4: The founding ancestor was refined into a blood pill!
"Patriarch Dahe?"
Shen Xuansheng glanced at the old man, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said, "It seems you're a bit dissatisfied with me wiping out your Great River Sect!"
Patriarch Dahe: "...!"
Shen Xuansheng pointed at the Jiesheng Sect Disciples behind him and said, "Patriarch Dahe, I just said I would destroy your Great River Sect. My Junior Brothers and sisters behind me all heard it."
"If I don't destroy the Great River Sect, wouldn't I, as their Eldest Senior Brother, be breaking my word in front of all my Junior Brothers and sisters?"
"Patriarch Dahe, you actually want me to become a person without benevolence or righteousness. What are your intentions?"
Shen Xuansheng suddenly rebuked.
Patriarch Dahe looked strangely at the indignant Shen Xuansheng, and even glanced down at the Great River Sect Disciples who were being slaughtered below.
Is this right?
"Boy, enough is enough. Otherwise, even if the Jie Sheng Sect Master arrives in person, I will certainly slay you here!" As Patriarch Dahe finished speaking, the magic power on his body surged like a tsunami, howling through the heavens and earth, pressing down on Shen Xuansheng with immense pressure.
"What are you?"
The Life-Slaying Sword flashed and appeared in front of Shen Xuansheng, blocking Patriarch Dahe's pressure: "Old geezer, you dare to speak so arrogantly?"
"If the Sect Revered Master came, an old thing like you wouldn't even have the right to kneel, let alone slay Old Shen?"
"Who gave you the courage? Was it the Heavenly Dao?"
Shen Xuansheng immediately said, "Brother Sheng, kill him!"
The Life-Slaying Sword's body trembled, and an endless Sword Intent suddenly erupted: "A mere low-grade Immortal dares to act presumptuously before us. You simply deserve to die!"
"Taste your Sword Grandpa's Sword Intent Lotus!"
As soon as the Life-Slaying Sword finished speaking, the infinite Sword Intent actually transformed into physical lotuses. One by one, azure lotuses descended like gifts from heaven, surrounding Patriarch Dahe.
"You've gone too far!!"
Seeing this, Patriarch Dahe shouted angrily, "Waters of the Great River, Overwhelm Heaven and Earth!"
The Life-Slaying Sword only spoke indifferently.
"Sword Intent Lotus, Explode!"
"Blow this old thing to death for me!!"
Boom!!
Boom!!!
In an instant,
Heaven and earth fell silent, space shattered, and the buildings of the Great River Sect turned to fly ash at a visible speed. Even the Great River Sect Disciples caught in the aftermath didn't even have a chance to scream before being torn apart.
"Ah~~~~~~~~!"
From the center of the Sword Intent, Patriarch Dahe's miserable screams echoed.
Seeing this, Shen Xuansheng raised a hand: "great sun furnace, refine him for me!"
The great sun furnace flipped over, taking Patriarch Dahe directly inside.
At that moment, Shen Xuansheng clearly felt the magic power in his body being drained instantly, and his body staggered.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
Seeing Shen Xuansheng's state, Zhou Ziyi immediately supported him, her voice full of worry.
Shen Xuansheng took a deep breath, his face turning pale.
"Old Shen, what kind of gadget is this now?" the Life-Slaying Sword asked curiously, circling around the great sun furnace.
Shen Xuansheng clenched his palm, the great sun furnace shattered, leaving behind only a blood-colored Medicinal Pill.
"Ordinary Cultivators will only be refined into fly ash inside here, but if there is immortal essence in their body, they will be refined into this kind of Blood Pill," Shen Xuansheng said.
The Life-Slaying Sword touched the Blood Pill.
"The blood qi is thick, without a hint of evil energy. If eaten, it can take a creature's blood qi to the next level."
"Old Shen, where did you get such a good thing?"
"Old Shen, I know a few old fellows in the Kunlun Sect who are about to die. How about I take you there to refine them all..." the Life-Slaying Sword said excitedly, flying in front of Shen Xuansheng.
Shen Xuansheng: "...!"
Zhou Ziyi: "...!"
"Brother Sheng, do you think I could survive if I did that?" Shen Xuansheng said speechlessly.
Refining the Immortals of the Kunlun Sect?
Did he think his life was too long?
The Life-Slaying Sword sighed, seemingly with some regret.
"This item is not bad; I shall take it."
Just as Shen Xuansheng was about to collect the Blood Pill, a large hand carrying Sword Intent suddenly appeared in the air and snatched it away. As a ray of light fell upon the Life-Slaying Sword, it lost control and was also snatched away.
"Old Shen, I still know one more place..."
"Shut up!"
That voice scolded lightly.
Shen Xuansheng said respectfully, "Thank you, Revered Master!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, the Sect Revered Master was also watching?" Zhou Ziyi couldn't quite believe it. They had come to destroy a Sect just because a Divine Palace Realm Disciple was nearly killed. Such a thing was common in other Sects.
Yet they had deployed the treasure of an entire peak to carry out a Sect extermination.
"The Great River Sect intended to kill a Disciple of our Sect; this is the consequence. Since Revered Master brought out the Life-Slaying Sword, it means that Revered Master approves of what we are doing," Shen Xuansheng said.
"Clear out the Great River Sect's treasury."
Shen Xuansheng's eyes crinkled with a smile.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I wonder how this treasury should be divided?" Zhou Ziyi asked.
Their God Slaying Peak followed Shen Xuansheng everywhere to carry out killings, so they couldn't work for nothing every time!
Everyone needs to Cultivate.
"For cultivation resources, God Slaying Peak takes fifty percent. For treasures and Cultivation Techniques, thirty percent. The rest will be turned over to the Sect's treasury!"
When the Disciples of God Slaying Peak heard this, they immediately became excited.
Fifty percent of a whole Sect's cultivation resources—what a massive harvest that was!!
"Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!!"
The voices shattered the clouds in the sky. All that remained were a few ruins of the Great River Sect and the corpses on the ground... The news of the Great River Sect's destruction spread throughout the Eastern Continent the very next day.
Although some were dissatisfied, facing the Jiesheng Sect, they could only act as if nothing had happened. How those other Sects taught their Disciples was their own business.
At almost the same time.
All the major Sects added another rule.
"Whenever you encounter Disciples of the Jiesheng Sect while fighting for treasures, stay the hell away from them!!!"
Because of one Divine Palace Realm Disciple, the Great River Sect was directly wiped out.
This wasn't just being protective; this was clearly just finding the Great River Sect an eyesore!!
...One month later.
Jiesheng Sect.
Main Hall.
Shen Xuansheng looked at the Transparent Person before him: "Revered Master, I feel that my care for my Junior Brothers and sisters is still not enough. After all, it's too dangerous outside; they can't always hold out until I arrive."
As soon as Shen Xuansheng finished speaking.
His body was blasted flying away.
"Although you have managed the Sect's affairs well, do less of this Sect-exterminating business in the future."
"After all..."
Shen Xuansheng climbed up from the ground: "Revered Master, what about my Blood Pill?"
The Transparent Person shook his head slightly: "The Kunlun Sect was, after all, founded by my Senior Brother. It's a bit inappropriate to refine their Immortals."
"I know of a Sect that has two Immortals on the verge of perishing."
"Their Origins are too heavily damaged, and they have less than a hundred years of Lifespan left. It would be a waste for them to just perish; you might as well refine them."
Shen Xuansheng: "Uh!"
"Revered Master, didn't you say to do less of this Sect-exterminating business?"
Transparent Person: "Did I tell you to go destroy a Sect?"
"The treasures of the world belong to those who are virtuous."
"I have calculated that a stalk of huaxu grass will soon mature. This huaxu grass is destined for our Sect..."
"Go and get it!"
Shen Xuansheng was stunned, then said, "But Revered Master, my strength isn't quite up to it!"
The Transparent Person vanished completely.
"I bestow upon you the Life-Slaying Sword."
Shen Xuansheng: "Thank you, Revered Master!!"
At the same time.
In Shen Xuansheng's mind, the System's voice rang out.
"Congratulations, Host, for completing the 'Backer' task."
"Distributing rewards..."
