"Yang Ji, come out, stop being a coward!" Xing Xiong continued to taunt.
"Come out quickly, let me chop you into pieces. I’ll chop you up and then mince you, mince you and then chop you, chopping and mincing nonstop!"
"So you won’t come out, huh? Later, I will suppress the disciples of your Wuji Dao Sect one by one, burn them alive with Nine Yin Demonic Fire. It’s all your fault, their tragic end, all because of you."
"No, not all at once. Just burn them half to death, then I’ll use supreme techniques to heal them, and then burn them half to death again. This cycle will repeat, making the disciples of your Wuji Dao Sect overflow with resentment, wailing endlessly, hahaha."
Xing Xiong kept on shouting provocations.
Tian Xie and Mo Jie watched with cold eyes on the side. The three demons gathered together, their expressions cold, enveloping all directions with a murderous aura, putting immense pressure on the Wuji Dao Sect.
"Seems like Xing Xiong still holds quite a grudge against me. Looks like I didn’t beat him enough back on the Battlefield of Inheritances," Yang Ji muttered to himself as he eyed the scene below.
"Boss, what should we do? Just let him keep on shouting like this?" Buddha Child said with a frown.
"Naturally not, and it’s about time too. Time for the harvest," Yang Ji said with a cryptic smile, holding the Wuji Order in his hand, and unnoticeably entered the Wuji Dao Sect.
Kuju Palace.
Main hall.
At this moment, all the experts within the sect had gathered here.
There were hundreds of Mahayana cultivators and dozens of Tribulation Immortals, which represented the entire foundation of the Wuji Dao Sect.
The Immortal Artifact Wuji Sword, Chun Ye, Ji Shen, Yang Daoren, Ji Jiang, Chang Sheng, Luo Lie, and many other elders were all present.
As the Heavenly Demons shouted outside, the atmosphere inside the hall became heavy, and everyone appeared somewhat gloomy.
"The Sect Master’s whereabouts are unknown, and our ancestors have not returned. With tens of thousands of Heavenly Demons outside and over a hundred and fifty Demon Lords, how are we to fend them off?" Yun Xiao said with a somber tone.
"Every minute we can delay is precious. We can only hope for the Sect Master and our ancestors to return," Chun Ye said gravely.
"How can we delay? They are specifically calling for Yang Ji. Clearly, they bear a grudge against him. Our Wuji Dao Sect is just getting dragged into this mess," Yang Daoren said, looking around with a grim expression.
"Indeed, they want to kill Yang Ji. If Yang Ji doesn’t go out to delay them, once the Heavenly Demons break in, we will all die. But if they kill Yang Ji and then retreat, perhaps we could still live," Yun Kulong echoed sternly.
"Yang Ji has now become a Red Dust Immortal, his status is on par with our ancestors, above all the elders. Mind your words and attitudes!" Ji Shen rebuked coldly.
"Ji Shen, you’re merely a Five Tribulations Immortal. How dare you speak to us like this?" Yang Daoren’s expression darkened, and as he reached out his hand, he struck toward Ji Shen with wild abandon, intending to suppress Ji Shen on the spot without any inhibition.
He had the backing of Liu Xiaosheng and had secretly pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demons. With the Heavenly Demons attacking, he was feeling bold and brazen, revealing his arrogance unabashedly.
"Yang Daoren, with a formidable enemy at our gates, how can we fight amongst ourselves?" Elder Luo Lie furrowed his brows, swept with his hand, and blocked the attack for Ji Shen.
"Luo Lie, you dare to stop me?" Yang Daoren’s expression changed, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"The great enemy is upon us; if we intensify our conflicts, are we not confusing our own ranks?" Chang Sheng said, shaking his head.
"The Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Demons has been brewing for a long time, and it comes with fierce momentum. They won’t stop for just a kill or two. They surround us but do not attack, hoping we will fall into chaos. Now that you act against your own sect, aren’t you falling into the Heavenly Demons’ trap?" Ji Jiang frowned, clearly disliking Yang Daoren’s actions.
"You all band together, making it seem as if I don’t care about the bigger picture. Then tell me, how do we resist the Heavenly Demons? What if they break in?" Yang Daoren sneered.
"Not good, the Heavenly Demons have begun attacking the Sect Protection Array! Over a hundred Demon Lords are striking together; the array is on the verge of collapse and won’t last much longer." Suddenly, a Mahayana cultivator’s complexion drastically changed as he flew in, urgently reporting.
"The Heavenly Demons have started the assault?" the Wuji Sword’s face changed as it said, "Issue the order, tell all disciples to hold firm, every minute counts. Conserve our strength for a fight to the death!"
"The Heavenly Demons have launched their attack? Although I have pledged allegiance to my master, the Heavenly Demons outside might not recognize me. Given that my master isn’t in the sect right now, I should go out early to clarify, lest the horde of Demon Lords break in and strike me down as well." Yang Daoren’s face was conflicted as he stood up and said, "You sit here waiting to die, but I shall not accompany you!"
Upon his rising, eight Tribulation Immortal elders and twenty-seven Mahayana cultivators also stood up with him.
Clearly, these were people who had already pledged allegiance to Liu Xiaosheng.
"You... are thinking of betraying the sect?" Chun Ye said with a grave voice.
"Heh, betray the sect? I merely do not wish to accompany you fools to wait for death," Yang Daoren scorned coldly.
Having pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demons, he was naturally fearless.
As he was about to leave, a cold voice suddenly filled the hall, "Leaving? You traitors who have already pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demons still wish to leave the Dao Sect alive? Utter delusion!"
"Yang Ji?" Hearing this voice, Yang Daoren’s expression changed, and as he looked up, he saw a mighty hand reach down fiercely, grabbing the ones who had stood up in one sweep. With several agonizing screams, a mess of mangled flesh mixed with blood fell from the hand.
Bloody red, crushed bones, and mangled flesh were a shocking sight.
"These people had already secretly pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demons, their death is not to be regretted!" Yang Ji said as he flashed into the room, holding the Wuji Order, "The Sect Master has already discerned everything, I am temporarily unable to leave due to pressing matters, so I have been ordered to take over the Sect Master’s position and manage all affairs."
