Chapter 182: Limitless Cruelty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The actions of the Sunset Monarchy incurred the wrath of everyone in the Northern Region Alliance.
Such a tragic massacre caused the entire Northern Region to fall into panic!
At that time, even if the war ended, it would also cause the cultivators and people of the Northern Region to escape.
The Essence Energy of the Northern Region would be severely injured!
In that case, so what if they won the war?
Wu Deshi frowned and said, “Could the Sunset Monarchy not have considered this?”
“So what if a dynasty integrates a sparsely populated place?”
“Furthermore, after this massacre, no one will be convinced and submit to him.”
Everyone shook their heads when they heard that.
Clearly, they did not understand the actions of the Sunset Monarchy.
Hong Ying also frowned slightly.
She had a feeling that something was wrong.
Ning Chenxin’s face darkened slightly, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Even Hong Ying and Ye Qiubai had never seen Ning Chenxin like this.
In normal times, Ning Chenxin had an extremely gentle personality with a faint smile on his face.
He was just like a scholar in a school, as if he would never be angry.
He would remain calm no matter how big the matter was.
However, they could clearly sense that Ning Chenxin was furious, so much so that was even the aura of the Confucian Dao circling around him!
Ning Chenxin’s tone was filled with deep anger as he said in a low voice, “We can’t let the Sunset Monarchy continue like this. We have to stop it.”
His tone was low, as if he was constantly suppressing his anger.
However, such a person was the most terrifying.
Once his anger erupted, he would be unstoppable.
Everyone nodded when they heard Ning Chenxin’s words.
Ning Chenxin was in the battle of the main attack in the Great Rift Valley.
He had displayed his strength.
He was someone who could fight a Peak Stage Qianyuan Realm expert!
In fact, he could even suppress it!
Naturally, Ning Chenxin had the right to speak.
This was normal, how could he have the right to speak without strength and contributions?
One would not even have the right to say anything.
Wu Deshi nodded and said, “We naturally need to stop this from happening. Now, what we need to discuss is how to stop it.”
Ding Yunhe thought for a moment and said, “We can’t use all our strength to deal with such a matter. We can only form a team to destroy the team of the Sunset Monarchy.”
“That’s right.” The Deputy Sect Master of the Hidden Sword Sect nodded in agreement.
“Now, the Buddhist Sect has already interfered and joined the camp of the Sunset Monarchy. There’s already a difference in the strength of the Peak Stage.”
Just the two old men had already reached the Void God Realm.
Moreover, the other party also had the Old King of the Sunset Monarchy, who was also at the Void God Realm.
Which meant…
On the Sunset Monarchy’s side, there were already three Void God Realm experts!
On the Northern Region Alliance’s side, there was only Lin Rufeng and Dean Yan.
“So, who should be leading the team?”
It was Ning Chenxin who suggested going to stop the Sunset Monarchy. Ning Chenxin naturally did not refuse.
Hence, he stood up and said, “Let me do it.”
Wu Deshi looked at Ning Chenxin and nodded without refusing.
With Ning Chenxin leading the team, his strength was naturally unquestionable.
As long as the other party did not send out Void God Realm experts,
Ning Chenxin was not in danger.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai also stood up and said, “I’ll go too.”
Ye Qiubai had just stood up.
Hong Ying shook her head and stopped him. “No, Senior Brother, you can’t go.”
Ye Qiubai and the people of the alliance looked at Hong Ying.
Hong Ying frowned and said, “The Sunset Monarchy’s actions are too sudden.”
“If they only wanted to kill independent cultivators and commoners, they would have done it before. Why did they only start now?”
Everyone was stunned hearing Hong Ying’s words and began to ponder on it.
That’s right. Previously, they had only slaughtered mortal itinerant cultivators in the places they passed by yet they were deliberately looking for cities where wandering cultivators and mortals gathered and killed them.
This was too sudden and deliberate, as if it was premeditated!
Hong Ying continued, “In my opinion, there are two reasons why they did this.”
“Firstly, it’s because they need to kill independent cultivators to increase their strength.”
Old Man Yin Corpse’s cultivation technique and the Corpse Puppet Secretary needed to collect souls and bodies.
However, Old Man Yin Corpse shouldn’t have exposed his identity yet.
Otherwise, the news would have spread long ago.
“The second point, which is also the most likely, is as a bait.”
A bait?
Everyone was stunned and looked at Hong Ying, waiting for her to speak.
“That’s right, bait.” Hong Ying looked at Ye Qiubai and frowned. “They know that we will definitely attack.”
“As for the Sunset Monarchy, not only do they want to eliminate the other resisting factions of the Northern Region, but there’s also someone who has an irreconcilable grudge with them.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai also reacted and pointed at himself. “You said that they were trying to lure me?”
Everyone looked at Ye Qiubai.
They had also heard of Ye Qiubai’s deeds.
Hong Ying nodded and shook her head. “It’s possible, but what 1 don’t understand is why they are sure that you would attack. If you don’t go, their plan will fail. That’s what I’m most confused about.”
Hong Ying had already guessed the other party’s intentions.
However, she could not know the goal of the Sunset Monarchy.
No one would have expected that the goal of the Sunset Monarchy was not Ye Qiubai but to lure Ning Chenxin so that they could know what Lu Changsheng’s purpose was!
Their ultimate goal was Lu Changsheng!
It was normal not to be able to think of it since their master was usually so idle and did not like to cause trouble after all.
Ning Chenxin said, “We can’t wait anymore. Big Senior Brother, don’t go. I’ll go-”
Ye Qiubai nodded. “Be careful.”
Wu Deshi said, “I’ll arrange for a few people to go with you.”
With that, they confirmed a few support teams.
Ning Chenxin was the leader of the team.
The others were the Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect, Jian Chaomian, Liang Feng, and the others.
The group took advantage of the night to leave the Valley of Heaven’s Wrath and headed towards the place where the incident happened.
The location of the incident was Azure Sky City, which was not far away from the Azure Sky Mountain Range.
Azure City was originally under the jurisdiction of the Azure Sky Sect but it had now become one of the bases of the Sunset Monarchy.
When Ning Chenxin and the others arrived outside Tianqing City, everyone was furious.
The Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect’s face turned red!
The city wall was in tatters.
In the city, numerous black auras soared into the sky.
The dark spirit roared in the black aura!
However, the roars of ghosts were not the only thing in this city.
There were even three consecutive screams!
What was even more infuriating was that the city wall was filled with human heads.
Human heads circled around the broken city wall with blood covering it!
