Today was a miserable day for the Sunshine Sect. Clouds the color of lead loomed across the sect, as every member of the Sunshine sect had left with a heavy heart.
Numerous disciples looked towards the gigantic pit far away in a daze, unable to believe the current situation. An Eight-Winged Spiritual Ark had self-destructed, causing a terrifying explosion in the sect. If the elites of the Sunshine sect had not suppressed the explosion, the consequences would be unimaginable. “Who? Who did this?” An elder who was covered in blood yelled. He had not expected such a disaster to take place. The impact was not something that would occur from just an Eight-Winged Spiritual Ark’s self-destruction, as the fuel the Sunshine sect used could not create such a massive explosion.
But when they felt the explosion’s impact, everybody was dumbfounded as the force from the blast was too strong for anyone to withstand. Only a Yuan Crystal would be able to cause such an explosion, and it must be the purest grade of Yuan Crystal. Plop!
Numerous disciples fell to the ground. Their mighty Brave soul memorial had been destroyed, and now, there was only a deep hole where the Brave soul memorial once stood.
The Brave soul memorial was a huge source of pride and also their home after death.
Every Sunshine sect disciple wished to be buried in the Brave soul memorial when their life came to an end. It signifies glory and eternal remembrance.
But now, there was nothing left.
Just then, a few people could be seen climbing out of the pit. They dashed towards the Sect’s palace and kneeled.
“Patriarch, we are done with the investigation.” They said calmly. But despite their calmness, it was evident that they were in great fear. The self-destruction of the Eight-Winged Spiritual Ark at the Brave soul memorial had resulted in significant losses and enormous casualties.
It might not be caused by them, but they were aware of how furious the patriarch was. He was so angry that he might burn the whole sect into ashes.
*”Speak.” The huge figure in the dark said. It was as if the patriarch was one with darkness. They also felt like there were many pairs of eyes staring around them.*
The pairs of eyes were hidden in the dark. Not were they hidden, but they were also silent.
Despite this, the people knew that they were the sect’s upper management, and they held the sect’s life and death in their hands.
“Somebody drove the Eight-Winged spiritual ark towards the Brave Soul Memorial intentionally. From our investigation, the iexplosion’s impactis only possible if pure Yuan crystals fueled the ark. Furthermore, this Spiritual Ark belongs to Fu Dosheng. So your disciples suspect that this might be the doing of the Magnificent Flame Sect.” The person kneeling on the ground answered, his voice shaking
At the same time, a few people could be seen dashing into the palace. With a loud plop, they kneeled.
“Patriarch, please spare our lives, we beg you!” These disciples were those who were guarding the sect entrance at that time. Their job was to stop any flying transport that was coming into the skies of the Sunshine sect.
However, it was not that they missed out the ark, but because they recognized it to be Fu Dosheng’s spiritual ark. That’s the reason why they did not stop the ark, as Fu Dosheng was the sect’s God’s son, and he held a high status in the sect.
Moreover, they were under Fu Dosheng, and there was no reason for them to stop their Senior brother.
But when they heard the explosion, they were dumbfounded. That was when they realised that they had made a grave mistake.
Currently, silence has taken over the palace. There wasn’t any single noise to be heard/
“The guard is such an important position, and this is how you do your job?” A gloomy and terrifying voice could be heard coming from the dark. It made the disciples who were kneeling down tremble in fear.
Their hands and feet were so cold that it felt like they were currently in a freezer.
“Patriarch, please spare our lives!” *They desperately kowtowed, *hoping that their lives would be spared. However, what worried them the most was to be punished to live a life that’s worse than death. Suddenly, movement could be seen in the still darkness. A few black coloured figures which resembled shadows could be seen coming out, surrounding the disciples who were kneeling down.
“AHH! Patriarch, please spare our lives…”
Coloured drained from the disciples’ face as they screamed their lungs out. They were filled with fear.
Bang!
Blood splattered all over the place, and a pool of blood could be seen on the ground. Pieces of flesh could be seen everywhere.
The disciples who were sent to investigate the explosion gulped, beads of cold sweat rolled down their foreheads. They were shaking in fear, and no one dared to utter a word.
They knew that the patriarch was angered as the entire sect was ravaged too.
The Brave Soul Memorial was an important place for the Sunshine Sect as it held great significance.
…
The Six O’clock fortress. An important base that was located near the border of the Sunshine sect.
Currently, the fortress was filled with curses and screams.
“Don’t be lazy. Hurry up and get to work!” A tanned Sunshine Sect disciple said, whipping a man in a T-shirt.
A bloody wound could be seen on the man’s body. He took in a deep breath in pain. He wanted to rest badly, but he knew he shouldn’t because he would end up as being beast food if he did.
In this huge area, many captives could be seen transporting huge rocks no less than a hundred catty; some even weigh more than a few thousand catty to somewhere where they built and mended the defensive walls of the Sunshine Sect.
Just then, amongst the captives, a few of them could be seen together. They exchanged glances silently and nodded at each other. They were so subtle that nobody took notice of them.
“You’re dying to die, huh? Stand up!”
Just then, shouting could be heard coming from afar. A Sunshine sect with a huge whip on his hand gave a man a violent beating. The man fell to the ground, rolling in pain.
The other captives were angry to see such a scene. But they knew very well that if they were to go against the Sunshine Sect disciples, they will end up dead too. There’s nobody here who could save him.
Not after long, the man who was being whipped continuously laid on the ground motionless.
The Sunshine sect disciple took a glance at him and sighed. “Trash. You’re useless when you’re dead. You’re now only useful as the beast’s food.”
He then flicked his wrist, swinging the whip over and coiling it around the man’s ankle. With a fling, he threw him towards somewhere far away and he was taken away to be the beast’s food.
“Work hard! Tell me if you can’t do it anymore, alright? I’ll send you to be fed to the beasts.”
Nobody dared to go against him. In fact, most already gave up. They were prepared to spend their lives here forever. There was once a protest, but it ended tragically. They were all massacred.
The Heaven Star Border elite who guarded the fortress killed everyone that went against him himself. After that, the captives have lost all hope.
Amongst them, a few could be heard cursing silently. However, they had their eyes stuck a distance away, secretly waiting for their chance that would be soon to come.
Outside the Six O’clock fortress, in a hideout.
A group could be seen creeping in the hideout. They have remained in this position for some time, waiting for a chance to come.
A middle-aged man was staring at the entrance of the Six O’clock fortress. “Get ready. We only have one chance. Li Chongshan will leave the Six O’clock fortress with three of his assistants to travel to Bu Luo city. We need to rescue everyone while he’s away.”
“I’m skeptical about the news of Qian Ji of the Six mysterious regions cave being killed. I wonder who’s so powerful to kill Qian Ji. If true, this is absolutely terrific!” A woman said excitedly. It was as if she had not expected it. “It should be true. If Qian Ji was not killed, why would Li Chongshan leave the Six O’clock fortress with his assistents. And if that did not happen, we would not get this chance.” As soon as the middle-aged man finished his words, shouting could be heard from the Six O’clock fortress. “Move.”
Whoosh!
Within no time, the group turned into rays of light and shot towards the entrance of the Six O’clock fortress. When the disciples guarding realized that there was somebody coming towards the entrance, a bloody cut was already on his neck. Blood gushed out all over the place.
The woman held a dagger in her hands and looked at the corpse in disdain before rejoining the group. Fast, clean and smooth.
On the spot, the spies of the organization got to work too. They immediately killed the Sunshine Sect disciples next to them and shouted at those who were in a daze. “What are you looking at? Pick up your weapons and let’s escape! Hurry!”
They cooperated well and were prepared to rescue everyone before anyone in the Six O’clock fortress realized.
“Leader, over here.” A man hiding amongst the captives shouted.
Xiong Liebai lead the rest and went towards them, gathering together.
“Shui Xiu, we should leave.” Xiong Liebai shouted to the woman who was killing the Sunshine Sect disciples.
“Yes, leader.” Shui Xiu answered, killing another Sunshine Sect disciple and retreating. The other captives watch this scene in a daze. ~There were walls built with giant rocks surrounding them, how were they supposed to leave? Even if they can bring us out by jumping over the walls, they cannot do so for everybody!~ Boom!
At this moment, a bang could be heard. As if something has bombarded the giant walls, a huge hole could be seen in the middle.
A beast’s cry could be heard across the area.
A big sized bear a few meters tall punched a hole in the strong wall.
“Beast…” Seeing the beast, the captives were in fear. They were afraid of how fierce the beast looked.
“Leader, I’m here!” Just then, a kid’s voice could be heard coming from behind the beast. A child with a green hat and robes made out of leather appeared on the bear’s head, looking as if he was controlling the beast. “Seed, you’re good.” Shui Xiu smiled at the child.
The child was one of them. When they discovered him, he was living with a group of beasts, and he was able to make the beasts follow his orders. It’s been years since he joined them.
With seed’s ability, the organization never had to fear beasts again. They could even make use of beasts to scout. When they came across any enemies, they would be able to leave instantly. But with Seed’s current ability, he could only control beasts that were below the Earth Star Border Stage four.
And this bear was an Earth Star Border Stage Three Violent Flame Bear.
“Of course, because I’m seed!” The child said proudly. But suddenly, a ray of light came towards the child.
“Roar!” Feeling danger, the Violent Fire Bear threw the child off and let out an angry growl, blocking the ray of light with its body. “Pui!”
The ray of light cut the Violent Flame Bear into half. A pool of blood could be seen on the ground.
Seed’s eyes opened wide in horror seeing the scene. “Tie Xiong!” He screamed in disbelief.
“I see that you guys really came, huh?” Just then, a voice could be heard and a figure appeared from far.
Xiong Liebai looked over. “Li Chongshan…” He said, colour draining from his face.
He had never thought that Li Chongshan, the guard of the Six O’clock fortress would still be around. ~What’s going on?
“Easy prey. Organizations like you guys are really stubborn, huh? However, you guys are too careless. How dare you come to Six O’clock fortress? But since you’re here, stay forever.” Li Chongshan grabbed a giant rock and threw it at the hole, blocking it.
“Lord, you’re so great!” A member of Xiong Liebai group rushed over, kneeling on the ground. He looked at Xiong Liebai respectfully.
“You sold us out!?” Shui Xiu shouted.
Li Chongsan smiled evilly at the person. “Be at ease. The wealth I promised you will be given to you.”
“Thank you, Lord.”
“Plop!”
The next second, the person’s head was being severed from his body.
“Enjoy them in hell.”
