“Qin Lianyun came out! Among the Three Great Sects, finally, someone from the Demon Sky Palace came out!”

As “Qin Lianyun” emerged, Zhou Yun immediately cast a focused glance.

Rather than concerning how much Moon Milk “Qin Lianyun” obtained, Zhou Yun was more interested in the intelligence from the Secret Realm.

“Now that Qin Lianyun is out, I can finally get some inside information… Hmm?!”

Zhou Yun was pondering when his expression suddenly changed slightly.

“This is… 20 drops?!”

“So much Moon Milk!”

“To have 20 drops of Moon Milk, more than Fang Shenyi!”

“…”

Amidst the exclamations of surprise, everyone’s gaze fell on the space in front of “Qin Lianyun.”

Above the Moon Disk, twenty bright beams of light shot up!

Mu Kexian looked at the Demon Soul, lost in thought.

“So, Jiang Heng’s Moon Disk was damaged during the battle? Otherwise, he should have had more than 20 drops of Moon Milk. And also…”

Mu Kexian scrutinized “Qin Lianyun” closely, eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“No… This isn’t him!”

For some reason, Mu Kexian was exceedingly certain in his heart.

Moreover, the strange feeling from earlier did not reappear.

…

The Demon Soul smiled, then returned to Zhou Yun with the Moon Disk, bowing respectfully: “Demon Venerable Zhou.”

“Good! 20 drops of Moon Milk, Qin Lianyun, you did very well!”

Zhou Yun was in an excellent mood, looking at “Qin Lianyun” with increasing favor.

Although Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye had not yet come out, these 20 drops of Moon Milk far exceeded his expectations regardless!

In fact, this was currently the highest amount, surpassing Fang Shenyi’s 16 drops!

Given Zhong Xiu’s known death, the situation now favored the Demon Sky Palace the most.

Even though the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect still had Sikong Liu, he also had Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye.

Quite impressive!

Zhou Yun raised his hand, isolating surrounding perceptions, and smiled at the Demon Soul: “Where are Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye?”

The Demon Soul’s expression slightly dimmed, responding: “Demon Lord, the two of them… They should both be dead.”

“Hmm?” Zhou Yun’s face changed abruptly, “Dead?”

“Yes.”

Su Yuan did not see Jiang Heng kill Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye, but Jiang Heng had advanced to Radiant Moon Level by absorbing the Star Sea Energy from people like Chou Wuliang.

When fighting Jiang Heng initially, his newly advanced Radiant Moon Level Star Power was quite heterogeneous, showing clear traces of Ji Changye, Chou Wuliang, and several others.

Based on this known information, Su Yuan had Ashley calculate it further.

The results showed more than just Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye; even Zhang Chunyi and others whose Star Sea Energy was absorbed by Zhou Yun were all accounted for…

At this moment, Zhou Yun’s expression darkened. Initially believing the Demon Sky Palace had a significant advantage and even had a chance to win the Sword Fighting, now it was abruptly halted!

Zhou Yun reassessed the current situation. Compared to Tiger Vein, the fall of Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye was not so significant.

Though Zhou Yun lamented the loss of two talents, as long as the talent base remained, they could continually produce genius disciples. It was merely a matter of a few decades.

There were countless geniuses in the world, but less than one-tenth truly grew into strong practitioners, which was not enough to greatly anger Zhou Yun.

The most important issues now were the Sword Fighting and Tiger Vein!

With the death of two, the first place in Sword Fighting was now uncertain.

The Demon Soul looked at Zhou Yun, whose expression had darkened, and respectfully asked: “Demon Venerable Zhou, what is the highest number of Moon Milk points now?”

“Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, Fang Shenyi has 16 drops.”

Upon hearing this, the Demon Soul scanned the disciples of various sects, including Fang Shenyi and Mu Kexian, and then smiled at Zhou Yun: “Demon Lord need not worry, we have won this Sword Fighting.”

Zhou Yun’s eyebrows rose, squinting at the Demon Soul: “What do you mean?”

The Demon Soul saluted respectfully: “Reporting to Demon Lord, Taishang Sect’s Zhang Chunyi, Jiang Heng; Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect’s Zhong Xiu, Sikong Liu; all have fallen in the Secret Realm and will not come out again…”

“Hmm?!” Zhou Yun’s pupils contracted, demonic energy swirling in his eyes as he looked at the Demon Soul, “Is it true?”

The Demon Soul replied respectfully: “This disciple dares not speak falsely.”

Seeing the Demon Soul didn’t seem to be joking, Zhou Yun’s mind raced.

On Taishang Sect’s side, Elder Ge’s face had been extraordinarily grim earlier;

Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect also confirmed Zhong Xiu was dead.

Though highly unexpected, what Qin Lianyun mentioned didn’t seem entirely impossible!

And the Demon Sky Palace’s greatest rivals were precisely these two factions.

Zhou Yun suddenly remembered something and asked: “There seems to be a formidable disciple from the Blood Evil Sect, who turned Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect’s Zhong Xiu into a Blood Puppet…”

The Demon Soul responded calmly: “That Blood Evil Sect disciple named Tong Ming was also slain personally by this disciple!”

“Oh?” Zhou Yun studied the Demon Soul closely, genuinely surprised this time.

“Here’s what happened…”

Without needing Zhou Yun’s order, the Demon Soul omitted some details and recounted the events in the Secret Realm to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun didn’t care about the details, only the results: “So, there’s no one left that can threaten us?”

The Demon Soul smiled: “Correct, just watch, Demon Lord.”

Zhou Yun patted the Demon Soul’s shoulder, slightly invigorated: “Alright, let’s see! If it’s true, you’ll be richly rewarded after this Sword Fighting!”

…

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour quickly went by.

In the somewhat anxious wait of Zhou Yun, under the astonished eyes of various disciples, the silver light above the Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm entrance suddenly swirled and then vanished from the scene.

During this process, not another person emerged from the Secret Realm!

“Is it over?!”

“What’s going on, only a few people came out in total, is that it?!”

“…”

From the beginning to now, only eight people came out. Even counting Wang Hao and the five who stayed outside initially, there were just thirteen people.

Initially, thirty people entered and now less than half returned!

Other sects aside, only one disciple from each of the Three Great Sects survived?

What exactly happened inside the Secret Realm?

People from various sects looked around at each other in utter shock!

“If that’s the case, Demon Sky Palace took the first place?”

Someone spoke up, snapping everyone out of the brutal results of Sword Fighting.

As the Secret Realm closed, it signified the end of this Sword Fighting too.

And given the current results…

Everyone turned their heads toward the Demon Sky Palace, gazing at the Demon Sky Palace disciple behind Zhou Yun, donned in a black robe with gold threads, composed.

Dominating the core of countless sects, claiming 20 drops of Moon Milk alone…
