After the Sword Gate War, the Daoist Sect was in shock, and the common people were terrified.
With the power of the Seven Stars Aligned, the Seven Star Sword Technique unleashed its maximum destructive force, obliterating Jiangnan City. Countless lives were lost, making people realize the terrifying nature of those from the Daoist Sect. The threat posed by the Daoist Sect was comparable to war, even more despairing than war itself.
Yang Hao's reputation spread like wildfire. If the Seven Star Sword had such power, the Evil Weapon was an even greater threat.
The Evil Weapon had slain the Sect Leader and injured the Supreme, surpassing Dao Tools and overshadowing the Sacred Artifacts and divine tools of Ancient Transmission. It truly commanded respect from the Taoist School.
No one knew that Zhang Xing, who had just risen to fame, had died at the hands of an unknown individual. The name Song Qianqiu was not yet well-known; only a few knew he was a traitor from the once-great Azure Cloud Sect, likely dead in one of the many battles against the Daoist Sect.
At this moment, at the entrance of the mountains where the Western Divine Serpent Sect was located, a hundred fully armed War Kings followed Li Fugui as they advanced toward the Serpent Cult.
These individuals were War Kings from various military districts, each seasoned in battle with exceptional skills. Yu Xuanliang had ordered Li Fugui to lead them to the Divine Serpent Cult Headquarters to eliminate all remaining members in one fell swoop.
Li Fugui said, "Each of you is a renowned War King from your respective military districts, but none have cultivated Dao Qi. Relying solely on Qi Gong will make it difficult to contend with experts from the Daoist Sect in Mahayana Realm and Tribulation Realm. Once we enter, eliminate all remnants of the Serpent Cult as quickly as possible. If you see Nangong Yun and Nangong, work with me to take them down swiftly; do not let them activate forbidden techniques."
"Understood," replied the War Kings in unison.
Moments later, Li Fugui led his men into Serpent Cult territory. These War Kings were battle-hardened and had a strong sense of danger; even when facing experts from the Daoist Sect, they remained calm. During the Dark Turmoil Period, military personnel could contend with those from the Daoist Sect not only due to advanced weaponry but also because of indispensable War King-level experts whose physical prowess was beyond human limits.
One War King said, "General, we've entered their territory, yet there are no guards. Is something wrong?"
Li Fugui furrowed his brow, sensing something unusual as well.
"Wait here; I'll go in and take a look," Li Fugui instructed as he picked up his Black Spear and entered a cave. After a while, he emerged unscathed, murmuring to himself, "There’s no reason for them not to be here; what has happened?"
"General, what should we do now?" one of the War Kings asked.
Li Fugui replied, "Blow up the Machine Wall of the Serpent Cult; we’ll bring this mountain down."
The War Kings received their orders. They buried the explosives at the fortress of the Serpent Cult's building. When the bombs detonated, the mountain collapsed with a thunderous roar, and the entire Serpent Cult was reduced to rubble, buried underground. The few disciples hiding inside who guarded the sect also perished.
No one expected that there would still be an attack on the main hall at this moment.
The Machine Wall lay buried in the ruins of the Refining Fire Hall. Amidst the dust and smoke, faint glimmers of fire could be seen; that was the place where the divine serpent of the Serpent Cult was nourished.
Suddenly, a furious roar echoed as a giant serpent emerged, charging towards them.
As a remnant of Panlong, the giant serpent's body was covered in scales, impervious to blades and bullets. One War King, undeterred by superstition, raised his Steel Knife and thrust it towards the serpent's head. The serpent violently swung its body, sending this War King crashing down. Although he evaded the serpent's bite with incredible speed, he had barely landed when a massive tail crushed him into a pulp.
The giant serpent surged through the crowd, scattering them as they hastily drew their golden crossbows. They fired in unison, piercing through its scales. The tail still clutched by one War King struggled against their bindings, but these crossbows were specially crafted; even though the serpent was an ancient beast, it found it difficult to escape.
With a sharp sound, Li Fugui's Black Spear pierced through the top of the giant serpent's head. The serpent let out a horrific scream and opened its mouth to unleash flames. Li Fugui quickly jumped aside, allowing others to flee. This serpent had lived for ages in molten flames, feeding on fire energy. It was extraordinarily bizarre; combined with how the Serpent Cult nurtured it with fire, even if a War King got burned, there would be no way out.
Two War Kings were caught off guard and were scorched by Poison Fire; within moments they turned to bloody pulp and fell lifelessly to the ground.
The giant serpent's head was pierced by the Black Spear. This Black Spear was no ordinary weapon; it was a treasure obtained during Dark Turmoil when Yu Xuanliang eradicated the Daoist Sect. It possessed extraordinary power against those from the Daoist Sect; once struck, they would continuously suffer from its corrosive force, tainting their Dao Qi. Now that the giant serpent had been pierced through its brain, it screamed in agony.
Despite its injuries and shedding scales, the giant serpent attempted to flee into the distance, dragging golden crossbow strings behind it. Li Fugui snorted in frustration as he watched it escape. "In the end, we let this beast get away. Let’s pursue it!"
Somewhere beneath the dunes of Dunhuang, members of the Serpent Cult had gathered, led by Nangong Yun and Nangong, while Yu Youya stood silently behind Nangong.
Nangong Yun's face was pale, his lips cracked. Nangong Lin was feeding him water while asking, "Grandfather, how are you feeling? Should we go back? With your current condition, you won't stand a chance against the Three Great Monks."
Nangong Yun shook his head. "I just didn't expect the Evil Weapon to be so powerful that it could split apart my Dao Body. Right now, I'm severely injured, and that boy will definitely be unconscious. Using an Evil Weapon like this, which goes against Divine Weapons, how could I not suffer backlash? If we can capture that Living Buddha now and transfer my Dao Body into him, I can achieve the Living Buddha's Golden Body and then deal with those people!"
Nangong Yun looked at Nangong. "What are you still doing here? Go check out Leiyin Temple and see who is there!"
Nangong turned to an Elder of the Divine Serpent Sect and said, "You go investigate..."
"I told you to go!" Nangong Yun shouted angrily. "What good will it do to send these useless fools? They’ll be noticed before they even get close. Do you think my orders are a joke?"
"Old Master, please calm down. Why not let your subordinates check?" Yu Youya suggested.
"You are even more useless!" Nangong Yun retorted. "As a former leader and a strong figure in the Mahayana Realm, I truly don't understand why I would choose a Nascent Soul Realm waste as my right-hand man. If Meng Xuanjian weren't busy with another task I assigned him, I wouldn't need to rely on you incompetent fools!"
"Grandfather, please don't be angry. You've been seriously injured; it's not good for your health," Nangong Lin said.
Nangong snorted and turned toward Leiyin Temple. Watching Nangong leave, Nangong Yun sighed and said, "Your father has always been stubborn. If it weren't for him being the leader and your father, I would have struck him down with a single palm by now!"
No one dared to refute Nangong Yun's words; after all, as a Supreme in the Tribulation Realm, even the leader couldn't resist him. Nangong Lin added, "Actually, Father has been very concerned about you all these years."
"You don't need to speak well of him. The fact that he doesn't want to kill me is already a good thing. If he had even half of your filial piety, I wouldn't have to be on guard against him all the time. It's truly sad when family members turn against each other," Nangong Yun sighed.
"Nangong Lin said, 'By the way, Grandpa, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you come back?'
Nangong Yun replied, 'Naturally, I went to accomplish something significant. I am teaching a fire Daoist Technique from the Sacred Artifact, the Sun Refining Cauldron, called the Sun Refining Technique. Once this Sun Refining Technique is mastered, it can slay gods and demons, and even kill immortals and Buddhas. It would not be an exaggeration to say it ranks as the top forbidden technique of the Daoist Sect. The mystery of the Sun Refining Cauldron is about to be unraveled. Elder Meng Xuanjian is guarding it. Once I obtain the Living Buddha's Golden Body, I will go to the cauldron and take you to see it.'
Nangong Lin said, 'The Sun Refining Cauldron should be one of the Eight Sacred Artifacts of the Daoist Sect. Is it appropriate for Elder Meng Xuanjian to guard it?'
Nangong Yun replied, 'Meng Xuanjian is my sworn brother; he is closer than a biological brother. Having him guard it is more suitable than any of those useless drunks your father found.'
Nangong Yun snorted dismissively, ignoring the awkwardness among the others.
After a while, Nangong returned and said, 'Leiyin Temple is currently giving a sermon, led by Haideng and Sky Master. The Three Divine Monks have not been spotted anywhere.'
Nangong Yun said, 'This is a great opportunity. The three old bald donkeys are nearing their end; they need to meditate and retreat often to extend their lives. Haideng and Haikong are not a concern; we can catch them off guard.'
Nangong Lin said, 'Grandpa, winning without fighting is the best strategy. If our Serpent Cult clashes with Leiyin Temple now, we might end up with nothing left but a bare commander. I do have an idea that can lure out the Living Buddha.'"
