At this moment, not only did many cultivators and Emperor Xiao of Great Xia feel a desire to retreat, but the ten disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect operating the Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array also wore extremely grim expressions. The array they activated could resist attacks from Earth Immortals, yet facing the repeated self-destructions of tens of millions of Demon Crows, its power had already fallen by half. If they were to face the attacks of eight Pseudo-Earth Immortal powerhouses next, how could they possibly withstand the pressure?

Among the ten Immortal Sect Disciples, the team leader, Cao San Shi, after his expression shifted several times, raised his head toward the sky. "Senior Brother Cao Yu, what do we do about the current situation?"

The True Disciple of the Immortal Sect, Li Xiaohu, upon hearing his call, revealed an icy and arrogant look. He waved his hand to shatter an attack of Demonic Qi from Duobao Demon Venerable. Looking at the Demon Venerables who floated high in the sky, cloaked in Demon Flames, he said coldly, "I am Cao Yu, the True Disciple under Sect Leader Zhao Tiantong of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. The Immortal Cave Mansion that your Six Great Demon Sects covet is merely a trap I set to lure the cultivator who acquired the Immortal Artifact! There is no Immortal Cave Mansion here, no Immortal Corpse, and certainly no Immortal Relics!"

Upon hearing this, the ten Immortal Sect Disciples began to activate the Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array once more. The next moment, the array covering the center of the Sealing Demon Mountain Range started to move away, revealing the empty ground beneath. Li Xiaohu pointed to the central ground of the Sealing Demon Mountain Range and then looked at the Eight Great Demon Venerables. "There is no Immortal Cave Mansion, no Immortal Corpse, and certainly no Immortal Relics here! Venerables, if you seek the Immortal Artifact, why not cooperate with Great Xia to search for the cultivator who possesses it? Why must there be constant bloodshed? Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty is one of the territories under my master, Zhao Tiantong. Do your Six Great Demon Sects intend to attack my sect's disciples and ravage my master's lands?"

Upon hearing Li Xiaohu's words, the faces of the Great Xia Cultivators, including Emperor Xiao and others, all eased slightly. In truth, the Great Xia Dynasty was just a barren region among Zhao Tiantong's vast territories. What Zhao Tiantong truly cared about were the eight dynasties in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, rich in resources and filled with Immortal Herbs, Immortal Treasures, and Spiritual Objects. Even if the Great Xia Dynasty were to be conquered and change rulers, it would merely mean a different dynasty was managing the barren land for Zhao Tiantong. How could the Immortal Sect Leader truly care? However, having Cao Yu, the True Disciple of the Immortal Sect Leader, speaking up made a difference.

Meanwhile, the attacks from the Six Great Demon Sects were mostly focused on the other cultivators, not specifically targeting Li Xiaohu, as they were ultimately wary of an Immortal Sect's True Disciple.

Unfortunately, just as they began to relax slightly, the White Bone Demon Venerable, towering two thousand feet, burst into strange laughter. "True Disciple Cao Yu, our Six Great Demon Sects indeed dare not offend Sect Leader Zhao! Moreover, rest assured, True Disciple Cao Yu, we will only slaughter the Great Xia Cultivators. You and the ten Immortal Sect Disciples, we will spare; we definitely won't kill you! As for the matter of the Immortal Cave Mansion, do you think we, the Six Great Demon Sects, are fools? After over three years of investigation, we have long been clear whether there is an Immortal Cave Mansion here! This time, we're merely using the opportunity of the Immortal Cave Mansion, and the gathering of Great Xia's top cultivators, to slaughter these Great Xia scum! This is to prevent these Great Xia Cultivator curs from meddling when our Demon Sect disciples come to Great Xia for Artifact Refining and Banner Refining in the future!"

Li Xiaohu's face sank. "So, you don't plan to give me, the True Disciple of the Immortal Sect, any face?"

The White Bone Demon Venerable sneered and said nothing more, while the Fallen Crow Demon Venerable suddenly laughed loudly. "A True Disciple of the Immortal Sect has significant face? A True Disciple of the Immortal Sect is not an Immortal! We're sparing your life, not killing you, merely out of respect for Zhao Tiantong! Cao Yu, you have Zhao Tiantong and the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect behind you, and we have the Profound Yin Saint Sect of the Central Divine Dynasty behind us!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiao's face changed dramatically. He frowned deeply and said in confusion, "You claim the Six Great Demon Sects have joined the Profound Yin Demon Sect? That is absolutely impossible! The Profound Yin Demon Sect is renowned as the sacred ground of the Demon Sects across three thousand worlds. How could your Demon Sects from the Rakshasa Kingdom join them?"

The Fallen Crow Demon Venerable slowly flew toward Emperor Xiao, his voice tinged with mockery. "You of Great Xia spread the news of discovering a Fallen Immortal's Cave Mansion; we knew all along it was just a deceit! But what you don't know is that we, the Six Great Demon Sects, genuinely discovered a Fallen Immortal's Cave Mansion in Rakshasa Mountain of the Rakshasa Kingdom! The Immortal Corpse there has been offered to the Profound Yin Saint Sect, and their Saint Heir has refined it into an invaluable Immortal Puppet! The Saint Heir, delighted, has granted the Rakshasa Kingdom to our Six Great Demon Sects. We, the Six Great Demon Sects, are now under the Profound Yin Saint Sect, a branch of the Holy Sect! After we annihilate the Great Xia Dynasty and refine the countless beings on the lands of Great Xia into Demon Artifacts, we shall then eliminate the few Buddhist Sects still in the Rakshasa Kingdom! By then, the Rakshasa Kingdom will have no more Formless Buddhism, nor Supreme Buddha Sect, only us Six Great Demon Sects! HAHAHAHA!"

The Great Xia Cultivators present were aghast, their expressions shifting unpredictably. Emperor Xiao, Li Xiaohu, Sect Leader Hua, and others all had sinking faces. Even Lin Xuankong and Xiaoo Ying'Er felt a jolt in their hearts. They had initially planned to use the Immortal Cave Mansion as bait to lure the two Demon Venerables of the Fallen Crow Demon Sect and slay them... but instead, they had attracted eight Demon Venerables! Most importantly, the Six Great Demon Sects had actually found an Immortal Cave Mansion and joined the Profound Yin Demon Sect, which could contend with the Immortal Sects of the Central Divine Dynasty? If what the Fallen Crow Demon Venerable said was true, then these Eight Great Demon Venerables before them would act without restraint, no longer needing to be cautious even in the presence of the Immortal Sect's True Disciple, 'Cao Yu'!

"Retreat, retreat, retreat! Immediate retreat!" Emperor Xiao's expression changed several times before he decisively ordered, shouting loudly.

The hundred or so cultivators present immediately activated their True Qi, retreating frantically. Simultaneously, each cultivator quickly took out the Profound Truth Jade from their robes, continuously absorbing the True Qi within, then activating the Celestial Demon Bone inside them, attempting to swiftly open their respective Secret Realm Gates. Although cultivators could open the Secret Realm nurtured by their Celestial Demon Bone at any time after cultivating it, each opening consumed a significant amount of True Qi. Even opening a Tier One Celestial Demon Bone required five hundred points of True Qi. Opening a Tier Two Celestial Demon Bone required even more, a full fifteen hundred points of True Qi. Such consumption, while usually not particularly difficult for Tier Eight and Tier Nine Cultivators, was now a challenge. Having already expended large amounts of True Qi confronting Duobao Demon Venerable's attacks moments earlier, they now needed to absorb substantial True Qi to open their Secret Realm Gates.

After all, not every cultivator was like Lin Xuankong. Lin Xuankong currently possessed nearly ten million points of True Qi; opening a Secret Realm Gate at any time felt completely effortless to him.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Seeing everyone retreat, the White Bone Demon Venerable shrieked and waved his bone claw. Instantly, over a hundred Ninth-Layer Demon Cultivators from the Six Great Demon Sects flew out from the surrounding black clouds. These Demon Cultivators each targeted a Great Xia Cultivator, initiating long-range Demonic Qi attacks, consuming the Great Xia Cultivators' True Qi to prevent them from gathering enough to open their Secret Realm Gates and escape.

Several of the Eight Great Demon Venerables launched attacks towards Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, Celestial Sect Leader Hua, the Saint Dragon President, and Saintess Xiaoo Ying'Er. Among them, the Fallen Crow Demon Venerable gestured with a long arm. Millions of Demon Crows immediately converged, forming a terrifying giant crow with a wingspan of tens of thousands of yards, which then attacked Xiaoo Ying'Er. At this moment, even though Xiaoo Ying'Er possessed the Blood Bath Divine Skill, enabling her to rapidly absorb True Qi from cultivators of the Same Tier, how could she possibly absorb it all when confronting millions of opponents? This Fallen Crow Demon Venerable had clearly known Xiaoo Ying'Er's methods long ago. He did not engage her in close combat but instead manipulated millions of Demon Crows, intending to use their self-destruction to brutally bomb Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er to death.
