In front of the mountain gate, a huge archway stands, with the three ancient seal characters “Haotian Sect” inscribed on the plaque.

This plaque was personally written by the founding ancestor of Haotian Sect, Li Haotian.

Around the archway, flower beds are spread out, with butterflies dancing and bees flying.

Many disciples of Haotian Sect stand on both sides, waiting for their junior brothers and sisters to arrive.

Elder Ji Yunxi is also under the archway.

Ji Yunxi has delicate eyebrows, a graceful figure, and a majestic presence. Her every frown and smile makes the hearts of many male disciples race.

She smiled and said, “Soon it will be the grand ceremony for the new disciples of Haotian Sect. As senior brothers and sisters, remember to set a good example and don’t disgrace the face of Haotian Sect.”

The disciples all bowed and said, “We will keep it in mind.”

After a while, a middle-aged man in a black robe walked over, his face serious but his eyes betraying his joy.

Zhang Shanfeng, the current sect master of Haotian Sect, has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.

However, his hair is not long and flowing, but rather a mix of black and white... a flat top.

His hair is neatly trimmed, as if specially groomed.

Behind him, twenty figures followed, including young men and women, the new disciples recruited by Haotian Sect this time.

Seeing the misty, spirit-filled Haotian Sect, the new disciples were all excited, standing in two rows and curiously gazing at the distant mountain peaks.

They are all young people with some cultivation potential, and it is natural for them to be curious about the legendary immortal sects they are seeing for the first time.

Ji Yunxi hurriedly walked up, nodded, and said, “Master, you have worked hard!”

“Sister, how is the preparation for the grand ceremony?” Zhang Shanfeng asked seriously.

Ji Yunxi replied, “It’s all ready. We can start as soon as the time comes.”

“I didn’t expect to recruit so many disciples this time. I, Zhang Shanfeng, have not let down the ancestors of Haotian Sect,” Zhang Shanfeng said.

Only at this moment did he reveal his unhidden smile.

“Brother, it’s only two more than the last batch...” Ji Yunxi rolled her eyes and said.

Zhang Shanfeng’s expression froze, and he turned his head away.

Hey, does Brother not care about his dignity?

At this moment, a wave of black smoke suddenly appeared in the sky not far away, like a tsunami, surging towards Haotian Sect.

The entire sky was covered by the black mist, and the surroundings immediately darkened.

“Not good! Protect the junior brothers and sisters!” Zhang Shanfeng shouted quickly.

Under the archway, many disciples summoned their spirit weapons and quickly brought the new disciples into the archway.

A heart-shaking pressure approached from afar, and the entire mountain seemed to tremble.

“Is there a monster coming? Mom, I just started cultivating and don’t want to die!”

“I’m not going to cultivate anymore, I want to go home!”

A few new disciples with poor mental fortitude turned pale and cried out in alarm.

Fortunately, the senior brothers and sisters around them raised their spirit shields, protecting them inside.

The black mist covered the sky, reaching the front of Haotian Sect’s mountain gate. Two large blood-red eyes appeared in the mist, staring straight at Zhang Shanfeng.

Zhang Shanfeng’s expression was solemn, his robe fluttering in the wind, and his flat top giving him a strong and masculine appearance.

“What brings you to Haotian Sect?” Zhang Shanfeng asked.

His divine sense was already connected to his storage ring, ready to attack at any sign of trouble.

The black smoke slowly dissipated, and a bull-shaped demon beast appeared in the air, its body surrounded by rolling black smoke, its eyes like copper bells.

A demon beast?!

No, this is…

“World-Chaos Bull Demon!”

Zhang Shanfeng recognized the figure in the mist, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

Ji Yunxi, hearing his words, frowned and said, “Brother, are you talking about the demon cultivator who destroyed the three major cultivation sects in the Northern Wasteland 150 years ago?”

“That’s him!”

Zhang Shanfeng’s tone was heavy. “This time, the situation is dire!”

The World-Chaos Bull Demon’s demonic aura surged, and he laughed wildly. “Zhang Shanfeng, I’m here to destroy your sect!”

“Has Haotian Sect ever offended you?” Zhang Shanfeng asked slowly.

The World-Chaos Bull Demon, with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, is already a formidable figure in the current cultivation world.

Although so, Haotian Sect is a sect that has had immortals ascend, and even with the decline of spirit energy, it cannot be trifled with.

The World-Chaos Bull Demon sneered, “You haven’t offended me, so I’ll give you a chance. If you hand over the strange treasure that appeared on the back mountain of your sect, I’ll let you go.”

“What strange treasure is on the back mountain of our sect?” Zhang Shanfeng asked in surprise.

“The strange phenomena on the back mountain have lasted for two years. Do you dare say there’s no strange treasure? Or are you going to say someone in Haotian Sect is about to transcend the tribulation?” the World-Chaos Bull Demon mocked.

Zhang Shanfeng pondered.

The back mountain, it seems there is a record in the sect’s annals…

Seeing that Zhang Shanfeng was not responding, the World-Chaos Bull Demon took a step forward and roared, “It seems you’re not planning to hand it over. I’ll take it myself today!”

Boom!

Black clouds rolled, and a huge bull hoof pressed down towards the mountain gate of Haotian Sect.

“Yunxi, act!”

Zhang Shanfeng waved his hand, and a flying sword flew out of his storage ring, standing in front of him.

“Nine Nether Sword Technique!”

Sword shadows fluttered around him, rushing towards the bull hoof.

“Bold demon, today I will slay you for the cultivation world!” Ji Yunxi said coldly.

A spirit sword appeared in her hand, and she swung it, drawing an arc in the air.

“Sister, be careful!” Zhang Shanfeng said urgently.

A sword aura shot out from the spirit sword.

Zhang Shanfeng felt a chill on his scalp, and his neatly trimmed hair fell to the ground.

Well, it didn’t stop, and his hair was cut again.

The caution just now was to be careful not to cut his hair.

Unfortunately…

Ji Yunxi, seeing that she had caused trouble again, apologized, “Brother, I was too hasty, don’t blame me.”

Zhang Shanfeng’s face was grim, knowing his hair wouldn’t grow back anytime soon.

In the distance, his Nine Nether Sword Technique and Ji Yunxi’s sword aura collided with the bull hoof, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no ripples.

The bull hoof continued to descend.

“Return to the sect, activate the protective array!”

Zhang Shanfeng and Ji Yunxi immediately entered the mountain gate.

Inside the sect, the other elders and disciples were already prepared. As soon as the two entered, a colorful glow rose around the sect, enveloping the entire Haotian Sect.

Array patterns flowed over the array.

The protective array of Haotian Sect, the Taihao Infinite Sword Array.

The bull hoof landed, striking the sword array.

Boom!

The entire array shook violently, almost collapsing.

“If it were the full power of the Taihao Infinite Sword Array, I wouldn’t be able to break it. But with just a few Golden Core cultivators maintaining it, how much power can it really have?” the World-Chaos Bull Demon’s voice came from the black mist.

Boom!

The bull demon lifted its foot and stomped down again.

Boom!

The array shook again, and large chunks of rock fell from the mountain.

Zhang Shanfeng and the others were anxious, using all their cultivation to maintain the array’s operation.

“I never thought that Haotian Sect would be destroyed in my generation. I, Zhang Shanfeng, have let down the ancestors!” Zhang Shanfeng thought bitterly.

Boom!

“How long can you hold out?”

The World-Chaos Bull Demon stomped down again, and cracks appeared on the array.

Zhang Shanfeng gritted his teeth, and his flying sword entered the array.

This way, he would truly become one with the array.

The Taihao Infinite Sword Array is a combined offensive and defensive array, but Golden Core cultivators cannot activate its offensive function.

Now, it’s time for a desperate battle!

“Everyone, quickly take the things and escape. Leave this to me!” Zhang Shanfeng said solemnly.

“Brother!” Ji Yunxi was anxious, her chest heaving like the surrounding mountains trembling from the shock.

The disciples also changed their expressions and shouted in unison, “Sect Master!”

Boom!

The World-Chaos Bull Demon stomped down again.

“Pfft!”

Zhang Shanfeng spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted, “Hurry up and go!”

“Brother, I won’t leave!” Ji Yunxi said angrily.

“We, the disciples of Haotian Sect, swear to live and die with the sect!”

The disciples shouted in unison.

Zhang Shanfeng was suddenly moved. Although Haotian Sect has few people, at least no one has fled at this moment.

The World-Chaos Bull Demon seemed impatient, and its huge head emerged from the black mist.

The two horns on its forehead reflected a dark light.

“Break it!”

The bull horns struck the array.

Boom!

The bull horns pierced through the array, and spider-web-like cracks spread out from the impact point.

In the next instant, the entire array shattered!

A powerful shockwave rushed in, blowing the disciples away.

“Why didn’t you just open the array earlier?” the World-Chaos Bull Demon said disdainfully.

After speaking, it looked towards the back mountain of Haotian Sect.

“After two years of waiting, let me see what strange treasure is hidden here!”

The World-Chaos Bull Demon rode the black clouds and flew towards the back mountain.

A stream of blood flowed from the corner of Zhang Shanfeng’s mouth, and a golden core slowly floated out of his dantian.

“Haotian Sect cannot be destroyed!”

Sacrifice the golden core, decide life and death!

I, Zhang Shanfeng, will protect Haotian Sect!

Zhang Shanfeng’s figure staggered as he rushed towards the back mountain.

Back mountain of Haotian Sect.

In a small cave, spirit energy gathered and continuously overflowed out.

The cave shook violently, and countless rocks began to fall. A figure walked out of the cave.

Su Fan stretched lazily, took a few breaths, and said, “The air is getting worse and worse. The air quality from ten thousand years ago is much better.”

He was only wearing a loose white short裤, revealing a strong and muscular body, with long hair flowing down, looking incredibly handsome.

In the distance, a black cloud suddenly landed on the ground.

The black cloud dissipated, and the World-Chaos Bull Demon appeared.

“Get out of the way!”

The World-Chaos Bull Demon looked around and saw Su Fan.

The strange phenomena on the back mountain of Haotian Sect for two years, if there is a strange treasure, it must be in the cave behind this person.

The World-Chaos Bull Demon suddenly rushed forward, the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage descending, and a palm struck towards Su Fan’s head.

A mere eleventh-layer Qi Cultivation, so handsome, and he dares to block the way!

He must die!

Su Fan looked at the rushing World-Chaos Bull Demon with a puzzled expression.

Are you crazy?

Su Fan, impatient, stretched out his hand. Under the control of his muscles, his fingers naturally curved, and his arm began to rotate around his shoulder, drawing an arc in the air.

This movement was pleasing to the eye for Su Fan.

Slap!

An ordinary palm struck the ugly face of the World-Chaos Bull Demon.

The World-Chaos Bull Demon’s face showed surprise, but in the next instant, his entire body shattered.

Rustle…

A gust of wind blew, and the World-Chaos Bull Demon turned into a cloud of ashes, dispersing in the air.

Not a trace was left behind.

Su Fan shook his hand and walked towards the mountain gate.

Hmm, what just happened?
