All things between heaven and earth have their cause and effect.

Chief Clerk Feihong sowed the seeds of evil in the past, and now he reaps the bitter fruits. Despite being an Upper Earth Immortal, and suffering such serious injuries, he still hadn't died immediately. His entire body was enveloped in a flow of red flames, as he desperately struggled, attempting to escape.

Unfortunately, that black Xuan Turtle was incredibly formidable, it seemed to be similar to Chu Feng's Demon Body, belonging to the category of demons, not ghosts.

Chief Clerk Feihong's neck was firmly bitten by it, making escape almost impossible.

"You evil disciples, harming me is a disrespect to the Sword Immortal City Lord, you are all traitors. When the City Lord comes out of seclusion, he will surely avenge this blood feud for me!" Chief Clerk Feihong, knowing he had no hope of survival, couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.

"Haha, even in death, you hope that Unbeatable Golden Spirit will avenge you? Stop deceiving yourself. You should know better than us the state that old undying is in. It's already a great fortune if he can come out alive. You and I both know how terrible the three tribulations and nine calamities of an immortal are. Unbeatable Golden Spirit has been in seclusion, don't think I, Ye, don't know what he's up to!"

Ye Yanying successfully cornered Chief Clerk Feihong, looking very pleased.

The two of them also had deep-seated hatred, openly and secretly fighting for many years. Both wanted to eliminate the other.

But at their level, killing the other was truly difficult.

Now that his wish was fulfilled, how could he not be happy?

Unbeatable Golden Spirit was a Perfect Realm Earth Immortal, one of the top existences in this world. As for exactly how many years he lived, only a few knew.

From Ye Yanying's words, it was not hard to deduce that the City Lord Jin Ling might very well have reached his lifespan limit.

"You are not allowed to curse the City Lord!" Chief Clerk Feihong shouted harshly.

"Is that a curse? Although we have cultivated to immortality, we ultimately are only Earth Immortal class. Everyone has three tribulations and nine calamities; the nine calamities can be resolved, but the three tribulations must be endured. Because cultivation is defying heaven, and heaven does not tolerate us, the tribulations become more severe each time. The saying 'no escaping the tribulation' comes from this."

Ye Yanying sneered.

As he talked about these high-level cultivation theories, he spoke with eloquence, not only knowledgeable but with unique insights.

"For us cultivators, there is a difficulty every thousand years, a major tribulation every ten thousand years. These are minor disasters; if you live over a hundred thousand years, a great tribulation will descend. Unbeatable Golden Spirit has lived for nearly a million years, even more formidable than a turtle, and has survived nine great tribulations. This time, it won't be so easy to get through."

"As far as Ye knows, in this world, only one Sword Immortal has lived over a million years. Although Unbeatable Golden Spirit has many methods, he's unlikely to survive the tenth tribulation. This time, he's surely doomed. So, you, the lackey of the Sword Immortal City Lord, might as well go in peace and stop hoping your master will avenge you."

Ye Yanying laughed proudly as he continuously repelled attacking Ghost Kings.

The fan-holding Ghost King and Granny Meng were the most formidable.

Especially Granny Meng, almost no one was her match.

Chief Clerk Feihong seemed unable to hold on, as his body suddenly radiated a dazzling red light, exuding waves of dangerous aura.

"Not good, this old villain wants to self-destruct!" Ye Yanying, extremely afraid of death, immediately floated backward, holding a Defensive Immortal Elixir in his hand.

Blind Chang rolled his eyes, calling to Chang Erliu, "Kid, hide behind me!"

This Old Demon Chang, merciless to others, cared deeply for his son.

Chang Erliu, knowing the seriousness, without a word, flashed behind Blind Chang. One could see Blind Chang retracting his expanded Sword Domain, encompassing both himself and his son.

His strength was three parts stronger than Ye Yanying.

However, Ye Yanying had an Immortal Level Talismanic Elixir, barely balancing their strengths.

After hiding in Blind Chang's Sword Domain, Chang Erliu looked at the distant, precarious Xiong Guansui. Clearly, he hadn't given up on Xiong Guansui.

"Xiong Guansui, if you agree to marry me, you can hide in my father's Sword Domain. It will definitely ensure your safety."

In the distance, Xiong Guansui, fighting myriad ghosts alone, seemed to ignore Chang Erliu's words.

She was like a proud and stubborn winter plum, maintaining her inner purity and persistence.

Boom!

Chief Clerk Feihong indeed self-destructed.

The terrifying energy shockwave instantly tore everything nearby. The black Xuan Turtle unexpectedly released a semicircular protective cover at the critical moment, protecting Zuo Mjun and itself.

Even facing the self-destruction of an Upper Earth Immortal, the protective cover remained unscathed.

This black Xuan Turtle was very mysterious, its power displayed was astonishingly strong. Its abilities might not be inferior to Granny Meng.

Zuo Mjun was fine, but others weren't so lucky.

Even Blind Chang's Solidified Sword Domain was torn apart in an instant. One could see the numerous things within his Sword Domain constantly being destroyed. However, he had comprehended the true meaning of the Slaughter Sword Dao.

Slaughter Sword Light continuously cut down the destructive forces, counteracting each other.

Protected within the Sword Domain, Blind Chang and Chang Erliu were both unharmed.

The Sword Immortal Level Sword Domain was incredibly powerful, equivalent to an independent Sword Dao World.

Ye Yanying apparently didn't have that much confidence in his own Sword Domain, as he immediately used a Defensive Immortal Elixir. A golden protective cover enclosed him. Not only was he extremely cowardly, but also heartless, cold, and selfish.

He even disregarded his niece, Ye Wu.

Ye Wu, on her part, had some life-preserving methods and at the critical moment, also used a Defensive Immortal Elixir.

Xiong Guansui, abandoned by these people, was positioned at the farthest location.

It was somewhat a blessing in disguise, greatly reducing the effects suffered.

Most miserable were the ghosts surrounding Chief Clerk Feihong, at least a hundred fierce ghosts instantly turned into nothingness. Two Ghost Kings also fled, heavily injured.

After Chief Clerk Feihong self-destructed, a small three-inch sword quickly shot far away. Its speed was extremely fast.

Since the entire Immortal Tomb is now closed, it was nearly impossible for it to fly out.

Yet a bizarre scene appeared, that small sword vanished with a swish. It seemed to be able to slice through space, directly escaping through space cracks.

If it were a human, doing so would be impossible.

Because after slicing through space, entering space rifts first subjects one to space storms and possibly being forever lost in spatial turbulence.

Every Sword Immortal has their own extraordinariness.

Especially a Sword Immortal at Chief Clerk Feihong's level, they were even more formidable, with endless means.

"Feihong escaped after all! What a pity!" Ye Yanying's eyes twitched with deep unwillingness.

"Hehe, so what if he escaped? It's just a soul!" Old Demon Chang didn't mind much. "Even if he successfully escapes and finds a body to possess and resurrect, it would take at least ten thousand years to restore his cultivation. By then, the Sword Immortal City would have a new owner, what do we have to fear?"

"That's true! But not completely eradicating the old villain Feihong is ultimately unsatisfying!"

Ye Yanying still felt a bit discontented.

Right now, what he and Blind Chang urgently needed to do was find a way to open the Immortal Tomb's door and escape.

It's hard to get in, even harder to get out.
