Moments later blue light flickered everywhere, and from the darkness came ceaseless cries of alarm; the pressure on everyone in the field at once eased.
At the same time, amid wave upon wave of Buddhist invocation, Facheng raised his palms joined before him, and above his fingertips the Wheel of Rebirth turned slowly, glinting with a solemn, austere golden light. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the Wheel of Rebirth too hurtled toward the darkness on the other side. Moments later a blaze of dazzling golden light rose in the darkness, bright as day, and countless cultists flew out screaming.
The situation changed at once. Qi Hao, Lin Jinghong, Li Xun, Yan Fei, and even Fajing, Shitou, and the rest were all outstanding figures of the younger generation of the righteous path; they had merely been caught off guard, and now they struck out one after another. The cultists raiding from the surrounding shadows seemed to have no masters among them, and few could withstand their edge; the tide turned in the righteous path's favor.
The Nether King and Qinglong, watching from afar, both frowned. Qinglong shook his head slightly and sighed: "These young disciples of the righteous path, every one of them is one in ten thousand in natural gift. Compared with the younger generation on our side, they're far stronger."
The Nether King nodded, gazing into the distance, then suddenly said: "That woman who struck first, the treasure in her hand—did you see it clearly?"
Qinglong said mildly: "The Tianya, was it not?"
The Nether King turned to look at him. Qinglong smiled and said slowly, almost in a murmur: "The Tianya Divine Sword—the Tianya Divine Sword, indeed!"
The Nether King stood with his hands clasped behind him and said slowly: "And there is that monk from the Brahma Sound Temple with the Wheel of Rebirth in his hand; and the white-robed youth from the Canglan Sect, whose immortal sword is green as water—that must be the Dragon Slaying Sword. The righteous path has truly spent painstaking effort cultivating its young people these years."
