“Huff, huff, huff~”
Panting heavily, his body enveloped in mist,
Su Jingxing stood in midair. Clusters of hot air were released from his body and wrapped around his body, filling the sky and ground.
Although Yun Zhaoxian had just broken through to the Meditation realm, his strength was real.
Su Jingxing had relied on the strength of a two-tribulation Overlord to kill him.
If Yun Zhaoxian wasn’t possessed and knew pain and fear, killing him wouldn’t be so troublesome.
However, Yun Zhaoxian had entered Qi Deviation, so it was difficult for Su Jingxing to kill him.
Fortunately, the duration of the two-tribulation Overlord Card had not passed. Otherwise, Su Jingxing would have had no choice but to retreat.
I wonder what card I extracted after killing this fellow.
Su Jingxing was not in a good position to bring it out, but his Primordial Spirit on Earth Star had no scruples. It took out the newly extracted card from the soul space and read the information.
An Equipment Card, containing a Heavenly Dao crystal…
Hmm?
Heavenly Dao crystals?
Yun Zhaoxian actually obtained Heavenly Dao crystals?
Is this a pleasant surprise?
Su Jingxing was surprised, but his expression remained unchanged.
Killing Yun Zhaoxian and obtaining a Heavenly Dao crystal was worth the Overlord Card.
Su Jingxing thought to himself and put away the card.
On the ground.
Donglai Wen’s eyes widened as he stared blankly at Yun Zhaoxian’s shattered corpse.
Dead…
The Sect Master in the Meditation realm, the Sect Master who had become a demon for some reason had actually died just like that…
Forcefully destroyed!
Is this Kong Xuan really just a one-tribulation Overlord?
And not the three tribulations?
Donglai Wen’s breathing became heavier. His chest rose and fell. After a while, his consciousness returned and he barely regained his composure.
Swoosh!
Pushing off the ground, Donglai Wen flew into the air and thanked Su Jingxing stiffly. “Thank you, Overlord Kong, for exterminating the demon for the Yan Ri Sect. I’m forever grateful!”
The moment these words left his mouth, Donglai Wen felt awkward again.
Su Jingxing did kill a demon, but this demon was the Sect Master of the Yanri Sect, and Donglai Wen was an elder of the sect…
Shaking his head calmly, Su Jingxing said, “Elder Donglai, you’re too polite. There’s no need to thank me. On the other hand, we have to figure out what happened to your sect as soon as possible. Is your Sect Master the only one who has become a demon, or are there more? We have to get this clear as quickly as possible!”
“Yes, yes. Let’s get to the bottom of what happened at the sect first.” Donglai Wen nodded with a grim expression.
With that, he flew towards the entrance of the sect.
Su Jingxing followed closely behind.
The two of them entered the mountain range one behind the other.
Flying in the air, they patrolled the ground. The first thing he saw was the archway of the mountain gate. On the mountain path, there were corpses.
With Dong Laiwen and Su Jingxing’s vision, they could still see the exact situation of these corpses clearly while flying in the air.
Mummies!
Every corpse was a mummy.
There were drained of essence energy, blood, and soul, leaving only withered bones curled up in uniforms of the same style.
Without a doubt, these people were all disciples of the Yanri Sect.
However, at this moment, they had all turned into dried corpses.
Su Jingxing’s eyes flashed as he took in the sight.
When Donglai Wen saw this, his face was filled with sorrow and tears flowed uncontrollably.
“Dead, they’re all dead, they’re all dead…”
He murmured as he flew through the air. Along the way, all he saw was mummies.
There were more than ten thousand people stationed in the sect, and all of them had turned into mummies.
Who was the murderer?
Yun Zhaoxian!
For some reason, the Sect Master of the Yanri Sect had become a demon and killed everyone in the sect, turning them into mummies.
After this battle, Yanri Sect’s position of the number one sect could no longer be secured.
Even though Donglai Wen and the elders left outside had escaped the calamity, saving Yanri Sect from going extinct, it was already impossible for the sect to rule this world like before.
Su Jingxing didn’t know the strength of the other sects in this world.
However, some things were common no matter the location.
When a tiger on a mountain dies, other carnivores, regardless of their size, would pounce on it and take a bite.
The Yanri Sect used to rule over the world. Now that their main force had been wiped out, would the other sects in this world watch on indifferently and allow Donglai Wen and the others to continue developing?
Impossible!
Putting everything else aside, just the Datang Dynasty alone would definitely throw themselves over and take a bite.
If they did not take this opportunity to leave the control of the Yanri Sect, the imperial family of the Datang Dynasty would be fools.
The Emperor might be a fool. After all, fools could easily become puppets.
However, the Datang imperial family definitely weren’t.
Now, all was left was to see how long the news of the collapse of the sect and the destruction of its main force could be concealed.
If Su Jingxing hadn’t had that earth-shattering battle with Yun Zhaoxian,
Hiding the news for three to five months wouldn’t be a problem.
After all, not everyone could enter the the doors of Yanri Sect.
Donglai Wen could find an excuse to close the sect for a year and a half. No one else would suspect anything.
Unfortunately, the battle that shattered space and collapsed mountains had alarmed countless people.
At this moment, it was unknown how many people were rushing towards the Yanri Sect from all directions.
Was Donglai Wen aware of this situation?
Of course he was.
However, there was nothing he could do to stop it. It was too late to conceal things.
Firstly, the defensive array formation was already broken and would take several days to repair.
Secondly, Su Jingxing was still around. The dozen of devils outside had also seen what happened. If he wanted to hide it, he had to kill Su Jingxing first.
Besides, even if he paid a huge price to ask Su Jingxing to help conceal the matter, he wouldn’t be able to stop others from investigating.
