“Senior apprentice sister, do you think Master and the others can hold on until we return?” In the midst of that dense jungle, a young apprentice sister spoke with a worried expression.
“They will. Definitely.” The senior apprentice nodded, but the hesitation in her eyes deeply betrayed her uncertainty.
Because she couldn’t be sure whether their sect could survive until then.
They had been living peacefully in their sect, which had always kept to itself and rarely participated in conflicts between sects. Yet one day, their peaceful existence was shattered when a powerful sect set its sights on them.
Intent on annihilation.
They couldn’t understand why Jiuxiao Sect, the most prestigious sect in the western region, would want to destroy their small, insignificant sect. There had been no conflicts of interest between the two sects at all.
At this moment, they had fled all the way here, seeking help from other sects to resolve the crisis threatening their own.
Just as they were rushing forward, a long sword suddenly appeared from the void, emitting a dazzling light. In an instant, it plunged into the ground ahead, blocking their path.
“Remnants of the Moon Palace Sect, where do you think you’re running this time?” At that moment, dozens of figures descended from the sky.
“The Jiuxiao Sect members have caught up!” The disciples of the Moon Palace Sect’s faces changed instantly.
“Senior apprentice sister, what should we do?” A female disciple asked with a pale face. Jiuxiao Sect disciples were ruthless, and many of their senior and junior sisters had died at their hands.
They had already washed off the tracking powder they carried, yet Jiuxiao Sect members had caught up with them so quickly. Who would have thought?
Was heaven determined to cut off the Moon Palace Sect’s path to survival?
The strongest fighter in the Moon Palace Sect only had the cultivation level of high-stage Heaven Realm, still far from the ultimate perfection stage. If not for the protective mountain formation resisting the invasion, the sect would have been destroyed long ago.
If they couldn’t seek help from other sects, then the destruction of the Moon Palace Sect was only a matter of time.
“Take this opportunity to fight our way out.” Mu Han’s face showed a determined expression.
Although breaking through the encirclement was extremely difficult, if they surrendered without resistance, they would have no hope at all.
Moon Palace Sect disciples tightened their grip on their weapons. They had lived in isolation for so long that they rarely had actual combat experience. Facing a group of ferocious enemies, they felt fear deep in their hearts.
“Haha, it’s said that the Moon Palace Sect’s disciples are as beautiful as celestial maidens. Seeing them today, the rumors are indeed true. Seventeen disciples at the Divine Perception stage, one at the middle-stage Heaven Realm—quite impressive, though still insufficient.” At this moment, a middle-aged man from Jiuxiao Sect stepped forward.
The man had a hooked nose, his face full of pockmarks, and his narrow eyes flickered with sinister light.
He had originally been imprisoned in the Jiuxiao Sect’s underground prison for disciplinary violations, but was later released by the sect leader to atone for his sins. For Li Tianxing, this was like receiving a heavenly blessing.
Li Tianxing, at high-stage Heaven Realm cultivation level, was considered quite accomplished within Jiuxiao Sect, even surpassing many inner sect disciples. His past transgression had been drugging and raping a junior apprentice sister from the same sect.
Now that he was out, the suppressed rage had nowhere to vent. Now, these easy targets had conveniently presented themselves—he wouldn’t waste this opportunity.
“Junior brothers, let me show you something entertaining,” Li Tianxing sneered coldly, his sinister face revealing a trace of licentiousness.
In an instant, Li Tianxing moved. With a flick of his sleeve, a sky filled with toxic mist surged forth, enveloping all eighteen Moon Palace Sect disciples.
“Don’t inhale! This mist is poisonous!” Mu Han cried out in alarm the moment she sensed something wrong.
At that moment, the Moon Palace Sect disciples circulated their true energy, forming protective barriers around their bodies to resist the mist’s corrosion.
“Haha, surrender now. Your energy barriers won’t withstand this,” Li Tianxing sneered coldly, the delicate figures before him greatly exciting him.
Especially the sweet fragrance弥漫in the air, which was incredibly alluring.
Some Jiuxiao Sect disciples who had followed him frowned slightly—again with these despicable tactics—but none dared provoke Li Tianxing.
Within the sect, they had all heard of his reputation—his penchant for killing and his cruel methods.
“Senior apprentice sister, we can’t hold on!” At this moment, a Moon Palace Sect disciple cried out in panic. In an instant, her energy barrier shattered, her nose and mouth inhaling the green mist. Her entire body suddenly went limp, collapsing to the ground, unable to muster even the strength to stand.
Mu Han’s expression changed drastically. The protective barriers, under continuous erosion from the mist, finally dissipated completely.
“Haha, how is it? My Bone-Softening Powder is quite effective, isn’t it?” Li Tianxing laughed loudly. Though he was a high-stage Heaven Realm expert, he had great expertise in the use of poisons, especially those targeting women.
“You… despicable!” Mu Han glared up at Li Tianxing, never expecting a high-stage Heaven Realm expert to resort to such underhanded methods.
“Despicable? No, no… I just don’t want to ruin these beauties. Fellow junior brothers, this little lady is mine. The rest of you can divide the others among yourselves. Do whatever you please with them, torture them as you wish—haha…” Li Tianxing’s pockmarked face broke into a terrifying grin, his eyes seemingly piercing through the women below.
“Don’t waste your strength. Right now, you won’t even have the strength to commit suicide. Of course, after you’ve had your fun, I’ll personally send you all on your way…” Li Tianxing licked his lips, clearly eager to proceed.
“Senior Brother Li, perhaps we should just kill them quickly. Such despicable acts are beneath us,” one Jiuxiao Sect disciple said uncomfortably at this point.
Li Tianxing, who had been smiling, immediately turned icy cold, fixing the disciple with a terrifying glare that chilled him to the bone.
“Senior Brother…”
“Junior Brother, do you really think my actions are despicable?” Li Tianxing approached the disciple, his cold expression suddenly shifting to one of feigned warmth.
“Senior Brother, our Jiuxiao Sect is a prestigious sect. Destroying another sect is a strategic move, but to trample upon their disciples like this—how is that any different from demons? I disagree,” the disciple said, taking a steady breath.
“Pltch…”
“Senior Brother, you…” The disciple couldn’t believe Li Tianxing would suddenly attack him. He looked in disbelief at the dagger piercing his chest before expiring.
“Hmph, ungrateful fool.” Li Tianxing snorted coldly, retracting the dagger coated in potent poison.
“Do any of you also think Senior Brother is despicable?” Li Tianxing glared coldly at the crowd. Anyone daring to nod would immediately be sent to the afterlife.
The Jiuxiao Sect disciples looked at Li Tianxing in fear. In truth, they shared the same thoughts as the recently deceased junior brother—they shouldn’t be trampling upon enemy sect disciples. Such despicable tactics were unworthy of true men.
Under Li Tianxing’s threatening words, no one dared utter a sound.
“Oh my, fellow junior brothers, since Senior Brother has asked us to do this, we shouldn’t disappoint him, right?” At this moment, one disciple stepped forward to speak. This Li Tianxing was a ruthless killer, and they couldn’t afford to create conflict with him now. They could report his crimes to the elders later.
No one knew why the sect leader had chosen to release this man.
“En…”
At this moment, though unwilling, the Jiuxiao Sect disciples had no other choice. They sighed helplessly as they looked toward the enemy sect’s female disciples.
“Little beauty, come serve this master properly.” At this moment, Li Tianxing laughed loudly and stepped forward.
“Don’t come near…” Mu Han’s face showed terror, but her entire body had no strength at all. She couldn’t even move, let alone fight back against her enemy.
…
“Has the Jiuxiao Sect become a place for such despicable acts?” Suddenly, a furious voice echoed from the void.
Li Tianxing was greatly startled, not knowing who had arrived.
The Moon Palace Sect disciples, whose eyes had been filled with despair, now sparkled with hope as they searched for the source of the voice.
Who… who was it…
