315: Chapter 315 Annihilation of a Sect
Gu Chang'an calculated the time; it would take about ten breaths from releasing the bait until Situ Kong was lured over.
Because the last time Situ Kong appeared was about five breaths later, and now he was in the lair of the Corpse Refining Sect.
So, this time it should take about ten breaths to arrive.
Gu Chang'an seized the time and released Situ Xing again, the grandson of the Nascent Soul Ancestor Situ Kong.
Since he had already offended them, he might as well kill them all.
Gu Chang'an wanted to verify once more whether the information he had just obtained was true!
The result was that Situ Xing was also devoured by the supreme-grade ten thousand souls banner.
Gu Chang'an activated the Nine Heavens Divine Soul Art and obtained the opponent's memories.
Comparing them with his uncle's memories, he found that the locations of several treasure vaults were almost the same.
However, the route inside the underground dark river was different.
His uncle had gone straight to report.
But Situ Xing had been playing around inside, so the area he explored was actually larger than his uncle's.
Gu Chang'an memorized both sets of memories; about two breaths of time had passed.
He quickly climbed out of the black coffin and reappeared beside the strategist, taking about one breath of time!
Gu Chang'an hurriedly said, "Give orders to Old Man Corpse Mountain's two sons and two grandsons!
Tell them to wait until the battle between the Nascent Soul Cultivators."
"One is to steal the nascent soul forming pill, which is right where their Old Ancestor is in seclusion!"
"The other is to steal the undying lotus heart, also at their Old Ancestor's secluded cultivation spot!"
"Tell them that even if they steal it, their Old Ancestor won't do anything to them!"
"Conversely, if they don't act according to my orders, they will suffer a fate worse than death!"
The strategist had just noted down Gu Chang'an's instructions and hadn't had time to reply.
Gu Chang'an had already vanished!
After all, time was of the essence; he needed to run as far as he could!
The strategist dared not delay and quickly relayed the order to the four controlled individuals.
All four were struggling intensely internally.
One of them received the order while on the way to see Old Man Corpse Mountain!
But just as Gu Chang'an said, on one hand, it was their own Old Ancestor.
Even if a world-shaking event occurred, he would not take their lives!
If the treasures were lost, they were lost; they could be found again later.
But if their offspring were lost, their lineage might be cut off.
A Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestor would likely consider this familial affection and spare their lives.
But the Shadow Dust Pavilion was different!
They would not care about their lives.
In a brief moment, the four figured it out.
They prepared to execute Gu Chang'an's orders, but a battle between Nascent Soul Cultivators?
How could that happen?
When Gu Chang'an reappeared, he was already outside the city.
Blood Refining Valley was to the southwest of the Corpse Refining Sect, and the direction Situ Kong of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect would come from was also roughly that direction.
Gu Chang'an could only fly south first to avoid a head-on encounter.
After seven breaths of time passed, a terrifying Nascent Soul Stage spiritual pressure descended from above the small city behind him.
It covered the entire city.
Then, in the center of the city, another Nascent Soul Stage spiritual pressure instantly appeared.
The two Nascent Soul Stage spiritual pressures began to compress each other in the air, causing some buildings in the city to shatter.
This was most likely Old Man Corpse Mountain.
Gu Chang'an knew that Situ Kong from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect had arrived!
He dared not turn back, but his escape light speed wasn't fast.
He paused for a moment and glanced back.
Then he slightly increased his speed by ten percent and continued moving south.
This was to avoid arousing Situ Kong's suspicion as much as possible.
However, in the instant these two Nascent Soul Cultivators confronted each other,
Gu Chang'an detonated the Divine Soul of Situ Kong's last remaining son.
Situ Kong's son and Old Man Corpse Mountain's son had just arrived near where Old Man Corpse Mountain was in seclusion.
They hadn't even had time to get close!
Gu Chang'an controlled Situ Kong's son to self-detonate.
Old Man Corpse Mountain sensed the anomaly, and his Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense instantly looked over.
He saw a person about to self-detonate next to his son!
Old Man Corpse Mountain had no time to think; on one hand, he had to save his son,
and on the other, he feared collateral damage to himself!
He directly sent out a Refined Corpse of the Nascent Soul Stage, smashing the opponent's Physical Body and Divine Soul.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect Old Ancestor Situ Kong in the sky watched this entire scene unfold.
Afterward, he felt his only remaining Bloodline severed.
His last son was killed right before his eyes.
The berserk killing intent could no longer be suppressed.
Previously, he only felt that this matter might be related to Old Man Corpse Mountain.
But Old Man Corpse Mountain might not be the mastermind.
Or perhaps someone was deliberately framing him!
To incite a war between the two sects so that other Nascent Soul Cultivators could reap the benefits.
But now, none of that mattered anymore!
He had become childless!
Not to mention that once one cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, they could no longer leave behind offspring.
So let everything perish!
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect Old Ancestor Situ Kong directly summoned the ten thousand souls banner and tossed it casually towards the exact center of the small city.
It then grew larger against the wind, and violent ghost Qi covered the entire city.
Old Man Corpse Mountain roared, "Old Ghost Situ! What madness has taken you?"
Why start fighting to the death immediately?
He had tried to avoid a war between the two sects.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect Old Ancestor Situ Kong snorted coldly and directly used all his strength to urge the ten thousand souls banner.
Immediately, thirty-five Ghost Kings rushed out from the ten thousand souls banner.
Thirty-five Nascent Soul Stage spiritual pressures directly crushed Old Man Corpse Mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
Old Man Corpse Mountain saw that this situation could not end well.
He prepared to fight fiercely, but before he could fully activate the ten Refined Corpses of the Nascent Soul Stage he had released,
the thirty-five Ghost Kings of the Nascent Soul Stage charged over, and Old Man Corpse Mountain had no way to resist.
The four Nascent Soul Stage Refined Corpse guards around him had their souls directly extracted.
The souls sealed within these Refined Corpses were also of the Nascent Soul Stage; once refined into the Soul Refining Banner, they would soon become more Ghost Kings.
Of course, Old Man Corpse Mountain was no exception; his soul was directly extracted.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect Old Ancestor Situ Kong began to clean up the aftermath.
The ten Refined Corpses of the Nascent Soul Stage released on the ground were most likely the former Sect Masters of the Corpse Refining Sect.
They had all turned their own bodies into Refined Corpses.
This way, they could not only survive longer but also increase the foundation of the Corpse Refining Sect.
Situ Kong of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect Old Ancestor had no time to care about these things now.
He directly extracted their souls one by one before they could react,
sealing them within the ten thousand souls banner!
Then, he went to the secret chambers of the Corpse Refining Sect and found over twenty more such Refined Corpses.
In the end, the total number of Nascent Soul Stage souls extracted was about more than thirty.
If he turned all of them into Ghost Kings,
the ten thousand souls banner in his hand would possess sixty-five Ghost Kings.
Of course, the foundation of the Corpse Refining Sect was not limited to this; the sect's secret chambers also stored seventy or eighty Refined Corpses without Nascent Soul Stage souls.
These Refined Corpses could be controlled by anyone, simply by stamping their Soul Imprint on them.
This would add some combat power of the Nascent Soul Stage for free!
Of course, one also needed the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, otherwise, they could not control Refined Corpses of the Nascent Soul Stage at all!
