Although he intentionally controlled his speed, it only took three hours before Wang Ruoxie arrived at Inquiry Sword Peak, where the Celestial Sword Sect was located.

After retracting the Soul Boat, Wang Ruoxie and Lady Chi began walking towards the Celestial Sword Sect.

Fu'Er was naturally left inside the Soul Boat, a Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact; the cabin constituted its own space, unaffected by external size changes.

Along the way, Wang Ruoxie noticed many corpses around the ground on the roadside, not yet fully decayed, and in many places, there were traces of blood not yet dried.

The air was filled with a nauseating bloody stench; an ordinary person wouldn't dare to continue forward.

"It seems the Celestial Sword Sect has recently had fierce battles with the Celestial Demon Sect."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed, thinking to himself.

He raised his eyes and saw that in the direction of the Celestial Sword Sect, a thick blood aura soared into the sky, nearly dyeing the entire sky above red.

He could even feel constant tremors and explosions in the space, faintly hearing sounds of battle cries.

"Not good, the Blood Demon Sect should be attacking the Celestial Sword Sect."

Wang Ruoxie's face slightly changed, then turned to Lady Chi and said, "Mother, the Celestial Sword Sect seems to be in danger. I'll first send you back to the warship."

Lady Chi nodded upon hearing this, and Wang Ruoxie sent her into the cabin of the Soul Boat with a thought.

Then, without further hesitation, he swiftly rushed towards the Celestial Sword Sect.

Within just a few breaths, he arrived outside the Celestial Sword Sect, with numerous bodies scattered on the ground, limbs severed everywhere, and many corpses resembling dried-up husks, drained of blood and flesh — extremely terrifying.

"Indeed, it's the Blood Demon Sect."

A cold gleam flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes, and he instantly dashed into the Celestial Sword Sect.

Along the way, the ground was covered with bodies in Celestial Sword Sect disciple's attire, blood flowing in rivers.

Wang Ruoxie's expression grew darker; among these bodies were even faces he was quite familiar with.

"Blood Demon Sect, I will eliminate you!"

Wang Ruoxie slowly uttered words filled with chilling killing intent.

...

At this time, outside the main hall of the Celestial Sword Sect, tens of thousands of sect disciples were surrounded by a force of hundreds of thousands.

It's worth noting, even in the past, the Celestial Sword Sect had one hundred thousand disciples. After years of diligent development, just the Outer Sect had nearly two hundred thousand, with thousands of Inner Sect and Core disciples, and nearly a thousand True Disciples.

Now, only less than seventy thousand remained, meaning at least two hundred thousand disciples had died at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect.

Of course, the surviving tens of thousands of Celestial Sword Sect disciples were mostly Core disciples and the highest-cultivated True disciples.

After years of dedicated cultivation, nearly all these Core and True disciples had reached the Essence Pill Realm, with many attaining the Middle Stage and Late Stage of the Essence Pill Realm.

Xiao Ningyue and Zong Yuzhe were naturally among them; Zong Yuzhe had Ninth Layer of Essence Pill Realm cultivation, while Xiao Ningyue had broken through to the Acupoint Condensation Realm. Though it was just First Layer of Acupoint Condensation Realm, her power was worlds apart compared to when she was in the Essence Pill Realm.

It's safe to say, without her, the Celestial Sword Sect might have ceased to exist by now.

And the sect leader Chu Li, as well as elders like Xiao Jingyu, mostly had Ninth Layer Essence Pill Realm cultivation.

As for the opposing Celestial Demon Sect, not only did they have a numerical advantage, their overall strength was superior to the Celestial Sword Sect.

Most importantly, these Blood Demon Sect members all had blood wings behind them, covered in terrifying magical runes.

At the forefront were five middle-aged men in blood-red robes, exuding a chilling aura likely surpassing that of Chu Li and the others.

Especially the towering middle-aged man, evidently a leader, who possessed First Layer Acupoint Condensation Realm cultivation.

Although they had no blood wings, their foreheads bore a blood-red magical rune mark, and their eyes were all turned into blood-red.

At this moment, Chu Li, Xiao Jingyu, and others, along with tens of thousands of Celestial Sword Sect disciples, were watching the hundreds of thousands of Blood Demon Sect army with grave expressions.

"Chu Li, Xiao Jingyu, if you voluntarily surrender and become my Blood Slaves, I will give you a chance to live; Otherwise, today your entire Celestial Sword Sect will be flattened."

The towering middle-aged man looked indifferently at Chu Li, Xiao Jingyu, and others, slowly speaking.

"Tang Xuansi, who would have thought, a dignified prince like you would degrade yourself to join the Blood Demon Sect, practicing evil methods, becoming such a freak neither human nor ghost."

Chu Li looked at the towering middle-aged man with cold eyes.

"Ignorant fool, the power of the Blood Demon Sect is beyond your comprehension. I can tell you that soon, the entire Five Domains of Yun Province, and even the Nine Provinces of the Yuanwu Continent, will be the domain of the Blood Demon Sect."

Tang Xuansi sneered and said, "By that time, everyone and every force will submit to the Blood Demon Sect, and I, Tang Xuansi, will be one step below greatness, above all."

"No matter how strong the Blood Demon Sect is, attempting to destroy my Celestial Sword Sect will cost you dearly."

Chu Li's eyes revealed resolve as he said, "Even in death, we will never surrender to the Blood Demon Sect, becoming monsters like you."

"Never surrender, fight to the death."

"Fight to the bitter end, perish together."

"Rather be shattered jade than remain intact tiles."

...

Tens of thousands of Celestial Sword Sect disciples echoed in unison, their voices shaking the sky, piercing through the clouds.

"Master, why waste words with them? Just annihilate them, then after consuming their Essence Blood, refine them into the lowest level Blood Demons."

A purple-haired middle-aged man beside Tang Xuansi said coldly.

"Indeed, I originally intended to give them a chance to live for old friendship's sake, but since they seek death, let it be."

Tang Xuansi nodded, then shouted to the hundreds of thousands of Blood Demon Sect army behind him, "Kill them all."

As his voice fell, the colossal Blood Demon Sect army didn't hesitate, flapping their blood wings, and rushed towards Chu Li and the others.

"Kill!"

The tens of thousands of Celestial Sword Sect disciples also didn't hesitate, charging at the Blood Demon Sect army.

Instantly, the sky was filled with the sounds of battle cries, killing intent, and the two armies of over two hundred thousand clashed fiercely.

Chu Li, Xiao Jingyu, and other sect leaders, along with Xiao Ningyue, Zong Yuzhe, and the strongest disciples, rushed towards the Blood Demon Sect army.

In the entire Celestial Sword Sect, only Xiao Ningyue had Acupoint Condensation Realm cultivation. Her target was naturally Tang Xuansi, who also had First Layer Acupoint Condensation Realm cultivation.

After slaying dozens of Blood Demon Sect men with one sword, Xiao Ningyue arrived before Tang Xuansi.

"I never expected the Celestial Sword Sect to have such a peerless prodigy, only twenty years old, with such extraordinary cultivation power, and possessing incomparable beauty."

Tang Xuansi looked at Xiao Ningyue's stunning visage, licked his lips, and spoke.
