The two most famous demonic arts of the Red Devil School were the Crimson Refining Demonic Art and the Crimson Soul Demonic Art.
The Crimson Refining Demonic Art focused on the body, the construction of the Yellow Court Dantian, the accumulation of Qi and blood in the middle Dantian, and the control of fiery energy.
The Crimson Soul Demonic Art focused on cleansing the soul and condensing Spiritual Sense and Soul Thought.
The two demonic arts complemented each other.
Dark Moon City's Autumn Boat cultivated the two demonic arts at the same time, but there was a problem with the Crimson Refining Demonic Art, which led to Qi Deviation and fire poison invading his Mind Ball.
Duan Guanlan probably didn't cultivate the Crimson Refining Demonic Art. He only secretly cultivated the Crimson Soul Demonic Art when he was in the Breaking Profound Realm.
This demonic art could allow one to see the wonders of Spiritual Sense before reaching the Subtle Realm.
If one cultivated the Crimson Soul Demonic Art well, they could condense Spiritual Sense before reaching the Subtle Realm.
Once they reached the Subtle Realm, they could cultivate some of the Primal Yang Sect's spiritual arts to cleanse their Spiritual Sense and remove the traces of the Crimson Soul Demonic Art.
However, the Primal Yang Sect and the Red Devil School both walked the path of Yang. One was righteous, and the other was demonic. They were like fire and water.
As one of the greater sects of the Tianyuan Continent, the Primal Yang Sect was naturally stronger than the Red Devil School. When the two continents fought, the Primal Yang Sect would choose to attack the Red Devil School first.
It was rumored that the Primal Yang Sect and the Red Devil School had a relationship before ancient times.
The Primal Yang Sect eventually became one of the three greater sects of the Tianyuan Continent. Although the Red Devil School couldn't become a colossus like the Devil's Palace or the Goblin Temple on the Tranquil Continent, its strength and foundation couldn't be underestimated.
In short, the Primal Yang Sect and the Red Devil School were famous for not getting along.
As a disciple of the Primal Yang Sect, Duan Guanlan might have been able to survive if he secretly cultivated another sect's spiritual art.
If the Primal Yang Sect found out that he cultivated the Red Devil School's demonic arts, he would die for sure.
"Whoosh!"
The Yin Spirit of the old man from the Duan Clan, who was also at the Yin Spirit stage, transformed into countless flaming devilish characters after his Yin Spirit was shattered.
With just a glance, Yu Yuan knew that the demonic arts that person cultivated were also from the Red Devil School.
He was almost certain that this person was the one who had taught Duan Guanlan the Crimson Soul Demonic Incantation!
Like Qin Yun, he was also at the pinnacle of the Yin Spirit realm. After he broke free from the sword mark, his injuries were much lighter than Qin Yun's.
This person seemed to be the one with the highest cultivation base and the most honorable status among the Scarlet Sun Empire's reinforcements.
"Duan Tianhong!"
Qin Yun suddenly rose up and transformed into a bolt of lightning that suddenly arrived.
One Azure Sun Arrow after another quietly emerged from his dantian, all of which were aimed at the tall old man in a long red robe.
Boom!
The elder called Duan Tianhong raised his palm and struck out.
Suddenly, numerous flame runes gathered above Wu Zimo's head to form a blazing lava pool.
The crimson lava pool was formed by the fusion of spiritual energy and Qi and blood. Flaming talismans flickered within the pool.
Wu Zimo from the Primal Yang Sect turned pale with fright as she asked, "Uncle Duan, you...?"
Streaks of dazzling red light shot out from the colorful belt at her waist towards the falling lava pool.
Then, she looked at Duan Guanlan, who was standing next to her, with eager eyes. "Senior Martial Brother Duan?"
Her eyes were filled with fear and pleading.
Duan Guanlan turned around and looked away, as if he couldn't see her.
Duan Tianhong didn't say a word.
The lava pool suddenly fell, and the streaks of dazzling red light were instantly engulfed.
Wu Zimo from the Primal Yang Sect was also engulfed.
Peng!
A ball of flame exploded in the lava pool formed by flesh aura, spiritual energy, and soul awareness. The lava pool was filled with a violent, sulfuric aura and a strong smell of blood.
The smell of blood only lasted for a moment before it was burned away.
The red-robed Duan Tianhong took a step forward and stood at the bottom of the lava pool. He glanced at Qin Yun, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Qin, Guanlan is a seed that the Red Devil School arranged to enter the Primal Yang Sect."
Qin Yun smiled bitterly. "Why are you telling me this?"
PFFT!
Another Duan Family Yin Spirit broke free from the soul shackles of the sword mark and spat out blood.
He was at the middle stage of the Yin Spirit realm. Standing next to Duan Tianhong, he asked Duan Guanlan, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Duan Guanlan shook his head and swallowed a dark red pill, saying, "It's my fault. I was too anxious. I wanted to enter the Subtle realm as soon as possible so that I could receive the favor of an elder of the Primal Yang Sect and be accepted as a core disciple."
"It's fine." The Duan Family elder who had just broken free patted him on the shoulder and said, "No one will know."
The moment he said this, the expressions of everyone present became extremely unsightly.
Yu Yuan sighed and said, "Erm, can we pretend that nothing happened?"
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Pillars of flame mixed with countless crimson crystals shot out of the lava lake and attacked the people from the Scarlet Sun Empire who were still comprehending the wonders of the sword mark.
The Yin Spirit of the other old man with the surname Duan appeared in the air like a fiery god.
An ancient crimson bell was carried by him and flew into the sky.
The crimson bell enveloped the other powerful experts from the Scarlet Sun Empire from afar.
"Duan Tianhong!"
"Duan Tianxi!"
Some of the grand cultivators who sensed that something was wrong suddenly broke free from the sword mark and spat out blood. Their souls returned to their bodies.
A beam of fiery light shot towards one of the Initial Yin Spirits, causing his flesh and blood to explode instantly.
The man's Yin Spirit transformed into an orange spear and tried to escape.
Inside the pillar of flame, thousands of shattered crimson crystals fell like rain and wrapped around the orange spear.
The spear was cleansed by the rain of fire.
"Duan Tianhong, can I just pretend that I didn't see anything?" At this moment, Qin Yun could only bite the bullet and say, "I didn't know that you and your brother had entered the Red Devil School so early. I also didn't know that Duan Guanlan was a pawn that the Red Devil School had secretly sent to the Primal Yang Sect.
"Can I not be involved in your fight?"
"I'll return to the empire and announce that I'm going to enter secluded cultivation in the Seven Divine Sects, and ignore the Red Devil School's schemes. What do you think?"
Qin Yun admitted defeat.
He had been injured repeatedly in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons, and his Bluesun Arrow had been destroyed. Therefore, his battle prowess was at its lowest point in his life.
In his current state, there was no way he could defeat the Duan brothers.
However, even with that being the case, Duan Tianhong still chose to attack the others first, and not immediately kill him.
As the sectmaster of the Seven Divine Sects and a peak Yin Spirit, Duan Tianhong knew that Qin Yun was very difficult to deal with in his peak state.
Even Duan Tianhong himself hadn't figured out how to deal with Qin Yun.
"Yu Yuan, take them and leave first."
Li Yuchan took a deep breath and sent a mental message to Yu Yuan, telling him to leave while the Duan brothers attacked the others.
Otherwise, when the Duan brothers finished off those who had comprehended the sword marks, it would be their doom.
If they didn't even let go of the others who stood side by side in the same empire, how could they survive?
"Li Yu, take them and leave."
Yu Yuan stayed where he was. He didn't even look at the trial takers of his age behind him. He only stared at the Duan brothers and Duan Guanlan. "Well, Sectmaster Qin, please take care of me for a moment."
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment before his figure flashed and appeared behind him.
"Duan brothers, Yu Yuan and I have a close relationship. If you don't mind, I'll take him and leave alone." Qin Yun laughed awkwardly and bowed repeatedly. "I guarantee that he will be in seclusion in the Seven Divine Sects, just like me."
"Brother Qin, it was Yu Yuan who exposed Guan Lan's identity." Duan Tianhong laughed involuntarily. "Anyone can leave, but not him."
"I'm not leaving." Yu Yuan was surprisingly calm. "Please take care of your own people first, and then attack me."
"That was my plan," Duan Tianhong said with a smile.
