After hearing Tie Shu's words, Shi Feiyang bluntly said, "Your nine demons wishing to return is absolutely impossible. The reason why I waited here for you is to make a deal with you. But given your attitude, it seems you are incapable of calm and rational discourse."

Tie Shu flew into a rage, "What did you say? Absolutely impossible? Do you think you can collect the divine demons of my sect and live to tell the tale? Be mindful, the hells of my sect can cast down your soul, making you suffer more than death itself."

This Shi Feiyang did know. The Stone God Palace and Iron City Mountain, those two old demons, were both adept at creating demon prisons. In the past, the master of the Stone God Palace set up the Eight Great Hells with magic in his own home, imprisoning many demons there.

The old demon from Iron City Mountain was even more extreme; he carved out his own little world and completely modeled it after hell. His "Iron City Mountain" derived from the Buddhist Ksitigarbha Sutra's description of hell's "Great Iron Wall Mountain". Inside, the great hells enclosed the middle hells, and the middle hells enclosed the lesser hells, an almost endless series, imprisoning countless demons.

The old demon possessed boundless mana and disdained ascending like the master of the Stone God Palace. Instead, he idly stayed in his own little world, ruling over his domain and only emerged every seven hundred and twenty years to take a look around.

Originally, Jiu Panpo and her sister Bodhisattva were together refining a Nine Child Mother Sky Demon, but her sister ran off with another man.

She herself also found a man, the Joyful Divine Demon Zhao Changsu, but then Zhao Changsu ran off with another woman.

Under the twin blows, she became enemies with her senior brother Sand God Child and almost got killed by him...

It was purely by chance that the old demon from Iron City Mountain emerged from seclusion at that time, passing on the Nine Heavens Secret Demon Mysterious Scripture to her, which greatly increased her power and allowed her to establish the Red Body Sect.

Jiu Panpo also had a hell in her house. The object of Zhao Changsu's infidelity was captured by her, and her divine soul was suppressed in the demon prison, endlessly tormented every moment, a pain so severe it could be called "ceaseless"!

Shi Feiyang said, "Even if your master said these words to me here, she would still be unworthy!"

Tie Shu let out an infuriated roar but did not attack, "My master forbids me from fighting with you all. I came here with good intentions, to avoid breaking the peace. If you return the divine demon, today's matter shall cease. Originally, we were unrelated. The 'Heavenly Demon' refined by my sect is different from yours. If you hastily return mine to me, wouldn't it be better to part as friends?"

Shi Feiyang had made up his mind to collect those nine demons for himself and stubbornly refused to return them.

Finally unable to restrain herself, Tie Shu released the Blood Flame Flying Fork, a legacy from her master, forged from the Child Mother Yin Soul and vile blood, specifically designed to corrupt other people's Flying Swords. Even the true Sword Immortals of the Mysterious Sect would have to retreat three steps when faced with the Red Body Sect's Flying Fork!

These Flying Forks originally belonged to Jiu Panpo, treasures that guarded the mountain in days gone by and had only recently been passed down to Tie Shu—nine in total.

Shi Feiyang recognized their strength and knew he could not simply seize them empty-handed as he might have against the juniors of other families. Raising his hand, he released five beams of light, the essence qi of the Five Elements: blue, red, yellow, white, and black, shooting straight forward.

The five streams of essence qi met with the nine Flying Forks, at a numeric disadvantage. If caught in a stalemate, with five against his five, the remaining four could swoop around to attack him from behind, putting him on the defensive.

The best tactic was to attack, forcing the opponent to defend.

With his profound cultivation, Shi Feiyang ignored her Flying Forks and sent five colored beams of light energy straight towards Tie Shu in a neat row.

Tie Shu hurriedly used the Flying Forks to defend; the five forks met the five streams of essence qi. With just a touch, the blood flame demon light on the forks dimmed, and Tie Shu had to use all nine forks together to resist but still couldn't hold back. As the five colored beams reached her, ready to pierce through her body, she had no choice but to retract all her forks and leap into the sky.

Reaching the clouds in irritation, she grabbed her hair from behind her head, brought it in front of her, and bit off a chunk fiercely. Muttering spells and casting magic, she opened her mouth and spewed forth a volley of rockets.

This was an extremely formidable technique from the Demon Path in the Nine Heavens Secret Demon Mysterious Scripture. Each strand of hair transformed into a rocket, trailing flames behind, and with a fiery demonic spark at the fore. Hundreds of them flew down like meteoric fire rain, drawing fiery trails from heaven and bursting into bright embers—a beautiful sight indeed!

Each "rocket" exploded upon touching the Five Elements essence qi, and at the same time, a yin wind with black pulses rose between heaven and earth; malice surged, dark clouds tumbled, as countless yakshas, evil spirits, and demons rose like a hundred-meter-tall tide of blackness.

The black fog, as though substantial, spread across the sky, oppressively heavy, bearing down like a landslide and submerging Shi Feiyang in an instant, pressing down on him from all sides, restricting his movements. Soon after, hundreds of rockets shattered the Five Elements essence qi, striking Shi Feiyang and exploding him into a dense cluster of sparkling embers, scattering in all directions.

Tie Shu did not expect that the Dragon Emperor of the South, who killed One Light Master, could be destroyed so easily. Distrust filled her heart as she hastily searched around.

Suddenly, from above, myriad streams of purple qi fell, enclosing all sides and then converging below her. In a moment, they formed a massive cage.

Tie Shu looked up and saw Shi Feiyang standing even higher, holding a Jade Ruler, and said to her, "If you can break out, not only will I return those nine demons to you, I will also give you this Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler that Guang Chengzi refined thousands of years ago. If you can't break out, I won't kill you. I just want to make a deal with you."

Seeing him underestimate her so, Tie Shu, with anger swelling in her heart, let out a piercing scream and lunged towards the heavens. In the process, she split into Three Corpse Incarnations, with two identical Tie Shus appearing to her sides, three witches in total, each wielding three Blood Flame Flying Forks, each performing a different spell.

The Tie Shu in the middle continued to propel an endless dark surge upwards like a volcanic eruption, mixed with a multitude of yakshas and evil spirits, charging at the forefront.

The Tie Shu on the left released large clusters of Demon Fire Blood Flames, each as big as a washbasin, rising and soaring upwards.

The Iron Shu on the right was casting a soul-capturing magic, spreading her arms wide as the leaves on her body fluttered away. She teased and posed, arms slicing and legs kicking, stepping through the fog and caressing the clouds.

She was inherently beautiful, with an exotic mixed-blood charm and pale skin. Tall with long legs, she didn't even need magic; such dance moves could overwhelm almost any man. Just a single fluttering thought, or a lingering glance at the sensitive areas, and one's primordial spirit would be snatched away from afar!

She actually took great pride in her status. This Nine Heavens Secret Demon Dance was one form of the Great Sky Demon Dance. Although she was a disciple of the Red Body Sect and clothed in mere leaves, she was reluctant to resort to such measures.

She was aware of One Light Master, a formidable figure within the Western Demon Cult. Though he couldn't compare to her own master and was faced with a time of misfortune, she knew she couldn't look down on him. As arrogant as she was, she understood she was most likely no match for Shi Feiyang, which is why she stooped to using this Heavenly Demon Dance...

Girls in the Red Body Sect retained their innocent forms, and this was the first time Iron Shu had employed this technique. Inside, she still felt a mix of shyness and expectation.

From the moment she started cultivating this demon skill, she believed no man on earth could escape her seductive attack. No matter how righteous, once she unleashed this technique, she was sure she could hook their souls...

Indeed, while the Black Dust and Blood Flame initiated by the other two Iron Shus were blocked by the purple qi that formed an impenetrable barrier, a cage that trapped her, her mana was utterly incapable of shaking it.

Only the Nine Heavens Secret Demon Dance had an effect. Through the hazy purple qi, although Shi Feiyang tried his hardest to stabilize his mind, he couldn't help but glance at her critical areas, and with just one look, his gaze glued onto her. The eyes are the sprouts of the heart; once the gaze clung to her, the heart naturally hung on her, and if the heart was ensnared, the divine soul couldn't escape.

Daoist scripture says, "The divine soul of a person likes clarity, but the heart disturbs it; the heart of a person likes stillness, but desires pull it."

Her magic was about using desire to lead the heart and capture the primordial spirit with the heart!

With just a slight beckoning, Shi Feiyang's primordial spirit left his body, crossing through the purple qi and floating toward her, arms wide open, hurtling into her embrace.

Iron Shu pressed her hand onto Shi Feiyang's head, her fingertips emitting streams of bloody qi that restrained him as she shouted fiercely, "Your life is in my hands now. Whenever I wish, I can refine you into a demon, or even throw you into Black Hell to suffer a fate worse than death a thousand times over!"

Shi Feiyang's face flushed red, exhaling hot breaths and grabbing her arm while extending his tongue to lick her hand.

"Dear sister, dying at your hands would be the best ending to my life... I'll do anything you ask... dear sister, please let me embrace you..."

She felt Shi Feiyang's masculine breath and, for an instant, her mind wavered at the magnetic quality of his male voice calling her "dear sister," wanting to hug her. Her heart skipped uncontrollably.

After all, she was raised by Bodhi since her infancy and she realized immediately that this was not good, pulling her mind back in line. Bodhi once said that they used magic to capture men, but absolutely must not fall for them, or else the tables would turn and they would become the ones ensnared.

She quickly gathered her thoughts, hardening her heart to the steely resolve, and clenched down harder, causing blood to flow from Shi Feiyang's head.

"Do you doubt I could crush your skull?"

Shi Feiyang replied, "Dear sister, as long as you let me hold you, you can treat me as you wish... even if you kill me, I will have no complaints..."

Hearing his reply, Iron Shu felt a surge of pride. The true cultivation of the Demon Path was to make the other party willingly do things for them, even embrace death voluntarily. Methods that muddled the mind and left victims unaware of their actions afterward were just deceitful tricks of the Demon Path, unworthy of mention.

She could make the man who killed One Light Master die willingly at her hands. Her skill had reached its peak!

As she reveled in her triumph, Shi Feiyang began to burn. Flames burst out from within, incinerating his clothes to ashes as he grabbed her arms and threw himself on her.

She found herself entranced by the man's voice, intoxicated by his breath, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably, her face flushed and ears reddening, until, enveloped in smoke, she was suddenly seized in an embrace and they tumbled into a roll, losing their footing in mid-air and plummeting down from the clouds.

Iron Shu tried to fly, but she was held tight in Shi Feiyang's embrace, utterly immobilized.

"What are you doing?! Even with years of cultivation, falling like this could shatter the body into pieces, however, she was firmly held, unable to pinch signals or cast spells. Not only that, but when she attempted to summon demons through incantations, it was as though they were all sealed. The Shi Feiyang holding her had become like a stone, a huge chunk of iron, taking her down with him at increasing speed.

"You let go—", she screamed, but to no avail. Just as they were about to smash into the ground, she managed to struggle free, her limbs finally movable. She leaped and somersaulted, going from being upside down to right side up, only to find herself still within the purple qi cage amidst the clouds.

The Black Dust and Blood Flame she had initiated had vanished, as if they never existed.

Turning to Shi Feiyang, he stood above her, impeccably dressed, holding a Jade Ruler in one hand and the other palm facing upwards, with her Nine Blood Flame Flying Forks revolving slowly in a circle above it. She was shocked, trying to cast spells to summon them, but felt nothing.

She stared at Shi Feiyang, saying weakly, "Have you also cultivated the Heavenly Demon Dance?"

Shi Feiyang said to her, "Though I do not know the Heavenly Demon Dance, I know the principles of defeating demons and being dominated by them."
