The entire Golden Bell trembled incessantly, yet it ultimately managed to withstand the Holy Suppression from the Tongtian Sect Hierarch, preventing it from being crushed to the ground.
Despite this, Yu Yuan's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were stained with fresh blood.
Tongtian Sect Hierarch sneered coldly, a fierce light flashing through his eyes as he unleashed the Qingping Sword.
However, in the next instant, as if suddenly remembering something, a struggle and hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he withdrew the Qingping Sword, shouting loudly, "Do not delay... How dare an Outer Heaven Demon intrude into the Jie Sect?!"
While raging, Tongtian Sect Hierarch mercilessly summoned countless bolts of lightning to strike Yu Yuan dead.
Yu Yuan quickly positioned his hands to summon the Chaos Bell above his head, then pulled out the Purple Lightning Hammer to meet the thousands of lightning strikes.
At the same time, he loudly exclaimed, "Master, what is the meaning of this?"
"What is the meaning?!"
Tongtian Sect Hierarch, with a look of disdain, coldly snorted, "Naturally, it is to kill you."
With that said, Tongtian Sect Hierarch sneered once more, not elaborating further, and with a direct flick, piercing through the concepts of time and space, he struck Yu Yuan's chest, sending him flying backward.
Under that terrifying strike from the Saint, even with the protection of the Chaos Bell, Yu Yuan could not resist and was thrown backward by a fearsome force, eventually crashing through the grand hall and slamming into a celestial tree outside, shaking down a great many leaves.
Tongtian Sect Hierarch stood before the grand hall, looking down indifferently at Yu Yuan who fell by the tree, and slowly said, "Yu Yuan, you demon in disguise, joined Jie Sect with ill intentions, engaging in clandestine acts. Today, by the decree of Zixiao Palace, I personally must execute you on the spot to prevent future troubles!"
With that, Tongtian Sect Hierarch waved his hand.
A sword light tore through the sky, striking directly at Yu Yuan.
The Chaos Bell, ultimately, was effective.
Although a deep sword mark appeared on the bell, it still managed to block the sword light.
However, the residual power of that sword sent Yu Yuan flying out of Biyou Palace, throwing him outside.
At this moment, Zhao Gongming and Golden Spirit Saint Mother had just arrived outside Biyou Palace.
Seeing Yu Yuan being thrown out by the Tongtian Sect Hierarch, Golden Spirit Saint Mother's face changed drastically, she stepped forward, blocking in front of him, and immediately summoned the Four Symbols Treasure Tower and the Array Map.
Her pair of jade hands swiftly formed Dao seals in front of her, her fingers moving fluidly like flipping butterflies, dazzling Yu Yuan.
The Dao seal, a Xuanmen secret technique similar in function to talismans and spells, essentially borrowed the power of Heaven and Earth to enhance the strength of her Daoist skills.
Under normal circumstances, Golden Spirit Saint Mother with her Daoist realm would not need to form seals or chant spells, but facing an opponent like the Tongtian Sect Hierarch, she still wanted to strengthen her power as much as possible.
As she moved, the four giant figures around the Four Symbols Tower rapidly solidified into reality.
To the east, an Azure Dragon, adorned with verdant Dragon Scales and towering Dragon Horns, meandering for thousands of miles, Innate Wood God Thunder harshly falling; to the west, a White Tiger with fur shimmering silver, sharp fangs imposing, Innate Geng Gold Divine Blade sweeping across.
To the south, a Vermilion Bird, wings ablaze like flames, feathers radiant, wearing a Phoenix Crown, Innate Li Fire burning fiercely, incinerating everything; to the north, a Xuanwu with the head of a tortoise and the tail of a snake, limbs like dragons, majestic, Innate Kui Water vast as the ocean, surging fiercely.
These four Holy Beasts, guardians of the four poles of Heaven and Earth, answered the summons, their surroundings filled with some sort of fundamental Origin Power.
However, at this moment, Tongtian Sect Hierarch's voice emanated from within Biyou Palace, chillingly cold, "Audacious! I am executing a demon, do you, this rebellious disciple, dare to obstruct me?"
Hearing this, surprise flashed in Golden Spirit Saint Mother's eyes.
But without any hesitation, she turned to Yu Yuan and said, "Run now!"
Zhao Gongming, standing nearby, was completely baffled by the situation, and hurriedly saluted towards Biyou Palace, "Disciple Zhao Gongming greets the Master! I do not understand why the Master suddenly wants to execute my fellow disciple Yu Yuan?"
"Because he is an Outer Heaven Demon!" Tongtian Sect Hierarch calmly stated, "I know you don't want to believe this, but during my journey to the Outer Heaven Chaos, I have seen the Taoist Ancestor, and learned that Yu Yuan indeed is an Outer Heaven Demon!
Now, I am acting on the decree of the Taoist Ancestor to execute this demon on the spot!
If any of you dare to obstruct, I will cut down all of you together!"
Hearing this, not only Yu Yuan, but also Zhao Gongming and Golden Spirit Saint Mother, were all shocked, their eyes showing disbelief!
"My master would absolutely never say such things!" Golden Spirit Saint Mother's eyes, full of killing intent, stared intensely at Tongtian Sect Hierarch, "Who exactly are you, and why are you impersonating my master? Where is my true master?"
Zhao Gongming also shouted, "No wonder since your return, you've always secluded yourself within Biyou Palace, never showing yourself no matter who asked; clearly, you feared we'd notice something was off!"
"Heh heh, I am indeed your master!" Tongtian Sect Hierarch looked towards Zhao Gongming and Golden Spirit Saint Mother coldly, "You two disobedient disciples, are you perhaps defying the master's orders? Then don't blame your master for not being merciful!"
With that said, he lightly waved his robe.
Just heard a "puff" sound, the Array Map summoned by Golden Spirit Saint Mother instantly collapsed, and even those Four Symbols Divine Beasts were instantly annihilated on the spot.
Golden Spirit Saint Mother's face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Array being broken, she also suffered backlash, severely damaging her Primordial Spirit.
