Chapter 222: Chapter 220: Yuanmu Valley

Rao Xiaofan summoned all the disciples and came before Yan Rufeng.

"Sect Master, all the disciples have assembled. Please give your instructions!"

Yan Rufeng brought out the Cosmic Battleship, opened the hatch door, and with hands clasped behind his back, raised his voice and said, "Disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sect, listen. This attack on the Lanshan Sect is primarily to intimidate other sects. Do not kill the innocent recklessly. Anyone willing to leave the Lanshan Sect, grant them a way out!"

"We will remember, please rest assured, Sect Master..."

"We will remember, please rest assured, Sect Master..."

The disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sect shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens. At Yan Rufeng’s command, everyone soared into the Cosmic Battleship.

The distance between the Dragon Abyss Sect and the Lanshan Sect was ten thousand kilometers, but with the Cosmic Battleship, it took just one second to arrive.

The Lanshan Sect had five experts at the Emergence Stage. Apart from the gray-clothed elder whom Yan Rufeng had taken into the Purple Mansion and killed, the entire sect still had four Emergence Stage experts.

Sect Master Jing Ping was at the mid Emergence Stage. The whole Lanshan Sect had eight thousand disciples at the Nascent Soul Stage as their backbone. Including the disciples at the Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, they totaled sixty thousand.

The disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sect, who flew out of the Cosmic Battleship, stood in mid-air, in neat formation, eyes like torches, standing majestically behind Yan Rufeng.

With hands clasped behind his back, Yan Rufeng performed a magic spell. A beam of light fell, and the Mountain Protection Array of the Lanshan Sect shattered with a bang.

No one in the Lanshan Sect thought they would be attacked. A lazy disciple said, "What’s happening? How did our Mountain Protection Array break without cause?"

"Who knows? Soon the Sect Master will go out to check. Let’s continue our cultivation..."

Yan Rufeng, standing in mid-air, whispered, "Hall Master Rao."

Rao Xiaofan bowed and said, "I am here!"

"You have one minute to bring their Sect Master of the Lanshan Sect before me!"

"As you command!"

A streak of light flashed, and Rao Xiaofan was already above the Sect Main Hall of the Lanshan Sect.

"Where is the Sect Master of the Lanshan Sect? Come out and meet your death!"

Rao Xiaofan’s voice resounded throughout the entire Lanshan Sect. Only then did they realize that the Mountain Protection Array had broken because they were under attack.

"Who are you, daring to invade the Lanshan Sect? Are you tired of living?"

Jing Ping roared and brought out his flying sword, attacking Rao Xiaofan.

"Clam up!"

Rao Xiaofan had just stepped into the Divine Separation Stage. As he made his move, he launched a domain attack—the Fire Domain!

It was well known that domain attacks covered a large area, with the Domain Master being the god of the domain world.

Caught within Rao Xiaofan’s Fire Domain, Jing Ping had no power to resist. If it weren’t for Yan Rufeng’s orders to capture the Sect Master of the Lanshan Sect alive, Jing Ping would have been reduced to ashes by now.

Having completed his task, Rao Xiaofan rose into the air and flew before Yan Rufeng, bowing, "Sect Master, the Sect Master of the Lanshan Sect, Jing Ping, is here."

"Let him out!"

Rao Xiaofan recited a magic spell. Immediately, Jing Ping, with tattered clothes and a gray face, floated before Yan Rufeng from within Rao Xiaofan’s Fire Domain.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking the Lanshan Sect?"

The terrified Jing Ping timidly asked Yan Rufeng!

"Heh heh!"

"Who!"

Yan Rufeng coldly said, "I am Yan Rufeng of the Dragon Abyss Sect."

"What?"

Terrified, Jing Ping said, "Impossible! Impossible! How can the Dragon Abyss Sect be so powerful? How could they have a Divine Separation Stage expert?"

"Nothing is impossible."

Yan Rufeng sternly said, "Jing Ping, you sent people to our Dragon Abyss Sect to extort Spirit Stones, intimidate our disciples, and boasted about wiping out our sect. Such crimes are unforgivable. You should execute yourself as atonement!"

"Ha ha..."

Jing Ping laughed loudly, "You think you can make me, Jing Ping, end my own life? How laughable. Shouldn’t low-level sects like yours pay tribute to the Lanshan Sect?"

"He’s beyond saving. Hall Master Rao, do it!"

Yan Rufeng waved his hand, signaling Rao Xiaofan to kill Jing Ping.

"As you command!"

"Wait!"

Jing Ping shouted.

"Yan Rufeng, though the Lanshan Sect cannot match the Dragon Abyss Sect, you should know that the Lanshan Sect belongs to Yuanmu Valley. Killing me, can your Dragon Abyss Sect withstand the wrath of Yuanmu Valley?"

Yan Rufeng smiled indifferently.

"Yuanmu Valley, excellent!"

Yan Rufeng then said, "After destroying your Lanshan Sect, the next stop is Yuanmu Valley."

"Ha ha..."

Jing Ping laughed.

"Go to Yuanmu Valley then. As soon as you do, prepare to be exterminated!"

"Ha ha..."

Laughing, Jing Ping suddenly glared at Yan Rufeng and his party, shouting angrily, "Even if I die, I won’t let you have it easy!"

A gust of wind blew past, and Jing Ping’s body began to swell, turning into a round ball with bulging capillaries like veins.

Rao Xiaofan shouted.

"Sect Master, not good, Jing Ping is trying to self-detonate!"

"Hmph!"

Yan Rufeng snorted coldly.

"Does he think self-detonation can harm us? He’s too confident!"

In the process of absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Energy for self-detonation, cultivators had no resistance. Jing Ping was naturally no exception. Yan Rufeng merely released a tiny trace of his Divine Sense and took Jing Ping into the Heavenly Court Space within his Purple Mansion.

In Yan Rufeng’s Heavenly Court Space, which was a world of its own, the expansive space ensured that Jing Ping’s self-detonation would not harm Yan Rufeng in the slightest. Jing Ping’s self-detonation there was like throwing a pebble into the ocean, causing not even a ripple.

With one hand behind his back, exuding an air of authority, Yan Rufeng said to Rao Xiaofan, "Subjugate the Lanshan Sect. Kill all who resist!"

"As you command..."

More than a thousand disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sect, over a thousand Divine Separation Stage experts, stood imposingly in the sky above the Lanshan Sect, exuding pressure.

The entire Lanshan Sect, all under the immense pressure of over a thousand Divine Separation Stage experts, were drenched in sweat, trembling uncontrollably, unable to move.

Rao Xiaofan’s loud voice echoed in the air.

"Disciples of the Lanshan Sect, your Sect Master Jing Ping offended our Dragon Abyss Sect and has been slain by our Sect Master. If you surrender and disband the sect, our Sect Master has said you can be spared!"

Cultivators should not seek fame or profit. To pursue the Dao wholeheartedly is the true path.

For cultivators wishing to join a sect, it matters not which sect they cultivate in. Joining a sect is a way to stay warm together. After all, on Canglong Star, governed by martial might, the chances of surviving as a lone warrior are extremely slim.

However, once cultivators join a sect and enjoy its benefits, they must, even at the cost of their lives, protect the interests and honor of that sect.

Currently, the disciples of the Lanshan Sect faced a dire choice: resisting meant death, but not resisting meant losing the most basic moral integrity. The disciples of the Lanshan Sect were now confronting the most difficult decision.

An elderly man, moving his lips, slowly said, "Our Sect Master is dead. For now, I speak for the Lanshan Sect. Please, allow me to discuss matters in detail with your Sect Master. Can you, esteemed ones, grant this old man this request!"
