Chapter 792: Xiao Yun Wants to Pierce the Sky
The battle proceeded quickly; cultivators from Qinghe Sect had no room to resist as the power disparity was simply too vast. How could Elder Liu and Elder Feng possibly fend off so many Luo Xian cultivators?
Moreover, among these over thirty Luo Xian cultivators, many were stronger than the two of them.
Hence, the battle was practically over in five minutes.
All about a hundred people from Qinghe Sect were killed, without a single survivor.
There was no helping it; to the cultivators on a mission, each of Qinghe Sect's people was like dazzling Immortal Stones, impossible to let escape.
"Ha ha, exhilarating, actually killed an Ninth Layer Heavenly Immortal, got 500,000 Immortal Stones, exhilarating!"
"Two Eighth Layer Heavenly Immortals, 600,000."
"It's actually a Fourth Layer Heavenly Immortal, hmm, 5,000,000…"
Everyone was laughing heartily, with only a few who didn't manage to secure kills feeling secretly fierce, determined to charge into the city later and kill a few. Damn, the money-making rate was too fast.
Poor Wanyuan had no idea that the situation had escalated beyond his wildest imagination.
The number of active cultivators at Bounty Hall was terrifying; not to mention the thousands of cultivators above Seventh Layer Heavenly Immortal, there were hundreds from Luo Xian Realm, among which were not few Seventh and Eighth Layer Luo Xian cultivators.
Now, these people, driven mad by Tang Rao's spendthrift strategy.
Qinghe Sect was facing a desperate catastrophe.
...
"Damn it, where are the people?" At this moment, Wanyuan also realized something was amiss, the entire Bounty City was like a ghost town, not a single person found throughout his walk.
It was too eerie.
"Sect Master, it's too suspicious now, we should return to our sect and make plans!"
"Yes, Sect Master, please reconsider."
"Sect Master..."
"Shut the hell up!" Wanyuan roared, I'm already here, with such grand preparations, and you're telling me to go back now?
Isn't that disgraceful? Won't that depreciate our reputation?
How will other forces view me, Wanyuan, from now on?
They will say, oh, the Sect Master of Qinghe Sect, Wanyuan, came with all the elites of Qinghe Sect to attack Bounty City, and got scared off without even seeing a single person!
When that happens, it's me who will lose face, and it's me they will covertly curse.
You all just stand there, blabbering nonsense that doesn't hurt your backs.
Better to discuss what to do now, instead of just babbling on meaninglessly.
"I'm telling you, now that we've come, unless we scour Bounty City inside out, we're not returning to the sect!" Wanyuan bellowed loudly, "Everyone follow me; whoever dares to go back to the sect midway, kill!"
Wanyuan was ruthless; he realized these people were just being stubborn. If he wasn't stern, they really might start treating him as a mere figurehead.
The people of Qinghe Sect were helpless; what could they do?
Now, their only hope was that nothing truly bad happens. They always had this uneasy feeling in their hearts, as if something big was about to happen.
After marching for fifteen minutes, Wanyuan finally saw someone.
A person was sitting in the middle of the road, legs crossed, looking quite casual.
"Sect Master, Tang Rao!" someone suddenly shouted from the crowd of Qinghe Sect.
Yes, the person sitting in the middle of the road, Sao Qianqian, is Tang Rao. A chicken leg in his left hand and a bottle of cold beer in his right, he seemed to be enjoying his food immensely.
Tang Rao had a smile on his face and his eyes, looking forward, were curved like two crescents.
"Hello, Wanyuan Sect Master, we finally meet," Tang Rao waved towards Wanyuan and said.
Wanyuan frowned deeply and took a deep breath. Clearly, Tang Rao already knew that he was coming to attack Bounty City, otherwise he wouldn't have taken precautions in advance.
Bounty City seemed like a ghost town, probably also Tang Rao's handiwork.
How did this young man manage to get the entire Bounty City to cooperate with him!
Isn't Bounty Hall always the boss of this city?
"Tang Rao, it looks like you are ready to die. That's good, it saves me the time to look for you. Rest assured, as long as you die and Bounty City submits, I will not trouble anyone else," Wanyuan said.
Yes, no matter how things unfolded, he wanted Tang Rao dead.
"Wanyuan Sect Master, about that, I always felt there's been a misunderstanding between us. All this has clearly escalated due to insufficient communication. I originally wanted to cooperate with you for mutual benefit, after all, cooperation leads to progress," Tang Rao said.
"Cooperate? Boy, you first killed three elders of our Qinghe Sect, then you killed my beloved Ah Huan, is this how you ask for cooperation?" Wanyuan roared angrily, Tang Rao, this little rascal, was increasingly infuriating.
"Well, it wasn't me who started it with Cai Guanghui and the others; they wanted to kill my sect's disciples. I told them to talk things out, but they insisted on killing me, this was self-defense. As for Ah Huan, surely you can't blame me for that either, you sent Ah Huan to kill me, it was still self-defense," Tang Rao spread his hands, looking completely innocent.
"Self-defense my ass, today, you must die!"
"Is there really no room for turnaround?" asked Tang Rao.
"No, I'm sending you to Hell, no excuses!"
"But I still have hostages, Ah Quan and some others are in my hands. If you start a battle with me now, I might end up killing them," Tang Rao said.
Wanyuan sneered, Ah Quan and others? Ah Huan is already dead, what use are those good-for-nothings?
Ah Quan might be an Eighth Level Luo Xian, but that's likely the limit of his potential. Besides, that kid Ah Quan thinks too much and can never just be a loyal dog.
"Ah Quan and the others are already dead by your hand, stop spouting nonsense! All men, listen to my command, Tang Rao killed many Qinghe elders, everybody attack, whoever kills this boy will be directly promoted to a sect elder!" Wanyuan shouted.
Wanyuan shouted loudly, but none really rushed forward.
Are you kidding? Tang Rao has killed so many elders, his strength must be terrifying. What are we counting for? Seeking death?
Wanyuan, you're a Ninth Layer Luo Xian, and you are the Sect Master, you should be leading by example, you go first!
Seeing no one moved, Wanyuan nearly spat blood.
Tang Rao also laughed wildly, "Wanyuan Sect Master, honestly, I'm feeling pretty embarrassed."
Tang Rao's words only fueled the fire in Wanyuan's chest even more, damn, this is humiliating, not only are you embarrassed, I'm about to become the king of embarrassment.
"A bunch of bastards, kill them all!" Wanyuan reached out and immediately killed a nearby cultivator with a slap, his eyes bloodshot.
It has to be said, this move by Wanyuan was somewhat effective.
Seeing Wanyuan so fierce, the people of Qinghe Sect had no choice but to charge forward, what else could they do? Wait to be killed by Wanyuan?
As for Wanyuan, he was also reliable. When everyone was charging forward, he leapt up, rushed to the front, his longsword cutting through the air, aimed straight at Tang Rao's head.
"Xiao Yun, time to collect some heads!" Tang Rao shouted loudly.
Clearly, the Qinghe Ancestor hadn't come, well sorry, Xiao Yun is about to rock the heavens!
