90: Chapter 90 Infiltrating the Joyful Union Sect

"You killed my son and two Elders of the Hehuan Sect? Why did you do that?"

Ma Yunbiao's eyes were bloodshot. His son, Ma Shuai, had excellent cultivation talent, reaching the Middle Stage of the Houtian Realm in his thirties, and was the future head of the Ma Family.

"Why? Do I really need to remind you what your people went to Jiangcheng to do?" Xiao Yuchen asked back dominantly, his tone remaining very calm.

"But they hadn't succeeded yet, nor did they cause any harm to your family. Why did you have to kill them?"

"Because I detest people from the Hehuan Sect. Is that reason enough?"

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's response, Ma Yunbiao froze. It seemed this was his first time trying to reason with someone, only to meet someone even more unreasonable than him.

The reason he didn't attack immediately was still out of fear. Xiao Yuchen's Aura was too strong, and appearing silently inside the Ma Family residence was definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve.

"You... This is the first time I've seen a young man as arrogant as you. To dare walk right into our trap after killing my son, do you really think there's no one left in my Ma Family?"

Ma Yunbiao slammed the table and stood up, shouting outside, "Someone, capture this thief for me!"

"Hey, are you brainless? I already told you I walked in through the front gate. Do you really think there's anyone left outside who can come in and help you?" Xiao Yuchen picked up another apple from the fruit platter, speaking as he ate.

"You... Who on earth are you?"

Realizing that Xiao Yuchen had silently dealt with the experts of his Ma Family, Ma Yunbiao was truly terrified, his Aura visibly weakening.

"Too much nonsense. Go to Hell and ask King Yama."

Xiao Yuchen formed a claw with his right hand and sucked Ma Yunbiao straight into his grasp. No matter how much the latter struggled, it was in vain.

"Two Elders, save... save me."

Crack!

Before the two Elders could react, Xiao Yuchen snapped his neck. He then looked up at the two Elders. "Are you going to come at me one by one, or together?"

The two Elders narrowed their eyes. Unable to gauge Xiao Yuchen's depth, they didn't dare to act rashly. After exchanging a glance, they actually fled in opposite directions.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen shook his head helplessly. "Can the people of the Hehuan Sect only bully defenseless women? Truly spineless."

Xiao Yuchen summoned the xuanyuan sword once more. Under the driving force of his Spiritual Qi, the xuanyuan sword flew straight toward one of them, instantly piercing through his back.

Although the xuanyuan sword had lost its sword spirit and its power was greatly reduced, it was still a treasure sword that could cut through iron like butter, not something these people could block.

The Second Elder was terrified by the sight and ran even faster. However, no matter how fast he was, how could he outrun Xiao Yuchen, who was using Sword Flight?

"Hey, you are the Second Elder of the Hehuan Sect after all, with a cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Xiantian Realm. Do you only know how to run? Are you really not going to resist at all?"

Seeing Xiao Yuchen suddenly appear in front of him, blocking his path, the Grand Elder knelt down without any hesitation. The sense of pressure Xiao Yuchen gave him was too overwhelming.

"Young Master, there must be some misunderstanding between us. As long as you spare me, I will immediately leave the Hehuan Sect and become your subordinate. How about it?" the Second Elder said while kowtowing.

Xiao Yuchen did not answer. He walked quickly to the Second Elder, his eyes filled with disdain. "A spineless coward like you is truly unworthy of being my subordinate. Tell me, where is your Sect located?"

"You want to go to the Hehuan Sect?"

"Why? Is that not allowed?"

"Yes, of course you can. The Hehuan Sect is at..."

Seeing Xiao Yuchen actually walking up to him, the Second Elder secretly gathered force in his right hand.

"Haha, there can never be too much deception in war! Kid, go to Hell!"

The Second Elder suddenly leaped into the air and, with all his might, struck Xiao Yuchen's chest with his palm.

Bang!

The terrifying force bounced the Second Elder himself back, sending him flying, while Xiao Yuchen stood on the spot, completely motionless.

"How... how is this possible?"

The Second Elder was horrified. To take his palm strike from such a close distance and not budge an inch—how was that possible? Even a Martial Artist at the Early Stage of the Grandmaster Realm couldn't possibly take this palm strike completely unscathed.

"Your Hehuan Sect really is full of insidious and cunning villains."

Xiao Yuchen walked toward the Second Elder step by step, while the Second Elder kept backing away, his heart filled with extreme terror.

"It's a misunderstanding! Spare me, and I will lead you to the Hehuan Sect."

How could Xiao Yuchen listen to his nonsense any longer? He grabbed the Second Elder by the neck and used the Soul Searching Technique.

Learning of the Hehuan Sect's deeds, Xiao Yuchen flew into a rage. He killed the Second Elder with a single palm strike, then flicked out a wisp of Pill Fire.

The reason Xiao Yuchen was so angry was that the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect practiced an evil martial art called the Yin Demon Art, which was cultivated by absorbing the primordial Yin Qi of women.

This Cultivation Technique is divided into three Ranks: Hinayana, Mahayana, and Great Perfection. The Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect has already cultivated it to the Mahayana Rank. As long as he absorbs the primordial Yin Qi of thirty more women born on a Yin day and Yin hour, he will have a chance to Cultivate the Yin Demon Art to the Great Perfection Realm.

And tomorrow night, the night of the full moon, is when the Yin Qi is strongest this month. Performing it at that time would yield a higher success rate. Currently, they have already captured dozens of women.

Li Yiran was born on a Yin day and Yin hour, and because she was beautiful, she was targeted by Ma Shuai and the others.

Once a woman's primordial Yin Qi is taken by someone practicing the Yin Demon Art, she will die instantly, turning into a withered corpse.

In other words, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect has killed at least nearly fifty young women to reach his current level of cultivation. This is simply inhumane, and Xiao Yuchen would absolutely never let someone like this go.

Having learned the details of the situation, Xiao Yuchen did not linger and headed straight in the direction of the Hehuan Sect.

The Hehuan Sect was located deep in the mountains of the southern part of the Great Xia Kingdom, over three hundred kilometers away from Jiangcheng. Even with Xiao Yuchen's Sword Flight, it would take nearly an hour.

By the time he arrived at the gates of the Hehuan Sect, it was already past midnight. Knowing that the Hehuan Sect had two Grandmaster Realm powerhouses, Xiao Yuchen had originally planned to sneak in quietly, but the System suddenly issued a challenge quest.

"Ding! challenge quest issued: Barge into the Hehuan Sect, ruin the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect's plans, and rescue the captured women. Reward: Fire Control Technique First Form: Heaven Burning, Xuanyuan Sword Art First Form: Star Shattering. Does the host accept the challenge?"

Hearing the System issue another quest, Xiao Yuchen was overjoyed. Although there was no item reward this time, it was the first time he was rewarded with two Martial Skills at once.

If he could learn these two Martial Skills, Xiao Yuchen's combat power would definitely increase by a large margin, making fighting opponents of higher Realms incredibly easy.

"Accept!"

He had wanted to keep a low profile, taking advantage of everyone sleeping to quietly take them all down. But since the System didn't allow it, he didn't mind.

With that thought, Xiao Yuchen struck out with a palm across the air, and the entire front gate collapsed with a loud crash.

Although it was late at night and many had already gone to sleep, the sound of the gate collapsing woke many of them up. Several Disciples on night watch hurriedly ran over to check the situation.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into our Hehuan Sect?"

Xiao Yuchen wasted no words on these small fry. He struck directly with a palm, and the dozen or so night-watch Disciples instantly turned into a mist of blood.

Just like that, Xiao Yuchen killed his way through without any hesitation. None of these people were good, and they didn't deserve any sympathy.
