Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 272 - 233: Moon Slashing_2

Moreover, this group of people wasn’t just there to watch from the riverside; they were the type who wouldn’t mind adding fuel to the fire, and at this point, some had already jumped into the fray.

Of course, they weren’t targeting Tie Dan. Maintaining the security of the Capital and preserving the peace of the Imperial City, cleaning up after the messes of the lords, these weren’t his responsibilities.

These people were just taking advantage of the chaos to loot and fish in troubled waters.

Now, a large group of cultivators were breaking into homes one after another, massacring families, burning, killing, and looting. Those who acted quickly already put on green robes, wore bamboo hats, and carried swords, dressing exactly like Tie Dan...

But they were much more ruthless than Tie Dan. Tie Dan merely charged in and hacked people down, fulfilling their calamity.

After all, if you belong to the Three Constellations Immortal Gate, enjoying all the wealth of the mortal world, living for a hundred and eighty years in vain but can’t even block his sword, then you’ve met your end and deserved to die.

And this group simply came for the goods.

Beheading, dismembering, skinning and deboning, collecting blood and binding souls, crushing bones to dust, scraping the ground three feet deep, ransacking homes and exterminating clans. They dug up all the gold and silver buried beneath the ancestral houses and even knocked out the dogs in the yards to take them away.

Killing all the men, capturing all the women, looting all the property, burning all the houses; in the blink of an eye, turning it into a flat piece of land. Anything that breathed became a soul under the knife, anything that could move became a ghost under the sword. Even the scattered Nascent Soul spirits were collected with Jing Fan Magic Flags, pots, pans, and bowls, all taken back for alchemy, artifact refining, and practicing.

In this short period, the surroundings were filled with screams and wailing, flames soaring into the sky, a scene of ghosts crying and gods howling, unbearable to witness.

However, these people also followed some rules, each picking a large manor, throwing a magic flag talisman before acting, or simply setting a fire to mark it first, then slaughtering with abandon.

Those passing by saw places were taken and didn’t fight over them. After all, living in a large mansion or villa in the Imperial City means extreme wealth, Heavenly Materials Treasures, gold and silver jewelry, spiritual beast elixirs, and large populations; enough for everyone to share.

But bizarrely, facing such riot and plundering purgatory scenes, the Divine Venerable Immortal Army gathering in the sky didn’t stop them. Those Spirit Generals hidden in the six-colored auspicious clouds only stopped the arriving Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, arranged them into a large formation both in the sky and on the ground, encircling the areas of dozens of Star Squares nearby, sealing streets and prohibiting ingress and egress, as if they were digging a firebreak. The creatures inside the walls seemed like tributes offered to the Demon God.

Both sides thus tacitly agreed, doing their own things as if a certain understanding had long been reached.

Seeing such a scene, Tie Dan also understood the meaning of the Immortal Palace, preferring to avoid further troubles by letting the people and animals in this enclosure fall victim to the chaotic bandits’ massacre and plunder, as long as the Three Constellations lords’ leisure wasn’t disturbed.

So Tie Dan neither rushed into breaking the formations nor provoked the wrath of the Immortal Palace, but cautiously avoided the burning, killing, and looting crowd, carefully stealthily approaching the place where that Mad Woman had fallen earlier.

All the cultivators around were busy robbing, and no one noticed him, so his path was smooth, and Tie Dan quickly arrived at the ruins leveled by the previous great battle.

Tie Dan originally thought he was just there to collect a body, but he hadn’t expected that the Mad Woman indeed had a deep Immortal Fate, her life not yet snuffed out, causing two groups to fight over her, still not dead at this moment.

Indeed, focusing his eyes, he saw one side was a group of six cultivators in black cloaks and masks, a short person feeding an elixir to Shen Jianjia for healing, while another expert of deep power and unknown realm shadowed the short person closely.

The other four stood in front, lined up, displaying Nascent Soul Level magic treasures, looking fierce, but their cultivation was actually similar to Tie Dan, all at Golden Core Peak.

And on the other side were three sword cultivators in green robes and bamboo hats, veiled faces, standing in a formation, the leading person also being an expert, equally profound, with cultivation entirely inscrutable, with two others behind at Golden Core Realm as well.

One of them had both sleeves cut short, clearly showing injured arms, seemingly having just fought a match, hands severed by a sword, recently dressed by a companion.

Tie Dan looked at both sides, feeling a moment of dilemma.

Actually, just by assessing the situation, it seemed quite clear; Shen Jianjia was clearly harmed by the three, while the six were saving her, one side good, one side bad, and one could simply rush in and hack at the three in green robes. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

But Tie Dan, now experienced, born with eyes of fire, merely observing the flow of Qi in both routes, the acupoints and Dao Meridian utilized in circulating Cloud Qi and doing exercises, instantly discerned the background of both factions. Hmm...

The group in black robes were from the Divine Sect!

The group in green robes were from the Sword Sect!

How were the allegiances all turned upside down!

And before Tie Dan could express shock, the scene was already unfolding.

One only heard the Sword Sect expert sneer,

"Hmph! How with so much in your own house can you have time to meddle in our grudges."

The Divine Sect expert remained silent, like a wooden sculpture.

But the short person spoke in a muffled voice behind the mask,

"You three against a girl, a Grandmaster actually launching a sneak attack from behind, utterly shameless, is this a Mystic Sect thing to do!"

Tie Dan frowned.

This voice, a woman? From the Divine Sect? Could it be...

The Sword Sect expert said coldly,

"Demon Cult Saintess? Very well, no more words needed, you all must die here!"

The woman wasn’t afraid, retorted back,

"Pah! Only capable of sneak attacks and bullying women! If you really have the skills, come over here!"
