"Qinyáo, I am your master's master... Your master's chief disciple is your teacher... If you do not save me, it would be a grave transgression!" Huādiē Zhenren's voice echoed from the dust.Wu Ran's expression changed, and he immediately replied: Senior, I will go handle this right away.

Whoosh!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Wu Ran's body transformed into a beam of light and vanished from sight.

If he didn't turn slowly, his originally hunched frame...would gradually straighten!

At the same time, wrinkles on the face begin to fade!

At this point, Rao's youthfulness becomes readily apparent, visibly reversing with astonishing speed!

And his aura grew stronger and stronger.

A man who was once very old has now returned to the appearance of his youth!

If, not abruptly, gently moved his bones and made a crisp crackling sound.

It's been a long time... since I last moved my body. If I didn't take a deep breath and look ahead, my eyes would be filled with malice, but... this will also be the last time.

……

After leaving the Yuhuamen, the four sect masters parted ways and returned to their respective sects.

Lu Bai's astonishing Sky-Piercing Sword Sect is located in the Dayang Gate region, which is the farthest from the Nanjiang region.

But even after using the teleportation talisman, he didn't need too much time to return.

Whoosh!

After more than two hours, Lu Bai returned to the Jitian Jianpai, located in the southern region of the Danyangmen domain.

Before he even approached the sect, he could smell the metallic tang of blood in the air.

Lu Bai's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately changed.

He rushed forward anxiously, quickly dashing into the formidable Sky-Splitting Sword Sect.

Then, he witnessed a scene that pierced his heart.

The entire sect was littered with corpses and blood.

Their death was gruesome, with no whole bodies remaining. Most of the corpses still bore expressions of sheer terror on their faces.

Ah, ah....

Lu Bai's eyes widened, he clutched his head, and stared at the scene before him. For a moment, he couldn't even cry, only painful cries could escape his throat.

He flew to the ground. His feet landed on the blood-soaked earth.

At the same time, he looked around, trying to find survivors.

However, there was a deathly silence all around.

There were no survivors.

The entire sect... was slaughtered.

Ahhh......

Realizing this, Lu Bai's eyes widened, his face turned pale, and he let out a mournful cry to the heavens.

He never could have imagined that in just half a day's time, the sect would suffer such a terrible tragedy.

Who is it, who is it I must kill you all, I must kill you all...

The blood on the ground was still warm, and even though he was on the verge of emotional collapse, Lu Bai knew... these people had died very recently.

That is to say, the murderer probably hasn't left yet!

Lu Bai drew his sword from its sheath at his waist.

The blade glittered with a silvery chill. The sound of the sword's cry echoed through heaven and earth.

Get out!

Lu Bai roared wildly, his eyes bloodshot, his aura completely unleashed!

The cultivation of the third heaven of the Transcendent Realm is unleashed!

whoosh whoosh whoosh...

At that moment, several dark figures materialized before him.

There were nine people in total, all dressed in black. They wore green ghost face masks and carried pitch-black blades in their hands.

Several blades were still dripping with blood.

Noting this, Lu Bai became even more frenzied.

If he had come back a little earlier, he might have been able to save some of his disciples!

Now, it's all too late.

His sect... has been slaughtered, not a single survivor left!

Ahhh....

Lu Bai roared, the sword qi from his blade bursting forth, and his whole body emanated bursts of spiritual energy.

Lu Bai. We're willing to give you a chance. The man in black in the middle said coldly, Now kneel down and submit, and we might not kill you.

You bastards...

Lu Bai, sword in hand, fearlessly charged towards the nine men in black.

The man in black said nothing, and made a gesture.

...whizzing sounds...

Nine people in black attacked together!

They were ghostly in form, flickering around Lu Bai.

Lu Bai was already mad, only caring to hack and slash wildly. His sword qi burst forth constantly, but he didn't manage to hit anyone.

Click! Click! Click!

Instead, it was he who had exposed many flaws in himself. He was repeatedly attacked by the men in black and suffered defeats.

After several rounds, Lu Bai stood in the air, his whole body covered with dozens of wounds.

And these wounds still ooze black smoke.

A corrosive force rapidly spread throughout his body through these wounds.

Intense pain came from every wound.

Lu Bai was in the air, his body trembling slightly, his eyes bloodshot.

He knew his time was short, but he still gritted his teeth and swung his sword once more.

You, you bunch of damned bastards, even if I were in hell, I'd find a way to tear you apart... Lu Bai roared.

Whoosh!

The next second. A blade of light flashed past his eyes.

A blood line appeared on Lu Bai's neck.

Immediately, the entire head... flew off the body.

Blood spurted out.

Lu Bai's body plummeted from the sky.

He fell heavily to the ground, still clutching the sword in his hand.

The sword was still trembling, bursting forth with waves of sword energy.

But the master could never wield it again.

Whoosh!

Nine men in black gathered in the air.

Goal achieved, returning.

The man in black said coldly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Nine figures in black vanished into thin air, one after another.

...and within the formidable Sky-Splitting Sword Sect, there were only corpses strewn across the ground, soaked in blood. Besides that... there was utter silence.

……

Within an hour, in various domains of the Southern Region, the Hunyi Sect, Taichu Gate, and Shui Xian Lou... were all experiencing the same thing.

After their respective masters returned to their sects, they only saw corpses everywhere.

Long He, the ancient Heaven Craftsman, and Hua Yi, the three sect masters... encountered an opponent just like Lu Bai.

All nine were dressed in black.

And their fate...was the same as Lu Bai's.

They were utterly helpless and slaughtered on the spot. None survived.

There was no chance to contact Ye Ge at all.

...But Ye Ge could never have imagined that just over two hours later, the allies he had spent days searching for...would meet such a tragic end.

……

Purple Forest Northern Hall.

Shu Meng stood before the main hall, her expression cold as she looked at the nine men in black who had appeared before her.

Su Meng's expression flickered.

But at this moment, numerous loyal soldiers appeared from behind.

Assemble! Assemble!

The personal guard shouted.

Whizz whizz whizz…

Just then, nine men in black suddenly moved!

They moved with incredible speed, their forms blurring as blades flashed and clashed.

Ah...

A scream echoed from behind.

Shu Meng turned around, her eyes wide open.

Only to see countless of her own soldiers dying tragically behind her.

Shu Meng shouted sharply, her aura bursting forth.

Nine figures in black gathered again in the air.

By this time, hundreds of corpses littered the ground behind Shu Meng.

The woman in black spoke again, her voice devoid of any emotion, "Zilin Empress, have you considered it"

Looking at the corpses behind her, Shumo's eyes turned red, and her whole body trembled.

I'll give you five more seconds. The man in black said, Five, four, three...

Shu Meng's face turned pale, and she said: "I am willing to serve you."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!angge and Fang Yu looked at each other, their eyes flickering."You can go back and think about it. I'll do my best to satisfy whatever you want, as long as it's within my power." Fang Yu turned around...
