Thirty thousand years ago, the seal was forged at the cost of lives from the leaders of the five great sects.
Its power was formidable.
Even someone as powerful as Lin Fengyuan couldn't easily break it.
Yes, indeed.
Lin Fengyuan did manage to shatter the seal and escape from Demon Suppression Mountain.
But it came at the cost of damage to her spirit.
Moreover, thirty thousand years of imprisonment had left her body and spirit weakened to an extreme degree.
Now, she was recklessly engaging in battle.
Enduring the assaults of the five sacred land leaders.
Lin Fengyuan’s internal energy surged, and her spirit was in agonizing pain.
She was in no condition to continue fighting.
No, she absolutely couldn’t remain here any longer!
Lin Fengyuan had already decided to retreat.
At that moment, Zhou Qifan emerged from Demon Suppression Mountain as well.
Upon seeing the leaders of the five sacred lands gravely injured, he couldn’t help but smile.
But despite this, Zhou Qifan didn’t advance recklessly.
Instead, he decided to observe for a while, following Tao Shanren’s advice.
Sit back and watch the tigers fight!
“Boom!”
With the seal broken, Demon Suppression Mountain had become an empty shell.
Alongside the shockwaves from the recent battle, countless cracks appeared on its surface.
It could collapse at any moment.
In this situation, Ye Yu, moving at an incredible speed, carried the unconscious Yun Roumu and swiftly flew out.
However, to his surprise, the moment he stepped out of Demon Suppression Mountain, he found himself face-to-face with Lin Fengyuan, who was preparing to flee.

Ye Yu’s eyes widened in shock.
Before he could react, Lin Fengyuan grabbed his sleeve and darted eastward.
Ye Yu was left utterly bewildered.
Looking back, he saw the five sacred land leaders all displaying expressions of pain.
Their figures were hunched.
It seemed they had already fought Lin Fengyuan and lost.
From this, he could infer that Lin Fengyuan was far stronger than he had imagined.
Ye Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
Without hesitation, he tossed Yun Roumu in Luo Ze’s direction.
He had made up his mind.
Regardless of whether he fought Lin Fengyuan, carrying Yun Roumu would only be a burden.
It would be safer to leave her with Luo Ze.
Lin Fengyuan didn’t attempt to stop him.
In fact, she even transmitted a message to him, “Descendant of the Ye family, don’t worry. Just give me a bit more time, and I will fulfill my promise!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu’s confusion deepened.
This was the second time Lin Fengyuan had mentioned the Ye family.
Who exactly was she referring to by the Ye family?
And what promise could be so important that Lin Fengyuan remembered it for thirty thousand years?
On the other side, Luo Ze, seeing Yun Roumu rapidly approaching, suppressed his pain and extended his hand into the air.
An invisible, gentle force instantly caught Yun Roumu, bringing her safely to his side.
After confirming that Yun Roumu was merely unconscious and unharmed, he finally relaxed.
He then looked in the direction where Lin Fengyuan was taking Ye Yu, his expression grim.
Luo Ze wanted to rise and intervene.
But the backlash he had just suffered was too strong.
He was in no condition to fight.
All he could do was watch as Lin Fengyuan and Ye Yu’s figures disappeared on the horizon.
No, he had to inform Hong Luan as quickly as possible.
She would need to save him; otherwise, Ye Yu would be in grave danger.
However, before Luo Ze could retrieve his communication stone, an abrupt change occurred around him.
A layer of black barrier enveloped the five sacred land leaders and Yun Roumu.
Such a scene made Luo Ze, Tang Shaojin, and the others’ faces change dramatically.
What was happening?
“Kekekeke, it’s been a long time, esteemed leaders of the sacred lands. This Tao has missed you all dearly!”
The leader of Zhuoxin Temple, Tao Shanren, along with other demonic sect leaders, appeared instantly, radiating murderous intent.
At this moment, Tao Shanren was thrilled beyond measure.
The turn of events had gone almost exactly as he had hoped.
While Lin Fengyuan hadn’t managed to kill Luo Ze, Tang Shaojin, and the others, she had gravely injured them all.
For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For the past millennia, the righteous path had been flourishing, pushing the demonic cultivators to the margins.
But now, all of that was about to change.
If Tao Shanren could seize this chance to eliminate Luo Ze and the other sacred land leaders, the demonic sects would finally regain their power.
No righteous cultivator would stand a chance against them.
Tao Shanren would cement his place as the undisputed leader of the demonic path.
No—he would be the ruler of the entire Central Continent.
The mere thought thrilled him.
Luo Ze, along with Ning Ruyu, the leader of Xiaoyao Palace, Gao Zanze, the leader of Weeping Spirit Valley, and others, stared at the nearly one hundred powerful demonic cultivators before them.
Their hearts raced with anxiety.
They couldn’t understand why so many demonic sect leaders had gathered here.
Or why they had arrived precisely at this critical moment.
Now, with all five sacred land leaders severely injured from the backlash of their techniques, they were no match for these demonic fiends.
What could they possibly do?
Tang Shaojin, leader of Tianshu Mountain, suddenly noticed his disciple, Zhou Qifan, standing nearby.
He immediately sent a message, “Break the barrier quickly and get us out of here!”
Seeing Tang Shaojin’s anxious look, Zhou Qifan smirked and approached Tao Shanren.
He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, “Master, your disciple has fulfilled the mission and successfully helped Senior Lin Fengyuan escape!”
Upon seeing this, Tang Shaojin felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He could hardly believe it.
The Saint Son he had painstakingly nurtured for centuries turned out to be Tao Shanren’s disciple, a demonic spy.
It was an enormous betrayal.
The leader of Xiaoyao Palace, Ning Ruyu, instinctively assumed that Zhou Qifan was behind everything that had happened today.
Furious, she yelled, “Tang Shaojin, you blind fool! You couldn’t even recognize a spy right next to you!
You’ve doomed us all!”
Though Cheng Yalu, leader of Feiyun Pavilion, and Gao Zanze, leader of Weeping Spirit Valley, remained silent, their eyes blazed with resentment.
To think that their plan to eradicate the demons had failed, and now they were all caught in a trap.
It was the ultimate humiliation.
Tao Shanren sneered, “Enough, enough. There’s no need for all this blaming.
You can air your grievances as restless spirits once you’re dead.”
Hearing this, the five sacred land leaders looked utterly defeated.
Just as Tao Shanren and his group prepared to strike, the barrier was torn open, creating a massive opening.
Li Ruowang, clad in royal robes, was the first to break through.
She was followed by Yun Cimu, leader of the Guiyuan Sect, and Bu Lingfei, head of the Bu family.
The three women, all of astonishing beauty, landed gracefully between the two factions.
They began scanning the surroundings, seemingly searching for Ye Yu.
Their sudden appearance left everyone present in stunned silence.
Both sides assumed these women were reinforcements for the other.
Only Luo Ze seemed genuinely elated!
