Chapter 155: Heroes Gather

  Yang Feng began to absorb the demonic energy into his body, then refined and transformed it into four strands of true energy, which was compressed into a liquid state before being absorbed by the Golden Elixir. Although Yang Feng's absorption and refinement speed was very fast, and most of the demonic energy had been stored in various acupoints on his body, this demonic energy that had accumulated over two thousand years, plus the jade bed made entirely of condensed demonic energy where Yang Feng sat cross-legged, was a massive amount of demonic energy. It was not something that could be absorbed cleanly in just one or two days.

  Yang Feng, this time because there was no danger, could wholeheartedly devote himself to absorbing and refining the demonic energy to increase his strength, so he quickly entered a state of emptiness. At this moment, on Yang Feng's head still appeared the phenomenon of three flowers gathering at the top, three lotus flowers faintly visible on Yang Feng's head emitting a misty aura, protecting Yang Feng's mind.

  Originally, the demonic energy gathering towards Yang Feng still contained a large number of vengeful spirits. However, when the three flowers appeared on top of Yang Feng's head, all the vengeful spirits fled in all directions and none dared to approach within three feet of Yang Feng. Occasionally, some vengeful spirits without eyes flew into the range of the misty aura emitted by the three flowers and immediately turned to ashes!

  In this way, Yang Feng absorbed the demonic energy to increase his strength, Xiao Qing swallowed the ice pillar and fell into a deep sleep, while Jin Canhu's mother was constantly devouring the vengeful spirits in the demonic energy to achieve her evolution goal. The three of them all entered their own cultivation state, completely forgetting the passage of time.

  However, they did not know that when Xiao Qing suddenly destroyed the Xuan Yin array, several sects in the Xiuzhen world had a premonition. At this time, many sect leaders in the Xiuzhen world began to take action, leading their disciples to rush towards the secular world. This was because the righteous path sect disciples who designed Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo had left behind a seal in their respective sects, leaving behind a legacy that said the seal was connected to an array that sealed two demon kings. If this seal is triggered, it means someone is destroying the array, letting the disciples of each sect go to stop them.

  So when the leaders of those sects saw that their own sect's seals were triggered, they remembered the words of their predecessors and immediately gathered the strongest people from each sect to rush to the secular world. As soon as they left their respective mountain gates, they discovered that the demonic energy was surging in Jinzhou, Huaxia, and immediately flew over there.

  At this time, Yang Tian and Xueyi's Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Demon-Sealing Array was desperately preventing the demon energy from leaking out. They had been maintaining this array for almost half a month now. Xueyi and the others were fine, the demon energy didn't have much of an impact on them, it just consumed some of their energy. But Yang Tian was different, the surging demon energy constantly impacted his heart, and with the continuous depletion of his True Yuan Force, he gradually became unstable.

  However, Yang Tian still gritted his teeth and persisted. Ever since he saw Yang Feng, this younger generation, he was very pleased and proud to have such an outstanding junior. Now that Yang Feng had entered the demonic cave alone, as a senior, he could only help block the demonic energy from leaking out. Even if his true yuan force was consumed more, he couldn't retreat. He couldn't let his junior laugh at him for being useless, so Yang Tian used this conviction to persist!

  Just as Yang Tian was gritting his teeth and persevering, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, looked up at the sky, and took in a breath of cold air. This was because he saw those so-called Orthodox Sects of the Cultivation Realm flying towards them, among whom were several old acquaintances who had pursued him most fiercely when he was making his way in the Cultivation Realm.

  Yang Tian's heart was secretly anxious, how did these people come, if it were usual, he had just broken through the middle stage of the Outrageous Realm, and was thinking of finding those old friends in the Cultivation World to catch up, but now is not the time. Not to mention that he had consumed a large amount of true yuan power and was no longer their match. If they were causing trouble and making it impossible for him to help maintain this Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sealing Array, and couldn't help Yang Feng, then things would be bad.

  But Yang Tian's anxiety was useless, those so-called aristocratic families had already arrived at their doorstep in an instant. Among these people, many were familiar to Yang Tian, including the Kunlun School, Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and Ci Hang Jing Zhai, three super sects of the Xiu Zhen world. The Jing Nian Chan Sect, which also belonged to Ci Hang Jing Zhai, had also sent someone, as well as some smaller schools from the Xiu Zhen world.

  Led by the three major sects, these orthodox figures fell to Yang Tian's side. Among the orthodox figures, some people had already recognized Yang Tian and hastily reported the news to their respective leaders. Then, those who recognized Yang Tian waited with a mixture of shock and schadenfreude to see how their leaders would deal with him.

  "Are you Yang Tian?! You're the one who injured my Kunlun Sect's disciple back then?!" The leader of the Kunlun Sect, Yichenzu, said to Yang Tian.

  Yang Tian looked at the Kunlun Sect's leader who was questioning him and found that he couldn't gauge his cultivation level. He knew that this one dust son of the Kunlun Sect must have broken through the Out-of-Body period and reached the Separation of Spirit period, or even higher. Seeing him ask questions, Yang Tian knew that today would definitely be a fierce battle, so he simply went all out.

  "Haha, don't mention hurting your Kunlun Sect's old rascals, ask the miscellaneous hairs of Mount Shu Sword Sect if I have ever hurt their disciples?! You also ask those women from Ci Hang Jing Zhai if I have ever hurt their disciples?! Haha, among all you miscellaneous sects, ask which one doesn't have a disciple who has been hurt by me, Yang Tian?!" Yang Tian said with loud laughter.

  His words made the face of Yizhenzi, the leader of the Kunlun Sect, suddenly turn gloomy. The faces of Xiao Yaozi, the leader of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and Miao Zhen Shitai, the leader of the Ci Hang Jing Zhai, also looked extremely ugly. They had all heard of Yang Tian's name, and his deeds in the Xiu Zhen realm were widely spread. He was surrounded by many sects and yet managed to escape safely, disappearing without a trace. Unexpectedly, two hundred years later, he appeared in the secular world, and his cultivation had advanced from the Golden Elixir stage to the Nascent Soul stage. It was indeed a remarkable achievement for someone to increase their strength so much in just two hundred years, making him a talented individual.

  The three leaders were extremely angry at Yang Tian's words, but none of them made any moves. Each of them was a master who had cultivated for hundreds of years and would not act without understanding the opponent's true strength. They saw that Yang Tian's strength was in the middle stage of the Outrageous Realm, but as for the other thirteen Blood Guards, no one could see through their true strength, so they all remained still.

  However, the three leaders didn't make any moves and were able to remain calm, but that doesn't mean their disciples could also remain calm. A person from the Kunlun Sect walked out, someone Yang Tian recognized, it was the same person he met when he accidentally entered the Cultivation World, the one who insisted on capturing Yang Tian back then, only to be severely injured by him.

  Yang Tian looked at the person who walked out and was slightly stunned, but he quickly recognized who this person was. If it wasn't for him misunderstanding himself back then, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state in the Cultivation Realm. Yang Tian still remembered this person's name - Lu Tao, who was also a newly-established Foundation Building cultivator at that time. Unexpectedly, he had now reached the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul realm.

  Lu Tao walked up and pointed at Yang Tian, saying "Yang Tian, do you still remember me?!"

  Yang Tian looked at Lu Tao with a cold laugh, thinking that even if you turned to ashes, I would still recognize your bones. If it wasn't for your unreasonable behavior back then, would I have been hunted down by the entire cultivation world?!

  "Haha, how could I forget you?! What's wrong, got an itch? Want to come and get beaten up or something?" Yang Tian sneered with a smile at Lu Tao.

  "Hmph, Yang Tian, you evil demon, back in the Cultivation Realm, it was your good fortune that we couldn't eliminate you. But today, with so many fellow righteous cultivators present, I won't let this evil demon like you escape! Today is your day of death!" Lu Tao loudly said to Yang Tian.

  "Haha, I'd like to see who dares to move and try me, Yang Tian's brother!" A very loud and jarring voice rang out in everyone's ears, and immediately five black-clad masked men appeared on the scene. The leader was a giant of a man with an exceptionally large build, carrying a huge greataxe that glinted with cold light on his back, and it was he who had just spoken those words.

  Behind this person, there were also four black-clad masked figures. However, judging from their builds, three of them appeared to be male and one female. The female figure was actually the woman who had been hiding in the sky watching when Yang Feng, Li Yi, Song Gang, and Jing Yao had clashed earlier. She seemed to be a member of the Tian Mo Sect.

  "Haha, it's actually Big Brother Ba Tian. It's been over 200 years since we last met, I've really missed you, little brother! Unfortunately, I have some pressing matters to attend to and can't come out to greet you properly, please don't take offense, Big Brother Ba Tian!" Yang Tian had seen the person in black clothes with a masked face appear, but from his tone and the large greataxe behind him, he immediately knew that this was the big brother who had saved him back then and safely sent him out of the Xiu Zhen realm - the elder of the Tian Mo Sect, Ba Tian. He was overjoyed and hastily greeted him.

  Yang Tian was originally worried that he would be outnumbered and outmatched by the Kunlun Sect, but now that Ba Tian had arrived, he felt more at ease. Two hundred years ago, Ba Tian's strength was already unfathomable, and as the Guardian Elder of the Tianmo Gate, his power must have increased even further. With his help, Yang Tian didn't need to worry so much anymore.

  Kunlun School, Shu Mountain Sword Sect and Ci Hang Jing Zhai's three leaders looked at the five people who suddenly appeared, also knew their origins, and their faces became even more unsightly. They did not expect that Tian Mo Men would also come to make trouble.

  "Ba Tian, don't think that just because you have five people, you can be arrogant here. Don't you see that everyone who came here are the top masters of all the orthodox sects?! Do you really think you can win against us?!" Yichenzi said with a gloomy face to Ba Tian.

  Just as Dusty finished speaking, a black whirlwind suddenly swept across the entire venue, carrying an extremely intense ghostly aura. Another gray whirlwind also appeared, but it carried a demonic and evil energy. After these two whirlwinds passed by, two groups of people had appeared on the scene. Seeing the emergence of these two groups, the faces of the three faction leaders finally changed!

  One batch came from the Fandu Ghost Realm, while the other was from the Wan Yao Alliance. This way, it's truly a gathering of heroes. As for who will die in whose hands, that's uncertain!
