The old crone’s furious roar echoed through the skies above the snowy peak.

However, as Li Muyang swiftly dodged and evaded the pursuing Refinement Demon Sect elders in the night sky, he coldly sneered and said,

“Old hag, see if you can even survive tonight!”

“You’re so arrogant, I don’t think you and your disciples will see tomorrow’s sun!”

As Li Muyang spoke, he released a ray of light towards a distant Suspended Island while still dodging at high speed in flight.

“That Suspended Island is where the Soul Refinement Hall is located! All the Refinement Demon Sect disciples there are this old demoness’s grand disciples!”

Li Muyang’s voice resounded through the night sky.

The several prison escapees originally wreaking havoc in the Spirit Beast Hall, who had already torn apart the Spirit Beast Sanctuary and released the kept beasts to devour people, suddenly burst into laughter and flew up into the sky, heading towards the Suspended Island of the Soul Refinement Hall.

Seeing this, the old hag, infuriated, spewed blood, and her already hunched and injured body could not even stand steady.

On her old and ugly face, her features twisted into an expression of extreme pain, hatred, and ferocity.

“Li Muyang!”

The old hag’s eyes blood-red as she let out a hoarse and mournful cry: “I’ll eat your flesh alive! And then I’ll extract the soul, flay, and boil the oil of that cheap maid in your arms, to keep the lanterns lit day and night!”

“You want to save her, don’t you? I’ll make you siblings beg me to kill you!”

The furiously angry elder of Soul Refinement, in her extreme anger, gave up on healing herself.

She directly lifted the Dragon Head Staff in her hand, dragging her severely injured body and spewing fresh blood as she began to revive the Sect Protection Array’s power.

With the raising of the Dragon Head Staff, the Refinement Demon Sect’s Sect Protection Array was reactivated.

Pale lightning bolts fell straight from the void, aiming for the Green Sickle Praying Mantis atop the snowy peak.

There were also surging flames from underneath the earth and the void, spreading and burning towards the prisoners who were causing chaos within the Refinement Demon Sect.

And even more chilling was the cold, invisible wind appearing silently in the void, striking without warning.

Anyone living who encountered this bizarre and cold wind would have their flesh stripped from their bones in an instant, a frightful sight to behold.

Several unsuspecting prisoners caught by the reactivated power of the Sect Protection Array were left severely injured.

But an even more horrifying scene unfolded.

Far from being deterred, the severely wounded prisoners became even more frenzied.

Their bodies ignited with a dim divine light, which was the burning of their own Primordial Spirits in exchange for the peak power of the Purple Mansion realm.

For a moment, three prisoners returned to the Purple Mansion realm.

Even though such a state could only last for a brief quarter of an hour, after which they would turn to ash and smoke,

the three prisoners didn’t hesitate.

They laughed menacingly as they stormed into the Suspended Island, bringing an even more desperate storm of blood and violence to the Refinement Demon Sect this night.

The true Purple Mansion adepts brought killings that were more terrifying, more desperate!

Seeing this, the Soul Refinement elder was petrified.

She gripped the Dragon Head Staff tightly and for a moment, didn’t dare to lay a hand on the desperate prisoners.

Once cornered and choosing to burn their Primordial Spirits, walking the path to ashes, more disciples within the Refinement Demon Sect would meet a gruesome death!

She looked angrily at Li Muyang above the head of the beastly praying mantis. At this moment, the pressure on Li Muyang had abruptly lessened, and only six elders were still in pursuit behind him.

The rest of the Refinement Demon Sect elders were busy assisting their own Suspended Islands or chasing the prisoners who were slaughtering recklessly within the Refinement Demon Sect.

The entire Refinement Demon Sect was thrown into total chaos.

With the sudden reduction in pressure, Li Muyang, dragging his injured body and with his wounds spewing blood, was laughing uproariously on the snowy peak, completely exhilarated.

From the very start, he had been relentlessly pursued by the Refinement Demon Sect elders.

So much so that he had been unable to leave the snowy peak, constantly trapped in this area.

Now seeing the Refinement Demon Sect in turmoil, with the elders crying out in heartache amidst the slaughter, Li Muyang felt an extreme sense of satisfaction.

Suddenly sensing the gaze of the Soul Refinement elder from afar, Li Muyang sneered.

“Old witch, don’t dare to make a move? You command the Sect Protection Array, yet you watch as these Black Prison convicts slaughter our sect’s disciples… You bear an inescapable responsibility for their countless deaths!”

Li Muyang’s words were a deadly strike to the heart, instantly turning the old woman’s eyes blood red once again.

“You ungrateful cur!” the old woman stared at Li Muyang with her blood-red eyes, fuming, “You’re also a disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect; among those who died tragically, there are surely your old acquaintances, friends.”

“Today, you’ve instigated chaos, but you’ve caused them to fall like leaves. Don’t you have the slightest guilt or compassion in your heart?”

“If you had the courage to face us in battle today, fighting fair and square for life and death, it wouldn’t shame your talent.”

“Yet instead, you resort to such despicable tactics, diverting trouble eastward, involving innocent disciples… Li Muyang! Do you not have even a shred of shame about you?” the Soul Refinement elder roared furiously.

However, her questioning was met with loud mockery from Li Muyang.

“Hahaha… Old hag, what nonsense are you spouting!”

“Who told you that these Refinement Demon Sect disciples were my old friends?”

“Just a few hours ago, these guys wished nothing more than to kill me and trample me underfoot ten thousand times!”

“Besides, isn’t it the way of the demonic path—where slaughter reigns and the strong rule supreme—that your Refinement Demon Sect has frequently exterminated entire families and sects?”

Li Muyang scoffed, “And I just so happen to be coldhearted and naturally cruel.”

“My actions tonight are precisely what befits the nurturing I received from your Refinement Demon Sect!”

“I am the demon! A heart of stone, cruel beyond words… Hahaha…”

Li Muyang burst into laughter, but while he spoke, he kept a vigilant eye on the distant Ancestor of Demon Refinement.

Faced with the ceaseless pursuit of Mo Xianzi, the life of this strange creature, which had survived for a thousand years, was becoming increasingly perilous.

Not even the three external incarnations that came to his aid could withstand the might of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.

The old monster had already sustained some injuries, looking extremely grim.

Upon seeing the blood flowing like rivers within the Refinement Demon Sect, and one Inner Sect Disciple after another dying or getting injured, the old monster eventually widened his eyes in anger.

But he did not erupt in rage immediately; instead, he attempted to persuade.

“Boy, with your strength, if you were to rejoin our Refinement Demon Sect, your future would be limitless!”

“I can discard the successor of the Corpse Immortal in your favor, forgoing this path to immortality!” the Ancestor of Demon Refinement shouted through gritted teeth, attempting to sue for peace: “If you insist on forcing me, don’t think that I truly have no means to deal with you!”

“Your two puppets indeed stand unrivaled in this world, but I who have endured in silence for a thousand years, also have my trump cards!”

To this, Li Muyang was briefly silent.

But that silence lasted only a moment.

Then he scoffed coldly, “A tempting offer, but unfortunately, I decline!”

Mo Xianzi’s corpse suddenly unleashed a sword strike, and a pale sword light, as cold as moonlight, rose sharply in the night sky, directly casting away the three incarnations that had aided the Ancestor of Demon Refinement in life.

Accompanying this was Li Muyang’s icy voice.

“To call for a truce at this point… you’re joking with ghosts!”

Li Muyang’s combat experience far surpassed that of others.

He had battled real deities and Immortals!

Now having Mo Xianzi exhibit her combat power, he was utterly overwhelming the exhausted Ancestor of Demon Refinement.

Watching the Ancestor of Demon Refinement’s three incarnations be cast away, Li Muyang said coldly, “I must say, I preferred you when you first showed your unyielding nature.”

He indeed had his reservations about the Refinement Demon Sect, but his concern was the combination of the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, the Sect Protection Array, and the resurgence of a divine corpse.

Now that the divine corpse wasn’t reviving, did the Ancestor of Demon Refinement think he could scare him?

Was he treating his Immortal Sword as a mere ornament?
