Chapter 201: A Sword Destroys the Yinluo Sect from Ten Thousand Miles Away

"This is from a Demonic Path cultivator who calls himself the Yinluo Sect Master, for me to give to you. He says to meet him at Jiyue Mountain in Yuanwu Country."

After the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect calmed Yan Taibai's emotions, she took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Yan Taibai, saying.

"Fine, I will go at once."

Taking the Jade Slip, Yan Taibai did not hesitate in the slightest and left the Sunset Hall directly; as a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect, she had not perceived in the slightest how Yan Taibai had left.

As for the matter of Yan Taibai's safety, she was not worried; she was only worried about whether Yan Taibai could obtain the method to save Nangong Wan.

This was the most important thing.

……

After leaving the Yanyue Sect, Yan Taibai headed straight for Yuanwu Country; the poisonous curse Nangong Wan was afflicted with was indeed the "Soul Sealing Curse" of the Demonic Path from the original plot.

Moreover, this time it had been planted by the Yinluo Sect Master himself.

As for the content of the Jade Slip, it was to have Yan Taibai use the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure on his person to exchange for the method to break the curse; otherwise, Nangong Wan would have only one path: death.

Regarding this, Yan Taibai decided to first exterminate the Yinluo Sect Master, then use the Luxian Juetian Sword to wipe out the entire Yinluo Sect.

Although the two places were far apart, given the spirituality of his Life-Bound Magical Treasure: the Luxian Juetian Sword, as long as it was given an address, it guaranteed the mission would be accomplished! Yan Taibai did not doubt this in the slightest; the only thing to worry about was whether it would kill too much, devour too much, and thus leave and flee uncontrollably.

As for why he did not go to the Dajin Cultivation World himself to exterminate the Yinluo Sect, firstly, the distance was too great; secondly, he chose to go to the Falling Demon Valley first to obtain the inner core of the Fire Toad Beast to temporarily alleviate the "Soul Sealing Curse," giving him sufficient time to find the materials needed for the method to break the curse.

And this method to break the curse was held by the Yinluo Sect Master here; there was no need to travel ten thousand miles to the Dajin Cultivation World, which would be time-consuming, laborious, and might even affect Nangong Wan.

Therefore, it was urgent to first exterminate the Yinluo Sect Master and obtain the method to break the curse; everything else could be set aside.

……

One day later, Yan Taibai arrived at Jiyue Mountain in Yuanwu Country as promised; this was a moderately famous mountain peak, but now there were only the Yinluo Sect Master and Yan Taibai present.

The Yinluo Sect Master was the same as in Yan Taibai's memories, looking like a young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, only his complexion was abnormally pale, and his eyes had faint green light flickering within, appearing extremely eerie.

"Hand over the method to break the 'Soul Sealing Curse', and I can agree to leave your corpse intact."

Yan Taibai's voice was bone-chillingly cold, filled with killing intent.

"If you want the method to break the 'Soul Sealing Curse', you only need for Fellow Daoist Taibai to hand over the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure on your person and guarantee no further retaliation, and this Sect Master can agree to present it with both hands. Otherwise, this Sect Master can guarantee that Fellow Daoist Taibai will only be able to watch helplessly as your confidante and senior sister turns into a beauty's withered bones."

The Yinluo Sect Master smiled, feeling secure in his position.

He had investigated Yan Taibai thoroughly; among the people Yan Taibai cared about most, Nangong Wan was certainly in the top three, so as long as he held Nangong Wan's life in his grasp, he was seventy or eighty percent certain Yan Taibai would submit.

"One last time, hand over the method to break the curse, and I will leave your corpse intact."

Yan Taibai's voice remained unchanged and cold.

"This Sect has also said, hand over the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure on your person and the method to activate it, and promise no further retaliation, and this Sect will present the method to break the curse with both hands."

The Yinluo Sect Master was also wary of Yan Taibai's divine abilities and strength, but when he thought of the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure and the activation method on Yan Taibai.

He felt it was worth taking the risk; the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure and the activation method truly tempted him.

However, he had underestimated Yan Taibai's strength.

"Then you can die!"

Before the Yinluo Sect Master's words had faded, Yan Taibai spoke directly, and then a golden light streaked across; in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the Yinluo Sect Master's chest, and no demonic Qi or precious armor could block it in the slightest.

However, the Yinluo Sect Master's pierced corpse suddenly expanded strangely, and then, after a huge explosive sound, a cloud of blood dispersed and splattered everywhere, with the majority rushing head-on toward the newly emerged Yan Taibai.

Seeing this, Yan Taibai raised an eyebrow, and immediately, with a wave of his palm, five or six streaks of pale golden Evil-Warding Divine Thunder shot out, directly shattering and dissipating the blood cloud.

This kind of blood cloud was indeed a vicious secret technique used by Demonic Path cultivators to turn their own flesh and blood into a means of attack before death, but it was restrained by the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder.

Therefore, as soon as the two made contact, the blood cloud that had appeared aggressive immediately collapsed and vanished under the flickering golden light.

But taking advantage of that brief moment, a small, pitch-black figure wrapped in a piece of blood cloud had already flown away in advance.

This small figure was precisely the Nascent Soul of the Yinluo Sect Master; at this moment, his face was full of terror. He had never imagined that Yan Taibai would be so formidable, destroying his body in just one move, leaving only the Nascent Soul to escape.

Now, he was filled with incomparable regret. But it was already too late; he could only use the fastest speed of his life, and in just an instant, he had escaped a hundred feet away, seemingly about to get away and escape the current perilous situation.

But how could Yan Taibai allow the Yinluo Sect Master to escape? In fact, the Yinluo Sect Master's Nascent Soul being able to escape the body was something he had done on purpose.

Therefore, Yan Taibai sneered and vanished from where he stood; coincidentally, the Yinluo Sect Master looked back from within the blood cloud and was startled by this scene.

Immediately, panic filled his heart; he could no longer spare his origin power, so he formed seals with both hands, and the Nascent Soul turned into a streak of blood light and vanished on the spot, actually intending to use teleportation repeatedly to escape.

However, this time Yan Taibai was in no mood to play with him.

From his eyes, two streaks of golden light shot out, flashed, and disappeared into the void before him without a trace.

Afterward, a muffled, thunder-like explosion came from ahead.

Then, with a flash of black light, the Nascent Soul stumbled out of the void; it was clear that the teleportation secret technique had only been half-executed before it was forcibly knocked out of the void.

The "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash" could naturally break others' teleportation techniques.

With the teleportation secret technique executed, the Yinluo Sect Master's Nascent Soul gritted his teeth again, formed a seal, and vanished.

But this time, Yan Taibai had no more patience.

He raised his hand and pointed forward; immediately, a golden ray shot out like lightning and then disappeared, but right after, a slight thunderclap came from ahead, and the Yinluo Sect Master's Nascent Soul let out a miserable shriek.

And his hands were clutching his chest, where a golden sword several inches long was stuck, but it had not pierced through his body, only having entered halfway.

But the electric arcs jumping from the small sword proved that this was a small sword condensed from Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, which had directly severely wounded his Nascent Soul, causing him to wail incessantly.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai, spare my life! This Sect has something to say!"

With death imminent, the Yinluo Sect Master chose to beg for mercy.

He finally knew how stupid he had been, but unfortunately, Yan Taibai gave him no chance to talk nonsense and directly chose to perform soul-searching.

And he quickly obtained the information he wanted: the method to break the "Soul Sealing Curse" and the plan between the Yinluo Sect and the Mulan Tribe.

But now it had all failed; the Yinluo Sect Master was dead, and he believed the Yinluo Sect elders at the Mulan Tribe's Tianlan Sacred Hall had already received the news.

Of course, Yan Taibai also obtained the Yinluo Sect's imitation "Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure," the Ghost Luo Banner; although it was of little use to Yan Taibai, it still had some utility.

Besides this, Yan Taibai also obtained one other thing: a pitch-black sphere.

Looking at the sphere, Yan Taibai pondered silently. Although the surface of this sphere looked dull and unremarkable, if one looked closely, one could notice that there were mysterious grayish-white runes flickering in and out of existence on its surface.

Moreover, by probing the interior with divine sense, one could also discover that there were clusters of pitch-black mist rolling incessantly inside the sphere, which seemed to be extremely terrifying and pure demonic Qi.

It is precisely one of the only two Immortal Extinguishing Pearls that may remain in the Human World.

And this Immortal Extinguishing Pearl, Yan Taibai remembers, was refined for Mortals to use.

It is just that it later fell into the hands of cultivators; it is also one of the few treasures in the Spirit World that can be driven by Mortals without the slightest bit of magic power, yet possesses great power. However, because it is not easy to refine and its power is a bit too great, few cultivators refine it.

As for the method of refining, very few people in the Spirit World know it either.

Now that Yan Taibai has obtained this one, he can indeed give it to Yan Ruyan as a life-saving item, so as to avoid encountering the previous situation again.

After putting away the Immortal Extinguishing Pearl, Yan Taibai sighed; the situation of Nangong Wan is truly not optimistic.

But fortunately, there is still a way to solve it, so the problem is not too big. It is just that it requires a trip to the Dajin Cultivation World.

However, before that, the Yinluo Sect can disappear.

At this thought, Yan Taibai flipped his palm, and a dark golden long sword, yet one radiating blood energy, baleful energy, and killing intent, appeared in his hand; faintly, one could hear the sounds of ghosts weeping and wolves howling, and spirits that would not disperse.

And this is his Life-Bound Magical Treasure Dao Artifact: Luxian Juetian Sword.

Seeing this, Yan Taibai's expression became much more solemn, and immediately, he branded the coordinates of the Yinluo Sect in the Dajin Cultivation World into the blade.

"Go! Remember, leave none alive."

Before the words had faded, this Dao Artifact Luxian Juetian Sword emitted a joyful sword hum as if it were a prisoner about to be freed, making Yan Taibai increasingly worried, but once he thought of the Yinluo Sect Master.

"Forget it, let us see the fortune of the Dajin Cultivation World; do not blame me, who told the Yinluo Sect Master to court death and insist on hurting Senior Sister Wan'er."

After muttering to himself and convincing himself, Yan Taibai loosened his hand and lifted the Restriction on the Luxian Juetian Sword.

The moment it broke free from the Restriction, the Luxian Juetian Sword emitted a loud sword hum that pierced the nine heavens, and then, it transformed into a dark golden, blood-red sword light and headed toward the Dajin Cultivation World.

As for what it is going to do, it is naturally to follow Yan Taibai's instructions to exterminate the entire Yinluo Sect.

This matter is something only his Life-Bound Magical Treasure Dao Artifact Luxian Juetian Sword can accomplish.

Although it might break free from control afterward, Yan Taibai could not care about that anymore.

In short, this entire Yinluo Sect must be destroyed, and the Mulan Tribe must also settle this account.

But the urgent matter now is to obtain the Fire Toad Beast inner core to temporarily delay the onset of the "Soul Sealing Curse".

……

Tianlan Sacred Hall, inside a side hall.

"Madam, you called us here in such a hurry; is there some urgent matter from the Sect Master?"

The person speaking was a man covered in a black robe, whose face could not be seen clearly; his whole body radiated eerie black Qi, and there was a faint sound of ghosts weeping coming from his robes, making people shudder and not dare to approach.

However, at this moment, everyone in the side hall was from their Yinluo Sect, and moreover, they were all dressed this way, so it did not count for much.

"That is right, Madam, does the Sect Master have any further instructions?" A black-robed youth of twenty-some years nodded in agreement.

The other few Yinluo Sect Nascent Soul cultivators were the same, nodding in agreement.

They appeared quite respectful toward the Yinluo Sect Master.

"Husband... has fallen!"

Regarding the inquiries of the several Yinluo Sect Nascent Soul elders, the Yinluo Sect Master's wife's hoarse voice was filled with sorrow.

And her words caused the several Yinluo Sect elders in the side hall to look as if they had been struck by lightning, revealing expressions of incredulity, disbelief, inability to believe, and difficulty in accepting.

"This... how is this possible? Madam, are you not joking? The Sect Master is a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage; let alone here in Mulan, even in the Dajin Cultivation World, there is no one who could kill the Sect Master! Do not tease us?"

The black-robed youth suppressed his agitated emotions and smiled bitterly.

This kind of thing really made them feel incredible and unbelievable.

"Do you think I would joke with you about such a thing? Husband told me a while ago..."

Subsequently, the Yinluo Sect Master's wife, with a hoarse and sorrowful voice, told the cause and effect under the shocked gazes of the black-robed youth and the others.

"Madam, do you mean that the Sect Master most likely fell at the hands of that number one person of the Tiannan Cultivation World, True Master Taibai?"

After hearing this, the black-robed youth's expression was extremely ugly; he did not want to believe it, yet he had to believe it.

"Therefore, we must leave the Mulan Tribe and return to the sect to tell the Great Elder about this matter; only then is there hope of avenging Husband."

This time, the Yinluo Sect Master's wife's voice was filled with endless, chilling hatred.

"Good, we must leave. Otherwise, that True Master Taibai of the Tiannan Cultivation World will definitely come to the Mulan Tribe to seek revenge."

Another black-robed person also agreed.

As for the other black-robed people, it was naturally the same.

"Hmm, since that is the case, we will leave now to avoid being hunted down by that True Master Taibai."

At this point, they had no time for sorrow; all they had was terror, and they only wanted to hurry and leave this place to avoid ending up with the same fate as the Yinluo Sect Master.

As for sorrow, except for the Yinluo Sect Master's wife, who would be sad because she had lost her husband, a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage, as her backing, the other Yinluo Sect elders would not at all.

After all, they of the Demonic Path are cold-blooded and heartless by nature, let alone the Yinluo Sect.

What they had now was only fear and terror; they wanted to quickly leave this Mulan Tribe and return to the Yinluo Sect.

Therefore, they had no intention of saying goodbye to the Mulan Tribe at all and left directly; they did not even bring the ancient wild beasts and left the Mulan Tribe at the fastest speed possible.

When the Mulan Tribe reacted, all the Yinluo Sect cultivators had already disappeared.

This left them puzzled, so they sent people to find out what had happened and why they had run so fast.

However, they were destined not to find them!

Likewise, when they returned to the Yinluo Sect, the Yinluo Sect had long since been slaughtered by the Luxian Juetian Sword.
