"What are you still dazing for?"

Dugu Ao reminded, "Cao Xie will be here soon, why aren't you quickly taking people and leaving?"

"Cao Xie?"

Chen Sansi knew that people from the Holy Sect could arrive at any moment, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.

"No way, we're missing someone."

He said solemnly, "Xue Xianrong has escaped."

At the onset of Jiang Xiyue's demonic possession, Xue Xianrong vanished quietly after taking a sword strike, and until after the trouble was dealt with, he was nowhere to be found, alive or dead, likely having seized the chaos to escape.

Not only did this guy see the blind woman becoming possessed, but he also saw my Dragon Abyss Sword and Bright Silver Spear; under no circumstances can he live.

"I'll handle it."

Dugu Ao said in a deep voice, "Just go."

"Thank you, Senior Dugu."

Chen Sansi cupped his fists, "Today's kindness is beyond repayment."

Dugu Ao said calmly, "Stop with the nonsense, just double the things I asked from you earlier."

"No problem."

Chen Sansi readily agreed, holding the unconscious Jiang Xiyue in his arms, then stepped onto the flying sword and soared into the sky.

He overdrew his heavily injured body, taking his senior sister back to Dragon Elephant City, exchanging the head of Xue Zhu for the "Creation Jade Dew," and then immediately took on an outside city task, quickly leaving this place of trouble.

There were too many incredible events that happened tonight.

Jiang Xiyue, Dugu Ao...

Even just now, news arrived at the dojo that something went wrong again within Si Xue path.

Originally, the sects prepared to cremate the inexplicably dead bodies, only to discover...

The bodies had disappeared.

Overnight, hundreds of thousands of bodies vanished into thin air, as if they evaporated from the mortal world!

Adding to this, the Nascent Soul Cultivator sent by the Holy Sect, everything, everything was a harbinger of imminent great events.

With the Creation Jade Dew in hand, Chen Sansi could no longer stay here.

...

"Demon, demon!"

In the night sky.

Xue Xianrong sped through the air on a leaf-shaped boat, his face no longer carrying the usual composure, replaced by immense terror.

His upper robe was shredded, revealing broken dark green armor within.

It's the life-saving magical treasure his father gave him, and it was by relying on this that he narrowly escaped death from that sword strike.

"How could this be, how could this be!"

Xue Xianrong was in disbelief.

A long time ago, during a sect task, he happened to witness the scene of the blind woman becoming possessed and leaving after a killing spree. He thought that waking her today would smoothly clear the sect.

Who knew things would spiral completely out of control, Senior Brother Zhang, Junior Sister Song, they were all dead!

And that Lu Shengzhi, who evidently is Chen Lei from the Eastern Continent!

No wonder he heard Heavenly Killing True Monarch had previously targeted this kid!

Baihua Valley disciples descending into madness and harboring Holy Sect fugitives!

As long as he could bring the news back, Baihua Valley would be doomed!

"Father!!!"

Xue Xianrong saw with his own eyes several beams of light of escape from the direction of Star Peak Mountain on the horizon.

He immediately latched onto it like a lifeline, desperately moving towards them.

"My son?"

A thousand feet away, Elder Xue Jingfeng of Flowing Cloud Peak recognized the small figure in the distance.

Not long ago, he received a transmission from his son saying that he had discovered Jiang Xiyue of Baihua Valley becoming possessed, urging him to quickly go and purge the sect.

As soon as he set off, a massive anomaly erupted from the direction of Little Witch Mountain, followed by the summoning of flying swords by all cultivators in Dragon Elephant City.

Judging from the scale of the disturbance, it seemed only a battle above the Nascent Soul Realm could have triggered it.

Accordingly, Master Feng Zhi of Guiyuan Sect also proceeded to investigate the situation.

Now, seeing his son's figure, Xue Jingfeng was about to inquire further when a sword light soared up directly towards Xue Xianrong.

"Xianrong!"

He was shocked and horrified, rushing forward with everything he had, but it was too late.

The flying sword pierced straight through Xue Xianrong's heart, ending his life without even a scream.

The body plummeted like a kite with a broken string, revealing a cultivator in a gray robe and delicate fox mask in view.

"My son!!!"

Witnessing the gruesome death of his flesh and blood, Xue Jingfeng was furious, summoning his Lifebound Flying Sword to attack the mysterious swordsman.

"Xue Jingfeng, it was you who got your son killed!"

Dugu Ao's icy tone carried mockery, "From now on, take care of yourself."

He had no intention to linger in battle, disappearing after leaving those words.

"Xianrong, Xianrong!"

Xue Jingfeng had no heart to pursue anymore; he used the Object Manipulation Technique to control his son's corpse to his side, trying every means to revive him, all in vain.

"Hiss..."

Next to him, Master Feng Zhi watched the direction where the mysterious swordsman vanished and muttered, "Elder Xue, if I am not mistaken, this person should be Dugu Ao from the Demon Slaying Sect? Why must he kill your son? Could it be that Elder Xue and the people of the Demon Slaying Sect share some grudge?"

"..."

Having cultivated for over two hundred years as a Golden Core Cultivator, Xue Jingfeng quickly calmed his emotions, speculating the course of events in his mind.

Silencing!

Dugu Ao was silencing witnesses!

His son clearly had something he wanted to say!

It surely had something to do with Baihua Valley disciples!

"Elder Xue, my condolences."

Master Feng Zhi half-heartedly comforted him, then said, "The commotion just now was too big; surely, Heavenly Killing True Monarch and others will check it out after arriving at Si Xue Dao. Why not join forces to search for Dugu Ao's whereabouts?"

"..."

Xue Jingfeng said nothing, only putting away his son's body and heading straight to the scene of the incident.
