On the seventh of October, there was fire but no snow.
On the tenth day after the natural disaster, the allied forces arrived at the foot of Kunlun.
Kunlun Mountain stretched for thousands of miles and was also the sacred land of Taoism. Including the once famous Wanxiang Heavenly Palace, there were a total of nine Taoism forces in Kunlun Mountain Range, collectively known as the Kunlun Nine Sects.
However, with the change of Wanxiang Heavenly Palace two years ago, the remaining eight sects were unable to resist. In just half a month, they were either destroyed or surrendered. Thousands of miles of Kunlun was under the control of the Six Dao Evil Destroyer.
Ling Guan Sect was once the easternmost sect of the Kunlun Nine Sects. It was also a nail that blocked the Six Dao Evil Destroyer's eastward advance. Three years ago, the Sect Master Su Lingzi led the disciples to defend the sect. Under the isolated situation, they only relied on the terrain and the Sect Protecting Formation to resist the Human Dao's attack for fourteen days.
Until Di Lingtian personally arrived and destroyed the Sect Protecting Formation with one palm strike, Su Lingzi had no choice but to surrender and Ling Guan Sect was declared to have fallen.
Now, the nail that once blocked the Six Dao Evil Destroyer's eastward advance had become the pass that blocked the allied forces from conquering the west.
However, the righteous allied forces were so mighty that it was hard to see the end of them. There was only one person guarding the pass — the former Sect Master of Ling Guan Sect, Yu Lingzi!
He was a skinny old Taoist with swollen eyes and a stooped body. His sparse white hair was barely combed into a loose Taoist bun. Many of the righteous sects who were familiar with him still remembered his immortal-like appearance in the past. Comparing the two of them, it could be seen that he had suffered in the past three years since he surrendered to the Six Dao of Evil. Everyone felt pity for him.
But now, Yu Lingzi stood at the highest point of the sect's main hall, facing the righteous allied forces. He held a torch in his hand and below him was firewood doused with turpentine and vegetable oil. It was burning fiercely. He was about to burn the entire Ling Guan Sect.
"Immortal Yu Lingzi, what are you doing? We're here to save you!" The shopkeeper of the Ling Long Treasure Pavilion, Zhang Guanqing, had a wide circle of friends and was quite familiar with Yu Lingzi. Seeing Ling Guan Sect being burned, he could not help but feel distressed. Regardless of the value of this immortal building of the Lingguan Sect, it could be used as a stronghold to guard the rear during the final battle. With this value, Zhang Guanqing couldn't just sit back and watch it burn. Zhang Guanqing asked anxiously and painfully.
"Save I? Hahahaha! " The flames were burning under his feet. Yu Lingzi looked up to the sky and laughed. The strong wind poured into his loose Daoist robe, making it flutter loudly. This made the old man's laughter sarcastic and desolate. "Three years ago, when the Human Realm besieged the Ling Guan Sect, you guys didn't come! In order to resist the Six Realms of Evil Destruction, our sect has been fighting for half a month. Almost ten percent of our disciples are still alive, but you didn't come! In order to protect the rest of his disciples, I joined the Six Dao of Evil Destroyer and willingly became a ghost. When his reputation was completely ruined, you didn't come! But now you say you want to save I? Can you still save me when I've fallen to such a state? "
Seeing Yu Lingzi waving the torch in his hand in a deranged manner, someone from the righteous alliance shouted, "Old friend Yu Lingzi, we all know that you were forced to become a traitor in order to protect your disciple. It's pardonable. If there's anything to say, we can talk it out. First, extinguish the fire and we'll plead for you to be pardoned!"
"Pardon me? Hehe, which one of you will convict me? You? You? You? It's you, Sect Leader Su! " Yu Lingzi looked at the crowd with disdain. He raised the torch and pointed at several sect leaders. Finally, his gaze fell on Su Miaoyin.
The sect leaders who were pointed at all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound. Even Su Miaoyin, who was the leader, remained silent.
They all knew that Yu Lingzi wasn't a coward who would defect to the enemy. In fact, he could even be called the backbone of the righteous sects.
Three years ago, when the Heavenly Palace of Wan Xiang was destroyed, the disciples of Ling Guan Sect advised Yu Lingzi to abandon the sect and temporarily avoid the Six Dao of Evil Destruction. However, Yu Lingzi insisted that Ling Guan Sect was the key to the Six Dao of Evil Destruction's eastward advance. Once they abandoned the sect, the entire Kunlun mountain range would be under the control of the Six Dao of Evil Destruction. At that time, the gate at the foot of Kunlun Mountain would be opened and there would be no more places to defend. The surrounding sects and even the people at the foot of the mountain would be slaughtered.
Therefore, Yu Lingzi gave up the opportunity to escape. Instead, he led the disciples to defend the sect and fought to the death. At the same time, he sent a letter to many sects that he was in contact with. In the letter, he said, "Ling Guan Sect is willing to defend a corner of the world. I only hope that all the sects will work together and not let the Six Dao of Evil Destruction overtake Kunlun!"
After that, he fought against the Human Dao with a great disparity in strength and defended the sects for 15 days. Within these 15 days, Ling Guan Sect suffered countless casualties and the mountain where it was located was dyed red. However, no reinforcements came …
The sects that were further away from Kunlun were afraid of the power of the Six Dao of Evil Destruction. They hesitated and chose to watch from the sidelines. As for the sects that were closer to Kunlun, they took advantage of the time when Ling Guan Sect blocked the Six Dao of Evil Destruction to move their sects and fled far away.
Even after Su Miaoyin received the letter, she ignored the Ling Guan Sect that was still defending with the excuse that the opportunity had passed.
In the end, Yu Lingzi didn't wait for reinforcements but only Di Lingtian. In the end, the Master of the Heaven Dao personally came and smashed the Mountain Guarding Formation with one palm. It also shattered Yu Lingzi's Taoist heart that believed in righteousness.
As time passed, the world was no longer the same. In the same Ling Guan Sect, Yu Lingzi stood on the roof and looked at the sects that were defending desperately. However, he still couldn't wait for the arrival of the heads of the various sects, which brought him even more despair. "Hahaha, three years ago, I waited for 15 days and couldn't wait for you. But now, because of the natural disaster that harmed your interests, all of you gathered in less than 10 days. Hahaha, at least one thing the Six Dao of Evil Destruction said was right. The world is dirty and the Six Dao is evil. Selfish, weak, full of righteousness, and only care about benefits. You are all as sinful as me. Who is qualified to forgive my sins? "
Yu Lingzi asked loudly, but he didn't care about their answers. He waved the torch and sang in the blazing fire. The fire that spread to the roof burned his Daoist robe and engulfed his figure, but he didn't care at all. In the blazing fire, the old and hoarse voice was singing the World Cleansing Song of the Six Dao of Evil Destruction.
"The seven emotions are sinful, the paradise is gone."
"The Six Dao is evil, the world is torrential."
Su Miaoyin saw this and said, "The spells of the Human Dao are good at bewitching people. Dao Master Yu Lingzi has been controlled by the spells of the Human Dao. There's no turning back. Everyone, be careful."
The sects nodded in agreement. Since he said that they were sinful, then Yu Lingzi must be controlled by a spell. It could only be controlled by a spell!
At the same time, the singing in the fire suddenly became intense. The sound was so loud that it could shatter rocks and clouds.
"Born with sin, death is the only way."
"Kill all living beings as a sign of righteousness!"
As the song ended, the fire became more intense. A giant flaming man soared into the sky. It was Yu Lingzi who used a spell to burn his body and turned into the World Cleansing Bright Flame. He attacked the righteous sects' allied forces with endless flames.
Alone, he charged into the army of ten thousand. His strong and fierce state was just like the time when he was defending a corner of the world.
Seeing him attacking, there were people in the righteous sects' allied forces who were terrified. They instinctively waved their energy to block the attack. Then, more spells, talismans, and energy were shot out.
The decisive heart couldn't make up for the absolute difference in the number of people. Life and death were decided in an instant. The flaming man was instantly hit full of holes and turned into scattered flames.
One could only vaguely hear Yu Lingzi's last words from the falling flames …
"No one … shall ever think of attacking my Ling Guan Sect again …"
The flames fell like falling snow.
Su Miaoyin stretched out her hand and received the flames that floated in front of her. She recalled that 33 years ago, when Di Lingtian besieged Youtan Pure Sect, she broke through the siege and went to Kunlun Mountain to ask for help from Wan Xiang Celestial Palace. When Yu Lingzi, who was also in Kunlun, got to know about it, he immediately led his people to support Youtan Pure Sect along with Wan Xiang Celestial Palace.
But three years ago, when Ling Guan Sect was besieged, she thought that she had lost the opportunity and ignored Yu Lingzi's request for help.
Until now, she didn't doubt her judgment at that time. It would be fine if the righteous sects could work together. But at that time, the righteous sects were in a state of disunity and the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation had yet to be revealed. If Youtan Pure Sect rashly sent troops to help, it would be like holding firewood to put out a fire. There was no chance of winning and it would only cost more lives. So, she chose to give up.
But when Yu Lingzi led his people to help Youtan Pure Sect, did he consider the chance of winning?
Su Miaoyin asked herself, but she couldn't answer. She felt the burning pain of the flames falling on her palm.
Su Miaoyin could already guess why the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation, who was once a guardian of the Holy Lady and determined to use thunderous means to teach evil disciples and destroy all evil, would eventually become an evil sect. Perhaps, on the long road of saving the world, a Heavenly Law Lord finally found out that the world was dirty and evil like Yu Lingzi today. If he wanted to eliminate evil disciples in Six Paths of Evil, the only way was to kill all living beings in Six Paths of Evil.
But even such filthy and ugly living beings needed redemption. And she had already promised that she would become the dirtiest and ugliest one. Even if she had to use all the despicable means in the world, she would guide the light of redemption to come.
Su Miaoyin closed her eyes and put out the last remaining flames in her hand. When she opened her eyes again, she said coldly, "All sects, put out the fire together and occupy Ling Guan Sect!"

Yu Lingzi didn't want his Ling Guan Sect to fall into the hands of the righteous alliance, so he would rather burn it.
But obviously, he was too reluctant to give up his sect, so he only lit the fire at the last moment, so the fire was still under control.
The weather was cold, and there were many experts present, so they finally put out the fire. Although there were scorch marks everywhere, the main building was undamaged.
In the end, Yu Lingzi still couldn't defend Ling Guan Sect …
And he was actually the only resistance the righteous alliance met along the way.
The Six Paths of Evil Annihilation used Kunlun as the base to conquer the world. Three hundred miles around Kunlun fell into the control of the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation. The original sects, big or small, were either slaughtered or surrendered to the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation.
But this time, when the alliance attacked Kunlun, they didn't see a single soldier of the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation along the way, and the sects that had surrendered to the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation were all abandoned. Without the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation's control, they either surrendered again or fled.
Su Miaoyin didn't dare to accept these "fence-sitters" as her help. Needless to say, there must be a large number of Six Paths of Evil Annihilation's spies among them. Even if the war was not going well, they could surrender to the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation at any time.
Presumably, the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation also didn't trust their loyalty, so he chose to abandon these sects.
As the alliance advanced, other than Yu Lingzi's Ling Guan Sect, they didn't meet any resistance.
But no one would think that the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation abandoned the three hundred miles because he couldn't fight against the righteous alliance.
On the contrary, just like before throwing a punch, he always had to withdraw his fist, so that he could hit harder. The Six Paths of Evil Annihilation tightened the line of defense. This was to gather strength in Kunlun Mountain, using the complete Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation to fight against the alliance in one fell swoop.
At this time, Su Miaoyin was holding a horsetail whisk, standing in the main hall of Ling Guan Sect. She looked at the statue in front of her that was burned until its face was blurred. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, she didn't even turn around and said, "You're late, what did you do?"
"I heard about Senior Yu Lingzi, so I wanted to carve his memorial tablet and worship it in the Ling Guan Sect's Ancestral Hall. Unfortunately, the Ancestral Hall has been burned to the ground … Ling Guan Sect's lineage has been severed, and among the nine sects of Kunlun, only Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace is left." The person who came was Ji Fengming, and he sighed sadly.
"Doing useless things again. If we lose this battle, no one will worship us." Su Miaoyin was as dismissive as usual, and said, "Let's talk about business. How is this place suitable for you to open the altar and worship?"
"It's indeed the best place. Belonging to the same lineage of Daoism, the sect has all the necessary altars and formations. It can be used with just a little modification. More importantly, there's an earth vein flowing under the altar." Ji Fengming collected his mood, tapped his palm with his folding fan, and said, "Six Paths of Evil Extermination can absorb the earth vein through the Pure Sky Altar, so I can take advantage of the earth vein to sense the flow of spiritual energy in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Array, waiting for the opportunity to find the array eye to help break the array. But more importantly, are all the forces to break the array here?"
Su Miaoyin said, "Exquisite Treasure Pavilion and White Horse Temple have arrived, and Union of Ten Thousand Immortals has also met with Sword Emperor. Shangqing school and Ling Xiao Sword School also have help, but we don't have time to wait for these two. I've made an appointment with these two sects to meet in front of Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace tomorrow!"
Hearing the four words Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace, Ji Fengming couldn't help but clench the fan in her hand, and forcibly suppressed the emotion in her heart. "I'm ashamed. This is the battle to recover Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace, but I can't go to the frontline myself. I can only ask the sects to help me. I really can't repay this kindness."
Su Miaoyin shook her head. "No need to be modest. The position you hold is the most dangerous and important. According to the previous arrangement, I'll leave some disciples here to protect you, and the rest will be divided into three groups, plus two groups from Sword Emperor's side …"
Ji Fengming smiled bitterly and corrected, "The most dangerous and important one is not me. Sword Emperor's side also has three groups. Don't forget, there's still 'him' who has his own group!"
"Yes, we also have to count him!" Su Miaoyin also corrected herself. Her deep eyes seemed to be able to see through layers of obstacles, looking straight at the direction of Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace. She said, "Tomorrow, the six groups will fight against the Six Paths!"

On the Pure Sky Altar, Di Lingtian, who was dressed in white and had a silver face, was also looking east. It was as if he could see through the mountains, and he was looking at Su Miaoyin from afar.
Beneath his feet was the operating Pure Sky Altar. The jade altar emitted a sparkling white light, and wherever spiritual energy flowed through, the lines seemed to come to life. Complex runes floated into the air, forming golden characters that circled around the altar.
Behind him, were the Daoists who were ready to go.
"They're here!" Di Lingtian said softly. The Daoists naturally knew what was coming, and their faces were solemn.
Human Path's Daoist Yan Shiyuan asked with concern, "You came in such a hurry. Master, have your injuries recovered completely?"
Di Lingtian smiled lightly, and said, "Heh, all the sects have come to besiege Kunlun. How can I be negligent? I will naturally wait for all the sects to die in my peak state. What about you guys, are you all prepared? "
Xue Wanlu, who retreated and recuperated in the Battle of Heavenly Book, stood up straight at this moment, and his fighting spirit was high. He said, "I have also recovered completely. I will definitely let these cowards know what the Asura's Slaughter is!"
The ugly and deformed Beast Path's Daoist Wanshou Chun grinned, making his ugly face even uglier. He said in his usual sarcastic tone, "All the hustle and bustle are here for benefits. As expected, it's related to oneself. These righteous people are all here. If I don't kill them all this time, my bastards will be led astray by them."
Human Path's Daoist Yan Shiyuan bowed, and said to Di Lingtian sincerely, "No matter where Heaven Path's Daoist goes, Human Path will definitely accompany you!"
Seeing this, the newly appointed Hell Path's Daoist Sang Mei quickly twisted her slender waist, and said in an even more respectful and charming voice, "Hell Path is the same. We will risk our lives and sacrifice our lives to be the Master's shield, so that the Master can complete the Pure Sky Ritual in peace and cleanse the world!" Her words were only focused on flattery, and she had completely forgotten that the Hell Path's people were mostly half-dead people. How could they risk their lives and sacrifice their lives, and how could they sacrifice their lives to be sacrificed?
Di Lingtian only chuckled, and did not take it to heart. He turned to the side and glanced at the Hungry Ghost Path's Daoist Master, "What about you, Daoist Ying?"
The Hungry Ghost Path's Daoist Master, whose face was hidden in the darkness, said, "I know that it's hard to be trusted, and I dare not say anything about the outcome of the battle. I can only guarantee that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation will definitely not be broken because of the Hungry Ghost Path's failure."
"Absolutely?" Di Lingtian, whose face was covered in a mirror, asked.
"Absolutely!" The Daoist Master, whose face was covered in black gas, confirmed.
"Hah, then, let's fight on our own. The six paths are evil, and the world is turbulent. After this battle, it will be the true destruction of the six paths!"
Di Lingtian, who stood at the peak of Kunlun, shook his sleeves, and laughed loudly. The silver mirror reflected the pure white Kunlun mountains and rivers that were about to be dyed in blood!
