Episode 113
Nanjing City in the south of the capital, the underground grand hall of Yipin Medical Hall is a hidden place.
At that time, dozens of cultivators stood quietly in the shadows, all with their faces covered and not speaking. After waiting for less than half a watch, a white light flashed outside the hall, followed by a soft hum, and one of the cultivators suddenly appeared. This person was also wearing a black hood to cover his face, and wore a long black robe that draped over his body. He stood still, gazing forward, his eyes revealing a cold glint, making people's hearts tremble. His hoarse voice suddenly spoke:
"You, the hunters of heaven, from now on, act in secret, only follow orders and do not ask about anything else. Personal contacts will change their tone, and they must not recognize each other. What is done, once it's over, even if it's a close friend or family member, cannot be spoken of outside. Otherwise, death without pardon!"
"Yes!"
"This kind of elixir is called 'Liu Shi', it was bestowed by the Emperor himself, one pill per person, take it immediately!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what to do. Because they didn't know the properties of the elixir, who dared to take it? After a brief pause, one of them asked:
"Sir, I don't know what this pill is for, what benefits will it bring if taken?"
Yi Xiu asked nervously.
"Ah!"
Suddenly a golden light descended from the sky, splitting the questioning Shu into two halves. The blood splattered and scattered, and then his two bodies fell to the ground, staining the earth with blood. A pungent smell filled the air, and the upper body of Shu glanced over and said:
"I've said it before, just follow orders and act, don't ask about anything else!"
The crowd was shocked and frightened, some wanted to escape! A few cultivators hastily swallowed the dan medicine that was floating beside them into their mouths. The rest of the cultivators saw this and didn't dare speak again, also swallowing it in the same way.
"Alright! After each task, there will be a 'Tai Xuan Dan' pill as a reward. With this jade token, the tasks are on it. Once an item is completed, it disappears and the next one appears."
Tai Xuan Dan! The crowd of cultivators heard the words and were overjoyed beyond measure. Tai Xuan Dan is a heavenly elixir that can reverse the heavens, assist in spiritual achievements, break through the bottleneck of spiritual achievements, and has earth-shocking abilities and astonishing effects! Only high-ranking elders in the sect who have made great contributions can receive this elixir as a reward, while others only hear its name but never get to see it. Even for the elders, it's only obtained once every few decades. The crowd of cultivators heard about Tai Xuan Dan and immediately put aside their previous fears, all focusing on the first task at hand.
"In Beast Valley, slaughter all the cultivators in the valley. Not a single person is allowed to escape. If they do, the mission will be considered a failure. Bring back the heads of the four Sky Hunt Killers as an apology!"
The crowd was shocked and frightened, but what is the Tai Xuan Dan? Such an opportunity cannot be missed! The crowd rushed out one after another, heading towards the Hundred Beasts Valley.
At the same time, in the other two places, the scene was also staged. The only difference was that the names of the two teams were different, one team was called the "Hunters of the Earth" and the other team was called the "Hunters of Man".
Hundred Beasts Valley
The valley is not large, with steep cliffs on three sides, like high walls surrounding it. The only path in and out has a low hill at the entrance. Inside the valley are several ancient trees, their branches and leaves sparse, rocky mountains... where can any beasts be found? Only the sounds of insects and birds can be heard. For the valley lacks water, all the grass and trees are withered, although it is summer, it appears like autumn.
At this time, there were over a hundred people in the valley, all of whom surrounded him and asked questions.
"Has Lord Pai of Chinese descent given an order for us to gather and attack Yishanmen? Is this matter true?"
"Alas! I'm telling you, elder brother, I've heard that our gathering has been detected in several places, and the higher-ups have probably taken action already. This battle is likely to be quite large-scale, with years of cultivation, I've never seen such a scene before. Just thinking about it, tens of thousands of cultivators gathered together casting spells, the grandeur of the formation is truly something to look forward to!"
"Yi Xiu Men is not someone to be trifled with, we must be careful! No matter what, our lives are at stake, losing one's life means everything is over."
"Hmm! These words are also correct! However, the Yixiu Gate's heritage is long-standing, and the treasures within are countless. Obtaining just one of them would allow you to ascend to the pinnacle of cultivation and leave a lasting name in the realm!"
"Little brother, treasure is good but one must have life to enjoy it!"
Suddenly a loud shout rang out:
"Who comes?"
"Oh no! Something's wrong! The enemy is attacking! Send out a signal! The enemy is attacking!"
"Kill!"
"Who are you? Ah!"
In an instant, under the flashing knives and swords, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Thirty to fifty cultivators had their lives cut short like withered grass in a split second. The remaining cultivators were shocked awake by this scene.
"Charge! Everyone, let's go and fight it out with the enemy!"
"What should we do, Old Yu?"
"Junior brother, something's amiss! I feel like there are several familiar auras among the cultivators here. Could it be that an unexpected change has occurred within our sect?"
"Oh no! Brother Yu, they're coming, think of a solution quickly!"
"Run! Quick, look up and run!"
The two cultivators hesitated for a moment, then suddenly charged into the air and flew towards one side of the cliff. They were about to cross over the cliff in just over a hundred feet, and outside the cliff was a dense forest, where they could escape and possibly get away. Suddenly, the two of them stopped and looked up at the sky in unison. At the same time, more than ten cultivators who had also flown into the air to escape were blocked by a barrier of forbidden airspace. The barrier emitted a bloody glow, and those who touched it fell dead, their mournful cries unending.
"This is terrible! This great law prohibits it. They are going to slaughter and kill them all!"
Erxiu didn't dare to stay for a moment, hastily turned his head and went back on his way, facing Erxiu's flying sword coming to take him.
"An Lao Er, we are from the same school, how can we harm each other?"
The surname Na Yu's repair and compression of low-pitched sounds is called the way of the coming generation.
One of them charged forward, hesitated for a moment, and then without saying a word, directly swung his sword to kill.
"It's really you! An Lao Er, I have known your elder brother for over a hundred years, and once saved his life. We are as close as brothers, how can you ignore our relationship and kill me!"
His eyes seemed slightly dazed, but suddenly a sharp light flashed out, and he swung his sword upwards.
"Brother Yu, save me! Ah! .........."
That year, a young man let out a mournful cry, falling straight down from several hundred feet in the air, smashing into the ground, nearly becoming a pile of minced meat, his soul dispersing and his body destroyed.
"Junior brother! You wait... you wait... I'll fight it out with these rebels!"
Yu Xing's cultivator saw that the same sect's killing and beheading were so fierce, knowing he couldn't escape, so he gritted his teeth and charged forward with his sword. The surrounding cultivators also had several more come to attack, Yu Xing's cultivator was unable to withstand it. After barely holding on for a moment, he suddenly fell back onto the ground amidst the battle group. The cultivators in mid-air exerted their strength to pursue and kill him. When they arrived at the ground, however, they couldn't find that cultivator anywhere.
"Search carefully, don't miss one person!"
One of the cultivators with a hoarse voice gave an order. The surrounding masked cultivators closed in, more than ten of them wielding knives, guns, swords, and halberds, inspecting each corpse before leaving. Several cultivators were still not dead, but the masked cultivators did not frown, simply finishing them off with one knife after another.
As they were counting the miscellaneous Chen, the corpses were in disarray. Before they could even inspect them, one of the corpses suddenly sprang up and attacked, and a masked monk was caught off guard, stabbed to death.
"Surround them! Kill them!"
The crowd rushed forward, and in an instant, ten or so swords pierced his body. The cultivator's entire being was like a beehive, with no whole part left. A head flew off to the side, eyes wide open, staring deathly still! A cultivator surnamed An who followed closely behind was carefully examining the fallen head, and saw that it was indeed the face of the cultivator surnamed Yu. He couldn't help but look disheartened.
At this time, both the hunters of the land and the hunters of men were also trapped in a desperate situation, slaughtered to extinction, with no survivors left.
In secret places, the Lord is present.
"The Lord of the Scripture, this time the crisis in the middle stage of the gate has been eliminated. There are still several high-ranking cultivators on the list who should not know this secret and need to be killed immediately. Otherwise, if it's delayed, changes will occur. After all, although this matter is a secret, it's hard to keep it from leaking."
"It's all over now!"
"Oh! How swift!"
"They were so powerful, as if they had the power to eliminate martial arts. The formation was too big, I've already arranged for someone to lure them to a banquet. At this time, their souls have probably dissipated! Only in my heart, there are still a few strands of unbearable thoughts!"
"Haha! Lord Wen, when there's something that must be done, why bother with the method!"
"Dragon Master, after that little guy Zhi Fan's soul returned, he received the order to besiege and capture the enemy cultivators. I wonder how it is going now?"
"With his father's backing, what could possibly go wrong?"
"That burden has fallen on his shoulders, I don't know how he'll manage?"
"Nothing else, just too much killing and slaughter!"
"Dragon Master, this person was recommended by you, if things are not handled properly, it's hard to justify!"
"The words of Lord Wen are indeed correct. However, since this son encountered difficulties, his temperament has greatly changed, becoming cruel and vicious, not like his father!"
"However, the rules we set cannot be changed! The slaughter is too heavy, I'm afraid it's not suitable."
"Hmm!"
