351. Chapter 346: Longyuan's Proxy Suddenly Betrays
The location of Tiānyá City in the Primordial Spirit Realm was shrouded in black clouds that blotted out the sun, with myriad ghosts wailing and killing intent spreading everywhere, as if the netherworld's ghostly palace had descended.
The righteous and demonic cultivators watching the cultivators at the edge of the battlefield all had their minds ringing with thunder, those terrifying cultivators each holding a Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the cultivators so shocked their eyeballs seemed about to fall to the ground.
The cultivators of the Longyuan Stand-in had just been fighting alongside them.
Now they were all surrounded by ghostly aura, the black sails in their hands surging forth countless fierce ghosts, screaming shrilly at them, as if once the cord in the Longyuan Stand-in cultivators' hands loosened, the fierce ghosts could tear them to shreds.
Fuyang Sect's Feng Xiangtian stared at the entire battlefield and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale without a trace of color.
He had taken it upon himself since childhood to eradicate demons and monsters, never expecting to be tricked by the demonic path.
By now, the disciples of the Fuyang Sect had suffered losses to the point of utter annihilation.
The cultivators of the entire Fuyang Sect had only him left surviving, his Golden Sun Dharma Aspect exploding behind him, leaving him utterly spent like a crossbow at the end of its bolt.
Feng Xiangtian's eyes were about to split.
He had sincerely regarded those cultivators of the Longyuan Stand-in holding black sails as fellow righteous cultivators.
Now they were all holding black sails and attacking the righteous path, sealing off every route of survival on the battlefield.
"You guys are good—"
Feng Xiangtian's words reached his lips before he spat out another mouthful of blood, his whole body swiftly falling toward the ground.
"The evil heretics' methods are vile; righteous cultivators will never let it rest."
Chu Wansian's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins as she spoke unwillingly.
Behind her, the Divine King Golden Hall Dharma Aspect shattered, her own person was ragged and tattered, patches of skin stained red with blood and exposed, giving off the aura of a mighty female war goddess.
Sun Zhenbang heard the words and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he mocked.
"Not willing to let it rest—what of it?
The righteous cultivators will only think the Slaughter Ghost Sect killed you.
Even if you seek revenge, you won't find us."
As Sun Zhenbang's words fell, Chu Wansian's heart felt as if struck by a giant hammer, her eyes suddenly widened, her face twisting.
"Despicable and shameless."
Chu Wansian protected the female disciples of the Bibo Palace behind her, her whole body's aura suppressing the trembling.
Xie Yixuan heard the words and stepped forward, ghostly aura coiling behind him.
"In the Huanyu cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak, the mighty bully the feeble.
Longyuan has an evil master seated, upholding the purest and most benevolent heart, wishing to create a free, harmonious, civilized world for all beings in Huanyu.
Cultivators and commoners can coexist in peace, Huanyu achieves great unity.
You people don't understand."
Xie Yixuan said.
The boundless ghostly aura from his Ten Thousand Soul Banner turned into black chains filling heaven and earth, forming a dark net of the underworld that went to ensnare Chu Wansian.
This woman possesses extraordinary strength; if captured and brought back to the Great Mercy Stronghold for brainwashing, she could be of great use to Earth.
"Arrogant."
Chu Wansian's body was surrounded by golden light, wanting to dodge but discovering her fellow sect members behind her pierced through the chest by black ropes, she could only not dodge and hard-resist the power of the underworld net's chains.
She was already severely injured, and now she was utterly spent like a crossbow at the end of its bolt.
Zhou Zheng of the Slaughter Ghost Sect stared at the battlefield, his whole body numb.
After this incident, the news of the Slaughter Ghost Sect killing righteous cultivators will surely spread throughout the Primordial Spirit Realm, from the Dajiang south to north.
The Slaughter Ghost Sect will surely be besieged by the righteous cultivators of Huanyu.
The chief culprits are those cultivators around holding black sails.
Upon thinking this, Zhou Zheng felt a chill run down his spine.
In the Huanyu cultivation realm, there actually exist those using the same Dharma Implements as them, this is simply a premeditated scheme against the Slaughter Ghost Sect.
"Zhou Zheng, you know the Slaughter Ghost Sect's punishment for sect waste.
If you surrender, we will surely reuse you.
The evil master rewards based on merit and virtue, he will not bury your talent.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Soul Banners in our hands, you can also possess."
Zhao Jianhua said temptingly.
The Slaughter Ghost Sect disciples behind Zhou Zheng heard Zhao Jianhua's words, and a cultivator spoke cautiously.
"Senior Brother Zhou, if the Slaughter Ghost Sect suffers such losses and we return like this.
We will all become nourishment for the Holy Infant Banner.
Rather than"
Zhou Zheng heard his companion's words, he lifted his head and glanced at Zhao Jianhua.
She then suddenly gritted her teeth and said.
"We we are willing to follow.
But you must ensure my brothers' safety.
Otherwise, even if we perish together and the net breaks, we will not let it rest."
Zhao Jianhua heard the words and nodded in agreement.
He then took out a human pet bag, opened the bag mouth facing Zhou Zheng and the other cultivators, and said:
"Surrender your resistance."
Zhou Zheng and the other Slaughter Ghost Sect disciples then discovered that the mysterious runes on the black bag flashed with holy light, a terrifying suction suddenly fell upon their bodies, their Spiritual Power was sealed, their bodies rapidly shrank and floated toward the human pet bag.
"And you?"
Wu Zhenhao asked the other evil sect disciples.
Above his head, hundreds of thousands of resentful souls on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner wailed, as if he were in the midst of a ghost sea, causing all evil sect cultivators to break out in cold sweat.
"If you do not surrender, you will become resentful souls within my Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which has long been starving and thirsting."
Wu Zhenhao saw many evil sect disciples hesitating.
Behind him, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner suddenly blazed with scorching flames, and hundreds of thousands of fierce ghosts glowed with a faint light, staring intently at the evil sect cultivators.
Many evil sect cultivators trembled uncontrollably, struggling to swallow their saliva.
They saw many familiar faces among them—friends and foes alike—now reduced to resentful souls within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
"I, I am willing to surrender."
A female disciple in the Desire Heart Cave lay limp on the ground, speaking in terror.
As her words fell, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest—countless evil sect cultivators promptly surrendered.
Wu Zhenhao nodded in satisfaction.
The cultivation of evil sect disciples is like raising gu poison—mutual devouring and slaughter among disciples is commonplace.
Even if they return after defeat, those severely injured will surely be abused by enemies within the sect, death is certain.
"Miao Yan, what about you?"
Wu Zhenhao looked toward Miao Yan, the leader of the Desire Heart Cave.
Miao Yan possesses formidable strength and has received the true transmission of the Desire Heart Cave; if she could be made use of, not only could she enrich the technique collection of the Great Magnetic Fortress's Hundred Treasures Pavilion,
but her unique methods could also cultivate many excellent female companions for the Great Magnetic Fortress, which would be highly advantageous for luring male cultivators from the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Miao Yan revealed a faint bitter smile.
I thought the disciple of the Slaughter Ghost Sect I had taken a liking to was a fellow traveler, never expecting he came from a mysterious force, Longyuan.
This made her heart feel extremely complicated.
He glanced at many fellow disciples in the Desire Heart Cave and sighed helplessly.
The Desire Heart Cave is fiercely competitive; female cultivators often become playthings of elders and powerful cultivators, and these companions who followed are trusted confidants protected wholeheartedly—we must plan a way out for them.
"This seat is willing to surrender."
Miao Yan spoke mournfully.
Wu Zhenhao felt a surge of joy upon seeing this.
He produced the human pet pouch, its surface flashing with mysterious runes that emitted a terrifying suction, drawing in all the cultivators of the Desire Heart Cave and others.
Xie Yixuan glanced around at the nearby surrendering evil and righteous sect cultivators, exchanging a look with Zhao Jianhua.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner rustled, dark winds gusting in waves, as wandering souls and wild ghosts swiftly lunged toward those cultivators.
In an instant, countless souls were pulled from the bodies of those righteous and evil cultivators.
Having lost their souls, the bodies of righteous and evil cultivators alike plunged into the bottomless abyss, slowly disintegrating and vanishing in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Sun Zhenbang saw the righteous and evil cultivators disappear, then used the penguin transmission jade slip to send messages to nearby earth cultivators.
The earth cultivators responsible for guarding the secrecy of the news all gathered toward the center, earth cultivators clustering together, and a yellow weasel flew out from the deep pit.
The yellow weasel demon king Huang Daxian gazed upon all the cultivators present, his face full of excitement.
"Whether human pets or cultivators' storage bags, they are all abundantly rich.
As long as they are brought back to the Great Mercy Fortress, they can solve the resource needs of earth cultivators and also yield tens of thousands of human pets.
This battle between the righteous and evil sects has been extremely worthwhile."
The yellow weasel demon king spoke happily.
Sun Zhenbang heard this and chuckled.
"It has only just begun; I have already sent messages to all earth cultivators earlier.
Spreading the news that the evil sect slaughtered and captured one hundred righteous sect cultivators from Tianya City.
Soon, the righteous sect will receive the news and seek verification.
The righteous sect will surely seek revenge against the evil sect for the sake of face and the safety of their disciples.
We can continue to reap the benefits as the fisherman."
Sun Zhenhao said this, his heart burning with fervor.
The Primordial Spirit Realm was excavated by the major sects of Huanyu from the cosmos, and only two years have passed.
If the righteous and evil sects were to launch a full-scale decisive battle, earth cultivators would seize the opportunity to emerge, and the Primordial Spirit Realm would fall into the hands of earth cultivators, allowing them to seize substantial resources from both sects, rapidly strengthen their power, and respond to future crises on Earth.
"Haha, excellent.
Even before surrounding the cultivators present, some cultivators had already fled and sent messages.
The news of Longyuan's proxy fighting will also spread accordingly.
Huanyu cultivators who use Longyuan's proxy fighting will only increase in number.
This is highly advantageous for earth cultivators."
Zhao Jianhua also spoke happily.
"Xie Yixuan is responsible for delivering the obtained human pets and resources to the Great Mercy Fortress.
First, train these human pets for subsequent use.
As the number of users of Longyuan's proxy fighting grows, these will serve as reserve forces."
Huang Daxian said.
Zhao Jianhua, Wu Zhenhao, and Sun Zhenbang also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Zhao Jianhua's penguin transmission jade slip emitted a ding-dong sound.
"Haha, the reply message has arrived."
Zhao Jianhua saw it was a message from Duan Wuliang and spoke happily.
"Not good, Elder Zhao, Elder Wu."
"Now the entire Primordial Spirit Realm is spreading the news—evil sects have slaughtered many righteous cultivators, and even captured the direct disciples of various righteous sects."
"Is this really true?"
"On the Penguin Transmission Jade Slip, a voice filled with dread and shock echoed."
"Zhao Jianhua and Sun Zhenbang exchanged a glance."
"The speed at which earth cultivators spread news is astonishing—so little time has passed, yet Duan Wuliang has already caught wind of it."
"Wuliang, this is our opportunity—Gui Gui Sect will always stand behind you."
"Just now, the sect decided to let us reap the benefits from the fire."
"You can use this chance to promote yourselves to righteous cultivators seeking revenge against evil cultivators."
"Analyze the advantages of Longyuan Da Da."
"As long as someone places an order, a dedicated person will handle the processing."
"You just need to steadily harvest the heavenly essence." Zhao Jianhua said gently.
"Duan Wuliang, on the other end of the Corporate Transmission Jade Slip, hearing Zhao Jianhua's words, let out a sound of relief."
"Elder Zhao, Elder Wu, you two must not betray me." Duan Wuliang said nervously.
"Rest assured." Zhao Jianhua continued to comfort.
"Wu Zhenghao, hearing Zhao Jianhua's voice and seeing Duan Wuliang no longer replying to messages, spoke openly."
"Are we being too wicked?"
"Duan Wuliang helps us promote and attract business."
"In the end, we will not only detain him but also seize all his wealth."
"Huang Daxian's mouth curled with a mocking tone:"
"A narrow mind makes no gentleman; without ruthness, no man."
"We all must become great tyrants—let him board our pirate ship completely."
"As everyone followed the discussed plan and left the battlefield, the entire Primordial Spirit Realm began to stir."
"The Yinyu Pavilion in Huanyu City is the most prosperous restaurant in Huanyu City."
"Countless cultivators discussed heatedly, all speaking of events in Tianya City."
"Have you heard?"
"The righteous sect suffered a great loss in Tianya City."
"The top ten sects of Huanyu lost to the top ten evil cultivators of Huanyu, suffering heavy losses."
"Even heavenly prodigies like Feng Xiangtian and Long Yutian from within the sects were captured alive."
"For thousands of years, the righteous sects have suppressed the evil sects—this time, they were fiercely bitten back by the evil sects—truly unexpected."
"A cultivator spoke cautiously, and many cultivators gathered around."
"Another cultivator also spoke carefully: 'You surely don't know yet—even Bibo Palace's Storage Wanxian Fairy has been seized by the evil sects.'"
"That is my dream goddess in my dreams—what a sin." A Huanyu cultivator, upon hearing this, cried out in sorrow.
"Fellow Daoists, where did you hear these messages?" A cultivator wearing golden robes asked.
"Unsatisfied fellow Daoist, we belong to the Longyuan Da Da organization. In the righteous-evil sect war, sect elders participated."
"The news was precisely leaked by the elders the sect retrieved."
"You don't know how tragic it was—Longyuan Da Da sent over a hundred cultivators, only seven elders returned."
"If not for them being Great Perfection cultivators of the Earth Origin Realm and holding secret artifacts, they would have been in danger too."
"The two cultivators continued speaking, with the characters 'Longyuan' marked on their chests."
"In a bustling tavern in Luoshui City, the same scene unfolded."
"You don't know how powerful the Holy Infant Banner of Gui Gui Sect is."
"In the righteous-evil sect war, when the Holy Infant Banner's master soul emerged, its fierce roar shook the righteous cultivators of Huanyu, causing them to collapse instantly—blood flowed like rivers as Gui Gui Sect slaughtered them."
"Is what the fellow Daoist said true?" At that moment, a man in blue clothes approached the earth cultivator, his face stern as he asked.
"Seeing the person gathering information, the surrounding cultivators were startled."
"Isn't this a disciple of Fenglei Pavilion?"
"Fenglei Pavilion is one of the top ten righteous forces of Huanyu, mastering wind and thunder power—each disciple is extraordinarily fierce."
"What is your esteemed name, fellow Daoist?" The earth cultivator, hearing the discussion, had his eyes gleam smoothly—he hadn't expected spreading news to catch a big fish, so he asked carefully.
"Fenglei Pavilion, Lei Yao."
"Huanyu cultivators who knew of Fenglei Pavilion were shocked."
"Fenglei Pavilion is jointly led by two surnames."
"The Lei surname holds the sect leadership, responsible for Fenglei Pavilion's safety."
"The Feng surname is the sect leader's wife's lineage, controlling Fenglei Pavilion's resources."
"The earth cultivator, hearing the discussion, spoke angrily:"
"So it's Daoist Lei."
"Longyuan Da Da invited righteous cultivators to go to Tianya City to fight evil forces, to exterminate demons and uphold the Dao."
"Who would have thought the losses would be so heavy—this is what the returning sect elders brought back."
"Hateful evil sect—Longyuan Da Da will have no rest until they are destroyed."
"Lei Yao, hearing the earth cultivator's words, approvingly patted his shoulder:"
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist—exterminating demons and upholding the Dao is the duty of the righteous sect."
"I will now report to the sect."
After Lei Yao finished speaking, he quickly left this place. (End of chapter)
