Chapter 755: Heavenly Book Second Volume

In just the moment of engagement, over ten thousand Ghost King Sect disciples were killed or injured.

Seeing this scene, the Ghost King couldn't help but change his expression and hurriedly shouted to the five Martial Emperor Realm elders:

"All elders, follow this Sect Master to kill the enemy's Martial Emperor Realm experts!"

The Ghost King knew that if this great battle was to be won, it would depend on the duel between the high-level experts.

In terms of numbers, the Great Han Empire's army was a million strong, while his Ghost King Sect had fewer than five hundred thousand disciples.

Moreover, these five hundred thousand disciples did not have cultivation levels as high as the enemy soldiers.

At this time, the Ghost King Sect elders also saw the situation on the battlefield.

After hearing the Ghost King's order, their figures flew toward the Great Han's Martial Emperor Realm experts.

However, while they were still in mid-air, they were intercepted by Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Liao, who led their men.

And the Ghost King was intercepted by Zhang Liao.

The Ghost King's cultivation had reached the Martial Emperor Seventh Heaven realm, while the five Ghost King Sect elders had cultivation levels between the Martial Emperor Third Heaven and Martial Emperor Fifth Heaven.

The cultivation of these people was not as high as that of the Great Han Empire's people.

The moment they clashed, they suffered a great loss at the hands of the Great Han.

Seeing that the situation was bad, the Ghost King wanted to lead the elders to break through the encirclement.

However, their cultivation was not as high as Zhang Liao and the others, and having already been injured, even if they wanted to leave, it was already too late.

Very quickly, the Ghost King was beaten into a state of serious injury by Zhang Liao.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that my Ghost King Sect would be destroyed just like this!"

"Damn heaven, I am not convinced! My great plan has not yet been realized, I am not convinced!"

The Ghost King, already on the verge of death, looked at his disciples constantly falling into pools of blood and roared at the sky in unwillingness.

The Ghost King's heart was filled with unwillingness; after obtaining the Dragon-Binding Cauldron, he hadn't even collected the four great divine beasts yet.

Once he gathered the four great divine beasts, he could use the Dragon-Binding Cauldron to set up the Four Spirits Blood Array.

With the help of the Four Spirits Blood Array, he would be able to unify the world.

However, such a good plan hadn't even been implemented, and his Ghost King Sect had actually been destroyed by the Great Han Empire.

Thinking of this, the Ghost King had already put his life and death behind him, looking at Zhang Liao with resentment.

If it weren't for the Great Han, his Ghost King Sect wouldn't have been destroyed!

"Hmph! No matter what schemes or plots you have, they are useless in the face of absolute strength!"

"My Great Han has already given you a chance; it is you who didn't know how to cherish it. Now, you should just go on your way in peace!"

Zhang Liao looked at the Ghost King's appearance, snorted coldly at him, and said with disdain.

Immediately, the long blade in his hand directly sliced across the Ghost King's neck.

Thus, the Ghost King Sect Master fell at the hands of Zhang Liao.

In other parts of the battlefield, Zhang Sanfeng, Zhu Yuyan, and others also killed the five Ghost King Sect elders.

The four Ghost King Sect protectors were also killed by the four Xuanwu Legion generals, Zhang He, Li Dian, and others.

At this time on the field, of the nearly five hundred thousand Ghost King Sect disciples, fewer than one hundred thousand remained.

These disciples had long since been scared out of their wits and had all chosen to surrender.

Thus, the Ghost King Sect, as one of the four major demonic factions, was destroyed.

Very quickly, the entire Ghost King Sect was thoroughly looted by the Han army.

……

"Your Majesty, now that the Ghost King Sect, one of the four major demonic factions, has been destroyed by our Great Han, the next one, closest to us, is Yizhou."

Inside the Ghost King Sect, after cleaning up the battlefield, Han Xin respectfully said to Liu Bian.

Hearing this, Liu Bian nodded and asked Han Xin:

"If I remember correctly, the Tianyin Temple is in Yizhou, right!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Han Xin nodded and respectfully replied to Liu Bian:

"Your Majesty is correct; the Tianyin Temple, one of the three major righteous factions, is indeed within Yizhou!"

Hearing this, Liu Bian nodded and said to Han Xin and the others:

"Good, since that is the case, then attack Yizhou and take the Tianyin Temple!"

Everyone heard this, their expressions turned solemn, and they loudly responded to Liu Bian:

"This humble general (minister) obeys the decree!"

Just then, Han Xin took a scroll and a small cauldron from his bosom and respectfully said to Liu Bian:

"Your Majesty, these two items were found on the Ghost King; this humble general feels they are extraordinary and has come specifically to present them to Your Majesty!"

Seeing the items in Han Xin's hand, Liu Bian instantly knew what these two things were.

"Good! I will accept these two treasures; you all go down and prepare first!"

Everyone heard this, bowed respectfully to Liu Bian, and responded: "This humble general (minister) takes his leave!"

After everyone left, Liu Bian first turned his gaze toward the small cauldron.

Dragon-Binding Cauldron: Heaven Grade Supreme treasure, can be used to condense the Four Spirits Blood Array; combined with the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Disk, it can open the Asura Gate, and by borrowing the power of Asura, one can obtain powerful strength.

"It really is the Dragon-Binding Cauldron, but for me, this item doesn't have much use!"

After knowing the purpose of the Dragon-Binding Cauldron, Liu Bian put it away, then turned his gaze toward the scroll.

"If I am not mistaken, this thing should be the most mysterious thing in this world, the Heavenly Book!"

"And what the Ghost King Sect possessed is the second volume of the Heavenly Book!"

Heavenly Book Second Volume: Heaven Grade Superior technique, the most powerful cultivation technique of the demonic path; once mastered, one can possess the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth. Collecting all five volumes of the Heavenly Book allows one to comprehend the mystery of longevity.

"It really is the Heavenly Book Second Volume, the Demonic Path Volume!"

……

Very quickly, the news that the Ghost King Sect had been destroyed by the Great Han Empire spread out.

All the Jianghu sects turned pale upon hearing this.

One must know that the Ghost King Sect was one of the four major demonic factions, and the contemporary Ghost King was even more powerful, with a cultivation of Martial Emperor Seventh Heaven.

Such strength was that of an expert who could contend with the Sect Master of the righteous Qingyun Sect, Dao Xuan True Person.

Moreover, within the Ghost King Sect, there were five Martial Emperor Realm mid-stage elders and four Martial Emperor Realm mid-stage protectors.

Such a powerful faction had actually been destroyed by this Great Han Empire.

If the Great Han Empire could destroy such a powerful Ghost King Sect, then these small sects were even more dangerous.

One must know that within the Great Han Empire's territory, any sect that did not submit had been destroyed by the Great Han Empire.

Wanting them to surrender to the Great Han Empire was something they couldn't do; for a time, these sect people all turned their gazes toward the three major righteous factions, such as the Qingyun Sect.

Nowadays, only the Qingyun Sect had the strength to contend with the Great Han Empire.

As for the demonic side, the Ten Thousand Poison Gate and the Huanhuan Sect were also shocked by the news after receiving word that the Ghost King Sect had been destroyed.

They did not expect that the Ghost King Sect would be destroyed by the Great Han Empire just like that.

Only now did they finally take it seriously and see that the Great Han Empire was not simple.

And the Ten Thousand Poison Gate's Sect Master, Poison God, personally headed to the Huanhuan Sect.

As for the Chang Sheng Hall, also one of the four major demonic factions, it had already declined and had long since been destroyed by the Great Han Empire. ===== CHAPTER 756 =====
