Chapter 221 : The Complete Annihilation of the Righteous Path Alliance
Chapter 221: The Complete Annihilation of the Righteous Path Alliance
At this moment, on Floating Cloud Mountain, more than a thousand li away from Baiyun City, a great number of Righteous Path cultivators had already gathered.
These Righteous Path cultivators had joined forces, each filled with righteous indignation.
They had all previously heard of the Blood Demons. Moreover, among these Righteous Path cultivators, many disciples from various sects had been slaughtered to the last by the Blood Demons, causing them to hate them with every fiber of their being.
The Blood Demons' methods were incomparably brutal. Whenever they made a move, they either massacred entire villages and destroyed cities, or directly assaulted sects, slaughtering everyone within and wiping those sects from existence.
Under such circumstances, although they wished to take revenge, they lacked the necessary strength.
In the end, they had written to the Qingyun Sect, seeking its assistance.
The Qingyun Sect had indeed dispatched many disciples and elders down the mountain, but all of them had been killed by the Blood Demons. This caused these Righteous Path cultivators to lose confidence in the Qingyun Sect as well.
Afterward, for the sake of their own survival, they united together and prepared to strike collectively on Floating Cloud Mountain, intending to kill those Blood Demons.
At this moment, more than a thousand cultivators had gathered on Floating Cloud Mountain, forming an exceptionally powerful force.
Among these cultivators, the strongest was an independent cultivator possessing the Upper Purity Realm, while even the weakest had the strength of the Third or Fourth Level of the Jade Purity Realm.
Such a force was already comparable in numbers to one of the three great Righteous Path sects, Burning Incense Valley, differing only somewhat in the strength of its upper echelon.
At this moment, Cangyunzi, who had been temporarily elected as their leader, looked at the scene below with an expression of great excitement.
He was an expert possessing the Third Level of the Upper Purity Realm from the Qingyun Sect.
Previously, he had been an independent cultivator. Across the entire Divine Continent, he enjoyed considerable prestige, and wherever he went, the various sects treated him with the utmost courtesy.
However, he had never before become the alliance leader of so many Righteous Path cultivators. His heart swelled with pride, feeling that his life had reached its pinnacle.
He even secretly began entertaining the ambition of becoming the leader of the entire Righteous Path.
This time, once these Righteous Path cultivators eliminated those Blood Demons,
he even intended to keep these Righteous Path cultivators together to establish a permanent alliance, with himself continuing to serve as its leader.
After that, he would find a way to dismantle the three great Righteous Path sects and then become the supreme leader of the Righteous Path beneath the heavens,
leading all of them to completely exterminate every member of the Demonic Sect.
As he thought of these things, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.
Just then, four figures suddenly appeared over Floating Cloud Mountain.
The auras of these four figures were incomparably powerful. Beside each of them floated an enormous banner, beneath which endless black qi billowed.
Wherever this black qi passed, all life perished. The plants and animals touched by it instantly turned to dust, as though both their souls and vital blood had been stripped away.
At this moment, the four of them gazed at Floating Cloud Mountain before them, golden light filling their eyes.
One of them spoke to the person leading the group.
“Seventh Senior Brother, Floating Cloud Mountain is just ahead. Shall we make our move now?”
The man addressed as Seventh Senior Brother immediately nodded and said, “Don't waste any more time. That Qingyun Sect expert is still hunting us everywhere. We need to wipe out these Righteous Path cultivators as quickly as possible, extract their souls, and send them into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Let's see whether our Ten Thousand Souls Banner can undergo a complete transformation.
If four banners aren't enough, then let one complete its transformation first.
At that time, we'll have the strength to contend against that woman from the Qingyun Sect.
Once we kill that woman from the Qingyun Sect, not only will we obtain the so-called Zhuxian Sword of the Qingyun Sect,
but we'll also be able to storm the Qingyun Sect itself and destroy the so-called three great Righteous Path sects in one fell swoop.”
Another disciple dressed in black nodded in agreement before saying, “Since that's the case, Senior Brother, the four of us should attack from four directions to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.”
The man known as Seventh Senior Brother also nodded.
“Good. Then we'll attack from all four directions simultaneously.”
With that, the four figures flashed away, flying toward their designated directions.
After reaching their positions, they all rose into the sky. Without concealing their auras in the slightest, the four enormous banners released boundless black qi, completely enveloping Floating Cloud Mountain.
The disturbance below the mountain naturally alarmed the Righteous Path cultivators on Floating Cloud Mountain, and when they witnessed this scene, all of them were greatly shocked.
At the same time, after sensing those four terrifying auras, fear spread through their hearts.
When Cangyunzi sensed the horrifying aura coming from below the mountain, his expression changed slightly.
However, remembering that more than a thousand cultivators had gathered on Floating Cloud Mountain, he relaxed somewhat before shouting loudly,
“Everyone, don't panic! Although those attacking us are powerful, we have over a thousand people on our side. What is there to fear? Come with me and see exactly which reckless fools dare to attack us!”
After hearing Cangyunzi's words, the many Righteous Path cultivators also calmed down somewhat and quickly responded,
“We shall follow the Alliance Leader's command!”
Without further hesitation, Cangyunzi spread his figure and flew outward.
When Cangyunzi led the multitude of Righteous Path cultivators out, they saw that the entirety of Floating Cloud Mountain had already been wrapped in a layer of dark clouds.
Meanwhile, four figures radiating terrifying auras floated high in the sky, coldly staring down at the so-called Righteous Path cultivators upon Floating Cloud Mountain.
Seeing this, Cangyunzi's heart sank.
However, as the temporarily elected leader of the Righteous Path, he still stepped forward, looked at the four terrifying figures in the sky, and roared,
“Who are you people? How dare you come to Floating Cloud Mountain and cause trouble? Don't you know this is where our Righteous Path Alliance has gathered?”
After hearing Cangyunzi's words, the burly Seventh Senior Brother sneered.
“Hah. An alliance formed by insignificant ants like you? Why should we fear it? Besides, old man, are you the strongest among this group?”
He then shook his head in disappointment.
Although there were many people, he discovered that only three or four of them had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, while everyone else was merely in the Qi Refinement Realm.
Such a lineup was indeed formidable by the standards of the native sects of this continent.
But to the four of them, they were nothing more than ants.
All four of them were experts at the Late to Peak Golden Core Realm, and this time they had also brought four Ten Thousand Souls Banners.
With their strength, wiping out these people would require no effort whatsoever.
Hearing the black-robed man's arrogant words, Cangyunzi coldly demanded,
“Who exactly are you? Why have you trespassed upon Floating Cloud Mountain?”
The Seventh Senior Brother merely sneered.
“Wasn't the reason you all gathered here to deal with the four of us?”
Upon hearing the burly man's words, Cangyunzi's expression changed drastically.
“You... you're the Blood Demons?”
Seventh Senior Brother immediately nodded before saying mockingly,
“That's right. We are the Blood Demons. Weren't you planning to deal with us? Well, we're here now. If you've got the ability, then make your move.”
After hearing that these people were the Blood Demons, Cangyunzi and the many Righteous Path cultivators behind him all glared furiously at the four.
Yet not a single person dared to attack.
The pressure radiating from those four was simply too terrifying.
Seeing this, Cangyunzi said with an ugly expression,
“Blood Demons, why have you come here today?” (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
The Seventh Senior Brother burst into loud laughter.
“You still can't guess why we've come? We've come to wipe all of you out!”
Hearing those words, Cangyunzi sneered.
“Blood Demons, I admit your strength is formidable, but there are over a thousand Righteous Path cultivators gathered here. If we truly fight, the outcome is far from certain. Are you really determined to make your move?”
Upon hearing Cangyunzi's words, Seventh Senior Brother looked as though he had just heard the greatest joke in the world.
No matter how many ants at the Foundation Establishment Realm gathered together, what difference could they possibly make?
He sneered.
“With nothing but ants like you, what harm could you possibly do to us? Besides, if you want to compete in numbers, you're simply courting death.”
He then turned to the other junior brothers beside him.
“Junior Brothers, let them see whose side truly has the greater numbers.”
The other three black-robed disciples sneered repeatedly and nodded.
Finally, they formed hand seals.
In an instant, black clouds surged from the Ten Thousand Souls Banners, and countless souls flew out from within them, floating behind the four.
Looking at the ever-increasing sea of souls blotting out the sky, Cangyunzi cried out in horror,
“Damn you! You've actually extracted the souls of those living beings and refined them into those giant banners behind you. Aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution for doing something so evil?”
The four merely sneered.
“Heavenly retribution? That's the biggest joke we've heard all year. Don't you understand that the law of this world is the survival of the fittest? Where would heavenly retribution come from? Enough. It's time for you all to die.”
With that, he stopped speaking and flicked a finger.
Immediately, countless Vengeful Souls surged toward Cangyunzi and the others.
Meanwhile, the four of them simply stood in the sky, watching the powerless resistance of the many Righteous Path cultivators below.
The four Ten Thousand Souls Banners they possessed had already gathered nearly one hundred thousand souls and were now capable of unleashing the power of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
Faced with such terrifying might, the many Righteous Path cultivators below had virtually no ability to resist.
Only a short while later, Floating Cloud Mountain once again fell silent.
The more than one thousand Righteous Path cultivators who had originally gathered there had all perished.
