Legend

The two men lay on the ground, their eyes open, now two corpses.

The two men who were just swaggering around are now dead.

Not far away, the Western Divine Pillar emitted a strange humming sound.

Chapter 62 Legend

Originally, Protector Cheng and Commandant Feng had a well-thought-out plan. They joined forces to kill Qiaoqiao, and the collapse of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was a perfect excuse to solidify her crime of colluding with the Demon Realm.

Once a person is dead, how can they defend themselves?

The combined words of all the other disciples couldn't out-argue her. With her dead, everything would be much easier.

In this way, the Flowing Cloud Sect will also be implicated. They just gained a good reputation through the sect competition, but as soon as they are involved with the Demon Realm, their reputation will be ruined, and they will not be able to stand in the Cultivation World in the future.

Commandant Feng had even prepared the lines for his frame-up, but he never imagined that before he could react, this sword would take his life.

With the deaths of Commandant Feng and Protector Cheng, the elders who had come with them were terrified. They hadn't even seen who had struck with that sword; there were too many Demon Race present, a dense, thronging crowd, making it impossible to determine who had made the move.

Since the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was erected, the Human Race no longer regarded the Demon Race as a threat. Lacking understanding of the Demon Race, they still doubted whether the Demon Race possessed such excellent swordsmanship.

Never heard of it?

But to kill two Mahayana Stage experts with a single sword strike was truly terrifying and sent chills down one's spine!

Although these two have recently been affected by a series of events, causing their State of Mind to be unstable and their cultivation level to regress somewhat, they were still powerful beings who had once reached the Mahayana Realm. To kill two of them with a single sword strike before they could even react—what extraordinary skill that was!

Moreover, the murderous aura emanating from this sword strike was so intense that it stunned everyone.

Slaughter Sword Intent.

That legendary ultimate sword intent, an unparalleled killing sword!

They were no match for them; they could only tremble in fear.

Even if the Immortal Venerable Wanghan were to come, he might not be able to defeat him, right?

The elders exchanged glances, and were just about to slip away when they suddenly heard a strange buzzing sound coming from the Divine Pillar beside them.

The sound seemed to descend from the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

"The Divine Pillar..."

"The Divine Pillar is resounding!"

"What's that sound? Could it be an oracle about to be delivered?!"

Everyone present was in an uproar. For all beings in the three realms, the Divine Pillar supporting heaven and earth held an equally sacred status. All three races believed that the Divine Pillar connected to the heavens and could convey divine pronouncements.

But no one has ever heard of the true oracle.

While everyone was watching the Divine Pillar, the disciples of Ethereal Peak were all staring at Bai Fu in astonishment. The incompetent elders couldn't tell who had made the move, but they knew very well who it was. Only their master had the ability to kill those two people with a single sword strike.

They deserved to die for ambushing their junior sister, but the Slaughter Sword Intent.

How is that possible!

My master has already cultivated his Guardian Sword Intent to a state of perfection; how could he possibly cultivate the Slaughter Sword Dao?

Those who enter the Slaughter Sword Dao lose their moral compass, become cruel and bloodthirsty, and disregard even their own family. In the end, no one who cultivates this path escapes being controlled by slaughter, ultimately killing themselves, resulting in a tragic end.

How could Master...

Is Master also destined for an unsolvable cycle of killing, losing his sanity?

They couldn't believe it.

Despite the disciples' surprised and uncertain gazes, Bai Fu remained calm, his brow furrowed slightly as he kept a close eye on Qiaoqiao.

Xiao Tingyu followed his gaze and opened her mouth slightly in surprise once again.

She saw a line of text above her junior sister's head: [Qiaoqiao, Darkening Value 75].

What is this?!

She was certain she wasn't mistaken; the text appeared after the two men had died!

But the master killed him, so what does that have to do with the junior sister?

"Junior Sister..."

She had barely opened her mouth when Qiaoqiao covered her head, "It's so noisy."

While others heard the hum of the Divine Pillar, Qiaoqiao heard—

"Come."

"Come quickly..."

"Come find me..."

The sound kept playing in her head, driving her crazy.

The humming of the Divine Pillar continued unabated. The crowd went from initial excitement and surprise to doubt and fear. More and more cultivators arrived at the scene, only to freeze in place.

No one even noticed the two corpses lying on the ground; the sound of the Divine Pillar had stolen everyone's attention.

What exactly is that sound?

Why does it feel like the Divine Pillar is shaking?

"No, you must be imagining things!"

"It's Demon God!"

"Bullshit! What Demon God? Are you from the Glazed Sea?"

"The Demon God said that the Divine Pillar will soon collapse, and the end of the world is coming!!" a cultivator shouted.

This man was immediately attacked by the group. "Pavilion Master Song said, the Divine Pillar cannot collapse!"

"Stop spouting nonsense! Have you been brainwashed by those Ear-Eating Beast? The Divine Pillar can still stand for a thousand years!"

"That's right, even if you die, the Divine Pillar won't collapse!"

"If the Divine Pillar collapses, I'll perform a handstand while eating shit right here and now!"

As the cultivator's powerful voice rang out, the earth suddenly shook violently.

All the noise stopped.

The scene was deathly silent.

The humans and demons stared blankly up at the Divine Pillar in the clouds, as if witnessing a scene they could never believe in their lives.

Until someone speaks --

"Did the Divine Pillar shake just now?"

"Hmm, it seems so..."

Someone replied, their voice trembling.

Just as the last syllable of those words faded, the earth shook even more violently, causing everyone to lose their footing. The Divine Pillar's hum grew louder, and the shaking intensified.
