Chapter 248: Demonic Cultivators Are All To Be Eliminated!

In the Yin Soul Mountain Range, chilling winds blew ceaselessly, and the trees resembled twisted, ghastly arms stretching up from the ground. As the wind passed, the leaves rustled loudly, resembling the faces of people. Despite it being broad daylight, the interior of the mountain range was shrouded in darkness, giving it the appearance of dusk.

A group of five was speeding towards the edge of the Yin Soul Mountain Range. These five individuals hailed from the Golden Phoenix Sect of Zheng Country, one of the most renowned righteous sects in the neighboring nations.

In every major battle between righteous and demonic forces, the Golden Phoenix Sect had been the leader, spearheading assaults against the Three Demonic Sects of Wu Country.

Because of this, disciples of the Golden Phoenix Sect generally held themselves in high regard, believing that their life's purpose was to punish the wicked, promote the good, and act heroically. They felt it would be a lifelong regret if they couldn't eliminate several demonic cultivators. These five, driven by their conviction to punish demons, had stealthily made their way to the Yin Soul Mountain Range.

Among the Three Demonic Sects of Wu Country — the Corpse Yin Sect, the Poison Gu Sect, and the Myriad Souls Sect — the Myriad Souls Sect was recognized as the weakest. Thus, the group chose the Yin Soul Mountain Range as the first destination for their external training expedition.

The leader of the group was a young male cultivator who had recently reached the Golden Core stage. He was strikingly handsome and carried a pair of swords, embodying the ideal of a born hero.

His name was Xiao Tianjiao. From a young age, he was identified as possessing a ultimate-grade Golden Spirit Root and was taken as a direct disciple by a Nascent Soul elder of the Golden Phoenix Sect when he was only one year old, essentially born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He had always been the apple of the Nascent Soul elder's eye, cherished above all others.

The others in the group, Ding Yi at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and Zhao Rong, Zhu Ang, and Tang Feng at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, greatly admired Xiao Tianjiao, bordering on fanatical devotion. When they heard that Xiao Tianjiao planned to venture into the Yin Soul Mountain Range for training, they eagerly volunteered to join him.

"I never imagined the Myriad Souls Sect could commit such heinous acts, using the heads of over a hundred thousand mortals to craft such a vile object!" Zhao Rong said, looking at the object in her hand that resembled jade but was not, her face showing a look of revulsion.

Xiao Tianjiao spoke calmly, "This object is known as Spirit Mechanism Jade. The demonic cultivators value it for its ability to enhance one's comprehension of cultivation techniques and scriptures when worn over long periods. That's what sparked their malicious intent."

Ding Yi, filled with righteous indignation, declared, "This item must be destroyed! Such cruelly crafted things should not exist in this world!"

Xiao Tianjiao nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it should be destroyed. However, with our current power, destroying it will be challenging." He extended his hand, "Give it to me. I'll take it back to our sect, and have my master dispose of it."

Zhao Rong respectfully handed the Spirit Mechanism Jade to Xiao Tianjiao. She then asked, "Uncle Master Xiao, are we to leave the Yin Soul Mountain Range now?"

Xiao Tianjiao confirmed, "Indeed, we should leave. The Myriad Souls Sect's response has been slow, and it would be safer to leave the Yin Soul Mountain Range sooner rather than later. I brought you here; it's my responsibility to ensure your safety."

The four Foundation Establishment disciples were immensely grateful, looking at Xiao Tianjiao with even greater admiration.

Zhu Ang expressed regret, "It's a pity we couldn't personally slay any demonic sect cultivators!"

"Yes, indeed," sighed Tang Feng. "We came here hoping to kill one or two demonic cultivators, yet we haven't managed to fulfill that wish."

Xiao Tianjiao smiled and said, "No matter, I have already scouted the area. Not far to the southeast, there's a stronghold of the Myriad Souls Sect called Yin Wood Villa, which is surely guarded by some demonic cultivators."

"I will provide support; the task of punishing the evildoers will be yours," he delegated.

The four disciples rejoiced, "Thank you, Uncle Master Xiao!"

Moments later, they arrived at Yin Wood Villa. True to its name, the area around the villa was abundant with Yin wood, which is why the Myriad Souls Sect had established a villa there and stationed several Qi cultivators to oversee the mortals who chopped and planted the Yin wood.

Their eyes lit up, eager for the confrontation.

Xiao Tianjiao instructed with a smile, "Go ahead. This villa is a property of the Myriad Souls Sect—slaughter its cultivators. But remember, the mortals are just pitiful souls. Do not become blinded by bloodlust and harm them as well."

"Understood!" The four disciples, led by Ding Yi, activated their magic tools and charged forward.

Xiao Tianjiao watched them depart, then quickly made his escape. "Having obtained two pieces of Spirit Mechanism Jade, this trip has already been highly profitable," he thought, chuckling softly. "I have a way to escape, and with these fools causing such a commotion, it's sure to draw the attention of the Myriad Souls Sect's Golden Core cultivators. This will allow me to save a trick up my sleeve."

He accelerated away from the Yin Soul Mountain Range. Before long, Yin Wood Villa was a scene of carnage.

The four Golden Phoenix Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators retracted their magic tools, while a few mortals who had miraculously survived knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing and pleading for their lives, their foreheads bleeding from the impact.

"Didn't I tell you not to lose control? Why did you still end up harming mortals?" Tang Feng said discontentedly.

Zhu Ang scoffed coldly, "These mortals work for the demonic sect; aren't they also accomplices, aiding the enemy? They deserve to die; there's no need to spare them."

Ding Yi sighed lightly, "Although that's true, killing mortals will only increase our bad karma…"

Zhao Rong whispered, "We've already killed some, we might as well finish the job to prevent these few from escaping and tarnishing our Golden Phoenix Sect's reputation."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Adding to their bad karma was a minor issue. Damaging the reputation of the Golden Phoenix Sect, a paragon of righteousness, was far more serious. With a splatter of blood, the remaining few mortals met their end, their pleas for mercy unable to save their lives.

As the four were about to leave, a sudden gust of chilling wind swept through the area, and in the blink of an eye, three Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared—it was Wang Hu and his companions from Black Evil Peak.

Zhu Ang, far from alarmed, was actually pleased. He immediately activated his magic tool and positioned himself for battle, "Excellent! More demonic cultivators have arrived, this time at the Foundation Establishment stage! I can finally fight with all my strength!"

Ding Yi, however, remained vigilant, scanning the surroundings for potential sneak attacks. After all, demonic cultivators were known for their lack of martial honor, excelling in ambushes and poisoning.

Seeing the carnage at Yin Wood Villa, Wang Hu's expression darkened drastically. This villa was an asset of Black Evil Peak, and one of the Qi cultivators stationed there was his younger brother, for whom he had worked hard to secure this advantageous position. To find him slaughtered by these Golden Phoenix Sect disciples was infuriating.

Wang Hu's eyes reddened with fury, "You will pay for my brother's life!" With that, he charged directly at Ding Yi and Zhu Ang.

The other two Black Evil Peak cultivators engaged Zhao Rong and Tang Feng, respectively. The battle became three against four, with Ding Yi, a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert, quickly gaining the upper hand against the trio from Black Evil Peak.

Meanwhile, Bai Jinkun and Chu Xuan were perched on a tree nearby, observing the fight.

"Junior brother," Bai Jinkun said as he noticed a figure escaping in the distance, "there's a Golden Core cultivator fleeing that way, probably just at the early stage. Go and bring back his head."

He pointed in the direction where Xiao Tianjiao was escaping, a slight smile playing on his lips.
