Reencountering the Heavenly Evil Sect

Gu Changge was greatly alarmed at this moment, recognizing the identity of this human Cultivator—a disciple of the Heavenly Evil Sect.

He could recognize this person's identity thanks to the last time he was in the Cangyun Mountain Range and saved Li Xianhan, encountering three disciples of the Heavenly Evil Sect dressed in black cloud daoist robes.

The Heavenly Evil Sect was founded by the Heavenly Evil Emperor in the ancient era after obtaining the Heaven's Mandate and proving his Dao to become an Emperor. They acted wantonly and immorally. During the time the Heavenly Evil Emperor held the Heaven's Mandate, it could be said to be a nightmare for the Myriad Worlds. Apart from the Imperial Lineage powers, which had the protection of legacies left by Emperors, other small sects and factions suffered greatly.

In the Epoch after the Heavenly Evil Emperor, people were extremely repulsed by the Heavenly Evil Sect, cursing them everywhere. In the several Epochs following the Heavenly Evil Emperor, generation after generation of Emperors searched for the remnants of the Heavenly Evil Sect and annihilated all their disciples.

He never expected that after several Epochs, perhaps because no one had paid attention to the Heavenly Evil Sect, they had actually made a comeback and reappeared.

"I didn't expect to run into someone from the Heavenly Evil Sect here."

Gu Changge whispered.

Just then, the System's prompt sounded again.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for triggering a random quest: Eliminate Heavenly Evil Sect Remnants (0/1)"

"Since that's the case, then I can only act on behalf of Heaven today."

Gu Changge's eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke.

"I can't see through this Heavenly Evil Sect disciple's realm. It seems he has at least the strength of the Skin Scraping Realm."

Gu Changge thought to himself.

He saw this Heavenly Evil Sect disciple take out a top-grade Heavenly rank spiritual sword and easily slay two forest tigers. He extracted their demon cores, took their bodies, and placed them in his storage bag.

"Good opportunity."

Seeing this, Gu Changge immediately took out the Azure Rainbow Sword, ran out from the hidden bushes, and slashed towards the Heavenly Evil Sect disciple.

"Who goes there!"

The Heavenly Evil Sect disciple was greatly alarmed, not expecting someone to suddenly appear and attack him while he was collecting spoils.

"The one who's here to kill you!"

Gu Changge said, instantly activating the Primordial Supreme Body, converting the spiritual energy within him into vast Primordial Qi, condensing it onto the Azure Rainbow Sword, and unleashing a sword strike.

"So strong. This kid is only at the first level of the Tendon Lengthening Realm, how can he unleash such a powerful pressure?"

The Heavenly Evil Sect disciple exclaimed in his heart.

"This power is probably enough to rival my strength at the third level of the Skin Scraping Realm."

The Heavenly Evil Sect disciple quickly drew his spiritual sword and blocked Gu Changge's attack.

"How dare you! I am an inner disciple of the Heavenly Evil Sect. Who are you to dare offend this venerable one?"

The Heavenly Evil Sect disciple said.

"Hmph, just a street rat, and you dare to be so arrogant?"

Gu Changge did not answer him, saying disdainfully.

"Qianyuan Emperor Seal!"

Gu Changge stopped wasting words, formed hand seals, mobilized the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and unleashed a move.

"Heavenly Evil Defense Technique!"

The Heavenly Evil Sect disciple also formed hand seals, blocking Gu Changge's attack.

Seeing that he couldn't win quickly, Gu Changge directly released three Dragon Flame Puppets, two Purple Gold Puppets, and one Mysterious Silver Puppet. They all possessed the strength of the third level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm and had considerable power.

As soon as the six Puppets appeared, their powerful aura pressed down on the Heavenly Evil Sect disciple, making him unable to breathe.

"So strong, the strength of these six Puppets is far beyond mine."

The Heavenly Evil Sect disciple said.

"Of course, these six Puppets of mine are all at the third level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

Gu Changge said.

Seeing himself cornered, the Heavenly Evil Sect disciple said, "If you kill me, you will bear the Heavenly Evil Mark. If any of my fellow disciples from the Heavenly Evil Sect see it, they will surely kill you to avenge me!"

"Then that's perfect. I'll kill every last remnant of the Heavenly Evil Sect I see."

Gu Changge said calmly, then gave the Heavenly Evil Sect disciple no more chance to speak. He ordered the six Puppets to swarm forward and restrain him, then unleashed the Qianyuan Emperor Seal, directly obliterating him.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing the random quest: Eliminate Heavenly Evil Sect Remnants (1/1), reward: 300 System Points."

The System's prompt sounded.

After this Heavenly Evil Sect disciple was obliterated by Gu Changge, a mass of black-gray spiritual energy emerged from his corpse and, with lightning speed, drilled into Gu Changge's body. A strangely shaped black-gray mark faintly appeared on his forehead, which was precisely the Heavenly Evil Mark.

This was an Emperor-rank secret technique, the Heavenly Evil Mark, which only inner disciples and Elders of the Heavenly Evil Sect could cultivate. Upon being killed by an enemy, it would mobilize the remaining spiritual energy of the user and condense it into the Heavenly Evil Mark, embedding it into the enemy's body.

Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Evil Mark would not appear on the Host's forehead unless he encountered a disciple of the Heavenly Evil Sect, at which point it would manifest.

"Ding, detected unknown energy invading the Host. Do you wish to spend System Points to eliminate it? (Yes/No)."

"No."

Gu Changge said. He still needed to use this Heavenly Evil Mark to lure out bigger fish and thoroughly eliminate the Heavenly Evil Sect remnants.

After killing this Heavenly Evil Sect disciple, Gu Changge ran to his corpse and searched everywhere. Finally, he found the storage bag.

"I didn't expect this guy to be quite wealthy," Gu Changge muttered.

Inside the Heavenly Evil Sect disciple's storage bag, there were about two thousand Spirit Stones, several top-grade Heavenly Spirit Artifacts, over a dozen top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pills, a low-rank Emperor Grade spirit plant, the Fire Sun Spirit Flower, and another low-rank Emperor Grade spirit plant, the Snow Jade Bone Ginseng.

Besides these, there were also some miscellaneous, less valuable spirit materials and spirit ingredients.

Gu Changge transplanted the Fire Sun Spirit Flower and the Snow Jade Bone Ginseng into his own storage bag, and then placed the approximately two thousand Spirit Stones into his storage bag.

As for the other miscellaneous spirit materials and spirit ingredients, as well as the low-quality Spirit Artifacts and Spirit Pills that were useless to Gu Changge, he sold them all to the System, receiving a total of 300 System Points.

After eliminating the Heavenly Evil Sect disciple, Gu Changge continued searching on this mountain peak for the task assigned by the academy: the Vajra Ape.

"It seems there are no Vajra Apes on this mountain peak. I'll have to try another one," Gu Changge said to himself.

Thus, Gu Changge moved to a different mountain peak and continued his search for the Vajra Ape.

Finally, Gu Changge discovered a group of Vajra Apes halfway up a mountain peak in the Tianyuan Mountain Range.

"This group of Vajra Apes should be guarding a spirit herb," Gu Changge said.

He observed that the group of Vajra Apes was located in a cave halfway up the mountain peak, numbering about a dozen individuals, all pacing back and forth at the cave entrance.

Gu Changge sensed the aura of these Vajra Apes.

"So, they're just a group of Demonic Beasts at the third or fourth level of the Tendon Lengthening Realm."

With that, Gu Changge decided to drop his disguise and strode directly into the cave.

"Roar!"

The Vajra Apes roared as they saw the unfamiliar Cultivator.
