Chapter 315: Hai Wu Liang's Ruthlessness [Two-in-One]
Chapter 315: Hai Wu Liang's Ruthlessness [Two-in-One]
Mu Lin Yuan and the other two fell silent, sighing, and even feeling a bit stunned.
Yin Shengong's eyes flashed, and he said, "However, now that the focus is on the Night Demon Sect, our One Heart Sect's restrictions should be lifted soon."
Mu Lin Yuan was speechless, "In this situation, the Night Demon Sect has put in so much effort, and now the One Heart Sect is lifting the restrictions early, which can even be considered a credit to the Night Demon Sect. Yet, after lifting the restrictions, you immediately go after the Night Demon Sect... This..."
Yin Shengong angrily said, "What do you mean by 'going after'? This is a test! Just that little brat, is he worth the effort of 'going after' by our Sect Leader?"
As he spoke, Yin Shengong suddenly remembered the final ceremony of the Cultivation Divine Plan.
The Night Demon Sect, in front of everyone in the world, didn't use the Spatial Ring or the Divine Essence Crystal, fearing an accident.
He couldn't help but feel a moment of softness in his heart, and sighed, "Rest assured, I'll be careful. But he must not be allowed to kill the Guardians! That's the bottom line!"
Mu Lin Yuan and the other two weakly agreed, all feeling a bit reluctant to speak.
They even had a feeling of 'not wanting to see Yin Shengong's ugly face.'
Yin Shengong also felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, plotting against his own disciple wasn't something to be proud of.
So, he stood up to speak with Mei Da Ren, discussing the matter of lifting the One Heart Sect's ban.
"Today's matter, we must not tell the Night Demon Sect."
"Yes..." he said weakly.
...
Two days later...
At the Night Demon Sect's headquarters...
Hai Wu Liang looked at his four guardians and four reverends, and said coldly, "You all split up and leave as fast as you can. If there's a fight, break through with all your strength."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
"After leaving, find another place to hide and wait for my summons."
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
"Go."
The eight of them flew off in different directions.
Then, Hai Wu Liang took out the Communication Jade and contacted the Five Spirit Toad.
His face was calm, his eyes were calm, but he quietly looked at the messages on it with a cold smile.
There were still countless curses.
There was also an order from the Southeast Headquarters demanding him to report immediately.
Additionally, there was a secret message: "The Southeast Headquarters has dispatched an enforcement team to arrest you."
This message made Hai Wu Liang's eyes burn with intensity.
"Arrest me!"
Hai Wu Liang looked at the message with a cold gaze, and suddenly, a silent, cold smile appeared on his face.
"Not only the Southeast Headquarters, but even the Main Sect and the noble families have probably sent experts, right? To kill me? Haha..."
Hai Wu Liang silently laughed.
His expression gradually turned sinister.
"It's over, just like that. Over a thousand years of effort, hundreds of years of planning, all turned into a dream."
"The anger of thousands of families, the Main Sect won't bear it for me, a small Night Demon Sect leader."
"So this time, even if I can prove my innocence, there's no chance. Sacrificing one Hai Wu Liang to calm the anger of thousands of families... it's inevitable."
Hai Wu Liang muttered to himself.
As the leader of a sect and a high-ranking figure, he was well aware of what those above were thinking.
Sacrificing himself was an inevitable decision that didn't require consideration.
If he were the head of the Southeast Headquarters, perhaps the Main Sect might still stand up for him. But that was just a possibility.
But I'm not! If I really go to the Southeast Headquarters or the Only Righteous Sect's headquarters, that's when I'm truly doomed! "Yin Shengong, you've really hit hard this time!"
Hai Wu Liang clenched his teeth.
He stared at the Night Demon Sect's headquarters, which he had struggled and built for a lifetime.
"If I die, who will the Night Demon Sect belong to? Who will benefit from it?"
With this thought, his face suddenly turned pale.
Then, he turned around and returned to the Night Demon Sect's headquarters.
In the darkness of the night, Hai Wu Liang's shadow moved like a ghost, appearing and disappearing at the Night Demon Sect's headquarters.
Countless powders were sprinkled into all the water sources by him.
"The fruits of my efforts for hundreds of years, how could they be easily plucked by others?"
"If there were other uses, I wouldn't mind, but now, hmph, all of you, go and wait for my orders."
The night deepened.
Hai Wu Liang had sprinkled the powder three times in all water sources, and then he held the Communication Jade, waiting calmly.
Outside, the eight who had left, in eight directions, if they were...
Deep in the night.
One of the eight who had left sent a message: "Sect Leader, I escaped with severe injuries after a fierce battle outside..."
Coldness flashed in Hai Wu Liang's eyes.
"There's indeed a pursuit!"
He immediately sent messages to the other seven, but there was no response.
"Indeed, they've all been killed."
Hai Wu Liang's eyes were deep and mysterious, as if lost in thought.
"The pursuers aren't from the Main Sect or the Southeast Headquarters. Based on the timing, they couldn't have arrived so quickly. So, they must be the Guardians, blocking all eight directions?"
"Haha... The Only Righteous Sect, which I've served loyally for a lifetime, wants to kill me, and now the Guardians too? All eight directions are blocked?
"Haha... I, Hai Wu Liang, have reached such a legendary state."
The man muttered, his chilling laughter echoing through the cold, black-clad figure, suddenly swaying in the windless air. But a desperate, hysterical energy emanated from him, yet it quietly dissipated.
Dawn broke, and the Night Demon Sect's headquarters bustled with morning activities.
Smoke rose.
Hai Wuliang stood expressionless in the wind, holding a piece of poison smoke that continuously rose, blending into the valley's air and the cooking smoke...
He feared... that the poison wasn't enough.
If there was one left, they would be contaminated by my light, Hai Wuliang! Moments later, someone screamed in agony.
"My... throat... what's happening?"
"I can't muster my spiritual energy..."
"My eyes! Ah... what's going on?"
"Poison? Who poisoned us?"
"..."
The quiet valley suddenly became chaotic.
Panicked screams echoed from all directions.
Some cultivators with higher cultivation levels endured the discomfort and rushed out of the valley.
At the valley's entrance, a black-robed figure stood tall and imposing, his eyes gleaming with cruel light like a fierce ghost.
It was the Night Demon Sect's leader, Hai Wuliang.
"Sect Leader!"
The crowd rejoiced, "We've been ambushed and poisoned. Sect Leader... you..."
Hai Wuliang replied indifferently, "Who dares ambush the Night Demon Sect? You're overreacting. Go back and stand guard!"
"Sect Leader... we've been poisoned!"
"Stand guard even if you're poisoned!"
"Sect Leader..."
As they spoke, another large group rushed in, some staggering as their bodies started to rot.
Those at the valley's entrance felt an itch all over, and upon touching their bodies, they were indeed rotting.
The black-robed figure, Hai Wuliang, stood at the entrance, observing the valley with an unreadable expression.
Hai Wuliang's cold, murderous gaze made them instantly understand.
"Sect Leader?"
Someone asked in despair, "Why?"
"There's no reason."
Hai Wuliang replied indifferently, "It's just that you've grown weary of this world... so I'm sending you off."
This poison... was set by the Sect Leader himself?
He intended to kill everyone?
From disbelief to acceptance, their emotions shifted, and then rage ignited.
Suddenly, a loud boom: "Hai Wuliang, what do you mean by this?"
"He poisoned us, and he must have the antidote!"
"Charge! Kill him! Get the antidote!"
"The antidote!"
"Kill!"
Before they could act, Hai Wuliang took the initiative, waving his hands, and instantly, a large cloud of colorful poison smoke appeared, carried by the wind into the valley.
Screams filled the air.
"I can't see..."
"Ah..."
Hai Wuliang observed coldly as hundreds of people gradually rotted, falling one by one to the ground.
Some took their last breath, while others were already dead.
The bodies rapidly decayed.
His gaze remained icy, devoid of emotion.
He continued to stand at the valley's entrance.
Alert and watchful.
After a long while, the valley fell silent.
Deadly stillness! Hai Wuliang's black robe fluttered as he entered the valley.
Corpses littered the ground.
Men, women, the elderly, and children—no one survived.
Not a single living soul remained.
Not even the snakes, insects, or rats in the valley survived.
He surveyed the area, and some cautious elders who had hidden in underground chambers were found and personally eliminated.
Finally, Hai Wuliang stood at the highest point, gazing down at the utterly silent headquarters, smelling the blood that rose to the heavens. He stared at his bloodstained hands, and suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.
"Hahaha..."
"It's perfect!"
"Fucking perfect!"
"They pushed me? Tried to kill me? Hahaha..."
"I'm the leader of a sect. If I let them live, they live. If I let them die, they die!"
"Who dares to pluck my peaches? Hahaha... Apart from me, who can control the Night Demon Sect?"
He searched again, ensuring no one survived, and only then did he feel at ease.
Hai Wuliang's laughter echoed cruelly.
In the distant mountains, countless birds took flight in alarm.
His body transformed into an arrow, shooting towards the main hall of the headquarters.
A loud boom.
The Night Demon Sect's headquarters, protected by illusions, was shattered by Hai Wuliang's palm.
The purple crystal shattered into powder and scattered in all directions.
A black shadow flashed, and Hai Wuliang spat out blood, his body suddenly transforming into a black streak in the dawn sky, flying towards the mountains.
Blood Burning Technique! Hai Wuliang, even before encountering an enemy, had already unleashed the Blood Burning Technique at full power! His speed increased by more than tenfold compared to his usual full speed.
A hissing sound, and in the air, he transformed into a faint smoke.
...
Yan Jun Di, Yang Luoyu, had been ordered to seal off this mountain range for a long time.
However, there was no news in the initial days.
Nor were there any abnormalities.
The search for the Night Demon Sect's headquarters yielded no results, as if the sect had never existed in these mountains.
But last night, eight people broke through the encirclement from eight different directions, and they were all high-level experts.
The situation was sudden, and Yang Luoyu led the pursuit, killing seven of them.
However, one escaped.
This made Yang Luoyu's face darken.
One managed to escape! But why did the Night Demon Sect suddenly deploy eight Emperor-ranked experts? This must be their entire elite force, right? And they're all sacrificing themselves? Has Hai Wu Liang gone mad?
There must be a reason for this.
As Yang Luo Yu thought about this, his anxiety intensified.
"The illusion array ahead, is it still impenetrable?"
"Yes, Lord Yang. This illusion array is extremely cunning, set up in nine different locations, all responding to each other. We can confirm that the Night Demon Sect's headquarters is in this area, but we can't pinpoint its exact location."
"Can't find it?"
Yang Luo Yu grew impatient, "Keep searching! We must find it today! Otherwise, the Night Demon Sect might..."
Just then...
Suddenly, a loud explosion reverberated.
Ahead, countless scenes, both real and illusory, shattered and disappeared like bubbles, revealing nine tranquil valleys that had been hidden all along.
"The illusion array is broken!"
Everyone cheered.
Yang Luo Yu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly sensed something. His body darted forward like an arrow.
"Hai Wu Liang!!"
Yang Luo Yu shouted fiercely.
A thousand zhang away in the direction Yang Luo Yu was heading, a faint figure, almost invisible, was flying towards the distance like a meteor from beyond the sky.
The speed had reached its extreme! It was impossible to see clearly in the morning light.
Yang Luo Yu pursued at full speed, but having started later than his opponent, he couldn't catch up. The other party's speed was simply too fast.
"Blood Burning Technique!"
Although he couldn't see the face, Yang Luo Yu was certain that the person ahead was the Night Demon Sect's leader, the infamous Demon Lord Hai Wu Liang!
It had to be him!
No one else could have such speed.
"Hai Wu Liang!"
A fierce roar, and his voice shook the air!
In his frantic pursuit, Yan Jun Di flew out of his hand.
With the force of a galloping thunder, it went like a meteor! Two thousand zhang away...
Hai Wu Liang was struck as if by lightning, with Yan Jun Di piercing through his back and exiting his right chest! After piercing his chest, Yan Jun Di flew forward several hundred zhang before spinning back.
Hai Wu Liang was severely injured, but he didn't stop at all. Instead, he spat out a mouthful of blood and used the Blood Burning Technique again, madly charging into the dense forest and disappearing from sight.
"Yang Luo Yu, you want to kill me? Haha..."
The cruel laughter echoed in the air, and Hai Wu Liang had completely vanished.
Yang Luo Yu's body swayed like the wind, and he grabbed the returning Yan Jun Di, ready to strike again, but his target had already disappeared.
He chased madly for over a thousand li, completely losing track of his target.
Finally, he stopped and sighed softly.
"Indeed, the leader of a sect."
Yang Luo Yu sighed lightly.
Hai Wu Liang was already at the Venerable rank, and his level wasn't low. With the speed of a Venerable-ranked cultivator, combined with the Blood Burning Technique, his speed increased by several dozen times...
Although Yang Luo Yu's cultivation was much higher than Hai Wu Liang's, facing such a situation, he could only feel helpless.
Turning back, on the other side, everyone had found the Night Demon Sect's headquarters.
However, to everyone's shock, there wasn't a single living person in the Night Demon Sect's headquarters.
It was a complete graveyard.
Men, women, and children, regardless of status, had all turned into corpses.
Even many poisonous insects and the like had suffered the same fate.
The entire valley was filled with bodies, young and old, lying in disarray. Not a single soul had survived.
All the corpses were rapidly decaying.
"Over seventeen thousand lives, all gone! Completely wiped out!"
After counting the bodies, everyone felt a sense of dread.
Although these were Night Demon Sect cultivators, known for their evil deeds, seeing so many deaths right before their eyes was still hard to accept.
It was utterly heartless!
"Why?"
"Poison!"
"Poison?"
"Yes."
"Have you searched?"
"We searched."
"What about the valuables?"
"They're all here. But they're all poisoned, even the silver bills. The poison on them is enough to kill many people. We can't take them back; we can only clean them here slowly. After cleaning and inspecting them, we can bring them back. Otherwise, if these silver bills circulate, they might cause a lot of trouble."
"But these valuables and spirit crystals are extremely valuable. As long as we clean them properly, they will greatly benefit the people and the cultivators of the Guardian Pavilion and the Law Enforcement Pavilion. So, we must not abandon them."
"We can only stay here and handle them."
Yang Luo Yu was speechless and cursed, "This Hai Wu Liang is truly heartless!"
"Lord Yang, Hai Wu Liang has left these valuables behind for a reason. He must have a purpose, and it feels like... he wants us to stay here for a few days."
"I feel the same. Hai Wu Liang must have a motive; otherwise, he wouldn't do this."
Yang Luo Yu frowned, "What motive?"
Just then, a loud shout came from a distance, "Southeast Headquarters' order! Hai Wu Liang, the leader of the Night Demon Sect, come out and greet us!"
"So that's it!"
Yang Luo Yu was extremely frustrated and said, "Damn it! I'm going to be Hai Wu Liang's henchman..."
His body darted out, and Yan Jun Di suddenly flashed with brilliant light, "Die!"
A fierce battle ensued.
Yang Luoyu led his men to kill the six experts from the Only Righteous Sect's Southeast Headquarters, leaving no one alive.
Only then did he feel a sense of relief.
"Why did Hai Wuliang do this? Why did the Southeast Headquarters come to arrest Hai Wuliang? These matters... How are they so confusing...?"
Yang Luoyu was filled with questions.
"The Ninth Master must know, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me here. We'll ask him when we return."
"Hurry up and take care of things, and get some vehicles. There's too much treasure, and my spatial ring can't hold it all."
"Yes."
"This damn... It's quite a significant harvest!"
...
The Night Demon Sect is annihilated!
The news spread, and in an instant, it shook the entire world!
The headquarters was left with nothing, completely wiped out.
The Night Demon Sect Leader, Hai Wuliang, escaped, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The Southeastern Seventeen Provinces were shaken.
The Demon Sect's Southeast Headquarters was in turmoil.
Even the Only Righteous Sect's headquarters was shaken.
After thorough investigations, it was finally understood: Hai Wuliang knew that he would undoubtedly die, so he poisoned and directly destroyed the Night Demon Sect's main branch!
The intention was clear.
If I can't have it, neither can you!
When this news arrived, even the Deputy Sect Leader Yan Nan was furious!
"The entire sect is to capture Hai Wuliang alive. Those who capture him alive will receive 5,000 points, and those who kill him will receive 2,500 points!"
The Only Righteous Sect's headquarters, filled with noble families, cursed in unison and dispatched their men.
Meanwhile, the Guardian Headquarters issued an order: "All members, pursue and kill Hai Wuliang!"
In an instant, Hai Wuliang became the enemy of the world.
The Demon Sect wanted to kill, and the righteous sects also wanted to kill!
This treatment, throughout the entire continent, had only occurred a few times in history, especially in the past ten thousand years. Hai Wuliang was absolutely a scorpion's tail.
Dongfang Sansan was in a state of emergency, reviewing the situation: "Logically, this shouldn't be the case... Where did this new assistance come from? Was it a backstab, or was it one of our own?"
"After the Night Demon Sect's disappearance, what can the Guardians do? How should we utilize this opportunity? Should we directly fill the gap, or is there a better way to make use of it?"
"The noble families in the Only Righteous Sect's headquarters now have some united strength. Should we keep this force to benefit the Guardians, or should we disperse it again?"
"The destruction of the Night Demon Sect is a great thing. But will this affect Fang Che?"
"After all, the Yin Shen Palace is on par with Hai Wuliang, and now that Hai Wuliang is gone, how does the Yin Shen Palace feel? Will they fear the Night Demon Sect?"
"If they do fear, what will the Yin Shen Palace do?"
"Should we cooperate and suppress them once more? No, no, after all, my position is too low. If we repeatedly suppress them, it would be making a mountain out of a molehill."
"..."
Dongfang Sansan, in her own room, was deep in thought, her mind filled with countless stars twinkling and flickering.
She tried her best to reason it out, her eyes sparkling with determination.
Then, she issued commands one after another.
...
"The Night Demon Sect is gone just like that?"
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Wushang, Zheng Yunqi, and the others were stunned.
We only wanted Hai Wuliang to take the fall... How did they directly eliminate him and the Night Demon Sect together?
Was this our doing?
However, it must be said that after this incident, all the little demon lords' eyes lit up, and their hearts were filled with newfound confidence.
Courage.
"So, we can do something this big!"
"So, with our strength, as long as we use it well, we can destroy a sect!"
"We aren't so useless. When we unite, our strength is truly formidable."
"..."
However, when Zheng Yunqi and a few others gathered, their words were completely different.
With different perspectives and visions, what they saw was also completely different.
"The Starlight Commander is truly formidable!"
Zheng Yunqi was in awe: "Using our forces, we destroyed the Night Demon Sect! And we truly cleared our names!"
"From now on, there will be no more denunciations."
"In the future, if there are any issues, we can simply blame the Night Demon Sect and Hai Wuliang, and everything will be fine."
"After all, the dead cannot defend themselves!"
Zheng Yunqi, Zhao Wushang, Jiang Bin, Wu Lianlian, Zhou Meier, Zhao Wubai, Tian Wan Qing, and seven or eight others discussed the matter, feeling both joy and shock.
The Starlight Commander's abilities once again gave them a new understanding.
After receiving the family's message, Zhou Meier sighed softly: "If we could always be under the leadership of the Starlight Commander... What achievements could we reach?"
"The Commander truly understands our abilities and the power behind us, as well as the strength of our unity. Under the Commander's leadership, I feel much stronger than if we were to return and develop on our own."
"Because our individual strengths are so insignificant. Only by uniting can we display astonishing power. But after returning, it's not that we don't have the opportunity to unite; it's just that... we have no say."
Zhou Meier sighed deeply.
