Kill!
With a furious roar, Lu Chen led a group of Disciples in a charge.
Lu Chen? Your demonic poison has flared—how dare you court death?
Liu Feng's face showed a flicker of surprise, then turned to disdain.
Two days earlier he had accidentally learned from a few Loose Cultivator women that Lu Chen had suffered a demonic backlash.
There was no way Lu Chen could have recovered his cultivation so quickly.
Court death? You cuckoos have stolen our nest—do you really think the Purple Nether Sect has no one left?
Lu Chen sneered and summoned the Earth-Grade Low Grade soul shattering spear.
Purple light unique to an Earth-Grade Spiritual Artifact coiled around the spear, shrouding Lu Chen in mystery.
An earth-grade spirit tool? Lu Chen, you've been blessed by dog-shit luck!
Liu Feng's face darkened as he drew an Intermediate-grade gold-backed cleaver.
He circulated his Cultivation Technique and slashed, shattering a ten-thousand-jin boulder—revealing his Peak ninth-stage Huolong power without question.
Sensing his aura, the Disciples and Elders of the Purple Nether Sect twitched; Peak of the human Domain—terrifying!
Drive the rest out of the Secret Realm. A mere human-Domain Liu Feng is for This Sect Master to handle.
With that, Lu Chen leveled his spear and charged Liu Feng.
Boom!
Void God Realm power erupted as Lu Chen thrust out a tyrannical strike!
Liu Feng's heart sank; he clenched his teeth and unleashed his blade art.
Hundred-man Slaughter!
The long blade flickered between existence and void, splitting into a hundred blade-lights that surged like a tide.
Yet the lights only hit an after-image.
Lu Chen employed the Traveling Dragon Movement Technique, weaving through the Void like a dragon, then whipped his spear from the flank into Liu Feng's waist.
Crack!
The blow, massive and heavy, snapped Liu Feng's lumbar spine!
Agh!
Liu Feng vomited blood and collapsed like a dead dog.
Lu Chen descended from the sky and stomped on his head!
Bang! The skull burst!
Liu Feng was utterly dead.
Lu Chen turned, a sinister smile on his lips. Leave none of the Cangming Sect alive!
Half an hour later every last member of the Cangming Sect had been slain.
The Purple Nether Sect was elated; with this Low Grade Spiritual Vein they would never again lack Spirit Stones for their Spirit-Gathering Formation.
Lu Chen told the Second and Third Elders, From today onward the Xuanxiao Secret Realm is closed to outsiders.
Any Loose Cultivators who wish may join our Purple Nether Sect—women preferred!
Lu Chen was determined to build a powerful Sect and attract talented, high-quality female cultivators.
When Lu Chen exited the Secret Realm, Mu Hei had already slain the garrison Elder Qin Yun of the Cangming Sect; after a brief report he returned to the Sect.
Liu Feng and company had died without a sound.
Three days passed before the Cangming Sect noticed—Damn it! Lu Chen dared kill our Vice Sect Master?
In the Cangming Sect Council Hall the speaker was a man in his twenties named Gu Fei.
He flashed a cruel grin and roared at those below, Drag the slut from my bedchamber—this Young Lord will kill her!
Moments later a woman of six-to-seven-point beauty was dragged in.
She wore only a loose sleeping robe that could barely contain her.
Had Lu Chen been present he would have recognized her at once.
She was the Loose Cultivator woman Mu Hei had pushed into his arms that day.
Slut! You said Lu Chen captured you to cure his poison—yet he killed our Vice Sect Master and his cultivation hasn't dropped at all!
Gu Fei seized her hair and snarled, Speak! Are you a spy sent by the Purple Nether Sect to seduce me with your body?
This Young Lord's methods of torture are no gentler than Lu Chen's—confess!
Because of her false intel they had lost a sixth-stage and a Peak ninth-stage Huolong expert.
A disastrous loss!
Master, I didn't…I devoted everything to you—spare me!
The woman sobbed in terror; she was only Cave Heaven Realm and had hoped the information would please Gu Fei.
She never expected it would cost her life.
Master, I have a set of Purple Nether Sect Disciple robes, she whispered.
The moment Gu Fei heard this his eyes lit up.
He changed his tune—Lu Chen is truly cunning! Scram for now; tonight this Young Lord will make you wish you were dead!
After kicking her away Gu Fei opened a letter and finally looked relieved.
Elders, my father has sent word: he has gained the support of the Fifth Elder of the Profound Thunder Sword Sect and will soon return with Sword Sect Disciples.
Gu Fei's father, Gu Wudao, had once been a Disciple of the Sword Sect's Fifth Elder but was expelled for violating a major taboo.
Later Gu Wudao founded the Cangming Sect right here.
Because of the Spiritual Vein in the Xuanxiao Secret Realm he had rushed to the Sword Sect days ago to request a Void God Realm expert to stand guard.
Excellent! The Fifth Elder is a True God Realm powerhouse—with his support the Purple Nether Sect will be crushed with a flick of the wrist!
He dares kill our people—this time we'll show Lu Chen our might!
Exactly! With Sword Sect Disciples backing us, Lu Chen is nothing but a roadside cur!
The Elders were ecstatic; the Low Grade Spiritual Vein of the Xuanxiao Secret Realm would be theirs again.
Only regrettable is that the Fifth Elder's appetite is huge—he demands fifty percent of the vein's Spirit Stones!
Gu Fei's face darkened; fifty percent meant no less than a million Spirit Stones, a fortune that would rain from the heavens for a True God powerhouse!
Young Lord, take the long view! With the vein we can buy Formation Plates and Medicinal Pills for cultivation.
In time our Sect can rise to eighth rank—maybe even seventh!
Hearing this, Gu Fei finally felt better.
Suddenly he asked, Does anyone know the identity of the woman Lu Chen married?
The Elders exchanged blank glances.
One said, She's never shown her face; no one knows what she looks like or even her name…
Heh, she must be hideous—Lu Chen's too ashamed to parade her around!
Or the marriage is just a cover. I hear the Purple Nether Sect is expanding madly, recruiting Disciples—women first!
As they chattered Gu Fei laughed, So it must be—Lu Chen Cultivates an evil art and needs a stockpile of Cauldrons, hence this scheme!
I must say, Lu Chen is a Genius at raising Cauldrons!
The meeting ended in laughter and merriment.
That night the female cultivator entered Gu Fei's room just as promised.
Master, I'm here, she cooed.
Slut, tonight this Young Lord will show you the price of getting a Peak ninth-stage Huolong expert killed!
Gu Fei's face twisted with savage lust…
