The Cloud Radiance Sect was severely weakened by the old nun's attack, so they retreated to Purple Cloud Mountain.

"The entire sect is already a defeated army, yet they still want to come here and act arrogantly!"

After understanding the other party's strength, Chen Wang felt more confident.

In his opinion, that Supreme Elder is most likely in grave danger, and may even be dead by now.

The only person he was somewhat wary of was that sect leader.

A master in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and a complete Foundation Establishment Late Stage, unlike him, who is a pseudo-late stage expert, only his Divine Sense is at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

The differences are significant.

Of course, there are still two Foundation Establishment elders left in the sect. Chen Wang pondered for a moment.

"Based on the current arrangements on Golden Wind Island, there shouldn't be any problem in protecting ourselves."

"However, the other side still has quite a few Foundation Establishment experts. We need to kill those two more."

A cold glint appeared in Chen Wang's eyes.

At this moment, he had both the strength and the confidence.

Especially during assassinations, he can unleash his full power and generate extremely formidable combat strength.

From these people's memories, we learned that the people of the Cloud Radiance Sect were extremely domineering and their hands were stained with blood. They were not good people at all, and they had intercepted a lot of things over the years. Each of them had some treasures.

After killing them, we can obtain some cultivation resources.

"Now that we've already killed members of their sect, we must be more thorough in our actions after this feud is established. Let's start honing our cultivation by destroying your Cloud Radiance Sect!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He guarded this mountain path, and whenever the disciples of the Cloud Radiance Sect went out, they would encounter him and be killed one by one.

In just half a day, they had already killed more than a dozen disciples of the Cloud Radiance Sect.

The Cloud Radiance Sect had already lost many disciples due to the old nun's killings, so only a few dozen people came here.

They had no power to resist Chen Wang and were quickly killed.

Chen Wang disposed of the corpses and collected all the Spirit Stone they had.

After searching the souls of these people, it was discovered that their hands were indeed covered in blood, a horrifying sight.

Sometimes they would pretend to Bandit Cultivator and go out to rob people.

"No wonder I said there are so many Bandit Cultivator in this world, it turns out that some sect disciples go out to rob people."

Chen Wang shook his head.

He already had no psychological burden, so this made him even less burdened and it went very smoothly for him.

When it got dark,

He finally got to see a Foundation Establishment Realm expert return.

According to the disciples' memories, this Foundation Establishment expert was named Ma Jun.

He had two disciples who had followed him in cultivation for many years and were both at the Late-Stage Qi Refining.

After learning about their cave abode, Chen Wang came to guard the road they were sure to pass. Sure enough, the three of them arrived in the air on Law Artifact.

Chen Wang had changed his appearance, transforming into a disciple of the Cloud Radiance Sect. He was tall, with bloodstains on his face and body, and disheveled hair.

He was piloting a Flying Artifact, which was also something that disciple often used.

He cried out pitifully, "Master, save me!"

This man was also a disciple of Ma Jun, and his surname was also Chen; his name was Chen Baoshu.

Suddenly, he appeared, screaming for help, which immediately attracted the attention of Ma Jun, a Foundation Establishment expert in the sky.

Ma Jun asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

If Chen Wang were to get close to this disciple while impersonating him, he would definitely be exposed.

His transformation technique wasn't Gao Ming as to be indistinguishable, but since it was getting late and he was quite far away, he spoke up, "That old nun is catching up! The sect's experts have suffered heavy casualties. Master, you shouldn't go back."

Seeing that Chen Wang mentioned the old nun, and under the cover of night, Ma Jun did not recognize his identity.

Startled, he exclaimed, "What? That old nun has caught up with us?"

His two disciples trembled upon hearing this.

That old nun was ruthless. Their Cloud Radiance Sect was originally considered a major sect, but she had slaughtered so many of their Foundation Establishment experts that almost all of them were wiped out.

If Ning Yunfei hadn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment, there would be even fewer Foundation Establishment experts.

At this point, Ma Jun wanted to inquire about the details, so he slowed down.

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The person in front of me is acting strangely!

His senses were extremely sharp; he could perceive...

But by then it was too late.

Chen Wang was extremely close to him at this moment. Centered on him, a flame shot out and burned the two disciples to death on the spot! Chen Wang's flame was extremely fierce. He was a fifth-level expert, the Little Fire God.

His abilities were on full display at this moment.

There was no advance notice of the spell's casting, and it happened without warning. It was fast and fierce, and in an instant, a sea of fire appeared in the sky.

The two disciples were burned to death on the spot. The Foundation Establishment Realm expert felt a chill in his heart and immediately withdrew.

Even so, he was burned, his skin torn and bleeding, and he looked extremely miserable.

Before he could speak, Chen Wang raised his hand and unleashed another beam of azure light. The Green Ox Sword pierced through the air, severing his arm! Ma Jun screamed in agony. Chen Wang pressed his attack, summoning the Altar Suppressing Wood and blasting it towards him! The Altar Suppressing Wood rose against the wind, striking the man directly.

After being struck by several blows, Chen Wang's Divine Sense transformed into a sharp sword and slashed at his brow!

This Foundation Establishment expert was quickly killed by Chen Wang's sneak attack. He didn't have to fight for long before his body fell to the ground.

Chen Wang glanced at them and noticed that the Storage Artifact on the two disciples had also been burned in an instant.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "Oh no, the Little Fire God's power was a bit too strong. I must not do that again next time."

Chen Wang intended to launch a surprise attack, so he did not use Law Technique but instead employed the Genetic Ability of the Little Fire God.

Although the name "Little Fire God" sounds somewhat frivolous, his abilities are truly formidable.

This is the class with the strongest attack power among the fifth tier in the Winter.

Chen Wang examined the body and found that Ma Jun had no Spirit Artifact, only two Top Grade Magic Tool. Chen Wang shook his head and kicked the corpse, saying, "He looks decent enough, but he's a penniless wretch!"

Chen Wang shook his head.

The old nun's massacre of the entire family was truly astonishing; many weapons and treasures were destroyed.

Ma Jun originally possessed a Spirit Artifact, but it was destroyed in that battle.

However, Chen Wang wasn't there for these Spirit Artifact; opening the blind box was an unexpected bonus.

He took out the Storage Artifact from Ma Jun's body and put the Spirit Stone and pills inside into his pocket.

"Let's keep killing like this, until the entire Cloud Radiance Sect is reduced to a lone commander. Then dealing with that sect leader will be much easier."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

At this time, only three Foundation Establishment Realm experts remained in the Cloud Radiance Sect, while the fate of one Supreme Elder was still unknown.

However, many disciples of the Cloud Radiance Sect remained within the sect and did not venture out, so Chen Wang had no opportunity to kill them.

Chen Wang found a place and took large amounts of pills, meditated to regulate his breathing, and recovered his cultivation level without the slightest hesitation.

The key to doing this is to exploit a time difference, swiftly and decisively.

Otherwise, once the other party realizes what's happening, you'll be the one in trouble.

At this point, the Cloud Radiance Sect was already in some chaos.

Many disciples of the Cloud Radiance Sect went out but have not returned for a long time.

The two Foundation Establishment Realm experts who went to the Thirty-Six Islands, Ning Yunfei and the elder, have not returned.

Ma Jun did not return, which sparked some discussion.

The remaining Elder Kou knew that something bad had probably happened, so he didn't care about anything else.

This alerted the sect leader Wu Xuanzi, who was in seclusion.

Wu Xuanzi was a middle-aged Daoist priest, dressed in a black and white Daoist robe, with three long wisps of beard, and he looked like an immortal.

Golden light burst forth from his eyes as he opened and closed them, and he said in a deep voice, "So many people haven't returned, something must have happened."

He gave Elder Kou a cold look and said slowly, "You only think of reporting to me now!"

Elder Kou explained, "These disciples don't always return on time after they go out. They're used to being flamboyant and always have a good time when they go out."

He originally didn't want to talk about these things concerning his disciples, but now that the sect leader was pressing him for an explanation, he was afraid that if he didn't explain clearly, the matter would fall on his own shoulders.

The leader of the Cloud Radiance Sect Wu Xuanzi, gave him a cold look and gently shook his head.

Elder Kou was not an outstanding member of the sect.

They also acted flustered and incompetent when faced with such a situation.

He sighed inwardly, "If that old nun hadn't killed all the elites in my sect, we wouldn't have needed to put Elder Kou up to take charge of the sect's affairs."

He sighed inwardly, turned his head away from him, and said in a deep voice, "In this situation, why don't you quickly close the mountain gate and shut down Purple Cloud Mountain? Are you waiting for your enemies to kill all the disciples in the sect?"

Elder Kou quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away!"

Only then did he remember this matter, and his delay in reporting it had already caused him to miss the opportunity to fight. No wonder the sect leader Wu Xuanzi looked down on him.

Wu Xuanzi was also puzzled. "Yunfei and the other two went to the Thirty-Six Islands, while everyone else went to different places. Why did they all run into trouble? Were they attacked and killed on their way back to the mountain?"

He was startled and looked at the gentle moonlight, muttering to himself, "Could it be that old nun?"

However, he then shook his head. "No, that old nun is domineering and has a strange temper. If she were here, she would have already started a massacre. She would never act in secret."

"Ma Jun is heading to the Song Family Lineage, a small cultivation Lineage. The elder there is exhausted and his Qi and Blood is depleted. Although he is at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he is nearing the end of his life and will not amount to much."

"It seems something happened on the Thirty-Six Islands. The island lord of Golden Wind Island is a Rogue Person who kills and seizes islands. Perhaps he was unwilling to be humiliated, and this should be the work of him."

Wu Xuanzi, who was in charge of the Cloud Radiance Sect, quickly pieced together the general outline of the events.

"If it was him, then these bloody incidents were probably all ambush murders he carried out outside the mountain gate."

He narrowed his eyes. "The precision is remarkable. It seems to be the work of a master of Soul Searching Art. He may have already infiltrated the area."

He appeared calm and collected, ordering Elder Kou to close the mountain gate and activate the grand formation.

The Cloud Radiance Sect also possesses an extremely powerful array diagram, even stronger than the one Chen Wang used on Golden Wind Island.

At this moment, the entire Yunxia Mountain was in a state of complete encirclement and annihilation.

Outsiders cannot break in, and those inside cannot get out.

This array diagram is in Elder Kou's hands.

Wu Xuanzi summoned Elder Kou over, examined him carefully, and used his Divine Sense to investigate. He found that Elder Kou had no problems.

That makes sense; it's very difficult for a Foundation Establishment expert to be killed silently.

However, considering that person's methods, the three Foundation Establishment experts are probably already in grave danger.

He became even more wary, probing several times with his words and carefully observing Elder Kou, but found nothing wrong with him.

He then summoned several trusted disciples and examined the area again, but found no problems.

Only then did he activate a soundproof array and slowly reveal his calculations.

Upon hearing this, the group was shocked! "The island lord of Golden Wind Island is so ruthless and audacious, wanting to destroy our Cloud Radiance Sect!"

Elder Kou couldn't help but gasp.

Wu Xuanzi said calmly, "Leaving aside the disciples who were killed, just consider Ma Jun and the other two. Do you have the ability to kill all three of them?"

Elder Kou blushed after being rebuked, and shook his head. "My cultivation is only slightly higher than Yun Fei's, but he has that Golden Spirit Pearl, so I can't break through his defenses for a while."

He had been acting Cloud Radiance Sect, but after being reminded by the sect leader, his face flushed red and then broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ning Yunfei had the Golden Spirit Pearl, Elder Tian had the Demon Binding Rope, and although Ma Jun didn't have Spirit Artifact, his Five Luo Great Handprint was the most domineering, and he also had two disciples with him. Yet, not a single one of them survived."

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, muttering to himself, "Is the lord of Golden Wind Island really that powerful?"

"Could he be a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert?"

Several disciples were also somewhat alarmed by his words.

Wu Xuanzi sighed softly to himself.

"If he were a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert, he should have attacked the mountain gate directly by now. His current actions are clearly out of fear of me and the Supreme Elder."

"They want to weaken the power of my Cloud Radiance Sect first."

"Therefore, I conclude that he is a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator with special abilities. Be careful, he may have already changed his appearance and infiltrated the mountain gate. Go down and investigate carefully!"

Everyone was startled and agreed.

Wu Xuanzi said, "Elder Kou, hand over that array diagram to me."

Elder Kou quickly handed over the array diagram.

This mountain-guarding formation is extremely powerful; once activated, those inside cannot escape.

He handed it over, Wu Xuanzi checked it and, finding no problems, put it away.

He looked at the night sky and the disciples in the sect, and said softly, "Good methods, good schemes. Let's have a showdown and see if the righteous are one foot ahead, or the evil are ten feet ahead!"

He stood atop the high platform, coldly surveying the scene below.

At this moment, the disciples of the Cloud Radiance Sect were all gathered in a square.

Wu Xuanzi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

From the beginning, he had been paying attention to the movements inside the door, but he did not notice anyone taking advantage of the chaos to harm their fellow disciples.

His eyes gleamed in the darkness, making it impossible to look directly at him.

"There has been another change in the sect. A traitor has infiltrated. Everyone should be careful and vigilant about those around them."

Wu Xuanzi said coldly.
