These two items can be said to be essential lifebound possessions of the Demon Race.

Once they fall into the hands of others, their life and death will be controlled by others, never to be free again.

Clearly, the Fiery Red Demon Bird, in order to survive, is now desperate and disregarding everything.

Naturally, Ji Haoyuan was not courteous about this, and with a raise of his hand, he collected the drop of Lifebound Essence Blood and Lifebound Demon Soul.

Buzz!

At the same time.

The Flowing Flame Profound Yellow Spear hovered at the Fiery Red Demon Bird's forehead, still trembling incessantly.

Seemingly slightly unsatisfied for not being able to drink deeply of the Blood of Great Demon.

"Come back."

Ji Haoyuan chuckled.

Instantly, the Flowing Flame Profound Yellow Spear transformed into a pinpoint of red light and merged into his forehead in the blink of an eye.

Only now did the Fiery Red Demon Bird, with a look of lingering fear, fly in front of Ji Haoyuan and bow its head deeply.

"Small demon greets the master!"

"Hmm." Ji Haoyuan nodded indifferently, and then took out a Tier 3 Beast Taming Token from his person and said, "Enter."

The Fiery Red Demon Bird, the Blazing Fire Swan, responded respectfully.

Its form transformed into a streak of red light entering Ji Haoyuan's Tier 3 Beast Taming Token in his hand.

"Senior Brother Nanhua, congratulations on acquiring a mount."

At this moment, Shi Siyao from not far away promptly smiled and congratulated Ji Haoyuan.

True Man Qianyue, Zhou Kun, and Meng Changtian from the cavern abode also heard the commotion and came forth.

Upon learning that Ji Haoyuan had slain another Great Demon and subdued a Great Demon, they were shocked, and like Shi Siyao, they all congratulated Ji Haoyuan.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan returned the salutes one by one.

Shortly thereafter.

All five of them looked towards the battlefield below.

After Ji Haoyuan and Shi Siyao successively took action to kill the Great Demons and subdue one, the Demon Beasts that were fearless and attacking Heaven-Piercing Valley began fleeing like headless flies.

Especially as all five soared through the sky.

The pressure from the Golden Core level instilled fear in the low-level Demon Beasts.

The retreat of these Demon Beasts became unstoppable, and soon someone approached Ji Haoyuan to inquire whether they should pursue outside the city.

Ji Haoyuan did not stop this.

Such a rare chance for a counterattack needed to be firmly grasped.

With them watching over, even if the Qiu Long Mountain Range attempted a second offensive, it would not be completed immediately.

Unless, another Great Demon chose to enter the battlefield personally.

However, after a long time passed.

Cultivators returned after chasing the Demon Beasts outside the city, and there was no movement at all from within the Qiu Long Mountain Range.

Thus, peaceful days passed for several days.

Zhou Kun and Shi Siyao found Ji Haoyuan with grim expressions, delivering very bad news.

"Junior Brother Nanhua, we just received news from the alliance's upper ranks saying they want to transfer you to another location to defend against this beast tide."

The alliance's upper ranks mentioned here refer to the temporary war alliance formed by major Nascent Soul sects and Nascent Soul families to counter this beast tide.

The people in charge within were appointed Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the major Nascent Soul sects and families.

Upon hearing the words from Zhou Kun and Shi Siyao, Ji Haoyuan was first stunned, then unbelievingly asked back:

"Senior Brother Zhou, Junior Sister Shi, what are you saying?

The alliance's upper ranks want to transfer me to another place for this beast tide defense?"

This was entirely unexpected for him.

He was clearly defending this place well, why would the alliance's upper ranks issue such an unreasonable order?

To know, the Heaven-Piercing Valley is his family's territory.

He didn't believe the Demonstration Sect wouldn't know.

As if seeing Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, Shi Siyao on the side showed a wry smile.

"Senior Brother Nanhua, don't misunderstand, this order didn't come from our sect's True Monarch.

For such matters, even the True Monarch from Senior Brother Zhou's faction is impossible to issue such orders."

At this point, Shi Siyao directly laid out the faction distinction within their Demonstration Sect.

Zhou Kun appeared somewhat embarrassed but also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed.

Our Demonstration Sect's family faction and master-disciple faction belong to two camps.

But at this critical moment of the Human-Demon war, it's absolutely impossible to do anything disadvantageous to our sect's cultivators, let alone suppress each other like this.

That is a principle, and a bottom line."

Indeed.

Within a sect, factions, competition, conflicts, and even clashes are normal phenomena.

They are unavoidable circumstances too.

But no matter how competitive, inharmonious, or filled with strife, these remain internal matters.

They absolutely cannot be extended outside, let alone stabbing their own people in the back at critical times.

If one truly did so.

The sect would be close to decline, even splitting would be imminent.

This is the unspoken rule followed by all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Demonstration Sect.

If someone dared to harm their own cultivators secretly with such things.

Once discovered, let alone Golden Core elders, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs would face severe consequences.

After all, the Demonstration Sect has a Great True Monarch overseeing it.

This person never involves themselves in the faction disputes within the sect.

Aloof and above the fray.

Also truly the pillar of the entire Demonstration Sect.

Possessing the right to conclusively decide any matter.

At this point, Ji Haoyuan slowly calmed down.

He looked at Zhou Kun and Shi Siyao and said gravely:

"If it wasn't someone from our sect issuing this order, I must ask, do you know who is behind this?"

Ji Haoyuan felt he needed to find out about this matter.

Otherwise, with such uncertainty, he wouldn't find peace.

"Senior Brother Zhou, I'll let you speak."

Shi Siyao and Zhou Kun exchanged a glance.

Then, Shi Siyao gestured to Zhou Kun to go ahead.

Ji Haoyuan directed his gaze towards him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kun finally showed a serious expression.

He looked at Ji Haoyuan and asked gravely:

"Junior Brother Nanhua, have you had any conflicts or feuds with the True Words Sect?"

"True Words Sect?"

Ji Haoyuan's pupils suddenly contracted slightly.

"Indeed." Zhou Kun nodded. Without further inquiry, he continued, "To be honest, the one who issued that order against you was True Monarch Bihai from True Words Sect.

Initially, you are an Honored Guest Elder of our Demonstration Sect, such matters of issuing orders to you shouldn't be handled by True Words Sect.

But unfortunately, the True Monarch responsible for our sect in the alliance is currently away.

Other True Monarchs have their own matters to attend to as well.

This led to our sect having no one to guard at the alliance's upper ranks temporarily.

So..."
