Chapter 1222
Where is the Beauty? A Man in a Green Robe Bows and Bows
Right now, in the sky.
Ye Yang lightly gripped the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, and with the infusion of his magic power, the sword instantly emitted a lustrous azure light.
Then the sword transformed into a ten-foot-long azure rainbow and sped off toward Lingxiao City of the Dao Alliance.
At this moment, Ye Yang was in the sky, speeding along.
Especially when you are high in the sky, you can see that in the void of the Star Sea Demon Realm, countless demonic energies and spiritual energies collide and form chaotic currents.
Just as Ye Yang was riding the sword light through the sky, he looked down and saw a series of urgent shouts coming from below.
He raised an eyebrow, slowed the sword's gleam, and looked down.
Below lay a vast expanse of marshland, with flat land on both sides. Ten thousand acres of spiritual fields stretched out along the marshland, and the "spiritual rice" in the fields was growing well.
A faint spiritual aura lingered on countless golden rice ears, and dozens of spiritual vein wooden houses were scattered along the ridges of the fields, while freshly picked spiritual herbs were drying in front of and behind the houses.
In the distance, figures moved about on the scaffolding of several mines.
The faint rumbling of ore mining could be heard, mostly from some young disciples.
"They are affiliated families of the Flying Heaven Sect."
Upon seeing the disciples' attire, Ye Yang quickly realized something.
Since the Flying Heaven Gate moved to the Star Sea Demon Realm.
As the strongest families among the subordinate families of the Flying Heaven Sect, the Li family and the Zhang family with their forks also migrated to the Star Sea Demon Realm with the expansion of the Flying Heaven Sect's territory.
Previously, with the protection of the Flying Heaven Gate, the two races cultivated spiritual fields and mined mineral veins here, and had already established themselves here.
Originally, with the spiritual veins newly established, minerals being mined, and spiritual rice beginning to grow, it should have been a thriving and prosperous scene.
But at this moment, this peaceful place is shrouded in a layer of dark gray demonic energy.
At the edge of the spirit field, dozens of cultivators were struggling to resist the invasion of demonic energy, looking extremely disheveled.
"Quick! Use the Mind-Cleansing Talisman to protect your mind! This demonic energy is extremely malevolent; it can find its way into your consciousness and erode it!"
A young monk dressed in coarse cloth shorts roared.
He is Li Shi, a collateral descendant of the Li family, whose cultivation has just reached the level of a martial artist.
Holding a rusty iron sword, he was desperately swinging it, trying to dispel the demonic energy that had entangled the spirit rice.
But the demonic energy, as if alive, deftly bypassed the iron sword and attached itself to the rice stalks once more.
The once golden and plump rice ears instantly turned black and withered, emitting a faint fishy stench.
Not far away, a cultivator from the Zhang family was carrying a giant mountain-splitting axe, the blade of which shimmered with a faint spiritual light.
His cultivation had reached the Purple Mansion True Person realm, and he was the leader of the Zhang family's expansion into the Star Sea Demon Realm this time.
However, even a True Person of the Purple Mansion was no match for this overwhelming demonic energy.
His forehead was also covered with a dense layer of sweat.
Each powerful strike dispels a small patch of demonic energy.
But the demonic energy surged in from the depths of the swamp like a tide, instantly filling the area that had just been cleared.
"Damn it! This demonic energy is too ferocious; it's impossible to kill it all! If this continues, this year's spirit rice will be completely ruined!"
The middle-aged cultivator roared, his arm trembling slightly from the excessive force, and a trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, during the attack just now, demonic energy had invaded his meridians.
In front of the wooden house next to the spirit field, several young clan children hid behind the door, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
Twelve-year-old Li Erya tightly gripped her six-year-old sister's hand, watching her father, Li Shi, being forced back by demonic energy. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled with sobs.
"Sister, will Father be alright? This demonic energy is terrifying; it's turned the rice black..."
Zhang Gou Dan, the ten-year-old boy from the Zhang family standing next to him, bit his lip and tried to remain calm as he comforted him.
"Don't be afraid! My father said that we are an affiliated family of the Flying Heaven Sect, and the important figures of the Flying Heaven Sect will definitely come to save us!"
Despite his words, his voice trembled uncontrollably, and his small hands gripped the door frame tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Ye Yang hovered in mid-air, and a quick scan with his spiritual sense revealed the truth.
These demonic energies are the aftershocks of the spatial rifts. Although their power is much weaker than that at the rifts themselves, they are imbued with the evil power of space.
The magic power of ordinary cultivators is not enough to completely purify it; they can only barely resist it.
Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Then, his figure swayed, and like a light falling leaf, he slowly descended to the edge of the spirit field.
"Who is that...?"
Li Shi was the first to notice the unusual activity. When he looked up, he saw a figure in blue standing on the edge of the field, dressed in a simple blue Taoist robe.
A faint blue light surrounded him. The light was not particularly dazzling, but upon closer inspection, it was extremely sharp and seemed capable of piercing a person's eyes.
The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade hovered beside him, their sheaths still drawn, yet they exuded a chilling aura that instantly halted the rampant demonic energy around them.
Li Shi's pupils shrank sharply, and he almost dropped the iron sword in his hand. His voice trembled with disbelief.
"That sword... it looks so familiar, could it be the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword of Dao Ancestor Ye! Dao Ancestor Ye of the Flying Heaven Sect has arrived!"
These words exploded like a thunderclap among the crowd.
All the cultivators who were resisting the demonic energy stopped what they were doing and looked up.
The middle-aged cultivator, in particular, wiped the sweat and black blood from his face. When he saw Ye Yang's appearance, his body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with shock and awe.
"It really is Ye Daozu!"
Li Erya, hiding behind the door, stared wide-eyed.
She had seen a portrait of Ye Daozu in the family ancestral hall.
The person in the portrait was majestic and solemn, like a god, but the real person standing not far away was even more awe-inspiring than the portrait.
She tugged at her sister's clothes, her voice filled with shock and excitement.
"Sister, it's...it's the great hero in the portrait! Daozu Ye has come to save us!"
Ye Yang ignored the reactions of the crowd, his gaze calmly sweeping over the severely damaged spirit field, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable power.
"This is demonic energy leaking from a spatial rift, imbued with malevolent power, and cannot be purified by ordinary means."
"You all step aside to avoid being affected by the demonic energy."
Upon hearing Ye Yang's instructions, Li Shi and Zhang Tiezhu quickly told everyone to retreat.
The cultivators retreated to the front of the wooden house, their eyes fixed on Ye Yang, filled with anticipation and awe. Zhang Gou Dan held Li Er Ya's hand and whispered.
"See, I told you the Flying Heaven Sect wouldn't abandon us. It turns out that Dao Ancestor Ye himself came!"
Ye Yang raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, infusing a wisp of pure Dao power into his fingertips.
The moment the Dao power was injected, the sword instantly burst forth with a dazzling blue light.
Countless mighty sword energies surged forth like a raging tide, sweeping towards the demonic energy in the spirit field.
The moment the demonic energy came into contact with the righteous sword energy, it emitted a piercing "sizzling" sound.
Like ice and snow melting quickly upon contact with fire, it turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air without leaving a trace.
Li Shi's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. He had never seen such powerful sword energy before.
Only then did he realize that the demonic energy he had tried so hard to damage before was so vulnerable in the face of this mighty sword energy.
"Wow...so powerful! Daozu Ye is truly amazing!"
The middle-aged cultivator muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Only then did he realize that the black bloodstains on his arm, left by the demonic energy, were slowly fading under the aftershocks of the sword energy.
In an instant, even the pain in my meridians disappeared.
Only then did he truly understand the terrifying strength of the legendary Daoist Ye.
At this moment, Ye Yang looked at the vast demonic energy in front of him with a solemn expression.
With a slight flick of his wrist, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword drew a graceful arc in mid-air, its azure, majestic sword energy enveloping the entire spiritual field like a celestial canopy, firmly enveloping all the remaining demonic energy within.
Followed by.
With a flick of his left hand, the Evil King Blade transformed into a black streak of light, unleashing a chilling, bone-piercing blade aura. The blade aura intertwined with the sword aura, forming a curtain of light that was alternating between blue and black.
Wherever the light barrier passed, the demonic energy was completely purified. Even the source of the demonic energy that kept gushing out from the depths of the swamp was cut off by this powerful force, and not a trace of demonic energy seeped out.
Just one stick of incense.
The demonic energy that had enveloped the marshland had vanished without a trace.
Sunlight streamed through the clouds, illuminating the sacred fields.
The rice in the fields has also regained its vitality, and the blackened and withered rice ears have gradually returned to their golden and plump appearance.
The eerie atmosphere in the air vanished, leaving only a rich spiritual energy and the fragrance of the spiritual rice, which refreshed the mind and body.
Ye Yang sheathed his sword, walked to the edge of the spirit field, raised his hand and waved, a soft blue spiritual light shining on the most severely damaged area.
Wherever the light touched, the completely withered rice ears quickly sprouted tender green shoots, growing even more vigorously than before.
He turned to look at the crowd behind him and spoke.
"The spatial barrier is about to break, and more demonic energy will likely leak out. You must immediately organize your people to set up purification talismans around the base and reinforce the defensive array."
"If you encounter an insurmountable crisis, immediately send a message to the Flying Heaven Sect for assistance."
After he finished speaking, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword transformed into sword light once more, steadily supporting his figure as he rose into the air again.
The cultivators all looked up, watching the azure sword light gradually disappear into the horizon, their eyes filled with gratitude and awe.
The people on the ground hurriedly bowed and paid their respects, their voices trembling with excitement.
"Thank you for saving us, Dao Ancestor! We will certainly live up to your trust and protect our territory!"
Li Erya, who had been hiding behind the door, pulled her younger sister out and watched Ye Yang's figure gradually disappear into the sky, her eyes filled with admiration.
"I will definitely become a powerful cultivator like Daozu Ye in the future, to protect my people!"
Ye Yang no longer knew what they were thinking.
He rode the azure sword light and ascended into the sky again, speeding towards Lingxiao City.
Along the way, Ye Yang could feel the demonic energy fluctuations in the Star Sea Demon Realm more and more clearly.
In many places, it was even discovered that those gathering places had converged into small waves of demonic energy.
As Ye Yang approached Lingxiao City, he came to a valley and heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from below.
"Hold on, everyone! Just hold on until the Dao Alliance arrives..."
A leading miner roared, but before he could finish speaking, a shadowy figure slashed his arm.
Blood gushed out instantly, and after being tainted by demonic energy, it foamed up into black bubbles.
Ye Yang's eyes narrowed, and he flicked his fingertips.
Immediately afterwards, a streak of cyan sword energy flew out from the sword and fell into the valley like a meteor.
Where the sword energy swept past, the howling demonic shadows instantly vanished, leaving only wisps of black smoke.
Upon seeing the sword light, these people froze in place. When they looked up and saw Ye Yang in the air, their eyes instantly lit up with hope, and they all knelt down to pay their respects.
"Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life!"
Ye Yang simply nodded and did not land. Instead, he left a wisp of spiritual light containing purifying power in the air to protect the spiritual energy barrier of the mine. Then, with a flash of sword light, he continued forward.
Finally, at noon on the second day, Ye Yang arrived outside Lingxiao City.
Along the way, Ye Yang rescued five families and cultivators who had been attacked by demonic energy.
Each time he made a move, he became increasingly aware of the seriousness of the spatial rift leaking demonic energy.
He knew that the second wave of demonic invasion was probably imminent.
If not handled properly, the entire Star Sea Demon Realm's sects and forces may be plunged into crisis.
Outside Lingxiao City, there is an impregnable defensive array.
The array was filled with brilliant light, almost completely isolating the demonic energy outside, while the city was rich in spiritual energy, forming a stark contrast with the chaotic scene outside.
Ye Yang felt relieved and increased the speed of his sword light, just about to fly towards the entrance of Lingxiao City.
Just as Ye Yang was about to reach the entrance, he seemed to sense something and turned around. Then, he saw a slender figure suddenly rushing towards him from the side.
He raised an eyebrow and turned to look. He saw a woman dressed in a blue dress, with an exquisite face and a jade hairpin in her hair. She was surrounded by a faint water-attribute spiritual energy.
However, the woman had bloodstains at the corner of her mouth and her clothes were torn in many places, indicating that she had been in a fierce battle.
"Fellow Daoist!" (End of Chapter)
