With Yang Yun's people, combined with Tianxing Sect's own strength, this demon squad quickly lost most of its ability to resist.
First, the seven Tribulation Crossing Stage members were eliminated one by one.
After that, the other demons were also reduced to ashes.
Only the demon leader managed to hold on for quite a while under the joint attack of the two.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly, despite severe injuries, forcibly withstood the attacks of the two, then leapt out of the battlefield and charged straight toward Yang Yun in the clouds.
He's very clear about his own objective.
As long as he killed Yang Yun, this mission wouldn't be a failure.
Yang Yun sneered.
In front of him, that strange protective barrier appeared once again.
The demon leader shattered the barrier at the cost of his life, but the two Mahayana Stage cultivators had already caught up.
Two curved blades pierced into his back.
The demon leader glanced unwillingly at Yang Yun, then slowly fell down.
Yang Yun watched expressionlessly.
The two Mahayana Stage cultivators pursued him, preparing to deliver the final blow.
"Senior Tianpo." Yun Jin called out.
Tianpo understood. A giant sword suddenly blocked in front of the dying Mahayana Stage demon, just in time to intercept the final strike from the two.
Yang Yun's expression changed slightly.
This sword…
He had seen it before in the recording.
This was Yun Jin's sword.
This sword actually possessed such power?
Looking at the demon leader who still had a breath left, Yang Yun narrowed his eyes.
This demon must be killed!
He knew Yang Yun's identity. If left alive, it would cause trouble!
Yang Yun's gaze shifted as he descended from the sky.
In the previous life, when the demons attacked the mountain,
Yang Yun's cultivation had already mostly recovered, and he appeared in the form of an adult.
This time, Yang Yun's cultivation had only recovered to Soul Transformation Stage, and he still maintained the form of a child.
Yang Yun's subordinates gathered around and said respectfully, "Young Master."
Young Master?
Lin Ya and the others' complexion changed slightly.
They recognized this child.
He had previously been punished into forced labor for stealing spiritual plants together with Ye Danxia.
How much time had passed?
In the blink of an eye, he had become some young master with such powerful subordinates?
If these people wanted to destroy Tianxing Sect, it would be effortless for them.
Yin Jun couldn't help but ask, "May I ask who you all are…?"
Yang Yun smiled slightly, "I am a descendant of a hidden family. Previously, because I was in a hurry to heal my injuries, I did some inappropriate things, which caused some conflict with your sect. Later, my family found me. I originally planned to personally apologize to you and return the spiritual plants. I didn't expect to encounter these demons harming Tianxing Sect. So I offered a small helping hand, as an apology for the previous theft."
Yang Yun had a cute appearance, and combined with his current polite and humble demeanor, it instead made the people of Tianxing Sect feel somewhat embarrassed.
After all, he's just a child. Back then, stealing the spiritual plants might've really been for healing.
Now that he didn't hold any grudges and had helped Tianxing Sect resolve this sect-destroying disaster, he had already become the benefactor of the entire sect.
"Today's matter is thanks to all of you." Yin Jun quickly said. "All of you are the saviors of Tianxing Sect. When the Demon-Destroying Alliance arrives, we will definitely report your contributions."
Yang Yun smiled and looked at the dying demon leader, then turned to Yun Jin with a puzzled expression, "Sister Yun, I have seen this sword in the recording. This is your sword, right? Why are you protecting a demon?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Yun Jin.
Tianpo's action of saving the demon was indeed a bit strange.
Yun Jin also copied him and smiled, "Little brother, you don't understand. Why did demons suddenly attack the mountain? They came to find something. What exactly are they looking for? There might be a huge conspiracy behind this. This person is the leader of this incident, so of course we must keep him and interrogate him carefully. Perhaps we can find out something."
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
"That's reasonable. This person is in Mahayana Stage and is quite powerful. He isn't a minor figure within the Demon Clan. Later, we will hand him over to the Demon-Destroying Alliance, and we should gain quite a lot from the interrogation," Yin Jun nodded.
"Indeed. If we kill him, the reason for tonight's attack will remain unknown."
"In any case, he no longer has the ability to resist. We can keep him for now."
Yang Yun's expression changed slightly.
His originally childish voice suddenly carried a trace of coldness, "This is a demon. As long as he is a demon, he should be killed. Isn't that the principle of the Demon-Destroying Alliance? Sister Yun, you wouldn't be protecting this demon, right?"
Yun Jin smiled. "Little one, you're still young and don't understand adult matters. Don't worry, after the interrogation, we will kill him. Hmm? You're so eager to kill him, are you worried he might reveal some small secret related to you?"
Yang Yun's pupils shrank slightly.
Yun Jin's words sounded as if she knew something!
But how could that be?
In the next moment.
He heard Yun Jin say, "Just kidding. You're a human, and he's a demon. What secret could he possibly know about you?"
Yang Yun revealed a few innocent little teeth, "Exactly."
Yun Jin suddenly changed the topic.
"Speaking of which, he risked getting severely injured just now to try to kill you. Why is that? Do you know him? Or do you have some deep grudge? Hmm, he said he came here to find something, but Tianxing Sect is just a mid-tier sect. Aside from the Tianxing Bell, there are no real treasures. And his target clearly wasn't the Tianxing Bell. If finding something is just an excuse, then could it be that his real purpose is to find someone?"
Yang Yun's eyelids twitched.
Yun Jin said calmly, "You wouldn't happen to be the person they're looking for….right?"
Yang Yun's expression didn't change, "Sister is joking."
"Hahaha." Yun Jin really started laughing. "Yes, I'm just joking, don't be so nervous. Your expression looks quite frightening."
Yun Jin turned and walked to the demon leader.
This leader was already on the verge of death. Apart from his eyes being wide open, he couldn't say a single word.
"That won't do. We can't let him die just yet." Yun Jin smiled.
Tianpo turned and infused some power into the demon leader.
The leader's condition visibly improved instantly.
It couldn't be said that he recovered much, but at least he could speak.
"You should be able to talk now, right?" Yun Jin said with a smile. "You also saw, your people have all been wiped out. Now only you remain. Let me ask you, what was your objective this time? Did you accomplish your goal?"
The demon leader's lips trembled slightly. Through Yun Jin, he stared fixedly in Yang Yun's direction.
Yun Jin stepped aside slightly, allowing everyone to clearly see his line of sight.
Then.
She said with a surprised expression, "What's going on? Your target was actually this little brother? That can't be right. He's just a child, what connection could he have with demons?"
Everyone looked at the demon leader's hatred-filled gaze and were momentarily stunned.
What's going on?
Was the target of these demons really this child?
