Chapter 315: Chapter 264: Heaven-Devouring Demonic Qi!

Seeing the situation getting out of control, the Meridian Unlocking Realm elder of the Yuanjian Sect, Cao Nan, stepped forward: "Elder Ding Yong, please have Sect Leader Huan Ming of the Void Nether Sect appear."

The disciples of the Void Nether Sect, upon seeing Cao Nan, were immediately too frightened to speak, and the two elders in the Refining Organ Realm were the same.

The Refining Organ Realm elder named Ding Yong braced himself and cupped his hands: "Senior Brother Cao, we have already notified the Sect Leader, please wait in the guest hall."

"Hmph!" Cao Nan forcefully flicked his sleeve, "Lead the way!"

"Yes... yes..."

...

Void Nether Sect, guest hall.

The hall was packed with people, County Magistrate He Ze of Chi’an County and He Xiao, who guards the Magistrate, sat at the upper part of the hall, with Elder Cao Nan of the Yuanjian Sect beside them.

On the main seat, Sect Leader Huan Ming of the Void Nether Sect did not look well.

"Sect Leader Huan Ming, where were you last night?" He Ze asked.

"Cultivating within my Void Nether Sect."

"Who can prove it?"

"No one can prove it." Huan Ming coldly looked at He Ze.

"Sect Leader Huan Ming, if you maintain this attitude, don’t blame me, He Xiao, for being discourteous."

"Hmph, Lord He brings so many people to my Void Nether Sect to lay charges, and yet speaks of courtesy?!"

"Fine, very well," He Xiao stood up, "Everyone, arrest everyone in the Void Nether Sect!"

"He Xiao, what do you mean? What crime did my Void Nether Sect commit?" Huan Ming smashed the armrest of the chair beside him.

"What crime? You’ll know once you are thrown into the dungeon!"

"Is this how the Commandery Mansion handles cases?!"

"It’s because Sect Leader Huan Ming refuses to be open and honest, I can only do this."

"Sect Leader Huan Ming, will you come with me, or do I have to make you?"

"You?"

"Do you dare to resist the Commandery Mansion?!"

"I will defy today!"

"..."

...

Chi’an County, Five Lakes Inn.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, something huge happened in our Chi’an County last night."

"What happened, quickly tell us."

"Last night, a great demon appeared in our Chi’an County, shrouded all over in black haze, it almost turned the sky of Chi’an County black."

"So exaggerated, tell us, what kind of heinous act did that demon commit?"

"The deeds of that demon can’t just be described as heinous, it’s simply enraging both humans and gods."

"In North City, members of the Iron Axe Gang, Canal Guild, and over a dozen small and large gangs were all devoured by that demon, the martial arts hall masters of Golden Light Martial Arts Hall, Black Stone Martial Arts Hall, and four or five others were also devoured."

"Martial arts hall masters? I remember the Golden Light Martial Arts Hall and Black Stone Martial Arts Hall are elders in the Meridian Unlocking Realm, right?"

"Exactly, the several hall masters were only at the early stage of Meridian Unlocking Realm, and it’s said that demon, covered in black haze, devoured them within a few bites."

"That’s not all, this demon must have cultivated some demon technique to enhance power by devouring people, after a big round of devouring in the city, its black hand extended towards the four great Martial Arts Sects of our Chi’an County."

"The Sect Leader of the Flying Cloud Sect, the Sect Leader of the Yuanjian Sect, and the Ancestor of the Four Directions Sect, all were devoured by the demon last night!"

"How is that possible, the Sect Leader of the Flying Cloud Sect is a mid-stage Meridian Unlocking Realm senior, the Sect Leaders of the Yuanjian Sect and the Ancestor of the Four Directions Sect are even late-stage, could that demon possibly be a Lower Realm Meridian Unlocking strong person?"

"Whether it’s Lower Realm or not is hard to say, but why didn’t you mention the Void Nether Sect?"

"Ah... this brother is very sharp, the problem lies with the Void Nether Sect."

"You mean..."

"Yes, the demon that almost turned the sky of Chi’an County black overnight is the Sect Leader Huan Ming of the Void Nether Sect."

"At dawn today, the Commandery Mansion personally led all the major Martial Arts Halls and Martial Arts Sects to the Void Nether Sect to demand an explanation."

"As a result, the Void Nether Sect refused to cooperate, openly challenging the Commandery Mansion."

"And then? And then?"

"What do you think? Lord He Xiao of the Commandery Mansion, together with everyone, took down the entire Void Nether Sect."

"It’s just a pity.....the Sect Leader of the Void Nether Sect, Huan Ming, escaped."

"Ah? After all this, the great demon escaped?"

"..."

"Quite exciting, but who knows if it’s true."

By the window in the inn, Chu Ming and his two companions were eating porridge, those words just now came from Jiang Zhan.

"If it’s true, then Chi’an County really changed dramatically in one night." Meng Zhen said quietly beside him.

Chu Ming sipped his porridge without saying a word.

"Senior Brother Chu, do you think it’s true or false?" Jiang Zhan looked at Chu Ming.
