At this moment, Fengming Town was in chaos, with bodies strewn everywhere. A few Golden-Bordered Black Robe Men were high above, busy with something, completely indifferent to the bloody scene below.
Aside from the Cultivators who managed to escape in time, Fengming Town was now nearly deserted. Only dark figures moved back and forth within the town, busy with their tasks, while no other silhouettes could be seen.
"How long has it been since we wiped out an entire town with four teams of Golden Punishment?" Xing Kong gazed into the distance, his thoughts drifting elsewhere.
"I, Xing Kong, think this is quite good. The world is almost forgetting our Dark Realm's existence," Xing E replied with a cold laugh at Xing Kong's words.
"Regardless of how it is, this incident has caused quite a stir. Did the higher-ups take something wrong? They are being so blatant in not giving face to the Celestial Realm," a lazy Golden-Bordered Black Robe Man chimed in.
"Xian Lan, I really don't know how you became the captain. Isn't it better to kill more people? The rewards remain unchanged anyway," Xing Yun expressed his disdain for Xian Lan but knew he wasn't his match and could only provoke him verbally.
"Do as you please; I really don't want to deal with the rest. I'd rather find a place to take a long nap," Xian Lan said, yawning and stretching. His eyes had a look of someone who seemed like they hadn't woken up in ages, which was hard to reconcile with his status as one of the top ten in the Dark Realm's Golden Execution Squad.
"What kind of person is our target? Even now, the information from above is still unclear. This has never happened before; when did we become so poor in intelligence?" Xing Kong's dissatisfaction was evident in his words.
"The identity of the target hasn't been confirmed yet, but I think you all should know about the Witch. What a pity for such a beauty!" Xian Lan's mood seemed somewhat excited at this moment.
"Damn it, you may be lazy, but hearing about a beauty gives you energy. However, the main focus of this mission is actually on a ruthless character next to the target," Xing E said, surprisingly serious for once, even when facing the town's defensive formation.
"A ruthless character?" Xing Yun looked puzzled; he had been temporarily reassigned and was still unclear about some specifics.
"Yes, according to my sources, at least two teams of Golden Punishment have fallen at his feet, and each time he used different methods. It is said that his mastery of formations rivals that of several ancient masters on the continent," Xing E stated. If he hadn't received reliable information, he wouldn't have believed it himself.
"Two teams of Golden Punishment? He truly is a ruthless character," Xian Lan remarked suddenly, revealing an expression that was entirely inconsistent with his usual demeanor as bloodlust flickered in his eyes.
"What? Are you interested in him?" Xing E asked as he looked at Xian Lan.
"Are you not interested?" Xian Lan returned to his previous lazy demeanor.
"Interest? Of course I have it. My interest is to personally take that ruthless person's head and turn it into a wine goblet," Xing E laughed heartily.
"Tch, how boring." Xian Lan knew that Xing E had this twisted hobby of decapitating his opponents and preserving their heads as trophies in his Storage Ring. Even Xian Lan had no idea how many such head trophies he had collected.
"Speed up the clearing process. I estimate that the people ahead won't be able to hold out much longer. This is a Deadly Strike plan, and we cannot afford any mistakes. I refuse to believe that gathering four teams of Golden Punishment can't take down that person," Xing Kong waved his hand, as if rallying them. However, all four knew that Xing Luan's cultivation was absolutely superior to any of theirs, and with the Heavenly Immortal Stab, it was even possible for him to escape unscathed from their combined efforts.
Yet, such a formidable figure had been taken down by a single blow, showcasing the strength of their opponent.
"If the other side is so powerful, why don't we have any information on him?" Xing Yun suddenly asked. The other three were taken aback.
Indeed, with Dark Realm's capabilities, how could they not know anything about their opponent? It was as if this person had appeared out of thin air. It couldn't be ruled out that he was being kept under wraps like Zhao Yanwu, but that was unlikely; the target was only Zhao Yanwu, and this time the opponent could not possibly have known about the mission in advance.
If it were a "Guardian" specially arranged by the other side, that too seemed implausible; in any case, Zuo Dao was just an enigmatic figure.
"Unless he came from the lower realms and hasn't undergone Celestial Pool Baptism. Only then would we in Dark Realm have no information about him," Xian Lan said slowly.
"Is that even possible?" The listeners rolled their eyes in unison. Upon hearing the others' responses, Xian Lan couldn't help but chuckle. How could someone stand in Celestial Realm without undergoing Celestial Pool Baptism? Moreover, killing over a hundred Celestial Sovereign-level figures? If such a person existed, then why would anyone in Celestial Realm need to cultivate? They could all just go down to the lower realms to train instead.
Yet no one knew that Xian Lan's words were actually the most accurate information; it just wasn't taken seriously or believed by anyone.
The battle within Fengming Town had reached its conclusion. The Garrison, under the overwhelming assault of the Golden Execution Squad, had no choice but to retreat into the Defense Headquarters, yet they still could not escape their fate of death.
With just two teams pressing down on them, the Defense Headquarters personnel were thoroughly overwhelmed, and this was before Xing Kong and his group had even made their move. Ma Ming struggled to fend off the enemy's attacks while watching his fellow Garrison members fall one by one under the relentless onslaught of shadowy figures.
The situation had turned dire, and he couldn't understand why Dark Shu dared to brazenly invade In the Town. Although he had sent out the warning in time, the Teleportation Array had been destroyed in the first moments of the attack, completely extinguishing his hopes.
The sound of explosions began to echo around him; he didn't need to look to know that the Garrison members were choosing to self-destruct one by one in their desperate situation. The entire Fengming Town felt like it was facing the apocalypse, filled with blood and chaos.
"It seems this commotion is significant. I can only hope those soldiers can hold off the enemy for a little longer," Yun Xing Kong said, frowning as he gazed at the Blood Mist above the town.
"What are you so anxious about? There are no other Teleportation Arrays within a hundred thousand miles besides Fengming Town. Even if the enemy discovers this, what does it matter?" Xing Yun scoffed.
"What do you know?" Xing Kong snapped back. "The enemy has no choice but to press on; if they divert now, they face even greater dangers. Fengming Town is their last hope. Don't forget, they have two Array Masters among them. Any one of them could kill you like swatting a fly."
Despite his arrogance, Xing Yun felt no anger under Xing Kong's forceful demeanor.
"Even if I can't handle it, aren't you all here?" Xing Yun replied, still somewhat unconvinced. "The enemy has been engaged in continuous battles while we have been resting. In this situation, we can't possibly fail."
"Even so, we must be more vigilant. Those who are cornered can do anything," Xing Kong understood the thoughts of the oldest captain in Golden Punishment. "If this mission were simple, we wouldn't be in such a predicament."
"Actually, what we should really consider is what awaits us if we truly complete this mission," Xian Lan remarked meaningfully at that moment.
"What else could there be? Even if our four teams split the rewards, it would be enough for us to advance toward higher goals," Xing Kong continued obliviously.
"Enough! Shut up, Xing Yun! When will you learn to curb your begging nature?" Xing Kong was thoroughly disappointed in Xing Yun. It was astonishing that he still couldn't see the crux of such an obvious issue.
"If things don't turn out well afterward, we're all dead," Xing E interjected. "This woman's identity is definitely not ordinary. Even if there's a good explanation from above later on, we'll become scapegoats. At this point, I actually hope they choose to divert their path."
After hearing Xing E's words, Xing Yun finally began to understand, his face turning pale.
"Alright, there's no need to overthink it. Let's focus on how to complete this mission. You all know the methods of the Dark Realm, so let's not discuss it any further," Xing Kong said with a grim expression. "Tell them to speed up and erase all traces."
With that, he fell silent, standing quietly to one side. For a moment, the four of them had nothing to say as they watched their subordinates fight below.
At this moment, Zuo Dao and his team were once again under attack. Yan Sui Fa led the charge at the forefront. This time, they were not facing the Golden Punishment of the Dark Realm, but several Blue-Ranked Assassins.
If it weren't for their heightened vigilance, Yan Sui Fa and his group would have almost fallen into the hands of these attackers. Each of these assassins had the ability to disguise themselves, transforming into grass and trees, or even solid rocks; some even turned into pools of muddy water.
It was only when Yan Sui Fa was ambushed by the assassins that he reacted, unleashing a wide-range attack that forced them to reveal their forms. Even so, several of his remaining teammates were injured in the process.
His flying sword danced in the air, cutting through beams of Radiance. He didn't need to worry about Zuo Dao's side; that was the safest place. His current task was to clear all obstacles for the Airship's advance.
His sword was filled with righteousness, its movements powerful yet graceful. The energy of the earth resonated with his spirit. After being forced out into the open, the assassins found themselves at a disadvantage. In terms of assassination skills, ten Yan Sui Fas wouldn't be enough against them; however, after seizing the initiative, he managed to control the situation on the battlefield.
The Dao Sword glimmered as if righteous gentlemen were walking through the world, bringing clarity to the earth. Although his Realm might not be as strong as that of a Blue-Ranked Assassin, his cultivation of the Gentleman's Sword Technique closed that gap significantly.
Inside the Airship, Zuo Dao began to feel better amidst Zhao Yanwu and Chen Yang's worried expressions. The Divine Lock and Celestial Chain within him had been mostly dispelled, and a surge of increasingly potent celestial energy flowed into his body. Unlike before when it felt weak and tenuous, this celestial energy now rushed in like a river in flood, cleansing everything within him.
A storm of celestial energy swirled around him. The sudden change stunned everyone on the battlefield. They had never witnessed such a powerful gathering of celestial energy; a vortex formed above the Airship filled with this divine essence.
