128: Chapter 128 First, eliminate the Purple Mansion, then annihilate the Xuanhuang!

A world-shaking tiger roar suddenly echoed from the direction of the back mountain.

A pure white tiger leaped high into the sky.

On its broad back, it protected hundreds of young Zifu Disciples.

The white tiger's eyes were blood-red as it lunged recklessly toward Mo Tiance in mid-air.

"Even a beast dares to be so insolent," Mo Tiance snorted coldly.

He stepped through the void and pressed down with a palm strike.

The black palm print expanded rapidly against the wind, transforming into a black mountain.

The white tiger had no way to dodge; it opened its mouth and spat out a silver pillar of light as thick as a bowl.

The light pillar slammed into the palm print and shattered before it could even last for a breath.

The black palm print slammed violently onto the tiger's back.

The white tiger let out a shrill, miserable howl, and the sound of breaking bones echoed through the night sky.

Its massive body crashed straight into the ruins, creating a deep crater.

Blood gushed out like a spring, staining the surrounding rubble red.

Several Disciples hidden under its belly crawled out, crying loudly as they hugged the white tiger's corpse.

Daoxuan Immortal Sect Disciples swooped down, their sword light flickering.

The crying stopped abruptly.

Only the sound of the wind remained in the entire Ten Thousand Sword Mountain Range.

Gu Changsheng landed on the ruins of Jianyuan Peak.

His dark gold profound robes were pristine and untouched by dust.

Huang Chongyue descended from the sky and cupped his fists in a salute.

"Saint, those who resisted have all been executed."

Gu Changsheng nodded slightly.

"Zifu's Scripture Pavilion and treasury?"

"People have already been sent to seal them off."

Huang Chongyue handed over a Jade Slip.

"The inventory has been completed."

Gu Changsheng took the Jade Slip and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

"As expected of a Holy Land with a twenty-thousand-year history."

He tucked the Jade Slip into his sleeve.

There were hundreds of millions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones alone, and various Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals and Heaven And Earth Treasures were piled up like mountains.

By swallowing these resources, the Daoxuan Immortal Sect's foundation would double.

"Pass down the order to hurry up the looting," Gu Changsheng looked around.

"Do not leave behind anything of value, not even a single spirit brick."

Huang Chongyue took the order and withdrew.

Peak Master Luo Jue walked to Gu Changsheng's side.

"Saint, the Zifu Sword Pavilion's reinforcement army is still on the way."

Sect Leader Chu Cangqiong and the others had torn through the void to rush back, but the main force relied on spirit boats and Flying Swords, making them much slower.

Gu Changsheng looked south and smiled.

"I wonder what they will think when they return and see all of this."

"Set the formation."

He threw out those three words.

Peak Master Luo Jue grinned.

"The Divine Profound Earth Fiend Array has already been spread across the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain Range. All sixty-two formation eyes have been buried and are personally guarded by Myriad Laws Realm Elders."

Gu Changsheng nodded.

"Leave some alive. The Disciples of Zifu are all good seeds for Sword Cultivators; it would be a pity if they all died."

Three days later.

A mass of dark clouds appeared on the southern horizon.

Those were over a hundred massive purple wood spirit boats; it was the seven-route reinforcement army of the Zifu Sword Pavilion.

On the lead flagship, Vice Pavilion Master Xue Wanren stood at the bow with his hands behind his back.

His Middle Stage Guixu Realm cultivation allowed him to keenly sense that something was wrong.

The surroundings were too quiet. There wasn't even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation over the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain Range, and the purple light of the Sect-protecting formation had vanished.

"Stop the ships!" Xue Wanren shouted sharply.

The massive fleet braked sharply in mid-air. Xue Wanren flew out from the bow and looked down.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Half of the seventy-two main Peaks had collapsed, and the land was covered in scars.

There wasn't even a living shadow on the ruins.

"The mountain gate..." Xue Wanren's voice trembled.

The Elders and Disciples on the flagship all poked their heads out.

The sound of wailing immediately echoed throughout the fleet.

"Daoxuan Immortal Sect!" Xue Wanren roared at the sky.

A light chuckle came from the void.

Gu Changsheng walked through the air and appeared in front of the fleet.

"Vice Pavilion Master Xue, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xue Wanren stared fixedly at him.

"Gu Changsheng!"

He drew the longsword at his waist, the tip pointing directly at Gu Changsheng.

"Kill him!"

The Zifu Disciples on the fleet all drew their swords.

Gu Changsheng raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

*Buzz...*

Countless golden lights lit up between heaven and earth.

A spiritual energy net that blotted out the sun rose from all directions, trapping all hundred-plus spirit boats within it.

"Kill," Gu Changsheng lowered his hand.

The Daoxuan Immortal Sect's warships emerged from above the clouds.

The Guixu Realm experts of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect who had long been lying in ambush—Zhou Tianding, Mo Tiance, Peak Master Luo Jue, Cui Wanying, Zhao Xuance, and others—all appeared.

Grand Marshal Gu Xuanqiong did not show his face.

To deal with this group of remnants, there was no need for a Return to One Realm expert to take action.

The ambush broke out instantly.

Xue Wanren was flanked by Mo Tiance and Peak Master Luo Jue from both sides.

His sword light lunged left and right within the Domains of the two Guixu Realm experts, but he was never able to break through.

Besides Xue Wanren, there were five other Early Stage Guixu Realm Elders in the reinforcement army.

These six were the last of the Zifu Sword Pavilion's top-tier combat power.

On the Daoxuan Immortal Sect's side, not only was there the Quasi-Emperor level powerhouse Grand Marshal Gu Xuanqiong personally overseeing the situation,

But there was also a Peak Guixu Realm powerhouse like Sect Leader.

The number of Myriad Laws Realm and Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts was even more overwhelming.

The scene could be described as a completely one-sided situation from the very beginning.

"Pfft!" Xue Wanren spat out a mouthful of blood.

His right arm was shattered by a palm strike from Mo Tiance.

Peak Master Luo Jue's crimson war blade followed closely, severing his legs.

"My Zifu... shall not be destroyed!" Xue Wanren gave a miserable laugh, his body swelling as he attempted to self-detonate.

Mo Tiance's eyes turned cold, and a black light struck Xue Wanren's Dantian.

The self-detonation was forcibly interrupted.

Peak Master Luo Jue swung his blade, and a head flew into the sky.

The Vice Pavilion Master had fallen.

The other two Zifu Guixu Realm Elders also died in battle one after another.

The remaining three Guixu Realm experts were surrounded by dozens of Myriad Laws Realm experts.

Looking at the spirit boats falling from the sky and the corpses of the Disciples, the light in the eyes of these three completely dimmed.

"Stop fighting," a white-haired Elder threw down the longsword in his hand.

"We surrender."

With the surrender of the Guixu Realm powerhouses, the resistance gradually weakened.

This reinforcement ambush lasted for only three hours.

Countless Zifu Disciples died in battle, and less than thirty percent survived.

Their weapons were confiscated, and they were driven to the ruined plaza of the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain Range, where they knelt in a dense mass.

Huang Chongyue led a group of deacon Elders, moving through the surrendered troops.

His fingers tapped out runes one by one, and the runes sank into the foreheads of these people.

"The Divine Sense Restriction has been planted," Huang Chongyue walked up to Gu Changsheng to report.

"For anyone with a double heart, it only takes a single thought to make their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

Gu Changsheng glanced at the kneeling Zifu Disciples and showed a satisfied smile.

The Disciples of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect were currently moving resources onto the flying ships.

Boxes of Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures, and Medicinal Pills were being continuously transported out of the Zifu Sword Pavilion.

For three whole days, the twenty-thousand-year accumulation of the Zifu Sword Pavilion was stripped bare. Even the Spirit-Gathering Bricks laid on the ground were pried away.

Gu Changsheng stood on a cliff, and Huang Chongyue followed from behind.

"Saint, the spoils of war have all been loaded onto the ships."

Gu Changsheng nodded.

"The subsidiary kingdoms and Sects of the Zifu Sword Pavilion have all had people sent to incorporate them; from now on, they are all Daoxuan subsidiaries."

Huang Chongyue's blood boiled as he listened, and he grinned.

"This subordinate will go and handle it right away."

After annexing the territory, wealth, and surrendered personnel of the Zifu Sword Pavilion, the strength of the Daoxuan Immortal Sect saw an explosive growth.

The original situation of the three great Holy Lands standing in a tripod was completely broken.

The current Daoxuan Immortal Sect was truly the sole dominant power.

The sky gradually darkened.

Grand Marshal Gu Xuanqiong appeared by the cliff at some unknown time.

His Imperial robes fluttered in the night wind as he looked at the southern starry sky with his hands behind his back.

"Zifu is destroyed," Grand Marshal Gu Xuanqiong spoke indifferently.

Gu Changsheng walked to his side.

"Only the Xuanhuang Immortal Mansion remains."

The father and son looked at each other and said in unison: "First slay Zifu, then destroy Xuanhuang!"

"Rest for three days," Grand Marshal Gu Xuanqiong stepped onto the Dragon Carriage, his voice coming from behind the gauze curtains.

"In three days, the army sets out."

The night wind of the Eastern Region wailed across the ruins.

On this land, an even greater storm was about to descend.
