436: The War of Extermination

"Our Wuding Sect is a force under the Flying Feather Holy Sect! How can they indiscriminately send a massive army to our borders?!"

"It's over! It's over! Our Wuding Sect is finished! Sect Master, what on earth have you been doing?!"

Seeing the doomsday-like scene above the firmament, the Cultivators of the Wuding Sect lost all Battle Intent, standing in place as their emotions completely collapsed.

Hundreds of thousands of Cultivators had descended here, exuding vast killing intent; they were clearly not here as guests!

They were clearly here to destroy the Sect!

The Cultivators of the Wuding Sect had no idea why they had provoked the Flying Feather Holy Sect, causing them to send people directly to destroy the Sect.

Just at this moment, among the hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, an old man stood in the Void Realm, looking down at the scene below with an indifferent expression, and spoke loudly.

"By the order of the Saint!"

"The Wuding Sect killed seven of our Sect's Disciples, and their Holy Son Candidate and Saintess are both Demonic Cultivators!"

"The Sect Master of the Wuding Sect harbors hidden malice and protects Demonic Cultivators; he has truly turned his back on the Righteous Path."

"Because all the Disciples under him have been beguiled by Demonic Cultivators and are beyond saving, today, we shall slaughter the demons! Destroy the Sect!"

"Decree!"

After the old man finished speaking, he threw the Dharma Decree in his hand directly into the Void Realm.

Boom, boom, boom...

After the Dharma Decree escaped into the Void Realm, peals of thunder resounded across heaven and earth, causing the entire Wuding Sect, and even the entire great star, to tremble.

The Cultivators of the Wuding Sect looked at the army above the Void Realm in disbelief.

What had they heard?

The Sect Master protected Demonic Cultivators? The Saintess and the Holy Son Candidate were both Demonic Cultivators?

How is that possible!!!

And killed Cultivators of the Flying Feather Holy Sect...

Huh?!

Some Cultivators seemed to recall that previously, a few Disciples from the Flying Feather Holy Sect had come to the Wuding Sect to perform a mission. They seemed to have had a conflict with some Disciples and eventually disappeared within the Sect.

Could those few Disciples of the Flying Feather Holy Sect really have been killed by their people?!

Some Cultivators who knew the inside story turned pale.

It's over, the incident has been exposed!

The people from the Flying Feather Holy Sect have uncovered the truth!

"I withdraw from the Wuding Sect!!! Let me out! I am no longer a person of the Wuding Sect!"

"That's right! I disdain to associate with such a Demonic Sect! I want to withdraw!"

"Let me go! Let me go!!!"

The Cultivators of the Flying Feather Holy Sect had completely surrounded the Wuding Sect. Seeing this scene, many Cultivators had already collapsed, crying and begging to withdraw from the Wuding Sect.

But the Saint's order was to destroy the Sect, slaughter the demons, and leave no one alive!

Under such an order, how could the people of the Flying Feather Holy Sect possibly let these people go?

Hum...

Following a tremor that shook the earth, the entire Wuding Sect was enveloped in a layer of golden light; this was an Ancient Formation!

The people of the Flying Feather Holy Sect had already set up the Ancient Formation, so not a single person could escape. Anyone who tried to force their way through the Formation would be instantly vaporized by the runes on the Formation, turning into ash.

Now, it was completely a case of catching a turtle in a jar.

The Cultivators of the Wuding Sect all wanted to rush into the Sect Master's peak to ask their Sect Master what was going on?!

Why had they provoked the Flying Feather Holy Sect? But they were already in chaos at this moment, and had even started attacking their own people.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

The old man above the Void Realm looked at the chaotic scene below with disdain. Just at this moment, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared beside him.

"Elder Wan, is this really okay?"

The person who arrived was Liu Yao. As the Saintess, she naturally had the qualifications to participate in the battle, but seeing those despairing and crazed faces below, she couldn't help but feel a bit of pity.

Hearing this, Elder Wan said softly, "Saintess, in the contention of the Great Era, there is no room for the slightest mistake; otherwise, even a top-tier Daoist tradition could be destroyed forever."

"Since our Sect has already entrusted the Luck of the Great Era to the Saint, we must naturally follow the Saint's order unconditionally."

"And you also heard it; the Wuding Sect is full of Demonic Cultivators!"

"Are they Demonic Cultivators?"

There was a hint of confusion in Liu Yao's beautiful eyes. Because of her background, she detested Demonic Cultivators deeply.

However, looking at those faces below, she could not connect these people with Demonic Cultivators no matter how hard she tried.

"Saintess..."

Elder Wan looked at Liu Yao, his aged yet bright eyes carrying a hint of deep meaning: "If the Saint says they are Demonic Cultivators, then they are Demonic Cultivators!"

"..."

Liu Yao did not speak. She had heard Duanmu Yu say this sentence before, but at that time, she hadn't understood the true meaning of those words.

Now that she heard it again, she seemed to understand a little.

"I understand, Elder Wan. Lead the people... and slaughter them!"

When she said this, a flash of red light appeared in Liu Yao's beautiful eyes.

Elder Wan nodded with satisfaction, then turned and shouted to the Cultivators, "By the Saintess's order! Destroy the Sect! Slaughter the demons!!!"

"Destroy the Sect! Slaughter the demons!!!"

"Destroy the Sect! Slaughter the demons!!!"

Hundreds of thousands of Cultivators roared in unison, and that surge of Battle Intent caused the mountains below to crumble.

...

Inside the main hall at this moment, the Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect had clearly noticed the hundreds of thousands of Cultivators above the firmament.

He looked at the scene before him in a daze.

He spoke tremblingly, "Is—is this really going to destroy my Wuding Sect?"

The Elders also immediately gathered around.

"Sect Master, what should we do now!!! We definitely can't stop the Flying Feather Holy Sect!"

"I said it before! Hand over Ye Xi and proactively admit our guilt, but none of you listened to me. What do we do now?! Our Wuding Sect is about to be exterminated!"

"We are the sinners of the Sect!!!"

Sounds of despair and crying were endless.

But not a single person spoke of fighting to the death.

The reason was that the gap between the enemy and themselves was simply too vast—so vast that one was a heaven-reaching giant, and the other was like an ant; they simply could not be compared.

The Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect suppressed his grief and went directly to stand before Lin Ye.

"Saint Lin! Please! Please forgive us!!!"

The Sect Leader of the Wu Ding Sect understood that at this point, it was all because of the man before him. If he wanted to save the Wuding Sect, only he could speak.

Yin Rourou, who had been slumped on the ground, also stood up. Enduring the pain in her body and the humiliation in her heart, she came before Lin Ye and knelt down directly.

"Saint Lin, we know we were wrong! I am willing to pay any compensation; I hope you will show mercy!"

"Any compensation?"

Lin Ye looked at Yin Rourou before him with great interest and teased, "I still prefer your arrogant and unruly appearance from before."

"You speak of compensation, then I would like to ask, how will you compensate for the lives of my Junior Brother and Junior Sister?"

"I... I... I..."

Yin Rourou said the word "I" three times in a row, then gritted her teeth and said, "My Wuding Sect will offer half of its resources to compensate the Flying Feather Holy Sect, and I am also willing to be a slave and a maid to serve you, Saint Lin!"

"Shameless!!!"

Just at this moment, Liu Yao appeared beside Lin Ye. She looked at Yin Rourou before her with an angry face.

Offering to be a slave and a maid, who agreed to that?!
