The Great Saber Sect.
Blood flowed down the mountain path, and the wide plaza in front of the main hall was littered with over a dozen fresh corpses, scattered in disarray.
Ling Jiancheng held the last remaining captive and asked, "Where is the junior disciple from our Cloud-Refining Sect that you've imprisoned?"
Shu Hua Daoist Zhu Qiu followed Ling Jiancheng in silence.
When they arrived, Ling Jiancheng had used the pretense of representing the Cloud-Refining Sect's sect leader to enter the Great Saber Sect's gate. Upon meeting the sect leader, he suddenly launched an attack and severed the sect leader's head.
The Great Saber Sect immediately fell into chaos. An elder attempted to activate the protective sect formation, but before they could act, the entire mountain of the sect sank, and the protective formation had already been destroyed by Dao Ling.
Then came a bloodstorm.
Ling Jiancheng killed anyone in sight. As soon as he acted, his malevolent aura could not be concealed, and the fierce, bloodthirsty intentions swept through the entire Great Saber Sect like a torrent.
The captive trembled and said with difficulty, "In, in the back mountain caves."
Ling Jiancheng asked again, "How many are guarding, and what is their cultivation level?"
"Only one Golden Core disciple."
As soon as the words fell, a crack was heard, and the captive's neck was twisted off.
Immediately, a streak of golden light shot from the captive's chest and soared into the sky.
It was his primordial spirit, trying to escape after his physical body was destroyed.
However, the golden light, though swift, was not as fast as something else.
A painting suddenly appeared in the path of his escape, swiftly unfolding.
The painting rippled slightly, and the golden light had no way to avoid it, crashing straight into the painting and failing to break free.
As the ripples settled, the painting closed up and nimbly flew back to Zhu Qiu's hand.
Ling Jiancheng turned around and looked at the painting in Zhu Qiu's hand, smiling, "As expected of a renowned treasure on the divine artifacts list. Elder Zhu, with this in hand, our mission has gone so smoothly."
Zhu Qiu disdainfully accepted Ling Jiancheng's praise, "We should go rescue the people now."
Ling Jiancheng wasn't angry, "Elder Zhu is right."
His smile remained warm, and his attitude was respectful, but Zhu Qiu felt uneasy all over.
On the way to the back mountain caves, every time they passed by, any disciple or elder who saw them was ruthlessly slaughtered by Ling Jiancheng.
By the time they reached the back mountain, Ling Jiancheng had already killed over a hundred people.
But he was indifferent, killing members of the Great Saber Sect as effortlessly as chopping vegetables.
The lone Golden Core disciple guarding Luoqi and Lin Chao, hearing the commotion, quickly stood up to investigate.
Seeing Ling Jiancheng and Zhu Qiu approaching, with unfamiliar faces and an unfriendly demeanor, he decisively drew his sword, "This is a forbidden area of the Great Saber Sect. You..."
His questioning was cut off as the surroundings spun rapidly.
After a few breaths, he fell with a thud, and his skewed view showed a headless corpse slowly collapsing.
