Chapter 484: Chapter 473: Sordid Acts, Killing Approaches

In a hidden valley.

From the outside, the valley appeared normal, like just an ordinary valley.

If someone happened to pass by, they might even think about entering the valley for a bit of exploration.

But if someone truly entered the valley, they would find a chilling wind howling, sending shivers down their spine.

At this moment, figures flickered inside the valley.

However, if one looked closely, they would notice that each flickering figure emitted a palpable evil qi.

The evil qi surged to the sky, and only when these figures gradually stopped could one see their true faces.

And all sorts of sinister-looking insects crawled within the valley.

Each insect was incredibly grotesque.

When hundreds of insects gathered together, the evil qi emitted a chilling sensation throughout the valley.

The ground, walls, and even tree branches within the valley were covered with mutilated corpses everywhere.

These were human corpses, their deaths were terrifyingly grim.

Many insects were gnawing on the corpses.

The sound of gnawing in the dark night was horrifying.

In front, there was a man wearing golden armor, sitting on a chair, gnawing on a piece of leg bone.

If one looked closely, they would find that the man’s golden armor seemed to merge with his body as if it had grown from within.

And the man’s eyes were eerie compound eyes.

Across from him sat another man.

This person wore regular clothing, but emitted the chilling aura of the Void Shattering Realm.

The two sat facing each other.

The man in golden armor drank blood and gnawed on the leg bone.

Meanwhile, the man in regular clothing drank clear tea.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The man in golden armor broke the silence first.

"Thanks to Mr. Li’s little trick on this mission, making the Sect Leader of Xuanjia Sect consume poison, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to wipe out Xuanjia Sect."

The man in regular clothing shook his head slightly, drank all the tea in his cup, and sneered, "They say Xuanjia Sect’s defense is unmatched, but they couldn’t guard against internal attacks. Using poison to breach their defense was naturally effortless."

The man in golden armor nodded slightly and then waved his hand, bringing forward a wooden box dragged by two insect demons.

After opening the box, it radiated with treasures.

"Mr. Li, all the Xuanjia Sect’s heritage is here. We fulfill our promise to only take their corpses, not these treasures."

The man glanced at it and nodded, "Good, you understand the rules. Put this box on my horse."

Two insect demons quickly carried the box onto a nearby steed.

At this moment, the man looked at the golden-armored man and said, "Gu King, recent actions might cause a stir. The Evil Extermination Bureau will send someone to investigate, so stay hidden for now. Once things calm down, I’ll bring in some sect forces for you to attack."

The Gu King nodded in satisfaction, "As long as Mr. Li is willing to cooperate with Gu Sect, I promise Mr. Li great rewards."

Mr. Li nodded, "After returning, through transactions in the Black Market, one can exchange for a lot of resources."

Gu King said no more and continued gnawing on bloody food, with a teasing look in his eyes.

Gu Sect and the Tong Daoshuai before him had already collaborated more than once.

Both parties took what they needed; Gu Sect needed the flesh and blood of cultivators, while Mr. Li needed the sect treasures to trade for resources in the Black Market.

As for why, Gu King knows very well.

The Tianyun Dao is too vast, and the Evil Extermination Bureau is too vast.

For a mere Tong Daoshuai to gain good fortune within the Evil Extermination Bureau, they need to risk their lives.

Mr. Li is clearly a cowardly person trying to survive.

If he doesn’t need a performance record, how can he trade resources to avoid being eliminated by the Evil Extermination Bureau?

Needing a performance record means collaborating with them to destroy sects, obtain their resources, and then whiten these resources through transactions in the Black Market.

This has always been Mr. Li’s method.

Using this method, his strength steadily climbed from the initial understanding to the Small Success of Shattering Void Realm, even just a step away from Great Success.

Everyone took what they needed, creating mutual understanding without any anomalies arising.

Mr. Li emptied his cup again, placed it down, and then stood up, saying, "It’s late, I’ve delivered the message. I’ll inform you as soon as possible when to act next time, but for now, let’s be cautious."

The Gu King nodded, "Certainly, I will follow Mr. Li’s instructions."

Then, the Gu King got up, preparing to send him off.

But at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed.

The footsteps carried a hint of urgency.

The Gu King frowned slightly, turned to look, and saw a large swarm of insects rushing over.

"Why such panic? Don’t you know I’m discussing detailed plans with Mr. Li?"

"If the follow-up plans are disrupted, will you bear the consequences?"

Upon hearing this, the leading insect demon of Unity Realm immediately prostrated on the ground, trembling and said, "Reporting to Gu King, outside there are two people, one seems to be an escaped member of Xuanjia Sect, the other is from the Evil Extermination Bureau, and they’ve already killed many brothers."

These words plunged the valley into silence.

Mr. Li suddenly turned around, grabbed Gu King’s collar, his eyes showing a hint of coldness: "Didn’t you say you would exterminate them entirely? Xuanjia Sect knows my identity, if exposed, there is no place for either of us in this world."

The Gu King’s eyes flashed with a bit of panic, then he shouted, "Where are they now?"

The insect demon below bowed its head, "They’re getting closer to the valley, estimated time is half an incense stick before arrival."

The Gu King’s eyes revealed a cold fierce light: "Alright, fine, if that’s the case, then let’s not leave."

After saying that, the Gu King’s gaze shifted to Mr. Li, saying, "Mr. Li, do not panic. The escaped member of Xuanjia Sect must have found the Tong Daoshuai taking the mission and brought him here, perhaps the news hasn’t leaked out yet, otherwise, they wouldn’t have only come with one Tong Daoshuai."

"Once we kill them, the news will naturally sink and disappear."

Mr. Li, upon hearing this, forcibly suppressed the anger within, releasing his right hand: "Lead them in and kill them!"

Only he knew that the disgraceful things he had done could not be known by anyone else.

If anyone found out, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, he wouldn’t survive.

But now it was fine. Since the other party had walked right into the trap, he would destroy them.

If it were someone at the Great Success or Perfection of the Void Shattering Realm, they would likely all die.

This was a foregone conclusion, an inevitable fate.

But if it was only someone at the Small Success of the Void Shattering Realm, then after killing them, they might still survive.

Mr. Li had already formulated a plan in his mind.

In the next action, they must be extra cautious and ensure nothing goes wrong.

The Gu King immediately waved his sleeve and said, "Everyone hide deep within the valley, Mr. Li, you and I will also hide and find an opportunity to attack!"

Mr. Li nodded without further words, agreeing to the plan.

Then, the Gu King and the many insect demons quietly hid in the shadows of the valley.

The valley was instantly enveloped by Evil Qi, appearing ordinary.

Raising your eyes, you wouldn’t be able to find any trace of an insect demon.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half an incense stick of time had passed,

a silhouette gradually became clear.

Only to see Qin An stepping into the valley, Cold Star in hand, walking at leisure.

Behind him, Zhu Ming was shivering, appearing extremely terrified.

He occasionally glanced at Qin An, not daring even to maintain direct eye contact.

Only he knew how terrifying the man before him was.

On the path up from outside the valley, all the insect demons they encountered were slain by this man with a single strike.

This man seemed to have no need for a second strike.

Both his strength and killing intent sent chills down Zhu Ming’s spine, yet it also gave him a sense of hope.

With such a strong person seeking justice for the Dark Armor Sect, perhaps the sect’s grievances could be avenged.

As he thought about this, Zhu Ming heard a slight "hmm" from ahead.

He instinctively looked and saw that the interior of the valley was serene, as if no demon had ever stepped foot here.

But upon a closer look, one would find human corpses hanging from the cliff walls and tree branches, emitting a pungent stench of blood.

"Master, they must have fled this place, perhaps afraid to confront us knowing we’re here."

Now with the area seemingly empty, Zhu Ming came to this speculation.

Before he finished speaking, Qin An’s lips slightly curled up.

"You’re thinking too much. When we arrived here, they already knew of the Dark Armor Sect’s escaped survivor and the cooperation with the Evil Extermination Bureau. If we let them slip away, they would have no place to stand."

Upon hearing these words, Zhu Ming displayed a look of astonishment.

Thinking carefully, he realized that what Qin An said seemed to be correct.

"But where could they be?" Zhu Ming instinctively asked.

Qin An replied lightly, "Of course, they’re right here, hidden in the shadows, intending to wipe out the only survivor, and eliminate me as well."

As soon as he said this, before Zhu Ming could react, he heard a series of whistling sounds around him.

Subconsciously looking up, he was met with a scene that chilled him to the bone.

From the shadows sprang hideous-looking insect demons, baring their fangs and claws.

Each insect demon exuded a terrifying aura, with each one possessing the Unity Realm, and even a few at the Perfection of Unity Realm.

They covered the sky, even obscuring the moonlight above.

Zhu Ming, who was only at the Unity Realm, upon witnessing this, instinctively warned, "Be careful, Master!"

But before his words landed, he felt a breeze behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Qin An already swinging Cold Star, leaving afterimages.

Every swing had Nine-Colored Void Essence covering it.

And with the violent explosion of the Nine-Colored Void Essence, each strike claimed the lives of dozens of insect demons.

In the dark night, his black robes and the Straight Blade whirred like a gust of wind, rendering him with a thick aura of mystery, as if he were Death himself.

Zhu Ming engrained this scene in his memory, which would accompany him for the rest of his life, never to be forgotten.

Qin An’s blade seemed like a merciless harvesting machine, and he was the epicenter of death. Any insect demon that approached him was decapitated.

As Qin An swung his Straight Blade, mowing down the insect demons like grass,

a sudden burst of golden light appeared the next moment.

Qin An turned to see a golden Big Ring Saber descending from the sky.

The wielder was none other than the Gu King dressed in golden armor.

Qin An slightly raised an eyebrow, "You’ve come just in time."

He vertically slashed with his Straight Blade, colliding with the golden Big Ring Saber.

"Boom!"

A thunderous boom echoed, and both Qin An and the Gu King staggered back two steps.

The Gu King raised his head in astonishment, "How can someone at the initial stage of the Void Shattering Realm withstand my strike?"

To this, Qin An’s response was with his Straight Blade.

The Straight Blade thrust with unstoppable force toward the Gu King’s chest.

The Gu King sensed a deathly aura enveloping him and cried out in panic, "Is it the supreme heritage, Li Qian, why aren’t you acting yet?"

As his words fell, Li Qian emerged from the darkness, waving his hands.

Several golden rays shot from his fingers, rapidly aiming at Qin An’s back.

Witnessing this, Qin An’s lips slightly curled up, "So there was another one, since you’re all here, let’s go to the underworld together..."
