Bab 4: Ending Century Old Enmity with Annihilation
After bidding goodbye to Mei Ying, Mei Ying quickly made her way toward her husband's location where he was enduring the tribulation. However, as she arrived on the scene, her heart sank at the devastating sight that unfolded before her eyes.
The tribulation had already concluded, and the aftermath was a scene of unimaginable horror. There, lying lifeless on the ground, was her beloved husband Jian Wei, his body impaled by a sword and blood staining his lips.
Sheng, the sworn enemy, had inflicted the same scar and attacked him mercilessly, leaving his face severed from his neck to his eyes.
The surroundings were a chilling tableau of death and destruction. The lifeless bodies of sect members, who had valiantly fought to protect their sect master, lay scattered around.
Even the onlookers, who had gathered to witness the tribulation, had fallen victim to the overwhelming numbers and sinister Voidshadow Arts employed by the Shadowmoon Sect.
The Shadowmoon Sect, built upon the foundations of the elusive Voidshadow Arts, left its adversaries helpless and vulnerable, unable to counter the stealthy and lethal techniques of the enemy.
The unfortunate cultivators met their untimely demise, their lives extinguished in the shadows that the Shadowmoon Sect had mastered.
"Noooooo!" cried Mei Ying, her heart shattering as she beheld the lifeless body of her husband Overwhelmed with grief, she collapsed to her knees on the bloodstained ground.
"Slash"
In a swift and ruthless motion, a sword slashed through Mei Ying's neck before she could react, silencing her cries forever. Her lifeless body joined the ranks of fallen warriors, a testament to the brutality of the conflict.
"I declare Celestial Harmony Sect no more," proclaimed Sect Master Sheng with a victorious roar, his voice resonating with triumph.
"From this day forward, this place shall be known as Shadowmoon Sect!" Sheng concluded.
The centuries-old enmity between the two sects had finally come to an end, marked by the demise of the Celestial Harmony Sect and the emergence of the Shadowmoon Sect.
"Congratulations Sect Master," Elder Li Xuan spoke, his voice laced with a mixture of respect and admiration.
"Hahahah Hahahahah," Master Sheng laughed with a sinister tone, his eyes gleaming with malice.
"Kill all the remaining members of this sect! Leave none alive!" he roared, his voice echoing through the halls.
With the orders given, the members of the ShadowMoon sect unleashed their fury, a relentless pursuit to hunt down and eliminate anyone who dared to escape.
"Kill"
"Kill"
The air was filled with the chilling chants of "Kill" as they mercilessly slaughtered every person they came across.
The once peaceful sect now turned into a scene of unspeakable horror. Blood stained the ground, as lifeless bodies of all ages lay scattered, from innocent newborns to elderly mortals. The air reeked of death, and the cries of the fallen echoed in the desecrated halls.
"I heard Jian Wei had offspring. Have you killed the child yet?" Elder Li Xuan inquired, his eyes filled with a cold determination.
As the elder of Shadow Moon Hall, it was his duty to keep a close watch on the activities of the Celestial Harmony Sect, and he saw the potential threat the child posed.
Upon hearing the question, two cultivators swiftly entered the child's room, their eyes scanning every corner as they searched with urgency. Rummaging through the belongings, they left no stone unturned in their mission to find and eliminate the young heir.
His existence posed a danger to their plans, and they needed to ensure his demise before he could become a future threat.
"Elder, the child, and their servant are nowhere to be found," the cultivators reported back to Li Xuan, their faces filled with frustration and disappointment.
"They must have escaped through some hidden route," the elder mused, stroking his long white beard, his eyes narrowing with determination.
He wanted to witness the bitter end, to ensure that not a single trace of the Celestial Harmony Sect remained.
"Search every escape route, check every border," he commanded, his voice carrying an air of finality.
"Ok, everyone disperse" one of the team leaders roared as he ordered his minions to do the bidding.
The order was swiftly passed down, and hundreds of cultivators dispersed in every direction, spreading out across the land and sky.
Riding their swords through the air, they scoured every inch of the surrounding area, leaving no hiding place unchecked. Their aerial view allowed them to cover vast territories in their relentless pursuit of the escapees.
For cultivators at the Core Formation Stage level, the skill of riding a sword in the air came naturally. With swift movements and a strong connection to their cultivation, they effortlessly propelled themselves into the sky.
At a distance outside the borders of the Celestial Harmony Sect, concealed amidst the rugged terrain, a small cave lay hidden from prying eyes. This cave served as the clandestine entrance to the secret escape route, a pathway known only to the sect master, his wife, and the previous generation's master.
The hidden route which was shown by Mei Ying at the sect, Lin Tao and young Liu Chen traversed the narrow underground tunnel. It was a dim and winding path, carved meticulously through the earth. The air was cool and damp as if whispering secrets of the sect's survival.
With a deliberate motion, Lin Tao activated the hidden mechanism, causing the colossal door to swing open. Light poured into the cavern, revealing a breathtaking sight. As they stepped out, the mechanism seamlessly triggered once more, sealing the entrance behind them, leaving no trace of their passage.
The tunnel's entrance was concealed by a massive boulder, cleverly disguised to blend with the natural rock formations. It could only be opened from within, ensuring the safety and secrecy of those who sought refuge.
Emerging from the depths of the tunnel, they found themselves standing before the Silent Flow River. The escape route led them to this serene location, where the gentle murmurs of the flowing river added to the tranquility of the surroundings.
Before them lay a picturesque landscape, adorned with nature's wonders. A majestic waterfall cascaded from great heights, its roaring waters creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
The plateau, with its verdant flora, provided a striking backdrop to this magnificent display of nature's power. The waterfall plunged into a seemingly bottomless abyss, its depths concealed from the viewpoint above.
