Two groups fled at the same time, and Cangbao's Mother, not daring to delay even for a moment, reined in the remaining Corpse Evils, and, leading her disciples, fled toward Bado Mountain to the south. Elder Hao took off eastward to regroup with the rest of his disciples.
Cangbao's Mother had just taken flight, traveling less than a hundred miles while wrapped in Corpse Evils, when suddenly a red light flashed in front of her, and a Witch blocked her path, "Granny, where do you think you're going?"
Then the other eight Witches appeared around them, front and back, left and right, completely encircling her and her disciples.
Without giving them a chance to react, the Witches to their left, right, and behind them all opened their mouths and inhaled, and instantaneously, eight female disciples were drained of their spiritual energy, blood, and flesh from afar. In the blink of an eye, they turned into decayed skeletons and, along with the Corpse Stick, plummeted down.
These members of the Pima Sect were all orphans, some found by their Master with no parents since infancy, while others were lured away from their parents.
From a young age, they were taught to cultivate various Evil Skills, to sleep in graveyards, to dig up corpses, to scoop out innards, to boil Corpse Oil, to commit countless murders with cruel methods, each of them hardened and audacious.
Yet at this moment, as they watched companions being drained of their essence, blood, and flesh from dozens of feet away by the Demon, helplessly turning into skeletons, they were all terrified to the brink of death.
Cangbao's Mother shouted, "Fight them! Form the Heavenly Corpse Formation!"
Wielding the Corpse Stick, she utilized the Three Corpse Incarnations, splitting into three of herself, along with her true form - four in total, each one identical, each holding a Treasure of the Cave. She released the remaining Corpse Evils which formed a swirling cloud of grey and white Corpse Qi, protecting her disciples and warding off the blood-draining from afar, then ordered her disciples to link their Flying Sword Magical Treasures together to fiercely strike outwards.
"We must not let these Demons get close!"
At the same time, Shi Feiyang had caught up to the Sect Hierarch of the Black Evil Sect.
The elite disciples of the Black Evil Sect, cultivated for hundreds of years, had previously been blasted to smithereens by Shi Feiyang's Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder Net, significantly reducing the number of remaining Black Evil Sect followers.
Wrapped in a swirl of black Evil Qi, Elder Hao sped east, crying out, "Run! Run!"
He had only yelled twice when a vast expanse of colorful clouds surged ahead, stretching across tens of miles of wilderness like a red Great Wall, blocking the way forward.
Feeling intense light and heat on his tail, Elder Hao knew Shi Feiyang was catching up. Without even turning his head, he immediately used the Bone-Stripping and Body-Swapping Technique, shedding two finger bones from his hand, transferring them into two makeshift dummies while he himself turned into a wisp of black smoke and drilled down into the ground.
His two dummies, both in his likeness, shouted angrily, unleashing giant Black Evil Hands the size of small hills at Shi Feiyang, but before they could get close, they were melted away by the True Sun Fire.
Shi Feiyang, not wishing to harm the mountain forests, arranged ten Sun Illusions in the sky that covered dozens of miles. As they rotated and revolved, the Illusions generated dark vortexes with infinite suction force, extracting all the fleeing, fanatical followers of the Black Evil Sect from the woods.
The less fanatical members had already defected earlier during Dai Hengyu and others' sweeping assaults. Those who dared to follow the Sect Hierarch to attack Sunflower Valley today were all fervent cult followers.
Shi Feiyang, ruthless even towards himself, showed no mercy toward these cultists. Seeing some small animals from the woods getting sucked up, he used his Primordial Spirit to continually refine the targeting of his consciousness, locking only on the Black Evil Sect members, while all the small wolves, snakes, fishes, and insects were released back to the ground.
In total, over thirty thousand followers of the Black Evil Sect were incinerated to ash within the Sun Illusions, their Divine Souls destined for the Heavenly Mechanism Book.
Shi Feiyang searched the skies for the Sect Hierarch, spotting him as a wisp of grey smoke using an Escape Skill to rapidly flee underground, as the East was cut off by Five-Colored Divine Light and the West was filled with the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Sunflower Valley, intending to head south to regroup with Cangbao's Mother.
Previously they had planned to scatter and escape, but now seeing Shi Feiyang's ferocious terror, only by banding together could they hope to survive.
At the same time, this old wretch also thought, if they were to die, they would all die together; he couldn't let his own people die in vain, leaving others a chance to escape.
Shi Feiyang, with his will, locked on to him, and unleashed Five-Colored Divine Light to block his path ahead. A yellowish-brown Earth Essence Qi descended, hardening the ground into rock, tougher than steel. Then the dark green Jia Wood Essence seeped in, intending to completely trap him.
Elder Hao let out a great shout, scattering the black Evil Qi from his body, momentarily parting the Earth and Wood Divine Lights, and transformed into a wisp of black smoke, slipping through the gap and soaring from the ground.
He threw out a Black Evil Sword, and forty-nine Black Evil God Needles, hiding within them forty-nine "Black Evil Gods," attacking Shi Feiyang directly.
Shi Feiyang performed hand seals for casting, causing the ten Sun Illusions around him to start moving, one Sun absorbing his Black Evil Sword, another sucking in his Black Evil God Needles, while the rest absorbed his Black Evil Gods. As soon as the battle started, from behind in Sunflower Valley a long howl resounded. Suddenly a dark shadow shot up, took a quick glance around in the sky, and charged towards Shi Feiyang.
It was Red Flower's ghostly mother, Zhu Ying, whose Daoist power surpassed the other three by a great deal. Shi Feiyang's Liangyi Dust Formation could only restrain her temporarily. Now, she had figured out the trick and broke through. She came flying from behind, aiming directly at Shi Feiyang, simultaneously employing her Flying Sword, Flying Fork, and Flying Needle techniques. She then unleashed her Mountain Treasure, the Asura Hammer, carried with a sound like thunder, wrapped in red lightning, drilling towards Shi Feiyang.
