Chapter 93: Wu Gangfei's Easy Demise
Murong Yue glanced at Shen Mo.
Shen Mo nodded slightly.
Murong Yue cleared her throat, infused her voice with spiritual power, and loudly declared, "The Heavy Weapon Sect has injured our Qingxuan Sect elders, killed our disciples, and occupied our mines. Their evil deeds are numerous, and their crimes are evident to all!"
"Today, we, the Qingxuan Sect, have come to demand an explanation from Wu Gangfei, the master of the Heavy Weapon Sect!"
"We are here only for Wu Gangfei!"
"Those unrelated, leave immediately!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect shouted in unison.
"Those unrelated, leave immediately!"
"Those unrelated, leave immediately!"
Their voices, forming an unstoppable momentum, surged towards the gates of the Heavy Weapon Sect, echoing in the sky.
The two disciples guarding the gate, feeling as if granted amnesty, abandoned their weapons and fled in panic.
During their escape, they even tore off their Heavy Weapon Sect robes.
With these two leading the way, more disciples immediately followed suit and ran.
The Heavy Weapon Sect's entrance fell into utter chaos.
"Stay where you are! Do not panic!"
From within the sect leader's courtyard, Wu Gangfei's thunderous roar erupted.
The next moment, he emerged, wielding a heavy machete like a giant ape, smashing through the wall.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair stood on end. He looked less like the leader of a second-rate sect and more like a crazed beast.
"Reinforcements from the Feishuang Sect and the Lingxi Sect will arrive soon!"
"Once they get here, the Qingxuan Sect will be crushed like clay chickens and pottery dogs!"
"Anyone who dares to betray the sect now will be killed by me on the spot!"
Wu Gangfei glared around with bloodshot eyes.
Those he looked at trembled and lowered their heads.
Wu Gangfei was right; reinforcements from the Feishuang Sect and Lingxi Sect were supposed to arrive.
But where were they?
The Qingxuan Sect had already surrounded the Heavy Weapon Sect.
Why hadn't their reinforcements arrived?
As time ticked by, the anticipated help still did not appear.
The disciples of the Heavy Weapon Sect, including their leader Wu Gangfei, grew increasingly doubtful.
On Shen Mo's orders, Elder Li shouted towards the Heavy Weapon Sect.
"People of the Heavy Weapon Sect, don't wait for the reinforcements from Feishuang Sect and Lingxi Sect. They are not coming!"
"We repeat, we are here only for Wu Gangfei. Those unrelated, leave immediately!"
These words, infused with spiritual power, quickly reached the ears of everyone in the Heavy Weapon Sect.
Everyone began to doubt and feel uncertain.
Several elders of the Heavy Weapon Sect exchanged glances and subtly moved closer to Wu Gangfei.
Wu Gangfei suddenly roared, "How can they not come? Did you... did you not deliver the goods? Did you swallow them yourselves?"
He raised his heavy machete and pointed it at the surrounding elders. "You... did you steal the treasures? If not, the reinforcements from Feishuang Sect and Lingxi Sect would have already arrived!"
A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
It seemed he could strike with his machete at any moment.
The elders were startled and couldn't say anything coherent for a while.
Wu Gangfei began to laugh hysterically.
"The thing I regret most in my life is not making my son the junior sect leader. You useless elders, you all deserve to die!"
He swung his heavy machete, aiming at the nearest elder!
Boom!
The elder couldn't react in time.
He instinctively raised his arms to block.
With a crack, blood splattered.
The elder's arms were severed at the root, and his chest was split open!
A Core Formation stage elder instantly became a corpse on the ground!
"Die! All of you die! I'll kill you traitorous dogs!"
Wu Gangfei roared madly, swinging his machete, killing anyone he saw.
Disciples below the Core Formation stage were wounded or killed upon contact.
"The sect leader has gone mad! Run! Run!"
"Oh my god, the sect leader is crazy! Destroy the sect's barrier, let the Qingxuan Sect people in! Only they can save us now!"
The disciples fled, running towards the mountain.
Although the elders were Core Formation stage cultivators, after years of pampered living, the sight of blood finally rekindled their old bravery.
"Everyone, let's join forces to kill this beast! We can't let him drag the Heavy Weapon Sect into the fire pit!"
"Agreed!"
The elders immediately united and attacked Wu Gangfei together!
Screams, roars, and wails filled the air...
Various sounds echoed within the Heavy Weapon Sect's mountain gate.
Even from the base of the mountain, Shen Mo and the others could hear the commotion.
At this moment, the faint glow that had been enveloping the Heavy Weapon Sect's mountain gate rapidly dimmed and then completely vanished.
This was the sect's heavily invested lower-grade earth formation, reputed to be extremely sturdy. It was said that even thirty Core Formation stage cultivators attacking simultaneously wouldn't damage it. Yet now, it had been sabotaged from within.
Elder Li sneered, "Looks like we don't need to do anything ourselves."
"Master, it's time to go up the mountain," Shen Mo smiled.
Murong Yue nodded in agreement, "Everyone, follow me!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Over twenty streaks of light instantly charged towards the Heavy Weapon Sect's mountain gate.
Shen Mo and the others followed at a leisurely pace.
The downfall of the Heavy Weapon Sect was inevitable.
There was no need to rush.
Meanwhile, the scattered cultivators who had been planning to take advantage of the situation were left bewildered.
What was going on?
The reinforcements from the Feishuang Sect and the Lingxi Sect didn't show up?
The Heavy Weapon Sect's great formation was broken so easily?
Wu Lan's face turned extremely grim, "Let's go, we can't stay here."
"Yes," the rogue cultivators behind her, equally terrified, started to flee.
Other rogue cultivators, watching them run in panic, began to think deeply.
Some of them, with a glint in their eyes, decided to follow at a distance.
...
At the Heavy Weapon Sect's martial arts arena.
Not long after, Shen Mo saw the heavily injured Wu Gangfei lying in a pool of blood.
Beside him lay several elders of the Heavy Weapon Sect, some dead and some barely clinging to life.
Only two of them had lost their arms but managed to survive.
Clearly, the crazed Wu Gangfei had fought against many and even managed to kill quite a few Core Formation stage cultivators.
This scene made Shen Mo shake his head repeatedly.
These elders of the Heavy Weapon Sect were truly accustomed to a pampered life. Though they had reached the early and mid-Core Formation stages, their actual combat ability was likely no match even for a novice at the Core Formation stage.
Murong Yue looked at Wu Gangfei and sighed, "His meridians are completely shattered. He's still alive, but not for long."
Shen Mo carefully examined Wu Gangfei's life panel.
Seeing that his fate was indeed to end today, he nodded.
"Deputy Sect Master Liu, Elder Song, you stay here. The rest of you elders, follow me to the Heavy Weapon Sect's treasure vault!" Murong Yue commanded loudly.
"Yes!"
Elder Li and the others were overjoyed.
Finally, the moment had come!
They had long heard that the Heavy Weapon Sect was incredibly wealthy.
What treasures lay within their sect's vault?
Liu Yuanfeng snorted at this arrangement.
Murong Yue was obviously excluding him on purpose.
"Liu... Liu... false information..."
The dying Wu Gangfei spotted Liu Yuanfeng and suddenly looked as if he had seen a mortal enemy.
He extended his finger, glaring at Liu Yuanfeng.
Liu Yuanfeng flicked his finger, sending a burst of spiritual power that pierced Wu Gangfei's throat.
"The dead should take their grievances to the underworld," he said coldly.
Song Chaofeng, standing nearby, watched with a faint smile.
Meanwhile, Shen Mo had also entered the sect's treasure vault.
The treasures there were indeed abundant and dazzling.
They clearly showcased the heritage of a second-rate sect.
But... where was the Five-Colored Lotus?
The Five-Colored Lotus I want!
Shen Mo frowned and then noticed Xiao Fan, who had entered the vault with the group.
He glanced at Xiao Fan's life panel.
[Recent Opportunity: Today, while entering the Heavy Weapon Sect's treasure vault, he will accidentally discover a hidden mechanism. Intending to keep it for himself, he will avoid opening it immediately due to the presence of many people. Tonight, after the vault has been cleared out, he will return, open the mechanism, enter the cave beneath the vault, and obtain twelve lotus seeds from the Five-Colored Lotus.]
