Super War God in the City
Chapter 728 - 728: Good and Evil Cannot Coexist!

Witchcraft Sect's Gu Art is unpredictable and hard to defend against; it has always been regarded with apprehension by the Eight Major Sects, and is even deemed a heretical cult, shunned by all.

This technique, "Hundred Gu Devouring Heart," is the unique profound skill of the Witchcraft Sect Leader, rarely performed by anyone within the Witchcraft Sect.

"What is your relation to the Witchcraft Sect Leader, Lan Xingyuan?" the Wudang Disciple asked with his whole body on guard, issuing a cold shout and demanding an answer.

The woman in black did not reply but merely lifted her hand and flicked a series of phantom shadows.

At the same moment, one could see in the grass and dirt underfoot a rustling as black insect shadows zipped towards the feet of the four people, silent and swift!

It was difficult for Gu Insects to sneak through the Protective Gang Qi of the group, but they could bypass their defenses through the soil. Once at their feet, the insects could easily subdue them.

"Everyone, be careful of your feet, and sprinkle this 'Gu-Expelling Powder' on the ground!" the Emei Disciple immediately took out several packets of powder and tossed them to the others.

Even if they were infested with Gu within the same realm, it would still be quite troublesome.

"Heh, indeed a Witchcraft Sect witch. I've heard Lan Xingyuan has a daughter; you must be her, right?" the Emei Female Disciple sneered coldly.

Being able to perform the "Hundred Gu Devouring Heart" technique, and being a woman, the few present were somewhat startled but then guessed more or less who she was.

"Lan Zihan, hand over the items and come back with us to face trial. If your father personally comes to apologize, we might spare your life!" the Wudang Disciple sprinkled the powder on the ground and said coldly.

After the powder was scattered, the Gu Insects that had been approaching emitted squealing sounds as they retreated, not daring to come closer.

All things have their counterbalance; Emei is predominantly female and particularly loathes creatures like Gu and snakes.

Thus, they have a department dedicated to research in pest control, especially targeted studies against the Witchcraft Sect.

The woman in black's expression changed, and seeing as she had been recognized, she saw no need to stay hidden, promptly removing the black hood and veil from her head.

Her hair fell like a waterfall, and as the onlookers focused, they saw in the dim light, a woman with a complexion clear as jade, radiant like the crescent moon or flowers piled with snow.

With a cold and spirited charm that could beguile the soul, she was irresistibly enchanting.

Upon seeing the woman's peerless beauty, the men were instantly stunned, having often heard of the unmatched beauty of the Witchcraft Sect Leader's daughter, and now seeing her in person, they found the rumors to be true.

The Emei Female Disciples by their side, after their initial astonishment, immediately showed intense jealousy and a cold glare in their eyes.

Compared to Lan Zihan, they felt like roadside daisies to pristine lilies, suddenly losing all their luster.

"Witchcraft Sect witch, put away your charm. Today, we of the Eight Major Sects will act as heaven's agents and take your life!" the Emei Female Disciple couldn't help but shout angrily, brandishing her sword to attack.

The other three, upon hearing this, also came to their senses, their faces turning red with embarrassment.

These people pride themselves on being upright and noble, yet they had just made a fool of themselves in front of this woman, appearing like lustful fools; it would be one thing if it were just the men, but there was also an Emei Disciple with them.

"Hmph, Witchcraft Sect witch, we almost fell for your tricks, how preposterous!" roared a Martial Arts Disciple, also drawing his sword to join the fray.

The fellow found an excuse for his behavior, but his eyes could not hide his covetousness.

The Bagua Sect and Jiuhua Sect Disciples also berated her one after another, as if the foolishness and lust they had shown were all Lan Zihan's fault.

Upon seeing this, Lan Zihan was momentarily stunned, then her pretty face frosted over with anger.

"Heh, today I've seen it for myself. It seems that the self-proclaimed righteous Eight Major Sects are nothing but beasts in fine clothing," the woman sneered coldly.

Saying that, she swung her sword towards the Emei Female Disciple charging at her, "That makeup on your face, caked on like a ghost—you planning on seducing some dead man!"

The Emei Female Disciple was immediately infuriated into a shrill cry, "Witch, you will die!"

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, both sides engaged in battle, with the other three also converging in attack.

Lan Zihan faced four opponents with her sword, occasionally dealing with stealth attacks from Gu Insects, barely managing to hold her ground for the moment.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

"Swoosh~"

In the twilight, the four quickly cooperated in encirclement, with the flash of blades and the rampant Qi weaving a dense Sword Net.

Lan Zihan was trapped in the middle, her figure swiftly rotating in place, and the speed of her sword flicks growing ever quicker. From a distance, the scene bristled with danger.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out, and despite her best efforts, Lan Zihan could not fight off multiple attackers. She grunted and was struck out of the circle.

"Hold on!" Lan Zihan forcefully suppressed the surging blood in her chest and immediately shouted to stop several people.

Under the current situation, continuing to entangle with them would benefit her not at all; sooner or later, she would fall into their hands.

If she delayed further, and their reinforcements arrived, she would be truly unable to escape, even if she had wings.

"Witch, are you ready to surrender?" the Emei female disciple sneered.

The other three were also taken aback and paused, looking at Lan Zihan warily.

"I will give you the item, just let me go!" Lan Zihan decided and spoke indifferently.

Her current predicament demanded that she prioritize saving her own life; everything else was extraneous.

"Hmph, Witch, it seems you don't understand your current plight!

Do you even have the right to negotiate with us? Besides handing over the item, you'll also have to come back with us for questioning!" the Emei disciple said through gritted teeth.

This hag would not so easily let go of Lan Zihan. The humiliation she had suffered at her hands was still fresh in her memory, and she itched to scratch the witch's face right now.

Without waiting for the others to speak, an object resembling a bamboo slip flashed in Lan Zihan's hands and appeared before everyone.

"This is what I obtained in the Lost Valley; this hand scroll contains information about the Lost Valley. Believe me, if I destroy it, you'll see who suffers more!" Lan Zihan said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances.

"Lan Zihan, hand over the item, and we will let you leave!" the Wudang disciple who had recovered said in a deep voice.

"Step back!" Lan Zihan immediately ordered.

"Don't listen to her. Even if the authenticity of the item is in question, what if she escapes?" the Emei female disciple said through gritted teeth.

She hadn't expected the witch to have such a trick up her sleeve. Although the truth of her claim was unknown, it certainly put everyone in a difficult position.

"Crack!"

Lan Zihan didn't say another word. Her True Yuan flowed through her hands, and she viciously twisted the item as if she was really going to destroy the hand scroll.

"Wait, we'll back off!" The Wudang disciple's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly spoke up.

The secrets of the Lost Valley were always a thorny issue for the Eight Major Sects. If indeed it was true, it would be a matter of great importance.

Even if she escaped today, it wouldn't matter—the Eight Major Sects would undoubtedly join forces to attack the Witchcraft Sect.

Upon hearing this, both the Jiuhua Sect disciples and Bagua Sect disciples retreated, and the Emei disciple, gnashing her teeth and grunting angrily, also backed off unwillingly.

"Whoosh!"

Lan Zihan tore at the hand scroll, shredding it and scattering it as if performing Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers, then made a break for it. Her figure flashed as she fled into the distance.

The others were taken aback by this sudden development. They stood dumbfounded and were caught off guard for a few moments before coming back to their senses.

The Wudang disciple was furious, "One stays behind to collect the fragments, the rest follow me in pursuit!"

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Several figures scurried in the chase, leaving someone from the Jiuhua Sect to gather the pieces of the hand scroll. That person was fast; they could easily catch up later.

As the Jiuhua Sect disciple hurriedly gathered the fragments, he realized that the material was indestructible and that Lan Zihan had merely torn the binding string.

Upon seeing this, the Jiuhua Sect disciple became even more certain that the item was a treasure and that Lan Zihan had not been lying.

"Catch her; the hand scroll indeed comes from the Lost Valley!" the Jiuhua Sect disciple excitedly turned and shouted to the distant figures.

Hearing this, the three pursuers' spirits were lifted, and they quickened their pace.

"Hmph, good and evil can never coexist; we must not let her get away!" The Emei disciple coldly exclaimed.
