Chapter 179: Chapter 175 Xuantian Sect

In the Yun Meng Swamp, suddenly there were strange noises, and the demons retreated like a tide.

This scene left the people of Bai Lu Academy dumbfounded. What is going on?

In different parts of Yun Meng Swamp, demonic riots occurred, but instead of attacking, they were retreating. This caused the cultivators from different parts of Yun Meng Swamp to fly into the sky, looking at each other.

They didn’t understand what happened.

"The demons seem to have retreated," someone said.

Since humans invaded Yun Meng Swamp, the demons have shown signs of unrest, leading to fierce battles in various parts of the swamp.

Now, the sudden retreat of the demons, what has happened?

In the forefront, gradually more cultivators were flying through the sky, coming this way.

Cultivators gradually gathered, converging more and more in different positions.

"The demons have retreated," someone said.

"Was the Demon King suppressed on the front lines?"

"It’s possible." The people gathered did not leave immediately but waited for news.

As time passed, human cultivators also gradually retreated.

Among them, there were some top cultivators from other parts of the Da Li Dynasty, who came to Yun Meng Swamp not to rescue Li Fan, but to take this opportunity to invade Yun Meng Swamp and hunt for what they needed.

However, now that the demons have retreated, they do not intend to delve deeper into Yun Meng Swamp, considering the terrifying power of those Demon Kings that appeared later.

"Withdraw."

"Withdraw from Yun Meng Swamp."

In various parts of Yun Meng Swamp, humans were also withdrawing like a tide.

The crowd from Bai Lu Academy seemed a bit unwilling. Withdraw?

They still hoped to seize this opportunity to invade the heart of Yun Meng Swamp and see how Mr. Qu was doing.

The people exchanged glances, but then an elderly figure sighed and said, "The Demon Kings of Yun Meng Swamp have emerged, and there are even Seven Realm Demon Kings among them. We have no chance, let’s withdraw."

The crowd nodded, all looking somewhat dejected.

"Bai Lu Academy disciples retreat."

Below, inside Yun Meng Swamp, the faces of Huang Xiong and Lu Yuan were somewhat grim. Withdraw?

At the same time, in the depths of Yun Meng Swamp, beyond the blood-red mist, the All Demon Kings retreated here and learned the order of the Demon Saint from Bailong’s mouth.

They gazed at Li Fan and others with hostile eyes.

Especially the Kui Niu Demon King, who was staring intently at the Old Blind Man.

"What, you want to try?" The Old Blind Man seemed to sense the gaze and said.

The Kui Niu Demon King snorted coldly but turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to concede but not daring to provoke.

The Old Blind Man’s sword strike was still fresh in his memory.

"I will escort you this far. The humans have also begun to retreat," Bailong looked at Li Fan and others and said. With this, the chaos ended.

"Thank you, Lord Bailong." Li Fan cupped his hands and said, "Farewell."

"Farewell," Bailong responded.

"Farewell," Qu Qingfeng also said.

"Take care, sir," Bailong replied.

The group continued to fly using sword control, heading out of Yun Meng Swamp.

"Xiao Fan, this journey should not be disclosed to outsiders. Return quietly, and I will remain unseen," the Old Blind Man said. He didn’t plan to reveal his tracks.

But just in case, he would watch from the shadows to prevent the court from causing trouble again.

After all, the Imperial Extreme Sect, as well as Xue Laoguai, had caused trouble before.

"Master, can you take someone back to Li Mountain for me?" Li Fan asked.

"Who?" the Old Blind Man inquired curiously.

"A martial artist with extraordinary innate talent. I plan to have him follow Master Xing for cultivation at Li Mountain," Li Fan said, seemingly remembering something, and then looked at Mr. Qu, "Sir, you won’t mind me taking someone, will you?"

Previously, it was agreed that once Mr. Qu let Huang Xiong go, he would depart for Li Mountain.

But now that the Old Blind Man was here, he could take him to Li Mountain along the way.

"Don’t worry about me. You discovered him, and besides, Huang Xiong isn’t suitable for me. Going to Li Mountain is his fortune," Qu Qingfeng said with a smile.

This was Huang Xiong’s destiny.

"Since he’s the one you have chosen, he must be good," the Old Blind Man nodded, adding that due to the court’s matter, the disciples of Li Mountain had gone down the mountain, and there was no new blood in Li Mountain.

...

The boundary between Yun Meng City and Yun Meng Swamp was bustling with activity.

Various cultivators returned one after another, counting their harvests, with many having reaped abundant rewards.

"This time, the army dispatched to Yun Meng Swamp seems to have been a complete victory."

"The demons of Yun Meng Swamp were defeated and retreated, naturally making it a total victory. It is said that even the Seven Realm Demons appeared, but with the top Great Cultivators present, the Seven Realm Demons were also driven back."

The people chatted, eyes filled with admiration, looking in a certain direction.

The battle that invaded Yun Meng Swamp involved not only the cultivators of Yun Meng City but also forces from all over the Da Li Dynasty, even including Seventh Realm Practitioners.

They witnessed the grace of these top practitioners.

It seemed that the forces of Yun Meng City were still somewhat lacking.

In this battle, Bai Lu Academy had its spotlight stolen completely.

And Mr. Qu of the Seventh Realm, it was said, was also deeply trapped in Yun Meng Swamp, having gone to search for Li Fan, his fate unknown.

Thinking of Li Fan, they felt only a moment’s remorse in their hearts, lamenting that talent met with adversity.

After all, to the majority of cultivators, no matter how talented you are, you are ultimately just a passerby in life, fleeting and soon forgotten.

The battle of the day in the Seventh Realm, involving Qu Qingfeng, Xue Laoguai, Bailong, and Li Fan’s sword intent, shook Yun Meng City, but as this battle unfolded, a new batch of prominent figures emerged. Whether they were Seventh Realm Practitioners or other top prodigies, they gradually overshadowed the figures of Li Fan and Qu Qingfeng.

As they collected the battle’s spoils, how many remembered the initial intent of this war... who remembered the charge into Yun Meng Swamp to rescue the young hero of Bai Lu Academy?

Perhaps some remembered, but it no longer mattered.

At this moment, inside Yun Meng Swamp, a group was flying through the sky, heading outside Yun Meng Swamp.

This group was none other than Li Fan and Qu Qingfeng, with the Old Blind Man already absent, not wanting to reveal his presence.

"Who is that?"

At this time, many people were looking at the group of Qu Qingfeng, puzzled.

"Mr. Qu."

"Li Fan."

Many recognized them, several showing surprised expressions.

Li Fan was alive?

Had Mr. Qu really rescued him from Yun Meng Swamp?

The group continued flying using sword control, heading towards Yun Meng City.

At this point, in another direction, a group of figures stood isolated in a region, with the surrounding area like stars surrounding the moon.

This group exuded an extraordinary aura, and the person at the forefront had an immortal demeanor, his gaze fleeting towards Qu Qingfeng’s direction.

Qu Qingfeng seemed aware and also looked in that direction, smiling politely at the elder in the lead.

He could naturally tell that the other party was a Seventh Realm Practitioner.

Forces with Seventh Realm Practitioners in the Da Li Dynasty were essentially top-tier forces, coming to Yun Meng Swamp, perhaps to hunt Great Demons and seize Demon Cores.

"Could it be Qu Qingfeng of Bai Lu Academy?" the elder smiled in acknowledgment and said aloud.

"Indeed, it is I," Qu Qingfeng paused, then replied courteously from a distance: "How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"

"Xuantian Sect, Tian Chenzi," the other responded with a smile, causing Qu Qingfeng to show a tinge of surprise.

Outside the Da Li Dynasty’s court, there were thousands of sects, including some top sect forces like Li Mountain, naturally at the top of Da Li.

But outside of Li Mountain, there were still many top sects scattered throughout Da Li territory, and for this reason, the court could not achieve total unification, but instead, it supported some top sects to win over great families.

This Xuantian Sect was a top sect force in the western region of the Da Li Dynasty.

"So it’s a fellow Daoist from Xuantian Sect," Qu Qingfeng responded politely: "Today, I have matters to attend to at Bai Lu Academy. If you have time, feel free to visit Bai Lu Academy as a guest."

"Are you coming from Yun Meng Swamp, Mr. Qu?" Tian Chenzi saw Qu Qingfeng intending to leave but continued to ask with a smile.

"Yes," Qu Qingfeng nodded.

"Are these two ladies demons?" Tian Chenzi’s gaze fell on Aunt Mei and Yue Qingqiu, his face still carrying a smile.

"Bai Lu Academy is named after the sacred deer. Surely you have heard of it, and although she is a demon, her mind is pure and kind. I am taking her to the academy for guidance," Qu Qingfeng replied warmly, still with a smile: "Farewell."

"Sir, you are righteous, but a demon is still a demon. Can it really be taught?" Tian Chenzi seemed a bit relentless, his eyes then falling on Li Fan: "This young man was the Li Mountain disciple taken by demons, right? How did he escape from them?"

His journey into Yun Meng Swamp revealed depths even beyond his expectations.

Li Fan was taken by All Demon Kings of Yun Meng Swamp, yet how did Qu Qingfeng bring him out?

From this, it seemed Qu Qingfeng had reached the depths of Yun Meng Swamp?

Li Fan furrowed his brow. Mr. Qu was gentle by nature, but this Tian Chenzi was somewhat aggressive.

Gathering many cultivators around, they looked towards the two’s conversation.

Mr. Qu was the strongest cultivator in Bai Lu Academy.

But Tian Chenzi led human cultivators in attacking Yun Meng Swamp, his power unfathomable, as the leading figure.

And he wasn’t wrong; how did Mr. Qu bring Li Fan back? Did he venture into the deepest part of Yun Meng Swamp?

Li Fan sensed someone watching him, looking towards a youth behind Tian Chenzi. That youth had an exceptional temperament, smiling, and graceful.

"Li Mountain, genius sword cultivator?"

The young man watched Li Fan with interest. He had long heard of Li Mountain’s reputation.

"No need to explain to you, fellow Daoist," Qu Qingfeng maintained a warm smile but turned to leave.

A gentleman treats others with courtesy, but it does not mean they can be pushed around.
