Chapter 1130: The Terrifying Mysterious Senior
Upon hearing Fang Hai's anxious voice transmission, Lü Dongping, a former elder of the Tianzong sect, was equally shaken. This old man, who had seen countless storms, couldn't hide the awe on his face.
"Not just you, even I have never heard of such a master!" His words only deepened Fang Hai's shock.
Over a dozen experts from various sects quietly gazed into the distance, not daring to make a sound. They etched into their memories the terrifying sword strike and the handsome face of Yi Feng.
Trembling, they prepared to go out and pay their respects, but Yi Feng and the members of the Moon God Pavilion had already cleaned up the battlefield and left, soaring into the sky.
All they could do was watch their retreating figures with reverence.
After leaving, the members of the Moon God Pavilion seemed much more confident, no longer as restrained as before.
Yi Feng, feeling somewhat disinterested, turned to the elder flying beside him and asked, "The Chixiao Tianzong doesn't seem that impressive. The scouts they sent were all weak. Are they really as formidable as the rumors say?"
Elder Li quickly clasped his hands and replied cautiously, "Elder Yi, the Chixiao Tianzong managed to annihilate several major sects in just a few days. Their strength must be immense. Their sudden rise surely has some hidden secrets. Their power might even exceed the rumors!"
"It's said that the Chixiao Tianzong has ten elders, each of them a celestial-tier expert with unfathomable cultivation!"
Elder Wang, flying on the left, also clasped his hands and spoke amiably, "Indeed! I've also heard that the Chixiao Tianzong is filled with experts. Their sect leader, Tu Daofang, is even more terrifying, rumored to have reached the third or even fourth level of the celestial tier!"
"The sect leader and three elders of the Wanyue Tianzong were defeated by him with a single palm strike, and their sect was annihilated overnight! Even Lu Yufeng, a once-famous sword genius, reportedly didn't even have a chance to draw his sword against him!"
"Elder Yi, we must not underestimate them!"
Elder Li continued, both saving face for Elder Wang and emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
"Yes, I've heard many rumors as well. Tu Daofang and the Chixiao Tianzong rose to power in just a few days, but their infamy has already spread far and wide. Tu Daofang is ruthless and can be considered a true tyrant. Even our Pavilion Master has said that we must not underestimate him!"
Hearing this, Yi Feng's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Although he hadn't met Tu Daofang, his mind had already conjured up an image of a terrifying demon king—ruthless and violent, shaking the heavens with his power alone.
Such a fearsome existence was undoubtedly a formidable opponent.
If he were to encounter him, he'd probably be finished in an instant!
This suicide mission was definitely a sure thing!
By now, Yi Feng and the others had completely disappeared. The experts in the forest gazed at the sky, still filled with awe and admiration.
The surreal feeling made it hard to believe what had just happened.
Many of them tightly gripped their weapons and hurried to the outskirts of the forest to investigate the wreckage of the flying ship.
Then, a sudden exclamation rang out!
"Tu Daofang!"
Everyone was startled and quickly gathered around.
"It really is Tu Daofang!"
Excited voices filled the air.
"Tu Daofang is finally dead!"
"Our blood debt has been avenged! Master, fellow disciples, you can rest in peace now!"
"That demon has finally gotten what he deserved! Heaven has eyes!"
Shouting to the heavens, everyone vented their pent-up hatred and frustration, their roars shaking the forest for miles.
As the curses flew, their anger was ignited.
In an instant, everyone channeled their Dao power, and various weapons were unleashed.
Apart from the head, the already mangled body was quickly hacked to pieces, the deep-seated hatred fully vented.
Lü Dongping watched with a sigh, closing his eyes slightly.
When the fury subsided a bit, this senior spoke up.
"Everyone, now that Tu Daofang has been slain by a master, and the ten elders are also dead, the Chixiao Tianzong, which has been wreaking havoc for thousands of miles, still exists!"
"We must spread this news far and wide, unite the righteous forces of all sects, and completely eradicate this scourge. This is our righteous duty, and it would not be in vain for the master who intervened!"
His words were like a wake-up call.
The elite disciples of various sects, blinded by hatred, were suddenly shaken and bowed in respect.
"Elder Lü is absolutely right!"
"Although Tu Daofang is dead, the Chixiao Tianzong still exists. We must destroy this evil sect!"
"Everyone, let's each spread the word and unite the righteous elites. Let the entire Nanli Heavenly Domain know that there is a senior master who has bestowed great mercy upon us!"
"I agree wholeheartedly!"
Several of them regrouped and immediately took Tu Daofang's head and the corpses of the elders to various places, using the most compelling evidence to spread the shocking truth.
After splitting up and taking action, within half a day, the news had spread for thousands of miles.
As elite disciples of various sects, they naturally had considerable connections and prestige. Soon, they gathered tens of thousands of cultivators. Although the group was a mixed bag, with everyone having their own agendas, under the premise that Tu Daofang was dead, the rallying cry to eradicate evil resounded through the heavens.
Tens of thousands of experts headed to the East Sea's Luoxia Island and completely razed the Chixiao Tianzong's headquarters!
The once-dreaded sect was now in shambles, its members scattering in all directions. The once-mighty reputation of the Chixiao Tianzong vanished like smoke in the wind.
On the mainland of the Nanli Heavenly Domain, Yi Feng and the others were unaware of all this. They were still diligently searching the outskirts of the Moon God Pavilion's territory, scouring mountains and valleys for traces of the Chixiao Tianzong.
After three days and nights of searching, Yi Feng's hopes were gradually fading. He was visibly frustrated, having sent several disciples to investigate, but there was no sign of any activity. A sense of foreboding crept in.
On the fourth morning, Yi Feng finally couldn't take it anymore. As he scanned the desolate mountains, he cursed under his breath.
"What the hell... Is the Chixiao Tianzong hiding like turtles? We've been searching for three days with dozens of people, and we haven't found a single trace. Where the hell are those bastards hiding?"
Beside him, the two elders didn't dare to respond.
They shared Yi Feng's anxiety.
The Chixiao Tianzong was known for its brutality!
With the sect seemingly plotting against the Moon God Pavilion, and having been tasked with gathering intelligence, they had found nothing after several days. Who wouldn't be anxious?
Originally, the two elders hadn't thought much of Yi Feng, as he was a new elder with little camaraderie.
But after witnessing his skills in the earlier skirmish and seeing him lead them tirelessly for days, searching for enemy forces without rest, his dedication to the sect was undeniable.
Now, seeing Yi Feng's visible frustration, the two elders were filled with respect. Even his cursing only made them feel more moved.
But with the situation as it was, they could only share his anxiety.
The other disciples didn't dare to speak or ask questions, standing obediently to the side, their eyes filled with shame as they watched Elder Yi's frustration.
Just as the atmosphere grew awkward, several streaks of light descended from the sky!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Looking up, they saw the elite disciples they had sent out earlier.
Yi Feng's hopes were reignited.
The other elders and disciples also perked up, quickly stepping forward.
"What's the news?"
The disciples, still catching their breath, gasped, "Something big has happened. Something really big."
"Something big?"
Yi Feng and the others were startled, looking at the disciples in confusion.
The disciples, still panting, hurriedly explained, "The Chixiao Tianzong... the Chixiao Tianzong has been wiped out!"
"Tu Daofang and the ten elders are dead. The Chixiao Tianzong was annihilated overnight!"
"The news has spread everywhere!"
"What?"
The announcement sent shockwaves through the group, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Yi Feng was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Wasn't this supposed to be a fearsome and brutal sect? How could it just vanish like that?
After recovering from the shock, everyone turned their attention to the disciples, eager to hear the details.
"Speak quickly! What exactly happened?"
"Yes, Qingfeng, tell us everything!"
The disciples bowed and, after swallowing hard, spoke urgently.
"Elder Yi, Elders! Here's what happened. A few days ago, a group of mysterious experts ambushed Tu Daofang! The leader was incredibly powerful, killing Tu Daofang with a single sword strike! In just one encounter, the ten elders were also slain!"
"After the news spread, the Chixiao Tianzong lost its top fighters, and countless experts immediately banded together to attack the sect. In just one day, the Chixiao Tianzong was completely destroyed!"
Whoosh!
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Elder Li was visibly shaken, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. "Is this true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Some rogue cultivators even showed us the Chixiao Tianzong's identification tokens and some of their artifacts!"
The disciple continued, his voice growing more excited.
At this, everyone was utterly stunned.
Tu Daofang was a terrifying figure!
Although no one present had seen him in person, based on the rumors, he was at least a third-level celestial-tier expert. To be killed with a single sword strike—how powerful must that person be?!
The two elders were dumbfounded, frozen in place.
"Could this news be false...?"
The two elders couldn't believe it.
The Chixiao Tianzong, a formidable sect, just vanishing like that was too unreal.
"Elders, it's true. We split up to gather information, and I heard the same thing," another disciple who had gone out to investigate reported. "In fact, my source was even more detailed. They said that not only did the master slaughter the Chixiao Tianzong in one encounter, but he also devoured their corpses! Only Tu Daofang's head was left, barely recognizable."
With this confirmation, everyone gasped in shock.
Even though they were elite disciples of the Moon God Pavilion, the cream of the crop among inner sect members, they had never heard of such a terrifying master. The news sent shivers down their spines, and heated discussions broke out.
"Could such a person really exist in this world?!"
"What level of cultivation must they have?"
The disciples were in awe, their discussions buzzing with excitement.
The two elders were equally stunned, their throats dry with shock.
"This... this..."
"Slaughtering the Chixiao Tianzong like chopping vegetables—such a master's cultivation is beyond our imagination!"
"We must not offend this person!"
"We need to report this to the Pavilion Master immediately. It's urgent!"
The two elders, with their vast experience and far superior cultivation compared to the disciples, had a clearer understanding of the weight such rumors carried. Compared to the disciples' awe, they knew just how significant such a figure was.
Based on the rumors, this senior could likely control the entire southern region of the Nanli Heavenly Domain in the blink of an eye, with unimaginable power behind him.
In the face of such a person, even with Elder Wei's backing and the support of a massive force, the Moon God Pavilion would have to show respect.
The two elders were so shocked that their minds were in turmoil, like a stormy sea.
In their panic, they turned to seek Yi Feng's counsel.
But Yi Feng was nowhere to be seen.
At the foot of the mountain, amidst the stunned crowd, Yi Feng sat alone, sulking.
His face was full of frustration.
He plucked at a dogtail flower, cursing under his breath.
"Damn it all!"
"Where did this idiot master come from? Don't they know the concept of first come, first served?!"
Yi Feng grew angrier the more he thought about it, the dogtail flower in his hand now bare.
"If you wanted to show off and save the world, at least let me get killed by Tu Daofang first. I was here first—it wouldn't have affected your grand entrance! You could have killed him afterward, and we both would have had our moment!"
"How great would that have been?"
"After all this, I've been wasting my time wandering around these desolate mountains for days. I can't believe it. Where did this sneaky master come from?!"
"I curse you, and that whole team of experts! I hope you all run out of toilet paper!"
After cursing for a while, Yi Feng suddenly felt a stomachache.
Nature's call was urgent, and he couldn't hold it any longer. He quickly ran toward the bushes.
