Episode 116

  Millions of mountains and rivers, the land of peach blossoms, is called Xinglin. At that time, the peach trees were full of fresh peaches, but there was no one to pick them. It turned out that this thousand-mile land had been plagued by storms of blood and terror that are difficult to describe.

  The mountain still pierced the clouds, its black body captivating the soul. It was under that cliff, by the creek, where a tall figure stood, gazing at the fiery glow on the horizon, without uttering a word. Behind him, several others followed, whispering among themselves, not daring to speak up. An hour had passed, and one of them, slightly older, slowly stepped forward, speaking in a low voice:

  "Marquis Xiao and Marquis Wen have sent another letter, instructing us not to kill the cultivators who enter the inner sect, and even those who are outside must be thoroughly investigated, and the ignorant ones will not be pursued!"

  That dust-like figure stood quietly, not speaking. The crowd of cultivators looked at the dozen or so cultivators who had fallen to the ground, their fresh blood flowing into the creek, which was now half red, and flowed downstream.

  Young master, ………

  The elder was about to speak again when the young master waved his hand and said:

  "Take this place and then go to Yingjiling."

  "Yes! Young master."

  The crowd responded in unison and rose up, riding on clouds as they went their way.

  "It's just a minor issue, ………"

  "Nonsense!"

  The young master snorted, stretched out his hand, and a silver light flashed by. The young man's good head fell off with a loud crash, along with his body falling from the clouds. The cultivators in the sky were shocked and lost their color, none of them dared to speak, and they tightly followed him as he flew away.

  At the lord's manor.

  "Don't you still obey orders?"

  "Yes! The one who came to report earlier was too eager to kill. He even beheaded the cultivators who entered together, and almost cut off all communication between inside and outside, making it impossible for any cultivator to come or go!"

  "After experiencing great hardships, his temperament underwent a huge change. He heard that the ten major sects' followers were fond of killing and only felt pleasure afterwards. Don't try to restrain him too much, let him slaughter as he pleases!"

  "He's afraid that he'll kill too many people and ruin the whole plan!"

  "It doesn't matter, if they don't die of old age and take action, I know their father will never just sit back and watch!"

  "Should we let him slaughter then? But it's said that the number of people he has killed is enormous, and even his subordinates don't dare to dissuade him!"

  "Hahaha! What's up?"

  The tenth floor of the Grand Alliance Building, inside a tall tower, on the ninth floor, the leaders of the ten sects gathered together.

  "Today, the number of missing disciples within our alliance is too high, far exceeding previous times. Does anyone have any leads?"

  "The killer is a hidden current."

  "My Yeezy brand has been hacked the most, although I've tried my best to investigate, but their methods are vicious and efficient, and there's nothing to be gained."

  "The entrance and exit of our Ten Great Sects' passage seems to have been blocked by someone, with many casualties among the cultivators who enter and exit. Recently, several batches of our allied sect's cultivators have gone missing, only a few from the Haitian Pavilion escaped, reportedly due to the doing of a hidden cultivator named Zhi Fei, the young master."

  "Tianzun has given an order for us to form a law enforcement team to investigate this matter. Does anyone have any candidates to lead this team?"

  "In the following, I recommend Ben Lei and Feng Ming Er Xi."

  "Hmm, these two are pretty good."

  "But it's said that they don't get along, if both of them take office at the same time, I'm afraid they won't be able to work together in harmony!"

  "With an elder sitting in town, it's settled."

  "That's reasonable too."

  Then everyone chatted about other things, and gradually refocused on the Array Puppet and the mysterious Great Array. The disciples of Yi Xiu Men hastily retreated in anger, and the remaining cultivators also retreated in a hurry.

  Thus, the southeastern corner of the ancient continent was at this time a place of intense killing and bloodshed, where all practitioners lived in turmoil amidst wind and rain. The various sects of cultivators were also on the eve of a great storm.

  In the prison of the Immortal's Cage, Chang'e said:

  "Insufficient brother, I'm afraid the situation is far from good!"

  "Oh? What's going on?"

  "Recently, massacres have occurred frequently, with over a thousand people killed or injured. The terror of slaughter has spread far and wide, and the hearts of people outside are filled with fear!"

  "Did over a thousand people die in the Ten Great Sects Alliance's battle?"

  "Yes, it's not enough for elder brother. In my opinion, I'm afraid all the dead are affected by the formation of the nucleus!"

  "Hearing this, it's as if the entire sect is being slaughtered like chickens and dogs, yet the higher-ups of the sect seem completely unaffected?"

  "I thought the death of Men Zhongzi was a result of the conspiracy between the high-ranking officials and the underworld!"

  "Chang'e, why do you say this?"

  "It's rumored that the Dark Flow is also involved in the move to silence people, and the deaths and disappearances of disciples within the allied sects are not isolated incidents, but rather related to this matter. Moreover, I have some shocking news about a loose cultivator that has just arrived..."

  "What news of Ye Xiu?"

  "Yes! Insufficient elder brother, have you ever heard of the meeting at Yishu Island?"

  "I've heard a little about it. But isn't it just a fairy repair market? Why such astonishing views?"

  "Wangfu Island, except for one person who escaped, all of the thousand or so people were killed."

  "Chang Er, what about this matter......?"

  Insufficient to hear the words, stunned in the local area, looking at the husband's island and wilderness repair of the wonderful land. Normally not with the door threshold repair communication, and what comes out is very poor and barren, also no other repair what to expect! However, if Chang Er's rumor is true, then this matter's shocking heaven will be the most in the repair boundary! Why? With Ye Repair's repair as, high not exceeding condensation, mostly not exceeding the law body's boundary, if like Chang Er said, over a thousand times of difficulty, then the ancient mainland's giant door threshold must shake and come here, when the time blood flesh flies horizontally, the repair boundary's difficulty is imminent!

  "Not enough brother, I'm afraid Yixiu Men will make a big move soon."

  "Yes! If this event is related to the Taichu Array and the Array Core Puppet, then a certain family's calamity will be imminent!"

  "Inadequate brother, I thought you would be even more cautious at this time. Firstly, secretly and in conjunction with the various factions of the alliance, they have all made a move to eliminate the cultivators related to the puppet nucleus, indicating that all parties want to seal off this news within the smallest possible range to prevent leaks. Why is that? It's because they all desire to obtain the puppet's heart so strongly. Secondly, perhaps the various factions have already figured out the secret of the Broken Sky Array or have guessed its wonders, and therefore all want to take it for themselves. From this perspective, we are actually safer!"

  "Chang'er's words are reasonable. For over a decade, Chang'er has been practicing her magical powers outside and even Hui Xin has greatly improved, with remarkable calculations!"

  "Insufficient brother is even more extraordinary, the initial great formation is too profound, it's said to have been passed down from ancient times, its mysterious and unmatched, but was reorganized by brother, just this one achievement, earned the title of Array Master. And within this Sealed Immortal Prison, he cultivated to recognize the divine, and the divine can be contained in his body, just this one thing, I'm afraid it's already unprecedented and unmatched by anyone before or after!"

  "Chang'er, this time when we go out, I will first cast the law body. In this way, you can ride on the colored clouds and fight against the others who cultivate. Recognize the divine and go out for thousands of miles, condense and gather to attack and kill hundreds of miles."

  "The younger brother's cultivation is greatly unusual, only seen by Chang'er, and it seems that it cannot be measured by common sense. Even ordinary cultivation methods are unable to help. Therefore, one should carefully ponder and proceed with caution, as a single misstep may lead to... disaster on the path of cultivation."

  "But one family is not afraid! Cultivating all methods, different paths same return. Chang'er, you'd better not be lazy again, solidly cultivate, and when the time comes to rise strongly, you will surely hold your head high with pride."

  "Even if I have shortcomings, my elder brother makes up for them; what need is there to mention raising an eyebrow or exhaling?"

  "Chang Er, don't make excuses for your laziness! The great way is pursued only by those who are constant. Remember these words carefully."

  "Alright, not enough for brother."

  Chang'er smiled slightly and said.

  "You go and gather information, then we'll make plans again. If things go as expected, I'm afraid there will be new movements within the sect."

  "Yes, indeed. Unfortunately, even a true immortal like me doesn't know what the higher-ups want, they just assign tasks to us without any explanation."

  "Where is Gao Wuyou going?"

  "He picked out a few elite from the gate, secretly assassinating his master. Several major cases in the gate were likely done by this person. The death of Husband Island's Yu, is probably also related to the secret assassination team formed by the alliance of various factions."

  "It seems that the hidden and allied factions have also lost their patience! If they can't get what they want through infighting, they will secretly join hands, using each other to rise to the surface. At that time, a certain family will become their bargaining chip, with life and death hanging in the balance!"

  "Not enough, brother."

  Chang'er gazed at him, her brow furrowed in concern, her intestines twisted with worry, and a faint pain arose in her heart. However, she couldn't lend a hand, and the other methods were numerous but useless. She wanted to help him cultivate, but his insufficient cultivation method was vastly different from demonic cultivation, and even compared to human cultivation, it was extremely unusual, making it impossible for her to assist. Thinking about how she, as the supreme being in the mortal realm, couldn't help the person she loved, a nameless bitter feeling surged up in her heart.
