Chapter 1065: Chapter 49: Cooperation and Vigilance

An Zhisu carried her sword swiftly, traversing the Vast Divine Land, and arrived at the coast of the East Sea.

Behind her was the Dual Polarity Dust Sword lent by the Long Eyebrow Immortal. With the activation of the Dual Polarity Dust Formation, it could obliterate anything under the sky.

Besides the Dual Polarity Dust Sword, she also carried another magical treasure, the Xuanguang Ruler.

This item was once bestowed by the Long Eyebrow Immortal to Ling Yunpo. Before betraying the sect, the latter left it at the Qingluo Peak Daoist temple, not taking it away from Shushan.

Now, before An Zhisu’s departure, it was personally given to her by Su Jian for protection, symbolizing, in a sense, an internal circulation of family assets.

With both the Dual Polarity Dust Sword and the Xuanguang Ruler, An Zhisu’s offensive and defensive capabilities had been honed to a level of self-preservation even under the hands of an immortal, thus permitting her journey to the East Sea.

After several days at sea, she finally arrived at a distance where she could glimpse the Sky Gap.

She then took out the Xuanguang Ruler, created a halo to cover herself, and slowly descended into the sea.

Several days later, Xu Yinglian also reached the coast of the East Sea.

She carried the Tai Yi Dividing Light Sword on her back with giant fire wings sprouting, each flap spanning several miles, swiftly moving towards the Heaven Pillar in the southeast.

Soon, Xu Yinglian arrived at the vicinity of the Heaven Pillar, also quickly found a spot to sink stealthily.

The two did not wait on the sea surface, for they came to lay in ambush and naturally could not easily expose themselves.

Above the clouds, Shi Liuli traveled on a treasure magic ship, having already reached the vicinity of the Heaven Pillar.

Accompanying her were the Master of Xuan Du and the Wan Xiang Immortal.

“If there’s anything unusual at the Sky Gap, notify the sect immediately, and do not act rashly,” the Master of Xuan Du instructed her.

“Okay,” Shi Liuli nodded, then leapt off the ship, diving towards the sea below.

Unlike Xu Yinglian and An Zhisu, Shi Liuli had already secured the full support of Penglai in recovering Chen Guanshui, allowing her to utilize the sect’s forces freely.

The three simultaneously lurked near the Heaven Pillar, waiting for the mastermind who forged the Heaven-Mending Stone to appear and capture him on the spot.

However, the refining of the Heaven-Mending Stone was not easy, and during this time, Chen Guanshui, too, was with the Kunlun Mirror in the underground rift, never stepping outside, causing the three to wait in vain for their husband, but Jiang the Witch instead arrived with her sister.

The two of them traveled in the distinctive black mist of the Heavenly Demon, arriving above the Heaven Pillar in an instant, then quickly plunged into the water.

“This is the place.” Jiang Lian pointed to the Earth Fire Rift below, speaking in a deep voice, “I have been here before and found nothing amiss, but I suspect there’s some illusion technique at play within.”

“What kind of illusion technique could elude your divine sense?” her sister asked with a surprised expression.

“Who knows?” Jiang the Witch shrugged. “Anyway, later you and I will go down there together…”

Before she finished speaking, a sword light suddenly shot from a distance, it was An Zhisu who, upon seeing her enemy, could no longer suppress her urge.

“So you’re a Heavenly Demon!” she gritted her teeth and said with hatred.

“Yes, and so?” Jiang the Witch asked indifferently.

Wei Dongliu had been missing for a long time and had obviously abandoned the identity of the Mortal Life Path sect leader, so Jiang Lian no longer planned to continue playing the role of a virtuous wife, and decided to head straight to the Demon Palace outside the heavens once she caught him—now that her Heavenly Demon identity was exposed, who cared about that anymore?

An Zhisu didn’t respond but instead assumed a stance ready to attack.

The enmity between humans and demons was irreconcilable, and the hatred against Heavenly Demons was as deep as the sea. With both the Dual Polarity Dust Sword and Xuanguang Ruler, An Zhisu was filled with fighting spirit and battle intent.

“Sister, for such a minor character, why do you need to take action? How about letting me deal with her?” Huan Yue, the witch, eagerly suggested.

“Sure, you go ahead,” Jiang Lian agreed, being someone who preferred others to exert effort on her behalf.

Huan Yue quickly revealed her Heavenly Demon True Body, transforming into a cloud of black mist, pouncing towards An Zhisu.

Unhurried, An Zhisu activated the Xuanguang Ruler, forming a halo to ensnare the Heavenly Demon, then used her Flying Sword to launch another attack from a different angle for a pincer move.

Huan Yue quickly shifted her position to evade the halo’s range, but the next moment she suddenly froze in place, unable to move… An Zhisu had quietly unleashed the sword Dao techniques of the Dual Polarity Dust Sword.

The Dual Polarity Dust Sword, with its myriad Dao techniques, could emit sword Qi as thin as silk threads, capable of cutting gold and iron, and also binding the enemy like a rope-like magic artifact, sealing their power.

The Heavenly Demon on the opposite side only focused on dodging the Xuanguang Ruler and mistakenly underestimated these threads as mere sword Qi, believing she could endure them with her indestructible body, which naturally led to her defeat.

Huan Yue was tightly bound by the threads. The black mist expanded and struggled for a moment, realizing she couldn’t break free, immediately looked back and wailed:

“Sister, help me!”

Jiang Lian was speechless and somewhat reluctant to acknowledge this sisterly relationship.

“Just stay there for now,” she replied testily, “I’ll deal with this person and let you out later.”

“Let’s see what you’re capable of!” An Zhisu responded coldly, unfazed.

The primary attack method of the Heavenly Demon involved transforming into black mist and rapidly assaulting the victim. If not repelled, the victim would immediately have their life force absorbed and die on the spot.

This black mist couldn’t be defended against with physical means, but had to be warded off using Dao techniques. However, Shushan Sword Immortals typically relied on sword-sealing Dao techniques, which weren’t as effective as their own cultivated Daoist magic, sufficient against other human cultivators but somewhat lacking in power against the Heavenly Demon.
