Han ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Li, meanwhile, moved about on the sidelines, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

However, the disparity in strength was immense.

Wan Tuxiao, at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, wielded a supreme-grade demonic blade, his blade techniques fierce and domineering.

Every strike carried blood fiend power. Facing two alone, he firmly suppressed Qingxu and Xuanyun.

Elder Blood Soul and Elder Bone Fiend, on the other hand, specifically targeted Yun Yazi while restraining the two Supreme Elders, their demonic techniques strange and impossible to guard against.

The Azure Wave Sect’s side had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage, barely holding on.

At the critical moment when True Person Qingxu endured a direct strike from Wan Tuxiao in an attempt to create an opening for Xuanyun to counterattack—

Han Li, who had been circling on the outskirts, flashed with killing intent in his eyes and suddenly erupted!

He did not attack Yun Yazi as instructed by Wan Tuxiao.

Instead, he unleashed his long-prepared strike toward the back of True Person Xuanyun, who was fully focused on dealing with Elder Bone Fiend’s sneak attack!

“Martial Uncle Xuanyun, be careful!”

Yun Yazi’s eyes nearly split apart as he shouted in alarm, but it was already too late.

Sensing the vicious wind from behind, True Person Xuanyun was horrified.

In haste, he could only push his protective profound light to its limit.

“Pfft!”

Pitch-black demonic qi drilled into Xuanyun’s protective light. Though most of it was neutralized, the remaining force still struck solidly into his back.

Xuanyun’s body trembled violently, his face turning pale instantly.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his aura weakened by a third.

“Han Li! You beast!” Seeing this, True Person Qingxu was consumed by fury, and his sword momentum faltered.

“Hahaha! Well done!” Wan Tuxiao laughed loudly, seizing the chance to intensify his assault, forcing Qingxu to retreat repeatedly.

Yun Yazi looked at Xuanyun, who was coughing blood with a declining aura, then at Han Li’s sinister grin and the advancing Demon Blade Sect members. A trace of resolve flashed in his eyes.

“Demonic scum! I’ll fight you to the death!”

He was about to reverse his Golden Core and self-detonate!

“Hmph, want to self-destruct? Did you ask this elder first?” Elder Bone Fiend snorted coldly, flipping his hand to summon a pale white bone bell.

The bell shook lightly. No sound emerged, yet an invisible fluctuation instantly enveloped Yun Yazi.

Yun Yazi felt his soul stiffen. The wildly reversing Golden Core inside his body seemed to crash into an invisible wall and abruptly stopped.

The backlash made him spit out blood as he collapsed to the ground, completely unable to resist.

Seeing this, Qingxu and Xuanyun were overwhelmed with grief and despair.

Powerful enemies ahead, a traitor within.

Their sect master gravely injured, they themselves wounded.

Trapped in a deadly formation—today, it seemed they could not escape their fate.

Wan Tuxiao raised the Blood Prison Slaughtering Blade high, killing intent surging!

At this moment of extreme peril—

A calm voice suddenly appeared within this sealed space formed by the array.

“Interesting, truly interesting.”

Everyone, including Wan Tuxiao, froze, looking toward the source in shock.

Above the formation space, at some unknown time, a figure had appeared silently.

That person wore a pitch-black robe like the night.

Its style was ancient and plain, without any ornamentation.

Yet it naturally exuded a deep and imposing authority.

His black hair draped over his shoulders, and his face was covered by a five-colored evil ghost mask.

There was no eruption of aura, yet just standing there, an invisible pressure spread outward.

Deeper than the abyss, vaster than the starry sky.

This pressure—

Was it a Transformation Spirit cultivator?

Or even above Transformation Spirit?

“Se… Senior…” Wan Tuxiao forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and cupped his hands.

“This junior, Wan Tuxiao of the Demon Blade Sect, is handling some sect grievances here. Unaware of Senior’s arrival, we have offended you. I ask for your magnanimity.”

“This place…”

Before he could finish—

Nether Soul had already raised his right hand and pointed lightly toward the three of them from afar.

Under that single finger, ripples spread through the void.

Wan Tuxiao, Blood Soul, and Bone Fiend felt their souls locked onto by an overwhelming force in that instant!

《Grand Five Elements Primordial Tribulation Finger》!

This was Gu Yan’s strongest offensive technique after breaking through to the Transformation Spirit Realm.

Condensing the power of the Five Elements, transforming it into a primordial tribulation, directly striking the origin—destroying soul and spirit!

Pop…

Three faint crisp sounds, like bubbles bursting.

The three infamous Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demon Blade Sect, under the stunned gazes of the Azure Wave Sect members, instantly turned into drifting ash.

The Three Talents Soul-Locking Heaven-Severing Formation that had trapped them—

without its controllers, the blood-black formation patterns rapidly collapsed.

Nether Soul chose to act at this moment for a reason.

If he had intervened when the three from the Azure Wave Sect were unharmed, the favor would have seemed too cheap.

Only by letting them personally experience despair, tasting betrayal and severe injury, would this life-saving grace in their darkest moment carry true weight and value.

In the future, he could use this to better scheme around the Azure Wave Sect.

After glancing at the Azure Wave Sect members, Nether Soul’s figure faded and quickly disappeared.

Of course, he had not truly left.

He merely concealed himself again in the shadows.

His task was complete—save them, eliminate the leaders of the Demon Blade Sect.

The remaining mess should naturally be handled by the Azure Wave Sect themselves.

He only needed to ensure that no unexpected variables arose.

With the formation shattered, the powerful enemies reduced to ashes, and survival snatched from certain death—

the immense contrast left the three from the Azure Wave Sect unable to recover for a long time.

Until a terrified scream broke the silence.

It was Vice Sect Master Han Li.

He had personally witnessed his backers being wiped out as easily as crushing insects by that mysterious figure.

He was already scared out of his wits.

Now, seeing the gazes of the two Supreme Elders and the Sect Master fall upon him, he dropped to his knees with a thud, tears and snot streaming down his face.

“Supreme Elders! Sect Master! Spare my life! I was forced!”

“The Demon Blade Sect threatened my entire clan—I had no choice but to work for them!”

“I still have feelings for the sect—I… I know I was wrong!”

“Please, spare me! I’m willing to atone for my crimes! I’ll reveal all the Demon Blade Sect’s hidden agents I know!”

While crying and begging for mercy, his eyes flickered.

A faint escape light quietly appeared beneath his feet—he was attempting to flee!

“Traitor! Where do you think you’re going!”

Though True Person Qingxu was heavily injured and had just gone through extreme emotional turmoil, dealing with a late-stage Golden Core Han Li was still effortless.

Filled with anger, he made his move. The Azure Sea Tide Rising Sword turned into a streak of blue light, striking later but arriving first.

In an instant, all of Han Li’s escape routes were sealed.

With a sweep of sword light, he was captured.

“Cough… cough…” True Person Xuanyun swallowed a pill, barely suppressing his injuries.

Looking at the limp Han Li on the ground, killing intent surged in his eyes.

“This scoundrel deserves ten thousand deaths!”

Yun Yazi also struggled to sit up, speaking weakly yet firmly: “Martial Uncle, killing him now would be letting him off too easily.”

“The Demon Blade Sect has operated within our sect for years. He is certainly not the only hidden agent.”

“We must take him back and interrogate him thoroughly. We must root out all the hidden parasites and cleanse the sect!”

True Person Qingxu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to execute Han Li immediately, and nodded.

“The Sect Master speaks wisely. This man still has use.”

He looked toward the direction where the mysterious black-robed figure had disappeared, then at the now quiet yet devastated Fallen Dragon Abyss. Fear lingered in his heart, along with confusion and gratitude.

“That senior just now…” True Person Xuanyun also gazed into the sky, his tone complex.

“Who exactly was he? Why did he help us?”

“Judging by his methods—earth-shaking and unimaginable—killing Wan Tuxiao and the others as easily as brushing away dust, he is at least at the late Transformation Spirit Realm, perhaps even a Void Refinement great expert!” True Person Qingxu sighed.

“As for why he helped… perhaps he was merely passing by, happened to uncover the Demon Blade Sect’s scheme, and acted on a whim.”

“Such experts often act as they please—it is not something we can fathom.”

Yun Yazi struggled to bow toward the sky, speaking loudly:

“This junior, Yun Yazi of the Azure Wave Sect, together with Martial Uncles Qingxu and Xuanyun, expresses our deepest gratitude for Senior’s life-saving grace!”

“Senior’s great kindness will never be forgotten by the Azure Wave Sect for all eternity!”

“We humbly ask Senior to leave your name, so that our sect may remember and honor you day and night!”

His voice echoed through the howling winds of the abyss, yet no response came.

That mysterious senior seemed truly to have merely passed by.

“Perhaps… our Azure Wave Sect’s fate has not yet ended. Perhaps, in the unseen, there is still heavenly protection,” True Person Xuanyun said with a bitter smile.

“No matter what, having survived this great calamity and exposed the internal rot, we must use thunderous measures to purge the traitors within the sect!”
