Chapter 1942: Chapter 1935: Tell Them to Wash Their Necks Clean
"Gu Xiao! He really is Gu Xiao! Just like he appears on the sect’s wanted list! And the people with him, they’ve all returned!"
"Someone actually managed to return from the Endless Land, a place that dramatically speeds up realm advancement. Now his energy has reached the peak of Divine Cultivation! Back when he was only third-grade Divine Cultivator, he could beat up those direct disciples; imagine how terrifying he must be now!"
"Damn it, our communication is blocked, we can’t send out any messages!"
"Run! Run quickly! Split up and flee; whoever manages to escape counts! The news about Gu Xiao must be brought back to the Divine Profound Hall!"
As soon as they recognized Zhang Menglong, all the disciples of the Divine Profound Hall realized they couldn’t transmit any messages, and they immediately decided to flee. At this moment, splitting up was their only slim chance of survival; otherwise, they would all be wiped out!
They immediately used their techniques to escape in all directions, no longer caring about others from the Divine Profound Hall.
The reaction of the Divine Profound Hall puzzled the disciples of Shennong Valley. They had never been on opposing sides with Zhang Menglong and his group. His terrifying power existed merely in the rumors they heard. Even when the people from the Divine Profound Hall attacked earlier, they never imagined the Sunset Sect people could come to the rescue and easily block those attacks.
"Alas, why bother with such a meaningless escape?" Zhang Menglong sighed, "Don’t let any of them get away! Command Group One! This time, do whatever you want with the Divine Profound Hall, no fear!"
"Damn it, I’ve been waiting for this day a long time!"
"Three years, a full three years! Do you know how I’ve endured these three years?"
"You endured by eating and drinking well! Aren’t you going to act?"
"Consider this a warning to your Divine Profound Hall today; you better wash your necks clean and wait for us to come. For causing my family’s destruction, this grudge should be settled!"
In an instant, the sky was filled with a barrage of attacks, sealing every inch of the area. The disciples of the Divine Profound Hall were like flies being swatted down, then mercilessly crushed.
The disciples of Sunset Sect had been restrained for far too long, and indeed, some held deep grudges. Some had family members killed, countries destroyed, or had themselves been plotted against and murdered. If not for Zhang Menglong, they wouldn’t even have had the chance to be resurrected!
These three years had made them incredibly strong, with everyone’s life levels reaching the peak of Super Life Form. Each enjoyed the best cultivation resources under Zhang Menglong’s rigorous training, far exceeding ordinary Divine Cultivation peak warriors!
Even in everyday conditions, they could spar with some weaker Dao Realm martial artists. The Divine Profound Hall disciples were utterly helpless against their current strength, barely requiring them to exert much effort.
They chatted while they struck down those Divine Profound Hall martial artists attempting to break through the encirclement.
Mostly, with the impact of their attacks, those from the Divine Profound Hall were either killed outright or severely injured, evidently a one-sided massacre!
"Why are they so fierce?" The disciples of Shennong Valley were stunned; could this truly be the weakest superpower they once considered? Now, every one of these outer sect disciples was strong enough to stand on their own.
"No wonder the Divine Profound Hall fears them so much—to the point of terror, we might add. Don’t forget, three years ago, they put these people on the wanted list."
"But we don’t know exactly what they’ve experienced during this time..."
This battle didn’t last long; none of the Divine Profound Hall disciples could take more than two hits, and those barely breathing were considered extremely lucky. Out of dozens, only four or five were still clinging to life.
They lay miserably on the ground, despair showing in their eyes, reminiscent of the moment they raised their blades against other superpowers.
"The rest is left to you; let you have some sense of participation!" Zhang Menglong spoke to the Shennong Valley disciples.
"Thank you, Brother Gu Xiao!"
The Shennong Valley disciples, somewhat recovered, saw these nearly immobile Divine Profound Hall disciples. Their anger surged: these bastards turned Shennong Valley into what it is now. The memories of their attack on Shennong Valley and the massacre of their fellow disciples remained fresh.
"You dare..." Blood foamed from the mouths of Divine Profound Hall disciples, yet they still attempted one last threat.
"Go to hell!" With no mercy, the Shennong Valley disciples set them ablaze, ensuring they paid for their deeds in the flames.
The cries of the Divine Profound Hall’s disciples grew weaker, eventually disappearing altogether.
"Thank you for saving me today, Brother Gu Xiao. I, Ling Yi, will never forget!"
"Ling Yi, no need to be so polite; we merely happened to be transported from the Endless Land to this place, just doing what’s right as we pass by. Consider it your lucky star," Zhang Menglong courteously replied, "We should hurry to contact the five major forces to discuss how to deal with the Divine Profound Hall."
"Their situation must be dire," Ling Yi said. "Some superpowers could have avoided this, but were too stubborn to leave their original grounds. Now, the other four superpowers have abandoned their sects and gathered at Mount Yushen."
"That’s not a bad choice," Zhang Menglong nodded. Mount Yushen excels in formations and mechanisms; their martial artists have the weakest individual strength, but if they hold the advantage of time and place, they’re the strongest!
The whole of Mount Yushen should be enveloped in powerful formations and mechanisms. Not even the Divine Profound Hall could easily breach them.
With the other four forces joining, notably Tianji Valley—masters of calculation and foresight—they should manage to sustain for a good while.
However, this situation can’t endure too long, as formations and mechanisms require energy; who knows if the Divine Profound Hall has gained intel on potential countermeasures from other superpower sources.
And given the Divine Profound Hall’s treachery, they might resort to any means, which could lead to a swift downfall.
"I initially planned to charge in directly," Zhang Menglong shrugged. "Now it seems we need to rescue some people first. Brothers, can you hold back?"
"We held out for three years; what’s a few more days?"
"Exactly, saving people is urgent. Today’s fight isn’t enough to vent our anger!"
"Let them wash their necks; we were hunted like dogs bereft of backbone—they’re in turn the ones to be chased now. Better keep them quaking in terror daily!"
"Alright!" Zhang Menglong nodded, "Then let’s rescue people first; we can avenge them anytime!"
