Upon hearing Fang Haiâs tense transmission,
Lv Dongping, the seasoned elder of the Heavenly Sect who had witnessed countless trials, felt a sudden tremor in his eyes, his face etched with profound reverenceâsurpassing even Fang Haiâs own awe.
âDonât say itâs just youâI, too, have never heard of such a formidable expert!â
This single statement struck Fang Hai even deeper.
More than a dozen sect masters quietly glanced from afar, no longer daring to utter a word. They etched into their memories that terrifying, extraordinary sword strike, as well as Yi Fengâs handsome visage.
They trembled as they prepared to pay their respects, but Yi Feng and the Moon God Pavilion disciples had already finished clearing the battlefield and soared away.
All they could do was watch the retreating figures with worshipful eyes.
After departing, the Moon God Pavilionâs members carried themselves with noticeably more confidence, shedding their former restraint and hesitation.
Yi Feng felt somewhat listless and turned to an elder flying alongside him for information.
âIt seems the Scarlet Heaven Sect isnât much better. Their scouts are utterly useless. Are the rumors really that impressive?â
Elder Li hastily cupped his hands, choosing his words with care.
âElder Yi, the Scarlet Heaven Sect managed to annihilate several major Heavenly Sects in just a few days. Their strength must be extraordinary. Their sudden rise surely hides secrets, and their true power likely surpasses the rumors!â
âIt is said that the Scarlet Heaven Sect has ten elders, all Heavenly-Rank masters with unfathomable cultivation!â
Elder Wang, flying on Yi Fengâs left, also respectfully cupped his hands, his tone gentler.
âThatâs right!â
âIâve heard the Scarlet Heaven Sect is teeming with experts. Their sect leader, Tu Daofang, is even more terrifying in cultivationârumored to have reached the third or even fourth rank of the Heavenly Stage!â
âThe sect leader of the Ten-Thousand Peaks Sect and their three top elders were completely defeated by him with a single palm. Their sect was destroyed overnight! Even Lu Yufeng, once a renowned sword prodigy, reportedly didnât get a chance to draw his sword before falling to this man!â
âElder Yi, you must not underestimate him!â
Elder Li took over the conversation, both giving Elder Wang face and emphasizing the severity of the situation.
âYes, Iâve heard many such rumors.â
âTu Daofang and the Scarlet Heaven Sect have only risen in a matter of days, yet their fearsome reputation has spread far and wide. He is ruthless and formidableâa true tyrant of the era. Even the Pavilion Master has said he must not be taken lightly!â
Hearing this, Yi Fengâs eyes sparkled with excitement.
Though he had never seen the man, his mind already painted a terrifying image of a demonic overlordâfierce and violent, shaking the entire Heavenly Domain with his power!
Such a fearsome existence was undoubtedly a formidable adversary.
If he ever crossed paths with him, just meeting him might be a death sentence!
This suicidal mission was absolutely set!
As Yi Feng and his companionsâ figures vanished completely, the masters in the dense forest gazed skyward at the drifting clouds, still filled with awe and profound emotion.
This dreamlike sensation felt almost unreal.
Many immediately clenched their magical weapons, rushing to the forestâs edge to investigate the wreckage of the flying vessel!
Until a sudden shout rang outâ
âTu Daofang!â
Everyone was instantly alerted, crowding around in urgency.
âIt really is Tu Daofang!â
Excited voices erupted one after another.
âTu Daofang is finally dead!â
âBlood debts are settled. Master, fellow brothersâyou can now rest in peace!â
âThis demon has finally met his just end. Heaven truly has eyes!â
Looking up to the sky, everyone unleashed their pent-up hatred and frustration from earlier, their screams echoing through the dense forest for miles around.
With their curses came a surge of fury!
In an instant, everyone channeled the power of the Great Dao, weapons flashing in unison!

Except for their heads, their already broken bodies were swiftly beaten and hacked to pieces, the deep-seated blood feud vented to the fullest!
Lv Dongping watched with a sigh, eyes gently closed.
Once the raging anger began to subside, the elder finally spoke up.
âEveryone.â
âNow that Tu Daofang has been slain by a formidable expert, and the Ten Elders have perished here, the red sky sect that has wreaked havoc across tens of thousands of miles still remains!â
âWe must spread this news far and wide, rally the righteous forces of all sects, and completely eradicate this calamity. Only then can we fulfill our great righteousness and honor the immense grace of that seniorâs intervention!â
His words struck like a thunderclap, awakening those lost in their hatred.
The elite disciples of various sects, blinded by their rage, suddenly shuddered and bowed deeply in respect.
âElder Lv speaks the truth!â
âThough Tu Daofang is dead, the red sky sect remains. We must exterminate this evil sect!â
âEveryone, let us each go our separate ways to spread the word and unite the righteous elites. Let all corners of the Southern Departure Heavenly Domain know of the benevolence of this senior expert!â
âExactly my thoughts!â
Several of them regrouped immediately, carrying Tu Daofangâs severed head and the corpses of the elders to various places, using the most compelling evidence to spread the shocking truth.
After their separate missions, $2ithin half a day, the news had spread across a radius of ten thousand miles.
As elites of their respective sects, these masters had extensive connections and prestige. Quickly, tens of thousands of cultivators gathered. Though mixed and harboring their own agendas, under the premise that Tu Daofang was dead, the rallying cry to eliminate demons and traitors resounded across the land.
Tens of thousands of experts journeyed to the East Seaâs Falling Sunset Island, utterly wiping out the red sky sectâs headquarters!
The once-feared sect, which had made everyone pale with terror, was instantly broken and scattered, slaughtered to pieces. The sect members fled in all directions, and their once-dreaded reputation vanished with the wind.
Southern Departure Heavenly Domain continent.
Yi Feng and his companions remained unaware of all this, still focused on searching for suspicious figures at the outskirts of the Moon God Pavilionâs territory, crossing mountains and valleys to track the red sky sectâs trail.
They had been searching for a full three days and nights.
Hope in Yi Fengâs heart gradually faded, frustration filling his eyes. He sent several disciples to scout around but found no sign of activity, a bad feeling creeping over him.
On the morning of the fourth day, $2i Feng finally lost his patience, cursing as he looked around the desolate mountains and wilderness.
âDamn itâŚâ
âIs the red sky sect some kind of ghost? Weâve been searching for three days with dozens of people and havenât seen a single trace. Where the hell have these bastards hidden?â
Beside him, two elders dared not speak.
They looked at Yi Fengâs impatience and shared his feelings deeply.
The red sky sect was notoriously brutal!
They were on the verge of plotting something against the Moon God Pavilion, and as those tasked with gathering intelligence, having no results for several days, who wouldnât be anxious?
Originally, the two elders were somewhat distant toward Yi Feng, after all, he was a new elder and lacked the camaraderie of longtime comrades.
Having already tested their skills earlier, these past few days, Elder Yi had led them through hunger and thirst, tirelessly searching for the enemy sectâs forces. Their dedication to the sectâs greater cause needed no further words!
Now, looking at Yi Fengâs anxious face, the two elders were filled with deep respect. Even though they heard his grumbling complaints, they couldnât help but feel a profound sense of gratitude.
Yet, with the situation as it was, all they could do was fret helplessly.
The other disciples dared neither speak nor ask questions; they stood obediently to the side, their eyes full of shame as they watched Elder Yiâs urgency.
Just as the atmosphere grew awkward, suddenly several streaks of light descended swiftly from the sky!
âWhoosh! Whoosh!â
Hearing the sound, everyone looked up to see the elite disciples who had been sent out earlier returning.
Yi Fengâs hope surged instantly.
The other elders and disciplesâ eyes brightened as well, rushing forward eagerly.
âHow is it?â
The question came out breathlessly, and the disciples gasped heavily, panting as they said, âSomethingâs happened. Something terrible.â
âTerrible?â
Yi Feng and the others were shocked, their eyes filled with confusion as they stared at the returning disciples.
Without catching their breath, the disciples hurriedly reported, âThe Chixiao Heavenly Sectâthe Chixiao Heavenly Sect has been wiped out!â
âTu Daofang and the Ten Elders were all killed. The Chixiao Heavenly Sect was utterly destroyed overnight!â
âThis news has already spread far and wide!â
âWhat?â
The moment this news broke, the entire hall trembled. Everyoneâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Yi Feng stood there dumbfounded.
What?
Wasnât this supposed to be a formidable and ruthless sect? How could it just vanish like that?
Once they recovered, everyoneâs gazes snapped to the disciples, eager to hear the full story.
âSpeak quickly, what happened exactly?â
âYes, Qing Feng, you must explain everything clearly!â
The disciples bowed slightly at the call, swallowed nervously, and began to speak urgently.
âElder Yi, respected elders!â
âHereâs what we heard: A few days ago, a team of mysterious experts ambushed Tu Daofang! The leaderâs cultivation was terrifyingly powerfulâhe killed Tu Daofang with a single sword strike! In one encounter, the Ten Elders were all slain as well!â
âAs the news spread, the Chixiao Heavenly Sect lost its top fighters. Countless experts immediately banded together and attacked the sect, leveling it to the ground within a single day!â
Swish!
As the words left their mouths, everyoneâs eyes widened several times over!
Elder Li was utterly stunned, his eyes nearly popping out. âIs this true?â
âAbsolutely!â
âThe few scattered cultivators were even carrying the Chixiao Heavenly Sectâs badges and showed several magical treasures!â
The discipleâs tone grew more excited.
At this, everyone was utterly dumbfounded.
Tu Daofang was incredibly formidable!
Though no one present had witnessed his prowess firsthand, rumors said he was at least a third-rank Heavenly stage cultivator. To be slain by a single swordâwhat kind of terrifying power must that person possess?!
The two elders stood rigid, utterly bewildered.
âAre you sure this information isnât false...?â
They found it hard to believe.
For the once-mighty Chixiao Heavenly Sect to simply vanish like thatâit was too unreal.
"Elder, thereâs no mistake. The several of us who went out all split up to gather information, and the news I received is consistent," reported another disciple who had gone out to scout. "In fact, my information is even more detailed. It says that this expert didnât just slaughter the entire Chi Xiao Tian Sect at first sight, but even devoured their corpses completely. Only Tu Daofangâs head remained, and you could still vaguely make out his features!"
Upon receiving this confirmation, everyone around gasped in shock!
Even though all present were elite disciples of the Moon God Pavilionâtop-tier inner disciplesânot a single one had ever heard of such a terrifying master. They trembled in fear and buzzed with heated discussion!
âIs there really such a person in this world?!â
âWhat kind of cultivation level could that person possibly have?â
The disciples were utterly stunned, their conversations rising and falling like waves.
The two elders were equally shocked, their throats dry with disbelief.
âThis! This!â
âTo massacre the entire Chi Xiao Tian Sect as if slicing through melons and cutting vegetables... such a masterâs cultivation is beyond our imagination!â
âThis person must never be offended!â
âWe have to report this to the Pavilion Master immediatelyâthis is an emergency!â
The two elders, with their rich experience and cultivation far surpassing the surrounding disciples, had a clearer understanding of the weight such a rumor carried. Compared to the disciplesâ shock, they grasped the true significance of this figure!
Judging by the rumored cultivation, it wouldnât be surprising if this senior controlled the entire Southern Departure Southern Domain in the blink of an eye. The power behind him was simply unfathomable.
In the presence of such a figure, even the Moon God Pavilion, with Elder Weiâs backing and the support of a monstrous force, had to show respect and caution.
The two elders were so shaken that their minds churned like stormy waves.
In their urgency, they quickly turned to seek guidance from Yi Feng.
But to their surprise, Yi Feng was nowhere to be found.
At the foot of the mountain, amid the stunned crowd, Yi Feng sat alone, sulking and utterly speechless.
He was absentmindedly pulling at a dogtail flower, cursing nonstop.
âThis is really f*cked up!â
âWhat kind of dumbass expert is this? Does he not understand basic manners? First come, first served, right?â
The more Yi Feng thought about it, the angrier he got. He had already stripped the dogtail flower bare!
âIf you want to show off and save the world, at least let me be the one Tu Daofang chops down first! I clearly arrived first, that wouldnât stop you from showing off, right? Then you can kill him afterwards, and weâll both get our moments to shine!â
âIsnât that great?â
âBut no, I wasted all this effort, ended up running around in the wilderness for days for nothing. Seriously, where the hell did that sneaky expert come from?â
âI wish you and your so-called expert squad the worstâmay you all run out of toilet paper when you need it the most!â
After ranting for a long time, Yi Feng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
Water and fire show no mercy; it hits when it hits. He was in real discomfort and quickly dashed toward the bushes!
