After glancing at the corpses of the two old demons and estimating that there wasn't anything of value, Li Ling abandoned his plan to loot them. Instead, he said to Zhang Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, now that these two demons have been killed, it seems that Master and the others have already started fighting with the demonic cultists. If your injuries are not a problem, let's go over and see if there's anything we can do to help!"
Zhang Xiaofan had just been attacked by the Bloodsucking Ancestor and had several wounds on his body, but fortunately the injuries were not serious. He immediately said, "A-Ling, don't worry, I'm fine. I think I just heard Master's angry shout. Let's go over there quickly!"
Li Ling nodded, placed the Qiankun Sword under his foot, and flew forward on his sword. Zhang Xiaofan quickly followed, and the two of them sped towards the Qingyun Sect through the torrential rain. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate event or motto.)

Chapter 361: The Chaos Continues
At this time, the Demonic Sect had already launched a full-scale war against the righteous path. Li Ling had only flown a short distance when he saw disciples from Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley fighting against the Demonic Sect disciples.
Amidst the torrential rain, the sounds of battle were incessant, and every now and then one could see wounded lying on the ground, their fate unknown. Under the torrential rain, the water quickly gathered on the ground, turning into streams, which also took on a bright red color.
The two dealt with many members of the demonic sect who blocked their way, and when they arrived at the Qingyun Sect's base, they found a river of blood flowing everywhere!
Cangsong, Tian Buyi, and Su Ru, three masters of the Qingyun Sect, were locked in a fierce battle with the centuries-old demons of the Demonic Sect. Amidst the whistling of swords, the three protected and supported each other, and they held an absolute advantage over the three old demons.
The three opponents were clearly established figures, and even though they were at a disadvantage, they showed no intention of backing down. Instead, they continued to entangle the three of them, not giving them any chance to escape!
Although the three had the upper hand, they were the ones who looked anxious! Their attacks were ruthless and merciless, and they wanted to end the fight quickly, but their opponents were entangled and difficult to deal with, so they couldn't find an opportunity for a while!
Seeing Li Ling and Zhang Xiaofan arrive on their swords, Cangsong and Tian Buyi relaxed. Just as they were about to step forward to help, Su Ru said, "We're fine here. Ling'er and Junior Sister Lu have both headed towards Changhe City in the west. The Demonic Sect is powerful this time, so we have no choice but to devise a way out. Go and help them!"
"Ah Ling, hurry up!" Cang Song shouted to Li Ling as well.
"Okay! I'll be right there!" Li Ling nodded in agreement, and Zhang Xiaofan, upon hearing about Tian Ling'er, hurriedly followed Li Ling on his sword.
"Where do you think you're going, brat?!" At this moment, the short old man confronting Cangsong shouted, and a black aura emanated from his fingertips, attacking Li Ling from behind.
"Hmph!" Li Ling didn't turn around. He raised his hand and unleashed several sword energies, instantly dispersing the black energy. Then, the remaining momentum of the sword energies continued to attack the short old man!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!!"
Never expecting that a disciple would be so powerful, the short old man hurriedly moved his body in succession to dodge the five sword energies.
Taking advantage of the situation, Cangsong pressed forward, his immortal sword flashing with light, forcing the short old man to retreat repeatedly. He laughed loudly, "How about it, old man Duanmu? Is my disciple, Cangsong's disciple, worthy of your attention?"
The short old man, known as Duanmu Lao'er, wanted to retort, but under Cangsong's onslaught, he had no choice but to retreat repeatedly, leaving him no time to retaliate!
Meanwhile, Li Ling and Zhang Xiaofan were traveling quickly when a deafening sound suddenly rang in their ears!
"Awooo!!"
The roar was like thunder descending from the heavens, shaking the very soul! It even seemed as if the sky itself trembled at the sound!
"Kui Niu!" Li Ling was startled, realizing that the voice was filled with anger. He immediately flew in the direction of the voice and soon arrived at the seaside.
On the beach ahead, a large cauldron floated high in the air, with countless red dots extending downwards from it, forming a large net. Inside the net, a tall, strange beast was roaring angrily.
No matter how angry it was, or how hard it rammed into the thin red net, the net, which seemed fragile, was indestructible and blocked the Kui Niu's repeated attacks. It could not shake the red net in the slightest. However, the figure standing above it had become much paler!
"It's the Ghost King!" He instantly recognized the newcomer as the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect.
"Hmm?" Li Ling only glanced at the Ghost King a few times, but he didn't expect the other party's gaze to fall in his direction, which made Li Ling secretly startled. "This Ghost King is really powerful. I only glanced at him twice, and he noticed me!"
Looking around, he saw that Qinglong, who had exchanged blows with him last time, was now holding Tian Ling'er, Song Daren, and several others firmly under his control, making them suffer terribly.
Compared to Qinglong's effortless and graceful movements, Song Daren and his companions were struggling to keep up and were working extremely hard.
In the sky, two figures, one white and one green, were locked in a fierce battle. Neither Lu Xueqi nor Biyao could gain the upper hand, resulting in a stalemate.
"Why are these two girls fighting?" Li Ling frowned slightly.
On the other side, seeing that Tian Ling'er was in a bad situation, Zhang Xiaofan quickly rushed towards Qinglong, while Lu Xueqi smiled slightly at Li Ling.
These past two days, she seemed to have learned about Li Ling's request for Cang Song to propose marriage on her behalf, and she had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Li Ling. However, upon seeing him again on this occasion, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Seeing the two of them like this, Biyao, who was fighting Lu Xueqi, suddenly became angry for some reason. She gritted her teeth and chuckled, "Dragon Slayer, I didn't expect to meet you again. I should thank you for saving me at Sangkong Mountain!"
Li Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself, "Your attitude has changed quite quickly. Last time you said you were going to teach me a lesson."
He glanced at Lu Xueqi, whose expression was slightly unpleasant, and said indifferently, "I didn't know you two were from the Ghost King Sect before, which is why I helped you. I didn't expect that as soon as I got away, you would turn around and have Ghost King Sect disciples attack me. It's indeed the method of the Demonic Sect."
At this point, Li Ling looked at Qinglong, "Qinglong, last time you outnumbered me, so I didn't want to get entangled with you. This time, I'll show you what's what!"
After saying that, Li Ling became one with the Dragon-Slaying Sword, transforming into a swimming dragon and attacking the Azure Dragon.
Meanwhile, Biyao felt even more resentful and was about to say something when Lu Xueqi entangled her again. Her cultivation level was already slightly lower than Lu Xueqi's, and she was only able to turn the tide because Lu Xueqi had less experience in fighting. At this moment, she couldn't care less about speaking.
At the same time, before Li Ling's sword light could even arrive, the Ghost King said to a handsome young man not far away, "Little Zhou, your Blood Refining Hall has joined my Ghost King Sect, but you haven't accomplished anything yet! As the new sect leader of the Blood Refining Hall, quickly kill this brat from the Azure Cloud Sect for me! Consider it your pledge of allegiance!"
The young man named "Xiao Zhou" was about to agree when he was suddenly interrupted: "Wait! Sect Master, let Xiao Zhou deal with these juniors! This kid is quite strong, I'll handle him!"
Upon seeing Li Ling below, Qinglong's eyes lit up. His Qiankun Qingguang Ring flashed repeatedly, easily forcing the others back. He then greeted Li Ling, who was approaching on his sword, saying, "Good lad, now that I've seen you, I won't let you escape again!"
Upon seeing this, the Ghost King laughed heartily: "I never thought you, Brother Dragon, would be so full of fighting spirit. However, it's against a junior. If others saw this, they would probably laugh at you for bullying the weak!"
At this moment, the Azure Dragon had already rushed to Li Ling's side, the light from the Azure Light Ring of Heaven and Earth colliding violently with the Dragon-Slaying Sword in Li Ling's hand: "The new master of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, who dares to underestimate me!"
