Chapter 281: A Big Event in the Martial Tao World!

Chapter 281 A Big Event in the Martial Tao World!

A few days later, a post that appeared on the Martial Tao Forum sent shockwaves throughout the community.

“Chu the Devil was defeated in his battle with the Lord of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy and fled with injuries!”

The news spread like wildfire not only on the forum, but the entire Martial Tao World as well.

“Have you heard? Chu the Devil was defeated in his battle against Yue Fandie, the Lord of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy, and had to flee with injuries.”

“Chu the Devil surely doesn’t know when to stop. I can’t believe he even dared to provoke the Sanctuary’s Lord! He must have had a death wish.”

“Hear, hear! I heard their battle was ferocious! But, Chu the Devil was injured by the Lord’s palm attack and had to run away in defeat. The Sanctuary’s disciples are now blocking the road to other cities to hunt down Chu the Devil.”

“One of my friends is from the Sanctuary. He said that Chu Xun boldly provoked them and tried to steal their treasure, the Tetrarchy Cauldron. Yue Fandie got so angry that he ended up fighting Chu Xun. In the end, Chu Xun had to run away in defeat.”

The news was getting more distorted by the minutes as it spread through the Martial Tao World.

In the next few days, several battles broke out in the territory of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy.

“Have you heard? Chu the Devil was so badly injured that he hid in the Sanctuary of Tetrachy to heal himself. But, his whereabouts were exposed and he was nearly killed.”

“The Northwest is in chaos. The disciples of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy are looking for Chu the Devil everywhere.”

“Looks like Chu the Devil has gotten himself into a pickle this time. I heard his injuries are so bad that he’s on the verge of dying.”

The misinformation had gotten worse.

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy, Yue Fandie also stepped forward and announced that anyone who could provide the whereabouts of Chu the Devil would be awarded two low-grade spiritual herbs. Anyone who could kill him would not only be a friend of the Sanctuary, but also receive ten middle-grade spiritual herbs.

This sent the entire Martial Tao World into a frenzy.

“Looks like Chu the Devil is doomed this time.”

“Chu the Devil is too arrogant! He deserves it for daring to provoke the Lord of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy.”

“I couldn’t have this seen coming. The great Chu the Devil would actually end up in such a pathetic state.”

…

All the warriors in the Northwest were looking for Chu Xun’s whereabouts.

They might not be able to kill him, but if they could track him down, they would be able to get two spiritual herbs.

“Quick! Someone saw Chu the Devil at the Falling Phoenix Slope! Yue Hongbo from the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy is already on his way there!”

The warriors rushed there as soon as they heard the news.

Falling Phoenix Slope was said to be home to phoenixes.

Two silhouettes sped through the dense forest. The one in front was drenched in blood. The one behind yelled, “Chu the Devil, you have nowhere to run today! Hurry up and surrender!”

The warriors, who had come after catching wind of the news, recognized the person to be Yue Hongbo from the Sanctuary of Tetrachy.

The one fleeing must be Chu Xun.

Yue Hongbo raised his hand and exerted a terrifying chain of Internal Breath, hitting Chu Xin’s back with it.

Boom!

The attack sent Chu Xun flying, with his blood splattering everywhere.

“Chu the Devil, leave your head behind!” Yue Hongbo roared. He put his palms together and his fearsome Inner Breath surged, destroying the trees around him.

Chu Xun, who was still on the run, made an abrupt dodge. When the wind from the palm attack swept a boulder, the boulder blew up.

“Where do you think you’re going, Chu the Devil?”

Suddenly, someone blocked Chu Xun’s path. It was the second son of the Yue family, Yue Changle.

Ignoring him, Chu Xun turned around and leaped onto the top of the mountain.

Yue Changle raised his hand, drawing out his Inner Breath. Unfortunately, he missed Chu Xun and blew up a huge rock instead.

The Yue brothers set off in hot pursuit.

They continued attacking Chu Xun as they chased after him, reducing rocks into sand and vegetation into ash.

“Everyone, join me in slaying Chu the Devil. The Sanctuary of Tetrachy will be sure to reward you handsomely.”

Yue Changle opened his mouth to rope in everyone.

Chu Xun fled to the top of the mountain with everything that he had, while a group of people was hot on his tail.

“He can’t escape. There’s nowhere for him to run on the mountaintop. He’s doomed!” Yue Hongbo cried while attacking Chu Xun nonstop.

It was a pity that the mountain was so densely packed with trees that he couldn’t hit his target accurately.

Chu Xun left behind a trail of blood as he fled toward the top of the mountain on unsteady footing.

Before long, he reached the mountaintop but met a dead end at the same time.

The mountain was surrounded by cliffs and the only road had been blocked by the Yue brothers behind him.

“Chu the Devil, there’s nowhere for you to run! How dare you provoke the Sanctuary of Tetrachy! I’ll behead you as an example to the world today!” Yue Hongbo cried, his killing intent palpable.

Chu Xun turned around. Blood kept gushing out from the corner of his mouth as he said coldly, “Sanctuary of Tetrachy, are you hell-bent on killing me?”

“You committed the unforgivable by daring to covet the Tetrarchy Cauldron! Your death today is certain,” Yue Changle said.

“Haha! Very well, Sanctuary of Tetrachy! If I’m going down, I’ll drag you down with me!” Chu Xun said.

“Hmph! You’re the prey, and we’re the predator. Chu the Devil, you’re already on our chopping block. There’s no way for you to run. I suggest that you surrender and stop struggling in vain!” Yue Hongbo shouted.

“Do you want me to surrender? You’re not up there yet!” Chu Xun roared. “I’m going to kill you!”

After shouting, he threw two powerful punches. Two purple fist signets stirred the surrounding air, producing terrifying sounds of explosions.

Yue Hongbo and Yue Changle attacked at the same time, shooting out their virtually undefeatable Inner Breath chains.

Boom! Boom!

Two earth-shattering explosions took place, rocking the mountain and drawing in a terrifying storm.

The impact sent Chu Xun flying straight down the cliff.

“Sanctuary of Tetrachy! If I, Chu Xun, survive, I swear I’ll cleanse your Sanctuary with blood and destroy the Tetrarchy Cauldron in the future! I won’t give you any peace...”

Chu Xun’s resentful voice reached the top of the mountain.

Yue Hongbo and Yue Changle looked grim. Their killing intent was still strong.

“Find him! Even if he’s dead, I want to see his corpse,” Yue Hongbo said angrily.

“Everyone! If you find the corpse of Chu the Devil, we’ll still deliver on our promise,” Yue Changle shouted in a furious voice.

Upon hearing this, countless warriors rushed to the bottom of the cliff to look for Chu Xun’s corpse.

However, even after searching for two full days, the hundreds of warriors still couldn’t find Chu Xun’s corpse anywhere.

The entire Martial Tao World remained agitated for the next few days, with endless stories cycling through the rumor mill.

There had been no news about Chu Xun since he fell down the cliff and disappeared.

Rumor had it that Chu Xun was still alive, but hiding somewhere to treat his injuries. Some also said that he was dead and his body had been swallowed whole by beasts.

What happened next, however, frightened countless people.

The Sanctuary of Tetrachy didn’t give up their search for Chu Xun. A search team headed by Feng Zijian, with a total of thirty people, was completely wiped out with no survivors. Their heads rolled on the ground, and their blood formed rivers of red at the scene.

Moreover, Mu Tian’s search team of twenty was also killed in the dense forest. All of them were beheaded.

A few days later, the third son of the Yue family, Yue Wennan, was badly injured in an attack. His team of dozen or so people was wiped out. He was the only one who made it out alive.

Chu Xun was still alive. Those must be his doings.

Yue Wennan stepped forward and confirmed that Chu Xun was the one who attacked his team.

The Sanctuary of Tetrachy became frantic and dispatched all of their disciples to hunt Chu Xun down. Yue Fandie would then personally kill him.

This time, the warriors of the Martial Tao World withdrew from the hunt.

Chu Xun was too cruel with his methods. Whole teams looking for him would be destroyed and beheaded. Even though the Sanctuary’s rewards were tempting, the warriors valued their lives more.

Still, the disciples of the Sanctuary had basically turned the entire Northwest region upside down but still couldn’t find any signs of Chu Xun.

While they were busy looking for Chu Xun, another incident shocked the Martial Tao World.

Last night, someone broke into the Sanctuary and chipped the Tetrarchy Cauldron.

Yue Fandie flew into a rage when he found out, and another terrifying battle ensued. The perpetrator managed to escape in the end.

There was a rumor that the perpetrator was Chu Xun.

“Looks like Chu the Devil is determined to go down with the Sanctuary of Tetrachy.”

“As expected of Chu the Devil! He doesn’t know the word ‘mercy’!”

“This is such a great humiliation for the Sanctuary of Tetrachy that they wouldn’t just let things go. Chu the Devil must have a death wish.”

Rumors had been flying around in the Martial Tao World. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen.

…

Late one night, a black-robed man appeared at the entrance of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy.

“Who are you?” the gatekeeper asked vigilantly.

“Tell your Lord that a friend is here to visit him. It’s about Chu the Devil,” the black-robed man said solemnly.

“Please wait. I’ll go in and make a report.” One of the disciples ran inside and made his report.

After a while, Yue Hongbo appeared and stared at the black-robed man for a long time.

“Are you from the Broken Souls Cult, sir?”

“You have a sharp eye, Eldest Young Master Yue,” the black-robed man said, sneering.

“But, I don’t remember the Broken Souls Cult being a friend of our Sanctuary,” Yue Hongbo said.

Hoarse laughter came from the black-robed man. “The enemy of an enemy is a friend.”

“Oh?” Yue Hongbo raised an eyebrow. “Is Chu the Devil the enemy you speak of, sir?”

“Yes. I’m sure you’ve heard about the grudge between us and Chu the Devil, Eldest Young Master Yue.”

Yue Hongbo nodded. “But, my family doesn’t need to join hands with anyone.”

“Those words reek of overconfidence.” The black-robed man paused as if he was thinking, before adding, “I’ve heard about what happened recently. Do you think that Chu the Devil is such an easy opponent?”

“Chu the Devil is not an easy opponent, but we don’t need to rely on someone else’s power,” Yue Hongbo retorted.

“It seems that you have a misunderstanding about the Broken Souls Cult, Eldest Young Master Yue.”

“Is it really a misunderstanding?” A sarcastic smile appeared on Yue Hongbo’s face. “The Broken Souls Cult uses unscrupulous methods and colludes with the wandering warriors of the Fusang State. I don’t think this counts as a misunderstanding.”

The energy around the black-robed man began to fluctuate but he quickly calmed down. “I don’t think anyone knows Chu the Devil better than the Broken Souls Cult does. If we work together, I promise you that we’ll be able to kill him in three days.”

“Oh?” Yue Hongbo appeared disdainful. “But, as far as I know, your grudge with Chu the Devil has been around for a long time. Yet he’s still alive and kicking.”

“Brother, I heard there’s a guest.” Yue Wennan walked out. His face was pale as he hadn’t fully recovered. He looked at the black-robed man and said, “You’re from the Broken Souls Cult, aren’t you?”

“You’re sharp-eyed, Second Young Master Yue.”

“Why did you come to the Sanctuary of Tetrachy?”

“To help you to kill Chu the Devil.”

“Do you have any news about Chu the Devil?”

The black-robbed man nodded.

A cruel expression appeared on Yue Wennan’s face. “Please come in.”

“Third Brother,” Yue Hongbo chided.

Yue Wennan looked grim. “Big Brother, I know about your worries. But whoever can help us kill Chu the Devil is a friend of mine.”

“Don’t be presumptuous! This isn’t your business alone,” Yue Hongbo said furiously.

Yue Wennan’s expression turned uglier. “Big Brother, do you know what it feels like to witness Chu the Devil behead our family’s disciples one by one? Do you know how I felt when I ran away like a beaten dog? Whoever tries to stop me from killing Chu the Devil is my enemy! That includes you, Big Brother.”

Yue Hongbo was startled, appearing to be stunned by Yue Wennan’s vicious words.

“Come in, my friend!” Yue Wennan told the black-robed man.

The black-robbed man nodded at Yue Hongbo, an obvious strange light gleaming in his eyes. He then followed Yue Wennan into the Sanctuary of Tetrachy.
