The shouts of battle were intense, and the desperate screams of many people could be heard from time to time.
Qingyun Mountain, which was once like a fairyland, now seems to be shrouded in blood and looks like hell.
Suddenly, Li Yao sensed something and frowned.
Without saying a word, he took advantage of the chaos and headed towards the mountain gate of Qingyun Sect.
Along the way, he encountered many reckless members of the demonic sect who wanted to attack him, but he dealt with them all easily and even took their magical treasures.
Soon, he saw several familiar figures fighting with the members of the Demonic Cult.
These people were Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, Qi Hao, and others.
Of course, there was also Little Fire that transformed into his appearance.
However, he did not see Faxiang or any of the people from Tianyin Temple.
Since Little Fire is his spirit beast mount, it has already become sentient.
So, just as he looked at Little Fire, Little Fire sensed it and looked back at him as well.
He took advantage of the fact that the others were not paying attention and went to an inconspicuous place.
At the same time, he gave Xiao Huo a wink.
Xiao Huo understood and quickly followed when no one was looking.
Chapter 362 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind
Li Yao gestured to Xiao Huo, and after arriving at an inconspicuous place, he led Xiao Huo into the space.
After entering the space, they all transformed back into their original forms.
Then, Li Yao hurriedly asked Xiao Huo, "Xiao Huo, how come you're back so quickly?"
Xiao Huo immediately recounted to Li Yao what had happened to them after Li Yao left Changhe City.
After Li Yao left Changhe City quietly, Zhang Xiaofan and his group followed Jin Ping'er to a secluded mountain forest.
At first, they didn't find anything unusual.
However, later, the quick-witted Faxiang, Lin Jingyu, and Qi Hao all noticed something was amiss.
They discovered that this seemingly frail Jin Ping'er seemed to be deliberately leading them in circles, as if she harbored some ulterior motive.
Later, Faxiang and others repeatedly questioned Jin Ping'er.
No matter how clever Jin Ping'er was, the people she faced were mostly outstanding young people from the righteous path, with very quick minds and not easily deceived.
Therefore, she quickly revealed her weakness.
Ultimately, Faxiang and the others discovered that Jin Ping'er might be a member of the Demonic Sect.
So they fought a big battle with Jin Ping'er.
Seeing that she was no match for these people, Jin Ping'er quickly used her charm to bewitch Fa Xiang and the others, and then took the opportunity to escape.
Because Xiao Huo was impersonating his master Li Yao, he didn't easily take down Jin Ping'er, lest others discover something.
Afterwards, Faxiang and others discussed the matter and concluded that the Demonic Sect must have taken some action against the righteous path.
The Demonic Sect was probably wary of Li Yao's strength, so they deliberately sent Jin Ping'er to lead them around in circles, with the aim of delaying Li Yao's journey.
So they immediately rushed back from Changhe City.
On the way, Faxiang and the others from Tianyin Temple parted ways with Qi Hao and the others and rushed back to Tianyin Temple.
Qi Hao, Zhang Xiaofan, and the others, having traveled the same route, returned together.
They had just passed through Heyang City when they noticed unusual activity in the direction of Qingyun Mountain.
Qi Hao was extremely anxious and quickly sped up to return to Qingyun Mountain.
Zhang Xiaofan and the others followed.
Of course, from beginning to end, Xiao Huo, who was disguised as Li Yao, never revealed any flaws.
Therefore, neither Qi Hao, Fa Xiang, nor Zhang Xiaofan knew that the Li Yao who had been with them all along was actually not the real Li Yao.
After learning about these circumstances from Xiao Huo, Li Yao immediately came out of the space.
This time, he reappeared at Qingyun Sect in his true form.
He found himself in a relatively quiet place.
Zhang Xiaofan and the others have disappeared; it's unknown where they've fought their way to.
Meanwhile, the sounds of battle still echoed in the distance, indicating that the great war between the righteous and the demonic forces had reached a fever pitch.
Li Yao quickly reached out and summoned the Overlord Divine Spear, charging forward.
This time, he, as a righteous person, vanquished demons and upheld justice!
Everything that was happening before his eyes was exactly what he had expected.
Five years ago, when he came to the world of Jade Dynasty, he had already foreseen this day.
Of course, he did this because he was familiar with the plot.
He wanted to develop the Peerless Sect into the most influential sect in the world of Jade Dynasty.
The Qingyun Sect is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.
With over a thousand years of heritage, it would be difficult to shake the Qingyun Sect's position.
Therefore, they could only weaken the Qingyun Sect's power by relying on others.
And the Demonic Cult is a very good 'assistant'!
Therefore, when they were at Liubo Mountain, Li Yao did not kill Qinglong, Youji, and the Ghost King.
Meanwhile, the Ghost King lost the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron and discovered that a peerless figure named Li Yao had emerged in the righteous path.
He felt that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for their Ghost King Sect.
After much deliberation, he decided to take a desperate gamble and strike first, uniting the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Longevity Hall, and the Joyful Union Sect to wipe out Qingyun Mountain in one fell swoop, and then find a way to eliminate other righteous sects.
Therefore, he conspired with the demon leaders of the other three factions to make a big fuss about Puzhi's remains, and had Zhou Yin and other members of the demonic sect impersonate monks from Tianyin Temple to question the people of Qingyun Sect about why Puzhi's remains were found near Qingyun Sect.
Dao Xuan and other high-ranking members of the Qingyun Sect were caught off guard and were actually deceived by Zhou Yin and his group.
Dao Xuan was even more ambushed by Zhou Yin.
Furthermore, with the help of the traitor Cangsong, the members of the Demonic Sect easily stormed into the Qingyun Sect.
The Qingyun Sect was caught off guard and immediately found itself in a passive and defensive situation.
Everything was developing in the direction the Ghost King had predicted, making him extremely pleased with himself.
Because the Ghost King was wary of Li Yao, he had Jin Ping'er devise a plan to delay Li Yao's journey.
Unfortunately, the Ghost King's schemes were thwarted by a schemer who was unaware of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind him.
Li Yao not only saw through his scheme long ago, but also turned the tables on him, secretly infiltrating the Qingyun Sect and stealing the treasure that the Ghost King also coveted: the Zhuxian Sword.
The Qingyun Sect is now severely weakened.
However, Li Yao did not intend to let Qingyun Sect be destroyed by the Demonic Sect.
Next, he will use the Qingyun Sect to join forces with them to eliminate another major obstacle to the Wushuang Sect: the Demonic Sect.
Therefore, both the Qingyun Sect and the Demonic Sect were manipulated by him.
Wielding his divine spear, Li Yao was like a war god, vanquishing demons and monsters along the way, invincible in every direction.
Countless members of the demonic sect were pierced through by Li Yao's divine spear and fell into pools of blood.
While fighting against the members of the Demonic Sect, Li Yao was also collecting magical treasures and picking up various attribute orbs, keeping himself very busy.
"Sect Leader Li has arrived!"
"Excellent! With Sect Leader Li here, these demonic cultists shouldn't be able to cause much trouble!"
"Our Qingyun Sect is finally saved!"
"..."
Many of the disciples of Qingyun Sect had been to Liubo Mountain and witnessed Li Yao's terrifying strength firsthand.
Therefore, when they saw Li Yao appear, they were immediately invigorated, shouted excitedly, and their morale soared. They then launched a fierce counterattack against the Demonic Sect.
Originally, they thought their Qingyun Sect was doomed this time.
Their savior has finally arrived!
"Sect Leader Li?"
"Could it be the sect leader of the Peerless Sect who suddenly appeared recently?"
Master Shuiyue, Zeng Shuchang, and others had never met Li Yao, but they had recently heard of his name frequently.
"That's right, he is Li Yao, the sect leader of the Peerless Sect!"
"I didn't expect him to appear in time. This time, our Qingyun Sect can finally be saved."
When Tian Buyi and Su Ru saw Li Yao appear, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long ago, they witnessed Li Yao defeat the leader of the Ghost King Sect of the Demonic Cult.
With such a powerful figure assisting us, we can surely thwart the evil cult's conspiracy.
Chapter 363 The Scheming and Intrigue of the Demonic Cult
"Li Yao?"
The Ghost King of the Demonic Sect saw Li Yao, his pupils contracted, and he growled in a low voice, "Damn it, why is he here?"
At this moment, he is fighting with Tian Buyi.
"Is he Li Yao?"
