Chapter 333 [Killing a Celestial Realm cultivator is like killing a chicken!]

Chapter 327 [Killing a Celestial Realm cultivator is like killing a chicken!]

"Muya, are you getting senile, so you're blind too?" Donghai curled his lip and sneered, "I killed them all."

"you!!"

Muya swayed and staggered back two steps, pointing at Donghai and shouting angrily, "How dare you! You, you dare to slaughter the license holders who participated in the Heaven-Piercing Ceremony! That violates a great taboo of my Ghost Clan!"

Even if you are a sword servant under the Ancestor, having committed such a grave crime, you will still be punished, you will still be punished…

Donghai laughed heartily, took two steps forward, completely ignoring the few ghost clan nobles who had barged in and were secretly surrounding him, and stared at Muya, saying with a smile, "So what do you want? To kill me to atone for your crime?"

"Eastern Sea Sword Servant!"

Muya didn't speak; it was an elderly ghost with white hair who came in with him who spoke.

This person had a dignified appearance and a tall stature, unlike the dark-skinned and short stature of the typical ghost people. He looked tall and upright with fair skin. Although he looked quite old with white hair, he had a youthful face and rosy complexion.

Although this person was dressed in the attire of the Ghost Clan, he didn't look like a Ghost Clan member at all. Instead, he had the air of a nobleman from a powerful and wealthy family.

As soon as the man spoke, Muya immediately shut his mouth and turned slightly to stand beside the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man sighed and said in a deep voice, "East Sea Sword Attendant, don't try to argue with Elder Muya. You've done something so serious, so you must give us an explanation for what happened today! Otherwise, things will be difficult to resolve."

Donghai sneered: "You want an explanation?"

"Of course we must," the white-haired elder said coldly. "This is the territory of my Ghost Clan's Blackwood Tribe, located at the foot of the Holy Mountain. This place is also specifically for receiving participants of the Heaven-Shattering Ceremony from all realms!"
In full view of everyone, you killed twenty participants of the Heaven-Smashing Ceremony. How will the various regions of the realm, the clans and families of the world, and the millions of independent cultivators view my Ghost Clan?
If word gets out that my ghost clan slaughtered our guests?!
Even though you are a subordinate of the Ancestor, committing such a heinous crime requires you to be punished! The Ancestor will certainly not protect such a depraved act!

Donghai smiled faintly: "I am acting on the orders of the Ancestor. Do you dare to condemn me?"

The white-haired old man was taken aback. He raised an eyebrow and sneered, "I don't believe it! It's true that you serve under the Ancestor, but the Ancestor would never order you to do such an absurd thing! To indiscriminately kill those who participated in the Ghost Clan's Heaven-Piercing Ceremony in the core area of ​​my Blackwood Tribe!"

This is still such blatant slaughter, this kind of execution without questioning, without naming, without educating the victim!

"So, you don't acknowledge that I was acting on the orders of the Ancestor?"

"Our ancestor would never order anyone to do such a thing. The Heaven-Striking Ceremony is the most important cultivation ritual of our Ghost Clan! It is also related to the long-term cooperative relationship between our Ghost Clan and various sects and families in the realm!"

This was something our ancestor personally decreed long ago; how dare you spread such nonsense!

Donghai sighed.

The white-haired old man immediately perked up: "Are you willing to confess your guilt?"

Donghai smiled, but instead of answering, he shook his head and said, "I just remembered something else."

The white-haired old man frowned: "Eastern Sea Sword Attendant, don't try to change the subject, you..."

“Back then, before I broke through to the next realm, I was grateful to the Ancestor and served as his swordsman. I was also ordered by the Sage to be sent to a tribe to deliver a decree.” Donghai said leisurely, “That time, I went to their door, summoned the elders of that tribe, and then killed the cave master of that tribe with a single sword in front of everyone!”

Do you know how the other elders of that tribe reacted after I struck that sword and killed that cave master?

The white-haired old man's body trembled.

Donghai sneered, "Their reaction was to immediately kneel down and pray to the ancestor for forgiveness!"

The principle is very simple: I am a person sent by the sage ancestor, and whatever I do represents the sage ancestor's will.

They didn't tell me anything about rules, punishments, or punishing someone in public for not teaching them properly...

In their minds, I was sent by the ancestor, and I killed people because the ancestor ordered me to do so!
If the ancestor ordered me to kill someone, then there must be a reason behind it!
Therefore, none of them dared to question me, and not one of them dared to publicly question me about why I did that..."

At this point, Donghai paused deliberately, his eyes fixed on the white-haired old man: "Because! They! Are absolutely loyal to the Ancestor!"

The white-haired old man's eyes widened in surprise, and he instinctively flinched.

Donghai chuckled coldly twice and slowly said, "And you, you all, you Kuroki tribe..."

As Donghai spoke, his eyes swept over the nobles of the Blackwood Clan present, and he sneered, "It seems that all the elders of the Blackwood Clan are here."

I was sent by the Ancestor. I publicly issued an order to kill someone. For loyal followers, it should be naturally assumed that this was the Ancestor's will.

And you, you dare to question me, dare to refute me, dare to say that I killed you without teaching you, and even dare to ask me about my crime?
So, Kurokibe has become disloyal to the patriarch?

Upon hearing this, the elders were all startled and looked at each other in alarm.

The white-haired old man took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!! When has the Blackwood Clan ever been disloyal to our Ancestor!"
You were the one who started the chaos, broke the rules, and slaughtered innocent people!
You claim you were acting under orders, but do you have any proof? Donghai, can you produce the ancestral decree?

Donghai laughed heartily and shouted loudly, "Donghai, the sword attendant under the Sage's command, has been ordered to inspect the eighteen tribes of the Ghost Clan. Any misconduct under these eighteen tribes can be investigated and dealt with. The Ancestor has granted me permission to act expediently, regardless of the means!"

He spoke in a loud voice, and as he uttered each word, a golden rune pattern slowly appeared above his head, flashing brightly in the air a few times before slowly fading away.

This is proof of the ancestor's decree—if he recites the decree he received and reads it aloud without any falsehood, the seal left by the ancestor will appear.

If you are lying, the Dharma seal will not appear.

After Donghai revealed the decree seal bestowed by the ancestor, some of the elders present showed fear, and some even subconsciously considered retreating.

The white-haired old man's eyes also sharpened. After a moment of struggle, his gaze suddenly darkened, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"The Ancestor's decree only permitted you to act expediently, not to commit such audacious acts! Your open slaughter of the license holders of the Heaven-Piercing Ceremony has violated the rules set by the Ancestor and ruined the great cause of my Ghost Clan! Do you think you can just use the words 'act expediently' to cover up such actions?!"

The white-haired old man questioned loudly, his tone seemingly resolute and full of confidence.

But Donghai just sneered: "Am I the one who serves the Ancestor, or are you the one who serves the Ancestor?"
"I am the patriarch's close attendant. My interpretation of the patriarch's orders is not valid; why should you be the one to interpret them?"

As he spoke, Donghai stared at the white-haired old man: "The Ancestor has granted me permission to investigate and handle this matter without questioning the methods used, and to act as I see fit!"

But you, you demand of me what methods are right and wrong—hmm, your Kuroki clan is very good, extremely good! You, as a clan elder, are even more powerful than the ancestor, aren't you?"

The white-haired old man was flustered and about to argue when Donghai suddenly threw out twenty tokens, which clattered to the ground!
"Old Muya of the Blackwood Tribe! He privately sold four tokens and handed them over to the He family of Western Xinjiang, receiving a small amount of money, totaling 3.6 million jade coins and a pair of top-grade five-colored jade!"

Upon hearing this, Muya's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he looked at Donghai as if he had seen a ghost.

“Old Crow of the Blackwood Tribe!” Donghai’s gaze shot to another elder, who was thin but tall, and he said coldly, “You selfishly sold five tokens and handed them over to the Star-Picking Tower Merchant Guild! You didn’t dare to take the jade money, but you did take a 30% stake in the Star-Picking Tower Merchant Guild’s shops in No Return City, and you even sent six of your nephews and disciples to the Star-Picking Tower and arranged for them to be managers in various merchant guilds in the Northern Frontier!”

The clan elder named Wang Ya's expression changed drastically, and he staggered back two steps.

“He Wang! As an elder of the Blackwood tribe, you have sold two tokens without authorization! And accepted…”

"Shufeng! As a priest of the Blackwood tribe, you never sold the tokens, but you helped cover up the truth. When you were praying to the ancestor, you manipulated the ritual to try to deceive the ancestor! You benefited from these people, and your clan's wealth increased threefold!"

Donghai's words were like swords, listing each one clearly, and he also took the lives of the remaining noble ghosts present, explaining their illegal deeds!
As he spoke one by one, everyone turned ashen-faced!
"Finally, it's your turn." Donghai stared intently at the white-haired old man: "Wooden Boat!"

The white-haired old man, however, was no longer afraid. His face was ashen, his eyes were like hooks, and he stared hatefully at the East Sea.

"Mu Zhou, as the cave master of the Blackwood Tribe, your rank is second only to Luo Xiuqing, the Yama King of the Blackwood Tribe! And Luo Xiuqing previously served as the chief of the eighteen tribes of the Ghost Clan, so he had no time to attend to much else. Therefore, in reality, most affairs within the Blackwood Tribe are handled with your utmost respect!"

Furthermore, as an elder of the Blackwood tribe and the head of the elders' council, you wield immense power within the Blackwood tribe!

Selling tokens for the Heavenly Ceremony privately is just a small trick you've pulled!

Over the past ten years, you have had transactions with the He family, the Gongye family, the Lu family, and the Mi family, and you have also received gifts totaling more than 60 million jade coins from the Luoxia Sect, the Shuangyue Sect, Julang Island, and the Xuanfa Sect.

The mid-grade magic treasure you hid in your pocket was a gift from the sect leader of the Xuanfa Sect!

In Huangjing and Baiyujing, you each have your own separate courtyards and cave dwellings. Furthermore, you hold shares in six merchant guilds, which entitle you to a share of millions of jade coins every year!

Over the past decade, the Blackwood Clan's trade with various sects, aristocratic families, and merchant guilds has increased by 30%, but its profits have declined year by year. Now, its annual profits have dropped to only 30% of what they used to be!

Not only did you turn your back on your own Kuroki clan, but you also willingly became a henchman for outsiders!
If an external sect that is in league with you sets its sights on a product from one of the other eighteen tribes of the Ghost Clan but cannot purchase a sufficient quantity, it will secretly collude with you to make the purchase.

You deliberately instigated conflicts between the Blackwood tribe and other tribes, provoking numerous frictions and battles, and using the power of the Blackwood tribe to oppress other tribes.

After the other tribes submit, you can then hint to them that they will sell their products at a low price to the sects or families you have designated!
Oh, I forgot to mention, the evil you've done doesn't stop there.

As a member of the Ghost Clan, you cultivate Ghost Clan techniques, but due to your advanced age and limited talent, your cultivation level has stagnated, and you have no hope of advancing further.

You know that your cultivation has no further potential, so you just want to prolong your life and enjoy the world more.

You coveted this, colluding with the Twin Moon Sect to practice their dual cultivation method! You engaged in sexual intercourse and used evil techniques to prolong your life!

To please you, the Twin Moon Sect is searching far and wide for suitable female cultivators to serve as your cultivation partners. Every month, they will secretly send you a pair of female cultivators whose fates, fortunes, and cultivation methods are all compatible, so that you can absorb their essence!

You've practiced evil arts for eight years, and at least twenty female cultivators have died from your sexual exploitation!

After Donghai finished speaking, the white-haired elder of the Muzhou clan gradually calmed down. He stared coldly at Donghai, but the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

“I publicly killed twenty token holders who privately bought your tokens, thus cutting off your source of income. Those sects and families that privately bought your tokens will definitely investigate this matter afterward. So, you're in a hurry, aren't you?”

Donghai laughed, but pointed at the wooden boat and said loudly, "However, there's more to your story than just that, isn't there?"

He pointed to the corpse of the man named Jiang Liu on the ground.

"This kid is your illegitimate son from outside, right? Raised in a sect or aristocratic family outside! But he still has your blood and the bloodline of the Ghost Clan, which is why you let him participate in the Heaven-Piercing Ceremony this time!"

Perhaps he can regain his identity, be recognized as a member of the Ghost Clan, and join the Blackwood Tribe. With your covert efforts, he can gradually rise to a high position.

In a few decades or a hundred years, he might become a nobleman of the Blackwood Clan. Do you, Muzhou and his father, intend to continue clinging to the Blackwood Clan, sucking blood from the Oni race?

After saying this, Donghai looked at Muzhou: "Muzhou, do you have anything to say?"

"no!"

Mu Zhou burst into wild laughter and shouted, "Since this has happened, and you're here for us, what else is there to say! What's done is done, and there's no point in saying anything now."

He took a deep breath, suddenly raised his voice, and roared: "Everyone, things have come to this point. Today, the East Sea is here to take our lives and destroy our foundation!"

When the time comes, it's either him or me who dies!

Gentlemen, let's join forces and kill him! Then we can escape the Southern Frontier! The world is vast, and with our abilities and businesses in various regions, we can hide our whereabouts and perhaps even become wealthy men!
If we surrender now, our wealth, property, and even the lives of our relatives will all be handed over to others!

After his resolute shout, the elders who had initially shown signs of fear gradually came to their senses, and some of them began to have fierce and determined looks in their eyes.

Some were still struggling with their own thoughts—after all, as high-ranking members of the Ghost Clan, they were intimidated by the ancestor's majesty and were still afraid.

Mu Zhou deliberately sneered: "Anyone still wavering? You must understand, our ancestor has always acted ruthlessly and decisively, but has he ever shown mercy to sinners?"

As soon as these words were spoken, sure enough, the two people who had been wavering earlier suddenly trembled, instantly realized what was happening, and looked towards the East China Sea, their eyes gradually revealing murderous intent.

“Good, very good, excellent.” Donghai nodded: “The Blackwood Clan Council has a total of eleven seats. Luo Xiuqing is currently being punished and is not in the Blackwood Clan.”

Of the remaining ten clan elders, nine are currently present!
Kurokibe is good, very good!

Of the eleven clan elders, including Luo Xiuqing who was punished for her mistakes, plus you all, ten out of twelve people disrespect the ancestor and commit illegal acts! Ha!!

"Enough with the nonsense, let's all work together to kill him! Everyone here today, including those four underlings, kill them too!"

Mu Zhou shouted sharply!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Zhou, Mu Ya, and several other clan elders all unleashed their auras!
In an instant, several astonishing bursts of spiritual energy erupted from the courtyard, their power overwhelming and their energy raging wildly! Including Mu Zhou, there were nine nobles of the Ghost Clan present, all nine elders of the Blackwood Tribe, all at the Celestial Realm!

The auras of the nine Celestial Realm cultivators surrounded Donghai. Although Donghai was also a Celestial Realm cultivator and a sword cultivator known for his combat prowess, he was now fighting against nine opponents. Although he released his Celestial Realm aura without reservation, it was clear that his aura was suppressed in an instant when facing nine opponents.

"Kill the big ones first, then kill the small ones!"

"Muya, you go and stop those four kids. The rest of you, come with me and kill Donghai! We can't let him escape alive today!!"

Mu Zhou shouted loudly and took the lead in rushing towards the East Sea. He clasped his hands together, flipped his palms, and suddenly his whole body was transformed into golden light. His aura even revealed a hint of metallic sharpness!

Although he was unarmed and unarmed, when he rushed forward, his body was like a sharp and gleaming divine weapon!

Chen Yan saw this and his gaze sharpened.

He heard Lu Kang's calm voice in his ear: "This wooden boat belongs to the ghost clan cultivator of the Blackwood Tribe. He practices the metal power of the Five Elements of Heaven, turning his body into metal and using his body as a weapon."

Chen Yan did not answer, but squinted at the East China Sea.

Donghai calmly turned to the side and drew his longsword from behind his back!

The wooden boat was rushing towards the East China Sea, and three clan elders rushed over with him at the same time. In addition, there were several other clan elders who did not move but also cast spells. Some used magic weapons and treasures, while others cast spells. In an instant, spiritual energy crisscrossed, and there were even long-range spells to control the field, sweeping towards the East China Sea!
In the blink of an eye, the wooden boat had already rushed straight to the East China Sea!
At this moment, countless cyan wooden vine phantoms materialized in the air around Donghai's body. It was as if some clan elder had used the power of wood from the Five Elements of Heaven to try to control Donghai with magic.

Donghai raised his longsword, seemingly paused for a moment, and the wooden boat was already in front of him!

hum! !

In the blink of an eye, suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard, followed by several more cries and screams!
The screams and shouts were none other than those clan elders, as if they had witnessed an unbelievable scene!
Rushing towards the East Sea, the wooden boat at the forefront, exuded a sharp metallic aura, the metal power of the Five Elements, carrying the power of the Heavenly Dao! In addition, the East Sea seemed to be controlled by the combined magic of the other clan elders.

Originally, according to Mu Zhou's mind, he could have pierced through the East Sea with his sharp metal power in a single exchange and killed him on the spot!

Unexpectedly...

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Donghai merely flicked the sword in his hand slightly.

The countless illusory green vines in the air that had previously hindered his movements instantly shattered and disappeared!
Donghai's sword swung down without any obstruction, landing right in front of the oncoming wooden boat!

The blade appeared unremarkable, not even flashing with any light, and then it fell gently...

The sword's edge pierced directly through Elder Muzhou's proud Heavenly Realm cultivation and sharp metal power!

The power of the Heavenly Dao rules that the ghost cultivator could mobilize couldn't even stop the East Sea Longsword in the slightest!

The sword tip touched the tips of the raised fingers of the wooden boat, and then cut in!
Like a sharp blade piercing tofu, it penetrates easily and cuts through with a single stroke!
The sword cut into the wooden boat's hands with ease, then sliced ​​through his arms!
Just as a flicker of terror and pain crossed Mu Zhou's face, before he could even react...

The sword had already cut into his body and then burst out!

puff! !

The wooden boat split in two, its momentum continuing, but its body had already flown off to the left and right!
Blood gushed out like a torrential rain!
This Blackwood Clan Chief, the head of the clan elders, a veteran Ghost Clan expert, and a Celestial Realm powerhouse! In a single exchange, Donghai effortlessly cleaved him in two with a single sword strike, leaving no trace of his body!

The incident happened so suddenly that Mu Zhou rushed to the front. The bodies had just been separated and before the blood rained down, Dong Hai had already stepped forward and turned to meet them!

At this moment, the elders who rushed over with the wooden boat hadn't had time to react, or rather, they had reacted, but their bodies hadn't had time to react...

Donghai suddenly strode forward, his longsword flashing down...

*Thud!* An elder on the left was struck in the shoulder by the sword, which then cut into his chest and emerged from his ribs on the other side! Half of his body, along with his head, was severed!
Donghai's body followed the sword's edge without restraint, letting the sword sweep across him, and then thrusting into the body of an elder who was right behind him!

With a soft "plop," the elder was pierced through by the sword. He suddenly roared, but he didn't unleash any of his magical power!

What terrified him even more was that, as a Ghost Clan cultivator, the most impressive thing was that Ghost Clan cultivators had already comprehended the power of the Heavenly Dao rules from the very beginning of their training, and in terms of combat power, they were even stronger than ordinary cultivators!

But at this moment, he was horrified to discover that he could not mobilize even a fraction of the power of the Heavenly Dao's rules!

It was as if all the Heavenly Dao rules that I had cultivated for half my life and knew so well had suddenly left me!

He watched helplessly as Donghai's sword pierced through him, and he was like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, completely defenseless and unable to even muster the slightest resistance...

Then, his body broke apart. Donghai, already standing still, didn't even glance at his corpse before turning and stepping to the right!
The last thing this elder saw before losing consciousness was that an elder he was on good terms with had his legs easily severed by Donghai's sword. After his body fell to the ground, Donghai stomped on his head and crushed it!

·
It was another massacre, a one-sided massacre!

What's strange about this massacre is that it seems to replicate the previous swift and devastating slaughter of the twenty young cultivators with licenses in the East China Sea.

However, the twenty deceased license holders were, after all, weak in cultivation.

At this moment, there were nine Celestial Realm experts present!
What truly terrified all the ghost race members was their pride and joy—their cultivation at the Celestial Realm!

They had immersed themselves in magic and spells for half their lives, and they knew the power of the Heavenly Dao rules as well as they breathed in their lungs...

Everything, before Donghai… no, to be precise, before the sword in Donghai's hand, seemed to suddenly melt into ice and snow, vanishing without a trace!

One sword strike from the East Sea, killing them is no easier than killing ordinary people!
After Donghai killed Muzhou, and then the second, the third, and the fourth...

The remaining elders finally realized what was happening!

And so, they scattered again!

As if the previous massacre was being repeated, the remaining five clan elders scattered in all directions, shouting in terror and trying to escape.

Someone leaped into the sky, but Donghai simply raised his sword and pointed it out. The elder who had just taken off was like a bird with its wings clipped, and he fell headfirst from mid-air!
Some tried to burrow underground, but Donghai simply stuck his sword into the ground. The elder, who was already halfway into the earth, instantly became a true "halfway into the earth"! His original earth-elemental power and magic dissipated, and he was buried alive in the earth, unable to move!

Donghai moved with ease, quickly traversing the entire area. He caught up with each elder, killing them with a single sword strike or beheading them!
The last one to die was the gaunt old man named Muya.

He retreated in terror, his body covered in blood—one of his legs had been severed by Donghai.

"I...I surrender, I confess!! I demand the tribe hold a general assembly to try me!! You, you can't kill me here, I am the tribal elder, I am..."

Donghai shook his head, stepped forward, and stabbed his mouth with his sword—the blade entered under his tongue and then exited through the back of his head.

Muya's breath quickly ceased.

Donghai drew his sword, casually wiped the blood off the blade with Muya's clothes, and then sheathed the sword.

"Foolish." Donghai looked at the nine more corpses of the Blackwood Tribe elders that had appeared on the ground around him: "Since I dare to enforce the law alone, I am naturally not afraid of your encirclement and attack."

He was able to cultivate the Ghost Clan's techniques and attain enlightenment through the grace of his ancestor, wielding the power of the Heavenly Dao. Over time, he forgot the origin of his power…

"Your Heavenly Dao power comes from our Ancestor. For him, taking it back is easier than breathing."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to have realized something!

The power of Heaven's Dao comes from the Ancestor, so the Ancestor can take it back at any time if he wants!

So, what if the power of Heaven comes from another source? Wouldn't that source be able to reclaim its power if it wanted to?

No matter what level you have reached in your cultivation!
These elders' Heavenly Dao power comes from the ancestor, so they are under the ancestor's jurisdiction.

So... what about the sages and ancestral masters? Their power of the Heavenly Dao comes from... and is also influenced by...
