The Tianluo Sect members had just finished assembling according to their battle formation when the barrier suddenly vanished.
Everyone looked ahead nervously, and they all froze in place.
Shock, fear, awe—various emotions flashed across their faces.
Three hundred thousand soldiers had turned into three hundred thousand skeletons. Fang Ling stood calmly amidst the pile of bones, gazing at them from afar.
No one had expected such an outcome; the Liuhe Sect had been annihilated!
Mr. Mo quickly reacted, hurriedly dispelling the Seven Stars Basalt Formation and flying towards Fang Ling.
Yun Shuiqing and the others followed suit, and the core members of the Tianluo Sect knelt before him.
The remaining 120,000 Tianluo Sect members also hurriedly knelt down.
“Greetings, Sect Master!” Hundreds of thousands of voices echoed, seemingly reaching the heavens.
In the back, Dou Qin stood dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold.
She had long known that Fang Ling was not a benevolent person, but his actions today still shocked her.
“Three hundred thousand people slaughtered in an instant, what a ruthless heart!” she thought.
“I must stay away from this person in the future; he is too terrifying.”
Fang Ling looked at the 120,000 Tianluo Sect members kneeling before him and told them to rise.
Today, using the Liuhe Sect as a stepping stone, he had truly become the Sect Master of the Tianluo Sect.
Although he had previously subdued Yun Shuiqing and the other key leaders, he had seemed abrupt to the ordinary members.
They might have had to submit, but they would never have shown such reverence as they did now.
The three hundred thousand skeletons on the ground were proof; he believed that no one would dare betray him in the future.
“Sect Master, these are Ghost Emissary Mo Tong and Eagle Lord Feng Feiyan,” Yun Shuiqing introduced.
The two stepped forward a few paces and bowed to Fang Ling.
Mr. Mo said, “From now on, I will do my utmost to assist the Sect Master and strengthen our Tianluo Sect!”
Feng Feiyan turned to his Flying Eagle Sect subordinates and declared, “From this moment on, the Flying Eagle Sect is disbanded, and all members will join the Tianluo Sect!”
“The main force of the Liuhe Sect has been annihilated here. You should split up and completely eliminate this force,” Fang Ling ordered.
“Understood!” Yun Shuiqing and the others responded immediately.
After a brief discussion, they split into several groups and headed to the Liuhe Sect’s main gate and various branches.
In an instant, only Fang Ling and the injured and healers in the main gate remained.
He flashed over to Dou Qin’s side.
However, Dou Qin instinctively took a step back, putting some distance between them.
“Thank you, Doctor Dou, for saving lives. I, Fang Ling, owe you a favor,” he said, glancing at Dou Qin.
Dou Qin looked away and replied, “I was helping Sister Yun, not you. You don’t owe me anything.”
Fang Ling could clearly sense the coldness in her voice, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor, but he didn’t mind.
“The Liuhe Sect’s main gate likely still has experts. I need to check it out,” he said.
“Doctor Dou, after you finish treating these disciples, don’t rush to leave.”
“Wait here for the Bai family’s forces to arrive.”
“Tell Master Bai that I owe her a favor.”
“You can travel back with the Bai family cultivators; it will be safer.”
Dou Qin nodded lightly. “Understood.”
“Well… I advise you not to cultivate these evil arts.”
“Evil arts may quickly increase your strength, but they often have drawbacks.”
“Especially in the later stages, the drawbacks will become more apparent and may even affect your mind.”
“You’re still young. If you change now, it’s not too late.”
Although she didn’t know exactly what techniques Fang Ling was cultivating, based on her knowledge, she believed they were harmful.
“Thank you for the advice, Doctor Dou, but I have my own plans,” Fang Ling replied.
“I don’t care; your business has nothing to do with me,” Dou Qin snorted and turned away.
After giving his instructions, Fang Ling immediately left to catch up with the main force heading to the Liuhe Sect’s main gate.
…
Dou Qin soon finished treating the injured Tianluo Sect members.
After waiting for six hours, the Bai family’s forces finally arrived.
The Bai family had sent three Phecda Realm experts, including Bai Jiang’s brother and an older man named Bai Cunyu.
Bai Cunyu was the uncle of the Bai brothers and, like the Bai family’s ancestor, had been in seclusion for many years, rarely appearing.
Although the Bai family had only sent 30,000 cultivators, it was already 40% of their entire force, showing their serious attitude.
The Bai family cultivators had been prepared for a fierce battle.
But when they arrived, they were all stunned.
Many inexperienced disciples were so frightened that their legs went weak.
The sight of 300,000 skeletons piled on the ground was horrifying.
Even Bai Jiang and the other experienced members felt their scalps tingle at the sight.
Seeing the Bai family cultivators arrive, Dou Qin immediately flew over.
Bai Jiang looked at Dou Qin and quickly asked, “Doctor Dou, what happened here? Where is Young Master Fang?”
Dou Qin replied, “A few hours ago, Fang Ling single-handedly wiped out the 300,000 members of the Liuhe Sect.”
“Then he took his subordinates to the Liuhe Sect’s headquarters and various branches to finish the job.”
“Fang Ling asked me to tell you that he owes you a favor, but now that everything is settled, you came here for nothing…”
“You mean to say that Young Master Fang single-handedly eliminated 300,000 people?” Bai Jiang thought he had misheard and asked again.
Dou Qin nodded. “Yes, he did it alone.”
“Before the killing, he even set up a barrier, intending to leave no one alive from the start.”
“The sight of those white bones… I never expected his killing intent to be so intense.”
Bai Jiang didn’t say much more and immediately led the Bai family cultivators back home.
Dou Qin also followed, planning to leave Dragon City and return to the Medical Immortal Valley with her disciples as soon as she got back.
…
On the other side, at the Liuhe Sect’s main gate.
With the sect’s elite forces annihilated, the defense here was utterly vulnerable and had long been breached by Fang Ling and his men.
At this moment, he was in the Liuhe Sect’s forbidden area—Wind Stone Gorge.
The Liuhe Sect was a long-standing first-rate force in the South Sun Kingdom.
However, after strolling through the Liuhe Sect’s treasure vault, he was not satisfied.
For his subordinates, the Liuhe Sect’s treasure vault might be decent, but for him, there was nothing useful.
Mr. Mo had mentioned that deep within the Liuhe Sect, there was a forbidden area, which was this Wind Stone Gorge.
Black gale winds that could harm bones blew here year-round, and the deeper one went into the gorge, the stronger the winds became.
The Liuhe Sect had designated this dangerous place as a forbidden area because their supreme inheritance was a body technique.
This body technique required external forces for body tempering, and the unique gale winds here were quite effective.
But to prevent uninformed disciples from entering recklessly and losing their lives, the sect had made it a forbidden area.
He walked slowly, feeling that the wind at his current position was already too much for even a Nether Beast to endure.
This made him curious about what lay at the end of the gorge, capable of producing such powerful gale winds.
“I bet no Liuhe Sect leader has ever reached the end of this gorge,” he thought.
