Shi Feiyang, assuming the identity of Yue Yun, exerted himself to his utmost in a magical duel against Lie Baduo atop the Golden Summit at the Jade Emperor Temple.
This "utmost effort" was not about unleashing all his Mana to win but to impersonate Yue Yun as convincingly as possible.
He knew that the seniors from the Emei Sect were watching him from within the mountain; any slight slip would mean all his efforts of the previous days would be in vain.
Yue Yun's repertoire was limited, starting with the Ruyi Five Clouds Net failing to hold out, sliced to pieces by the Seven Evil Black Spirit God Sword, dissipating into wisps of colored smoke.
As soon as Lie Baduo's toxic Miasma surged in, Shi Feiyang had already instructed Disciples like Leng Yun from the lower ranks to take shelter inside the mountain.
His rationale was sound; the lower courtyard Disciples were also from the Emei Sect, and Master Baiyun, who was on duty, would never stand by watching them be slaughtered outside.
