"The Mortal Domain... Has Gone Mad."
Chen Fan looked at the Eerie Fire that had already been prepared and placed on the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, and lit it.
The Crippled Monkey sat in the driver's seat.
They didn't talk much.
"Shelf!"
The Monkey One the reins.
Nine Flame Dragon Horse, their steps perfectly synchronized, silently charged into the Eternal Night of the Canyon as one!
With each hoof strike.
Each wave would create a scorching ripple on the ground, burning away the darkness in its path.
Extremely fast!
Charge into the Eternal Night!
Sitting in the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, Chen Fan looked at the Ghosthide Map in his hand. He could clearly see an Eerie Fire moving rapidly, quickly approaching Northbank City from the Nameless Mountain. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
If there are still people awake at this hour.
I happened to be looking at the Ghosthide Map.
Seeing this scene would definitely be surprising.
Just then, a "Roar!"
The roars of the Strange Entities echoed faintly in his ears. He pulled back the curtains and looked out the window. A large number of Strange Entities rushed towards the Horse-Drawn Carriage from the darkness, but... they all missed their target and could not keep up with the speed of the Dragon Chariot.
"The Rainy Season is over, are there still so many Strange Entities in the Eternal Night?"
He seemed to be deep in thought.
Although it didn't form Strange Tide, the number of them was quite large.
"Boom!"
A pale, eerie claw grabbed the window frame. He saw a pair of unsettling eyes with white pupils. Just then, a Strange Entities moved with incredible speed, grabbed the window frame, and hung outside the Horse-Drawn Carriage.
The next moment!
A flash of moon-white light appeared, and the Strange Entities, in pain, released its claws and disappeared into the night.
Zhou Mo coughed lightly and silently sheathed his sword; his skill in the Water-Cutting Saber Art was getting better and better.
They are still safe.
But the most dangerous thing was the Crippled Monkey sitting outside the carriage, exposed to the air with no protection from the carriage. After dealing with this Strange Entities, Zhou Mo quickly took his knife and went out of the carriage to guard the Crippled Monkey.
He doesn't need to kill the Strange Entities.
All you need to do is forcefully slap away the oncoming Strange Entities to deflect them. There aren't many of them; most are trampled underfoot by the Flame Dragon Horse.
Daylight broke.
At the moment of dawn.
Chen Fan has already crossed the river.
The bridges across the river were all occupied by several major powers, and Caravan and vehicles were charged tolls. He didn't cross the bridges. To be more discreet, he flew directly through the air, leaped across the Great River, and entered Jiangnan. He extinguished the Eerie Fire to avoid being discovered by the Pill Sect.
"This is Jiangnan..."
In the instant of crossing the Great River.
The Crippled Monkey, sitting in the driver's seat of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot carriage, had a look of shock in his eyes. This was his first time in Jiangnan. The plains were no longer Wasteland lands, but looked extremely prosperous.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot was speeding across the plains.
Their target was the Pill Sect.
Approaching at full speed.
Finally-
In the morning, the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot finally arrived near the Pill Sect City. The area was full of Caravan, and many pedestrians stared at the Horse-Drawn Carriage they had never seen before, stunned and wondering which faction it belonged to.
Chen Fan firmly believes in one sentence.
Every plan has flaws.
Even the most perfect plan has its flaws.
However, if the speed is fast enough, although there will still be many loopholes, that also means that the opponent will have even more loopholes.
"Arrive."
Chen Fan drew back the curtains and looked at the small City with level Level-3 City Wall not far away. The City Wall were engraved with the words "Pill Sect" with different Vein Patterns, not all of Vein Patterns were the same.
The Caravan nearby were heading to a City whose gates were wide open.
The gates of this small town were not open.
She appears arrogant and aloof.
The next moment!
Under the watchful eyes of all the Trade Association and passersby, the "Mortal Domain" banner at the end of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot rose into the wind and flew into the air above the Pill Sect City.
Before anyone could react, something had happened.
All I saw was...
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot above Pill Sect City began to change continuously, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a "Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard", standing like a cup lid above Pill Sect City, casting a huge shadow over Pill Sect City.
Immediately afterwards!
"Boom!!"
At one node of the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard, a Level-5 Cannon Tower began to roar, and a Blazing White Beam, like lightning, struck a Stone House in Pill Sect City, sending stone bricks flying.
There was no announcement.
There is no threat.
Like a harbinger of Storm, hundreds of these Blazing White Beam ripped through the sky, falling like Heavenly Punishment and beginning to indiscriminately and devastatingly strike all the buildings within the Pill Sect City.
"Boom boom boom!!"
That was the sound of the ground shaking, and countless horses outside the city were startled and ran about.
The massacre began without warning in absolute silence.
This seemingly indiscriminate bombing.
In reality, he is meticulous despite his rough exterior.
Prioritize areas within the City that appear to be high-end buildings.
A faint scream echoed within the Pill Sect City, its sound barely audible amidst the deafening bombardment.
And at this time -
A beam of light that enveloped the entire Pill Sect finally rose, this was the City-Protecting Formation, which blocked all the Golden Light Pillar attacks.
The Elderly Man's voice, filled with exasperation and a hint of fear, rang out throughout the city, echoing in all directions.
"Who goes there!"
Why attack the Pill Sect without provocation?
Inside the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, Chen Fan rummaged through his pockets and pulled out an Exotic Treasure presented by the Wang Family Head. His voice echoed throughout the entire Pill Sect City Nine-Five Dragon Chariot.
"Chen Fan of the Mortal Domain."
"You said yesterday you wanted to play with me slowly, have you forgotten? I'm here, here to play with you."
"The Mortal Domain? Is it the Mortal Sect?!"
"That's right, it's been renamed."
"Very well, very well." Clearly, the Elderly Man's voice from within the Pill Sect City was even more exasperated. "You dare to provoke the Pill Sect, that's quite a tactic, but I imagine this method consumes a lot of Eerie Stone, how long can you sustain it?"
The next moment -
Seven level Level-6 Cannon Tower on the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard.
They unleashed their power simultaneously.
The Brown-Black Golden Light Pillar blasted towards the City-Protecting Formation. With just one volley, the City-Protecting Formation was already on the verge of collapse. After three volleys, the City-Protecting Formation shattered completely.
Hundreds of Golden Light Pillar, like gods and demons destroying the world, once again began an indiscriminate sweeping attack on every corner of Pill Sect City.
At the same time.
Chen Fan's soft laughter echoed from the air.
"It does consume quite a few Eerie Stone, but didn't your Pill Sect Young Master give me 10,100 Eerie Stone as Congratulatory Gift yesterday? That's enough."
"Damn it, damn it!!"
The Elderly Man the Pill Sect kept shouting in frustration within the City, but his voice was filled with increasing fear. They were powerless to retaliate and could only passively take the beating.
The City-Protecting Formation has also been destroyed.
Their only hope was to wait for the enemy to run out of Eerie Stone, but now it seems the enemy shows no signs of weakening.
"Surrender!!"
Hiding within the inner hall, the Elderly Man of the Pill Sect, his eyes bloodshot, stared at the collapsing buildings and disciples reduced to dust within the city. Suppressing his rage, he roared, "We are willing to surrender to the Mortal Sect —no, to the Mortal Domain! Cease your attack! Let's sit down and talk!"
"The Eerie Stone are being consumed rather quickly."
On the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, King Mazi said urgently, "Should we pretend to accept their surrender first, ask them for some Eerie Stone, and then continue?"
"Need not."
Chen Fan glanced at the rapidly depleting Eerie Stone in the corner of the carriage; only about 7,000 remained. Without much thought, he shook his head in rejection. "We can't give them a chance to breathe. This amount of Eerie Stone is enough."
"As well as--"
"We will definitely try to win them over in the future. We'll feign acceptance and then launch an attack. That way, no one will surrender to us anymore. We'll fight to the death against all the enemies we encounter. We need to leave at least one possibility for other future powers to surrender."
Above the nine heavens.
No sound came from the room.
Only relentless Golden Light Pillar continued to fall like Heavenly Punishment, destroying the entire Pill Sect City.
Damn it!
A flicker of despair flashed in the Elderly Man's Pill Sect. He knew clearly that he was doomed. His opponent had used a method he couldn't understand at all—how could they fly in the sky?
Why can it fly?!
This was the first time he had ever regretted rejecting the Third Elder's suggestion that an escape route should have been built. He had previously thought that the Pill Sect would never fall, and that building such a route would be a complete waste of resources.
The next moment!
A beam of Dark Brown Beam blasted through the inner hall, its abdomen pierced, and it fell into the ruins in the distance.
With great difficulty, he pulled a Feign-Death Pill from his pocket and swallowed it. He quickly stopped breathing. As long as he could live, he... he still had a chance to the Rise-Again Clan.
It lasted for the time it takes for Incense Stick to burn.
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot descended from the sky, nearly exhausted of the Eerie Stone it carried.
They blasted a breach in the City Wall, and the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot landed near the breach.
Chen Fan jumped down from the Horse-Drawn Carriage and tossed the Jadeite Ring into Zhou Mo's arms. "This Exotic Treasure can make you sense killing intent. I'll stay outside the city and wait for you. You take your men and bring out all the valuables in the city."
"Clear."
Zhou Mo nodded solemnly, slipped the ring onto his Thumbs-Up, and led the group, including Crippled Monkey, into the ruins of Pill Sect City.
At a glance.
Not a single intact building can be seen.
They bombarded the area for the time it takes for Incense Stick to burn. Not long after, the Elderly Man from the Pill Sect stopped speaking. But for safety's sake, they used up almost all of the General Strange stones.
After all, their individual Cultivation are relatively weak.
If someone survived and ambushed them while they were searching the ruins, it could easily lead to trouble.
In this situation, even if someone isn't dead, they're definitely half-dead.
When the Caravan of various forces around the Pill Sect saw this scene, everyone froze on the spot until the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot landed on the ground, and the flag representing the Mortal Domain fluttered in the wind in front of the ruins of the Pill Sect.
The group then came to their senses, took out Message Talisman from their pockets, and quickly relayed the message.
"The Mortal Domain... has gone mad."
"Which power is the Mortal Domain?"
"That Mortal Sect from yesterday, they've gone even crazier, they... massacred the entire city of the Pill Sect."
What does "massacre of a city" mean?
"Literal meaning."
If.
The Slaying the Wraith King drew the attention of Southern Region Jiangbei the factions in Jiangbei, who learned of the rise of a new power in Jiangbei Rainy Season.
The Slaying the Pill Sect Young Master made most of the forces in Jiangnan aware that a very arrogant force had emerged in Jiangbei.
Today, however, the entire Pill Sect is being slaughtered.
This made almost all the forces in Jiangnan aware that a powerful and arrogant force had emerged in Jiangbei.
"Careful!"
Inside the ruins of the Pill Sect, Zhou Mo, wielding Great Knife, warily pulled out a corpse from beneath the rubble and chopped it into eighteen pieces before hoarsely saying, "The Domain Lord received information from the young master of Medicine King Valley that the Pill Sect possesses a Pills called the 'Feign-Death Pill'."
"It can induce a state of suspended animation after ingestion, and the patient will revive once the effects wear off."
"Any corpse seen must be cut into eighteen pieces; even if he ate the Earthworm Pill, he won't come back to life."
The group made their way through the ruins, approaching the buildings that appeared to be of importance.
"Here it is..."
Zhou Mo glanced at the sign in the ruins, a glint of light in his eyes. "Treasure Vault. Follow me in; there might be traps. I'll go first."
He took out a small, delicate elixir bottle from his pocket and put it in his mouth; it contained the Holy Water from the Altar that he had brought with him when he left home.
"There's an old man's body here; his chest was pierced through."
After carefully examining the Godslaying Spear, the monkey stabbed it a dozen more times. Still not entirely reassured, he stabbed the neck dozens of times, completely separating the head from the body. He refused to believe the person could survive under such circumstances.
"This old man's clothes are unusual; he might have something valuable on him."
"Hey, it's the sect leader's order!"
"These things around my neck and on my hands all look like valuable items, like Exotic Treasure. I'll take them all."
There's a medicinal herb garden over there.
At this moment, the Big Fish searching outside the Treasure Pavilion pointed to a ruin. "There are many medicinal herbs growing inside, and it seems there are also Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
"Take him away, take him away!"
Zhou Mo said excitedly, "I'll take them all with me."
"Um... these medicinal herbs are stored in different environments, right? Wouldn't pulling them out rashly cause them to die instantly?"
"You wait here, I'll go ask the Domain Lord."
Chen Fan maneuvered the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and landed in the ruins of Pill Sect City. He strode towards the medicinal herb garden, his brows slightly furrowed. He could see the panels on the panels and knew how to transplant the Exotic Plant and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
But he couldn't understand these medicinal herbs.
It's okay, though.
He has friends who understand.
Immediately afterwards.
He took out the Message Talisman left to him by the "Young Master of Medicine King Valley" from his pocket. The Message Talisman would go through the Medicine King Valley transit station to contact the Young Master of Medicine King Valley. As soon as the contact was established, he spoke immediately without delay.
"Young Master Qi, I need to trouble you with something. There's a medicinal herb that looks like foxtail grass, but it's reddish. Do you know what it is?"
"Are the petals as red as blood?"
"That's right."
"It's the Blood-crying Grass, the main ingredient for Cultivation Pills. Did you find a wild one in the Nameless Mountain? It's worth quite a few Eerie Stone."
How to transplant?
"Just pull it up by the roots, but you must use a leaf to block the rootstock to prevent the medicine from leaking out."
"There's another kind, which looks like a tree root, and you can faintly hear a heartbeat."
"Earth-vein Spirit Root require the rootstock to be completely covered with surrounding Soil during transplantation. The soil must be from nearby areas; Soil from other places won't work. These are very valuable."
"There's another type, a fern, where a drop of liquid gathers at the tip of its leaf, and it's very difficult to shake it off."
"This is Starry Tears. You mustn't shake it off, or it will lose its value. Transplanting requires careful digging of the roots. Its roots are very long, so you need to dig out the soil within three feet around it as well. This is also very valuable."
"There's another one..."
"Etc."
Qi Feng, on the other end of the Message Talisman, interrupted him. After a long silence, a somewhat bewildered voice came from the other side. "Can you tell me, are you still on Nameless Mountain?"
"Not here."
"Where are you now?"
"In the medicinal herb garden of the Pill Sect."
