Chapter 480: Chapter 216: Huoxin

RUMBLE! CRASH!

For a moment, it felt as if mountains were collapsing and a tsunami was roaring!

"Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect, Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, you’ve done well!"

An enraged voice rang out, seemingly carrying a terrifying power. All the disciples who heard it felt their heads suddenly grow heavy, then their eyes snapped wide and fixed.

The next moment, they began roaring like madmen, their eyes turning bloodshot as they drew their swords and lunged at their own sect-mates!

Qin Fang felt an uncontrollable impulse, a desire to destroy everything around him. His killing intent surged, threatening to overwhelm him!

His hand even started to lift, but he instantly forced it down and hurriedly entered a state of Contemplation.

Once he entered the state of Contemplation, the feeling of being on the verge of losing control vanished instantly.

But the disciples around him had bloodshot eyes... especially those from the Luzhan Lineage. Their eyes instantly turned crimson as they began drawing their swords and wildly attacking everyone around them!

Qin Fang’s pupils contracted!

’...That voice actually contains a mysterious power that can control minds and stir up the desire to kill?!’

More and more disciples were falling under its influence, and they had even begun to slaughter one another in a frenzy...

"Clouds part, the moon peeps at the sky; wind brushes the water, leaving no trace."

Then, a gentle voice suddenly rang out.

The next moment, a vast wave of Divine Sense washed over them.

All the disciples felt their minds suddenly lighten. A moment later, the crimson vanished from their eyes, and their clarity returned.

They stood stunned for a moment, but as they recalled what they had just been doing, they all gasped in horror.

Qin Fang immediately looked up and saw Yun Guanyu floating above, the vertical silver mark between his brows shining brilliantly.

His complexion, however, was pale, as if he were struggling to resist something.

"Stirring killing intent, controlling the masses... It seems you are Venerable Huoxin of the Path of Non-Birth."

A cold, indifferent voice rang out.

Qin Fang recognized it... It was the Sect Leader’s voice.

"To lay such a grand trap, not even hesitating to use the lives of my sect’s disciples as bait... Was it all just to lure me out?"

As that first voice spoke again, Qin Fang, even in his state of Contemplation, felt a ripple of killing intent stir deep in his heart!

He couldn’t help but gasp.

The other disciples turned even paler, their bodies trembling.

High above, the silver mark on Yun Guanyu’s brow flickered violently.

His brow was furrowed, and his face grew increasingly pale.

’...He’s clearly struggling to resist.’

"The Path of Non-Birth steals the vitality of all creation for its own sake and refines the souls and bones of the masses in pursuit of a false path... There is nothing more to say to such a demonic and heretical cult. Let’s do this."

As his words fell, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the heavens.

Light filled the sky as the ground trembled even more violently. The earth cracked apart, and the surging waters of the Great Cloud Marsh churned and roiled.

No one could keep their footing.

The expressions on the faces of the Cultists grew even more pious. They began to drone a prayer, and the sound made the nearby disciples’ heads grow heavy again as the killing intent in their eyes surged uncontrollably.

"Levitate! Calm your hearts! Enter Contemplation!"

Yun Guanyu’s voice thundered out... This time, he wasn’t reciting a poem, but speaking directly.

The instant he spoke, his Divine Sense surged, clearing the disciples’ minds for a moment. Their faces changed drastically. Daring not to be careless, they all shot into the air and entered a state of Contemplation mid-flight!

Qin Fang also shot into the sky. He had remained in a state of Contemplation, so the strange power of the Path of Non-Birth had little effect on him.

However, the other disciples were clearly still affected, even while in Contemplation!

Qin Fang stared intently into the distance...

’Venerable Huoxin?’

’So he’s the one behind this attack from the Path of Non-Birth?’

’...This Venerable Huoxin is terrifying.’

’His voice contains the power to incite killing intent!’

’If Yun Guanyu hadn’t intervened repeatedly, these disciples would have already started slaughtering each other!’

’...Is Senior Brother Yun really that strong?’

Thinking of this, Qin Fang couldn’t help but glance at Yun Guanyu again...

Yun Guanyu’s face was slightly pale, and the vertical silver mark between his brows was overflowing with light.

’...Looking at his expression now, it’s hard to imagine...’

’...that this man’s memory only lasts for seven seconds!’

’...But I have to admit, the Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill of the Celestial Martial Lineage is truly terrifying.’

’And it’s also really cool.’

’Using poetry as a medium to repeatedly thwart the Path of Non-Birth’s spiritual attacks...’

’...Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill...’

A glint appeared in Qin Fang’s eyes.

But he quickly looked away, turning his gaze toward the place where the light on the ground was boiling.

Several flashes of Light and Shadow flickered within it, and terrifying power churned, but he couldn’t see what was happening over there at all.

Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out.

Qin Fang frowned and instinctively looked down.

He saw the Cultists of the Path of Non-Birth, heads tilted toward the sky in poses of pious fanaticism. And then, one by one, their heads exploded.

In the blink of an eye, the heads of several thousand Path of Non-Birth Cultists had completely shattered, turning them into mangled corpses.

’...They’re all dead.’

As they died, the Returning Ruins Flesh Puppets that Qin Fang had frozen nearby completely lost their Vitality, turning into chunks of dead meat...

"Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect, what a move. This favor you’ve shown me today... I... will remember it."

Just then, Venerable Huoxin’s voice rang out once more.

Qin Fang immediately whipped his head around to look.

He saw a streak of Profound Light suddenly burst from the glowing light on the ground and shoot into the distance, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"Trying to run?"

Someone snorted coldly. The next instant, several streaks of light shot off in pursuit.

In the blink of an eye, they were gone.

There was no telling where the chase had led.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

The surviving disciples, still hovering high in the air, exchanged glances.

Looking down below,

The great marsh was surging, the ground was shattered, and massive waves were washing inland, sweeping away all the corpses and Flesh Puppets on the ground as if to devour them.

Just then, a wave of yellow light surged forth, enveloping the entire world.

Instantly, the crumbling ground stopped, and even the churning waters were suppressed!

"The battle is over. All disciples are to return to the sect... Others will clean up this place."

A gentle voice echoed.

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment... It was his Master’s voice.

As Yue Guiyuan spoke, the disciples finally came to their senses. They exchanged glances, then respectfully accepted the order. "Yes, sir."

Led by Yue Shan, the disciples took to the sky and returned to the sect.

Qin Fang, however, did not move. He flew to his Master’s side.

"Master."

His Master nodded slightly. "I know what you’re worried about. Rest assured, your old friend is already within the sect... Go back for now. I’ll come find you later."

Qin Fang’s heart trembled. After a long moment of silence, he gave a slight bow, then turned and shot into the sky, following the main group...
