Chapter 833: Western Lands’ Unrest

Proofreader: Papatonks

Hum~

With barely a sound to announce their arrival, many tense figures filled a small path.

They weren’t the only ones, as on all the hills around were rows upon rows of people.

In front of the path was a man in black, with black hair and black eyes. His gaze chilled everyone to the bone despite the sun shining above.

“Who the hell are you to break Mystical Heaven Sect’s barrier?” One disciple in white shouted.

The man in black simply walked on with an eerie vibe around him.

The disciples shook, feeling sweat trailing down their brow, yet none made a move. They knew this man was in the Ethereal Stage.

Only elders could face such power.

“Heed me well, stranger! Stop right there. This isn’t the outside world where an Ethereal Stage expert can just walk wherever. This is the Mystical Heaven Sect, with many peak elders and venerables. You have no business stirring up things here!”

Another one barked at the man in black, not that he gave a damn, still walking on.

The disciples were getting tense, feeling something bad would happen.

Whoosh~

The disciple in front looked over at the sound and was overjoyed to see the Sect Leader and the venerables here.

The power of 7th, 8th and 9th layer Ethereal Stage flooded the area, giving the disciples confidence and safety.

Even below Ethereal Stage as they were, they could tell the man in black was only in the 1st layer. With the best of the sect arriving, they could squash the interloper with their thumb. This fact filled them with confidence.

The first disciple even grew smug, “Ha-ha-ha, I told you to leave while you can. Now that Sect Leader is here, you have no chance. There’ll be no mercy for anyone who steps into our sect!”

“Tch, like sect, like people. I was kind enough to spare you last time, but now look at you, all lively and forgetful of past misfortune. You’re even yapping at me, ha-ha-ha…” eastern fantasy

The man walked on uncarignly.

Sect Leader cupped his hands, “Sir, who are you? Which sect has come to Mystical Heaven Sect?”

Sect Leader was no fool like those disciples, being on his seat for centuries, he knew how to act.

Who cared if this guy was in the 1st layer. Did you know who had his back, or how strong they were? What kind of guy just waltzed in through a sect’s array set up with sacred stones? He had to be someone to do that.

It was common knowledge that such a man was representing the force behind him when he acted.

The floundering ignorant people would only earn a quick death at his hands. Only the sect grown disciples like Mystical Heaven Sect had would act like this too. The elders, however, knew more about the world, that cultivation wasn’t everything.

This gap in knowledge left the disciples stumped as to why Sect Leader showed such courtesy.

[He’s just in the 1st layer Ethereal Stage, Sect Leader? Why waste words with him? Are you scared?]

Sect Leader glared at them then sighed inside.

[These brats can only show off here, in the sect. Once they go out, they’ll be sure to step on someone’s toes and die without even knowing how.]

“Ha-ha-ha, Sect Leader Xuan, it’s been a while.”

The man in black stopped in front of him, revealing a familiar face, “Did you forget me already?”

Sect Leader Xuan narrowed his eyes, cupping his hands once he snapped out of it with gnashed teeth, “Zhuo Fan, you’re still alive, brat?”

“Fortune must smile upon me to come back from so many brushes with death.”

Zhuo Fan smirked, “You must know why I’m here, right?”

Sect Leader Xuan spat, “Why, it’s to take revenge, isn’t it?”

“Right you are.” Zhuo Fan spoke.

Sect Leader Xuan’s laughter was filled with sorrow, “Ha-ha-ha, you dare talk to me about vengeance? You took the life of my son!”

“Yep, I killed him.”

Zhuo Fan said, “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. I won’t deny it. You have all the right to attack me. However…”

Zhuo Fan’s eyes shone coldly, filled with bloodthirst. “You should’ve turned down Xie Wuyue instead of taking revenge on someone else. Demon Scheming Sect’s High Venerable is my revered master in Dao. I didn’t plan on nitpicking over this matter, but the killing of my master… “

“Ha-ha-ha, so now you know the pain of loss?”

Sect Leader Xuan cackled, “I see, the old coot mattered to you. If I knew, I’d have his corpse thrashed after Heaven Trailing Sword killed him. A son’s mistake is a father’s fault. A disciple’s fall is a master’s shortcoming. I should’ve taken all the rage I had for you on that old coot’s…”

Zhuo Fan’s brow shook, gnashing his teeth, “Say that again!”

“I’ll say it a hudndred times if I want to. I’ll thrash his body, maul it, butcher it. You came just in time. Once I kill you, I’ll go to the Demon Scheming Sect and take that old fool’s head so you two would enjoy being mutilated together to quell my hatred.”

Zhuo Fan’s face fell, showing a cruel smile, “I was going to go easy on Qingcheng’s master and fellow disciples, only coming to deal with you. But now, Mystical Heaven Sect has no place in this world!”

“You, want to destroy us?”

Sect Leader Xuan laughed like mad, “Ignoring the fact it’s impossible for you alone, even if you bring help like last time, it won’t do squat! Destroying a sect in western lands will have severe repercussion to you and them!”

Zhuo Fan smirked, his eyes flashing with savagery, “To a dead man like me, no rules of western lands can hold me. Mystical Heaven Sect will never see tomorrow ever again!”

Zhuo Fan shot straight for Sect Leader Xuan enveloped in black.

“Kill him!”

Sect Leader Xuan roared, leading the charge.

A flood of people came at Zhuo Fan, while his darkness spread to every corner, covering the world…

Three months later, the Heaven Reaching Pavilion in Double Dragon Manor.

The Exalted sat in their seats with tightened brows. Below them were fifty Ethereal Stage experts, the survivors of Beast Taming Sect.

“So you’re saying it’s all Demon Scheming Sect’s scheme?” Exalted Hei Ran’s piercing gaze washed over them.

The men bobbed hteir heads, “Exalted, it’s without a doubt their plan. They first wanted us to wear down Tianyu, helping them eliminate their traitors only so they could ambush our sect from behind, even destroying it. If not that, how else would our sect barrier be broken so easily and have our home in ruins? Maybe Sect Leader’s guard was down since we were in agreement with Xie Wuyue, giving him the chance to raid us. I ask that Exalted make it right, for our righteous Beast Taming Sect…”

Bam!

Exalted Hei Ran slammed the table, barking, “Damn that Xie Wuyue! I warned him not to cause trouble. Does he realy think I’m blind to his twisted methods? I overlooked it this time but he actually went as far as bringing outsiders to weaken his sect.”

“Exalted is right. Xie Wuyue is vile and repulsive.” Beast Taming Sect’s elders echoed at once.

It only worked to have Exalted Hei Ran vent on them, “You fools aren’t any better. His sect had gotten peaceful again yet you stepped in as well?”

“We’ll take Exalted’s lesson to heart.” The elders bobbed their heads. Exalted Hei Ran snorted and glared, “What now? Your entire sect is gone?”

“Hei Ran, let’s leave this matter for now. The most important thing is if the Demon Scheming Sect really did it or not.”

Exalted Bai Mei spoke, “Demon Scheming Sect’s power aside, will he really have the nerve to do such an outrageous act? The conflicts between the nine sects would never go as far as total annihilation. Everyone in western lands knows that. The minute a sect violates it, the others will remove it. Would he actually do such a thing? But if it’s not Demon Scheming Sect, then who? In one night, not a single soul was left in the sect…”

Exalted Hei Ran frowned…

“Report!”

A Double Dragon Manor’s elder scrambled to present a jade slip with trembling hands and pale face. “Exalted, the Demon Scheming Sect and Mystical Heaven Sect have been destroyed in the span of a day!”

[What?!]

The two shot to their feet in shock.

Beast Taming Sect’s elders were stunned.

[Demon Scheming Sect is gone as well? So it’s not them who ruined ours?]

[Did we blame the wrong person…]
