123: Chapter 123 I will never associate with the demonic path!
As Ji Linglong took the final step across the natural chasm and condensed her Nascent Soul, the Hehuan Sect's unprecedented 'All-Member Nascent Soul Plan' finally came to a successful conclusion.
As the 'Core of the Dao Transmission,' Wang Yang had also received a massive feedback after twelve consecutive days of high-intensity Origin baptism and the intersection of Qi mechanisms.
Boom—!
Sitting cross-legged on the main seat, a dull dragon's roar emanated from within Wang Yang's body.
His cultivation, which had originally just entered the Soul Transformation Stage, naturally took another giant step forward, breaking through directly to the second level of the Soul Transformation Stage!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to: Soul Transformation Stage Level 2!]
[Invincible Domain range synchronization settlement in progress...]
[Current total Domain radius: 14,490.11 kilometers!]
Listening to the System's broadcast in his mind, Wang Yang stretched contentedly, his entire body exuding the aura of a peerless Grandmaster who had returned to his true self.
He slowly walked down from the main seat. As he passed the edge of the Spirit Gathering Array, the corner of his eye caught Ji Wushuang sitting slumped on the ground, her face covered in tear stains.
This once-unrivaled Fire Cloud Empress was now looking up at him with a gaze full of resentment, longing, and even a hint of pleading.
That look seemed to be screaming silently: Sect Master, please show some mercy and grant this servant a bit of good fortune!
However, Wang Yang's footsteps didn't even pause for half a second.
With an indifferent expression, as if looking at a puff of air, he walked straight past Ji Wushuang.
The Cultivation World was inherently cruel. If one chose the wrong path, stood on the wrong side, or even backstabbed their closest kin to save their own life, then they must swallow the bitter fruit they had brewed.
The Hehuan Sect did not support freeloaders. Since she had signed a contract to be a maid, she would have to work honestly for a lifetime without pay!
Wang Yang ignored the suppressed sobbing behind him and walked straight out of the secret chamber, arriving in the main hall.
In the hall, his second mistress Su Qingge, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage and finished stabilizing her Realm, was sitting there gracefully in a green dress, surrounded by the pure and flawless True Intent of the Water Dao.
Seeing Wang Yang come out, Su Qingge's beautiful eyes lit up. She stood up and bowed elegantly, "Thank you, husband, for the Heaven-Defying fortune. Qingge has successfully formed her soul."
Wang Yang stepped forward to help her up, holding her smooth, jade-like hand, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Qingge, since you have now formed your soul..."
Wang Yang's tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance. "Pack your things. In a few days, I will take you to the Central State to find the Zhao Family and settle the blood debt of the Su Family's destruction, with interest!"
Hearing the words 'Zhao Family of Central State,' Su Qingge's delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Everything is as my husband decides!"
Just as the two were deciding to set off immediately for revenge in the Central State—
"Revered Master Husband! Revered Master Husband!"
Lin Xiaowan ran into the hall in a panic, pointing toward the mountain gate and shouting, "Revered Master Husband! A group of guys dressed in pitch black and looking fierce have arrived outside the gate! They claim to be from the Northern Border's number one demonic sect, the [Heavenly Demon Holy Sect], and say they want to see you!"
"Heavenly Demon Holy Sect?"
Wang Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.
These demonic Cultivator rats from the Northern Border had quite the keen sense of smell.
The Righteous Path Alliance's army had just met its downfall in the Southern Wilderness, and they had already followed the scent here.
"Let them get in here."
A moment later.
Led by Bai Linger, a group of twelve black-robed Cultivators, all exuding a thick aura of blood and malice, swaggered into the Hehuan Sect's main hall.
Walking at the very front was a young man with a sinister face, waving a folding fan. His cultivation had remarkably reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Half a step behind him was a withered old man whose eyes flickered like a venomous snake's tongue. The pressure he emitted was actually at the terrifying Middle Stage of Soul Transformation!
The remaining ten were all guards at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Such a lineup, if placed in the former Southern Wilderness, could definitely sweep through everything.
"I am the Saint of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect, Xue Wuhen. Greetings, Sect Master Wang."
The sinister youth closed his folding fan. Although he spoke polite words, his eyes held an innate sense of superiority, and his gaze even swept unscrupulously over Su Qingge and the other women twice.
"Sect Master Wang killed Gu Xuanji in an instant and wiped out the elites of the Righteous Path Alliance. Such a feat is truly a model for those of us on the Demonic Path!"
Xue Wuhen laughed loudly and went straight to the point, "I come today on behalf of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect to join forces with Sect Master Wang! My Heavenly Demon Holy Sect also has several Half-step Void Refinement experts!"
"As long as the Hehuan Sect forms an alliance with my Saint Sect, our two families working together will surely be able to completely destroy the Righteous Path of the Central State!"
"At that time, this world will be ours for the taking! What does Sect Master Wang think?"
Looking at the other's warm 'all demonic Cultivators are one family' demeanor, Wang Yang sat on the main seat with a blank expression, only coldly issuing an order in his heart:
"System, activate the Sin Discernment function and check the background of these people."
[Ding! Sin Discernment activated!]
[Target locked: Heavenly Demon Holy Sect Saint Xue Wuhen and followers.]
[Sin level detection complete: Pitch black as ink (Monstrous Sins)!]
[Main charges: Slaughtered thirty-seven Mortal cities to refine evil Magic Treasures, extracted the souls of over a million people, and violated and murdered countless female Cultivators...]
Looking at the shocking blood-red charges on the System panel, Wang Yang's eyes turned completely cold.
Although the Hehuan Sect acted as it pleased and was considered an 'Evil Sect' in the eyes of the Righteous Path, Wang Yang still fundamentally considered himself an absolutely righteous person.
Slaughtering Mortals and extracting souls?
Such pure scoundrels who had lost their humanity were worthy of coming here to call him brother?
They even had the audacity to ogle his women with lustful eyes?
"Sect Master Wang, if you feel the sincerity is insufficient, my Saint Sect can also..." Seeing that Wang Yang was not speaking, Xue Wuhen thought the other was putting on airs and was about to continue offering more chips.
"Noisy."
Wang Yang didn't even have the interest to give them a second look. He simply raised his right hand and made a sudden clenching motion in the void!
"Since you are dregs of a demonic sect, then die here."
Buzz—!
Within the Invincible Domain, the power of rules representing absolute authority over life and death instantly descended!
"What?! You dare—" The withered old man at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation's face changed wildly, his body exploding with terrifying black Devilish Qi as he tried to resist.
However, before the absolute erasure of the Domain, a Middle Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator was no different from a Mortal!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With no room for resistance, the bodies of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect's Saint Xue Wuhen, the Soul Transformation guardian Elder, and the nine Nascent Soul guards were simultaneously struck as if by a ten-thousand-ton giant hammer. They instantly exploded into extremely fine ash, vanishing completely from the world without even a drop of blood splashing!
Of the original twelve from the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect, only the last Nascent Soul guard, who had been deliberately left alive, remained.
That guard had watched his own peerless Saint and Soul Transformation Elder instantly evaporate. He was scared out of his wits, falling to his knees with a 'thud' as a foul stench spread from between his legs.
"You... you..." The guard's whole body shook like a sieve, his teeth chattering wildly.
Wang Yang looked down at him from above, his gaze like he was looking at a filthy bug, his voice cold and forceful:
"Go back and tell your Heavenly Demon Holy Sect's Sect Master."
"I have hated evil as an enemy all my life. My Hehuan Sect will never associate with such heartless demonic dregs!"
"If you dare to step half a foot into the Southern Wilderness again, I will wipe out your entire sect! Scram!"
"Yes! Yes! This lowly one will scram right now! Thank you, Sect Master Wang, for your mercy!"
The guard felt as if he had been granted a grand amnesty. He scrambled out of the hall and turned into a streak of black light, fleeing toward the Northern Border like he was insane.
