Inside the Withered Cloud Sect.
There seemed to be nothing unusual.
Amidst swirling clouds and mist, mountains and water meet.
If the clouds and mist dissipate, this place will surely be a scene of green mountains and clear waters.
At this moment,
In a dark room inside the Withered Cloud Sect.
The scenery inside was completely different from the beautiful mountains and clear waters outside.
In the dark room, the stench of blood had materialized, appearing as droplets of blood, barely perceptible to the naked eye, floating in the air and forming Tuantuan of blood mist.
The dimly lit space was only illuminated by a few candles hanging on the walls.
Several voices echoed in the dark room.
" The Supervisory Sacred Hall has already noticed something."
"It's only a matter of time before they find out. What was their reaction after you handed over the scroll containing information about the sect?"
"There shouldn't be any problem. They haven't suspected me yet, but you guys need to take action as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, your reward will be substantial; it's all in this spatial ring."
A person completely concealed in a black robe extended a nearly withered hand, in which lay a ring.
Another elderly man took it, and after sensing what was inside the ring, his pupils were filled with excitement.
"For safety's sake, please don't contact us anymore. I'll get in touch if anything happens."
The old man nodded, and was just about to leave.
The entire darkroom shook violently!!!
The two figures swayed.
The old man looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "What happened?"
"This aura..." The man in black robes waved his hand and vanished from the spot.
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately followed.
When the two arrived outside, they discovered that there were hundreds of people standing in the sky above the Withered Cloud Sect!
Looking at their attire...
The old man's face immediately turned pale.
The man in black robes said in a deep voice, " The Supervisory Sacred Hall..."
However, when he saw the old man in a blue Daoist robe beside the Grand Elder of the Sacred Hall, his pupils under the black robe suddenly contracted.
Did you snitch on me?
The man in black robes looked at the old man.
The old man was speechless; he was trembling all over.
The fact that the Grand Elder of the Supervisory Sacred Hall personally came here already indicates that the affairs of the Withered Cloud Sect have long been exposed, so his own identity has probably already been discovered...
What will be the consequences?
Judging from the Sacred Hall's methods of dealing with rebels...
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't even utter a complete sentence; his entire body and internal Five Viscera were trembling!
"You think you can fool the Supervisory Sacred Hall with such a paltry trick? You're really underestimating the Sacred Hall!" the Grand Elder said coldly.
The man in black robes said in a deep voice, "Hide? What do we, the Withered Cloud Sect, need to hide from the Supervisory Sacred Hall?"
The Grand Elder remained silent, extending his hand and making a grasping motion in the air.
Instantly, a terrified, thin man on the ground was lifted into the air, his neck landing in the Grand Elder's hand.
The disciple of the Withered Cloud Sect cried out in alarm, "Sect Master, save me!"
However, before the man in black robes could react, a ray of golden light emanated from the Grand Elder's palm, first covering the neck of the Withered Cloud Sect disciple.
The moment the golden light touches the skin.
The neck of this Withered Cloud Sect disciple appeared as if it were being burned, with large patches of red showing on it!
The disciples of the Withered Cloud Sect screamed in agony.
The man in black robes... who was also the sect leader of the Withered Cloud Sect, shouted angrily, "Stop!"
The Grand Elder ignored him completely, letting the golden light cover the entire body of the Withered Cloud Sect disciple. He watched him scream in agony as his body was burned, black blood flowed from his seven orifices, and a wisp of foul black gas emanated from his body!
He said calmly, "This ray of golden light will not have any effect on a normal cultivator; it may even cleanse the impurities in their body. On the contrary... for Evil Cultivator, it will be an unbearable torture."
The moment the words left his mouth.
Under the horrified gazes of the Withered Cloud Sect disciples below.
The Withered Cloud Sect disciple in the hands of the Grand Elder was burned to ashes in the golden light.
"Now, what else do you have to explain? Or rather, take off that black robe?" The Grand Elder dusted off his hands and looked at the Sect Master of the Withered Cloud Sect indifferently.
Seeing this, the sect leader of the Withered Cloud Sect stopped pretending and took off his black robe and hat, revealing his withered face that seemed to have no muscles supporting it.
His face was covered with dark red blood spots, his eyes were sunken, and only a few dry, yellow hairs remained on his head.
Watching this scene unfold.
Ye Qiubai and the others were slightly surprised.
Ning Chenxin clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said, "It's a blood cultivator... He absorbs the Essence Blood and soul of cultivators to enhance his own strength. And judging from the color and number of these bloodstains, he has probably killed tens of thousands of people."
The Old Daoist Qingcheng glanced at Ning Chenxin and said, "Not bad, lad."
Tao Yi's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Isn't the Supervisory Sacred Hall being a bit too nosy?" The sect leader of the Withered Cloud Sect was not as flustered as expected; instead, his eyes were unusually calm.
The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "What, are you just going to let this bunch of inhuman, ghostly Evil Cultivator run rampant in the Fuyou Soaring Realm? If we can't even deal with you, how will the Supervisory Sacred Hall gain the respect of the people in the Soaring Realm in the future?"
The sect leader of the Withered Cloud Sect burst into wild laughter. "This world is ruled by the strong! The power of speech always lies in the hands of the strong, and history is written by the strong. What is right or wrong? Becoming stronger is the only right path!"
The Grand Elder wanted to say something more.
The Old Daoist Qingcheng said directly, "Why are you wasting your breath talking to these Evil Cultivator? Do you think you can persuade him to reform?"
"That's true." The Grand Elder nodded, "But before that..."
As he spoke, the elder looked at the old man.
The old man was none other than the outer elder of the Supervisory Sacred Hall.
The old man turned pale upon seeing this and immediately knelt in mid-air, saying, "Grand Elder, spare my life! I knew nothing of this, I just..."
But the Grand Elder had no patience to listen to the end, and he clenched his fist in the air towards the old man.
Just for a moment.
boom!
The old man's body exploded!
The soul was still trying to escape, but the Grand Elder directly put it into a brocade pouch.
"Alright." The Grand Elder put away the brocade pouch and waved his hand, saying, "Let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking...
The people Supervisory Sacred Hall behind the Grand Elder all headed towards the disciples of the Withered Cloud Sect below.
Tao Yi looked at Ye Qiubai and the others, and sneered, "What, you're too scared to make a move? These Evil Cultivator are all quite strong and ruthless. Don't wait until you're all gone!"
After saying that, Tao Yi glanced at the group with a mocking look, then rushed over with the main force.
Yang Shao patted Mu Fusheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, but you do need to be careful. Although they are disciples of a second-rate power, their opponents are all Evil Cultivator, and they probably have many tricks up their sleeves."
Meanwhile, the Old Daoist Qingcheng and the Grand Elder went directly to the opposite side of the Withered Cloud Sect Master.
The sect leader of the Withered Cloud Sect looked at the battle below with a grim expression and said, "If you really threaten to kill yourselves, the price you pay will be no small matter."
The Grand Elder looked at the elder of the Withered Cloud Sect and said calmly, "Even with me and the Old Daoist Qingcheng, unless you have a helper at the Nebula Realm, you will not escape death."
The sect leader of the Withered Cloud Sect chuckled evilly, "Is that so? Then guess why we haven't seen any of our Withered Cloud Sect elders?"
Rumble--!!!
A loud bang drew everyone's attention.
The faces of the Grand Elder and the Old Daoist Qingcheng changed one after the other.
Deep within the Withered Cloud Mountain, a blood-red giant appeared!
