A shadow of a cudgel descended from the heavens, tearing through the air and striking with such force that the earth shook and mountains swayed.
The cult remnants around, above, and below the altar did not utter a sound. Their movements froze where they stood, and they crumbled to ash.
Yuan Fazu descended with a short cudgel in hand, consumed by fury. "One moment of carelessness, and I let you rats ruin everything!"
The altar had been smashed into pieces. Bloody sacrificial offerings on the table left trails of blood, while scattered clutter rolled across the ground.

Yuan Fazu could not help but be horrified. The Corrupt Demon had actually prepared such an important offering. Today's affair would not be easily settled!
He looked up at the sky. The enormous Nine Cauldrons were still descending inch by inch.
The enormous Nine Cauldrons rising from the ground were also slowly ascending, as though they were about to join them.

"Hand over your life!"

At different locations throughout the Southern Border, Marquis Shen's disciples successively wielded their weapons to kill the cult remnants and destroy the altars.
The artifacts they seized were horrifying to behold. There were complete ceremonial carriage sets used by ancient Sealed Lords when traveling, as well as command banners and armor used to wage war
