359: So you only dare to send these watchdogs out to their deaths?

Everyone entered the interior of the Qinglan Sect.

As soon as they entered, the scene before them caused everyone's hearts to sink.

The Sect scenery that should have been serene, elegant, and brimming with Spiritual Qi was completely gone.

Most of the pavilions and buildings were dusty and dilapidated, with eerie dark purple vines resembling blood vessels crawling over the carved beams and painted pillars.

The ground was no longer made of bluestone slabs, but rather a wriggling, mucus-covered dark red fleshy tissue.

The Evil Energy permeating the air was so dense it had almost condensed into a physical grayish-black haze.

With every breath, a slight stinging sensation could be felt in the lungs.

In the distance, where the Martial Arts Field, Scripture Hall, and Disciple Residences should have been...

At this moment, inhuman low growls and chewing sounds could be faintly heard.

There was none of the immortal aura a Righteous Path Sect should possess; instead, it looked more like a demonic lair completely eroded and corrupted by the abyss!

Seeing this, the Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents were filled with indignation, whispering through gritted teeth:

"These scumbags! To think they've ruined such a fine Sect like this!"

"If the Ancestral Masters of the Qinglan Sect have spirits in heaven and see their own mountain gate turned into this ghostly state, they'd probably jump out of their graves in rage!"

"For the sake of power, they sided with the abyss and threw away even the basic bottom line of being human!"

"It's simply a disgrace to our Human Race!"

With a grim face, Zhou Zhen shouted, "Focus on your guard and watch the surroundings! Don't let your emotions affect your judgment!"

"Yes!" The agents immediately composed themselves, gripped their weapons tightly, and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.

Just then—

"Roar—!!!"

"Screech—!!!"

The surrounding space suddenly twisted and fluctuated.

Filthy Evil Energy gushed from the ground, walls, and even the Void Realm like boiling water!

In the next second, a large number of hideous Demonic Beasts, exuding a thick abyssal aura, swarmed out from all directions!

Some resembled giant wolves, some were like rotten vultures magnified countless times, and others were monsters stitched together entirely from twisted flesh...

There were over a hundred of them!

Each one radiated an aura of at least the fourth rank, with many at the fifth, and even some at the sixth rank!

Frantic crimson light burned in their eyes, and saliva dripped from their fangs, corroding the ground.

They were dead-set on the intruding human team.

The people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau recognized them at a glance.

These Demonic Beasts were precisely the Qinglan Sect's Mountain-protecting Spirit Beasts and domesticated Spiritual Birds.

However, they were now completely eroded, twisted, and demonized by the abyssal aura!

"It's the Qinglan Sect's Mountain-protecting Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Birds! They've all been demonized!" an agent said in horror.

Zhou Zhen's face turned ashen, and he immediately barked orders:

"Everyone on high alert, form a defensive formation!"

"Long-range units, prioritize picking off the approaching flying units."

"Melee group, focus on cover. The aura of these Demonized Beasts far exceeds the norm; watch out for their surprise attacks!"

The agents were well-trained and instantly formed a circular formation.

Various Spiritual Energy Weapons, Talismans, and Magical Artifacts lit up, locking onto the approaching swarm of Demonic Beasts.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense, with Evil Energy roars and spiritual power hums intertwining; the battle was on the verge of breaking out!

However, Chen Nian, walking at the front, only gave a contemptuous smile.

His gaze swept over the hideous Demonic Beasts, his tone full of disdain:

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, afraid to come out yourself, so you only dare send these watchdogs to their deaths, huh?"

"In that case..."

"I'll just clear them all out."

In the next second, those Demonized Beasts seemed to have received an order or stimulus.

They all let out earth-shaking roars, pouncing toward the human team from all directions like a black tide!

The Spiritual Energy Bureau crowd immediately stood ready, gripping their weapons as their spiritual power was poised to be unleashed!

However, Chen Nian just shook his head in disappointment: "Only this much momentum? It's not even enough for me to warm up."

Then, he didn't even move his feet.

He just casually waved his hand toward the surging tide of Demonized Beasts ahead.

"Swish swish swish swish swish—!!!!!!!"

Tens of thousands of highly condensed Blood-colored Silk Threads exuding cold killing intent—Heart-Devouring Demon Silk—instantly erupted!

The Blood-colored Silk Threads wove into a massive death net that covered the fan-shaped area ahead!

This giant blood-colored net seemed to possess a life of its own, instantly descending upon the beast tide!

"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"

Dense, scalp-numbing cutting sounds, like the whispers of the Grim Reaper, instantly echoed across the battlefield!

The Demonized Beasts charging at the front, whether fourth, fifth, or sixth rank...

The moment they came into contact with the blood-colored silk net...

Their powerful bodies were like being thrown into an invisible meat grinder, instantly cut and dismantled!

Heads rolled, limbs were severed, and torsos were sliced into countless neat fragments!

Dark purple foul blood gushed out from countless incisions like fountains.

Mixed with shattered internal organs, bones, and carapaces, it splattered onto the ground!

With just a single wave of his hand, the dozens of Demonized Beasts charging at the very front were wiped out.

Turning into a messy pile of minced meat on the ground!

[Ding! Killed a fourth-rank Demonized Beast, gained 3,881 points!]

[Ding! Killed a fourth-rank Demonized Beast, gained 4,217 points!]

[Ding! Killed a fifth-rank Demonized Beast, gained 15,521 points!]

[Ding! Killed a fifth-rank Demonized Beast, gained 18,891 points!]

[Ding! Killed a sixth-rank Demonized Beast, gained 26,917 points!]

...

In Chen Nian's mind, the System notification sounds began to cheerfully scroll across the screen.

The points once again saw a significant increase.

These fifth and sixth-rank Demonized Beasts provided quite good points.

Chen Nian was very satisfied with this.

However, seeing this bloody, violent, and absurdly efficient scene...

The entire field was once again shocked!

The people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau even forgot to attack, staring blankly at the area ahead that had instantly turned into an asura field.

"My god... again, with just a wave of his hand..."

"These Demonized Beasts couldn't even get close before being shredded!"

"What exactly is Special Commissioner Chen's Realm?"

"To think we were so on edge just now..."

The remaining Demonized Beasts also seemed to be scared out of their wits by this terrifying massacre.

Their charging momentum suddenly halted, and the frantic red light in their eyes was replaced by fear.

They let out terrified whimpers and actually began to turn around desperately.

Fleeing for their lives toward the path they came from or the mountain forests on both sides!

They now only wanted to get away from that demon god who casually scattered death threads!

"Want to run now? Too late." Chen Nian snorted, not even bothering to give chase.

He just flicked his finger toward the direction the Demonized Beasts were fleeing!

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

Streaks of condensed, ghostly green Nether Shock beams...

Burst out instantly like precision-guided missiles!

Their speed surpassed the limits of visual perception!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Deafening explosions rang out one after another among the fleeing beast swarm!

Green annihilation energy bloomed frantically.

Any Demonized Beast hit, regardless of size or rank...

Had its body instantly blown to bits or vaporized!

The shockwaves tore apart and sent flying the surrounding building debris and rocks!

Rubble mixed with flesh and bone fragments sprayed everywhere, making the scene even bloodier and more chaotic.

In just a few rounds of precision fire, the fleeing Demonized Beasts were completely wiped out.

Blown into a rain of minced meat and blood that filled the air.

Before long, the noisy battlefield fell back into a deathly silence.

Only the slowly settling dust and the thick, inescapable smell of blood and burning remained...

To testify to everything that had just happened.

For a time, all the Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents were shocked beyond measure.

The way they looked at Chen Nian had become like looking up at a deity.

The awe and worship in their hearts for Special Commissioner Chen had reached an unsurpassable level.

This wasn't a battle at all; it was a deity's cleansing of ants!

Their previous tension and preparations now seemed so ridiculous and redundant.

However, Chen Nian didn't care at all about everyone's shock.

He just looked around at the scene of the Qinglan Sect, which was completely polluted and unrecognizable.

His tone carried undisguised disgust:

"Tsk tsk, such a fine Righteous Path Sect, ruined into this ghostly state by them."

"No Spiritual Qi left, with Evil Energy soaring to the heavens—it's truly a waste of a place."

Then, without giving everyone more chances for shock or lamentation, Chen Nian simply waved his hand and ordered again:

"Don't just stand there dazed. The source of the Evil Energy is still deeper inside. Keep moving forward and strike directly at the heart."

"Yes! Special Commissioner Chen!" Zhou Zhen was the first to react.

He immediately straightened his posture and respectfully accepted the order.

The other agents also quickly composed themselves and responded in unison.

Gripping their weapons tightly, they followed that figure who seemed capable of clearing away all gloom.

Continuing to march firmly toward the depths of the Qinglan Sect, the core area where the Evil Energy was most intense.
