But there are dozens of them! More importantly, if all else fails, we can always use a cheat code. When the time comes, we can use our literary energy and I don't believe we can't even stop two Celestials.
With a whoosh, she flashed and appeared before everyone. Although her face was veiled, her mere presence exuded boundless charm. Every movement she made was irresistibly alluring.
In truth, Empress Yin hadn't done anything at all; she was simply standing there quietly. Yet, even so, she had already given the many aristocratic family heads a moment of stunning beauty. Some, who usually considered themselves to have excellent self-control, were now behaving like lecherous wolves, practically drooling!
Seeing this, Cai Yan couldn't help but sigh. It seemed this Heavenly Demon Art was quite impressive; she might have to study it herself. Otherwise, how could she possibly deal with so many demons and monsters across the myriad realms?
Just then, a sigh suddenly rang in everyone's ears, followed by a silvery laugh. This laugh seemed to possess a magical power, captivating everyone's attention.
If not now, when? After all, it would be a waste not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.
With a whoosh, the Colorless Sword, passed down through generations of the Cihang Jingzhai, was drawn. This sword strike, like the rising sun illuminating the world, instantly awakened everyone.
However, before they could react, the laughter suddenly transformed into the sound of thunder and rain. The sound, like a tidal wave, swept in all directions. What was originally intangible now manifested as tangible ripples.
At the same time, Zhu Yuyan waved her hand, and streams of black demonic energy emerged, covering an area of over a hundred feet and enveloping everyone.
Seeing this, Cai Yan was not worried but delighted, saying, "Good, good, good! I have long heard of the formidable reputation of the Yin Hou Heavenly Demon Art, and seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary. This Heavenly Demon Art has already reached the realm of doing whatever one pleases, being omnipotent, and reaching a state of divine mastery! It seems that this Heavenly Demon Art truly has its merits. However, this alone is not enough. Break it for me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a surge of righteous energy erupted from Cai Yan's body, merging with the surrounding literary energy. In the next instant, the clan heads, who had been confused and in a poor state of mind, finally came to their senses.
However, Fan Qinghui's sword strike had already reached its peak, and at the same time, the Color Void Sword itself emitted a series of clear and melodious cries, as if responding to Fan Qinghui's call.
Looking at the incredibly bright sword strike, Cai Yan couldn't help but take it seriously.
"Your sword strike is upright and righteous, utterly magnificent. Coincidentally, my Confucian school also has a similar sword strike, named Righteous and Upright!"
As she spoke, Cai Yan drew her rarely drawn sword. She had always used short swords or even daggers in combat. The fact that she had drawn her sword now was quite unusual and spoke volumes.
"The sword is named Sekong, and it is the inherited sword of the successive abbots of my Cihang Jingzhai. It is made of meteorite iron from outer space and weighs twenty catties," Fan Qinghui said. As she spoke, she and the sword became one, transforming into a stream of light and attacking Cai Yan.
Seeing this, Cai Yan couldn't help but shake her head. She didn't want the battle to end so quickly, but there were always people willing to sacrifice themselves, and she couldn't just give up without a fight!
"The sword is named Han Guang, and its original form is a seventh-tier treasure sword. This is just a replica, which is only fifth-tier. All you need to know is that it is very, very powerful."
As he spoke, with the influx of righteous energy, the Han Guang Sword gradually emitted a bright light, which shone in all directions.
Even Zhu Yuyan stopped her Heavenly Demon Sound, because it was useless; her demonic arts were completely suppressed by the light before her.
More importantly, in front of this young girl, Zhu Yuyan felt a long-lost sense of life-or-death crisis! The last time she felt this way was when Shi Zhixuan tricked her into losing her virginity.
Therefore, we must be vigilant and cautious!

Chapter 108: You're robbing me! This is immoral!
With a dazzling flash of light, the two figures separated once again.
With a clang, a broken sword fell to the ground! It broke off at the spine, and the cut was very gentle and neat.
"The Colorless Sword, it's broken just like that?" Zhu Yuyan murmured, looking at the broken sword on the ground.
It's important to understand that the Void Sword is not merely a precious sword; it is an artifact passed down through generations of Cihang Jingzhai sect leaders. It is a symbol of status and the highest authority within Cihang Jingzhai.
More importantly, over the course of more than two hundred years, this sword had long since developed a spiritual essence. Moreover, this essence was quite strong, making it a high-quality, spiritually connected sword. Even the Yin Kui Sect's Heavenly Demon Twin Slashes were only of this quality.
But at this moment, it was directly severed. One can only say, it truly lives up to its reputation as a celestial weapon! At the same time, my resolve began to waver.
Anyway, the Demonic Sect has already been suppressed for over two hundred years. Even if it continues to be suppressed, as long as it can survive, it doesn't matter.
However, while Yin Hou could consider withdrawing and thinking about how to better preserve her strength, Fan Qinghui had no choice!
Just like the most common protagonists of heaven and earth in the primordial world genre. Before this, Buddhism was the protagonist of heaven and earth in this world! After this, Taoism will become the new protagonist of heaven and earth!
After the generational shift, how could the former big brother, Buddhism, possibly have a good life? Even if it surrenders now, it will be suppressed from time to time, and eventually it will barely survive, probably in a similar state to the former demonic sect.
Who would want to live like this?
With a soft "pfft," she spat out a mouthful of blood, which spilled onto the ground. Simultaneously sensing the incredibly powerful sword energy within her body, Fan Qinghui had to admit that she had already lost, and that she had no fighting power whatsoever until she could neutralize this sword energy.
At the same time, streams of black malevolent energy also flowed through his meridians, circulating throughout his body and invading his brain without his knowledge.
"I wonder what the immortal intends to do with my Buddhist sect?" Fan Qinghui asked calmly, looking at the broken sword in her hand.
When she spoke, she neither cried nor made a scene, nor did she become overly agitated; instead, she spoke calmly and deliberately, as if everything were none of her concern. It must be said, to be able to scheme against the Empress Dowager and manipulate the heroes of the world for so many years, her mental fortitude is truly remarkable!
Upon hearing this, Cai Yan shook her head dismissively. This was probably what Fei Peng meant by "if you can't beat someone, you kneel down and lick their boots; if your fists can't beat yours, you start talking about reason." However, since victory was assured, she figured she might as well listen to her perspective.
"Your Buddhist sect originated from foreign lands and is a foreign religion. However, during the Five Barbarian Invasions, you took root in the Central Plains with the help of the barbarians. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to call you barbarians and barbarian religions. As for me, I am a Han Chinese!" Cai Yan said calmly.
Although Cai Yan spoke in a very calm tone, without a trace of murderous intent, the more calm she was, the more depressed Fan Qinghui felt.
Hu people, Hu religion!
In the past, if someone said such things about Buddhism, Fan Qinghui would not care, because the fist of the barbarians was bigger than that of the Han people, and the fist of the barbarian religion was still bigger than that of the Han people.
Therefore, at that time, saying that people from other regions were barbarians and that their religions were barbaric was really insignificant. At most, a few eloquent monks would be brought up to have a good debate with you, engaging in some sophistry and arguing. Anyway, there are so many Buddhist scriptures; you can talk about one today and another tomorrow, and you can always find a way to continue the argument.
But now, what was once a source of pride has become a deadly trap. "Barbarian people, barbarian religion!" These four words reveal boundless murderous intent!
“The Buddha said that all beings are equal. You are a celestial being descended to earth. Why be bound by worldly views and be influenced by the thoughts of mortals?” Fan Qinghui lowered her head and advised with a pained expression.
Upon hearing this, Cai Yan completely lost the will to speak. In the main world, the power of the Chinese people is immense! There is absolutely no such thing as immortals looking down on mortals.
(In the main world, mortals possess power. When mortals possess great power, naturally no one looks down on them!)
Therefore, the two had completely different views on life and values, so Fan Qinghui's persuasion not only failed to convince Cai Yan, but also made Cai Yan somewhat angry.
“Benefactor, as the Buddha said…”
