This roar shook the Inner Heaven and Earth, making the mountains tremble.

Apparently, the continuous battles had caused fractures in the Inner Heaven and Earth of Jinshan Temple, so that even the cultivators outside could hear the sound, which instantly caused an uproar.

"Damn, is the Daoist Sect's hidden strength coming down from the mountain?"

"My God, what on earth has been happening recently, with the hidden powers coming out one after another?"

"Damn it, what's the battle situation inside? Those seniors who just went in, come out and relay the information!"

"Or, does anyone here have the power to take me in for a look?"

"I'm so curious that I can't stand it; it feels like there are ants crawling all over me, I'm shaking all over, almost unable to breathe, could some senior be kind enough to take me in for a look, I swear just one glance, really, just one look and I'll never look again, please, seniors!!"

Numerous cultivators twitched at the corners of their mouths, looking at the impatient young man in the Profound Communication Realm among the crowd, and a thought sprang forth unbidden in their minds.

Is this guy about to become possessed by demons?

Should we rid the community of this menace and eliminate the demon in advance...?

...

Inside Jinshan Temple.

Three old Daoists descended like meteors in front of Lin Heng, stirring up clouds of dust everywhere.

The wind came.

The smoke and dust dispersed.

The three old Daoists' robes fluttered as they glared angrily, staring fixedly at the several hidden powers of the Buddhist Sect in front of them.

The youngest among them, Ancestral Master Lian Zhou, who had inherited Master Zhang's fiery temper, was so enraged upon seeing the condition of the young people behind him bathed in blood that he cursed fiercely:

"Damn you, beating my Daoist Sect's disciples like this, I'm gonna kill you bastards today!!"

With a swish.

His figure vanished, appearing in front of Illusionary Mustard Seed on Little Sumeru Mountain in the blink of an eye. Without any fancy moves, he delivered a powerful slap imbued with Immortal Platform power straight to Illusionary Mustard Seed's face.

With a smack!

Illusionary Mustard Seed, who had just stepped into the Immortal Platform realm, was instantly sent flying into the sky, spitting blood as he crashed to the ground in a perfect arc.

His formerly pristine kasaya was instantly covered in dust.

"You...you!"

Illusionary Mustard Seed crawled up from the ground, wiped his face, and upon seeing the golden blood on his sleeves, he was nearly driven mad with rage.

From a young age.

With exceptional talent, he was the universally acclaimed Saint Heir of Little Sumeru Mountain.

Holding a high status, even elder monks had to bow to him, and his peers could only eat his dust.

In his life, he had never been hurt by anyone!

Let alone suffered such a humiliating and intense slap!

"I, a dignified Immortal Platform cultivator, and you slap my face?"

Illusionary Mustard Seed's eyes burned with rage.

"So what if I slap you? Go to hell!"

Ancestral Master Lian Zhou, blazing like fire, zoomed in again, and this time Illusionary Mustard Seed reacted swiftly, instantly raising a Buddhist Sect halo in front of him.

But just as he blocked the old Daoist's mighty slap, a sudden cool breeze from behind accompanied a sharp slap, landing directly on the back of his head.

He was slapped from the air to the ground, and even his skull faintly radiated Buddha Light.

"Ugh... this is too much..."

Illusionary Mustard Seed stood up again, his face, once pure and holy, now mixed with blood and mud.

"Ah! Ahhh!!!"

Illusionary Mustard Seed, who had always been held up like a star, was almost enraged to the point of spitting blood. Furious, he directed his gaze toward the old Daoist who had attacked him, exclaiming:

"You, being seniors, are ganging up on the young, what kind of ability is that?"

Bringing this up only infuriated Ancestral Master Lian Zhou even more.

"You're quite something, having the nerve to talk about bullying the few with many? I'll beat you to death today!!"

With that, he turned into a streamer again, rushing towards Illusionary Mustard Seed.

The Daoist in the sky, acting on his own whim with no regard for accusations of bullying, rushed in and joined the beating.

Illusionary Mustard Seed, shocked and enraged, hastily summoned his Dharma Aspect.

But having just entered the Immortal Platform and never having experienced a true battle, he was no match for two Daoist Sect hidden powers.

The two old Daoists didn't even bother to use their Dharma Aspects, directly charging in for a beatdown.

The cultivators who snuck into the Inner Heaven and Earth were stunned by the scene before them.

"Wow, is this the hidden strength of Daoism?"

"As if bullying the young with the old isn't enough, they're also using many to bully the few?"

One mighty figure protested, "It's too much, especially that other old Daoist, why didn't he join in?"

"Pfft..."

Several nearby cultivators nearly burst out laughing.

Seriously.

We thought you were speaking up for that young monk.

Turns out, you were just upset there wasn't a three-on-one?

Quite the wolf here, a bit more ruthless than a hardliner!

"But all jokes aside, who'd have thought that today's battle would bring even Daoism's hidden powers here?"

"Seems like, even though Daoism has declined, it's still not to be trifled with lightly."

Some sighed, while others nodded in agreement:

"I bet Master Zhang couldn't stand it any longer and sent them over."

"Daoism always protects its own, and it's only in recent years, with all the Great Holy Lands busy with their own affairs, that Daoists outside have faced so much bullying."

"But today, the Buddhist Sect ganging up four-to-one has clearly enraged the Daoist Sect."

"Indeed."

...

By then, Illusionary Mustard Seed was being beaten so badly he was scurrying like a rat.

He had no choice; despite being a once-in-a-generation prodigy, his cultivation time was short and he hadn't reached Great Success.

Enter the world for the first time, only to face a duel against two Daoist hidden powers.

No matter how extraordinarily talented he was, he was destined to find it hard to muster any resistance.

"What should we do?"

Jie Sheng and Destruction, looking at the situation, were ashen-faced.

On the other hand, the Ancestral Master Amaterasu stood up again, his gaze sinister, transmitting secretly to them:

"Ignore him, follow me, let's kill that Daoist!"

With those words, he ignited his dwindling energy and blood, his entire body turning into a fireball, shooting straight for Lin Heng.

"Do or die!"

Jie Sheng and Destruction gritted their teeth, leaping up as massive Buddha Lotuses materialized in their hands, hurling them fiercely downward to engulf the young Daoist.

And the old Daoist who hadn't joined the three-on-one simply stood silently in front of Lin Heng. He stomped the ground, and the Celestial Venerable Dharma Aspect rose up, its palms pushing forward hard, resisting the Buddha Lotus.

Meanwhile, this old Daoist, senior to even Master Zhang and going by the Daoist name Gui Xu from a thousand years ago, pushed his hands forward, producing Yin Yang Fish.

The Ancestral Master Amaterasu, making a last desperate stand by burning his energy and blood, was forcefully halted a mere yard away by the Yin Yang Fish.

"Ahhhh!!"

The Ancestral Master Amaterasu roared, golden light splattered from his body like fire, while beneath Gui Xu Daoist's feet, cracks appeared, his Daoist robe billowing up.

His face expressionless, he murmured the Wudang Sword Control True Spell.

"The earth carries all things, I wander the void."

"Offerings to Lv Zu above, following my heart below."

"The great Dao is vast, let the divine weapon obey."

"I command!"

With a soft shout.

The earth trembled, countless dust floated into the air, and grass and trees whirled all around.
