49: Daily intelligence: Kill Chen Buyu!
Because his move was a desperate gamble.
If Wang Li's teleportation array hadn't been used by the Tianqi Sect Elders returning.
Then the unsuspecting Demonic Cultivators would have killed these thousand-plus commoners to sacrifice them to the Moon Demon!
If it reached that point, should he intervene or not?
If he intervened, with a Golden Core Stage Cultivator present, he would likely just be throwing his life away.
But if he didn't intervene, letting a thousand people die here to revive the Moon Demon's remnant soul was a result Chen Xian was unwilling to see.
His only hope now was that the timing in the intelligence report was accurate.
That Tianqi Sect truly had Elders coming!
At the same time!
The Demonic Cultivator leading them, at the second layer of the Golden Core Stage, slowly stood before the thousand-plus Demonic Cultivators.
Everyone stared at this man in unison.
“Everyone! I am Sun Buxiu, a Demon General hidden in the North Continent! Our Demonic Cultivators have endured for a hundred years. Now that the Vessel has undergone Awakening, it is time to summon Lord Moon Demon!”
He looked at the thousand terrified faces under the moonlight.
And revealed a cruel smile.
“I now declare, the sacrifice ceremony begins now!”
Chen Xian: “...”
What enduring humiliation?
What Vessel?
So much nonsense, do you need me to set off some firecrackers for you?
“Come, drive them onto the sacrificial altar!”
Following his command, the Demonic Cultivators began driving the commoners toward the altar.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xian’s hand slowly rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Although he knew it was an act against overwhelming odds, he was unwilling to see these thousand people perish!
Just then.
A burst of light suddenly emanated from the sacrificial altar!
The dazzling light instantly pierced the night sky.
Attracting the attention of everyone present.
What’s going on?
While these Demonic Cultivators and commoners were stunned.
Four figures appeared on the altar.
These four old men wore gray robes, their expressions cold, but they were clearly stunned upon seeing the scene before them!
As their eyes met.
Sun Buxiu saw the jade pendants hanging on their waists.
And instinctively said, “Tianqi Sect?”
“Demonic Cultivators?”
Identity confirmed!
The four Tianqi Sect Elders attacked Sun Buxiu without hesitation.
Although Sun Buxiu was a Golden Core Stage expert, facing four Elders from the Tianqi Sect, all of whom were also at the Golden Core Stage, simultaneously.
His pressure instantly increased tenfold!
“I have no feud with your Tianqi Sect! Why attack immediately?”
“Heh, Demonic Cultivators are to be executed by everyone under heaven, what is wrong with that?”
Although the four Elders didn't know why Wang Li placed their teleportation array here.
But since they stumbled upon this, they could not stand idly by when facing Demonic Cultivators!
Instantly, both sides began to fight fiercely.
Although the Tianqi Sect only had four people, facing the Demonic Cultivators, they were like fierce tigers entering a flock of sheep, imposing and aggressive.
Chen Xian watched this scene, exclaiming with satisfaction.
“Satisfying, so satisfying!”
“It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses, but if one side was completely wiped out, that would also be good!”
Regardless of the outcome.
It was beneficial to Chen Xian.
However, he was not idle either.
These four from the Tianqi Sect, though powerful, were stretched thin.
With a thousand Demonic Cultivators, they could only focus on attacking the stronger ones among them.
The rest scattered like startled birds, fleeing in all directions.
How could Chen Xian let such a good opportunity slip by!
With the elephant bone sword in hand!
He continuously reaped heads in the darkness.
Every time one was killed.
The accompanying Blood-Devouring Array would suck them completely dry.
As for the storage rings on these Demonic Cultivators, Chen Xian snatched them and threw them directly towards Da Huang.
Da Huang was equally capable and swallowed them in one gulp.
The Celestial Dog lineage, rumored to be capable of swallowing the moon.
Although Da Huang couldn't achieve that, serving as a super large storage chest was more than enough!
Deep in the night, killing intent persisted.
Until an hour later!
Sun Buxiu's neck was snapped under someone's foot.
The great battle finally drew to a close.
“Let’s go!”
“Huh? Aren't we going to deal with these ordinary people?”
Facing the question raised by one of the Elders, the remaining three laughed heartily.
“Elder Eighteen, these weaklings being captured here is their fate. Why should we bother with them!”
“We should hurry to Jubei City to ask the Young Lord what exactly he intends to do, and why he teleported us into a den of Demonic Cultivators!”
“Then let’s go!”
The four of them quickly vanished into the forest.
The remaining thousand-plus commoners all showed expressions of terror.
Although they had just escaped the tiger's den and would not be sacrificed.
They were far from being able to rest easy now.
“What should we do now? Even Cultivators don't dare to venture randomly in the Beast Forest at night!”
“With so many of us here, are we doomed?”
One strong young man shouted boldly, “Since it’s death anyway, we might as well fight! Maybe there’s a way out!”
“Besides, the Beast Forest doesn't just have great Yao Beasts, it has small ones too. With so many of us, we can’t possibly lose!”
Ye Da showed an embarrassed look on his face.
If they had charged forward bravely earlier, they wouldn't be in this mess now.
Now that everyone had lost their will to fight, how could they possibly walk out alive!
At this moment, a dark figure appeared before the crowd.
“If you continue to stand still here, you will likely never leave alive!”
“Ah?”
When the crowd saw a person suddenly appear, the leader, Ye Da, instinctively asked, “May I ask who Your Excellency is?”
Chen Xian sneered.
“The one saving you.”
He picked up the elephant bone sword at his waist.
And swung a sword in one direction.
A vast Sword Qi instantly carved a path through the forest.
Although it wasn't wide, it gave these people hope!
“Walk out along this path, and you can return to Jubei City!”
Although they didn't know who this man was, walking along this path was certainly better than waiting here to die!
With this thought, they hurriedly left the place.
As for Chen Xian, after seeing them all leave.
He let out a sigh of relief.
“Heh heh, although the Demonic Cultivators were heavily defeated and failed to summon the Moon Demon, the troubles posed by Ye Wentian and Wang Li still exist.”
Thinking of this, a cold sneer appeared on Chen Xian’s face.
“However, if they are present, tomorrow's show will be even better!”
With this thought, he did not return to Jubei City, but instead, under the moonlight, he familiarized himself with the power brought by the elephant bone sword!
The next morning!
Chen Xian slowly opened his eyes!
【Ding! Daily Intelligence has been reorganized!】
【Daily Intelligence 1: Wang Li and the four Elders plan to assassinate Chen Buyu tonight, frame it as the work of Demonic Cultivators, and plot a coup!】
Chen Xian’s expression tightened!
Damn it, these guys from the Tianqi Sect, Wang Li and the others, are truly audacious.
He was just wondering how Wang Li and the others planned to seize power.
Now it seemed they actually planned to seize power physically, using the purest form of violence to replace people!
