#156 - Demon Sealing Trial
The Holy Master said in a deep voice: "Putting these aside, in short, Xuanfeng, you have gone too far this time, damaging the reputation of the Cangxuan Holy Land. If the world finds out, they will think that we in the Cangxuan Holy Land are all so brutal..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qianxue said directly: "You were the one who asked Xuanfeng to mediate the war in the first place, and now that the war has been mediated, you are finding all sorts of reasons to make things difficult for Xuanfeng."
"Alright, I understand. Just tell us directly how the Holy Master wants to punish Xuanfeng, there's no need to beat around the bush so much."
"Let the Holy Master punish us as he pleases, so that the entire Holy Land and the world will know that Xuanfeng is upholding the majesty of the Cangxuan Holy Land and mediating the war between the affiliated sects, yet they are being punished and suppressed!"
"Xuanfeng should have endured the scolding and humiliation from the Blood Raven Sect and the Flying Eagle Palace, disregarded the reputation of the Cangxuan Holy Land, knelt down to apologize to them, and shamefully returned to the Holy Land. Only then would the Holy Master be satisfied!"
After saying that, Yun Qianxue turned around and left, not wanting to say anything more to the Holy Master.
After learning that Wu Yuan and the Holy Master's faction had plotted to target and harm Xuanfeng, Yun Qianxue also developed hatred towards the Holy Master.
In addition, she is now the acting Peak Master, and her status is not much lower than the Holy Master's, so she doesn't bother to be polite with the Holy Master.
"You, you... You're infuriating me!"
The Holy Master was so angry that he pointed a finger at Yun Qianxue's back, trembling slightly.
"Forget it, I shouldn't argue with such a shrew, it would be beneath the dignity of this Holy Master!"
"Xuanfeng... Hmph!"
The Holy Master took a deep breath, his expression uncertain, but in the end, he didn't dare to order the punishment of Xuanfeng.
Although he is the Holy Master, the Cangxuan Holy Land is not his one-man show.
If he goes too far with some things, and Xuanfeng makes a big fuss about it, even if he is the Holy Master, he won't be able to handle it.

"What? All four Lord Realm assassins were killed, and even a hair on Su Chen's head wasn't harmed?"
"Useless!"
"They're all useless trash!!"
Inside the Holy Son's cave in Sword Peak, the sound of shattering tables and objects could be heard.
Tang Chuan's eyes were somewhat red, and with one palm strike, he shattered the table in front of him, his heart filled with anger!
Those were four Lord Realm assassins, one of whom was even a powerhouse at the eighth level of the Lord Realm!
With such a significant loss, even if he is the Holy Son, the future hope of the Tang family, he will definitely be punished by the family this time!
Across from Tang Chuan, Wu Yuan stood with his arms crossed, coldly watching Tang Chuan's impotent rage.
"Tang Chuan, I gave you the opportunity, but you're useless!"
Wu Yuan sneered and said: "I told you long ago that there was something strange about Su Chen, and I told you to ask a Semi-Saint powerhouse to take action, but you refused, being so wishy-washy. Now that the war between the Blood Raven Sect and the Flying Eagle Palace has been mediated, I want to see what excuses you have to target them!"
"Forget it, there's no point in cooperating with someone like you. You can deal with Su Chen yourself in the future, don't call me."
Wu Yuan snorted coldly and turned to leave the cave.
Tang Chuan's eyes were red as he coldly watched Wu Yuan's departing figure.
Tang Chuan didn't believe that Wu Yuan would suffer such a great loss without seeking revenge.
Wu Yuan's choice to withdraw at this time must be to let the Tang family deal with Su Chen alone, so that he can reap the benefits!
Wu Yuan was sure that the Tang family, having lost four Lord Realm powerhouses, would definitely not let it go and would continue to attack Su Chen relentlessly!
Could it be... that we really have to ask the Semi-Saint ancestor to take action personally?
Tang Chuan's expression was uncertain.
The Su family has completely disappeared from the world,
leaving no trace or clue. Tang Chuan can only directly attack Su Chen.
But Su Chen usually stays in Xuanfeng, and there are not many opportunities to lure him away from the Holy Land.
The next time we strike... it must be a thunderous blow to completely kill Su Chen!
A murderous intent flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes as he made a decision that violated his ancestors' teachings.

Seven days passed in a flash.
Everyone in Xuanfeng was quietly cultivating.
Su Chen and Qing Ling both had extremely high aptitudes, and with the Heavenly Spirit Stones in hand, they both made significant progress.
Su Chen broke through to the eighth level of the Transformation Dao Realm, while Qing Ling broke through to the fifth level of the Transformation Dao Realm.
After Luo Qianqian awakened the Profound Yin Body, she also became more diligent in her cultivation, and her cultivation speed also increased a lot. In addition, after absorbing the Cold Moon Spring, she has now broken through to the peak of the ninth level of the Transformation Dao Realm and is currently attacking the Venerable Realm.
Yun Qianxue, with the help of Xuanfeng's numerous resources, also successfully broke through to the second level of the Lord Realm.
However, Yun Qianxue soon received a message.
Her expression immediately became somewhat ugly, and she immediately summoned everyone in Xuanfeng.
A moment later, Su Chen, Qing Ling, and the others all appeared in Xuanfeng's council hall.
"I just received a message from the Holy Master that in two and a half days, the Holy Land will open the Demon Sealing Trial. All disciples below the Lord Realm can participate, so be prepared."
Yun Qianxue announced the news.
"The Demon Sealing Trial... Is it going to open so soon?"
Zi Xuan frowned on the spot.
Qing Ling, Luo Qianqian, and Xia Qiuyue all looked blank.
Su Chen's expression was calm, not at all surprised by the news.
Yun Qianxue nodded and explained: "The so-called Demon Sealing Trial is related to a turmoil a million years ago."
"A million years ago, a spatial rift appeared in the Great Wilderness of Qingzhou,
connecting to a mysterious and unknown secret realm, inhabited by a powerful race that called themselves the Demon Race."
"The Demon Race had many strong individuals, not only led by a Demon Emperor, but also had hundreds of millions of Demon Race soldiers, who began to invade Qingzhou on a large scale."
"All the Holy Lands and Emperor Lineage Dao Gates in Qingzhou joined forces and finally quelled the turmoil. They even shattered the secret realm into seven pieces, scattered throughout Qingzhou."
"One of the secret realm fragments fell near the Cangxuan Holy Land, so it was designated to be suppressed by the Cangxuan Holy Land."
"The ancestors of the Cangxuan Holy Land swept through this secret realm fragment and discovered that it still contained terrifying demonic energy, which was difficult to completely eradicate, so they set up a Heaven-Connecting Grand Formation to wear it down day and night."
"This secret realm fragment is also known as the Demon Sealing Land."
"Although there is a grand formation suppressing it, under the cover of the dense demonic energy, many demonic creatures will be born every once in a while, and the demonic energy will also erode the formation, causing damage."
"The ancestors of the Cangxuan Holy Land used this to their advantage, opening the Demon Sealing Trial every once in a while, allowing the disciples of the Holy Land to go and kill the demonic creatures and strengthen the formation seal."
"The Demon Sealing Trial has continued for millions of years."
"Due to the constant erosion of the formation, the demonic energy and the demonic creatures that are born are also becoming weaker and weaker. In the past 100,000 years, there has been no need for Lord Realm powerhouses to take action, and the Demon Sealing Trial has become a training ground for the younger generation of disciples."
"The Demon Sealing Trial is also a competition for the disciples of the Holy Land. The disciples of the twelve main peaks compete with each other, and the Holy Land will reward the twelve main peaks based on the performance of the disciples in the Demon Sealing Trial."
"The top ten disciples in the Demon Sealing Trial will also receive extremely generous rewards
and be qualified to go to the most core treasure land of the Holy Land to cultivate!"
