The Blade-Wielding Legend

In the massive ancient hall, thick, ink-like black aura, exuding ominous and decadent auras, wriggled like living creatures, surging in from all sides, madly entangling, corroding, and engulfing the figures wrapped in robes inside the hall.

Some of those figures, entwined by the black aura, were writhing and twisting in pain, while others emitted silent howls filled with resentment and despair. Among them, a few were letting out a nauseating dark red glow from under their robes, seemingly of the same source as the black aura, as if actively embracing this pollution...

"Ugh!" Li Yan grunted as he abruptly opened his eyes.

His face turned slightly pale, with a sheen of cold sweat on his forehead. A gleam of cold light burst from his eyes as he enunciated each word:

"Five Immortals Hall!"

......

"Five Immortals Hall?!"

Wang Daoxuan frowned slightly, "This... how is this possible! Fox Immortal and Liu Xian, though born of Wild Gods and Spirits, have been decreed by the court since the previous dynasty, incorporated into the Mystical Sect as 'Household Guardian Immortals', receiving incense tribute, and bound by Heavenly Rules and Yin Law!"

"Especially outside the border, this is their base, how dare they... dare they collude with external enemies to disrupt the earth vein of Divine State?!"

Five Immortals Hall, although loosely organized, is deeply rooted among the populace and has intricate connections with the Mystical Sect officials. If something indeed went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sha Lifei's eyes widened angrily, his fists clenched so tightly they crackled, "Damn it! Those ingrates! I'll drag those charlatan Out-of-Horse Disciples out myself!"

"Don't be rash!"

Li Yan suppressed his turbulent blood and energy, and said in a deep voice, "This matter involves many, and we need solid evidence. Moreover, there might be their disciples within the military camp."

After returning to the military camp, Li Yan did not publicize it, but directly found General Gao Zhenxiong, requesting to check the roster of civilian laborers, miscellaneous workers, and auxiliary cultivators accompanying the army.

Sure enough, under the "Mystical Sect Collaborators" section, several Out-of-Horse Disciples from the surrounding areas of Fengtian Prefecture, belonging to the "Five Immortals Hall", were notably recorded.

The leader was a middle-aged man named "Ma The Seventh", who offered tribute to Chang Xian.

When Li Yan, accompanied by Gao Zhenxiong, Wang Daoxuan, and others, found Ma The Seventh with a lingering cold Evil Qi about him, the man was shrinking in a small tent at the corner of the kitchen, muttering something in a low voice to a small snake-carved wooden sculpture.

Suddenly surrounded by several powerful "officials," Ma The Seventh turned pale with fright and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Of...officials, spare me! I…I only tend fires and cook, I have done nothing wrong!" He kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Li Yan's gaze was sharp as lightning, piercing into his mind: "Ma The Seventh, you offer tribute to Chang Xian, do you know about the Fourth Grandmaster Hu and Madam Hu's current situation?"

"Are you aware that your Five Immortals Hall's headquarters 'Juxian Hall' is now controlled by demons?"

Upon hearing this, Ma The Seventh abruptly raised his head, the color drained from his face, and his eyes filled with incredulous shock, which soon turned into intense fury: "You…you slanderer!"

"Slander! Madam Hu possesses an unfathomable Dao, and Juxian Hall is the Holy Land of our Five Immortals Hall, protected by incense offerings from generations of ancestors, impervious to all evil!"

"How could it be eroded by evil energy?! Surely, it's you, this wicked Taoist, who used an Evil Technique to frame our Five Immortals Hall!" He was trembling all over with agitation, as if Li Yan's words had desecrated the most sacred belief in his heart.

Seeing the near-fanatical devotion and rage in his eyes, Li Yan coldly said, "Frame? Fine, then lead the way. Take us to Changbai Mountain, to the headquarters of your Five Immortals Hall."

"Whether it's true or false, one look and we'll know!"
