Chapter 846: Chapter 166: Lord of the Inheriting Heaven (14k words, long Chapter, seeking monthly pass)_3

His eyes were bloodshot as he asked, "Why?"

"You are also from a prestigious sect, why are you doing something as if you were a Heavenly Demon!?"

"They are all Heavenly Demons! They have been tainted by the Heavenly Demon!"

Even with the protective formation bestowed by his ancestors, Feng Qiguan screamed in fear: "There are reports of a Heavenly Demon manifesting in this village, we are here to eradicate the Heavenly Demons, nothing more!"

"As for Soul Refinement, they are all Heavenly Demons anyway. Our people get injured fighting the Heavenly Demons, using the enemy as material on the spot to recover is perfectly normal!"

With increasing confidence, Feng Qiguan shouted angrily, "You people of Bright Mirror Sect, attacking allies over a disagreement, when we get to the Five Sects Alliance, I will definitely report this harshly!"

"Heavenly Demons?"

Nan Huaijing was taken aback. He raised his head and carefully inspected the pile of corpses once more. With his divine vision, he saw that the corpse at the very core, an old man who was probably the village chief, indeed had traces of the Heavenly Demon’s aura on him.

A kind of despairing, hollow aura, complete hopelessness, leading only to the deepest, most aimless abyss.

Bitterness... and loneliness.

A chilling taste brushed over his tongue, sorrowful winds hitting his ears, sending a shiver down his spine reaching his brain, faint voices echoing in his mind.

Indeed.

This was indeed the breath of the Heavenly Demon.

No more words were needed; Nan Huaijing already understood the reason behind the village chief’s fall... Yes, the authorities had confiscated all the food, leaving these small villages with no future. The despair of ordinary people couldn’t summon a Heavenly Demon, but the world is filled with countless souls in despair, among them, those who could call forth a Heavenly Demon were also countless.

But...

"Then why kill everyone else?"

His fury did not diminish in the slightest; instead, the nameless rage in Nan Huaijing’s heart surged even more fiercely. He glared and fiercely headbutted Feng Qiguan: "Or even massacre them like this!"

"Are you killing for pleasure or eradicating demons? You may fool the idiots, but you dare lie to me?!"

Knowing that Nan Huaijing couldn’t handle him, Feng Qiguan became even more brazen: "Damn you, I have a Demon Suppression Order. Even if a True Lord comes, I can still claim I am here to kill demons!"

"And you, what right do you have to lay hands on me? I already sent out a message, and now I can say you were bewitched by the Heavenly Demon and attacked an ally. Wait until a True Person arrives and see who gets punished!"

Reasonably speaking, even if there was a Heavenly Demon in a village, it was necessary to carefully distinguish. But for some martial artists, it was too much trouble; with a Heavenly Demon appearing it meant the area was demon-territory, so kill everyone and bring in new settlers, a simple and convenient solution.

Precisely because he knew this, and that whichever True Person from the Five Sects would likely side with Feng Qiguan, Nan Huaijing felt all the more disgusted and enraged.

Perhaps it wasn’t just the sect’s system. The very fabric of society throughout Dust Li and the entire world was problematic!

However...

How to change this deeply rooted order?

Just as Feng Qiguan said, soon after the emergency message was sent, a streak of light crossed the sky, and a True Person was about to arrive.

What made everyone’s face change dramatically was that the arriving individual was a True Person of the Taiming Sect.

The Five Sects Alliance, in response to the Heavenly Demons and Demon Army, had True Persons stationed in various places to support urgent situations. Theoretically, the probability of getting a True Person from any sect in any location should be the same, but Feng Qiguan was exceptionally lucky.

"Young Feng? Bright Mirror Sect? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Feng Qiguan pressed to the ground by people from Bright Mirror Sect, the True Person from Taiming Sect’s face turned grim, then looked at Nan Huaijing with a deep frown, "Do you know what you are doing? Arbitrarily attacking allies, killing people from my Taiming Sect..."

Before he finished his sentence, his eyes shifted slightly, and suddenly, an Eight-Armed Ghost God appeared, holding seals with two arms, five arms attacking the five True Transmission disciples present, and the last arm was about to snatch back Feng Qiguan.

As the seal formed, the world darkened, a chilling desolation enveloped everyone. They tried to turn to leave, but found their feet dragged by the hands of ghosts, while the five arms of the Ghost God quickly and accurately suppressed each one, with its energy spilling over, hitting the village ruins, erupting in a series of dust and fire columns.

But the five True Disciples had sensed something amiss the moment the True Person arrived, and had already formed Bright Mirror Sect’s martial formation [Flowing Light Translucence], raising a protective shield.

The Ghost God’s massive hand descended like a meteor, each strike met by a vaguely visible transparent layer in mid-air. Although each layer shattered, it blocked the attacks and the energy from each shatter spilled over to form the strength for the next shield’s condensation.

Amid dispersed flowing light, faint five-colored lines circulated like a rainbow mirror, repeatedly gathering the force of the Ghost God’s strikes and firmly resisting their assaults.

Seeing he couldn’t easily overpower them, the True Person of Taiming Sect’s face darkened even more. He continued to press his attack, the Ghost God’s eight arms moving so fast they left only a series of afterimages, its fierce ghost fists pounding on the formation shield like turbulent waves. At the same time, he spoke: "Whatever the misunderstanding may be, Feng Qiguan is the son of a True Lord, you can’t handle him, so why go to such lengths."
