Chapter 1348 Breaking through the mountain by force

In a place where Zhou Yiqiao and the others could not see, Li Jianlan suddenly opened his eyes and glared at the magic sword inserted beside him.

The next moment, the magic sword began to vibrate violently.

The evil energy covering the female cultivator's body seemed to be expelled by something. Not long after it merged with the female cultivator, it retreated back into her body.

As the evil spirit was dispersed by Li Jianlan's gaze, the distortion on the female cultivator's body began to intensify, and her face became more and more hideous.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai knew that this was a great opportunity, and without any hesitation, they immediately increased their offensive.

The green light on Zhou Yiqiao's Dusk Sword became brighter, the sounds of wind and thunder became louder, and the sword energy poured down like a violent storm, cutting the female cultivator's body into countless wounds deep enough to see the bones.

Li Mubai's Star-Sinking Sword was like a falling star. Every time it was swung, it carried the power of a falling star, smashing the female cultivator's body into pieces.

Under the attack of the two, the female cultivator was finally unable to maintain her human form. Demonic energy mixed with flesh and blood, and she let out a shrill wail.

Her eyes lost focus, leaving only pure madness and despair, but even so, she still fought desperately, trying to fight back with her last bit of strength.

How could Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai give him a chance?

The two men saw that the female cultivator controlled by the magic sword spirit was at the end of her strength, so they no longer held back and used all their spiritual power to control the magic swords, each of which slashed out a dazzling sword light.

"boom!"

"boom!"

There were two earth-shattering noises, and the female cultivator's body was dismembered, with blood raining all over the sky.

Just as blood and flesh were flying everywhere, a dark light suddenly burst out from the remains of the female cultivator. It was the real body of the demon sword spirit, which tried to escape the deadly encirclement by taking advantage of the chaos.

But at this moment, Li Jianlan moved.

His movements were not fast, but in a moment he appeared on the escape path of the Demon Sword Spirit.

He pointed his right hand into a sword shape and swung it casually. The magic sword that was stuck in the ground made a humming sound, flew up by itself, and fell into Li Jianlan's hand.

Li Jianlan held the magic sword in his hand, and the aura emanating from his body changed instantly. His originally lazy attitude was replaced by an extremely sharp sword intent.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, as if it could see through all illusions and point directly to the origin of the magic sword spirit.

That dark light, which was the spirit of the magic sword, seemed to be frozen under Li Jianlan's sword intent, and its escape momentum was forcibly curbed.

It seemed to be aware of the extraordinary nature of the man in front of it, and waves of fear emanated from its light.

Li Jianlan did not say much. He just gently waved the magic sword in his hand, and an invisible sword energy shot out from the magic sword, catching up with the dark light like a shadow.

The sword energy gently circled and bound the magic sword spirit tightly. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape at all.

This scene shocked Zhou Yiqiao deeply.

Although he had long guessed that Li Jianlan's strength was unfathomable, he had never imagined that the other party was so powerful that he could not only easily suppress the magic sword, but also forcibly control the magic sword and capture its sword spirit alive.

Li Jianlan seemed to have done something insignificant. He turned his wrist and the dark light was pulled in front of him.

Then, he stretched out two fingers and gently pinched them. The light of the magic sword spirit suddenly stopped and was directly crushed by him, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating in the air.

After the battle, Li Jianlan returned to Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai. He regained his casual temperament and was completely different from the swordsman who had dominated the entire audience just now.

Li Mubai still maintained that indifferent attitude and did not speak, while Zhou Yiqiao bowed and spoke sincerely.

"We are lucky to have Senior Li by our side this time. Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort for the two of us to suppress the Devil Sword Spirit, let alone completely destroy it."

Li Jianlan waved his hand, casually put the magic sword back on his waist, and said jokingly.

"Young friend Zhou knows etiquette and is much more sensible than a useless and bad-tempered disciple like me."

As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and a gentle force lifted Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai up, ready to take them back to the Tijian Sect.

"Senior Li, I have a favor to ask of you."

Zhou Yiqiao suddenly spoke.

Li Jianlan raised his eyebrows and said.

"What's the matter?"

"I need to go back to the Netherworld Demon Sect. I wonder if you can give me a ride first?"

Zhou Yiqiao requested.

Li Jianlan seemed to have heard something interesting, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"You want to return to the Netherworld Demon Sect!?"

Zhou Yiqiao didn't understand, but nodded and said.

"Yes, the junior has some things to take care of."

Hearing this, Li Jianlan curled up a playful smile and his eyes moved between Li Mubai and Zhou Yiqiao.

"Interesting. Since you insist on going back to the Netherworld Demon Sect, why wouldn't it be a problem for Li Mubai and I to accompany you on this journey?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai showed a hint of surprise on their faces, especially Li Mubai, who was ready to accuse Li Jianlan of acting on his own, but found that he could not utter a word.

Li Jianlan looked at Li Mubai with a smile, as if he had known about it for a long time.

"Master knew that you, a young man, would be so talkative again. Fortunately, Master acted quickly, otherwise I would have heard you disrespect your elders and contradict Master again!"

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Zhou Yiqiao and spoke as if he was enjoying the fun.

"I heard from my uncle that you are not happy with the top leaders of the Netherworld Devil Sect. Are you going back to end it all, or do you want to go back and ask for an explanation?"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that with the strength of the Tijian Sect, as long as they wanted to know, the entanglement between him and the Netherworld Demon Sect was probably no secret.

Thinking of this, he said frankly.

"To be honest, senior, there are both sides. There are both personal grudges and misunderstandings between me and the Netherworld Demon Sect."

"This time I went back not only to solve a personal problem, but also to seek enlightenment."

Li Jianlan nodded, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he seemed quite satisfied with Zhou Yiqiao's honesty.

"Very good. To have a clear mind is the most important thing for a practitioner."

“Since you have made up your mind, I will lend you a helping hand.

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, rolled up Zhou Yiqiao and Li Mubai, and fled straight towards the direction of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

Li Jianlan's escape speed was extremely fast. Considering the low cultivation levels of Zhou Yiqiao and the other two, he was still able to appear in the territory of the Netherworld Demon Sect in half a cup of tea.

As a looming towering peak appeared in the sight of the three people, the surrounding environment became visibly gloomy.

As the three approached the mountain gate, the alarm bell of the Netherworld Demon Sect rang loudly.

Obviously, the arrival of the three uninvited guests has attracted the attention of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

The bell fell silent for a moment, and then a figure flew out from the clouds.

He was an elder in the fusion stage. His eyes were as sharp as a knife as he glanced coldly at the three people.

When his eyes fell on Zhou Yiqiao, his pupils suddenly shrank, obviously recognizing his identity.

There was a hint of a sneer on his face, and his voice was like an ice blade in the cold winter, harsh and cold.

"Zhou Yiqiao, how dare you bring people into my Netherworld Demon Sect without permission, what is your intention?"

The elder's voice was filled with anger, which did not sound like the attitude he would use towards someone from the same clan.

Zhou Yiqiao was about to speak, but Li Jianlan stopped him with a gentle wave of his hand.

Li Jianlan took a step forward, still smiling faintly with his lazy temperament.

"Don't blame me, little friend Zhou. It was my idea to trespass into the Netherworld Demon Sect."

Upon hearing this, the elder in the fusion stage frowned slightly and his gaze stayed on Li Jianlan for a moment. He did not sense any overly shocking aura from this seemingly casual man.

He thought to himself that this person might have some abilities since he was able to bring two young men with Nascent Soul cultivation into the sect. However, it was difficult to determine his true strength based on his appearance alone.

Thinking of the sect's top leaders' attitude of abandoning Zhou Yiqiao, the elder's tone became even more impolite.

"Humph, no matter whose intention it is, trespassing into the Netherworld Demon Sect is a provocation to the dignity of our sect. Do you think that there is no one in my Netherworld Demon Sect?"

Li Jianlan's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Then I'd like to see how the Netherworld Demon Sect prevents me from leaving."

After he finished speaking, he did not make any movement, but the air around him seemed to freeze for a moment.

An invisible pressure quietly spread out, causing the expression of the elder in the fusion stage to change slightly.

In just a moment, he realized that the sloppy man in front of him was probably much stronger than him.

At this moment, several figures flew out from the Netherworld Demon Sect. They were all high-level members of the sect, and they were obviously alarmed by the alarm.

The combined elder seemed to have found a backer. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and started to criticize Zhou Yiqiao again.

"Elder Qian! Elder Wu! Zhou Yiqiao brought outsiders to our Netherworld Demon Sect without permission. This is a disrespect to our Netherworld Demon Sect and must not be easily forgiven!"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Jianlan again and shouted sternly.

"Which sect are you from? Tell me your name. If not, don't blame us for being rude!"

Upon hearing this, several elders looked at Zhou Yiqiao and Li Jianlan and Li Mubai beside him, with different expressions.

One of the elders, who was dressed in black robes and had a stern face, said in a deep voice.

"Zhou Yiqiao, although you have been ordered to go to Qinjian Villa, you are still a disciple of my Netherworld Demon Sect after all."

"Today you knowingly committed a crime and led people into the mountains. What was your intention?"

When Li Jianlan heard an elder talking about Zhou Yiqiao, a hint of displeasure flashed in his distracted eyes.

He shook his head slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"I've already said that I'm the one who wants to take Zhou Xiaoyou to force my way through the mountain. It has nothing to do with Zhou Xiaoyou."

"If you, the Netherworld Demon Sect, really want to investigate, then come find me. What's so great about bullying a junior?"

After saying that, Li Jianlan slowly raised his right hand and lightly waved his fingertips. Suddenly, a powerful wave of spiritual power swept out in all directions with him as the center.

The faces of several elders of the Netherworld Demon Sect changed the moment they came into contact with the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Several people discovered that in just a moment, their spiritual power was completely blocked and they were unable to move!
