Xiao Xiangdao felt some fear upon seeing Li Changye.
When he was weak, it was Li Changye who had guided him in cultivating his techniques.
He didn’t expect that after defecting to the Blood Sea Palace, he would encounter Li Changye again.
Another person he feared was Lu Changsheng.
With an invincible presence, Lu Changsheng reigned supreme over the small world where Mount Shu in the Mortal World lay, unmatched under the heavens.
“O miscreant disciple, why have you fallen into the Demonic Dao and betrayed the Righteous Dao!”
Upon seeing Xiao Xiangdao indeed mixed with the people from the Blood Sea Palace, Li Changye scolded him harshly the moment they met.
Panicking, Xiao Xiangdao was forced to release his suppression on Lin Qingzhi.
Xiao Xiangdao sensed that Li Changye’s realm was even above his own!
“How is this possible?”
Xiao Xiangdao had received the legacy of an Ancient Great Demon and was only at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, yet Li Changye had reached the Immortal Emperor Realm!
Your master is still your master!
“Master?!”
The despairing Lin Qingzhi was overjoyed.
Finally, he had seen his master Lu Changsheng!
Without Lu Changsheng, there would be no Lin Qingzhi today.
Lu Changsheng too was somewhat surprised to see Lin Qingzhi.
This once mediocre disciple had experienced successive moments of enlightenment and now was an eighth-level Daluo Golden Immortal.
The Heart of the Innocent’s capacity for enlightenment was extremely amazing.
“Junior Brother, leave it to me, I will personally clean up our sect.”
Li Changye’s eyes were fierce, and the fall of a disciple into the Demonic Dao pained him deeply.
“Alright.”
Since Li Changye wanted to take personal action to clean up the sect, then Lu Changsheng would not intervene.
Xiao Xiangdao was Li Changye’s disciple, and if Xiao Xiangdao had fallen into the Demonic Dao, it was only proper for Li Changye to do the cleansing.
Lu Changsheng then set his sights on the Blood Shark Demon Monarch.
The Blood Shark Demon Monarch, who was at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, was viewed as a powerful Great Demon Head by the ordinary disciples of the Green Duckweed Sword Sect, but to Lu Changsheng, he was insignificant.
Li Changye pulled out the Immortal Sword without saying anything else, but swung it at Xiao Xiangdao!
Li Changye was a disciple of an Immortal from Changliu, whose strength was only slightly less than that of Lin Xuantong. Coupled with the Changliu Holy Land Ancestor’s lifetime of cultivation passed on to him, Li Changye was at the first level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, his strength far surpassed Xiao Xiangdao’s.
To cleanse the sect, Li Changye’s first move was the Changliu Holy Land’s unique skill—Frost Sword Skills!
When sparring with Lu Changsheng, Li Changye’s Frost Sword Skills had once plunged even Lu Changsheng into a realm of sword illusions, let alone Xiao Xiangdao who couldn’t escape from the illusion.
The moment Li Changye’s sword struck, Xiao Xiangdao was trapped in an illusion, as if he had returned to the days of cultivating at Mount Shu, with Li Changye patiently guiding him…
As Li Changye was cleansing the sect, Lu Changsheng also acted against the Blood Shark Demon Monarch.

Lu Changsheng used the Divine Void Steps, his figure flickered, and space surged around the Blood Shark Demon Monarch. Lu Changsheng appeared above the Blood Shark Demon Monarch’s head and summoned the Liuding Divine Fire Furnace, pressing down directly!
The Liuding Divine Fire Furnace was an Emperor Soldier artifact meant for refining elixirs, but Lu Changsheng used it as a suppression weapon. With ample True Qi, strength was the key—it could suppress the Blood Shark Demon Monarch!
The Blood Shark Demon Monarch, under simultaneous attack from both Husan’s Green Duckweed Sword Formation and Lu Changsheng’s Liuding Divine Fire Furnace, suffered heavy injuries along with several hundred Blood Sea Palace experts!
The Blood Shark Demon Monarch was smashed down to the bottom of the earth by the Liuding Divine Fire Furnace!
The earth sank, and many formations within Luoxian Valley were affected, with countless winding cracks appearing on the ground and even spreading hundreds of miles away.
“Damn it!”
The Blood Shark Demon Monarch burst out from underground, but was immediately suppressed by Lu Changsheng using the Liuding Divine Fire Furnace again!
The unfortunate Blood Shark Demon Monarch, like a mole, was repeatedly smashed down to the bottom of the earth.
After several hard knocks, the Blood Shark Demon Monarch grew wiser and hid underground without emerging, using a secret technique to escape underground and reappear hundreds of miles away. Only then did the Blood Shark Demon Monarch burst out from underground, taking out a Spatial Talisman, intending to escape to safety.
After clashing with Lu Changsheng, the Blood Shark Demon Monarch realized Lu Changsheng was not to be trifled with. Now, preserving his life was his priority, and as for Xiao Xiangdao, dead was dead.
Among the people of the Demon Sects, it was common for one to forsake friends for one’s own survival.
However, like he had seen a ghost, the Blood Shark Demon Monarch realized that, undetected by gods and unnoticed by ghosts, Lu Changsheng had already pursued him.
“Go.”
Lu Changsheng then deployed the newly-acquired magical artifact, the “Fengling Net.”
As the Fengling Net was cast out, it spread like a celestial net, ensnaring the Blood Shark Demon Monarch.
The Blood Shark Demon Monarch tried to resist with all his might, but as the Fengling Net bound him and absorbed his True Qi, he found himself without any True Qi to escape.
“Spare me, and I will give you all my treasures!”
Knowing he couldn’t escape this disaster, the Blood Shark Demon Monarch quickly begged for mercy from Lu Changsheng.
“If I kill you, all your treasures will still be mine.”
“…”
The logic of Lu Changsheng left the Blood Shark Demon Monarch so defeated that he was rendered speechless.
While Lu Changsheng was capturing the Blood Shark Demon Monarch on one side, on the other, as Li Changye’s Frost Sword Skills were about to hit Xiao Xiangdao, threatening to scatter his soul, tears streaming down his face, Xiao Xiangdao murmured to himself, “Master, your disciple knows his wrongs, and is willing to abandon the darkness for light, to return to the Righteous Dao…”
Xiao Xiangdao fell to his knees with a thump, continuously kowtowing to Li Changye.
Li Changye halted his Longsword.
The Frost Sword Skills, a peerless technique, plunged Xiao Xiangdao into memories of days past.
Li Changye used this technique right from the start, hoping that Xiao Xiangdao would find his way back from his lost path.
If Xiao Xiangdao remained unenlightened till death, Li Changye wouldn’t stop, and this sword would sever Xiao Xiangdao’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
If Xiao Xiangdao did find his way back, then Li Changye would still grant him a chance at life.
“There is always someone better out there; if one harbors envy against fellow disciples and those more talented than oneself, when will it ever end? From now on, if you return to your master’s side, and do one good deed daily, committing no evil, it will take a million years before your master believes that you truly know your wrong and can change. Additionally, you need to apologize to your Disciple Brother and see if he chooses to forgive you.”
Thinking Xiao Xiangdao had realized his wrong, Li Changye sheathed his Longsword and approached his disciple.
To his surprise, Xiao Xiangdao’s face gathered a surge of black Qi, and in a sudden move, he struck out at Li Changye with his palm!
This palm was infused with the supremely yin Demonic Qi of an Ancient Great Demon, extremely vicious, striking Li Changye in the chest!
Even though Li Changye was of the Eternal Wilderness Body, without having cultivated it to perfection, he would still be corroded by the Demonic Qi.
“Pu.”
Li Changye vomited blood profusely, a black palm print appearing on his chest.
However, more painful than the physical trauma was the mental blow dealt to Li Changye.
He had thought his disciple would turn back from his misguided ways, never expecting that Xiao Xiangdao had no intention of repenting and was instead exploiting Li Changye’s compassion to betray him and destroy his lineage.
“I, Xiao Xiangdao, have finally had the chance to become a peerless powerhouse; why would I continue to cultivate with you?”
Xiao Xiangdao sneered and, seizing the opportunity before Lu Changsheng’s return, summoned his Demon Sword and fled through the air.
In order to launch a sneak attack on Li Changye, he had pushed himself to the limit, using the supremely yin Demonic Qi of the Ancient Great Demon within him. Once Lu Changsheng returned, Xiao Xiangdao would certainly not escape unharmed.
Li Changye was his master and held out hope, which provided Xiao Xiangdao with the opportunity.
But Lu Changsheng was different. Xiao Xiangdao was not Lu Changsheng’s disciple, and Lu Changsheng, when he acted, would not be merciful.
“Elder brother?”
Lu Changsheng, holding the Fengling Net that trapped the Blood Shark Demon Monarch like a fishnet, returned to find Li Changye gravely injured, the supremely yin Demonic Qi corroding his Eternal Wilderness Body, and he was greatly startled.
Lu Changsheng hadn’t anticipated his elder brother would be such a slave to emotion, and fall victim to a sneak attack by Xiao Xiangdao.
Lu Changsheng took out a small Mutton Fat Jade Vial, inside of which was a drop of “Three Lights Divine Water.” Just a single drop could bring back the dead and heal flesh and bones.
When the Three Lights Divine Water was dripped onto Li Changye’s chest, the supremely yin Demonic Qi was purified, allowing the Eternal Wilderness Body to begin healing itself.
“The Demonic Qi within Xiao Xiangdao is no ordinary matter.”
Seeing that even his brother’s Eternal Wilderness Body had been eroded by Xiao Xiangdao’s Demonic Qi and that Lu Changsheng had used the precious Three Lights Divine Water, he knew the Demonic Qi in Xiao Xiangdao was extraordinary.
Li Changye was still dazed at this moment, clearly deeply shocked.
The betrayal by his disciple had broken Li Changye’s heart, causing him to completely despair over Xiao Xiangdao.
“If elder brother cannot bring himself to do it, then from now on, as your junior brother, I will take on the responsibility to cleanse our ranks for you,” Lu Changsheng declared, his heart set on retribution.
Xiao Xiangdao’s attempt on his eldest disciple’s life was related to Lu Changsheng, and it had cost him the only drop of Three Lights Divine Water he had.
