And they were the evil-ridden Great Grandmasters of the Evil Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is well-known that it is hard to kill a Great Grandmaster of the Evil Sect; everyone in the Wuyou Sect knows how troublesome and terrifying they can be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they were easily killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan noticed her shock and said with a smile, “These two guys just stepped into the rank of Great Grandmasters, and they achieved it with external help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, “If they had time to familiarize themselves for another month or even just ten days or so, things would be different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Princely Heir’s words are extremely true,” Huang Cheng agreed, “Their mindset was still at the level of a Grandmaster, unable to fully utilize the power of a Great Grandmaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Haoran laughed, “Even so, being able to kill them so easily is indeed fortunate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was about to act, he was quite nervous, cautious, thinking about how to leave safely with the Princely Heir without risking his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil Sect demons, everyone who sees them should kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it comes to the Great Grandmasters of the Evil Sect, it’s different; it’s best not to think of killing them but rather how to escape whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best way to deal with a Great Grandmaster of the Evil Sect is to surround and attack them, using numbers to overwhelm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also didn’t expect it to be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fundamental reason was still Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t kill a Great Grandmaster, he could disrupt their spiritual power operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was stronger than an ordinary Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a Great Grandmaster faces another Great Grandmaster, their interference with spiritual power is not as strong as Chu Zhiyuan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the qualitative difference between Gang Qi and Spiritual Energy, he would have been able to kill a Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Prince is truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he steps into the rank of Great Grandmasters and advances from Gang Qi to Spiritual Energy, how terrifying would that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possibly becoming a Great Grandmaster killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Grandmasters…” Meng Canglan sighed softly, shook her head without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they indeed just stepped into the rank of Great Grandmasters, Spiritual Energy is not fake; when facing a Great Grandmaster, they are not without resistance, and that cannot be fake either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, when a Grandmaster faced a Great Grandmaster, they were always without resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He broke the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “With these two pests killed, the remaining ones shouldn’t be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the two corpses, approached, and with the tip of the Bright Moon Saber, gently lifted the clothes on their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of the blade quickly revealed two small statues, only palm-sized, like they were carved from jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a human figure with many legs, the other a three-eyed human figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body and face were those of a handsome middle-aged person, but the legs turned into eight legs, making it look like a spider at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three-eyed figure had three eyes; besides the two eyes, there was another eye at the position of the nose, which had moved downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face looked narrow and extremely frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of the blade tapped the multi-legged figure, “Is this from the Huaisu Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then tapped the three-eyed figure, “Is this from the Heavenly Heart Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan replied, “It should be like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan examined the two exquisitely carved statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were so lifelike, almost as if they could come to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan said, “Among them, the most notorious is the Heavenly Heart Sect, which our sect has been pursuing but can never completely eradicate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “It’s too easy for them to become Great Grandmasters, so it’s hard to kill them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masters of the Yuding Sect often have to kill members of the Imperial Family and devour their bloodlines to achieve the rank of Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not easy, as infiltrating the Inner City of Yujing is difficult, and they are strictly guarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Huaisu Sect can become Great Grandmasters through sacrifice alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a world of difference in difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to records within our sect,” Meng Canglan said, “it’s actually not so easy to perform the sacrifice; it requires the right time, place, and people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan’s thick eyebrows raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inspection Department truly had no knowledge of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan said, “So-called sacrifice requires everyone’s willingness, whether it’s the Heavenly Heart Sect or the Huaisu Sect, they need people to willingly participate, or it doesn’t count as a sacrifice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, “The latter group is considered willing, but the previous ones count too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mutilated bodies and bloodied remains looked brutal and cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that possibly be willing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan said, “The previous ones should count as well; otherwise, they couldn’t become Great Grandmasters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan frowned in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan said, “The Heavenly Heart Sect and Huaisu Sect’s demons can become a Grandmaster or reach other Realms by killing and devouring, but to become a Great Grandmaster, it requires sacrifice, people must willingly be killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhijia said, “Holy Daughter, I really don’t understand; who would willingly be killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said slowly, “Driven to desperation, worse than death, then they just want to die quickly to escape the pain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan nodded, “That’s probably it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “Those from the Heavenly Heart Sect, they probably saw illusions, which drove them to die so fervently… this must be a secret technique, borrowing mystical artifacts to use this secret technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on the multi-legged figure, thinking it was likely on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such mystical artifacts, he didn’t easily use Insight, to avoid being targeted by Outer Heaven Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intuition said it was this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan nodded, “Exactly so, the Heavenly Heart Sect is actually also called the Confusing Heart Sect, best at confusing minds, but to confuse over a thousand people is almost impossible, … even with a treasure it’s very hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “Then it must be due to the right timing, location, and human factors, using when people’s hearts were at their emptiest, coupled with assisting treasures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly kicked a huge green stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man-tall stone was kicked into the sky like a pebble, then fell down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” It crashed squarely onto the two exquisitely carved statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhijia frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt these statues could be used to trace the demons of both sects, using the sensing abilities of a Great Grandmaster, they should be able to track down disciples of both sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a shame to destroy them like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then sensibly closed his mouth, the Holy Daughter was present, surely she would have thought of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Holy Daughter said nothing, he had no right to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “Miss Meng, do you think they can be destroyed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan shook her head, “They probably can’t be destroyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan kicked the stone again, sending it flying into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two statues on the ground were already embedded in the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan gestured, and the long saber that fell to the ground flew horizontally, landing beside the two statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan stomped, pulling the two statues from the soil and making them fall neatly onto the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green stone descended fiercely, smashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” The stone struck the two statues solidly, then rolled to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two statues were unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan looked at Meng Canglan, “The material is indeed special, we could use this to sense the demons of the Evil Sect,… I plan to clean up the Evil Sect in the Eastern Territory, I need your sect’s assistance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan’s bright eyes sparkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “Do you have a Sealing Spirit Box? It would be best to seal them with it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll have someone send it over later,” Meng Canglan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Items involving Outer Heaven Power must be sealed with a Sealing Spirit Box to prevent anomalies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Eagle Beak Cliff and smiled, “Those people won’t also be sacrificed, will they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Canglan shook her head helplessly, “I could not say for sure now either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1428,"2026-06-03T09:57:58.104Z","2026-06-03T09:58:02.812Z",1,"novelbin.me","00be39127c8a2972ddb027183afe194969344e92107d4d91a8456ef59585bc6d","imperial-cultivation-chapter-425","imperial-cultivation-chapter-423",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
