Chapter 679 - 679 214 Scared to Death

Chapter 679: Chapter 214: Scared to Death Chapter 679: Chapter 214: Scared to Death Filled with rage and fueled by old grudges mixed with fresh ones, the wrathful Demon Clan Emperor was compelled to use absolute power when he retaliated, letting loose all his strength!

With a loud bang, a thick layer of floating snow clouds above Yuezhou City was directly shattered by the angry Cat Emperor. His fiery power surged, causing the sky to roll and ripple, revealing three thousand miles of clear sky!

The warm sunlight once again shone down on the earth!

However, the long-lost sunlight did not bring warmth to anyone. Instead, it stirred up an intense fear from the depths of their hearts.

Countless blades of wind also descended with the sunlight.

Darkness surged, as countless blades fell hard onto the earth!

Piercing screams resonated everywhere.

All the people from the three major sects near the Wind Mansion were killed. Not a single one was spared. They all fell onto the ground, turning into piles of crushed flesh.

No, there were still seven or eight junior disciples at the very periphery. They stood there shivering, looking at the scene in front of them, nearly fainting from fear.

The reason they were still alive was not because the blades of wind had missed them, but because they had been intentionally spared.

However, no one else was alive. The corpses were so mutilated that it was impossible to tell who was who.

In a single move, three hundred people were wiped out!

Black smoke rose up into the sky, spreading over a thousand yards. No one could clearly see which Emperor was behind this thick black smoke.

But considering the power of this single move, the Demon Clan Emperor here must undoubtedly surpass the Snake Emperor and Golden Emperor by far!

In other words, if the Demon Emperor here was displeased or unhappy, perhaps Yuezhou City might experience another demon wave!

A chilling male voice once again echoed through the air: “You few, clean up my doorstep! If even a trace of blood is left, I will wipe out all three of your sects tomorrow!”

The eight surviving disciples from the three sects swayed a bit. They were relieved that they had survived. Sitting down on the ground, they lowered their heads, retching uncontrollably. While tears flowed down their cheeks, they dared not make a sound.

Black smoke continued to diffuse and spread in the sky.

The voice of the Cat Emperor echoed throughout Yuezhou City.

“I proclaim to all of Yuezhou: I will be staying here. I’ve rented a house and will stay for a few days. The courtyard is large with many empty rooms. If anyone wants to live here, you can come and negotiate with me.”

Having said this, the dense black smoke in all directions roared and quickly gathered, wrapping around the body of the Cat Emperor as it slowly descended back into the courtyard, disappearing from view.

Outside, the eight apprentices from the three sects were frantically cleaning up, collecting the bodies.

They must clean up this place before tomorrow, or else the demise of the three sects will be imminent!

No one doubted whether or not the Demon Emperor had the ability to destroy the Thick Earth Sect and the other two sects anymore. It would only be a small task – easily accomplished. Why doubt at all?

Blood flowed down the road in front of the gate, melting the accumulated snow and forming a small stream.

The entire Yuezhou City fell eerily silent.

Although the Cat Emperor said that there were many empty rooms and that anyone willing to stay could come and negotiate with him, and no one would be refused…

But…

Who would dare to negotiate?

Was the lesson of the three major sects not enough?

After this incident, the entire street and several hundred meters around it probably became a restricted area!

The people of Yuezhou City are now terrified, fearing that if the Demon Emperor is unhappy, there might be another demon wave!

“…What awful luck!”

Ximen Qianqiu repeatedly shook his head: “The people of the Thick Earth Sect and the other two sects really have the worst luck… There are millions of people in Yuezhou City. They had to offend the one they couldn’t afford to… Now look what happened. There’s no need to see a doctor now. They all went hand in hand to hell. At least they won’t be lonely, they’ll have company on the other side – that’s pretty bold!”

Nangong Xue was also quite frightened.

If she were in the shoes of the elder of the Thick Earth Sect, she would probably be facing the same fate.

Her face went pale. “The Six Paths Immortals Sect… The things they did really can only be done by immortals. They trespassed on the Demon Emperor’s property! How dare they act in this manner unless they are immortals themselves?”

As they were speaking, they both felt that something was not quite right.

Why was Beigong Wang not saying anything?

Turning their heads, they saw Beigong Wang still as a statue and as pale as a ghost. He was sweating profusely, each droplet the size of a soybean visible to the naked eye. Even his eyes were petrified.

“Hey, Beigong, what’s the matter? You didn’t lose anyone, why are you so scared?” Ximen Qianqiu asked with a look of disbelief.

He and Beigong Wang both belonged to the same kind of people who didn’t have long to live. They had a lot in common, naturally.

Beigong Wang’s eyes finally moved and he got his bearings again. “Nothing! Who wouldn’t be shocked by witnessing such an unprecedented, divine power at close range?”

As he spoke, he stumbled as if he was about to fall. Thanks to Ximen Qianqiu catching him, Beigong Wang didn’t tumble down the stairs.

“Weird, what’s wrong with this old man?” Nangong Xue looked puzzled. “Those three sects didn’t go over there at your instigation, did they?”

“No!”

Beigong Wang refuted vehemently: “Definitely not!”

“If not, then not. Why are you so agitated?”

Both of them rolled their eyes at him.

Beigong Wang was visibly shivering from head to toe.

They asked what he was afraid of?

You guys don’t know! If you had the same problem as me, you would be even more scared than I am!

Rumors spread easily, but it’s hard to clear one’s name. It could cost lives!

The Six Paths Immortals only tried to capture the Demon Emperor’s house… but my family’s bunch wanted to turn the Demon Emperor into a concubine!.

This is just…

Right now, I’m alive purely because of that Demon Emperor outside, who’s quite merciful. Indeed, female Demon Emperors are generally kinder…

If she was anything like the one inside the city, I wouldn’t have to worry about treating any illness…

It’s a miracle that… so many of Beigong Family’s group have managed to survive!

This territory of Yuezhou City is terrifying.

With these thoughts in mind, he made up his mind: when I get back to the inn, I must give good medicine to the four disabled people. They must survive, at least until they get back to the Beigong Family…

Otherwise, they might be taken out of the picture on a whim, and that would be a grave injustice…

On one side, Nangong Xue and Ximen Qianqiu exchanged glances, sensing that something was off with Beigong Wang!

There must be something going on here!

Even though that old guy refuses to talk, there’s nothing stopping me from asking around!

When so many members of the Beigong family show up… How could they all keep their mouths shut?

Could it be a juicy piece of gossip?

…

Over there.

Elder Dong from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace had cold sweat dripping from the tip of his nose.

Because he had just said: If we are many and powerful, we should not lose this man.

Now, all those who couldn’t afford to lose were dead.

If it were him, would the result be any different?

This isn’t a question, it’s a certainty, beyond doubt!

He wiped the sweat off his face, and forced a laugh at the elder of the Absolute Sword Devil Palace: “Hehe… hehe…”

The elder of the Absolute Sword Devil Palace, thin and full of mockery, chuckled: “It seems I heard…”

“Jiang Changhai!”

This elder Dong blushed, yelling: “Shut up!”

“Hehehe…”

Jiang Changhai mocked, with Elder Dong blushing.

“It seems that Elder Dong definitely can’t afford to lose this person, just like them…” Jiang Changhai drew out his words.

Elder Dong reddened: “I can afford it!”

“No, you can’t! If it was you leading, you’d be the one lying there now.” Jiang Changhai said.

Elder Dong wanted to argue back, but there was no room for counterargument.

If it were him, the outcome wouldn’t change.

Although he considered himself stronger than the Thick Earth Sect Elder, the unknown Demon Emperor was so terrifying that he wasn’t sure he could escape unharmed from her indiscriminate attacks.

What’s more, judging from the few youngsters left at the Six Immortals, the enemy could even withhold their killing blows, precisely controlling every move — which was even more terrifying!

“Jiang Changhai, what about you?” He challenged.

“Me?”

Jiang Changhai smirked: “In Yuezhou City, the only people I can’t bully are just about five.”

“Aside from these few, there are tens of millions of people in this territory I can bully. Why would I do something so stupid?”

Jiang Changhai said: “If it were me, and I couldn’t gauge the other party’s strength, and they were being so stubborn, even after I show my identity… I would turn around and leave. Caution is the only way to ensure survival. It’s a matter of life.”

“Go find someone I can bully, why take unnecessary risks.”

“In any case, I wouldn’t fight this person for a house.”

“Even if I could win, I wouldn’t.”

“There are too many houses that can be taken effortlessly, why bother with a tough unknown?”

Jiang Changhai said.

“So this is how your Devil Palace conducts itself, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Hardly anyone in the martial world speaks well of you.”

Elder Dong retorted.

“What else should we call ourselves, but the Devil Palace?”

Jiang Changhai said calmly: “Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, avoiding harm and seeking benefits, are all human nature. What is the righteous way? What is the devil’s way? Is it righteous to rather die than submit? Is it righteous to fight the strong? If we strategically retreat when faced with a powerful enemy, are we the Devil clan? Is death preferable to a life of fear? Do we have to risk our lives to be heroes?”

Elder Dong stared: “You’re twisting the truth!”

“Dong Tiesong, I didn’t expect you to still not understand the nature of the martial world at your age. If you weren’t from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, with this talisman to protect you, you would’ve died somewhere long ago!”

Jiang Changhai sneered, looking somewhat bitter, and pointed to the bloody place: “This current issue, it’s not that I’m criticizing after the event, it’s just that I’ve experienced something similar when I was young. At that time, I was at the Heavenly Level three, a genuinely gifted talent.”

“I happened to meet an old man. I have a good nose by nature, and it comes in handy for identifying things. I smelled a unique fragrance of jade snow lingzhi on the old man, so I wanted to buy it. The old man refused to sell it several times, but I insisted on buying it…”

“So, what happened?” Dong Tiesong asked.

“The result… hehehe…”

Jiang Changhai said with regret: “The result was, although my cultivation has always been advancing, the toxic power latent in my body, has always existed! It grew with my blood and cultivation, until now, when I seem to be close to Cloud Top. But the poison has evolved to constrain my cultivation, my bloodline, and my soul. I can no longer progress… Hence… as you see now, I also have come to Yuezhou!”
