96: Chapter 96 Removal from the Holy Land: The Final reckoning!

Tianshui Holy Land, Main Peak Plaza.

As nine urgent bell tolls rang out, echoing through the heavens, every surviving Elder, deacon, and the tens of thousands of Inner Sect and Outer Sect Disciples within the Tianshui Holy Land—regardless of what they were doing—laid down their tasks and gathered at the Main Peak Plaza, faces filled with panic.

They did not know what had happened, only that it was the "Summons Order" that was only rung when the Sect faced an apocalyptic disaster.

Soon, the massive white jade plaza was densely packed with people.

When they raised their heads and looked toward the high platform, everyone gasped.

They saw the usually aloof and incomparably majestic Holy Lord Tianshui kneeling like a servant at the feet of a young man in white, his face full of obsequiousness.

Behind the young man stood six stunningly beautiful women, as well as two black-armored giants radiating terrifying auras.

"That is... the former Saintess Ye Qingcheng?!"

"And Xiao Yuhan from the Righteous Path Alliance?!"

"Who are those two people tied up like rice dumplings and covered in blood? Heavens! It's Saintess Murong Xue and Elder Xie Yunzhou?!"

A commotion erupted in the crowd.

Wang Yang glanced indifferently at Holy Lord Tianshui at his feet: "Are they all here?"

"They are! They are all here!" Holy Lord Tianshui nodded and bowed hurriedly, "Sect Master Wang, do you see... can we...?"

Wang Yang ignored him, instead turning to look at Ye Qingcheng beside him, his voice gentle: "Qingcheng, go ahead."

"In front of these tens of thousands of people, take back the justice that belongs to you."

Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath, her eyes slightly red.

She nodded and walked step by step to the edge of the high platform, overlooking the faces below—faces she was once familiar with, many of whom had even mocked her.

"I am Ye Qingcheng."

Her cold, clear voice, amplified by Qi, spread throughout the entire Holy Land.

"Today, I will uncover the filth behind the glamorous facade of this Tianshui Holy Land!"

As she spoke, she pointed at the mud-like heaps of Murong Xue and Xie Yunzhou on the ground and said sternly: "These two scoundrels are Elder Xie Yunzhou and Saintess Murong Xue!"

"They colluded with Zhao Wuji and Chu Xiuyuan!"

"Murong Xue, my good Junior Sister, has been committing adultery with those three for a long time! To secure the position of Saintess, she slandered me for colluding with the Demonic Path!"

"It was Xie Yunzhou, my good Revered Master, who personally crippled my cultivation!"

"Now, those two villains, Zhao Wuji and Chu Xiuyuan, have already been executed!"

"Now... it is your turn!"

Before the words had faded, Ye Qingcheng swung the long sword in her hand.

Puchi! Puchi!

The two, with their cultivation sealed, were like Mortals and were easily executed!

Murong Xue and Xie Yunzhou didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before their blood splattered across the high platform under the gaze of tens of thousands of Disciples!

The entire scene fell into a dead silence.

Every Disciple was stunned; the Saintess they held in such high regard as pure and holy, and the highly respected Elder, were actually such scum?

However, it was not over yet.

Ye Qingcheng did not sheathe her sword, but suddenly turned, pointing the tip of her sword directly at the kneeling Holy Lord Tianshui!

"Old thief of Tianshui! Do you think you can survive by pushing these two scapegoats out?!"

Holy Lord Tianshui's expression changed drastically: "Ye Qingcheng! You... don't you dare spout nonsense! This Lord was deceived!"

"Deceived?"

Ye Qingcheng sneered and said loudly: "Fellow Disciples! Do you know why, for the past hundred years, the Holy Land has demanded 'young boys and girls' from Mortal kingdoms every year?"

"The Holy Lord told you it was to select Geniuses."

"But the truth is—to maintain his rule in the Southern Wasteland and to exchange for resources from the Yao Race, he sold countless innocent children to the Yao Race of the Hundred Thousand Mountains as blood food!"

Upon hearing this, the entire crowd was in an uproar!

"What?! Sold to the Yao Race?!"

"This... how is this possible! We are a Righteous Path Sect!"

"I have a witness!"

Ye Qingcheng waved her hand.

Bai Linger stepped forward, her fox ears particularly eye-catching: "I am from the White Fox Clan of the Yao Race! I can also testify that those children sent to the territory of the Black Tiger Demon Emperor were all eaten! Not even their bones were left!"

"This is a projection bead that recorded the crimes in the territory of the Black Tiger Demon Emperor!"

Irrefutable evidence!

The Disciples below completely collapsed.

Their faith crumbled to pieces at this moment.

It turned out that the Holy Land they had always been proud of was actually a man-eating demon cave!

"No! You are lying! Wang Yang! You promised to spare me!"

Seeing the situation was lost, Holy Lord Tianshui exploded instantly. With his Early Spirit Severing Stage cultivation erupting without reservation, he tried to take Ye Qingcheng hostage and charge out.

"I was already prepared for this trick."

A cold light flashed in Wang Yang's eyes. His throat moved, and he swallowed the [Invincible Domain Portable Pill] he had prepared.

Hum—!

A wave of absolute Invincible Domain power instantly enveloped Holy Lord Tianshui.

"In my Domain, no one can touch my woman."

Wang Yang took a step forward, ignoring all of Holy Lord Tianshui's attacks, and slapped down hard like swatting a fly!

Boom!

"Ah—!"

With a scream, this Holy Lord Tianshui, who had ruled the Southern Wasteland for a thousand years, was slammed directly into the ground. All his bones shattered, his Nascent Soul was forcibly shattered, and he died on the spot!

With this, the supreme authority who had once ruled the Southern Wasteland Region had completely fallen!

Wang Yang stood on the high platform, looking at the tens of thousands of Disciples in chaos below.

"System! Activate Good and Evil Scan!"

"Mark everyone who participated in human trafficking, bullying the weak, and committed heinous crimes—Deep Red!"

"Mark those with lighter crimes who just followed the crowd—Light Red!"

"The rest who were unaware and did no evil—White!"

Swish!

In Wang Yang's field of vision, colored cursors instantly appeared above the heads of tens of thousands of people.

To his relief, only about one-tenth were Deep Red, mostly Core Elders and Personal Disciples.

Light Red accounted for three-tenths.

The remaining more than six-tenths were ordinary Disciples, mostly White.

It seemed that although the Holy Land was rotten to the core, most of the low-level Disciples were still kept in the dark.

"The Deep Red ones... die!"

Wang Yang snapped his fingers.

Bang bang bang bang!

In the crowd, hundreds of Elders and Core Disciples who usually acted like tyrants instantly exploded into mists of blood!

"The Light Red ones... death penalty exempted, but living sin is inescapable!"

"Deprive them of all illegal gains!"

Whoosh!

The Storage Pouches, Magic Treasures, and even the dharma robes of thousands of Disciples instantly disappeared, leaving them with only their undergarments, and they were blown 20 kilometers outside the Domain range by a gentle force.

After finishing all this, Wang Yang waved his hand.

"System! Retrieve!"

Rumble—!

The entire treasury of the Tianshui Holy Land, the Scripture Pavilion, the Medicinal Pill room... and even the high-grade Spiritual Vein buried under the main peak, were all uprooted!

[Ding! Retrieval successful!]

[Obtained High-grade Spiritual Vein x 1, various top-tier Magic Treasures, Spirit Stones piled like mountains...]

[Total points obtained: approximately 50 million!]

[Current total points: approximately 78 million!]

After handling everything, Wang Yang looked at the remaining six-tenths of the Disciples with White cursors who were shivering and looking bewildered, and said loudly: "The main culprits have been eliminated. Tianshui Holy Land is erased from today!"

"For those of you who were unaware, I will not kill you."

"Take your things and go down the mountain. Whether you become a Loose Cultivator or join other forces, fend for yourselves!"

After speaking, Wang Yang did not stay any longer.

"Let's go!"

With a flash of golden light, he took the tearful Ye Qingcheng, who had finally avenged her great hatred, along with the other women, and disappeared from the spot.

Only the empty, once-arrogant ruins of the Holy Land remained behind, telling the story of the end of an era in the setting sun.

I just don't know how Ye Qingcheng, having finally avenged her great hatred, will thank her husband?
