325: Chapter 151 Pill Fusion_1 325: Chapter 151 Pill Fusion_1 Cao Zhen couldn’t understand how fast a person’s sword had to be to strike a blow and have two successive sounds follow.
If the sounds came, where was the person?
He looked around but could not see any trace of anyone.
Where was the opponent?
As he pondered in surprise, the voice of the other party came again.
“Everyone, I am stationed in the city and cannot go out.
Please do me a favor and bring my disciple to Set Soil City as soon as possible.”
The people all around heard this and their faces suddenly changed dramatically, exchanging looks of shock.
“This is the swordsman!”
“That person isn’t nearby, they made their move directly from within the city!”
“Where is Set Soil City?”
“A thousand miles away!”
“What!
From such a distance, he could actually do it, slay that demonic beast with a single sword stroke!
What cultivation realm is this!”
“Such an expert is merely the disciple of the Grand Preceptor?”
One after another, the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect were filled with shock.
Their sect was one of the ten great Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and as disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, they felt immense pride.
But now, many of them going down the mountain for the first time finally understood the saying, “There are heavens beyond the heavens, and people beyond people.”
Cao Zhen finally understood why he saw the sword light first, then heard the voice with gaps between each sentence.
It turned out that the other party was a thousand miles away.
In the air, the other party’s voice came once more, “However, before you head to Set Soil City, I hope you will do one thing first.
All residents and lives that have been tainted by the Blood demon will turn demonic.
Such a demonization cannot be reversed, and once they are fully transformed, they will become demonic beasts harming others everywhere.
To ensure the safety of the other dynasty’s citizens, they must all be eliminated.”
The voice that came with it carried an undeniable authority.
“As cultivators of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, you have the duty and the responsibility to eliminate them all!”
All around, the faces of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples immediately turned ugly.
“He previously asked us to take his disciple away, like asking us for help.
But now, ordering us to kill those who are demonized is a command!”
“We are all cultivators, yet we’re supposed to do work for mortals!”
“Forget it, after all, he just saved us.”
“We of the Hundred Peaks Sect are of the Righteous Path; we would have done it anyway, but his tone, it’s infuriating.”
“Enough,” Lan Pili stopped everyone, “No matter what, since we have encountered this, we cannot ignore it.
The people in the town and all life have been drained by the beast, but this does not mean that all residents live within the town itself.
Outside the small town, there are also people, and those people are probably also demonized by the beast’s blood.
I’ll go to the town again to check, Peak Master Cao, you take people to the surroundings, to look for those living outside the town.”
Most of the town’s residents would live inside the town, but there is also a portion of people, for instance, those who might have orchards outside the town and guard their orchards at night.
But these people are all residents of Yu Min Town and likely all offered their blood in sacrifice before, and anyone who has offered blood would be demonized.
Cao Zhen did not take action right away but instead frowned and asked, “Is there no other way?”
As his words ended, from the river outside the small town, there came a series of eerie howling sounds.
“Go quickly!”
Everyone reacted swiftly and chased towards the direction of the sounds.
In an instant, everyone had arrived at the creek outside the village, where a row of houses was situated.
At this moment, the doors of these houses were all wide open, and villagers, including men, women, the old, and children, stepped out from the houses.
However, their eyes were all exuding a demonic red glow, their faces contorting continuously, and on their bodies, odd scales emerged.
In the courtyards, the watch dogs had grown teeth as sharp as scythes.
Cao Zhen even saw that a few chickens in the yard had long, curved horns growing out of their foreheads…
Swarms of Demonic Qi surged forth from these villagers, as well as from the poultry and animals…
“Demonic transformation—they have already begun to turn.
They can’t be spared!”
“Strike!”
Each of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples saw this and immediately took action.
In a moment, divine skills shot forth.
These simple demonic beasts, corrupted by blood, might be formidable to ordinary people, but against the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, they had no power to fight back.
In just a short time, all these demonized beings that had not yet fully transformed were slain.
And the Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples did not stop; they continued to explore the surroundings with the small town as the center.
Cao Zhen looked at the corpses of the ordinary folks now lying in pools of blood, all of whom had been demonized, and sighed softly.
These were all ordinary mortals, but they had already turned demonic.
What else could they do?
Not to kill them would cause more people to suffer.
It was all because of the Red Refinery Demonic Sect.
In half an hour, everyone had slain all the demonized people and creatures within Yu Min Town.
And with the death of the demonic beasts, the bright red blood continued to flow into the middle of the small town, the whole town as if soaked in a bloodbath.
Lan Pili waited for everyone to return and stood outside the small town, looking at the blood-soaked town, and said solemnly, “Such a vast amount of blood.
If ordinary people pass by here or wild beasts arrive, they would likely be demonized by the blood.
We must clean up this blood.”
