Free Web NovelChapter 143: Chapter 135: Extermination of a Sect
Above the Five Poison Sect’s encampment.
"The Five Poison Sect refines Poisonous Gu from living people, harms innocent commoners, and controls hearts with Evil Arts. They stop at nothing, committing all manner of wickedness. Today, we shall enact justice on behalf of the heavens and swear to completely eradicate these demonic fiends."
A mighty voice echoed through the sky:
"With Vast Righteous Qi, we slay evil and purge demons!"
BZZZZ...
In the sky, seven points of starlight silently appeared, shaped like a dipper for ladling wine, shimmering brightly in the air.
The Beidou Seven Stars Sword Technique!
This was the supreme Sword Control Method of the Celestial Sword Lineage. The one who had attacked must be the Celestial Sword Dao Foundation’s Su Zichuan.
BOOM!
A bright light!
A blinding flash erupted in the sky. Zhu Ju instinctively closed his eyes, feeling powerful waves of Qi Force sweeping back and forth.
Even with the Void Treasure Ship’s defenses, his body still swayed uncontrollably.
BANG!
The sound of a collision followed immediately after.
"No wonder the paltry Five Poison Sect dared to disrespect our Sect. So, they had an expert backing them from the shadows."
Su Zichuan’s voice was icy:
"Do you truly believe you can bully the Bright Void Sect as if we have no one?"
"Evil Dao!" Daoist Qinglu waved his long sleeves, and the void was instantly filled with raindrops that shot forward.
"Show yourselves!"
The raindrops looked ordinary, but each was perfectly round and contained Heavy Water, weighing dozens of pounds.
But before them was not just a hundred or a thousand drops, but a boundless curtain of rain.
Profound Yuan Heavy Water!
The inherited Secret Technique of the Flying Phoenix Lineage.
When the stream of water rushed through the air, two figures were immediately forced out. Without a second word, they turned and fled.
There were also differences in strength among Dao Foundation Cultivators.
A Dao Foundation from a Major Immortal Sect was clearly stronger than a Loose Cultivator.
Whether in terms of inherited Cultivation Techniques or their Magical Artifacts and other possessions, Loose Cultivators were far from comparable to Sect Dao Foundation Cultivators.
Besides, although the Bright Void Sect was in decline, its foundation was still beyond that of an ordinary Immortal Sect.
"Trying to escape?"
Daoist Qinglu’s face filled with Evil Qi.
"Do you think you can?"
Powerful auras soared into the sky, crossing dozens of yards in a single flicker as they rapidly distanced themselves.
By the time Zhu Ju opened his eyes, the combat between the Dao Foundation Cultivators was over. The scene within the canyon came into view, making one gasp in shock.
The Five Poison Sect had been established in the Ten Thousand Mountains for several hundred years. Their Sect encampment was shrouded in thick, poisonous miasma and had never been disturbed by outsiders.
Within, there were naturally palaces, pavilions, and other such buildings.
But now, in the span of a mere dozen breaths, the buildings below looked as if they had been ravaged by a typhoon, leaving a total mess.
Countless people were wailing in agony amidst the ruins.
Horrifying!
This was the power of a Dao Foundation Cultivator. The mere aftershocks of their exchange had nearly destroyed an entire Sect.
They were truly no longer human!
"Go!"
Feng Wuju stood in the void, a cold expression on his face as he waved downward.
"Kill!"
"Leave no one alive!"
WHOOSH...
Zhu Ju felt a tremor run through his body as an Invisible Power enveloped him. He was pulled from the Void Treasure Ship and began to plummet downward.
As he landed, his body suddenly relaxed, the force of his descent completely dispelled.
Looking up, he saw over a thousand disciples of the Bright Void Sect from the three great ships falling like dumplings into various parts of the Five Poison Sect’s encampment.
The cries of battle followed immediately after.
"Follow me."
Just as he came to his senses, he saw Shen You wave them over, leading the three of them in a mad dash toward the ruins ahead.
He seemed to have investigated the Five Poison Sect’s layout in advance, heading straight for a particular building.
HISSS...
SWISH!
Countless poisonous insects and Gu creatures crawled through the ruins. Hearing the commotion, they lunged at the four of them.
BANG!
Shen You raised a hand.
Without any obvious movement, a massive force field instantly covered an area several yards in radius.
All the poisonous insects and Gu creatures within this area exploded at once, as if crushed by a millstone.
The Gu Insects that could survive here were no ordinary creatures; each one could easily poison an elephant to death.
Their bodies were also extremely tough, difficult to injure with ordinary blades, but they were utterly defenseless against Shen You.
Ning Ruxue’s beautiful eyes narrowed.
’An Innate who has broken five acupoints... is he really this strong?’
"Brother Shen is a True Disciple and cultivates the Celestial Spirit Technique. His strength surpasses even that of a Late-Stage Innate Loose Cultivator," Xiao Bufan said, also showing his surprise.
"The Celestial Spirit is peerless. Truly extraordinary!"
Zhu Ju nodded.
’If that attack had landed on me,’ he thought, ’even with Minor Success in the Earth Evil True Body, I wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.’
And that was just a casual strike from him.
’An ordinary Broken Five Acupoints Innate is definitely not this powerful.’
"Keep up!"
Shen You shouted, his figure suddenly blurring into a streak of light that shot through the ruins, sending disciples of the Five Poison Sect flying.
He struck without mercy. Every person he encountered was killed, a level of ruthlessness that shocked the three of them.
’The usually amiable Brother Shen has such a side to him?’
What kind of heinous crime had the Five Poison Sect committed to enrage the normally good-tempered Shen You to this extent?
Among them, only Zhu Ju had an inkling as to why.
’Brother Zhong Wen really was killed by the Five Poison Sect’s Dao Gu!’
BOOM!
A giant golden handprint slammed into a gate forged from metal, and the iron doors instantly shattered into pieces.
"This is one of the Five Poison Sect’s storehouses. Be careful of the poisons set up inside. Take whatever you want."
Shen You stepped inside, killing a swarm of poisonous insects with a wave of his sleeve. He picked up a jar and examined it.
Then he frowned and tossed it aside.
"There’s no need to hand over today’s spoils to the Sect."
Huh?
The three of them were stunned, then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.
Ning Ruxue couldn’t help but let out a small cry before hurrying into the storehouse, opening her Qiankun Bag, and desperately stuffing things inside.
Insect eggs, poisons, Spirit Stones, materials...
The storehouse wasn’t large, but it was filled with goods.
Xiao Bufan’s eyes also lit up, and he pounced on a collection of poisons, plundering them with gusto.
He also cultivated a Poisonous Skill, so these items were essential consumables for his training.
Meanwhile, Zhu Ju prioritized all sorts of materials. Before long, the group had completely emptied the storehouse.
"Let’s go!"
Shen You, who had casually picked up a few items himself, saw this and said:
"On to the next place."
There’s more?
Ning Ruxue couldn’t help but grin.
Under Shen You’s guidance, the group looted several more storehouses before finally stopping.
"Find a place to wait for our return. I’m going deeper inside to check on the situation."
After giving this instruction, Shen You hurried away.
The remaining three looked at each other.
Resistance continued in the depths of the Five Poison Sect’s encampment. With their strength, having just entered the Innate realm or only Broken One Acupoint, going further would be suicide.
They didn’t even need to encounter a master from the Five Poison Sect; certain Gu Insects could bite them to death. Naturally, they didn’t dare to follow.
"What now?"
Ning Ruxue licked her lips.
"Should we look for more?"
"Still looking?" Zhu Ju turned his head and couldn’t help but ask.
"Can you even carry any more?"
At this point, not only was Ning Ruxue’s Qiankun Bag bulging, but she was also carrying large and small bundles on her back.
The bundles were bigger than she was.
Xiao Bufan was the same, carrying a mountain-like pile of packages that made him extremely conspicuous.
Only he, because he had an extra Qiankun Bag and a Fire Cloud Gourd, wasn’t carrying anything in his hands.
"So what?" Ning Ruxue straightened her back.
"A bit of casual looting could net us several Spirit Stones. That’s usually several months’ income."
"Brother..."
"How about you help me carry some? We can split it evenly when we get back to the Sect."
Zhu Ju shook his head speechlessly.
"Brother, Sister," Xiao Bufan hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
"I’m going to go look over there. I’ll take my leave first."
"Hm?" Watching Xiao Bufan’s retreating back, Ning Ruxue looked thoughtful.
"This Junior Brother Xiao is a bit strange. He seems very familiar with the Five Poison Sect’s environment. He must know where the good stuff is."
"Brother..."
"Brother Shen told us to wait for the return signal and not to cause any trouble," Zhu Ju shook his head, cutting her off.
"We can’t get involved in a major event like annihilating a sect. Let’s just focus on staying alive first, and worry about other things later."
"I’m heading to the periphery. You do as you please."
With that, he turned and walked toward the outer areas.
"Brother!"
Ning Ruxue called out from behind. Seeing that Zhu Ju didn’t react, she struggled for a moment but ultimately couldn’t bear to part with the benefits right in front of her. She stamped her foot and charged back into the ruins.
In the past, she had to rack her brains just to get a single Spirit Stone. Now, she could get them just by picking them up.
How could she miss such an opportunity?
*

At the periphery.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Two Outer Sect Disciples from the Celestial Sword Lineage tossed aside the corpses in their hands and cupped their fists in a salute to Zhu Ju.
Three lineages, one Sect.
Everyone addressed each other as brother or sister.
Zhu Ju nodded in acknowledgment, found a clean spot to sit down, and waited for the end to return.
Leave no one alive!
Feng Wuju’s words were being strictly enforced.
A collapsed mountain blocked the canyon, making it difficult for the Five Poison Sect disciples to escape. The thousand-plus disciples of the Bright Void Sect engaged in a frantic slaughter within the encampment.
Whether they were official disciples of the Five Poison Sect, Poison Slaves, or Insect Servants, as long as they were alive, they were not spared.
Innocent?
This time, the Bright Void Sect didn’t mind slaughtering the innocent.
Annihilate the Sect and wipe out its clan,
To serve as a warning to others!
Over a dozen True Disciples were like a dozen indestructible, sharp swords, stabbing viciously into the core of the Five Poison Sect.
BOOM!
"Bright Void Sect, you’ve gone too far!"
RUMBLE...
Countless Gu Insects surged from the core of the Five Poison Sect like a geyser of black water, rushing in all directions.
"Suppress!"
Pei Jingque elegantly flipped her hand, and a Great Seal shot out, transforming in mid-air into a small mountain that came crashing down.
"A Top-Grade Magical Artifact?"
"AHH!"
Amidst the screams, several Late-Stage Innate disciples of the Five Poison Sect, along with the surrounding Gu Insects, were instantly smashed into a pulp.
As a Core True Inheritance of the Bright Void Sect, not only was her own strength formidable, but she also had the backing of the Sect.
Top-Grade Magical Artifacts, which were typically only accessible to Dao Foundation Cultivators, were practically standard issue for top Core True Inheritance disciples.
There was simply no comparison!
...
"Quick, go!"
"Go!"
A dozen or so people, shrouded in black smoke, silently rushed toward the periphery.
Just as they were about to cross the collapsed mountain rocks and escape the Five Poison Sect’s encampment, two intersecting beams of Sword Light appeared.
PFFT!
The Sword Light twisted, and several people instantly lost their lives.
The Void Two Forms Sword!
Two Celestial Sword Outer Disciples who had achieved Breaking Two Acupoints appeared before them, their twin swords joining forces as they charged into the crowd.
Faced with them, the so-called Acquired Perfection experts, Qi Circulation masters, and Poisonous Insect Refining Experts had no power to resist at all.
Wherever the Sword Light passed, a graze meant injury, and a touch meant death.
"Spare us!"
"Two great heroes, spare our lives!"
"This lowly one was forcibly brought here from the Martial World by the Five Poison Sect! I’ve never done anything evil! I beg for your mercy!"
"Please be merciful! I’m willing to hand over everything I have, I just beg you to let me go!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
The group cried and wailed loudly. Seeing that resistance was futile, they all fell to their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Alas...
It was also useless!
The cold, murderous Sword Light showed not a hint of hesitation as it crisscrossed and plunged into the crowd.
"Careful!"
A warning suddenly rang in their ears.
’It’s that senior brother from Dragon Head Peak!’
The two of them registered this and instinctively changed their technique, retracting their swords to form a layered curtain of light in front of them.
SHRIIIP...
A streak of black light abruptly appeared.
The saber light, now at point-blank range, brutally tore through their sword-style defense and, with its momentum unchecked, slashed across their throats.
PFFT!
Fresh blood splattered.
After killing two people in an instant, the blade-wielding figure abruptly changed direction, lunging toward Zhu Ju.
