Chapter 86: The Nest of the Evil Cult
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Gu Tong transformed into a black smoke and returned to his dwelling.
He took out a precious pill and swallowed it.
As the pill entered his stomach, Gu Tong’s injuries quickly stabilized.
Not only that, but his severed arm also began to regenerate rapidly.
In just a few breaths, a completely new arm had grown out.
However, it was too pale, and it looked highly asymmetrical compared to his other dark arm.
Su Yang felt that it was necessary to correct this; the sight was truly triggering his perfectionism.
Hmm… it’s time to set off now, since their hideout has already been located.
But Su Yang was pondering a question.
Should he keep this guy around for a while?
As an advanced evil cultivator, he surely wouldn’t bother killing one or two ordinary people.
So, does this guy know other evil cultivators, or does he know the bases of other evil cultivators?
A sudden curiosity arose in Su Yang. If Gu Tong knew other evil cultivators and knew the locations of their bases, would he seek them out after the destruction of this Evil Sacred Sect?
If he did, then Su Yang wouldn’t have to expend much effort to find the hiding places of other evil cultivators.
Very well, trying it out will provide the answers.
“Gu Lao, wait here for me a moment. I’ll be back soon,” Su Yang said. Without waiting for Gu Xiu to reply, he transformed into a rainbow light and vanished before Gu Xiu’s eyes in an instant.
“Alright…”
Su Yang turned into a streak of rainbow light, swiftly flying toward Gu Tong’s location.
According to Gu Tong’s current position, it would take around two hours at Gu Xiu’s speed, but for Su Yang, it was merely the span of ten breaths.
High above an endless mountain range, a streak of sword-intent rainbow light came to a halt.
Su Yang’s figure appeared, covered in a sword-intent that easily detected the hiding evil cultivators below.
Their total count reached up to 674 individuals.
Each one was steeped in heinous sins.
The reason they were called evil cultivators was that their cultivation paths brought harm to their own kind.
Otherwise, Su Yang wouldn’t have bothered if their cultivation paths didn’t harm him.
Judging from the scene here, it seemed to be the headquarters of this Evil Sacred Sect.
Most of the evil cultivators from the Evil Sacred Sect were probably gathered here.
As for those outside, he would deal with them later.
However, in order to allow Gu Tong to escape, he needed to create some commotion.
That meant he couldn’t just annihilate this place in one strike.
“Hmm… then let’s charge in.”
Entrance to the Evil Sect.
Two disciples of the Evil Sect were lazily guarding the entrance.
Suddenly, the sealed stone entrance didn’t open as usual due to the activation of formations.
Instead… boom!
After a loud explosion, the stone entrance instantly shattered into pieces.
Sword intent swarmed forth, and the two guards at the entrance were killed before they could even raise an alarm.
Su Yang walked in casually, surveying the surroundings as if he was strolling around his own home.
It didn’t look like he was a lone individual infiltrating an evil cultivator stronghold.
With the great disturbance caused by Su Yang, the cultivators inside were obviously aware.
Soon, more evil cultivators started emerging.
“Who dares to be so insolent here!”
Although the person’s voice arrived before his physical presence, it was loud and clear.
However… at the moment they appeared and stepped into Su Yang’s sword domain, they were no different from the two guards at the entrance.
Instantly torn apart by the sword intent within the domain.
Step by step, Su Yang entered the domain, and more evil cultivators appeared.
Simultaneously, more and more evil cultivators died at his hands.
The massive commotion in the stronghold also woke Gu Tong from his recovery.
Frowning, he wondered what was happening down there?
However, once he teleported outside and saw the situation, he was filled with terror.
Numerous sect disciples had died, and amidst a sea of corpses, one person was casually strolling, slowly walking towards him.
Su Yang!
How did he manage to chase him here?
Images of Wang Chengfeng and Silver Moon Master being killed in an instant flashed in Gu Tong’s mind. His legs turned weak, and he turned around to flee.
“Running away?
“You think I’m going to let you escape?”
Su Yang’s words were like a malevolent melody, and Gu Tong turned into a black mist, fleeing even faster.
He was fast.
Su Yang was faster.
A sword swung, brushing through the air, slashing towards Gu Tong.
Gu Tong’s evasion skills were still decent. He managed to dodge the fatal strike, but he lost an arm in the process.
However, this was intentional on Su Yang’s part. If Gu Tong managed to dodge, he’d survive, but his unbroken arm would be cut off.
If he couldn’t evade it, then so be it. He wouldn’t have any utility value. After transforming into a black mist, Gu Tong fled rapidly, disappearing in an instant.
Although Su Yang could chase after him and use his Flowing Light technique, Gu Tong had no chance of escaping when facing this technique.
Yet, Su Yang saw some use in keeping this person alive for now. Local residents would be more familiar with the terrain and hideouts, making it more convenient to find other evil cultivators.
Now that Gu Tong had left, there was no need to be polite to this stronghold.
Su Yang walked through it.
Evil cultivators who entered his sword domain were instantly torn to shreds.
Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, Heaven Realm cultivators…
None were exceptions.
Witnessing Su Yang’s terror, some evil cultivators couldn’t help but shout.
“Quick, go get the Sect Master!”
“We need the Sect Master’s intervention, otherwise we’re doomed…”
These were words from some cultivators who weren’t clear on the situation.
However, those who were observing the situation develop couldn’t help but feel despair.
The Sect Master?
The Sect Master had already fled!
In the time it took to finish a cup of tea, Su Yang had wiped out all the evil cultivators within this stronghold. Not a single one was spared.
“Done.”
Su Yang’s tone was casual, but the scene of carnage around him made it as horrifying as it could be.
[Will of All Sentient Beings +63440]
This Evil Sacred Sect was evidently a more advanced faction of evil cultivators compared to the Blood Refinement Sect. It was unknown how long they had existed or how many lives they had taken.
Over six hundred individuals, over sixty thousand wills of sentient beings.
The main contributors were those Great Grandmasters and Heaven Realm cultivators.
After a sin level exceeded a hundred, the values would increase tenfold.
Sin Level 100, Will of All Sentient Beings +1000.
Although this was quite satisfying, Su Yang also contemplated a question. After his Sword Intent exceeded Level 100, would the required number of sword swings increase tenfold?
Though he still had a way to go to reach Level 100, he had encountered some situations beyond Level 100, which made him consider this.
However, rather than worrying about that issue, it was better to enhance his own physique. With a strong physique and fast sword swings, this wouldn’t be an issue.
A Great Grandmaster evil cultivator provided over a thousand wills of sentient beings.
A Heaven Realm evil cultivator provided over five thousand wills.
These individuals had reached this level mostly by relying on evil cultivation techniques, and nobody knew how many lives they had taken.
The Great Xia Dynasty had only existed for over four hundred years.
These Great Grandmasters and Heaven Realm cultivators might have existed even longer.
The number of lives they had taken was incalculable.
Su Yang didn’t overthink it. The conclusion was that these people deserved death.
After dealing with all the evil cultivators, Su Yang began to clean up the battlefield.
At his level, he wouldn’t search one by one. Using his sword intent, he swept through the area, causing odd objects like storage rings and bags to fly up from the pockets of these individuals.
He took everything and packed it up.
There were just too many items, making his head ache. He could leave the sorting to Gu Xiu.
Once the items on the battlefield were sorted, there was still a treasure vault of the Evil Sacred Sect.
The vault was enveloped by a formation, its defenses strong enough that even
Heaven Realm cultivators would need some time to open it.
Thus, Su Yang shattered the formation with a single sword strike.
After all, it could only withstand attacks from Heaven Realm cultivators, and he wasn’t one.
Opening the vault, a surge of spiritual energy greeted him.
Walking in, he swept his gaze around. There were many good items.
Weapons, pills, techniques, armor, special treasures, rare materials…
And plenty of spiritual stones and bloodspirit stones.
Everything was present.
When Su Yang saw the item in the center, he was taken aback.
“Huh?”
“Foundation Establishment High-Grade Spirit Plant – Purple Moon Flower!”
