Chương 43: A Big Hatred Must Be Avenged
Biên tập viên: Atlas Studios
Spring came and autumn went. Two years passed by very quickly.
In the northeast of Feng Nation, the Blood Awning Mountains laid over thousands of yards. The spiritual energy there was not really vigorous, being filled with empty and sparse forests. Dark mist covered the peaks of the endless mountains.
In a certain giant, dark red mountain valley, buildings were densely clustered around the mountain. Cultivators wearing red robes would fly across from time to time, while some even hurriedly went in and out of these buildings.
In a sanctuary hidden in the depths of the valley, a middle-aged man who had a leopard-like head and round eyes, dressed in a blue robe paced to and fro with panic. He would glance at the giant stone door hidden in the depths of the sanctuary from time to time.
The stone door was shut tightly and the blood-colored glow around it pulsed nonstop.
"Eldest Brother isn't out yet?" A man's voice trailed over from outside the sanctuary and a muscular man whose face was covered in scars, walked over.
"It should be soon. Lao
"Nine subdivisions have already arrived. The remaining four should be on their way as well. Most of our inner sect disciples that are managing things outside have more or less returned as well… Second Brother, did we pull too many people into this?" The scar-faced muscular man hesitated before he asked.
"Within a short ten days, six subdivisions have been exterminated. Including the leaders of them, almost everyone vanished like smoke with no traces left behind. Lao San, do you think we can do this with only our abilities?" The blue-robed middle-aged man sighed, replying to the former with another question.
"How is it possible? However, if we do this, all of our trade will be stopped completely and our losses will be huge. I'm worried that Eldest Brother will blame us for making the decision and in his anger…" The scar-faced muscular man chuckled bitterly. However, he seemed to have thought of something and his body immediately shivered.
"Why wouldn't I know that? However, if we delay it even by a little, I'm afraid our Sect will be damaged greatly. Don't forget that although those families with substantial power are usually respectful to us, all of them actually want to annihilate our Blood Saber Sect. At that time, even those demons wouldn't miss the opportunity." Fear appeared on the blue-robed middle-aged man's face as well and with that, he shook his head and said softly.
"They dare?! Who doesn't know about our Eldest Brother's ways?! Remember Lang County's top family clan, the Yu family. Their family head actually dared to comment about the ways our Sect worked. In the end, the entire family clan of over a thousand members were extinguished by our Eldest Brother in a single night. Even mundanes were not spared. Now that our Eldest Brother is about to break through to the mid-stage of Deity Transformation, as long as he steps in, I'm sure he will crush those people who dared to destroy our Sect's subdivisions into pieces!" The scar-faced muscular man cried out angrily as his eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
"I'm afraid that things aren't that simple. You don't know yet, but a month ago, the batch of Shadow Cat girls that Hall Leader Shi was escorting were attacked. Including Hall Leader Shi, more than two dozen people disappeared and we still don't know where they are. Now that I think about it, it seems highly likely that it is related to what happened recently. Hall Leader Shi is barely below our cultivation base of middle-stage Nascent Soul, yet his Nascent Soul wasn't able to escape, so we can tell that the other party isn't showing us any mercy." The blue-robed middle-aged man hummed as he said.
"There's such a thing?! It seems like the other party's ability isn't lower than our Eldest Brother's. Maybe this issue might involve that person from the Sky Ghost Sect too." The scar-faced muscular man said as he sucked in a cold breath.
Right at that moment, a crack sounded from the depths of the sanctuary. The bloody glow on the surface of the stone door vanished and the doors opened from the inside as a white-robed man slowly walked out.
The man looked like he was only in his thirties. He was extremely handsome, his face pale and clean with no beard as he gave others a warm and elegant feeling.
"Congratulations to Eldest Brother!" Seeing this, the blue-robed middle-aged man and the scar-faced muscular man hurriedly knelt down with loud thuds.
"Hehe, brothers, as our Sect's deputy Sect Masters, you don't have to be so polite. Do get up before we speak." The elegant man slowly walked in front of the two and said with a chuckle.
The two hurriedly voiced their gratitude before they stood up.
"Eldest Brother, I…" The blue-robed middle-aged man took half a step forward, wanting to say something.
"Feng Song, I already know about the matters you messaged me about. If not, I wouldn't have come out earlier. I don't have much time. You have to tell me, have there been any further developments?" The elegant man interrupted the blue-robed middle-aged man.
"Replying to Eldest Brother, the same thing happened to the Sui County's subdivisions three days ago. Barely anyone out of the two hundred people survived. Together with what happened to Hall Leader Shi, Lao San and I guess that the other party's strength is at least at Deity Transformation stage and that they are good at using fire-attribute magical treasures or skills." Feng Song said as he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead carefully.
"Just this? Barely anyone survived means that there were people who survived. Feng Song, since when have you learned to beat around the bush with your words?" The elegant man said as he glanced at Feng Song with an indifferent smile.
"Please forgive me, Eldest Brother. The person is currently outside the sanctuary. I'll get someone to bring him here immediately." Feng Song hurriedly said as his heart clenched tightly.
Seeing that the elegant man did not stop him, he hurriedly turned around and called out. At that moment, the back of his shirt had already been drenched in cold sweat.
Within a few moments, a thin teenager hurriedly stumbled into the sanctuary. Seeing the three men in the sanctuary, he hurriedly bent down, paying his respects and said.
"Greetings to Sect Master and the two Deputy Sect Masters!"
"You don't have to be so polite and do get up. Tell me about the situation you were in." The elegant man said with a warm smile.
"R-Replying to Sect Master, my subdivision was attacked in the middle of the night three days ago. I-I couldn't see their faces properly. I only knew that they used a flame magic and turned the entire group into ash straight away… No one survived, even Leader Yu didn't survive." The thin teenager did not dare get up as he stammered.
"If you said that no one survived, how did you survive?" The elegant man asked again.
"I went out to do something and happened to arrive at the Coiling Cross Mountain outside of the base when it happened. That was how I managed to survive." The thin teenager said in fear.
"Did you miss anything?" The elegant man furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
"N-No…" Seeing this, the thin teenager became a little nervous.
The elegant man smiled faintly, before he suddenly reached out and grabbed the air. Something tightened around the thin teenager's body and several black glows surfaced above his head before they dived into his head like snakes.
The teenager cried out terribly in pain as blood flowed ceaselessly out of him. However, his voice softened very quickly as he collapsed onto the floor weakly.
"Seems like he was rather honest." The elegant man put down his hand and nodded as a knowing expression flashed across his face.
After the thin teenager came in, Feng Song and the scar-faced muscular man kept their heads down, not daring to even breathe out loud.
Right at that moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded from outside. With that came loud exclamations and shouts and the entire sanctuary rapidly shook.
The elegant man's expression darkened as he morphed into lightning and flew out of the sanctuary.
Feng Song and the scar-faced muscular man hurriedly followed after.
The sky above the dark-red mountains were covered by a thick bloody cloud with a light curtain. Above the light curtain, there were three black giant mountains of about a thousand feet tall, each of them covered with a black glow.
The red light and the black glow interlaced with each other and sparkled as they fell into a stalemate.
In the valley, countless shadows flew out of the various buildings. There were about a thousand people, as they all looked up into the sky and their expressions changed drastically.
"Bang."
Another black giant mountain fell from the skies. This time, the bloody light on the surface of the light curtain surged, before it could not hold on any longer and shattered into pieces.
Four giant black mountains fell down one after another and cast a dark shadow over a good portion of the valley under them, including the large sanctuary.
Everyone immediately fell into a panic and ran away into all sorts of directions.
However, the falling speed of the mountains were extremely quick. How could these people be able to run away in time? Their expressions quickly morphed into despair.
Right at this moment, a figure appeared over the large sanctuary. It was that white-robed elegant man.
Without another word, he waved a hand and a red colored streamer appeared in front of him. With a twirl, it welcomed the wind and grew rapidly, before it sprayed out a large patch of bloody red glow that spread under the four giant mountains.
The two immediately clashed with each other!
The glow of the red colored streamer immediately grew and trembled nonstop, even though it managed to stop the descent and supported the four giant mountains.
"Hurray to Sect Master!"
The Blood Saber Sect members under the ominous shadow immediately cheered.
However, before they could let out another cheer, a dark shadow flashed in the sky once more and another giant mountain dropped down.
A loud clang sounded!
The bloody red light instantly dissipated under the pressure of the five mountains while the red streamer underneath was also torn into pieces. The five giant black mountains continued to fall with nothing to stop it anymore, their speed crazy and alarming!
The five giant mountains seemed to cover the sky above the mountain peak and plunged the entire mountain peak into darkness.
The elegant man's expression changed. Without any hesitation, his body shivered and he flew out right before the five mountains hit the floor.
Loud tumbles!
The five mountains fell with a strong impact and a crazy wave of dust spread out. The ground trembled crazily and cries of despair and pain filled the area, although the cries were immediately swallowed by the loud bang from the mountains.
Above the mountain peak, a figure blurred and the elegant man's figure appeared as he stared ahead with a dark expression.
There was a green-jade flying boat floating there. There was an elderly figure and a young person standing there. The older figure was an elderly cultivator wearing a grayish-white robe, while the younger figure was a pretty teenage girl.
It was Perfected White Stone and Liu Le'er.
"Who are you exactly?" The elegant man asked slowly after narrowing his eyes a little.
"People who came to kill you!" Liu Le'er's voice was cold.
"Eh, someone from the Cloud Fox Clan? I got it. You are that little demon fox that managed to run away back then, aren't you? I didn't expect to see your cultivation base reach the Core Formation level after so many years. Now that I think about it, the fur of the Cloud Fox clan from the Green Cloud Mountain are one of the top ingredients for protective treasures. I earned quite a large sum back then." The elegant man hummed softly before he laughed lightly as he recalled something.
"Jia Ren, I will kill you!"
Liu Le'er's eyes were red as her fingers moved into another gesture. A silver glow sparkled on her left arm and a silver fire ball flew out. After turning a few rounds, it morphed into a silver fire bird the size of a palm and the bird pounced towards the elegant man.
As Jia Ren was speaking, he had already flared out his consciousness and checked out the entire area, even though he did not find any cultivators above the Deity Transformation level.
After he saw the inconspicuous silver firebird, he froze for a second before a scoff appeared on his lips.
"Two juniors at the Core Formation stage dare to go against me?! What a joke!"
After he said so, he opened his mouth and spat out a black ring. After twirling a round, it suddenly morphed into a black fire monster of about a thousand feet tall.
The monster looked like a lion or a tiger. It exuded a crazy and violent aura as it stepped onto the void and welcomed the silver firebird.
The two sizes were drastically different.
However, with a silver sparkle, the silver firebird immediately surged into the black fire monster's body and reappeared through another hole in the monster's body.
The black fire monster froze, before it exploded and disintegrated with a loud hum.
Jia Ren's eyes widened as he did not dare to believe what he had just witnessed. However, he reacted almost immediately and instantly turned around to run. His body sparkled brightly, his body immediately covered by a bloody red armor from head to toe.
However, that silver firebird was extremely quick and caught up to him instantly. With a flash, it pierced through his body. The bloody red armor was not able to resist the attack either.
"No…"
Jia Ren only had time to cry out a 'no' before his body disintegrated into a ball of flames, burning brightly. Everything, including the magical treasures on him, quickly turned into ash.
The silver firebird spun around in the air, before it opened its mouth and sprayed out a patch of silver flames at the valley below.
As it was falling, the silver flames spread with incredible speed, turning into a sea of silver flames and it covered the entire dark red mountain.
As they were being pressed down by the five mountains, the people in the valley could not escape at all.
Right now, Liu Le'er was staring at the blazing sea of flames under her, her sight long blurred with tears.
"Father, Mother, Brother, Sister… Le'er finally killed our enemy today, I have exterminated the Blood Saber Sect and have avenged you," she said with a soft mutter.
After a while, Perfected White Stone finally said, "Daoist Liu, congratulations on avenging your great hatred!"
"This is still mainly due to what Daoist White Stone has done in the past few years. Brother said that he will remember this." Liu Le'er wiped her tears away before she bowed sincerely at Perfected White Stone.
"I don't dare to. I will do everything Senior Han instructs to my best ability," Perfected White Stone said hurriedly.
