235: Yan Xiao's Revenge
An ancestral grudge?
Baochao Sheli Zi initially didn't take it to heart.
The animosity with Yan Xiao clearly belonged to the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty, and had nothing to do with their Great Love Sect.
However, upon closer inspection, the Great Love Sect seemed to have been involved.
Then wouldn't the Great Love Sect, which inherited the Great Love Sect, also be an object of vengeance?
After thinking of this, Baochao Sheli Zi's face immediately turned pale.
He immediately decided to flee east.
But Yan Xiao was even faster; the crimson flames surged down like a scorching river, washing over the entire Binsha County.
Baochao Sheli Zi was instantly engulfed by the flames, screaming as his Physical Body collapsed.
Yan Xiao didn't look sideways, simply continuing his quiet steps eastward.
His control over the abnormal flames was already extremely precise, coupled with the player intelligence provided by Old Potato and others, and the assistance of the powerful spiritual sense of the old man possessing him.
Yan Xiao could accurately find Buddhist Cultivator and evil cultivators, precisely killing them without harming the innocent.
"The Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty, the Great Love Sect, not one can be spared."
Yan Xiao flapped his wings and continued eastward, the sky-high flames suppressing everything around him... [#Yan Xiao Reappears!#]
Related information quickly exploded on the internet.
Baochao Sheli Zi was the first to post, expressing great resentment and unwillingness.
Subsequently, other killed players also posted.
Soon, more and more players learned about this matter.
Yan Xiao, who had achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Huang, had come for revenge!
And the most terrifying thing was that his targets for revenge were the entire Great Love Sect and the entire Great Jiang Imperial Family.
The Great Love Sect, which inherited the Great Love Sect, immediately became the biggest target.
The evil cultivators of the Great Love Sect and the Buddhist Cultivator of the Great Love Sect all had distinct markings, making them easily identifiable, with no possibility of accidental killing.
At this, the evil cultivators and Buddhist Cultivator all panicked.
Similar to how the fall of Midnight Gao Sou led to the Great Love Sect's disintegration, this time the Great Love Sect also began to split.
What was even more shocking than the split among the evil cultivators was that the players in the Great Love Sect were either those who had converted others or those who had been converted.
So after the split, countless players instantly transformed into Buddhist light, which others used to impact their Breakthroughs.
For a time, the entire Great Love Sect fell into violent turmoil, as if it had directly collapsed... The roaring flames came from the west, sweeping over everything, finally reaching the Great Jiang Imperial City.
Seeing the ruins, Yan Xiao's brows furrowed tightly.
Although he knew that the Great Jiang Imperial City had been attacked by the Heshui Prefecture, the tragic sight still left him somewhat stunned.
The vast city had simply vanished, replaced by a bottomless, massive pit; no buildings were visible, and naturally, not a single living soul remained.
It was said that when the Great Jiang Empress made her Breakthrough, the Great Jiang Crown Prince had already begun to kill the imperial family members one by one, and the remaining imperial family members had perished along with the Imperial City.
As for the Empress herself, her whereabouts remained unknown.
Looking at the huge pit, Yan Xiao felt no joy of revenge, but instead a wave of sorrow.
Times had changed, and people were no longer the same.
"Right, what about the Purple Qi Sect? I need to go thank them."
Yan Xiao flapped his wings and flew towards the Purple Qi Sect at an extremely fast speed.
But when he arrived, he found that the Purple Qi Sect's buildings had long since disappeared; the once beautiful Spirit Peak now had temples and pagodas built upon it, shimmering with Buddhist light, and filled with the sound of chanting.
This place had already become part of the Great Love Sect.
Yan Xiao's brows furrowed tightly, an ominous premonition in his heart.
He moved to suppress the area, capturing Buddhist Cultivator to inquire about the situation.
He quickly learned that after he left, the Purple Qi Sect had been attacked by many players, and later had to relocate; after many twists and turns, the Spirit Peak fell into the hands of the Great Love Sect.
As for Crimson Purple, the Sect Master of the Purple Qi Sect, it was said that she had perished not long ago, her head twisted off by someone while she was in seclusion for a Breakthrough.
Yan Xiao immediately flew into a rage, killing everyone present.
But after this, he once again fell into confusion.
The Buddhist Cultivator player who killed Crimson Purple was already dead.
As for the other players who besieged the Purple Qi Sect, was he supposed to chase and kill them one by one?
This was neither realistic nor reasonable.
Yan Xiao stayed on the Purple Qi Sect's Peak for a few days, somewhat lost... In the underground cave.
Due to the Great Love Sect's split, the Mage stopped pretending and directly recalled all the Buddhist light he had spread out.
Thus, his Breakthrough speed greatly increased, and a magnificent Buddhist land was already visible before his eyes.
The Breakthroughs of the Buddhist, Golden Core, and Dou Qi systems were all different.
To Breakthrough from Mage to Vajra, one must first recall the Buddhist light that was converted, and these recalled Buddhist lights are not pure power; they carry the Karma of those who were converted.
To successfully Breakthrough, one must undertake the major life events of others, and even accept their Karma, then place all that Karma into the Buddhist land; only then can the Breakthrough be achieved.
The difficulty of this was by no means lower than that of the infinite illusion.
What worried the Mage even more was that Yan Xiao had already successfully made his Breakthrough and could find him at any time, then kill him, the Sect Master of the Great Love Sect.
The pressure was mounting.
"I must Breakthrough..."
The Mage's mood was heavy; he looked at the Buddhist land before him, listening to the scriptures emanating from an unknown source, constantly consuming his Lifespan to accelerate his Breakthrough... Yan Xiao stayed at the former site of the Purple Qi Sect for a period, not seeking the Reincarnations of Crimson Purple and others.
He reined in his abnormal flames and quietly went to the Heshui Prefecture, meeting with Jin Cui, Sect Leader of He Shui Sect, the Sect Master of the Heshui Prefecture, to inquire about the Great Jiang Empress.
"Anyone who makes a Breakthrough always makes full preparations, then seeks a place to Breakthrough.
"Qi Refining to Breakthrough to Immortal Foundation does not take long; all that is needed is a usable Immortal Foundation Method, and the requirements for an Immortal Cave are not high.
"Immortal Foundation to Breakthrough to Golden Core, one might need to set up a diversion, or seek a Senior Protector; it often takes decades or even centuries, with many variables, making it very difficult.
"But Golden Core to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul is vastly different; every Golden Core Peak is a contemporary powerhouse, capable of mobilizing vast resources, utilizing extensive connections, and making deep arrangements for a safe Breakthrough, beyond ordinary imagination.
"You must know that Golden Cores have a Lifespan of a thousand years, and there are even various methods to extend Lifespan; their long Lifespan gives them more time to make arrangements.
"Therefore, finding a Golden Core Peak in seclusion might still yield clues.
"But finding a Golden Core Peak in seclusion, even if our Heshui Prefecture were to go all out, would likely be fruitless."
Jin Cui, Sect Leader of He Shui Sect's words were very realistic, even serving as guidance from an elder to a junior.
However, Yan Xiao merely said coldly:
"Normally, indeed no one can find a Golden Core seeking to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, but what if there's an internal traitor?
"Your Heshui Prefecture attacked the Imperial City, and even found the Crown Prince among them; I don't believe you truly have no information."
Jin Cui, Sect Leader of He Shui Sect pondered for a long time:
"Our Heshui Prefecture indeed has no information.
"However, Extraterrestrial Demons often produce Legacies that have been lost for many years, or even obtain extraordinary Spiritual Artifacts and Magic Treasures; there might be a way among them to find the Empress.
"You might as well go find them."
