Purging the sect, vanquishing demons after sixty years

"To disband the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Bai Mei was only slightly taken aback when she heard this.

Ruoyun, who was beside her, also looked surprised.

In recent days, the Holy Church has basically taken over Chongxu. Although Yarrow is always clashing with them, it is after all just a branch of the Azure Cloud Sect.

She needed to call on people from higher up, but in reality, she could only rely on her own connections to get some close associates to help.

But the Holy Church is different.

The Holy Church now has the support of Jiang Si's younger sister, Jiang Keke. Jiang Keke is considered a regular member of the Holy Church. When there was a conflict with Hogwarts before, the Holy Church was Keke to suppress Hogwarts thanks to Keke.

If Keke be controlled anymore, Ruoyun can still use some methods to call Jiang Si.

Jiang Si is self-evident; no further explanation is needed. He doesn't even need to lift a finger. Just a few words are enough to make those arrogant and haughty disciples of Hogwarts obediently follow his lead.

After Tiana and Jiegeng were punished and unable to come to Chongxu, they now only have Yarrow left, which is not enough to support them alone.

In the last conflict, Prince Itaen used the Void Mirror to fight back, but he was only slightly outmatched. However, the Holy Church had a large number of personnel, and with the generous reward, many teams worked together.

Moreover, Ruoyun had forged a new Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon according to Jiang Si's requirements.

The Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar.

It can devour all magic and seal it away.

Specifically designed to deal with the True Disciple like Yarrow who relies on multiple magics, Ruoyun doesn't even need to seal too many magics.

It simply disables the Restoration to the Original State, and then uses the Void Mirror to drag things around in turn. That's right, the Void Mirror of the Holy Church has already begun mass production.

Ultimately, it all uses the technology of the Land of Mirrors. With the Prince's help, mass production is not impossible. However, the exchange points are already sky-high, and no one can afford to exchange them. Fortunately, the points borrowed are not too outrageous.

Once the Yarrow is banned Restoration to the Original State, its magical power is actually not as exaggerated as it seems.

It lacked staying power.

As time went on, the Yarrow had no choice but to give way.

As a result, the Holy Church developed smoothly and has now become the number one organization in the entire Chongxu.

Of course, if that were all, Ruoyun wouldn't have the face to come to Teacher Bai Mei in person.

During this time, under Shion's orders, Ruoyun wiped out the remaining Witch Association.

Jialan and the others were directly imprisoned in the Holy Church. Apart from the fact that the Witch Association leader, who had close ties with Keke and Jiang Si, could not be found, Jialan kept claiming that she was dead, which eventually made Ruoyun give up the search.

Now, the Witch Association been completely eradicated under her control. Ruoyun has found all the laboratories, related personnel, and even the smallest colluders, all thanks to the documents from the Witch Association headquarters.

Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who deserve to be imprisoned should be imprisoned.

After personally blowing the last damned member of the Witch Association in the head, Ruoyun was usually quite clear-headed, surprisingly bought a very expensive little cake—she never bought luxury goods for herself.

Ruoyun had just cut two slices of cake for her parents in heaven and placed them on the table when she saw Hyacinth, who had come uninvited to freeload, so she cut another slice for her.

After Ruoyun finished paying respects to her parents, all the cake was enjoyed by the two magical girls.

After finishing the cake, Ruoyun, whose cultivation level had been stuck at the Peak Full Blossom Realm for a long time, even after exchanging for the World Bubble that Jiang Si had found in the Holy Church, was still unable to advance any further.

His magical energy surged and surged, leaping two major levels in one go to reach the Branching Peak Great Perfection Realm. This brought a long-lost gentle smile to Hyacinth's Hyacinth.

Although the magical girl from the Branching Realm is still no match for the current true disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.

But for Ruoyun, she already had the confidence and strength to face her teacher.

So she spent the last few days preparing, even rehearsing with Hyacinth for a long time, before she finally mentally prepared herself and found her teacher who was still in South China.

I intend to tell my teacher everything I've done, thought, and felt these past few days.

The obsession has subsided, and the Holy Church is now stable.

Ruoyun also longed to return to her teacher's tutelage, to reunite with Shuiling and Qian Jing, and to resume their former teacher-student life.

She still respected her teacher and missed her friend. Although she couldn't remember who her teacher's fourth student was, she still missed him a little.

If Jiang Si had no other mission requirements, Ruoyun would rather stay by her teacher's side than in the Holy Church.

However, if Jiang Si needed anything, she would naturally have to abandon these teacher-student relationships and go back to complete Jiang Si's task first.

After all, the good fortune and help she received along the way made Jiang Si seem like a second parent to her.

In Ruoyun's heart, he was already slightly above her teacher.

Now I've come back to see my teacher, partly to take advantage of the holiday and see if I can go back to Jiangming with him and reminisce about our past life.

On the other hand, they wanted to use their achievements and results to seek recognition from their teachers and to truly graduate.

However, many words were about to be spoken, but were ultimately interrupted.

The sound emanating from the ice crystals unfolding around Bai Mei immediately diverted Bai Mei's attention from her.

Even the emotions that Ruoyun had cultivated were shattered.

What happened? I was just thinking of going back to the Azure Cloud family to visit.

Why did they disband? Am I really that unlucky?

Who said that?

Bai Mei's tone was not agitated; in fact, it could be described as calm.

Ruoyun believed that it was only Winter Lord, or the other true disciples, who were causing trouble.

The teacher will surely draw his sword and wipe everything out.

At this moment, although her tone was calm, Bai Mei's aura was expanding uncontrollably step by step.

That terrifying, Righteous Sword Qi was like gunpowder that had been accumulating.

It looked like it could blow everything to smithereens at any moment!

"It's your master."

However, the voice from the other side instantly deflated the escalating tension.

The unstoppable sword intent seemed to have encountered something incredibly hard, and it didn't just lose its momentum.

It looked as if it were about to break.

He was forcibly pressed down!

Seeing the blood trickling from the teacher's lips, Ruoyun instinctively reached out and wiped the crimson from her mouth.

Then, almost instinctively, he put it to his lips—wanting to taste the ketchup.

However, it didn't taste like ketchup.

It has a slightly sweet and fishy taste.

That was real blood.

The two were sitting on a small boat in the middle of the lake. Ripples spread across the gently rocking water, and another drop of blood rippled across the surface.

Ruoyun panicked and sat down next to Bai Mei, "Teacher----"

I don't have a student named you.

He wasn't angry, nor did he harbor any resentment; he spoke calmly, as if discussing an ordinary matter, yet it stung Ruoyun's heart.

She always assumed that the teacher would be lenient and forgiving towards her.

Looking back now...

On what grounds?

Bai Mei interrupted Ruoyun's concern with a single sentence before continuing to look at Bingjing.

"Didn't you try to persuade your master?"

"Bai Mei."

Bingtang's voice was as gentle as ever, but now it sounded a little tired.

"Don't forget how the Azure Cloud Sect came to be, and don't forget the promise I made with your master."

Bai Mei pursed her lips, and a little bit of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth again.

Besides Bingtang and the sect leader, only she, the chief disciple, knew about what happened when the Azure Cloud Sect was first established.

If the sect leader wants to disband the Azure Cloud Sect, Bingtang will absolutely not stop him.

"Then, then----"

Bai Mei's voice finally broke into a rare stutter.

It was a sense of unease and panic she had never felt since she picked up the sword. "Is this it? Is it over?"

Ruoyun, who was standing next to her, also became nervous.

"I can't stop your master, you know that. From day one, I've told him that I'm just his little follower, and I'll do whatever he wants. But you've all grown up now."

"I can't control you anymore," said Bingtang softly.

Bai Mei was stunned for a moment, and the small boat calmed down. "Lord Bingtang Tang----"

The tone was slightly hurried, but before Bai Mei could finish speaking, the other person interrupted her, "I'm leaving with your master first. The affairs of the Azure Cloud Sect are up to you. Take care of the others, Bai Mei."

"Sister Bingtang!"

The small boat rocked violently, and Bai Mei stood up abruptly.

However, the ice crystal had shattered, and that gentle voice and appearance had vanished completely.

The small boat suddenly exploded into pieces, and the lake water beneath their feet was also suddenly split open!

Bai Mei strode towards the edge of the lake, with Ruoyun following behind, muttering something to herself.

But then, Teacher Bai Mei suddenly turned her head, her tightly closed eyes seeming to radiate a sharp, sword-like aura, aimed directly at her throat.

"Don't follow me!"

This was the first time she had seen her teacher so agitated and out of control, and she was momentarily at a loss for words. "The Azure Cloud Sect is so large, it won't disband—"

I had intended to offer comfort, but this sentence must have struck a nerve with the teacher, causing her to suddenly become incredibly cold.

What do you know?

The aggressive question made Ruoyun instinctively take a step back.

Bai Mei seemed to finally calm down only after she almost plopped down on the grass by the lake.

The sharpness and impatience had faded somewhat, and she had finally returned to the teacher that Ruoyun knew.

A swordsman who always seemed calm, composed, and fearless.

The chirping of insects echoed from the silent lakeside, and the chilling sword energy that had been aimed straight at the throat slowly receded.

This is none of your business.

Bai Mei took a deep breath and casually tossed her a token. "If you miss Qian Jing and Shuiling, take this token and go see them. They're currently at Jiangming's Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. The Jiangming Disaster Countermeasures Bureau recently merged with the Azure Cloud Sect, and the three of them are together every day."

After saying a few casual words, Bai Mei decided to ignore her and turned to leave.

Ruoyun took two more steps after her, "Teacher, teacher, I am a member of the Holy Church, and Jiang Si is the Lord of the Holy Church. I can go back and ask her for you. There might be other hidden details in this matter—"

"I already said it has nothing to do with you. If you take another step, we will not only cease to be master and disciple, but we will become enemies."

These words finally made Ruoyun stop in her tracks.

Some of the harsh words made Ruoyun's eyes redden slightly, but she still took a breath, knelt down, and kowtowed vigorously to Bai Mei who was leaving.

"You have always been my teacher. To me, Teacher Bai Mei is like a mother. Ruoyun will never forget you, never!"

Bai Mei finally paused briefly, but ultimately did not turn back.

Even the Azure Cloud Sect is about to disappear, so what master-disciple relationship is left?

There's no hidden story.

Bai Mei walked forward on her own, her mind already filled with numerous thoughts and scenarios, but her sense of crisis also increased greatly.

Because she understood her master's thoughts better than anyone else, she felt even more pressured.

"Either start planning or start closing in, but for the master, closing in is the only option now."

"Without the sect leader and Bingtang, the Azure Cloud Sect is no longer the Azure Cloud Sect."

"Bingtang would never disobey Master on such a matter; only I can persuade Master to rescind his order."

"It's all thanks to this one sword strike—"

She gripped the sword in her heart, her figure transforming into a streak of rainbow light, sweeping across the sky of South China!

Bingtang followed behind Shion, quietly watching her sect leader's back.

Over the past few years, she has gone from a young girl who excitedly followed Jiang Si to build up the Azure Cloud Sect, to a business rival cultivated by her father, to a manager who now holds power over both the Ice-Colored Group and the Azure Cloud Sect.

In the eyes of others, power and wealth are already beyond their reach.

However, for Bingtang Tang, she always felt incredibly poor.

They had nothing in their hands, and even their support was extremely weak.

--

It was this sense of unease stemming from poverty that drove her to strive for greater strength, to continuously expand Azure Cloud, and to motivate Azure Cloud disciples to train diligently, keep pace with the sect leader, and ultimately satisfy the sect leader.

No one knows where her sense of crisis came from, or where her motivation came from.

Even Jiang Si used to wonder why she was more willing to work hard than others, even though she already had everything.

This has always been a source of pride for Bingtang Tang.

Or rather, as the Grand Elder, Vice Sect Master, and mother of the true disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, how could she not have her own pride?

The disciples in the sect always joked that Miss Lu Ya was a threat to her position and was in danger, or that Prince Itaen was terrifying, and so on.

But in reality, Bingtang never really worried about such a thing.

She occasionally wanted to know who the sect leader associated with outside and what happened, but she wasn't jealous or insecure about what the sect leader did with other girls.

Because she's already done it, if things don't work out, she can do it herself.

At most, they felt regretful that others had done things that they hadn't done before the sect leader.

Because she always wanted to be Jiang Si's number one priority in everything.

The first girl saved by Jiang Si when she transformed into a magical girl, the first girl to become Jiang Si's partner, the first girl to become Jiang Si's fellow Daoist, the first girl to kiss Jiang Si, the first girl to get engaged to Jiang Si ----

She wanted all of Jiang Si's first times, nothing more.

Her sense of crisis never stemmed from the idea that anyone could surpass her position in Jiang Si's heart.

Because Bingtang never felt that anyone could truly replace her.

Her sense of crisis stemmed solely from the fact that she no longer had any reason to stay by Jiang Si's side.

When Jiang Si announced the disbandment of the Azure Cloud Sect, the previously vague and fearful things became incredibly clear.

Even though she controlled the Azure Cloud Sect, she didn't actually feel secure. She always wanted more leverage and more reasons to stand by Jiang Si's side as a matter of course.

No matter how much the Azure Cloud Sect develops, it will never put her at ease.

Because it's like this now.

With just one word from Jiang Si, the Azure Cloud Sect will cease to exist.

All my hard work and efforts over the years will be in vain.

There was absolutely no room for maneuver.

Because Bingtang could never go against Jiang Si.

"Bingtang."

Coming back to her senses, Bingtang softly replied, "I'm here, Sect Master."

"You don't object to disbanding the Azure Cloud Sect?"

"The Azure Cloud Sect has existed for you from the very beginning."

Bingtang took a deep breath. "The purpose of the Azure Cloud Sect is to make the Sect Master stronger and to collect resources for you. When you no longer need it, the Azure Cloud Sect will cease to exist. This is something we agreed upon from the very beginning."

It was impossible to discern Shion's expression; the sect leader always managed to conceal her true feelings and thoughts very well.

Even Bingtang never dared to claim that she could see through the sect leader's thoughts.

Now that this question has suddenly been asked, Bingtang is unwilling to think too much about the meaning behind it.

Because all she had to do was complete Jiang Si's task.

This is her true identity.

"Even after all these years, have your thoughts remained unchanged?"

Faced with the sect leader's question, Bingtang couldn't help but smile, "How could I change while being by your side?"

"Because you haven't changed at all, Jiang Si."

Her gaze no longer fell on the Magical Girl Shion.

Looking at the boy inside, she thought, "I've always believed that."

Shion did not respond to her.

She simply strode into the conference room that Bingtang had prepared for her.

Although I could do it myself, having Bingtang do it would make it easier to spread the word to every corner and force everyone to watch.

Even now, she does rely on Bingtang more.

She had grown accustomed to having Bingtang by her side, preparing everything for her.

Everything is arranged.

Bingtang smiled gently as always, but as she smiled, a hint of loneliness crept into her expression.

"This is the last time, Sect Master."

Afterwards, Bingtang Tang led her into the conference room and prepared a chair for her to sit in the center at the very front.

A screen unfolds.

From all directions, all the screens simultaneously transformed into Shion's face.

Bai Mei was still speeding along, stopped and looked at the teacher projected in the air.

Keke was still crying and acting spoiled after reuniting with her mother, looked up at the screen that had suddenly appeared above the Magical Kingdom.

Golden Tea Hongmian at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, along with Iris had just returned, both peeked out of the window, watching the projection appear above the headquarters.

Inside the Chongxu, Yarrow, her Hogwarts, and Sonora and Su La, who were imprisoned, all looked up at the holographic projection above.

Inside the Holy Church, Prince Itaen, the White Fox, and the imprisoned Jialan all gazed at the Main God whose face had suddenly transformed into that of Shion.

South China, West China, North China, East China.

Every corner of the Old World and the New World, even the Qianye inside the World Tree, have opened their eyes.

They gazed curiously at the scene unfolding above the World Tree, on the body of the Golden Calamity Dragon King.

"Gentlemen, given the inevitable impending destruction of all worlds, I hereby cease my activities as the Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect and hereby declare the Azure Cloud Sect dissolved!"

Just one sentence, and the world is in an uproar.

"I made this decision based on principles."

"From this day forward, I will annihilate all magical girls in the world, perform a grand sacrifice to the entire realm, and attain the Sacrificial Dao!"

The clamor subsided into silence.

Inside the World Tree, the magical girl Qianye gazed at Shion, who was coldly proclaiming her death sentence, and couldn't help but chuckle. "Using this trick, huh? Return to Truth's quite a cruel one."

In the scene, Shion continued, "May you all become the food for my Sacrificial Dao, united as one, ascending to the heavens to help me ascend to the Sacrificial Dao. If I succeed in the Sacrificial Dao, I will resurrect you all. If I fail, you were all destined for destruction anyway, so there is no need to mourn your own deaths."

Inside the Magical Kingdom, Keke broke free from her mother's embrace, her eyes filled with resentment. "What on earth is Ms. Shion saying?!"

Even Yinlian and An Shiyu stared in astonishment at Shion, who was making the announcement, wondering what he was going to do.

"I know you will doubt my motives, but please rest assured, I have no selfish motives. Moreover, I only kill magical girls, and I will not harm ordinary people. If you are willing to give up your magical girl identity, you only need to go to Chongxu, integrate your Personal Reality into the Mental Image space of Chongxu, and contribute to my advancement. You will only lose your physical body, but your spirit will live on forever."

"You are magical girls who are saving the world, and there is nothing wrong with sacrificing yourselves for this. If Jade Fox can do it, it shouldn't be difficult for you either."

Prince Itaen leaned against the bedside, frowning. "What is she up to now?"

The White Fox gripped the glass in its hand so tightly it almost crushed it!

"However, to reassure you all and to show that I have not lied to you, I will begin with the Azure Cloud Sect itself. Starting today, I will purge the Seven True Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect."

Bai Mei suddenly opened one eye, her sword aura so sharp it almost tore the projection in the sky apart!

"This is also your final assessment."

The Yarrow bit its thumb, gazing at the Shion above.

Anyone who is one of the Seven True Disciples can naturally tell the difference.

Master is serious.

"Then let's begin now, the final grand sacrifice, the Jiazi Demon Extermination."

In Shion's proclamation, a gigantic purple hand suddenly appeared in the deathly silent New World.

Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm.

Then, the giant purple hand slammed down towards the New World in an instant!

Even Bai Mei was blown back several steps by the shockwave.

The giant purple hand pierced through the ground, smashing into something unknown, before grabbing hard!

Countless Mental Image Remnants, along with the magical girls residing within Mental Image Remnants, were all extracted.

Amidst an explosion of multicolored light, the large hand slowly clenched its fist.

An overwhelming force, with unparalleled power, crushed all the Mental Image Remnants!

The remnants of hundreds of Full Bloom magical girls vanished into thin air in that giant hand.

As the remnants of numerous magical girls' souls were transformed into a horrific explosion in the sky, everything returned to calm.

The New World began to crumble, and the parts connected Full Bloom the Mental Image Remnants began to rapidly crack and separate.

Shion walked out of the conference room and stepped towards the sky.

A crisp, melodious voice, yet so cold it Freeze everyone's hearts, resounded throughout the world.

"Kill me with all your might, or be killed by me."

Produce
