Chapter 187: Instigate Defection! Kill and Depart
“Senior Brother, it has been a long time.”
You came before the Seventh-Rank Formation Master and smiled.
“Junior Brother, we have not met for many years. Master misses you greatly.”
“Once this battle is over, I will naturally go to the Imperial City to pay my respects to Master.”
One of your hands rested on Senior Brother’s shoulder.
You did not know much about this Senior Brother of yours. Back then you had only been a Recorded Disciple, and you had never had any real dealings with this person.
Jiang Cha looked at the arm on his shoulder, his brow furrowing slightly, but he did not say much.
Now you were the esteemed Sect Master of the Heavenly Blade Sect. Even if Ancestor Xuanming came in person, he could only address you as Fellow Daoist, let alone his disciple.
The smile on your face grew more and more dangerous. Suddenly, the arm resting on Jiang Cha’s shoulder exerted force, gripping Jiang Cha’s neck in a death lock!
Under normal circumstances, if you wanted to deal with a Fusion realm cultivator, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But now, as a Body Cultivator, dealing with a Fusion realm cultivator at close range was as easy as a wave of the hand!
“Cough, Junior Brother, you…”
You gave the other party no chance to struggle. Your right hand exerted force and directly crushed Jiang Cha’s neck!
A head rolled down and appeared before you, Jiang Cha’s terrified face forever frozen on it.
You took out the Human Sovereign Banner, summoned the souls within, and devoured all of Jiang Cha’s Remnant Soul, leaving the other party not a single chance at survival.
“Mo Yang! You!!!”
Nine heavens above, the Fusion realm battle had begun. General Li said furiously.
“Kill!”
The only response to General Li was a single word. Kill!
The Heavenly Blade Sect cultivators who had originally been fighting the Bai family disciples suddenly stopped and instead attacked the friendly forces beside them!
Screams of ambush rose without end. In but a short moment, half of the people General Li had brought were dead.
The Clan-Protecting Grand Formation, which had originally been broken, suddenly activated once more, enveloping all the cultivators within.
You brandished the Human Sovereign Banner in your hand, continuously reaping the Remnant Souls of the dead. The Human Sovereign Banner grew stronger and stronger, already showing signs of breaking through to a Heaven-Rank Artifact.
Boom————!
A figure fell from the nine heavens, crashing heavily to the ground. You looked and saw it was actually General Li!
“Good, very good! Your Heavenly Blade Sect actually joined hands with the Bai family. Truly impressive!”
General Li climbed up from the ground, laughing in extreme fury.
“Enough nonsense, just kill him! Delay brings trouble!”
You shouted at Ancestor Mo Yang and the Bai family Ancestor.
The two no longer delayed and directly joined hands to attack General Li.
General Li’s expression shifted slightly, and the look he gave you was filled with fury.
Afterward, you saw General Li take out a token, as if sending a voice transmission!
“Ancestor!”
You shouted in all directions, and then a figure appeared beside you. It was none other than the Tribulation Transcendence great expert you had just dug out from the Forbidden Grounds, Ancestor Kongyou!
“Leave it to this old one.”
Ancestor Kongyou used a great divine ability to seal off the space here, so that no information could be transmitted out!
Boom————!
General Li was sent flying once again. At this moment, he had no heart to care about his own injuries at all. Looking at the token in his hand, he was utterly despairing.
“How can this be?”
General Li suddenly raised his head to look, glaring at you with fury. “It’s you. It must be you!”
“I’ll kill you!!!”
Chi! The sound cut off abruptly. General Li’s head fell to the ground. He could not have been more dead.
With the leader dead, the remaining cultivators were quickly dealt with. The dust settled.
The Bai Clan Patriarch, Bai Wuqu, came before you and smiled. “Many thanks to Sect Master Ye for this. If we had not turned to the light, my Bai family would have been in danger!”
“Not at all.”
You waved your hand dismissively. “Helping you is also helping myself.”
The Bai family, as a clan that had existed for over ten thousand years, you had learned from Ancestor Mo Yang that they had at least three Tribulation Transcendence Ancestors!
With strength like that, you naturally would not clash with them head-on.
“With this matter settled, Patriarch Bai should make plans early. Beware of the Imperial Family attacking again.”
You reminded him.
“That is only natural. To be honest, my Bai family plans to migrate to the Northern Region and live in seclusion.”
“Oh?”
A flicker of surprise passed through your heart. You had not expected the Bai family to be so cautious.
“By the way, I heard Sect Master Ye also came from the Northern Region?”
The Bai family Patriarch asked.
“That’s right.”
You nodded. “The Northern Region is poor in resources. The highest cultivation there is only at the Spirit Transformation realm.”
“Heh.”
Bai Wuqu smiled. “The Northern Region is not as bad as Fellow Daoist imagines!”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
Bai Wuqu did not explain further. He handed you a storage ring, then turned and left.
You accepted the ring. Inside was the payment for your actions this time.
The Bai family departed, and everything under the Bai family’s influence that they could not take with them was taken over by the Heavenly Blade Sect!
The grand formation dispersed, and you led your people back to the sect.
“How went the battle?”
Princess Anle’s avatar appeared, looking at you with a gloomy expression.
“You have the nerve to ask!”
You flew into a rage at once, cursing loudly. “The intelligence was wrong. The Bai family had three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.”
“If not for This Sect Master’s quick reaction, my Heavenly Blade Sect would have nearly been wiped out in this battle!!!”
“You must give me an explanation for this!”
Princess Anle, who had originally come to demand answers, was stunned by your torrent of curses. She opened her mouth, and for a time she actually did not know what to say.
After a long silence, Princess Anle finally said, “Your Heavenly Blade Sect at least still has people who came back alive. But the people This Empress sent out? Wiped out to the last!”
At this point, Princess Anle’s face twisted, as if in great pain.
“I don’t care. In any case, my Heavenly Blade Sect suffered heavy losses this time. You must compensate!”
You directly resorted to shamelessness.
Princess Anle rubbed her forehead. “I know, I know. My Imperial Family will naturally give you a satisfactory explanation.”
“No explanation needed. My people have already received word. The Bai family has vanished, buildings and all.”
“The Bai family’s territory, just divide it all to my Heavenly Blade Sect as compensation.”
“Princess, how about it?”
“The Bai family fled?”
Princess Anle said in disbelief.
“That’s right. Probably afraid we would come back for another round.”
You casually made up a reason.
Princess Anle furrowed her brow and muttered to herself, “This matter is of great importance. This Empress must report it.”
“As for the Bai family’s territory, do as you please!”
Princess Anle’s avatar vanished.
“Phew, my acting is pretty good, haha!”
You smiled, quite satisfied with your performance just now.
