"What are you doing!" San Ye Hermit suddenly bellowed in anger, but by then it was already too late.

As a Body Cultivator at the very peak of Foundation Establishment, facing Chen Yuan who was within arm''s reach, he almost casually reached out, and his hand had already pierced through Chen Yuan''s chest.

In the latter''s incredulous gaze, he violently withdrew his hand.

He then collected it as spoils of war, placing it into his Storage Bag.

"How dare you!" San Ye Hermit flew into a rage!

However, just as he was about to take action, the three referees beside him, for some reason, suddenly began to emit black smoke from their bodies.

The next moment, Spirit Might was released, and three Purple Mansion palms ferociously attacked San Ye Hermit.

After killing Chen Yuan, Huang Daoxuan kept up his relentless pursuit, targeting the remaining seven cultivators who were seeking Dao Enlightenment. His body, with a crisp sound, seemed as if a restraint had been lifted, and then the cultivation level of a Purple Mansion Body Cultivator exuded, instantly filling the other seven with tremendous dread.

They hurriedly took out their precious Spirit Talismans, with one of them from Spirit Talisman Sect bringing out a set of ten supreme-grade, third-rank Spirit Talismans.

Yet, before the demonic claws of the Purple Mansion Body Cultivator, they were as fragile as bubbles.

Two cultivators from Spirit Talisman Sect perished on the spot, while the cultivator from Qingxuan Sect took out a Golden Cauldron.

The demonic claw clutched the Golden Cauldron, feeling only a terrifying bang, the demonic claw was repelled, and the two from Qingxuan Sect quickly retreated, terrified.

"Magical treasure!" ''Huang Daoxuan'' had a somewhat sinister look in his eyes, having not expected the two from Qingxuan Sect to directly bring out a magical treasure.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot use magical treasures, it doesn''t interfere with the toughness of a magical treasure.

Huang Daoxuan, therefore, turned to grab at the three cultivators from Spirit Beast Sect.

Meanwhile, up in the distant Observation Pavilion, it was only now that the Purple Mansion cultivators reacted, rushing forth en masse towards the four Purple Mansion cultivators in the arena.

And in the Foundation Establishment stands, several cultivators at the front, just like the referee deacons earlier, began to emit black smoke, and a few even produced three coffins, from which emerged three Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators from Corpse Refining Sect.

In a moment, ten Purple Mansion cultivators from Heavenly Demon Sect and Corpse Refining Sect gathered, launching their attack on the Purple Mansion cultivators in the Observation Pavilion.

"Golden Corpse Hermit, how dare you!" roared Heavenly Beast True Person!

Such a clandestine attack from the high ranks of the Heavenly Demon Sect left them fuming with rage.

Four Golden Core cultivators charged towards the two withered corpses.

Intent on eliminating these two Golden Core stage corpses in advance.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to anyone, two Golden Core cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect and two from the Corpse Refining Sect had reached the outskirts of the city. Their terrifying speed brought them, in the blink of an eye, to the waist of Jiuye Mountain.

The battle of the Golden Core stage cultivators began in a flash, and in an instant, heaven and earth seemed to shatter.

At this moment, on the other side, where the Purple Mansion cultivators were, the Thousand Demon Hermit once again killed a seed Dao Enlightenment cultivator from the Qingxuan Sect.

Finally, San Ye Hermit saw an opportunity to break through and intervened, and two late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators immediately clashed fiercely.

Meanwhile, the three originally-besieged Purple Mansion cultivators saw one of their number fall to the enraged sword strike of the elder from the Qingxuan Sect. Had it not been for the other surviving Golden Corpse Hermit who held off the elder''s sword, the situation for the forces of Zhao Kingdom''s Three Sects would have been much easier.

Lin Shiming, hiding in the back, felt a chill thinking about the outcome. Seeing only three seed Dao Enlightenment cultivators remaining, he knew his fate wouldn''t have been any better than the other five should he have succeeded.

Now, he had narrowly escaped a disaster. However, he puzzled over why the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect would attack Jiuye City clandestinely.

While the rewards were substantial, the risk was equally great; if Jiuye City had five Golden Core cultivators, or an unexpected number of Purple Mansion cultivators, then the cultivators from the demonic sects would have been lambs to the slaughter!

In the midst of Lin Shiming''s astonishment, from the summit of Jiuye Mountain, a colossal tree burst from the soil and took root in the clouds, its terrifying presence instantly spreading across the whole of Jiuye Mountain.

"The Bai Shanmu Demon has made his move!" the cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect rejoiced.

As everyone watched, countless wooden vines shot out into the sky.

If Lin Shiming''s vines were a lake or a forest, then the branches at this moment were like a surging tsunami. Dense and endless, they rushed towards the Heavenly Demon Sect''s cultivators.

And these branches carried various True Yuan spells, with sword vines, saber vines, and spear vines, transforming into all kinds of Magic Artifacts.

The remaining nine Purple Mansion cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect quickly fell into a disadvantage under the might of Bai Shanmu Demon, unable to stir any ripples.

However, just then, Thousand Demon Hermit suddenly threw out five Tokens, which were the Dao Enlightenment Tokens! Stay updated through empireNo?v(el)B\\jnn
