Chapter 232 -210: The Manor Master’s Word is Evidence (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)_2
Gu Yi spoke the truth.
Without waiting for Gu Yang to ask, he continued to speak.
“The Ten Thousand Soul Sect is a mysterious sect in Ling Province, rumored to be linked to the Taisu Sect. They wield some bizarre and profound secret techniques, making their reputation quite prominent in the Martial World.
Now that the Guangyang Army has stepped into Ling Province, it’s inevitable that they would clash with the interests of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect. Their retaliation from the shadows could be explained.
Of course, such odd manipulation techniques are not solely held by the Ten Thousand Soul Sect. Some Martial World Wanderers are also adept in such methods.
Without concrete evidence, it is difficult to assert that this incident is the work of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect.”
...
Upon hearing this,
Gu Yang sneered immediately.
“This king acts without need for evidence. Since the Ten Thousand Soul Sect knows such peculiar manipulation techniques, we will strike at them first. I want you to uncover everything about the Ten Thousand Soul Sect within three days.”
“Yes!”
Gu Yi bowed and accepted the order.
After he left, the murderous intent in Gu Yang’s eyes remained fierce.
“Ten Thousand Soul Sect!”
“This king will make the people of the world understand the consequences of opposing me!”
It is the weak who need to rely on evidence.
For the strong, their actions are the evidence themselves.
Now that his scales had been touched, Gu Yang would certainly not tolerate it.
Very well.
The Ten Thousand Soul Sect is linked to the Taisu Sect, and they are bound to be a problem in the future. It would be better to use this opportunity to uproot the Ten Thousand Soul Sect entirely.
——
Less than three days passed,
and Gu Yi had delivered all the intelligence on the Ten Thousand Soul Sect to Gu Yang.
“The Ten Thousand Soul Sect has a lineage that stretches over 5,600 years, with nine God Fusion Realm powerhouses within the sect, among which, the Sect Master, Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor, is rumored to be a half-step Transformation Realm powerhouse.
He possesses the treasured Ten Thousand Soul Banner, rumored to refine extraordinary mysteries. Truly difficult to handle!”
Nine God Fusion Realm experts!
The treasured Ten Thousand Soul Banner!
Gu Yang’s expression shifted slightly.
From this, one could see that the foundation of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect was indeed not weak.
In the past, Gu Yang might not have been assured of taking on the Ten Thousand Soul Sect, but now, things were different.
“Pass my command, have Shi Zhen lead the Heavenly Gang Army to besiege the Ten Thousand Soul Sect. Additionally, ask Sword Senior to accompany the army. In this battle, I want the Ten Thousand Soul Sect to be wholly eradicated!”
Gu Yang issued the order directly.
No matter how powerful the Ten Thousand Soul Sect was, with thirty-six thousand Heavenly Gang Army troops and a Martial Arts Grandmaster to bolster their forces, it would not be just one Ten Thousand Soul Sect, but even two or three, that could be wiped out in a single blow.
Having received the order, Gu Yi turned and withdrew at once.
At the same time,
in Ling Province,
within the Ten Thousand Soul Sect.
In the great hall, there sat an elder in a blood-colored robe, occupying the highest seat. His cheeks hollow, his cheekbones protruding high, and his eyes deep and sharp, he exuded a bone-chilling presence.
This man was the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect—Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor!
Before him,
stood an elder of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect, utterly reverent.
“You’re saying you failed?”
Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor looked down at the person below, his gaze indifferent and voice hoarse, unsettling to those who heard it.
Xu Lin said anxiously, “I did not expect those two youngsters to have mysterious protections on them. Due to a momentary lapse, a blunder occurred. I hope the Sect Master will forgive me!”
“I recall you have a Floating Tomb-tier oddity at your disposal. Was it not sufficient to succeed?”
Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor’s brow furrowed.
A Floating Tomb-tier oddity involved the level of Masters and True Intent Masters.
Although,
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
the oddity owned by Xu Lin had merely entered the Floating Tomb level, qualifying as an average Master, its bizarre methods and unpredictable assassinations often made it much stronger than ordinary Masters.
If Gu Yang had powerful protectors by his side, Xu Lin’s failure would have been one thing.
But now, failing against two young children was genuinely unsatisfactory to the Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor.
Xu Lin forced a smile, “Those two possess an incredibly stout and yang energy. As soon as my Floating Tomb-tier oddity approached, it was scorched by that force, extinguishing it on the spot.”
As he said this,
fear crept into Xu Lin’s eyes, as if recalling something terrifying.
This statement
once again caused the Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor’s brow to tighten.
A Floating Tomb-tier oddity, involving the strength of Masters, clearly did not need further explanation.
If a top-notch expert had emerged, the defeat of a Floating Tomb-tier oddity might have been justifiable.
However, now,
as per Xu Lin’s description,
the presence of a mysterious force on both individuals that led to the immediate destruction of the Floating Tomb-tier oddity was somewhat inconceivable.
“Could it be a handiwork of that Martial Saint?”
Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor thought of Gu Qingfeng, his expression growing even more somber.
Regarding the Martial Saint capable of slaying Fu Zhao, the Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor was naturally very wary.
Despite the rich foundation of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect, in the eyes of such a powerful individual, they could be wiped out with a mere wave of the hand.
With this in mind,
the Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor looked towards Xu Lin and said in a deep voice, “You haven’t exposed your identity, have you?”
“I’ve acted covertly, only allowing the oddity to strike. I believe no one will notice.”
Xu Lin voiced this with a bit more confidence.
From the beginning to the end,
he did not show himself personally, but only ordered the oddity to strike. Now that the oddity had fallen, there was even less evidence to prove that the incident was his doing.
Hearing this, the Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor nodded slightly, then directly summoned a black ancient banner.
Upon seeing the emergence of the black banner, Xu Lin’s expression drastically changed,
“Ten Thousand Soul Banner…”
However, before he could act, Ten Thousand Soul Ancestor blasted forth with a palm, instantly shattering Xu Lin’s body, followed by the enveloping black mist whirling within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Oddities emerged, devouring Xu Lin’s flesh and blood until nothing was left.
Within moments,
only a few traces of blood remained on the ground.
