Chapter 460 The Man-Eating Butcher Advances Towards the Heavenly Sound Sect

Lord Yangjiu spoke slowly, almost as if declaring victory, about his countermeasures.

He even looked up towards the direction of the Sea of ​​No Light while speaking.

It seemed as if she was gazing at Xiao Chen from afar.

A hint of mockery flickered in his eyes, as if he were admiring a poorly executed performance.

Immediately following was a hint of regret.

It's such a shame, if only we weren't so far apart.

He was quite curious to see what kind of interesting expression Xiao Chen would have after learning the news.

consternation?

Accident?

Or perhaps it's fear?

Lord Yangjiu greatly enjoys appreciating the unease of his enemies, which often brings him pleasure.

"Wonderful!"

After carefully examining the document, True Monarch Youzhong's eyes lit up: "Senior Brother's method is truly a radical solution!"

"Xiao Chen originally wanted to use the pretext of slaying demons and monsters to borrow external forces to deal with us."

"But as long as we first announce that he is the demonic cultivator, and announce that he has become the True Lord of the Demonic Path."

"Then what he said and the evidence he presented will all be seen as baseless slander and framing of our Yin Corpse Sect by a wicked demonic cultivator."

"In this way, both sides have their own reasons."

"Even if others may not really believe that Xiao Chen is the Demon Lord, as long as they cannot distinguish the situation and have doubts."

"Given the way those sects operate, they will inevitably choose to continue observing rather than actually taking action."

"Without external help, they are the ones who should be afraid now!"

Upon hearing this, the True Lord of Sacrifice immediately turned his worry into joy.

He had just been filled with worry because of Xiao Chen's elaborate scheme.

However, the method devised by Lord Yangjiu undoubtedly resolved this open conspiracy from the root.

In this round of strategic maneuvering, they clearly had a slight advantage.

More importantly, in the eyes of the True Lord of Sacrifice to Bones.

As long as they don't fall into the schemes and tricks of a villain like Xiao Chen, and aren't used against them.

When it comes to a real test of strength, with their senior brother in charge, they can win with ease.

Not only did the True Lord of Sacrifice breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Lian Sha was finally relieved.

After gathering his emotions in his heart, he said sorrowfully, "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, it's all my fault. I've ruined you!"

"If only I had known this would happen."

"I never said I would let that damned Xiao Chen get away."

“We will grind him to dust on Tianxing Island and eliminate any future trouble.”

"It's all my fault for being careless and causing you to suffer this calamity."

As he spoke, the eyes of the True Lord of Refining Evil turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The main reason was that his trip was for official business, so apart from one or two nephews who accompanied him, most of the Dai family members were still in the Sea of ​​No Light.

They can't get back anytime soon.

Even though the Dai family's ancestral home is protected by a fourth-order defensive array, it's probably to no avail.

More importantly, for the True Monarch of Refining Evil, even if his clansmen are gone, he can still have his younger relatives reborn.

With a little effort, the clan can reproduce several more generations in less than a hundred years.

But if Xiao Chen were to destroy the demonic puppet he had hidden at home, that would be an unbearable pain.

Fortunately, True Lord Lian Sha, with the idea of ​​having multiple burrows, did not hide the demon puppets in one place, but scattered them in several different cellars.

Some were even deliberately hidden outside the family compound.

Therefore, he silently prayed in his heart that Xiao Chen would be more careless and miss some of the cellars, leaving him with more demon puppets.

"I also bear responsibility!"

The True Lord of Sacrifice spoke up, "I was there at the time. If I had acted sooner to kill Xiao Chen, my second and third senior brothers wouldn't have been in trouble."

"Eldest brother, fourth brother, blame me if you must, don't blame fifth brother."

His face showed just the right amount of self-blame and sadness.

But what they were thinking was quite different.

The last sentence, in particular, was intentionally chosen.

The reason is that True Monarch Youzhong has already broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul, and what follows is more about grinding away and accumulating true essence.

The Refining Demon Lord has once again provoked enemies, indirectly leading to the deaths of his second and third senior brothers, which is undoubtedly a grave mistake.

In other words, the remaining fourth-tier essence blood and other resources within the Yin Corpse Sect suddenly lost four competitors.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be his turn to use it, as the junior disciple with the least seniority.

And to be honest, the time that Jigu Zhenjun spent with them was the shortest.

It's not that there was no emotion at all, but it certainly wasn't very profound either.

At this moment, he even felt a secret joy, feeling that his opportunity had arrived.

So he secretly decided that when he returned to deal with Xiao Chen after the exchange meeting, he would make sure to show his loyalty to his senior brother first.

This would allow the senior disciple to allocate sect resources to him.

While speaking, he pointed out that it was the Refining Demon True Monarch who caused the trouble.

Guide the senior disciple to blame the other party in his heart.

The best course of action would be to directly reduce the cultivation resources available to the True Monarch of Refining Evil and instead support him.

However, contrary to what True Lord Jigu had expected, True Lord Yangjiu did not directly criticize True Lord Liansha.

Instead, he comforted them, saying, "Neither of you need to blame yourselves; this is not your fault."

"If anyone is to blame, it should be Xiao Chen, Fu Bing, and other treacherous villains."

"In the end, it's because the spiritual energy tide is continuing to grow, and it's about to trigger an unprecedented upheaval."

"This has caused many people, especially some reclusive sects, to become restless."

"And coincidentally, our Yin Corpse Sect is isolated in the outer sea, lacking allies, and is the first to enjoy the benefits brought by the increase in spiritual energy."

"That's why Xiao Chen and the others set their sights on him, wanting to take his place."

"In the end, all this talk of demonic paths and grudges is just an excuse."

"They are just using these high-sounding reasons to cover up their ambition to seize the Sea of ​​No Light."

"It's nothing more than that set of hypocritical and disgusting charlatan behavior."

Lord Yangjiu spoke eloquently, as if he had seen through the whole truth and understood Xiao Chen's true intentions.

The reason he had such thoughts was...

It's because Xiao Chen's behavior is nothing like that of a rogue cultivator.

Just like those on the other side of the Sea of ​​Compassion easily believed the rumors that Xiao Chen came from a hidden lineage.

"Hmph, they think they can seize the ancestral legacy of my Yin Corpse Sect by playing some petty tricks."

Lord Yangjiu sneered, "That's utterly delusional!"

“I will let them know that the Yin Corpse Sect was able to establish itself in the Sea of ​​No Light, unlike the Hundred Herbs City, which has extensive connections and relies heavily on the help of friends.”

"Unlike the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, which sits around and squanders its resources, relying on the legacy of its predecessors."

"From beginning to end, we have built this empire entirely on our own hard work and real skills."

“Xiao Chen and the person behind him are not the first enemy to covet my Yin Corpse Sect, nor will they be the last.”

"It doesn't matter. I will deal with these clowns one by one, turn them into corpse puppets, and use them as stepping stones for my Yin Corpse Sect to unify the Eastern Region!"

Lord Yangjiu spoke these words with righteous indignation.

He looked exactly like a highly respected and righteous leader.

But in fact, if someone knows enough about the rise of the Yin Corpse Sect in the Sea of ​​No Light...

They would then discover that they actually relied on secretly practicing demonic arts, secretly harming rogue cultivators to create corpse puppets, and engaging in shameless acts such as ambushing other forces and framing others.

It is precisely because the open sea has always been chaotic and lacking in order that it gave them an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

However, the members of the Yin Corpse Sect naturally did not look at the facts objectively, but all thought that what their senior brother said was absolutely right!
It's all Xiao Chen and the others' fault for harboring evil intentions and wanting to harm them, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with their cultivation of the demonic path.

"Since it has already happened, regret cannot undo it."

The fingertips of the True Lord of Calamity tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the chair: "Everything has two sides."

"What we need to do now is to find the side that is in our favor and minimize the losses as much as possible."

“Junior Brother Youzhong, after we deal with Xiao Chen, tell him that the mountain gate was severely damaged and the spiritual veins were slightly damaged.”

"Therefore, I hope to stay in the Tianyin Sect and use their spiritual veins for cultivation."

"Then find a few more reasons to go and discuss the Dao with Fairy Su Ruo."

"We will strive to further enhance our strength with the help of the Mystic Sound Spirit before the Vast Sea Secret Realm opens, so that we can compete with other forces for spiritual treasures in the inner world."

"If necessary, some promises can be made privately."

"But the redemption time must be postponed until after the end of the secret realm."

True Monarch Youzhong immediately nodded: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will do my best to gain the trust of the Heavenly Sound Sect."

He had previously consulted ancient books and had a general understanding of the potential benefits of the Wonderful Sound Spirit Body.

He had also received hints from Shuyu Zhenjun, and in his heart he had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Now that he has received clear instructions and support from his senior brother, his confidence has immediately increased.

Immediately afterwards, many disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect received orders.

So he disguised himself as a rogue cultivator and entered various markets, spreading rumors about Xiao Chen using pre-prepared scripts.

Starting with the killing of the young master of the Dai family on Tianxing Island, he was branded as a cruel, bloodthirsty, and insane demonic cultivator.

In any case, most of the independent cultivators in the Inner Sea don't know the truth either.

Now, the Yin Corpse Sect has falsely accused him, fabricating all sorts of absurd stories to attract attention, which has tarnished his image and reputation among the public.

In particular, a large number of Yin Corpse Sect disciples pretended to be passersby and cooperated with each other, successfully creating a "three men make a tiger" effect.

As a result, when these rumors became widespread, the other major sects did indeed develop some doubts.

Even if they know it's most likely a rumor.

However, this is in light of previous speculations about the Fubing Sect.

Inevitably, they were affected to some extent and began to suspect whether there really was a hidden sect plotting to seize the territory of the Sea of ​​No Light.

However, when facing a struggle between different forces, rather than a war between good and evil.

Naturally, everyone was more inclined to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

At this point, even if we take a step back, everyone would think that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

Then everyone wanted to delay their exit, hoping to become the fisherman.

After all, apart from Cui Yunxian wanting to meet Xiao Chen, a fellow traveler, on the Inner Sea side...

No one had any connection with Xiao Chen whatsoever; in fact, most of them had never even met him and were complete strangers.

Since they are strangers, there is naturally a lack of trust, and no one would think of stepping forward to help him.

Everyone was quietly increasing manpower and using various channels to investigate information, trying to obtain more and more accurate intelligence for reference.

But it's not a big problem.

Because from the very beginning, Xiao Chen never even considered manipulating the situation or using someone else's strength against them.

The reason he returned to the Storm Sea openly was because he was prepared to crush the Yin Corpse Sect with his own strength.

Outsiders might think he took advantage of the fact that Lord Yangjiu and the others weren't in the Sea of ​​No Light. But the truth is quite the opposite.

Actually, it was because Lord Yangjiu and the others happened to be away from the Sea of ​​No Light that they were fortunate enough to live a few more days.

"It's alright, we're going to Jingkonghai anyway."

Xiao Chen didn't care about this: "If we return via the north side of the inner sea, we'll need to pass through the Cloud Pool Sea."

"Treating them was just something we did on the way."

"It's a good opportunity to go to the Tianyin Sect and ask them what they're thinking."

Xiao Chen is a very reasonable person.

If True Lord Zhiqin was merely representing himself and assisting True Lord Mingcan out of personal friendship...

Then let's just leave it at that, and he won't become hostile to the other cultivators of the Tianyin Sect because of it.

But in a sense, she actually represented the entire Tianyin Sect and stood on the side of the Yinshi Sect.

Then there is nothing more to say.

Whether you're herding one sheep or a flock of sheep, it's all the same.

Add one, it won't take much effort.

Of course, before that, Xiao Chen had three small matters to attend to.

The first thing to do is to deal with the troublemakers from the Dai family in the Sea of ​​No Light.

Back then, that Young Master Dai dared to be so arrogant and domineering in front of the other disciples of major sects on Tianxing Island.

One can only imagine how arrogant and domineering the Dai family must have been in the local area.

Therefore, eliminating the Dai family cultivators is not only part of revenge, but also a good deed of eliminating a scourge for the people.

Although it cannot compare to the great merit of destroying the Yin Corpse Sect.

But as the saying goes, "No good deed is too small to be done."

If it's a good thing, then we should do it.

Just leave.

Before long, Xiao Chen arrived at the island where the Dai family's ancestral home was located.

This is a medium-sized island, 600 miles long and over 400 miles wide, containing two third-order spiritual veins and five second-order spiritual veins.

Therefore, the entire island is full of spiritual energy, and it produces many spiritual objects every year.

However, a long time ago, the entire island became the private property of the Dai family.

The monks who originally lived on the island either moved away with money or died in various accidents.

Perhaps having received a warning, the fourth-tier defensive array at the very center of the island has now been fully activated.

A massive spiritual energy barrier shimmered, resembling a semi-transparent giant bowl inverted on the ground, protecting the Dai family cultivators hiding below within the formation.

Not only that.

There was also a giant wolf, over ninety feet long, standing at the edge of the formation, radiating a relatively strong aura.

It is roughly in the range of being significantly stronger than the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, but just below the fourth rank.

"A spirit beast? No, a corpse puppet?"

Xiao Chen was initially taken aback by the moderate aura he sensed.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that the giant wolf's fur was dry, dull, and dark in color.

In some areas, the peeling was quite severe, even revealing the slightly blackened skin underneath.

His pale eyes were devoid of any life.

It was clearly a former fourth-tier great demon that was turned into a corpse puppet after its death to guard the Dai family's ancestral home.

"No, if you have this ability, why do you harm rogue cultivators?"

Xiao Chen found it hard to understand: "Wouldn't it be better to focus on slaying demons and monsters, and then use the demonic beasts to create corpse puppets?"

If that's the case, the Yin Corpse Sect could become a truly prestigious and righteous sect, and might even become the main force in resisting the sea race.

However, they chose the path of evil to take a shortcut, and they became increasingly entangled in it, showing no remorse.

If the Yin Corpse Sect had voluntarily withdrawn and cleared its name after taking control of the Sea of ​​No Light, it wouldn't have developed to this point.

Unfortunately, after they tasted the sweetness of demonic arts, they became even more greedy.

"May I ask which esteemed lord has graced us with his presence?"

An elder from the Dai family stepped forward and loudly inquired across the large array.

However, Xiao Chen was too lazy to waste words with them and directly cast a new spell: "Mountain-Breaking Palm!"

The main advantage of this move is that it greatly enhances destructive power.

It is especially suitable for use against targets that are slow to move but have high defense.

For example, a defensive array that doesn't move in front of you.

"Boom~!"

The result was predictable: the raging flames, like a mountain-splitting axe, tore the defensive array apart right from the center.

The clan elder in charge realized that things were not going well.

He immediately used the Beast Taming Token to command the giant wolf to step forward and attempt to intercept it.

At the same time, he shouted an order: "All branches of the family, immediately break out of the encirclement!"

"No matter which family goes out, remember to contact our ancestors to help us take revenge."

His idea itself wasn't problematic, and it was decisive enough.

But to expect a corpse puppet to stop Xiao Chen would be to underestimate him.

"Burning Sky Palm!"

In an instant, the clouds in the sky seemed to be ignited by the flames.

Immediately afterwards, the flames gathered in one place, forming the shape of a giant hand, which slammed down downwards.

"Boom!"

The giant hand slammed onto the island like a heavy hammer striking a drum, causing the entire island to shake three times.

Right in the middle was the wolf-shaped corpse puppet that had barely reached the fourth rank, the remaining restrictions of the great formation, and the Golden Core elder who was holding up a spirit shield, preparing to put up a last-ditch effort.

They were all instantly flattened on the ground and turned into fuel.

"Not bad, it works much better than I expected."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly in satisfaction, then casually tried out the fourth move: "Burning Mountain Palm!"

This technique focuses on higher temperatures and longer combustion time.

The flames that were produced were not the usual fiery red; instead, they initially appeared as an orange-yellow.

Wherever it went, it seemed as if the autumn wind had dyed the earth golden.

Whether it was bamboo, wood, cloth, or rocks and tiles, everything was set on fire.

Even the fountain in the yard and the pond in the back garden were not spared.

Looking out from mid-air, Xiao Chen saw that everything within a radius of over eight thousand feet had been transformed into a sea of ​​fire!
Moreover, the fire is spreading rapidly in all directions at an alarming rate.

By setting everything along the way on fire, it seems that it won't be long before the area expands to tens of thousands of feet in radius.

As the fire spread, the once grand ancestral home of the Dai family gradually turned into ruins.

"These three moves are all pretty good!"

Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction again.

Then he saw below, where a section of the ground suddenly spewed out thick streams of yin energy, attempting to suppress the surrounding flames.

Although it was quickly suppressed by the fire, it was still quite eye-catching.

"Hey, what is this place?"

Xiao Chen scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that it was actually a series of cellars.

It contains many corpse puppets of different ranks, and some of the high-ranking corpse puppets even have a faint demonic aura on them.

In fact, these cellars all have arrays to shield them from divine sense detection and are designed to resist area-of-effect spell attacks.

However, they could not withstand the specially enhanced flames of the Burning Mountain Palm, and soon their positions were exposed one after another.

To improve efficiency and avoid omissions, Xiao Chen...

He unleashed the Burning Mountain Palm technique several more times, setting the entire island ablaze.

Since there are no independent cultivators on the island, there's absolutely no need to worry about accidentally harming innocent people.

In this way, all the places that the True Lord of Refining Evil had specially set up on the beach, in the cave, and in the cellars in the wilderness were found and destroyed one by one.

The only thing that temporarily escaped the fire was the Dai family's warehouse.

Because Xiao Chen took the initiative to control the fire, he first transferred everything inside to his storage ring for safekeeping.

Only then did they loosen their control, letting the flames engulf everything.

"Compared to the Yin Corpse Sect's warehouse, this place is really poor."

After taking stock of his gains with his divine sense, Xiao Chen immediately curled his lip.

There were only six fourth-tier spiritual items in total, and they were all relatively common items. The rest were third-tier spiritual items.

Although he wouldn't say he no longer looks down on fourth-tier spiritual objects.

But after seeing it so many times, I no longer feel any sense of surprise.

However, this is actually quite normal. Even if the Dai family really had something good, it should have been taken by the Refining Demon True Monarch.

In addition, there were 41,426 mid-grade spirit stones in the warehouse, which was only average.

Only low-grade spirit stones are relatively valuable.

There are a total of more than 6.5 million pieces, which is tens of thousands more than the reserves in the Yin Corpse Sect's warehouse.

After dealing with the Dai family, there are still two minor issues to resolve.

They were going to attend the tea party that they had promised to attend when they parted last time.

And find a place to strike while the iron is hot and master the final move, 'Shattering Sky and Melting Mountain Palm'.

Although it was called a tea party, there were actually only the two of them as participants.

Moreover, there was no discussion or debate session.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, which slightly improved their understanding of each other.

It turns out that True Monarch Fubing and the Yin Corpse Sect have a blood feud.

He established the Fubing Sect so that one day it could rival the Yinshi Sect, not to perpetuate his own lineage.

He just hasn't found an opportunity all these years, so he's been lying low.

This was also the main reason why he stood up to try to protect Xiao Chen at that time.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, the Yin Corpse Sect will definitely launch a counterattack next."

After the casual conversation, True Monarch Fubing tentatively asked, "Is there a solution?"

Xiao Chen nodded: "I plan to go to the Tianyin Sect and wipe out the remaining remnants of the Yin Corpse Sect in one fell swoop."

"Speaking of which, you can help me inform the other sects."

"I am only here to eliminate demonic cultivators; I will not harm innocent people."

Ok?
Both the True Lord Fubing and the attendants around him stood frozen in place.

The news spread quickly and rapidly.

However, after arriving at the Inner Sea, they were unexpectedly caught up in the rumors spread by the Yin Corpse Sect.

And so it gradually changed.

My friend found out top-secret information—the Demon Lord of the Sea of ​​No Light is preparing to come to the Heavenly Sound Sect.

Have you all heard? That butcher from the Sea of ​​No Light is heading towards the Heavenly Sound Sect.

latest news!
The cannibalistic butcher is advancing towards the Tianyin Sect!
