Chapter 123: Chapter 81: Setting Mountain on Fire

Yin Sect Leader slightly smiled, "It had already been arranged... At that time, the mountain peak opposite us would collapse, revealing a cave entrance. Inside, I have made some arrangements that should be enough for them to fight each other to death."

"Then we would lead our people to strike, handling those remaining and the newcomers; a few hundred thousand should suffice."

"And then we will create a phenomenon of a treasure emerging from the earth, causing colorful lights to shoot into the sky, which would last for a quarter of an hour at night, provoking even greater frenzy."

Yin Sect Leader said, "This sort of thing, I am quite familiar with."

He glanced sideways at the other sect leaders and said indifferently, "If you were to start asking questions before making arrangements, wouldn’t everything be doomed to fail?"

Although the other sect leaders found his words unpleasant, they had to admit that Yin Sect Leader indeed had a more thorough plan than they had conceived.

They had no choice but to agree.

Yin Sect Leader turned around.

He spoke to a middle-aged man beside him, "Zhong Yuan, the commotion here will sooner or later attract the attention of the Guardian Hall, and they will surely intervene to stop us. At that time, you and your Law Enforcement Hall and War Hall, must hold strong!"

The man beside him was Vice Sect Leader Zhong Yuan of the Yixin Sect.

He had a rough face with profound eyes.

Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Sect Leader, rest assured, I am fully prepared."

"Good. Try to kill as many from the Guardian Hall as possible; this matter now seems to be a minor issue, likely only attracting the likes of small places like Bibo City to respond, and the scene should not be too big. I believe you can handle it."

Yin Sect Leader smiled.

"Sect Leader, do not worry, even if the Guardian Hall from a major state like White Cloud State were to come in full force, I would not fear!"

"Excellent!"

Yin Sect Leader smiled reassuringly and said sincerely, "Be careful, and if there really is any accident, you must save yourself first. If the situation turns unfavorable, immediately retreat!"

"I understand."

Zhong Yuan’s eyes showed a touched expression.

"Good, drink this cup of wine, and then you may go."

Yin Sect Leader smiled, "I will be here, covering for you."

"Okay!"

Zhong Yuan downed the drink in one gulp.

He then grabbed the broadsword beside him, "Sect Leader, fellow sect leaders, I am off!"

"Excellent!"

Zhong Yuan stepped back two steps, then turned around and flew into the dense forest like a large bird.

Behind him, over a thousand people set off at the same time, stealthily moving through the forest.

Shadows abounded, eerie and terrifying, with a chilling murderous aura.

Yin Sect Leader watched the figures of Zhong Yuan and his men, his gaze profound.

The other sect leaders felt somewhat envious; Zhong Yuan was incredibly capable.

"Sect Leader Yin is fortunate to have Vice Sect Leader Ren, who is capable enough to stand alone, whether it be cultivation, tactics, or wisdom, he is the top choice to assist Sect Leader Yin, making Sect Leader Yin’s life much easier."

Yin Sect Leader watched Zhong Yuan’s departing figure and slightly smiled, "Yes, with Zhong Yuan here, I am indeed much more relaxed... However, speaking of which, if you others are envious, adding another vice sect hierarch is not difficult. Plus, it would build connections with higher levels. After all, those who can directly become a vice sect hierarch are well-connected."

Hai Wuliang and the others nodded in agreement.

That made sense.

Kou Yifang laughed and said, "If we could get someone like Zhong Yuan, that would be great, but if we get someone hungry for power and position, wouldn’t that be making trouble for ourselves?"

Yin Sect Leader’s expression flickered slightly as he said indifferently, "Do you really plan to sit in these sect leader positions for the rest of your lives?"

At this remark, silence fell immediately.

Everyone began to ponder, deep in thought.

What they were thinking about was unclear.

...

Masked experts from the Demon Sect appeared and disappeared unpredictably in the dense forest, continually slaughtering the Jianghu People who arrived, leaving their corpses in the wilderness.

Those who acted were all above King level, Emperor level, and even higher.

The Jianghu People who arrived in this vast forest were mostly small Jianghu groups, with generally not high cultivation.

Batch by batch, they were killed, barely able to fight back.

Blood gurgled, saturating the earth.

Within thousands of miles, the stench of blood was overwhelming.

From dawn to dusk, from brilliant sunlight to the moon high in the sky, and then to the east brightening...

The greed for treasure drew Jianghu People from all regions, turning this place into a huge cake, attracting people from all directions.

And the cruelty of the Demon Sect, coupled with their respective greed, turned this vast forest into a giant grave.

Deep underground.

The body lay there quietly.

Infinite blood mist surrounded it, whistling continuously, endless spiritual energy, endless blood energy, life essence poured into the body.

The broken body had been restored.

The skin all over was like jade, somewhat translucent.

Even, a faint blood color had started to appear.

The chest area was nearly completely transparent.

A heart could be clearly seen inside, already beginning to beat slightly.

Continual killing, fighting, and blood seeping into the ground above.

Roars, screams, dying wails, sounds of combat, and breaking trees continuously merged into one.

The body underground quietly absorbed.

Infinite.

It was afternoon again.

Zhong Yuan was leading his subordinates in a massacre; he no longer knew how many people he had killed and was starting to feel somewhat exhausted, even his wrist was aching.

"Have the people from the Guardian Hall arrived?"

"Not seen."

"Keep watch. Once they arrive, lure them into the trap immediately, and focus on taking down the people from the Guardian Hall first!"

"Yes."

Night fell again.

The people from the Guardian Hall had not arrived, but just as the moon hung over the treetops...

Suddenly, a melodious flute sound drifted from a distant place.

Like the music of the immortals from nine days, it fell softly.

Drawing ever nearer.

Amidst the sound of the flute, there seemed to be a mysterious power that calmed the mind. Many who had been engulfed in a frenzied slaughter ceased fighting upon hearing the flute, suddenly feeling a moment of clarity in their minds.

They abruptly stopped their combat, stepping back a few paces, breathing heavily.

Yet, there were still many who could not stop and continued fighting with bloodshot eyes.

On a distant hilltop,

the leaders of Yin Shen Palace and others all had a change in expression.

"This isn’t right! Is this the ’Yan Jun Flute’ from the Weapon List?"

Yin Shen Palace’s pupils contracted and he immediately hid his body behind a large tree.

The others also hid and communicated through transmitted messages.

"Is it him?"

"It seems so."

"Keep watching, let’s confirm."

Yin Shen Palace’s figure had already vanished below the cliffside.

As the sound of the flute drew nearer, it reached above the forest.

Under the bright moonlight, a figure clothed in white stood in the sky, like an immortal floating up with clouds under his feet.

With a loud shout, "Stop!"

Boom, boom, boom, like thunder from the nine days above, the entire ground trembled.

Mountains near and far resounded with noise.

Even some mountains had countless rolling stones shaken loose, causing thousands of valleys to roar incessantly.

With a fierce shout, the heavens and earth shook.

On the ground,

having escaped over two hundred li, Yin Shen Palace shrank his head, crouched down, and silently sprinted through the bushes.

It really was the ’Yan Jun Flute’!

Run!

The other leaders had already scattered early like birds and beasts.

Then, fire rockets shot into the sky in all directions with a loud explosion.

Retreat signal!

In the air,

the figure in white waved his Jade Flute, and over a hundred beams of light flashed and disappeared.

Dozens of people on the ground, who were trying to escape, were suddenly struck, frozen in place.

The forest was too large and there were too many fleeing; the man in white could not discern which were from the Demon Sect, he simply took care of everyone he could see.

He floated in the air, continuously casting powerful energies, knocking down everyone below.

These so-called experts of the Jianghu were so easily defeated by his hand.

Only knocked down, but not killed or injured.

After a moment,

there was no one left standing.

The man in white laughed heartily, "Come in and clean up."

Far away, outside the dense forest, people from various Guardian Halls had already arrived. Upon hearing the call, they rushed over en masse.

And carts rushed forward swiftly.

Countless people from the Guardian Halls entered the vast forest to search. All who were knocked down by the man in white were carried out, piled high on the carts and hauled away.

Whether they were Jianghu experts or from the Demon Sect, there was no time to distinguish – all were thrown together and taken away.

They would be dealt with one by one after returning.

The area was too vast; thousands of people busied themselves back and forth searching and transporting, taking all night.

The perimeter had long been sealed.

A night passed.

The man in white watched from above, deterring a thousand li around.

He was like a sword of thunder hanging in midair,

Always ready to unsheathe!

Below a signal rose, and fireworks soared into the air.

Someone shouted loudly, "Lord Yang, the cleanup is complete."

The man in white nodded and said indifferently, "Withdraw!"

After a moment,

he floated down from midair, circled around the forest, and with his Divine Sense, distinctly identified the condition of every leaf and tree.

He finally confirmed it, this unhealthy situation spanned three thousand li.

Then his white clothes fluttered as he precisely stood in the central airspace.

His body rose gently like a cloud, a hundred yards into the air.

With a loud shout, his Jade Flute emitted a terrifying sound of ’woo woo woo’, resounding between heaven and earth.

Millions of beams of white light suddenly erupted.

Then another wave of white light.

Wave after wave of white light continuously flew from his flute down into the forest.

The ground below was as if subjected to a barrage of artillery, booming continuously, the whole forest was instantly destroyed, the ground shook and the mountains collapsed.

He did not stop, continuing like this.

It was half an hour before he ceased.

Once again, countless men in black appeared around; they busied themselves, laboring in all directions, cutting down trees from outside the designated area set by the man in white, throwing them in this designated zone.

Each of these men was highly skilled, acting quickly and chopping efficiently.

Carrying huge trees and flying around, seemingly without care.

The booming sound continued.

The man in white watched from high above, keeping vigilance in all directions, constantly urging, "Faster! Even faster!"

It took all morning to accumulate. Within a thousand li, it was barren.

All the trees, chopped bare, were thrown in the middle three thousand li zone, piled up high.

At a command, bucket after bucket of kerosene continuously fell from the air.

After hundreds of thousands of buckets of kerosene,

A spark flashed.

Suddenly, a massive fire surged to the sky!
