290: Chapter 290 Meeting an Old Friend

Although he crushed the Heavenly Dao Sect in terms of strength, Xiao Yuchen's main body and his Clones still transformed into the three Demon Generals, because he needed to lure out the last Demon General.

Easily knocking down the guards at the entrance, Xiao Yuchen and his group entered the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Heavenly Dao Sect Sect Master, come out and meet your death!"

Upon entering the Sect, Xiao Yuchen used his Spiritual Qi to shout this sentence. In reality, this was not said to the Heavenly Dao Sect, but to that last Demon General, to alert the other party that his reinforcements had arrived.

In the backyard of the Heavenly Dao Sect, a Demon General was floating in the air with dozens of Disciples behind him. Opposite him, a middle-aged man was also floating in the air, with dozens of Disciples behind him as well.

"Haha, Ren Tiancheng, you have lost after all. My eldest brother has already brought the Four Great Families under your command and fought his way in. Why don't you surrender obediently?"

"Pah! You Demon Race assassinated the Genius Disciples of our Heavenly Dao Sect who participated in the Five Provinces Grand Competition, and now you have done this to our Heavenly Dao Sect. Even if I die, I will perish together with you Demon Race.

I have already informed the other Three Major Sects of the news that you Demon Race have arrived in Dongba Prefecture. Your plan to disintegrate the Four Great Sects has failed; they will unite to exterminate you and avenge my Heavenly Dao Sect."

Ren Tiancheng felt extremely remorseful. When Zhang Daoquan had told him about this matter before, he simply did not believe it. He thought Zhang Daoquan was intentionally shielding Xiyue Prefecture. Later, when Zhang Daoquan asked them to conduct a self-inspection of the Sect to search for Demon Race spies, he did not take it seriously either.

As it turned out, Demon Race spies had truly infiltrated his Sect. Now, half of the people in the Sect had already become Demon Puppets, and the Four Great Families under his command had all been controlled. His Heavenly Dao Sect was finished.

But no matter what, he could not let the Demon Race easily control the Heavenly Dao Sect. He had to do his best to make up for his mistake and perish together with the Demon General and the Demon Puppets.

"So what if you know? The four of us can destroy the Heavenly Dao Sect without any effort, so naturally, we have ways to destroy the other Three Major Sects. If we want to hide, you will never be able to discover us."

Ren Tiancheng also knew that what the other party said was true. Half of his Heavenly Dao Sect had become Demon Puppets, and he had only just discovered it now. Demon Generals could not only hide their cultivation but also hide their own Devilish Qi; it was simply impossible to guard against.

"Then I will perish together with you! Heavenly Dao Sect Disciples, listen to my orders..."

"Present!"

The Disciples answered in unison.

"These Sect Disciples have already become Demon Puppets and are no longer your fellow Sect members. Everyone, attack with all your might and slay everyone here."

Making this decision, Ren Tiancheng's heart was extremely painful, but there was no other way. These people had already become Demon Puppets, which was equivalent to becoming members of the Demon Race. Now, for every one he killed, he was gaining one.

"Yes!"

After the Disciples responded, they stepped forward again, and the battle between the two sides unfolded once more.

Ren Tiancheng's side was like they had been injected with adrenaline, killing frantically. However, the Demon Race side kept retreating. It was not that their side was weak; his reinforcements had arrived, and he needed to rendezvous with the reinforcements. That way, taking down the Heavenly Dao Sect would be simple.

Ren Tiancheng naturally knew the Demon Race's intentions. Once the two sides rendezvoused, he would have no chance left.

However, the strength of both sides was about the same. Although that Demon General was slightly weaker than him, he had still reached the Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage. If the other party wanted to retreat, he simply could not stop him.

Just like that, with one chasing and one fleeing, the three parties finally converged. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Xiao Yuchen sighed helplessly. He had done his best; being able to save the Core Disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect was already a stroke of good fortune.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, this guy has gone crazy. Let's stop him together."

The Second Demon General did not recognize at all that Xiao Yuchen was an impostor, and he came directly before Xiao Yuchen. The people from both sides also stood together.

Seeing this scene, Ren Tiancheng's heart tightened. He knew he had no chance left.

However, just as Ren Tiancheng was preparing to self-destruct his Primordial Spirit and perish together with the Demon Race, a turning point occurred.

"Second Brother, we have come to assist you... in going to the afterlife."

Xiao Yuchen and his two Clones attacked simultaneously. Although this Second Demon General had also reached the Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage, it was clear that he had not broken through for very long, and he was far inferior to the Great Demon General.

Caught completely off guard, the Second Demon General's body was directly pierced through by Xiao Yuchen and his Clones.

"Ah!"

The Second Demon General let out a painful scream, not understanding why his brothers would betray him. The vitality within his body rapidly drained away, and a Primordial Spirit overflowed from his body.

"Who... are you?"

At this point, even if he did not understand what was going on, he knew that these people were definitely not his brothers.

"Before you die, I will tell you the answer."

Xiao Yuchen once again brought out the god-devouring stele and directly sucked the Second Demon General's Primordial Spirit into the stele.

With the battle here over, the people of the Four Great Families instantly subdued these Demon Puppets and forcibly administered the Holy Water to them.

All of this happened in a flash. Ren Tiancheng and the Heavenly Dao Sect members behind him were also dumbfounded; they did not understand what had actually happened.

Although Xiao Yuchen had eliminated the Second Demon General, he was still emitting Devilish Qi. Ren Tiancheng did not dare to lower his guard and stared at Xiao Yuchen with great vigilance.

"Who on earth are you?" Ren Tiancheng asked, voicing the doubt in his heart.

Xiao Yuchen did not answer. The two Clones suddenly disappeared, and Xiao Yuchen also returned to his original appearance, while the Devilish Qi on his body turned into Chaos Qi.

"It's actually you? How did you come to my Heavenly Dao Sect?"

The one who spoke was not Ren Tiancheng, but the Third Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect, who had the cultivation of the Mahayana Stage Great Perfection. He was the one who led the team during the previous Five Provinces Grand Competition. The Four Great Sects of Dongba Prefecture did not have any experts of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage leading their teams; they were all at the Mahayana Stage.

"Third Elder, do you know this person?"

Ren Tiancheng felt puzzled. How could the Third Elder know such a ruthless person capable of killing someone at the Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage?

"Sect Master, they are people from the Qingyun Sword Sect of Xiyue Prefecture. The Four Great Sects of Xiyue Prefecture are led by him. During the Five Provinces Grand Competition, we purchased our spots from his hands," the Third Elder answered truthfully.

"What? How is this possible? Didn't you say the other party had the cultivation of the Dongxu Stage Great Perfection? How can he now kill someone at the Late Tribulation Transcendence Stage? And I can feel that the strength of his two Clones is not weaker than his main body."

Hearing Ren Tiancheng's words, the Third Elder also felt puzzled. The only explanation was that Xiao Yuchen and his group had hidden their cultivation back then.

"Sect Master, I cannot be mistaken. Those women behind him all participated in the competition. However, they were only at the Dongxu Stage before. In such a short time, they have all broken through to the Mahayana Stage. This is simply too unbelievable."

"Hey, is it necessary for you to whisper? If you want to know something, why don't you just ask me directly? These people are returned to you; they have already returned to normal."

The people of the Four Great Families released all the Heavenly Dao Sect Disciples. Having taken the Holy Water, they had already regained their consciousness and were kneeling in front of Ren Tiancheng, trembling.

"This... how did you do it?"

Ren Tiancheng was shocked. He had thought that after becoming Demon Puppets, they had completely become Demon people, which was why he had attacked regardless of the cost previously, and many Disciples had died at his hands.

"I am a doctor. There are not many illnesses I cannot cure. Naturally, they ate my antidote. Including the people of the Four Great Families, they all ate my antidote. I took ten billion Spirit Stones from you, and now I am returning a Sect to you. You are not losing out, are you?"
