59: Chapter 59 Annihilating a Hundred Beasts, the Black Tortoise Bows Its Head

"There is no need for you all to be afraid. I am a kind-hearted person and only kill those who deserve to die."

Bai Cang revealed a pure and friendly smile, comforting the few remaining survivors. "Once your sects bring the spirit stones, you can go home!"

"But for now, there is one more matter I need your help with..."

Before they could agree...

He swept them into the space formed by the Cloud Swallowing divine ability and soared into the sky, calling down to Yue Shanhe on the ground, "If anyone comes to pay the ransom, tell them to wait outside the mountain."

Yue Shanhe nodded in agreement, marveling inwardly, 'Millions of spirit stones... Ancestor Bai's single move has already reached the limit of what I, Yue, have ever known!'

In that moment of daze, Bai Cang had already transformed into a streak of light and vanished, his destination unknown...

Half a day later.

Near the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, at the Hundred Beasts Sect.

A figure appeared in the sky above, drawing the attention of the Hundred Beasts Sect. Someone flew up into the air and shouted, "Who dares to fly over our Hundred Beasts Sect!"

Bai Cang swept his gaze over and saw it was a minor cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining. He said:

"I am Bai Cang, the Mountain-Guarding Spirit Beast of the Mountain and River Sect. I will give you one chance: leave the Hundred Beasts Sect's gate within one minute, and I will not kill you!"

Without giving the man a chance to speak, he waved his hand and threw him down to the ground.

An ocean of Gold Core demon power surged wildly from his body; a gale rose abruptly, and dark clouds gathered.

The minor cultivator, who had intended to curse, opened his mouth in terror at the sight. He sent out several transmission talismans and fled toward the outside of the mountain.

Bai Cang amplified his voice and repeated his words once more.

From the Mountain-Guarding Spirit Beast, Ancestor, Sect Master, and Elders down to the disciples and handymen, the entire Hundred Beasts Sect took notice.

Their Hundred Beasts Sect was one of the great sects of the Ming Kingdom; who was so suicidal as to come here and stir up trouble?

"A Tier 3 Gold Core Great Demon?!"

The Hundred Beasts Sect's strongest Mountain-Guarding Spirit Beast, the Xuan Shui Snake Turtle, and the Hundred Beasts Sect Ancestor opened their eyes in their secluded cultivation chambers, sensing Bai Cang's strength as he appeared above the sect.

"Is there perhaps some misunderstanding, Senior?"

General Xuanshui was the first to speak and ask.

Internally, he wondered when the sect had provoked such a powerful enemy, his eyes darting toward the Hundred Beasts Sect Ancestor.

The Hundred Beasts Sect Ancestor shook his head gently; he had not concerned himself with sect affairs for a long time!

Bai Cang smiled and said, "There is no misunderstanding. I have come specifically to annihilate your Hundred Beasts Sect."

"I see that you two were also unaware, which is quite pitiful. I can give you both a quick death!"

"Two Ancestors, retreat quickly!"

The Hundred Beasts Sect Master shouted. How could he possibly not know Bai Cang's identity?

Bai Cang had killed his sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators repeatedly, and now it seemed the three late-stage Foundation Establishment Elders he had sent out had also been killed!

Bai Cang activated his third divine ability—Zixiao Tribulation Lightning. Bolts of purple lightning, thousands of meters long, struck downward.

The Hundred Beasts Sect's Tier 2 Mid-Grade sect-protecting array, the 'Thousand Beasts Prostrating Mountain Array', was instantly activated, manifesting the phantoms of ten Tier 2 demon beasts that lunged toward the Zixiao Tribulation Lightning.

Yet, at the moment of contact, they shattered like dream bubbles!

The array teetered on the brink of collapse while the Zixiao Tribulation Lightning continued to strike relentlessly. Thunderclouds gathered for a thousand miles, looking like a heavenly tribulation!

General Xuanshui looked as if facing a mortal enemy, shouting inwardly, 'How can he possess such terrifying lightning arts!'

Most demon beasts feared lightning tribulations, and he was no exception.

The Zixiao Tribulation Lightning struck continuously; it looked as if the next strike would shatter the array.

General Xuanshui did not dare use the turtle shell he had always been proud of to resist. In a panic, the snake head on his tail lunged out.

With one strike, it bit through the body of the Hundred Beasts Sect Ancestor.

General Xuanshui cried out, "This little turtle is willing to surrender to the Great King! Please spare my life!"

Crack.

General Xuanshui's timing was perfect, occurring exactly at the moment the Thousand Beasts Prostrating Mountain Array shattered.

"Oh?"

Bai Cang halted the Zixiao Tribulation Lightning. Somewhat surprised, he smiled and said, "If you offer a True Spirit Blood Oath, I naturally will not make things difficult for you!"

"Yes! Thank you, Great King!!"

A speck of blood-colored golden light flew from General Xuanshui's forehead toward Bai Cang.

Bai Cang took it away.

A master-servant connection was established between him and General Xuanshui. With just a single thought, he could cause General Xuanshui's true spirit to perish!

The Hundred Beasts Sect Ancestor had not yet completely breathed his last. He stared at General Xuanshui with hatred and asked, "Why?"

General Xuanshui replied calmly, "This old turtle has finally understood how to live. My master has been dead for hundreds of years, and I have guarded your Hundred Beasts Sect for hundreds of years as well!"

"Now that the Hundred Beasts Sect is to be destroyed, I am powerless to help. It is better to preserve my own life!"

These words were spoken with complete honesty.

The Hundred Beasts Sect Ancestor wanted to say more, but he couldn't catch his breath and died.

As for the Hundred Beasts Sect Master?

He had been killed by Bai Cang the moment the array broke.

By now, the Hundred Beasts Sect's mountain gate was in utter chaos, with everyone fleeing outward incessantly.

Bai Cang casually released golden light to slay all the Foundation Establishment cultivators attempting to escape, as well as some minor Qi Refining cultivators who tried to seize the Hundred Beasts Sect's resources in the chaos...

As for the rest, he let them go as they pleased.

He was not afraid that some of these Qi Refining disciples might have deep feelings for the Hundred Beasts Sect.

If there were any, they would simply serve as whetstones to temper the disciples of the Mountain and River Sect.

Bai Cang then released the surviving cultivators from the four sects. The several people stood in the ruins, dazed, not knowing where they were.

Soon, a cultivator from the Faheng Sect, which was not far from the Hundred Beasts Sect, recognized the place and cried out in shock, "The Hundred Beasts Sect... has been destroyed?!"

"The Hundred Beasts Sect?"

The others all stared with wide, terrified eyes.

In the ruins, lightning leaped, fires burned fiercely, and mangled corpses were everywhere.

A Tier 2 Perfection demon beast the size of a small hill, with a turtle's head and a snake's tail, lay prostrate on the ground, bowing in submission to Bai Cang.

If he could destroy the Hundred Beasts Sect, he could naturally destroy any of their sects—Kunyu Sect, Faheng, or Jushan!

Only now did they truly understand Bai Cang's terror. They knelt on the ground, crawling forward, and cried out, "We beg Ancestor Bai to spare our lives!"

Bai Cang feigned surprise and said, "Eh? Didn't I say I would release you? As long as your respective sects are obedient..."

"Ancestor Bai's divine might is supreme! After returning to our sects, we will tell our Sect Masters to honor the Mountain and River Sect as the Superior Sect!"

The Faheng Sect cultivator said apprehensively.

"Our sect will do the same!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the other two sects chimed in one after another, fearing they might be a second too slow.

Bai Cang nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's more like it. As long as others do not defy me, I am actually a very easy person to talk to."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved...

He walked toward the important areas of the Hundred Beasts Sect, taking all their cultivation techniques, inheritance manuals, and important resources.

General Xuanshui followed him and said respectfully, "My King, I know where the Hundred Beasts Sect's secret grounds are! I will lead the way..."

Bai Cang nodded with satisfaction. Under General Xuanshui's guidance, he arrived at a secret location.

"My King, the Hundred Beasts Sect is famous for controlling demon beasts. They rely on two things: one is the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Technique,' and the other is this myriad beast greed spring!"

General Xuanshui introduced.

Bai Cang was not interested in the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique, but he took an interest in the latter and asked, "What use does this myriad beast greed spring have?"

General Xuanshui replied happily:

"This myriad beast greed spring is transformed from a certain strange stone. As long as spirit stones are placed around it, it can continuously produce Greedy Spring water."

"Regularly drinking the water of this myriad beast greed spring has two uses!"

"First, it can purify a demon beast's bloodline, making it more pure. Second, it can accelerate a demon beast's cultivation speed; the effect is most rapid at Tier 1, while it becomes much weaker at Tier 2."

"As for reaching a cultivation level like mine, it is basically useless."

Bai Cang's eyes shone with a faint, strange light. This myriad beast greed spring was a wondrous treasure to him!

If his offspring's cultivation speed increased, it would ultimately feed back into him.

Having his offspring drink from the myriad beast greed spring—wasn't that equivalent to indirectly accelerating his own cultivation speed?

Furthermore, his descendants were destined to be endless in the future...
