Chen Xie successfully baits dozens of five-star influences into attacking the Immortal Sect, leaving them under the impression that they will witness the sect's downfall. As the punitive forces arrive at Star Sword Mountain, the gathered crowd is bewildered to find no sign of the expected destruction or resistance. The coalition forces, weakened by the absence of their strongest experts, suddenly face an eerily silent Immortal Sect and now find themselves confronted by an indifferent representative from within.

A collective gasp rose from the onlookers above, their disbelief palpable.

Is the Immortal Sect filled with such reckless madmen?

It is nothing more than a Divine Profound Realm demon, yet they behave as if it were a god!

Observing the Earth Unrestricted experts hovering in the distance, one could see their profound hesitation; they allowed the creature to drift lazily above the Immortal Sect, enduring its blatant mockery.

"To be a mere Divine Profound Realm demon and dare speak so brazenly?"

Among the group of thirty, one short-tempered fellow could no longer restrain his fury. With a sharp shout, he ignited his four Meridian Gates, causing a brilliant display of power.

His aura pressed down like a falling mountain, suffocating and vast.

However, Qin Shan remained utterly unbothered, circling slowly before delivering a remark that left the entire crowd stunned.

"Even those powerful five-star influences fled in terror last night; why would you insignificant ones dare to show your faces? It defies all logic."

At these words, many of the Earth Unrestricted experts felt a chill run down their spines.

They ran?

Impossible!

"Enough of your empty threats! How can a pathetic, small-time Immortal Sect possibly intimidate us?"

"Attack! Strike him down!"

"I want his head!"

A band of Earth Unrestricted experts surged forward to initiate the fray, their own Meridian Gates blazing into life one after another.

Only then did Qin Shan begin his retreat.

After one final loop, he dove straight toward the Immortal Sect below.

Witnessing his withdrawal, the Earth Unrestricted experts felt a glimmer of pride. For some inexplicable reason, forcing a Divine Profound Realm demon to flee granted them a sense of accomplishment. But that triumph was short-lived, vanishing in the very next second, replaced by absolute shock.

They stood frozen, completely dumbfounded!

"What is the point of threatening me? If you have the backbone, go ahead and threaten him!"

With those parting words, Qin Shan vanished into the safety of the Sect.

A burly figure clad in deep black robes soared into the sky, his eyes scanning the thirty Earth Unrestricted experts with a look of utter boredom. As he halted in mid-air, a heavy silence fell, and every breath was held in anticipation.

Not a single one of the thirty-plus Earth Unrestricted experts dared to advance a single inch.

Those who had been aggressively channeling their Meridian Gates abruptly halted their momentum and instinctively began to fall back.

The reason was simple: the man blocking their path was the Sword Demon!

A name that had struck terror into their hearts three decades ago.

They were aware he had returned to the Wind Field recently, yet his trail had gone cold, leaving them in the dark regarding his whereabouts.

The Sword Demon was a nightmare to all, a man who slaughtered without prejudice, caring nothing for status or powerful backers. It was widely whispered that even with a Celestial Unrestricted expert as a protector, the Sword Demon would still dare to bathe in their blood.

And here was that very monster, emerging from the Immortal Sect.

"The Sword Demon!"

"He has actually aligned himself with the Immortal Sect!"

"Cursed be this day!"

Despair painted the faces of the Earth Unrestricted experts.

The Sword Demon spoke then, his voice cold and annoyed: "How incredibly taxing, coming to bother me while I am in the midst of Culivation."

With that, the group of thirty remained deathly silent, not a single one daring to offer a rebuttal.

They feared that even a polite word might mark them as the first victim of his wrath.

The onlookers were equally hushed, subdued by the terrifying presence of the Sword Demon.

While the common folk knew little of his history, those who had reached the Mountain Suppression Realm thirty years ago remembered all too clearly just what this man was capable of.

Had a force like the Rokong Family arrived, the outcome might have been uncertain—the Sword Demon was, after all, only one man.

But they were not here!

The tides of the battle had shifted in an instant!

Sect Leader Wan Changqing of the Heaven-Defying Sect and Elder Hao Qing, who had initially written off the Immortal Sect, now watched with wide, glimmering eyes.

The Sword Demon had joined them!

There was hope for the Immortal Sect after all!

Thirty years ago, the Sword Demon had been at the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm.

To what heights had he ascended since then?

"Truly, we are nothing more than frogs in a well," Wan Changqing sighed, humbled.

Hao Qing nodded in solemn agreement. "Who could have imagined the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect was capable of recruiting such a monster? Could it be that those Middle Realm experts stayed away simply because they knew he was hiding here?"

Wan Changqing shook his head before nodding, his response swift: "Do not guess. The Immortal Sect is a mystery beyond our feeble comprehension."

"I shall cease my idle speculation. We are but ants, unable to see the true expanse of the sky."

Hao Qing shut his mouth, retreating into silence.

High above, the Sword Demon loomed over the thirty men, his voice slicing through the air once more: "The Sect Leader has commanded that I kill half and spare half. Who wishes to live, and who is eager to die?"

Without pausing for an answer, he unleashed his internal power, forcing his Meridian Gates open.

The crushing pressure of an Upper Realm Earth Unrestricted expert washed over the earth.

The crowd gasped in terror.

Upper Realm!

He had actually reached the Upper Realm!

The faces of the thirty Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm experts soured instantly, as if they had been force-fed filth. They scrambled for any chance to negotiate.

"Senior Sword Demon!"

"Let us discuss this!"

"Please, I wish to live!"

All traces of their former arrogance vanished, replaced by the desperate, cowering pleas of men faced with their own mortality.

The Sword Demon ignored their cries. A blade of deepest black materialized in his grasp, and his four Meridian Gates groaned under the strain. A surging, malevolent Qi began to coil around his saber, radiating a lethal intent that struck at those miles away.

He had not even unsheathed the weapon, yet its aura alone left them trembling in the dirt!

Holding the blade aloft, the Sword Demon issued his final ultimatum: "Those who want to survive, descend to the ground. Those who wish for death, stay where you are."

Kill half, spare half—such was the Sovereign’s decree.

The Sword Demon burned with impatience, but he would never dream of defying Wen Ping’s orders for the sake of these lowly fools.

To everyone's astonishment, all thirty of them plunged toward the earth instantly, leaving the sky completely void of life.
