108: Encircle and suppress the Hehuan Sect!

The Hehuan Sect here in Chen Country is not the main headquarters, but merely a sub-hall of the Hehuan Sect.

The three words "Hehuan Sect" hold immense temptation for any ordinary man, and tens of thousands of men in Chen Country joined the Hehuan Sect under its allure.

Some became consumables for the female Cultivators within the Sect, their bodies turning to dust after their Yang Qi was harvested.

Another portion, those with a bit of Aptitude, became entry-level Disciples of the Hehuan Sect, participating in various activities, including abducting women from Chen Country to join the Hehuan Sect.

This formed a cycle, and this sub-hall alone had tens of thousands of male and female Disciples.

Its scale was comparable to the Eight Great Sects.

However, most of these Disciples were ordinary Cultivators with mediocre Aptitude; over two-thirds were mere Qi Refinement Stage Early Stage small fry.

To ordinary people, they might seem terrifyingly strong.

But compared to the regular forces of the Eight Sects' Disciples, they were far inferior; even at the same Qi Refinement Stage Early Stage, the Eight Sects' Disciples were much stronger.

Therefore, every Disciple of the Eight Sects was full of confidence, hoping to kill a few more Demonic Path Cultivators to solidify their Dao Heart.

Deer Head Mountain.

Butterfly Valley.

The Hehuan Sect's sub-hall near Chen Country was located here.

Given the Eight Great Sects' stealth operation this time, it was only now that the Hehuan Sect noticed a large number of people from the Eight Great Sects charging towards them.

"Hall Master, something is terribly wrong!"

"The Eight Great Sects have suddenly launched an attack!"

"Their total number is about 2,000 people, with a large number of Qi Refinement Stage Disciples, some Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples, and a small number of Golden Core Stage Disciples."

"Four Sect Masters from the Eight Great Sects have also appeared at the front lines."

The Disciple who came to report was clearly a very professional scout.

Besides shouting that something was wrong, he immediately provided a clear and detailed account of the enemy's situation.

In the Grand Yin and Yang Pleasure Hall.

Lin Huanhuan, the Hall Master of this sub-hall, was currently sitting on a man, and the man lying on the ground was visibly withering away, his essence, Qi, and spirit fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Huanhuan was Cultivating and showed no reaction to the scout's report.

Instead, another man in a black robe beside her suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with panic.

"All the Eight Great Sects have come?"

"From their attire, the ones who came are Profound Heaven Dao Sect, Sacred Sword Sect, Immortal Shadow Sect, and Tiangong Pavilion—these four Great Sects."

"Are you sure their Sect Masters have also come?"

"Absolutely certain!"

The black-robed man's expression grew even more panicked.

This was the rhythm of completely obliterating this place.

"Hall Master Lin, the situation is urgent. I will go to Ten Thousand Souls Hall now to get you some reinforcements."

With that, he made to leave.

"What's the rush~~~"

A seductive voice sounded.

Lin Huanhuan rose from the man's body; the man beneath her was now withered and lifeless.

A ethereal soul detached from his body.

Seeing this, the black-robed man produced a Myriad Soul Banner, sucking the soul into it.

"Hall Master Lin, is the current situation still not urgent?"

"Four Sect Masters from the Eight Great Sects are personally leading their teams, and the number one Sect in the world, Profound Heaven Dao Sect, is among them. This is clearly an attempt to annihilate you all."

"But their numbers are not too many after all. If I return to Ten Thousand Souls Hall for reinforcements now, we still have a chance to fight!"

The black-robed man said, putting away his Myriad Soul Banner.

Lin Huanhuan was somewhat helpless, both at the black-robed man's foolishness and the current situation.

However,

she remained calm.

"Is my Hehuan Sect the only force here in Chen Country? Your Ten Thousand Souls Hall's influence here is much greater than ours."

"Think about it, why did exactly four of the Eight Great Sects come here to me? Would the other four just idly miss this opportunity to eliminate evil, defend the Righteous Path, and gain fame?"

Before Lin Huanhuan finished speaking, the black-robed man suddenly said, "Are you saying that the other four of the Eight Great Sects are on their way to Ten Thousand Souls Hall?"

Lin Huanhuan swayed her hips as she approached, her seductive voice turning cold.

"If I'm not mistaken, all the Eight Great Sects have come this time."

"Four Sects have taken people to your Ten Thousand Souls Hall, and four Sects have brought people to encircle and kill our Hehuan Sect."

"If you go to Ten Thousand Souls Hall for reinforcements now, you'll just be walking into another danger."

"They want to wipe us out with lightning speed, giving us no chance! But..."

Lin Huanhuan walked out of the Grand Yin and Yang Pleasure Hall.

The peace within the Sect was about to be shattered, and an unavoidable battle was about to begin.

There was no fear in her eyes; though a mere woman, she possessed a heroic spirit undaunted by life or death.

"We are not without the means to resist."

"Ten Thousand Souls Hall and Hehuan Sect have cooperated for many years; this is a good opportunity to test the results of our cooperation!"

The black-robed man was stunned for a moment, "Are you saying... use that move?"

"Yes!"

"Use that move!"

"Since they're here to annihilate us, what do we have left to hold back?"

"Even if we die, we'll drag them all down with us. If we're lucky, who knows who will win or die in the end!"

"Wanlong, you also want to be highly regarded by Ten Thousand Souls Hall, right? In this battle, if you can collect the souls of those powerful Disciples from the four Great Sects, won't you be greatly rewarded when you report back?"

Lin Huanhuan's words made the black-robed man named Wanlong's eyes shine brightly.

"Good! Hall Master Lin, just give the orders; I will cooperate!"

Wanlong shouted loudly.

"Very good!"

Lin Huanhuan flew into the air, her voice echoing throughout Butterfly Valley: "Disciples of my Hehuan Sect, heed my command! The enemy is attacking; everyone immediately prepare to meet them!"

At her command, the previously quiet Hehuan Sect immediately became agitated.

Tens of thousands of men and women picked up their weapons and gathered from all directions.

The powerful Cultivators within the Sect immediately reinforced the mountain-protecting formation.

Wanlong also took out his Myriad Soul Banner, concealed himself in the shadows, and prepared for battle.

At this moment.

The four Great Sects, led by the Tiangong Pavilion, had already reached Butterfly Valley.

Wei Jihun, the host, stood at the front of the formation and shouted:

"Fellow Daoists, the Hehuan Sect's evildoers harm people with wicked Spells and poison all living beings. Today is the day of their demise! Follow me to break this formation and flatten this Demonic Path lair!"

Wei Jihun's voice was like a grand bell, spreading far and wide, boosting the morale of the Righteous Path allied army.

"Flatten the Demonic Path lair!"

2,000 Disciples shouted in unison, their voices shaking the wilderness.

"Break!"

The four Sect Masters clearly didn't want to waste time on a mountain-protecting formation. The four of them simultaneously attacked, four powerful true Qi striking directly at the Hehuan Sect's mountain-protecting formation.

The heavily reinforced mountain-protecting formation instantly shattered with a roar!

"Kill—!"

The Righteous Path Disciples had been waiting for this moment.

They surged into Butterfly Valley.

Countless Flying Swords, Magic Treasures, Talismans, and Spells from both sides collided fiercely.

The battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch.

Su Yang was also participating in a war against the Demonic Path for the first time.

With his divine sword in hand, he cut down people like slicing melons.

Not a single one could withstand even one move from him.

It was uninteresting to deal with ordinary Qi Refinement Stage minor Disciples, so Su Yang began to search for powerful Disciples of the Hehuan Sect on the battlefield.

There were no elaborate maneuvers; those he could cut down with one sword, he did. For those he couldn't, he combined his attacks with Spells.

Upon entering the battlefield, Su Yang mowed down all enemies around him like a hot knife through butter.

The Disciples of the four Great Sects, seeing Su Yang's powerful and dazzling display, became even more determined, and one by one, they followed Su Yang, slaughtering the evildoers of the Hehuan Sect.

Initially,

the battle proceeded as smoothly as expected.

Although the Disciples of the Hehuan Sect were skilled in charm and harvesting, on the direct battlefield, facing the well-trained and coordinated elite Disciples of the four Great Sects, they were steadily pushed back.

With every flash of sword light, a Demonic Cultivator fell.

With every roar of a Magic Treasure, an evil spirit turned to dust.

However,

just when everyone thought victory was assured, an unexpected change occurred!

From the depths of Butterfly Valley, a thick, impenetrable black Devilish Qi shot into the sky, accompanied by the grating wails of countless ghosts. Innumerable sacrificed souls, like a black tide, surged forward.

Their numbers were vast, tens of thousands!

These souls did not directly attack the living but, like hungry ghosts, frantically pounced on the lifeless corpses on the battlefield—whether from the Hehuan Sect or the Righteous Path Sects!

Dozens, or even scores, of souls filled with resentment and murderous intent crammed into a single corpse.

The next moment, a scene that made all the Righteous Path Cultivators' scalps tingle appeared.

One by one, the fallen corpses suddenly opened their eyes, and eerie green soul flames burned in their pupils...
