274: Chapter 274 The Demise of Qingfeng, the Siege of the Holy Blood Cult!

Bi Luo raised her hand and waved it, taking a cold jade box engraved with containment array patterns from her Storage Pouch. She forced a drop of Green Ape essence blood from her fingertip and drew a talisman in the air.

"Collect!"

The blood talisman struck the pool. That wisp of Xuanshui clear qi seemed to have sentience and struggled frantically, but under Bi Luo's overwhelming suppression, it was eventually dragged into the jade box bit by bit.

"Click." The lid closed, and she applied three high-grade spirit-sealing talismans.

Bi Luo let out a long sigh of relief and tucked the jade box close to her body.

The sounds of battle on Canglan Mountain had gradually subsided, and the remaining Disciples of the Xuanshui Sect had also been slaughtered to the last.

Several hours later, Protector Kuang Xiong, bathed in blood, knelt and requested an audience:

"Sect Head, all seven hundred members of the Gangyuan Sect have been executed. This is what we dug up from beneath their Ancestral Master Hall."

The cloth bag was opened, revealing a cyan-gold gourd inside.

Bi Luo pulled out the stopper, and a sharp gale whistled out, carving several deep gouges into the stone pillars of the main hall...

qi of the wind dao: Nine Heavens Gale Qi!

"Well done."

A cold sneer curled the corners of Bi Luo's lips. In a single night, she had destroyed two Golden Core Sects and obtained two wisps of heaven and earth qi.

Such a great achievement was enough to comfort the spirit of Ancestor Cang Ya in heaven.

"Pass down the order."

Bi Luo put the gourd away, her gaze sweeping over the Sect Protectors and Protectors, all of whom were filled with Evil Qi: "Taizhen Prefecture is now ownerless land. From today on, everyone, open up and loot!"

"Spiritual Veins, medicine gardens, mines—take everything you can carry! If you can't take it, burn it all to the ground!"

"As you command!"

The Yao Race members roared in unison, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty fanaticism.

For the next three months, the entire Taizhen Prefecture was transformed into a living hell.

Over ten thousand outer members of the Holy Blood Sect, like a swarm of locusts, ransacked every Cultivator Family and marketplace of Loose Cultivators, big and small, in Taizhen Prefecture.

Those who resisted were killed; those who surrendered were killed!

Cart after cart of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Plants, and Magical Artifacts were continuously transported to the headquarters deep in the Hengling Mountains, scraping the area clean of the people's wealth.

These three months were the darkest three months in the history of the Taizhen Prefecture Cultivation world, and also the three months where the Holy Blood Sect ate their fill the most.

It was truly a scene of corpses strewn across the fields, families torn apart, clans destroyed, and entire cities razed.

The entire Taizhen Prefecture had turned into a living hell!

From top to bottom, not a single Family survived, and even the Loose Cultivators were hunted down and exterminated within these three months.

In the entire Taizhen Prefecture, less than one in ten Mortals remained.

Starving corpses were everywhere, people were trading children to eat, and every day, the living could only use bones and flesh as firewood to boil pots of human bone and meat broth...

Humans eating humans; all things suffer.

Yet in Bi Luo's eyes, this was nothing more than collecting interest!

The Xuanling Continent was once the ancestral land of the Yao Race. The Human Race killed Yao to take their cores, ate the meat of the Yao, and enslaved Yao pets.

When they forced mother beasts to kill their own offspring for amusement, they should have thought of today's misery. This was all retribution!

Bi Luo felt no guilt in her heart.

...

But good times eventually come to an end.

The chaos in the Liang Kingdom came quickly and went just as quickly...

With the destruction of the Qingfeng Sect's protective grand array, True Monarch Tongming, under the siege of three Cultivators of the same rank, risked self-destructing his Lifebound Treasure to escape heavily injured, his whereabouts unknown.

The Qingfeng Sect's thousands of years of foundation were thus carved up and finished off by the Haoran, Tianjian, and Tongyou Sects. From then on, qingfeng was removed from the records!

Just as the three Sects had finished eating their fill and were preparing to digest the spoils, the tragic state of Taizhen Prefecture finally reached their ears.

Tongyou Sect, Nether Main Peak.

"Presumptuous!"

The Sect Head of the Tongyou Sect shattered the jade table in front of him with a single palm strike, his hair standing on end in rage.

"A mere group of Demonic Path Loose Cultivators dares to take advantage of the chaos, destroy both the Xuanshui and Gangyuan Sects, and ransack an entire prefecture!"

"Do they really think the Righteous Path of our Liang Kingdom is dead?"

A Golden Core Elder with a gloomy expression stepped out and bowed: "Sect Head, calm your anger. This Holy Blood Sect acts quite mysteriously. Their members have extraordinary methods, and their Physical Bodies are tough, capable of transforming into those half-Yao beings."

"Taizhen Prefecture is now in ruins; we must strike with a heavy hand."

"Elder Yougui, I leave this matter entirely in your hands."

The Sect Head's eyes were cold and sharp: "Mobilize the Sects and Cultivator Families from the surrounding three prefectures. Give me a thorough search of Taizhen Prefecture."

"Not a single core member of the Holy Blood Sect is to be spared!"

"As you command."

Immortal Master Yougui had just received the order when he was called back by the Tongyou Sect Leader:

"By the way, did you just say that the Holy Blood Sect members can transform into half-Yao bodies?"

"This technique sounds good. Once this Holy Blood Sect is destroyed, we must obtain this Legacy to strengthen the foundation of our Tongyou Sect."

"Yes, Sect Head!"

Elder Yougui received the order and withdrew, immediately mobilizing the elites of the Tongyou Sect, marching aggressively toward Taizhen Prefecture.

However, when they arrived at the Hengling Mountains with great momentum, all they saw was a completely abandoned, hollowed-out headquarters.

The crimson mist had dissipated, the earth-fire passages had long since been destroyed, and not even a single Low-Grade Spirit Stone was left in the Sect's treasury.

As for the core members of the Holy Blood Sect, they had long since vanished into thin air.

"Scoundrels!"

"These ant-like scum, they really ran fast! Give chase!"

Elder Yougui was furious and used his supreme Golden Core Divine Ability to raze the entire mountain peak to the ground to vent his anger.

Upon sensing that the situation in the Liang Kingdom was stabilizing and that the Golden Core Cultivators of the three Sects were returning, Bi Luo decisively issued the order to retreat.

Those outer members who were still outside burning, killing, and looting were mercilessly treated as abandoned pawns to attract the attention of the Righteous Path Cultivators.

As for her, she had long since taken the thirty-six Sect Protectors, the Six Fiend Protectors, and the massive amount of resources looted over the past three months, and dispersed her forces.

Through various secret channels set up by Ancestor Cang Ya before his death, they quietly withdrew from the Liang Kingdom or scattered to various places.

Cutting off the tail to survive, like a cicada shedding its skin.
