Faced with the attacks of the Nine Demons Sect and the Blood Demon Race, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s response was remarkably swift.

Within the Sect, countless Venerable Divinity Transformation and Refining Void Elders quickly mobilized, using the Ancient Transmission Array to travel across great distances and hurriedly rush to Ten Thousand Stars Island, providing timely support to the disciples and allies there.

The Profound Celestial Sword Sect, primarily composed of Sword Cultivators, excelled in cultivation techniques, with unparalleled power of slaughter. These Venerable Divinity Transformation and Refining Void Elders were all masters of the Sword Dao, skilled in swordsmanship and filled with sword qi, wielding Tier Five and Tier Six Spirit Swords, delivering heavy blows to the Demon Cultivators striking Ten Thousand Stars Island.

When they arrived at Ten Thousand Stars Island, the Demon Cultivators of the Nine Demons Sect and the Blood Demon Race were zealously massacring the cultivators on the island, but upon encountering the esteemed Sword Cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, their faces instantly displayed fear and despair. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The Sword Cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect descended like fierce tigers, delivering rapid blows to the Demon Cultivators attacking Ten Thousand Stars Island. Their sword techniques were exceptionally sharp, and sword qi interlaced, illuminating the sky above the island, with sword lights dazzling, sword qi like rainbows, and blood rivers rejoining.

"It’s the strong ones from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, they’re really fast!"

"Ancestor, it’s not working, our people are being heavily hit and are dying, we can’t win!"

...

The Demon Cultivators, who had just slaughtered hundreds of thousands of cultivators on Ten Thousand Stars Island, were suddenly turned upside down by the Sword Cultivators supported by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and cried out in terror, desperately seeking aid from Ancestor Wutian Demon.

However, Ancestor Wutian Demon was caught in a predicament himself. He, along with several Demon Ancestors, was held back by the Tower Protection Array of Li’s Treasure Tower and couldn’t lend a hand.

"Hold on for me, it’s almost done!" Ancestor Wutian Demon roared angrily, his eyes gleaming with madness, angrily glaring at his subordinates, casting with all his might, continuing to bombard the Tower Protection Array.

Under the combined assault of Ancestor Wutian Demon and his Demon Ancestors, the Tower Protection Array finally began to show cracks.

"Boom!" A loud explosion.

After exerting enormous effort, Ancestor Wutian Demon and several Demon Ancestors finally broke through the Tower Protection Array of Li’s Treasure Tower.

At the moment the Tower Protection Array was breached, Ancestor Wutian Demon, along with several Demon Ancestors, swarmed into Li’s Treasure Tower, fully unleashing his divine sense to search for the mission’s target.

Ancestor Wutian Demon’s gaze flickered with a cold glimmer as he unfurled his divine sense, like an invisible net, spreading outward to hunt for the target, his heart filled with anticipation—the target of this mission, Li Mu, should be hiding within Li’s Treasure Tower.

However, after scanning Li’s Treasure Tower multiple times with his divine sense, Ancestor Wutian Demon’s expression grew increasingly dark.

The entire Li’s Treasure Tower, aside from a dozen terrified, trembling staff members and an elderly Divinity Transformation Cultivator, the damned Li Mu was nowhere inside the tower.

A trace of enraged surprise flickered across Ancestor Wutian Demon’s eyes. They had gone through much trouble, risking great dangers to take down Ten Thousand Stars Island just to capture that Li Mu and question him about the whereabouts of the Water Mansion Key, yet at the moment of their expected success, the target turned out not to be inside the tower.

This horrifying outcome instantly soured Ancestor Wutian Demon’s mood beyond endurance, as the consequence was utterly unacceptable.

Ancestor Wutian Demon’s figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator. With a swift grab, he seized the Cultivator’s head. A cruel glimmer shone in Ancestor Wutian Demon’s eyes as he prepared to use the Soul Searching Technique on him, hoping to learn about Li Mu’s whereabouts through him.

Liu Huaiyi looked at Ancestor Wutian Demon’s merciless eyes, his heart filled with fear, attempting to resist, yet he shockingly found that his entire cultivation was utterly useless before Ancestor Wutian Demon, like a weak chicken awaiting slaughter, easily seized by Ancestor Wutian Demon.

Ancestor Wutian Demon’s strength was as boundless as an abyss, effortlessly suppressing all of Liu Huaiyi’s resistance.

Though Liu Huaiyi was a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, he appeared insignificant against Ancestor Wutian Demon’s absolute power. Ancestor Wutian Demon gave him no chance to escape, directly employing the Soul Searching Technique.

With Ancestor Wutian Demon’s gentle grip, Liu Huaiyi’s divine soul was extracted by a formidable force, his Divinity Transformation Realm divine soul captured handily, unable to resist or flee. Ancestor Wutian Demon’s divine sense, like a sweeping force, surged into the depths of Liu Huaiyi’s divine soul, effortlessly reading his memories, thoughts, and even the secrets buried deep within his soul.

Soon, Ancestor Wutian Demon’s expression turned increasingly grim. Through Liu Huaiyi’s soul search, he not only learned about Liu Huaiyi’s background but also clearly discerned Li Mu’s whereabouts. As it turned out, prior to their attack on Ten Thousand Stars Island, Li Mu had summoned Liu Huaiyi and prepared the transfer of Li’s Treasure Tower to him.

Right before their assault on Ten Thousand Stars Island, that alert kid had first perceived them before they could even land on the island. Then, abandoning the transaction of Li’s Treasure Tower, he immediately utilized the Five Elements Escape Technique to vanish early from Li’s Treasure Mansion with a female shopkeeper, whereabouts unknown.

"Wutian, what’s the result? Did you find him?" Ancestor Demon Blood Pool’s voice was icy and urgent, filled with tension, clearly fearing the consequences of the operation’s failure.

"Could he have escaped?" Another Demon Ancestor’s voice was also rife with unease. If Li Mu indeed fled ahead of time, then all of their plans would be dashed, and they would incur the Demon Lord’s wrath.
