Chapter 724: Chapter 730: Malicious
Dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, just like that, died a humiliating death under Song Yalong’s surprise attack.
Another dozen Nascent Soul had suffered heavy injuries and were on the brink of death.
"Hahahahahaha!"
As Song Yalong looked at the broken flesh before him, he wiped the surging tears from his face, unable to control the loud laughter that erupted from him, thinking silently, ’My fellow senior and junior brothers, Yalong has avenged you!’
Even though the true culprits were those Divine Transformation ancestors, he would never be a match for Divine Transformation cultivators, no matter what, so he could only use the lives of Xuanfa Pavilion’s Nascent Souls to pay the debt.
"Aaaaah!"
The few Nascent Soul cultivators in the distance, furious beyond measure, roared and looked at him with eyes filled with immense hatred, saying, "Jiang Chongbai! You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
"I should have died long ago, but before I die, I want to take you all with me!" Perhaps because he had accomplished his heart’s desire, Song Yalong smiled freely.
"Want to die? It’s not that easy!" They thought they could lose face for Xuanfa Pavilion and then simply die to end it all? Where in the world was there such a good deal!
Those Nascent Soul cultivators made up their minds to make him suffer all the torments of the world and then use his Spiritual Soul to light a lamp, until a thousand years later, when the oil runs dry and the lamp fades, leaving just the last bit of his true spirit to reincarnate!
A fierce battle broke out among them, and although the Xuanfa Pavilion side had a superior number of combatants, they still fell into a disadvantageous position under Song Yalong’s life-threatening assault.
"Hahahaha, that’s all you amount to!"
People all cherish their lives, how could they willingly sacrifice themselves?
Meanwhile, the Divine Transformation old masters, who were deeply immersed in cultivation within the Spirit Realm, had also learned through the Nascent Souls that initially reported the situation about the disaster that had befallen the Xuanfa Pavilion in the outside world. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"Humph! A bunch of imbeciles who do not know the difference between life and death, daring to run wild over our heads!"
"After this matter settles, we’ll send someone to sweep through the Demon Cultivator forces around here, to let them know that they cannot be so rampant in this world!"
The Divine Transformation ancestors present were quite irritated; from a certain perspective, the Demon Cultivators had not taken them into account at all, otherwise how could they dare to undertake such a siege on Xuanfa State?
"Pei, Jin, and Huang, the Xuanfa Pavilion has been under your three’s guard for the past century, and we will trouble you to take care of this matter."
To prevent accidents, every hundred years three Divine Transformation cultivators would be arranged to handle issues the Nascent Soul cultivators could not resolve.
However, under normal circumstances, there was no need for the old masters to intervene.
Because the reputation of Xuanfa Pavilion preceded them.
For the past two to three hundred years, this was the first time they needed to take action to suppress unrest.
"It should be done," replied the three called upon, with a detached expression.
"Do any of you fellow Dao brothers have any intention of taking action?"
Those who were filled with righteous indignation and extreme anger just moments ago were now looking within themselves in silence, not uttering a word.
Each person who cultivated to the Divinity Transformation Realm did so with the intent to advance further in hopes of Ascension to the Upper Realm.
And they stayed reclusively in the Spirit Realm, very rarely venturing out, precisely to avoid accumulating too much karmic force and causation, so that when it came to their Tribulation Transcendence, the power of the Thunder Tribulation might be lesser.
This wasn’t like the good fortune that came when Qing Xuan Sect had a cultivator who succumbed to possession, so naturally, nobody was willing to invite trouble upon themselves.
However, at this moment, they were still unaware that just a short while ago, dozens of Xuanfa Pavilion’s Nascent Souls had fallen, a severe loss indeed.
And the outer disciples, under the mass assault of Demon Cultivators, had barely a few survivors!
It was only when they had finished their discussion and three Divine Transformation cultivators were about to dispatch that a Golden Core cultivator suddenly burst in, shouting, "Esteemed ancestors, terrible news! The southern part of Xuanfa State has completely fallen, and only the auction house continues to hold because there are cultivators from other forces defending it."
"And within Xuanfa Pavilion, due to being deceived by the enemy’s trickery, dozens of Nascent Souls have perished, another dozen are heavily injured and dying, with only a few remaining unscathed."
"What did you say!"
At this news, all of the Divine Transformations were unable to remain seated.
Among them, some had joined Xuanfa Pavilion from the beginning and then gradually increased their strength, while others were originally Loose Cultivators who later received support from Xuanfa Pavilion and joined midway.
But regardless of their original lineage and background, the fact that they could enjoy abundant resources and barely worry about trivial matters was wholly reliant on the support from Xuanfa Pavilion!
If Xuanfa Pavilion were to collapse, they would no longer have such good days!
Thus, those who had initially not planned to engage in battle now found themselves with no choice but to join the war.
Because solely relying on those three Divine Transformations could only secure Xuanfa State, but they absolutely couldn’t suppress the deteriorating situation quickly.
And allowing the Demon Cultivators to linger in Xuanfa State for even a moment longer would mean astronomical losses for Xuanfa Pavilion!
Not to mention, within the auction hall, there were Cultivators from various powers in the eastern domain; if they were to die in Xuanfa State, Xuanfa Pavilion would likely bear the brunt of their wrath.
And for Xuanfa Pavilion, which was fundamentally a commercial entity, this would be a colossal disaster!
So the Divinity Transformation ancestors could no longer sit idly by, and they all stepped out of the Spirit Realm.
"You scoundrel! Surrender at once! Kneel and beg for mercy!" one of the Divine Transformations shouted upon seeing Song Yalong, who was injured all over yet still fighting fiercely.
"In your dreams!"
Song Yalong, who had long been prepared for ritual suicide, had already begun activating a Secret Technique when he spotted the group of Divine Transformations from afar.
Before his words even finished, his body transformed into a mist of blood.
With a ’bang,’ the blood mist exploded violently, turning into myriad fine needles that scattered in all directions.
"Be careful!"
One of the Divine Transformations immediately sensed something was amiss and loudly warned.
But it was already a step too late!
Those seemingly harmless fine needles could actually pierce straight through the Golden Core Cultivators’ protective Spiritual Energy shields and embed into their flesh.
"So itchy! Why is it so unbearably itchy!" The minor wounds released an itch that was uncontrollable.
But once scratched, entire patches of flesh would be mangled, and then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, they turn into puddles of blood!
"Stay away from that bloody water! It’s highly poisonous!"
A Divine Transformation’s face darkened as he strode forward and started to gather the tainted blood.
"What a vile Cultivator!"
That poisoned blood could actually corrode his Mana!
"Damn it! How did a Cultivator who practices such wicked techniques enter the inner parts of Xuanfa Pavilion!"
The Nascent Souls who were still alive looked down in silence.
"Enough, now is not the time to investigate this. We should focus on eliminating the Demon Cultivators quickly."
"Zhang, you are well-versed in the art of medicine; please tend to those severely injured Nascent Souls."
"No problem," Zhang readily agreed.
Compared to fighting Demon Cultivators, healing fellow Cultivators wouldn’t attract any Karmic Force; it might even earn some merit.
Why would he refuse such an opportunity?
----
One quarter of an hour earlier.
Li Zhirui, who had stealthily returned, had reached the outskirts of the battlefield, a little closer and he would be among the Demon Cultivators.
’I need to find a way to get in.’ From his current position, he wouldn’t be able to acquire anything valuable amidst the chaos.
At best, he could only pick up some scraps from these low-ranking Demon Cultivators.
