Chapter 116: Dao Sect Disciples Fear No Death, Daozi Grieves!

Between strengthening themselves and befriending others, those Sects jealous of Qiankun Taoist Sect chose to stab them in the back.

As long as the Qiankun Taoist Sect was destroyed, two High Grade Spiritual States would become vacant, and there would be one less Sect suppressing them.

For many Sects in Qiongsang, this was a great thing.

Although Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace was hailed as the number one Sect in Qiongsang, its overall strength was only slightly superior to that of Qiankun Taoist Sect.

With a Sect that had caught up to them in just seven hundred years, how could Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace allow Qiankun Taoist Sect to grow stronger?

...

“Junior Brother Yun, you go first, we’ll hold these guys back!”

Above a small town with scarce Life Qi, three Dao Sect Disciples were besieged by over a dozen Demonic Path Cultivators. One blue-robed Disciple self-detonated a Magical Artifact, tearing open a gap in the encirclement and forcefully sending the Junior Brother Yun behind him out.

Seeing the gap torn open by his Senior Brother being sealed again, Junior Brother Yun’s eyes turned bloodshot, but he didn’t look back. Disregarding his own injuries, he forcefully consumed his vital essence and used the Blood Escape Spell to quickly flee.

He couldn’t waste the opportunity his Senior Brother had bought him; he had to inform the Elders of the Demonic Cultivators’ conspiracy!

“Not good, don’t let that guy escape! You few, go catch him!”

The leading Demonic Cultivator saw someone using Blood Escape and coldly ordered his subordinates to pursue.

“Dream on!”

The blue-robed Disciple roared in anger. He exchanged glances with his fellow Disciple beside him, both seeing the determination in each other’s eyes.

The next moment, two extremely violent surges of magical power erupted, shaking everything in all directions and causing the faces of the Demonic Cultivators to change drastically. The leading Demonic Cultivator looked at the two Dao Sect Disciples as if they were madmen, retreating repeatedly.

“This! Are you crazy? Don’t you want to live?!”

“Hahaha! We Cultivators eliminate demons and protect the Dao; why fear death?!”

“Indeed, Senior Brother Ye, with you by my side, I won’t be alone even in death!”

Boom!!!

With two loud bangs, the two Dao Sect Disciples bravely self-detonated. The violent magical power swept through the sky and ground, directly leveling the small town. Some nearby Demonic Cultivators were annihilated, and the other Demonic Cultivators were also seriously injured.

“Damn it! These Dao Sect Disciples are crazier than us! They self-detonate at the slightest provocation. Are we the Demonic Path, or are they the Demonic Path?!”

The leading Demonic Cultivator threw aside the mangled corpse of a subordinate who had actively blocked him, still shaken and looking extremely grim.

This wasn’t the first time they had encountered a self-detonation.

He hadn’t expected the Disciples of Qiankun Taoist Sect to be so insane, not even fearing death. They would self-detonate at the drop of a hat, even more brutal and reckless than those in the Demonic Path!

“Deacon, should we still pursue?”

A heavily injured Demonic Cultivator asked the Deacon. The Deacon glanced in the direction of Junior Brother Yun’s Blood Escape, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:

“No, we won’t pursue. That direction leads to a gathering point of the Qiankun Taoist Sect, where there are Elders of the Qiankun Taoist Sect. With such severe injuries, he’s as good as dead after using Blood Escape. There’s no need to chase further. Let’s go back and report.”

After the Deacon finished speaking, he led the remaining Demonic Cultivators away quickly.

A moment later, a Golden Dragon descended. Gu Shengge sensed the lingering Dao Sect magical power, his brows slightly furrowed.

A Dao Sect Disciple had self-detonated here!

Dao Sect Disciples had always preferred death over surrender. Rather than being captured by Demonic Cultivators, it was more satisfying to self-detonate and take a few Demonic Cultivators with them.

However, under normal circumstances, Dao Sect Disciples would not choose to self-detonate unless the enemy outnumbered them by several times and there was no hope of retreat, only then would they do so.

“This scent of blood, it’s Blood Escape!”

Gu Shengge’s heart tightened. The Qiankun Taoist Sect’s Blood Escape, also known as “Lifeless Blood Escape,” was a more overbearing escape method than ordinary Blood Escape.

Once used, unless a powerful Cultivator forcefully stopped it, even the caster could not deactivate it until the last drop of vital essence was squeezed dry.

Another self-detonation, and a Blood Escape.

The appearance of these two desperate methods at the same time indicated that extremely important intelligence had been transmitted!

Without time to think further, Gu Shengge put away the Golden Dragon and, following the Blood Escape trail, transformed into a silver lightning bolt and pursued.

A few breaths later, Gu Shengge “saw” a figure using Blood Escape, but his condition was very poor. He was too heavily injured to even maintain the Blood Escape.

Swish!!

A large hand condensed from the power of heaven and earth forcefully captured the Blood Escape figure. At the same time, Gu Shengge used his great magical power to sever the Blood Escape Spell in his body that was continuously consuming his vital essence.

“Dao… Daozi…”

Yun Mu, whose Blood Escape had been stopped, barely managed to lift his head. Although his vision was blurred by blood, he still recognized Gu Shengge. He spoke with difficulty, his weak voice entering Gu Shengge’s ears.

Looking at Yun Mu, who was on the verge of death, covered in wounds, with depleted magical power, and his vital essence almost completely drained, a hint of sorrow appeared in Gu Shengge’s profound eyes.

Not caring about the bloodstains on him, Gu Shengge quickly helped him up.

At the same time, the Divine Ability of Jumang Ancestral Witch was cast, bringing all things back to life and healing Yun Mu’s injuries.

“Daozi, save Senior Brother Ye, save them, save them…”

Yun Mu, who had just recovered a little Life Qi, disregarded his internal injuries and pleaded sorrowfully for Gu Shengge to go and rescue his Senior Brother Ye and the other Disciple who had helped him break through.

Blood stained Gu Shengge’s robes, and Gu Shengge’s expression changed slightly. He knew who the Senior Brother Ye mentioned by this Junior Brother was.

Gu Shengge looked sad and truthfully said, “I’m sorry, Junior Brother, they… they self-detonated…”

Upon hearing this, Yun Mu fell silent. He knew that Senior Brother Ye and the others would most likely self-detonate, but he still wanted to try, just wanted to try.

A moment later, with the help of the Ancestral Witch’s Divine Ability, Yun Mu, who had recovered from a portion of his injuries, took out a projection jade slip and handed it to Gu Shengge.

“Daozi, this is the Demonic Cultivators’ conspiracy that we secretly investigated. My injuries are too severe, and I cannot return to the Sect. Please hand it over to the Sect for me.”

Gu Shengge took the projection jade slip. He then gave some Medicinal Pills to Yun Mu and instructed him:

“These Medicinal Pills can help you recover. I’ll take you to meet with the nearest Elder. Once you’ve recovered, then you can slaughter demons for revenge.”

“Mm!” Yun Mu nodded. He wouldn’t foolishly go seeking revenge on those Demonic Cultivators.

He wanted to survive and kill more Demonic Cultivators, using their lives to console the self-detonated Senior Brother Ye and Senior Brother Wu!

Gu Shengge took out a Spiritual Boat and, bringing Yun Mu, headed to the nearest Dao Sect stronghold.

Along the way, Gu Shengge also learned many matters concerning demon eradication from Yun Mu.

After the Sect issued the demon eradication mission, the Dao Sect Disciples were dispatched en masse, spreading throughout the Qiankun Double States to clear out Demonic Cultivators.

Initially, they all thought this demon eradication mission was like previous ones, just a small-scale Demonic Cultivator invasion. But as time went on, they realized that this was no longer as simple as just a Demonic Cultivator invasion.

Because many Dao Sect Disciples discovered that hidden among the Demonic Cultivators was another, no, several Sects!

“Several Sects?”

Gu Shengge was slightly surprised. Sure enough, it was as he had thought, not just Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace!

Yun Mu nodded: “Mm, although they tried their best to conceal their magical power, under the Qiankun Borrowing Spell Divine Ability, we still detected them. The Elders tallied them, and there are a total of five.”

The Qiankun Borrowing Spell Divine Ability was the founding Divine Ability of the Qiankun Taoist Sect. It could borrow the Spells, Divine Abilities, and even magical power of all Sects. Therefore, the Qiankun Taoist Sect was particularly sensitive to the magical power and Divine Abilities of other Sects, able to distinguish which Sect a person belonged to through their magical power.

Gu Shengge: “Which Sects are they?”

“Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, Myriad Star Sect…”
