Lei Shuang stumbled and fell into the midst of the spells released by the righteous cultivators.
Behind her, Jiang Ying and Feng Jin exchanged a glance and made a tacit decision to retreat into the courtyard.
With flying sword techniques, fireball spells, wind blade techniques, and various other spells converging towards her, Lei Shuang turned pale with fear and screamed, "Jiang Ying, you vile woman! I shouldn't have saved you!"
In a frantic attempt to escape, she quickly performed a hand seal and flashed away, narrowly avoiding most of the attacks.
Safely out of harm's way, Lei Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she noticed a strange smell in the air.
What was that smell?
Following the scent, she turned her head and saw a small flame burning at the end of her hair.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!!!!" Lei Shuang panicked, trying to extinguish the flames while hopping towards the courtyard.
The righteous cultivators burst into the courtyard and, upon seeing the scene, their expressions changed drastically.
A woman in a black robe with a severed arm was confronting the Celestial Sovereign Yuan Yi, with the demon sect's left and right guardians present. It was easy for everyone to guess her identity.
The Demon Lord, Nangong Yin.
Several elders from other sects, who had witnessed Nangong Yin in action before, hesitated in fear.
It was well-known throughout the Three Realms that the Demon Lord Nangong Yin once led an attack on the Fuyun Sect and, despite only losing an arm, managed to break through the Fuyun Sect's protective grand formation while fighting three great Ascension Realm celestial sovereigns.
No one dared to face Nangong Yin's might directly.
Yuan Yi was also a practitioner of the Ascension Realm, but facing Nangong Yin alone, he had no chance of winning.
However, Nangong Yin had been injured three hundred years ago and had rarely appeared in the Three Realms since. Disciples who entered the Dao later did not recognize her.
Seeing the sect elders stop, the younger disciples who rushed forward were forcibly pulled back.
For a moment, the cultivators at the courtyard's entrance stood still, not daring to advance.
Yan Zhao was pushed behind Yuan Yi. With more and more people gathering in the courtyard, the scene grew chaotic.
Ling Jiancheng, who hated evil fiercely, and Tu Shan Yu, who was not afraid of the demon sect's power, broke through the courtyard door and entered.
Ren Qingyue was blocked by a wind wall. Seeing this, Ling Jiancheng rushed over, "Junior Sister!"
Tu Shan Yu also recognized Ren Qingyue and approached her, "You are a disciple of Celestial Sovereign Yuan Qing?"
Ren Qingyue had no mood to respond to others and merely nodded in acknowledgment, her attention focused on Yan Zhao.
Jiang Ying and Lei Shuang retreated into the courtyard.
Feng Jin had noticed Ren Qingyue from the start, and Ren Qingyue had also seen her.
Ren Qingyue's eyes were filled with hostility, while Feng Jin lowered her gaze. In the current situation, no words could be trusted.
Jiang Ying helplessly reported to Nangong Yin, "There are too many of them."
Nangong Yin had been focused all along, observing Yan Zhao from a distance, trying to discern her relationship with Yan Yuanqing.
