Chapter 79: Pig Anus Opens!
“Disciples of the War Execution Bureau, your duty is to guard the outer perimeter of the beach. If you detect any spatial fluctuations, report them immediately!”
“Law Enforcement Bureau, Commerce Administration, and Spirit Puppet Bureau, clean up the battlefield at once.”
“Remember, all third-rank demon beasts have demon cores. Do not leave a single one behind!”
On the southeastern coast, the busy disciples of the Chaotian Sect were currently cleaning the battlefield alongside thousands of puppets.
The vast beach had now become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Mixed within were the wreckage of all kinds of puppets…
By the coast, on a relatively flat stretch of open ground, a large tent appeared out of thin air.
Inside the tent, Lu Qingyang studied the spell formation sand table of the southeastern coast, a hint of gravity between his brows.
“I never imagined the Central Region would be this densely populated.”
“A single stretch of coastline several thousand li long holds hundreds of thousands of mortal commoners.”
“How to settle them is troublesome…”
After several decades of development, the Chaotian Sect had only just over fifty thousand disciples.
And each year, the recruitment requirements grew higher and higher.
Meanwhile, after years of accumulation, the entire Tiangong Island held only close to five hundred thousand mortals.
If all these displaced southeastern commoners were brought back to Tiangong Island, its carrying capacity would clearly be insufficient.
But if he did nothing, it would violate the Council Decree of the Sect Management Council.
Moreover, Lu Qingyang could not bear to see these commoners die in the mouths of beasts.
“Ah, this is difficult.”
Lu Qingyang furrowed his brow and took out a jade talisman.
This was a Council Decree jade talisman from the Sect Management Council.
Inside were just two requirements:
One: Protect the mortals, hold the southeastern coast.
Two: Kill demons.
“After this battle, the soil of the southeastern coast has been tainted by demon blood. Even if no monstrosities are born in the future, miasma will run rampant. It is no longer suitable for survival.”
“The commoners here have no choice but to become refugees. They can only migrate elsewhere, or they will surely suffer heavy casualties.”
“Fine. If there is no other way, I will bring them all back to Tiangong Island.”
Lu Qingyang sighed. In the end, he decided to take all these people away.
After all, they had already lost their homes. If they had no place left to shelter, they really would be pitiful.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyang picked up his transmission jade talisman and sent a message to Old Huang, who was currently settling the mortal commoners.
“Old Huang, send all the mortal commoners on the southeastern coast to Tiangong Island by Dharma Ship.”
“Your disciple respectfully obeys the Sect Master’s decree!”
Soon, Old Huang’s respectful voice came through the jade talisman.
“Hoo… with the commoners sent away, all that’s left is that pack of animals.”
After hearing Old Huang’s reply, Lu Qingyang slowly let out a turbid breath, his gaze cold.
According to the intelligence sent by the Sect Management Council.
The Vast Sea City was currently locked in fierce battle with the main force of the Demon Race.
At this moment, seventy percent of all the Mahayana Venerables in Qingnan Shengzhou were within that giant city.
As for the rest of the region, the demon beasts appearing in places like the southeastern coast were all minor tribes among the Demon Race.
Just like the Flame Pig Tribe that the Chaotian Sect had slaughtered during the day.
Among the Demon Race, they were a tribe so small it could not be any smaller. They had not even produced a single sixth-rank great demon.
But even so, they still possessed a shocking number of third-rank and fourth-rank demon beasts.
“The Flame Pig Tribe has suffered a huge loss. They definitely will not let this go.”
“There may be a fierce counterattack later.”
Lu Qingyang narrowed his eyes and began to calculate.
“According to the rules of the Sect Management Council, all spoils from killing demons belong to our sect.”
“Beyond that, for every third-rank or higher demon beast, one can exchange its demon core and rank for Council Merit Points. With these points, one can exchange for items and resources at the Sect Management Council!”
“It is said that even Mahayana Venerables can be exchanged for!”
Lu Qingyang murmured softly, thoughts surging in his mind.
This demon attack might be an opportunity for the Chaotian Sect to soar into the heavens!
Not only could they temper their disciples, they could also accumulate massive resources.
After all, when it came to large-scale sect warfare, Lu Qingyang dared to claim there was no one within his own rank who could match him.
But just as Lu Qingyang was lost in thought, a clamorous noise suddenly came from the distance.
What followed were several powerful pressures that instantly shrouded the entire coast.
“Hm? They’ve come!”
Lu Qingyang’s expression shifted slightly. He abruptly turned and flashed out of the tent.
There, on the distant coastline, another pitch-black rift had abruptly appeared on the beach!
“I am rather curious as well. Where did the Demon Race get a method to cross the void?”
“With their little bit of intelligence, could they really have developed a teleportation formation?”
Lu Qingyang narrowed his eyes, doubt in his heart.
Back when Venerable Xuanji launched a surprise attack on the Great Zhou, he had been extremely puzzled.
After all, he had once asked Great Vehicle Ma, and the other party had also said that no Mahayana Venerable could tear open the void and cross a major region with their physical body alone.
In other words, Venerable Xuanji had relied on some kind of teleportation method to reach the Great Zhou.
He simply did not know where these demon races had obtained such teleportation methods.
Tossing the doubts from his mind.
Lu Qingyang summoned Jiangxin and gave a grim order.
“Give the order. The entire sect is to prepare for battle. I want this batch of demon beasts to come and never return!”
“Yes, Master!”
Jiangxin accepted the order and began to arrange the battle.
At the same time, deep within the rift, a burly figure was fiercely rallying the countless pig demons before him.
“Children! Over there lies human territory! There are fresh, delicious human cultivators!”
“Those weak, pitiful human cultivators will all become food for the great Flame Pig Tribe!”
“Kill! For our descendants, slaughter those lowly human cultivators!”
“Awooo~!!”
In an instant, countless pig demons roared in unison, their momentum shaking all directions.
“Hmph. That trash Pig Butt Split. A dignified fifth-rank great demon, and he actually died in such a remote human place.”
“Only those boys who followed him suffered.”
“I want to see just what is so different about this place!”
“I, Zhu Gangkai, am only one step away from sixth-rank. As long as I do not run into a human Return-to-Void cultivator, these ant-like mortals cannot do anything to me!”
“Hahahaha~~~”
Thinking of this, the burly figure immediately burst into wild laughter.
Then he wiggled his fat buttocks and headed toward the nearby spatial rift.
“Awoo~”
A host of pig demons also clamored and followed.
Soon.
The burly figure stepped into the spatial rift.
Weng—
The moment he stepped out, this burly figure named Zhu Gangkai saw twenty massive figures, dyed crimson with demon blood, staring at him indifferently from afar.
“Hm?”
Zhu Gangkai’s eyes abruptly widened.
He swore.
This was the first time he had ever felt such a terrifying gaze.
Although those twenty massive human puppets were not stronger than him in aura.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable panic.
He finally understood how his clan brother, Pig Butt Split, had died.
He also knew that if he did not leave now, he very likely would die too.
Perhaps he really would be split open…
“Roar!”
Instinctively letting out a furious howl, Zhu Gangkai prepared to turn and step back into the rift.
“Crack!”
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
A transformed demon beast was far too conspicuous among a beast horde. Not only had the twenty Spirit-Puppet Vajra controlled by Jiangxin discovered it.
Even Lu Qingyang had noticed this newly arrived transformed demon beast.
“Hm? Another fifth-rank demon beast.”
Good, good. According to the Sect Management Council’s point system, a fifth-rank demon beast is worth five points. At minimum, that can be exchanged for five hundred thousand spirit stones.
“Jiangxin, grind it up for me!”
Lu Qingyang gave a light shout and issued the command.
“Yes, Master!”
As his words fell, the twenty blood-soaked ‘towering brutes’ charged straight toward Zhu Gangkai…
