Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

The monks nodded.

"By the way, my lord, what should we do with these surviving cultivators?" someone asked.

"Release him." Ye Liuyun didn't want to say anything more.

However, these cultivators in the clouds wanted to get rid of all these people as well, as keeping them around could easily cause trouble.

But they dared not disobey Ye Liuyun's orders, so they opened the prison door and removed the shackles and restraints from their bodies.

"You should all leave the Sun Destroyer Palace quickly," the cultivator in the clouds gestured.

The cultivators, who had been tortured beyond recognition, looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

"What are you daydreaming about? If you don't leave now, you'll be buried with the Sun Destroyer Palace," a Cloud Realm cultivator threatened impatiently.

After being frightened like this, these people realized that the end of the Sun Destroyer Palace had come.

Ye Liuyun and his group did not linger there. After releasing all the imprisoned cultivators, the cultivators from Yunduan cast spells to destroy the bloody array that was the Sun Destroyer Palace.

Ye Liuyun himself went to the treasure vault of the Sun Destroyer Palace, emptied it, and then left the Sun Destroyer Palace with his men.

After returning, Guan Yue and Jiang Wanling had already finished dealing with the fallen sun.

“My lord, we’re in trouble. The founder of the Sun Destroyer Palace was a cultivator from the Desolate God Sect. Back then, in order to expand their power, the Desolate God Sect separated some people to develop independently, and the Sun Destroyer Palace was one of them,” Jiang Wanling said solemnly.

Ye Liuyun is not afraid of the Desolate God Sect.

"I understand. Let's ignore this Desolate God Sect and leave," Ye Liuyun said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the general immediately issued a retreat order to everyone, not to return to the cloud, but to return to their respective forces.

The people in the clouds came and went quickly. About half an hour after they left, several figures flew in from the south at an extremely fast speed and finally landed at the mountain gate of the Sun-Destroying Palace. Eclipse was among them.

"This?" Upon seeing the destroyed mountain gate, Eclipse realized he had returned too late.

The Eclipse searched everywhere for the disciples of the Sun Destroyer Palace, but unfortunately, not a single corpse could be found.

"Such swift methods! In less than an hour, a medium-sized sect was completely wiped out. Who did this? Tianheng Sect doesn't have such strength." A middle-aged man frowned as he looked at the destroyed Cui Ri Palace.

Ye Liuyun and his team estimated that the battle would be resolved within three hours, but in reality, it didn't take that long.

Eclipse searched for a long time and also contacted other outposts, but in the end, no one responded.

With an angry expression, he roared to the sky.

"Who exactly was it? Who destroyed my Sun Destroyer Palace?"

Unfortunately, no one will answer his question.

“They dare to destroy our Desolate God Sect’s affiliated sect, they’re really bold. Second Elder, should we go to the Heavenly Heng Sect? Since the Sun Destroyer Palace has clashed with the Heavenly Heng Sect, the Heavenly Heng Sect is the most suspicious.” Another female cultivator from the Desolate God Sect said.

The Desolate God Sect sent one person at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm and two at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm. If they had arrived in time, Ye Liuyun and his group would have had a hard time dealing with them.

“Of course we have to ask them, but first we need to gather some evidence to see what evidence can prove that we are related to them. Otherwise, if they don’t admit it, there’s nothing we can do,” said the Second Elder of the Desolate God Sect.

After they finished speaking, the people they brought scattered to look for any suspicious traces, but unfortunately, they found nothing after searching for a long time.

It can also be confirmed that all disciples except those who were not at the Sun Destroyer Palace or the stronghold were wiped out.

That's why Ye Liuyun had them dispose of the body. If they didn't, the people who came later might be able to determine who did it by looking at the injuries on the body.

That one night passed.

The next morning, a guest arrived at the Tianheng Sect. A powerful expert at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm stood arrogantly in the main hall of the Tianheng Sect.

The high-ranking members of the Tianheng Sect are all smiling obsequiously.

"Haha, greetings to fellow Daoists from the Desolate God Sect. May I ask what brings you here?" Not long after, Jiang Wanling walked in with a smile.

Jiang Wanling had already returned to her previous appearance. She had to disguise her identity as soon as she returned to the sect, otherwise it would be hard to say whether she would become a woman.

Her disguise was flawless because she had taken the disguise pill given to her by Ye Liuyun.

"I am Meng Hai from the Desolate God Sect, and you are Jiang Wanshan, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Heng Sect, right?" the Desolate God Sect expert asked, squinting his eyes.

"Haha, it is indeed me. May I ask what brings you here, Fellow Daoist Meng?" Jiang Wanshan asked again in a friendly and polite manner.

Meng Hai didn't waste any words.

"Did you know that last night, my Desolate God Sect's affiliated sect, the Sun Destroyer Palace, was wiped out overnight by an unknown force?" Meng Hai asked Jiang Wanling, looking directly into her eyes.

Jiang Wanling was taken aback, then feigned surprise and asked in return.

"What? Is that so? Disciple, what exactly happened? Do you know about this?"

The current leaders of the Tianheng Sect naturally shook their heads in disapproval.

“Master, if it weren’t for the senior from the Desolate God Sect reporting this, we really wouldn’t have known that such a big thing happened last night,” Sect Master Tianheng replied.

"This? Fellow Daoist Meng, who did this? The Sun Destroyer Palace is the most powerful medium-sized sect in this area. Ordinary sects can't do anything about them," Jiang Wanling said seriously.

Seeing Jiang Wanling's expression, Meng Hai couldn't tell whether she genuinely didn't know or was pretending not to.

But none of that matters. What matters is that Tianheng Sect is the prime suspect.

“Jiang Wanshan, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I heard that the Sun Destroyer Palace and your Tianheng Sect have recently had a conflict, and that the Sun Destroyer Palace killed two of your Tianheng Sect’s Four Extremes cultivators and more than a dozen Dao Palace cultivators. This conflict had only just begun when the Sun Destroyer Palace was destroyed by an unknown force that very night. Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?” Meng Hai roared.

But Jiang Wanling would definitely not admit it.

"What? Our Tianheng Sect destroyed the Cui Ri Palace? This? I swear to God, fellow Daoist, look around as you please. If you can find any treasures or powerful individuals in my Tianheng Sect that could destroy the Cui Ri Palace, then you can do whatever you want with our sect. We did have a conflict with the Cui Ri Palace, and we wanted revenge, but we couldn't win. I had already reported this matter to the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Alliance, intending to let them decide, and I was waiting for the result. Who knew you would suddenly come and tell me that the Cui Ri Palace had been destroyed?" Jiang Wanling looked completely innocent.

Meng Hai was taken aback, then quickly took out an identity token, which should be the token to contact the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Alliance.

A powerful force like the Desolate God Sect must be a core member of the Immortal Alliance. After investigating, they quickly confirmed that the Heavenly Heng Sect had indeed sought help from the Immortal Alliance long ago.

This left Meng Hai with no options. Normally, Tianheng Sect was the victim. Just because Tianheng Sect had a major conflict with Cui Ri Palace doesn't mean that Tianheng Sect was the culprit who destroyed Cui Ri Palace. That would be unreasonable, since the other side didn't have that kind of power.

"I understand. It's best if this matter has nothing to do with your Tianheng Sect, otherwise, you'd better think carefully about the consequences." After Meng Hai finished speaking, he disappeared from the main hall in a flash.

Because he couldn't find any treasures or people in the Tianheng Sect that could destroy the Cui Ri Palace.

Unless they forcibly searched the souls of the Tianheng Sect members, they could only return to report. After they left, the Tianheng Sect's higher-ups went from smiling obsequiously to looking grim and fearful.

"Master, the Lord is truly wise. He has allowed us to return to our respective homes. The people from the Desolate God Sect arrived so quickly," said the Tianheng Sect Master, frowning.

Yesterday's attack on the Sun-Destroying Palace must have involved people from the Tianheng Sect; all the cultivators of the Tianheng Sect from the Four Extremes Sect participated.

After all, the cultivators who were killed were all members of their Tianheng Sect, and they were determined to take revenge themselves. Yesterday was a great relief for the cultivators of the Tianheng Sect.

"Don't be careless. This matter will definitely not end so easily. Okay, let's not say anything more. Let's just pretend this never happened and continue as usual," Jiang Wanling reminded her.

This is to prevent them from revealing anything and to pretend they don't know anything. They'll have to go and see their masterpiece from last night for themselves later.

Chapter 596 From Darkness to Light (5000 words + 4100 monthly votes bonus chapter)

A moment later, many cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm to the Transformation Mystic Realm arrived at Mount Churi, where the Sun Destroyer Palace was located, from all directions.

These people were cultivators from forces adjacent to the Sun Destroyer Palace, and most of them had come after hearing the news. They wanted to see what would become of the Sun Destroyer Palace.

The Desolate God Sect certainly didn't just send people to the Heavenly Heng Sect; they also sent people to three other medium-sized sects.

These three medium-sized sects are Chunyang Sect, Divine Medicine Valley, and Tianfeng Hall.

According to the investigation by the Wild God Sect, all three sects may also be secretly targeting the Sun Destroyer Palace.

Because the Sun Destroyer Palace has various conflicts with its neighbors in all directions, and the biggest conflict is with the Divine Medicine Valley.

Because the people from the Sun Destroyer Palace seized three places in the Divine Medicine Valley rich in spiritual energy and killed one of their Four Extremes Divine Soul Realm experts, the hatred between them was much greater than that between the Heavenly Heng Sect and the Sun Destroyer Palace.

When the Nascent Soul cultivators from these three families were questioned by the powerful figures from the Desolate God Sect, they were all greatly surprised, because they simply couldn't imagine which force had the ability to destroy the Sun Destroyer Palace.

They didn't immediately suspect the other three families. They had all lived in this area for thousands of years and knew each other well, so they naturally knew that the other party didn't have such ability.

At this moment, Jiang Wanling and the Nascent Soul cultivators from the other three families were floating above the dilapidated Mount Churi, looking down with solemn expressions.

"Tsk tsk, in one night, they wiped out all the strongholds within the territory of the Sun Destroyer Palace, including the sect's headquarters. I heard it took less than an hour. It's hard to imagine who did it." The Supreme Elder of the Pure Yang Sect muttered, stroking his beard.

The three families already knew that besides Yan Ri, who was at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm, the Sun Destroyer Palace also had two other Nascent Soul cultivators hidden there, the strongest of whom had actually reached the third level of the Nascent Soul realm.

To be honest, even if the four families joined forces to deal with the Sun Destroyer Palace, they probably wouldn't have a chance of winning.

Because the one with the highest cultivation level among them is a Nascent Soul expert from the Pure Yang Sect, at the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"I remember that the protective formation of the Sun Destroyer Palace is a mid-grade Earth-rank formation. This formation is enough to withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul seventh-level cultivator. So, among the cultivators who came to destroy the Sun Destroyer Palace this time, there is at least one Nascent Soul eighth-level expert."

"Either there are cultivators at the fourth to seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm wielding magic weapons of mid-grade Earth rank or higher who attacked the Sun Destroyer Palace. Fellow Daoists, think carefully, what force has the ability to destroy the Sun Destroyer Palace and erase all traces of the battle in less than an hour?" A female Nascent Soul expert from Divine Medicine Valley asked.

The Nascent Soul expert from Tianfeng Hall shook his head without even thinking.

“There is definitely no such force in our area unless it is an outside force. The Sun Destroyer Palace is already a powerful force among medium-sized sects. If we want to destroy the Sun Destroyer Palace within an hour, I think it would require at least a sect of the Tianluo Sect level to take action,” said the Nascent Soul expert from the Tianfeng Hall.

When Jiang Wanling saw that the Nascent Soul expert from Tianfeng Hall mentioned the Tianluo Sect, she rolled her eyes and said jokingly.

"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, do you believe that the Tianluo Sect destroyed the Cui Ri Palace?"

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul expert from Tianfeng Hall immediately became anxious and glared at Jiang Wanling.

"Old Jiang, I didn't say that. Don't try to frame me. I was just using the Tianluo Sect as an example. After all, an ordinary medium-sized sect certainly couldn't destroy the Cui Ri Palace. Only a medium-to-large sect could do that, and the medium-to-large sect closest to the Cui Ri Palace is the Tianluo Sect. I was just using the Tianluo Sect as an example," said Qingfengzi, the patriarch of the Tianfeng Hall, with a displeased expression.

If this gets back to the Tianluo Sect, he'll be in deep trouble.

"Haha, don't be so scared, I was just saying it casually," Jiang Wanling teased.

Besides the four of them, there were many cultivators from the four factions' territories surrounding them.

These people weren't as relaxed and cheerful as the four of them.

"Hahaha, I never thought the Sun Destroyer Palace would end up like this. The Sun Destroyer Palace first seized the Sun Palace's territory with cruel means, and now they have met this end. It can only be said that the cycle of heaven is cyclical and karma is retribution." A Divine Soul Realm expert who had a great conflict with the Sun Destroyer Palace couldn't help but laugh out loud after seeing the current state of the Sun Destroyer Palace.

When this person smiled, many cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm around him also showed happy smiles. It was clear that their forces had suffered a lot from the Destroying Sun Palace over the years.

Many of these forces were driven out of this area by the Sun Destroyer Palace, and their hatred for the Sun Destroyer Palace is extremely high.

When the Sun Destroyer Palace still existed, they dared not speak out against its power.

Now that the Sun-Destroying Palace is gone, if they don't even have the courage to burst into laughter, then they're really spineless.

But just then, Eclipse flew out from the ruined Sunrise Mountain. As soon as it came out, it flew angrily towards the Divine Soul Realm cultivator who had said that the destruction of their Sun Destroyer Palace was retribution.

"Zhou Shan, say that again, you son of a bitch!" The Eclipse flew up to Zhou Shan with murderous intent and roared angrily.

Zhou Shan and the others were quite surprised to see that the Eclipse was still alive, but they were no longer afraid of the Eclipse. After all, all of your Nascent Soul cultivators are dead, and you are all alone. What can you do to me?

"Oh? Isn't this the Palace Master of the Sun Eclipse Palace? Your Sun Destroyer Palace was wiped out, how come you're still alive?" Zhou Shan was somewhat surprised, but he fearlessly made a disgusting remark to the Sun Eclipse.

Why did he dare to say such a thing at this time, and not afraid that the Desolate God Sect would have something on his mind? It was because Zhou Shan's faction was originally the number two faction in this area of ​​the Sun Destroyer Palace.

However, he was violently expelled by the Sun-Destroying Palace and ultimately had no choice but to seek refuge with the Pure Yang Sect.

Upon hearing this, Eclipse immediately wanted to make a move, and after speaking, he released the power of his peak Divine Soul Realm.

However, the cultivators from the Four Extremes Sects who had a grudge against the Sun Destroyer Palace on Zhou Shan's side all unleashed their auras.

“Eclipse, we might have been afraid of you when your Sun Destroyer Palace was still around, but now, your entire Sun Destroyer Palace has been wiped out, leaving you all alone. If you don’t want to live anymore, then we’re just going to kick a dog when it’s down,” Zhou Shan said coldly.

When Eclipse saw the murderous intent that the group of cultivators from the Four Extremes were showing him, he realized that he was no longer the same person he used to be.

This put him in a difficult position. He knew he couldn't possibly defeat so many people in a fight, but he had already made those threats, and he couldn't very well take them back.

So he could only remain in this stalemate with the other party.

Judging from the looks in Zhou Shan's eyes, they really wanted to kill Eclipse.

"Alright, alright, I didn't call you here to make a scene. The Sun Destroyer Palace is an affiliated sect of our Desolate God Sect. It has been wiped out by an unknown force or individual. Our Desolate God Sect is investigating which force was responsible. I'm telling you now that if you can provide any clues, our Desolate God Sect will reward you handsomely."

Then, the Second Elder of the Desolate God Sect flew over with a group of Desolate God Sect cultivators.

Upon seeing the powerful figures from the Desolate God Sect appear, everyone quickly withdrew their auras, but judging from their eyes, they clearly showed no respect for the Desolate God Sect whatsoever.

Because at that moment, they were all cursing the Desolate God Sect in their hearts.

"Damn it, so the Sun Destroyer Palace is so domineering, but it turns out it's a dog secretly raised by your Desolate God Sect. No wonder it acted like a vicious dog as soon as it appeared, biting people indiscriminately." Many people were cursing the Desolate God Sect.

Although the Desolate God Sect is the most powerful sect in the Southern Wilderness Mountain Range, their reputation is quite bad, especially within their territory, where they are absolutely bullies.

After the Desolate God Sect uttered these words, none of the cultivators present responded to them.

This greatly displeased the Second Elder of the Desolate God Sect.

"What? Didn't you hear what I said? Or is it that the annihilation of the Sun-Destroying Palace has something to do with any of you here?" The Second Elder of the Desolate God Sect suddenly unleashed his aura as an eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

As soon as this aura was released, the cultivators of the Four Extremes immediately showed fear, lowered their heads, and dared not look at the other party.

"This? We understand." Zhou Shan and the others nodded helplessly.

Seeing everyone nod, the Second Elder of the Desolate God Sect snorted coldly and withdrew his imposing aura.
