoon looked up at Chef, who was still in mid-air. They quickly followed Shen Ying. In a flash, the three of them disappeared into the ground.
The people and skyfiend, who could not see the system nor the River of Forgetfulness: "..."
Σ(°△°|||)
What was going on? What just happened? Why did Shu Yi fall to the ground unconscious all of a sudden? And how did the three of them disappear?
They turned around to look at Zuo Shuming – the only one who had been close to the three of them...
"I... I don't know either," Zuo Shuming said, confused.
"..." Were all the Soul Formation Supremacies so mysterious?
They turned to face one another, then looked down at the skyfiend, who was still on his knees. The skyfiend really did look pure and kind.
Speaking of which – was this a real Skyfiend?
For some reason, the fear that Yu Luan felt in his heart completely dissipated. He squared his shoulders and said, "Well... Fellow Daoist, we don't know when the three Supremacies will be back. Why not you... Come back to the main hall with us and have a cup of tea?" After all, he did not seem to want to pick a fight with them. It was in all of their interests to remain harmonious!
"No!" Little Three quickly shook his head vigorously. Determined, he responded, "Exalted Goddess has not permitted me to get up. I cannot get up on my own. I'm a skyfiend that knows better – don't even think about lying to me!"
Yu Luan pursed his lips and changed his approach. "Why not we send a cup of tea over here?" You can drink while you kneel?
"Sure!" Little Three nodded. "Remember to add more tea leaves! It perks me up!" For all he knew, he could be kneeling for another 500 years!
Yu Luan: "..."
Zuo Shuming: "..."
Everyone: "..."
