Chapter 449: Luo'er the Priestess Unleashes Her Power! Her Whole Clan Eradicated!

Even the torrential downpour couldn't hinder their momentum at this moment.

The party, bristling with killing intent, rushed back to MiaoJiang, but they were blocked before even entering the sole passage into the valley.

"No outsiders are allowed to enter MiaoJiang territory!"

Li Qingluo flung out her Token: "I am a follower of the Witch Moon Sect, let me in!"

In the past year she had rarely left the valley.

But no one had ever stopped her because of the Token.

Yet today, the valley entrance was packed with people solely to block their return.

It seems they are determined not to let her return to the Witch Moon Sect.

"Princess of Yaoguang of DaLiang, stop joking."

"Our Witchcraft Technique of MiaoJiang is never taught to foreign women."

"It is the Witch Moon Sect that broke the rules; for all of MiaoJiang, we do not recognize your status."

"Even if you have a Token, so what?"

"We don't recognize you; today you won't get into the valley!"

"Moreover, if you don't leave quickly, don't blame us for reporting you. When we seize this foreign county lord, it won't look good."

Li Qingluo radiated killing aura, hard to conceal.

She looked up at the continuously falling rain threads.

Among the crowd opposite, at least half were priestesses.

If forced to clash, with those poisons in their hands, even the killers wouldn't fare well.

Nan Gongdi: "Luo'er, perhaps we should discuss this at length."

Li Qingluo: "Master, there's no time."

"They just want to stall me."

"The Witch Moon Sect must be troublesome!"

Having said that, Li Qingluo no longer hesitated.

She drew the Azure Fall Sword at her waist and shouted toward the sky: "Heaven, lend me—"

She muttered incantations.

In an instant, dark clouds pressed down from above.

The people at the valley entrance opposite turned pale at the sight.

"How is that possible? Didn't they say she only followed that ancient monster for a year? How could she use Lightning Summoning Technique!?"

"No! That's impossible! She must be trying to fool us."

"Everyone, form the formation!"

"Don't disrupt your own formation—"

"Poison Insect Release Technique!"

Then a booming 'boom—' echoed from the sky.

As Li Qingluo's sword pointed downward, she cleaved heavily toward the mountains.

A thunderclap and lightning struck simultaneously from the heavens.

A long white daylight bolt arced across the sky—

Zz—

Flames ignited on both sides of the cliff.

And the poisons just released in the valley hadn't even fled when the lightning Li Qingluo summoned struck them all dead on the path.

It wasn't only those from MiaoJiang.

Even Nan Gongdi, Que'er, Zheng Mama, and the killers were seeing Li Qingluo wield witchcraft for the first time.

They were all shocked in their hearts.

Is this the hardest witchcraft to learn in MiaoJiang?

It's truly incomprehensible!

To think one can summon lightning and face ten, a hundred, even thousands of troops without fear!

This is not a priestess!

It's simply... the terrifying power of a witch clan.

What terrified Nan Gongdi and the others even more was how long Li Qingluo had studied.

One year!

Just a year, right!

Even if she only learned this Lightning Summoning Technique, it's still an immensely frightening ability!

Thinking of that, they couldn't help but become excited.

But there was no time to think further; Li Qingluo stared at the wall of fire and commanded, "Charge!"

The MiaoJiang formation over there had been completely disrupted by Li Qingluo's previous move, so they rode their horses, leapt over the fire wall, and plunged in.

Sword drawn, they fought fiercely, laying waste to the entrance of MiaoJiang without restraint...

When Li Qingluo rushed back to the foot of the mountain where the Witch Moon Sect resides, she saw the doorway and stairs littered with twisted corpses.

Her heart sank with a heavy thud.

Along the way, she saw countless familiar members of the Witch Moon Sect lying in pools of blood, and Li Qingluo's heart grew as cold as a falling ice cellar.

"A Yun!"

"A Xing!"

"A Mu!"

"Hua Ling!"

Rainwater mixed with bloodwater flushed the long ladder of the Witch Moon Sect into a blood‑red waterfall.

Li Qingluo and her group looked up, their hearts filled with shock.

The entire Witch Moon Sect fell silent.

Only the deathly silence remained, submerged in the violent rain……

Li Qingluo hurried up the mountain.

Upon seeing more corpses lying sideways on the mountain, she felt her vision go black and could not move her feet.

She could only, like a walking corpse, turn over each body to check for any survivors.

However, each one was utterly dead, and their deaths were gruesomely horrific.

"Find A Lan, find Ya mei……quick!"

Li Qingluo clenched her teeth and shouted in a low voice.

The swordsmen held off the enemy behind them, while Li Qingluo, Nan Gongdi, Que'er, and Zheng Mama searched frantically everywhere inside the Witch Moon Sect.

On the way to the back mountain, Que'er cried out: "Miss! No, not good——you must come quickly——"

Li Qingluo heard the sound and rushed straight over.

When she saw that the corpse Que'er had turned over was actually Dong Siyuan, her heart skipped a beat.

She tremblingly reached out to feel Dong Siyuan's pulse.

He had already completely ceased breathing.

Li Qingluo went limp for a moment: "How could this happen……"

Zheng Mama angrily said: "What deep hatred and grudge could cause the Witch Moon Sect to suffer such a disastrous extermination!?"

Li Qingluo could only close Dong Siyuan's eyes, her voice turning deep and cold: "Search, keep searching! We must find a survivor!"

She said, looking toward the direction of her master's cave behind the mountain, and then rose to personally search the cave.

Inside the cave there was a dripping water sound.

But there is no water source in this cave; where does the sound come from?

Unless, it is blood.

Sure enough, she smelled the blood odor and hurriedly followed the sound to its source.

Soon, Li Qingluo saw a familiar figure on a stone platform deep in the cave.

This person was precisely the disciple of the third senior sister: Ya mei!

Ya mei had one hand on the edge of the stone platform, and blood water dripped from her fingers, producing that sound.

Li Qingluo hurried over and reached out to feel her neck.

To her surprise, Ya mei was still alive!

Li Qingluo hurriedly helped her up: "Ya mei! Ya mei? Wake up——"

Ya mei had been hacked once on her shoulder blade.

This wound was not fatal in itself, but if left untreated and bleeding continuously, she would soon bleed to death.

Li Qingluo tore her skirt hem, and just then Zheng Mama and Que'er also arrived.

Zheng Mama handed up the wound medicine, applied some to Ya mei's wound, and quickly staunched her bleeding.

After her hands were free, Li Qingluo asked: "How is it? Any trace of Jin ni?"

Zheng Mama: "Miss, Sect Leader Jin ni and A Duo are missing."

"However, the corpses of the Second Elder and Fifth Elder…… are all in the main hall."

"I and Que'er calculated, and possibly…… eighty percent are dead."

Li Qingluo almost gritted her teeth to pieces.

"A Duo sent word saying it was the Five Poisons Sect, Cloud Valley, and the Union Harmony Sect who did this."

"Usually, although the major sects of MiaoJiang have secret rivalries, they do not massacre each other; outwardly they are even more united."

"This time, several major sects joined forces to besiege the Witch Moon Sect; it must be that the Witch Moon Sect touched upon everyone's interests."

"It's all my fault for not paying attention to these matters normally, so now I have no clue why the Witch Moon Sect suffered this extermination disaster, not even a hint."

"Now it seems Jin ni and A Duo must still be alive."

"We must find——"

Before Li Qingluo finished speaking, Ya mei in her arms gave a groan and woke up.

"Junior Uncle……"

"Quick, save us……"

"Save our master and them……"

Seeing her awake, Li Qingluo hurriedly asked: "Ya mei, where exactly did your master and the sect leader senior sister go?"

"And what exactly happened to the Witch Moon Sect?"

Ya mei endured the pain and said: "Not long after you left yesterday…… just as it got dark…… Cloud Valley and the others attacked up the mountain……"

"Without hesitation, they wanted to slaughter all of us Witch Moon Sect……"

"Although we vowed to fight to the death, the disparity was too great…… so the entire sect was slaughtered……"

Ya mei choked back tears.

She pointed to a dark corner and said: "The sect leader and her fellows went in from there……"

"I followed behind, my injuries were too severe…… so I did not want to drag them down……"

"Junior Uncle, you hurry and meet up with our master and them……"

They definitely left from that side——

Ya mei's words hadn't finished, Li Qingluo's knife was already pressed against her neck.

"You think I'm easy to fool?"

"Ya mei, if you don't speak a word of truth, this knife will immediately slash your blood vessels."

"Do you still want to live or not?"

Ya mei looked terrified: "Junior Martial Uncle, what do you mean?"

"I, I am Ya mei——"

Li Qingluo: "The Sect Leader Senior Sisters would never abandon a fellow disciple whose injury is not fatal and flee."

"Even if you chose to stay to avoid burdening them, this could absolutely not happen!"

Ya mei: "Based on this alone, Junior Martial Uncle, you don't believe me?"

Li Qingluo: "Yes."

"Because I trust Senior Sister Jingning's character more."

"She would never abandon any fellow disciple. Even if she herself died, unless it was absolutely unavoidable, she would not abandon the Witch Moon Sect."

"Unless, she has already encountered misfortune or lost consciousness……"

"And this is highly possible!"

"Do you want to lure me into that side's secret passage?"

Thinking of this, Li Qingluo immediately gave Zheng Mama a glance.

Zheng Mama hurried over and leaned against the spot Ya mei had pointed to, listening.

"Miss, there's a wind sound."

"There really is a secret passage inside."

Ya mei hurriedly said: "Junior Martial Uncle, I really haven't deceived you."

"If I hadn't personally seen the Sect Leader Senior Brothers enter from there, how would I know there's a secret passage here?"

"This cave used to be the Elder Master's place; we junior disciples were never allowed to come and go freely…… Junior Martial Uncle, you know that, right?"

Just then, Nan Gongdi and Sha Yi rushed in.

"Lu er, those people are chasing after us."

The methods of these MiaoJiang people are not something Sha Yi can easily handle.

After dragging on this long, being able to return to the Witch Moon Sect is already the limit of their effort.

After all, back then dealing with a single Zuliya required over a dozen people to guard against every possibility.

Now the whole mountain is full of MiaoJiang people; to preserve one's life, one must indeed be extremely cautious.

Li Qingluo scooped up Ya mei in one motion: "Go!"

Since there's a secret passage here, let's just go check it out!

Li Qingluo lowered her head and caught a fleeting flash of fear in Ya mei's eyes.

She let out a cold snort in her heart: This Ya mei is definitely suspicious!
