<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"These traitors with their rebellious hearts still think they can be forgiven. How naive."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Ever since the Sword Master decisively killed Qi Ming, the former Immortal Emperor, in the Chaotic Void, Su Jingzhen knew that the Sword Land would inevitably be drenched in blood.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Nothing can be rebuilt without first being destroyed. Only after destruction can there be rebuilding.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If the Sword Master were to spare these traitors out of reluctance to lose their cultivation strength, chaos would inevitably erupt at critical moments.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master was not an indecisive person. He understood this principle very well.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Fourth Elder also unleashed their auras.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The pressure of the four Immortal Emperor-level experts suppressed the entire scene!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"To all the fellow cultivators from the Emperor Realm and the wider cultivation world who are watching from afar, let this serve as a warning.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Anyone who attempts to split the Sword Land or incites our disciples or elders, regardless of who you are, will face an unending vendetta!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master's gaze swept over the onlookers from various forces as he spoke in a loud, solemn voice.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His expression was extremely grave.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then he announced a piece of news that shocked everyone.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Hall Master of the Martial God Hall, Wu Lingtian, has allied with forces like the Great Zhou Immortal Sect of the Emperor Realm to invade our Sword Land, crossing a red line.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I hereby declare that the Sword Land and the Martial God Hall are now locked in a life-and-death struggle!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, the Sword Master's iron sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without hesitation, he swung the sword toward the traitors kneeling before him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Dozens of Immortal Kings and hundreds of Immortal Lords were annihilated in an instant, unable to put up any resistance.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even their souls were obliterated, sent directly into the cycle of reincarnation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Not a single one of them had a chance to beg for mercy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After the sword strike, the Sword Land headquarters fell into complete silence.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even the cultivators in Sword City who were watching from afar were overcome with awe and fear.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They had expected the Sword Master to execute the traitors, but they hadn't expected such decisiveness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, the declaration of war against the Martial God Hall carried terrifying implications with far-reaching consequences.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the onlookers also felt a sense of relief. Luckily, they hadn't tried to take advantage of it before.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Otherwise, they might have been reduced to mere energy in the world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Naturally, the news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the Emperor's Realm and the cultivation world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The great protective formation of the Sword Land remained active, not allowing any of the Sword Land disciples to leave.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Assess the casualties among our core disciples this time, and gather all the remaining disciples in the central square!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master gave another order.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and the Fourth Elder all nodded and immediately set out to carry out the order.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, the Sword Master turned his gaze to Su Jingzhen and the others behind him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He smiled wryly. "Young friend Su, I'm afraid our Sword Land has made a fool of itself in front of you this time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, I invite you to come with me to the central square. We may need your help again."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen naturally understood the Sword Master's intention of gathering all the core disciples.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Since even the Third Elder and so many Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings had been possessed by demons and had grown to such an extent, who knew how many reincarnated demons were still hidden among the disciples?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If they didn't take this opportunity to root them all out, they would remain a lingering threat.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If I can be of any help, it would be my honor," Su Jingzhen humbly replied.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, he knew that with the presence of the Ming Long and Yuan Shi in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, he might indeed be able to assist.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, even someone like the Third Elder, who had been possessed for so long without being detected by the Sword Master and the others, showed how cunning the demons could be.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if the Sword Master unleashed his full divine consciousness, it would be difficult to detect them unless they deliberately revealed themselves.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Soon, everyone arrived at the central square of Sword Land.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Within the time it took to burn a single stick of incense, all the core disciples of the headquarters had gathered.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Most of the core disciples had not been affected, so the casualties from this incident were not significant.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, over a million people of various cultivation levels had gathered in the central square.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Most of them looked at the Sword Master with fervent admiration.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, some of them were filled with confusion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Some of them didn't even know what had happened at the Sword Land Headquarters or why they had been summoned here.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They had clearly just emerged from seclusion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sword Master, all the core disciples who are currently at the Sword Land Headquarters have gathered.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There are still 25 Immortal King-level elders and 130 Immortal Lord-level elders left.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">More than half of the traitors at this level have been executed by the Sword Master. Our Sword Land has indeed suffered heavy losses among the higher-level cultivators.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, among the Immortal Emperors, only the Third Elder was lost."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After the assessment, the Grand Elder reported the specific numbers.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When he mentioned the Third Elder, there was still a trace of complexity in the Grand Elder's eyes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By now, they all knew that the Third Elder's actions had not been his own.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But as the Sword Master had said earlier, this was the Third Elder's fate.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master nodded, and the aura of a seventh-level Immortal Emperor instantly spread out.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It pressed down on all the core disciples gathered in the central square.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Feeling his overwhelming pressure, many of the disciples' expressions changed. Those with weaker cultivation couldn't help but tremble.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Most of the disciples were still below the Spirit Immortal level. If the Sword Master hadn't controlled his pressure, the cultivators at this level would have been reduced to ashes under such force.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the same time, the Sword Master and the elders' divine consciousness also spread out.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Anyone who showed abnormal reactions under the Sword Master's pressure would naturally be considered suspicious!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a dozen breaths, the Sword Master frowned.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Because after this round of screening, he hadn't detected any abnormalities.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Every core disciple and every elder seemed to react normally.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Second Elder and the others also felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If even the Sword Master couldn't detect the hidden demons within the Sword Land, the situation in the other forces was likely similar.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This would make things much more complicated.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If the Sword Master were to believe that there were no demon possessed individuals among the over a million core disciples present, he would be deluding himself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master frowned, took a deep breath, and then turned his gaze to Li Lingxi.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Elder Li, may I borrow your sect's Great Heaven Mirror?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When Li Lingxi had undergone her heavenly tribulation, the Great Heaven Mirror, though unable to withstand the power of the Five Element Tribulation, had still played a significant role.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Great Heaven Mirror wasn't just a powerful defense artifact.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It also had a little-known ability - it could see through most of the illusions in the world!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, Li Lingxi was stunned for a moment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then her eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she took out the Great Heaven Mirror.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen and the others were also instantly drawn to it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen murmured, "If the Great Heaven Mirror really works, then perhaps I won’t need to intervene after all."
