Chapter 207: Destroying Xuanyin Sect

Tuo Jin, leader of the Divine Light Sect, ordered for the people of his sect to kill the people of the Xuanyin Sect. This situation was one that nobody present could have expected, and it left them at a loss.

How did the people of the Divine Light Sect become pawns to the youth who was dressed in white all of a sudden?

“Lord Tuo Jin.”

After the Primal Core adepts from the Divine Light Sect had killed the Connate adepts from the Xuanyin Sect, Zhou Donghuang exchanged greetings with Lord Tuo Jin. At the same time, he quickly swept over the auditorium that housed people of the big three sects—the Thousand-year Sect, Xuesha Sect and Tianwu Sect.

“It seems like someone was making rude remarks about me earlier on.”

The second Zhou Donghuang said that, the faces of the big three sect leaders and their people changed immediately.

The three sect leaders sprung up from their seats. They were about to apologize, but Zhou Donghuang beat them to it, and said, “Each of your three families have to pay me a hundred thousand spirit stones as compensation for the psychological damage you have dealt to me. I want to see the stones before Year 1234 of the Ziyun Era.

“Lord Tuo Jin, come find me if any of the three refuse to cooperate and I will pay them a visit myself to collect the stones! I’ll also spar a little with their Golden Essence adepts while I’m there.”

There was as cold glint to Zhou Donghuang’s eyes as he spoke, which caused the three sect leaders to blanch.

A hundred thousand spirit stones?

Not just that—this young man was going to visit them personally if they refused to cooperate?

To spar with their Golden Essence adepts?

Qi Ming, a Golden Essence adept from Xuanyin Sect, had been killed by the man in a matter of seconds, a man who had killed a Dharma adept, no less. The Golden Essence adepts of the big three sects were just no match for him!

Sparring?

Who was he kidding?

It was obviously a threat—if they dared to not hand over the stones, Zhou Donghuang would kill the Golden Essence adepts standing behind them as interest.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Tuo Jin hurriedly responded. At the same time, he glanced over at the three sect leaders. “Sect Leaders, please go back and have the spirit stones delivered to us at the Divine Light Sect, please.

“Remember to have them delivered before Year 1234 of the Ziyun Era.”

Tuo Jin reminded them emphatically.

At the same time, the man felt somewhat relieved.

It was a good thing that the people of the Divine Light Sect had realized just how frightening the young man was and had refrained from gossiping. Otherwise, it was likely that the Divine Light Sect would be just as unlucky as the other three sects were today.

“Your Highness.”

Hu Chengshuo, leader of the Xuesha Sect, looked towards Zhou Donghuang with a pale face. The man fought to speak first, “I can apologize if my words have offended you, Your Highness, and I can also compensate you with some spirit stones.

“But a hundred thousand spirit stones… isn’t that a little too much?”

Hu Chengshuo could not help but let his anger seep into his words. He felt that what the man before him was doing was tantamount to extortion.

At the same time, the sect leaders of the Thousand-Year Sect and the Tianwu Sect cast their gaze toward Zhou Donghuang simultaneously.

Xuesha Sect Leader, Hu Chengshuo had spoken his mind.

“Too much?”

Zhou Donghuang’s eyes gleamed for a second, but he quickly schooled his expression. He turned to look at Hu Chengshuo then offered blandly, “Two hundred thousand spirit stones.”

A deathly silence fell over the crowd at his words. The people looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, and the only thought that was running through their heads was that the man was going too far.

“Your Highness, y—you’re joking, right?”

Hu Chengshuo’s face was flushed with anger, but he suppressed it and responded in a low voice.

Even if he totaled the entirety of the Xuesha Sect’s reserve of spirit stones, he would barely scrape together slightly more than two hundred thousand spirit stones. And the young man standing before him had the audacity to ask for them to handover what they had been accumulating for a thousand years?

The other members of the Xuesha Sect looked at Zhou Donghuang, anger written clearly all over their faces. They would never have expected for the young powerhouse to be so vicious.

Two hundred thousand spirit stones?

Why not just go rob someone?

This time, Zhou Donghuang responded to Hu Chengshuo with a slap.

Thump!!

Though not as fancy as the time he killed Chen Dandan, he slapped Hu Chengshuo firmly. It felt like a heavy piledriver had fallen on his head and sent him straight through the sturdy floorboards. The man was turned into a pile of meat in an instant.

The Xuesha Sect Leader, a late Primal Core, died just like that.

The remaining members of the Xuesha Sect were even more enraged, but all of them kept their heads bowed. Not a single one of them dared to lift their head up.

This was no laughing matter!

What would they do if Zhou Donghuang had them killed in a fit of rage?

The surrounding crowd was made up of people from Ziyun. Though they were not from any of the three sects, they could not help the shiver that ran up their spine.

They felt that the young man before them was too barbaric!

Of course, they knew this much: This young man could afford to be this barbaric!

“After you return to the Xuesha Sect, relay this message to the person who’ll step up as leader… Two hundred thousand spirit stones, not a single stone less than that.”

Zhou Donghuang said as he glanced at the people of the Xuesha Sect.

When he cast his gaze to the leaders of the Thousand-Year Sect and the Tianwu Sect, the two of them hurriedly bowed at their waist with their heads low. “Your Highness, we will personally deliver the hundred thousand spirit stones to the Divine Light Sect after we return!”

“Mm.”

Zhou Donghuang nodded. “Since the two of you are being so cooperative… I’ll give the both of you two spirit weapons each.”

After he said that, Zhou Donghuang waved his arm carelessly and tossed two swords and two daggers to the two sect leaders as if he were tossing garbage.

Wordlessly, the two sect leaders collected a dagger and sword each. They tested the feel of the blades of a while before they turned to look at each other in pure glee.

“These are real spirit weapons!”

The two of them chorused. Just like that, the resentment that had built up in their chest dissipated and was replaced by a surge of excitement.

A hundred thousand spirit stones in exchange for two spirit weapons.

This was a lucrative deal!

In this moment, it was not just the people of the Thousand-Year Sect and Tianwu Sect who felt this way, but even the bystanders thought that the two of them had really profited from this—and they had profited a great deal, at that.

There was one thing you had to know: Before this, there were only two spirit weapons in the whole of Ziyun.

The people of the Xuesha Sect, on the other hand, were seething with rage. Not only did they miss out on a spirit weapon, but they had to pay two hundred thousand spirit stones on top of that?

Resentment was building up in their hearts, directed at Hu Chengshuo, the previous leader of their sect who was now dead.

After all, they only landed in this plight because the man had stepped forward.

If not for that, they would have profited instead of incurring a larger loss.

“Lead the way, Lord Tuo Jin.”

Zhou Donghuang returned to perch on Little Gold’s back. After he was back beside Yun Lu, he looked again to Divine Light Sect Leader Tuo Jin, signaling for the latter to lead them to where the Xuanyin Sect was.

“Yes.”

Tuo Jin responded. Before he left, he looked towards the leaders of the Thousand-Year Sect and the Tianwu Sect. “Gentlemen, the Divine Light Sect will be making its way to the Xuanyin Sect along with His Highness. Will the two of you be coming along?” Tuo Jin asked.

Without waiting for the two of them to respond, he brought the Primal Core adepts from his sect to move to where the Xuanyin Sect was.

Little Gold, the golden-crowned eagle, started to move from where he was in front of the crowd. He followed closely behind the people of the Divine Light Sect.

After the leaders of the other two sects shook themselves out of their stupor, they scurried to gather their people and followed behind as well.

They had their own guesses for what Zhou Donghuang and the people of the Divine Light Sect were going to do to the Xuanyin Sect. “The Xuanyin Sect… it will no longer exist after today.”

The spirit weapons Zhou Donghuang gave to the two sects had pleased the people greatly and put them in a good mood. They were now more partial to currying favor with Zhou Donghuang and carrying out tasks for him.

As such, when they were at the Xuanyin Sect base, Zhou Donghuang did not even have to lift a finger.

The man went straight to looking for the sect’s secret storehouse, completely emptying it off all their spirit stones and a plethora of other valuables they had accumulated over the years.

There was so much to loot that his space ring was not enough.

It was a good thing he killed a few of their higher-ups in Xuanyin City earlier on, as well as the Xuesha Sect Leader. Their space rings were barely enough to store all of the stuff.

…

“Lord Tuo Jin, did you guys… did you guys already know that His Highness was such a frightening man?”

Ye Wen, the Tianwu Sect leader who had killed a Xuanyin Sect elder earlier on, turned to the Divine Light Sect leader to ask him.

The Divine Light Sect had not uttered a single word of disrespect to Zhou Donghuang earlier on at the Feast of Ziyun.

On top of that, it was clear from Zhou Donghuang and Tuo Jin’s interactions that the pair had known each other before this, long enough to have achieved some sort of partnership.

“I’ve long known that His Highness had the power to kill Golden Essence adepts… But I never once imagined that you would also be strong enough to kill off a Dharma adept,” Tuo Jin exclaimed.

If he had known earlier that Zhou Donghuang had the power to kill Dharma adepts, then Ci Xuan would never have had to flee in fear of Zhong Ya.

“Lord Tuo Jin, this base will become unoccupied after the Xuanyin Sect falls, and it’s a good base… there’s a spirit stone vein right under the base.”

Ye Wen’s eyes gleamed. “Did His Highness Donghuang mention anything about the management of that vein?”

The spirit stone vein of the Xuanyin Sect produced more spirit stones in a year than the one Tianwu Sect’s does.

“The Divine Light Sect will relocate here.”

Tuo Jin added, “This will be the new base of the Divine Light Sect.”

“Your sect is relocating here? Your entire sect?”

Ye Wen stared with wide eyes. “Then what will become of your current base? The spirit stone vein your current sect sits on is far larger than the one here.”

“Our current base?” Tuo Jin asked with a chuckle. “That place will belong to His Highness.”

This was the agreement he reached with the Divine Light Sect when he had sought them out. The plan was to have the sect relocate from Shenguang Peak to the Xuanyin Sect base.

In exchange for that, Zhou Donghuang promised to help refine spirit weapons for every one of the Divine Light Sect adepts in Late Primal Core.

And it was precisely because of this that the Divine Light Sect—whether it was Lord Tuo Jin or the other higher-ups—was very pleased with the deal.

The downfall of the Xuanyin Sect was something that had already been predetermined when Zhong Ya abducted Chen Dandan three years ago.

Something that was set in motion three years ago had finally come to an end on this day.

“It seems as if His Highness has given the Divine Light Sect no shortage of perks.”

It was easy for Ye Wen to come to this conclusion. Not only was Tuo Jin not dissatisfied with having to relocate to a base that was not as good as his current, he actually seemed rather happy.
