Chapter 281 Revenge

The Taoist Shouren had already regained his composure. Lu Ye definitely had no idea how many sects had acted against him.

Because everything had happened too suddenly.

Although these six sects had acted despicably, the other thirty or so sects had remained well-behaved this time.

Especially since these sects had even spoken up for him.

They couldn’t let Lu Ye kill the wrong people.

He had to inform Lu Ye and let him know exactly who his enemies were.

But he didn’t have Lu Ye’s Sound Transmission Stone.

That didn’t matter.

He had a solution!

"Everyone, if you want to protect your sects, there’s only one way now!"

"What way?"

"Immediately, scatter in all directions and use your loudest voices to spread the word that this was the doing of six sects! Strive to make sure Lu Ye hears it—this way, your sects should be spared!" said the Taoist Shouren.

"Just like this!"

The Taoist Shouren took a deep breath, and then a tremendous voice erupted from him.

"Lu Ye, this matter was orchestrated by the Eternal Sect, the Wang Family, the Invincible Sword Sect, the Shanhai Sect, the Three Immortals Mountain, and the Supreme Dao Sect! The other sects are all innocent!"

The booming voice transformed into rolling soundwaves, spreading in all directions.

Upon hearing this, the people from the six sects immediately turned grim.

"Hurry, notify your sects and yourselves—everyone must keep shouting without pause! We must make sure Lu Ye knows exactly who harmed him this time!"

"And you can even hire powerful cultivators with spirit stones to shout the message! Spare no cost to spread this news across the entire Fourth Heaven—the voices must be loud!"

The Taoist Shouren still had a plan.

In an instant, roars resounded through the heavens and earth.

Lu Ye was flying at extreme speed when he suddenly heard faint shouts.

He listened carefully.

His heart immediately understood.

It was likely true—as long as the Eternal Sect and the Wang Family were involved, the information was probably reliable.

First, destroy these eight sects, then deal with the rest!

His route shifted.

The locations of the eight sects were quickly linked in Lu Ye’s mind.

The Eternal Sect!

Everyone had long since held their breath.

They didn't smell any fragrance, but their eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

Their flesh roared, their souls screamed, and their Great Dao thirsted.

Thus, figures soared into the air, their eyes crimson as they charged toward Lu Ye.

Lu Ye immediately activated the Heavenly Demon Bloodmorph Dash.

The second faction—the Wang Family!

"Hurry, everyone evacuate to the major cities! Do not return unless summoned by the sect! If we cannot avenge today's grudge, we must grow stronger and repay it in the future!"

"Yes!"

The Shanhai Sect reacted the fastest, immediately dispersing its disciples.

They emptied their sect at the quickest possible speed.

By the time Lu Ye arrived, the Shanhai Sect was nothing but an empty shell.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

Quite clever.

No rush—let’s slaughter a batch first!

The Invincible Sword Sect was also swift, similarly scattering its disciples.

Aside from these two sects, the other four factions had no time to evacuate.

Every living being within these four factions was taken by Lu Ye, who then charged toward the Profound Thunder Array.

The Human Emperor Banner waved.

Fully prepared.

Swift!

Smooth!

Countless figures blotted the sky.

Thick bolts of lightning erupted as the Profound Thunder Array's power began to surge, illuminating the land.

The sky filled with thunder, enveloping a vast area. Even before unleashing its true might, it was already terrifying to behold.

Lu Ye suddenly halted.

Instantly, three Heaven-Earth Realm experts unleashed their full power, their devastating attacks slamming into Lu Ye.

"Boom!"

Though Lu Ye's body had reached the Sixth Tribulation and was shielded by true essence, it still exploded.

The Heaven-Earth Realm—far too powerful!

The Fragrance of the Dao spread once more, though this time his flesh did not completely shatter.

Lu Ye didn't care either. After all, the Incense of Enlightenment was definitely finite and couldn't be endless.

As long as he could disperse a little, he would disperse a little.

Lu Ye felt as if an entire century had passed without hearing chaotic noises.

Because he simply couldn’t enter the city.

Let alone go into the city to enjoy some good food.

How miserable!

Lu Ye stepped into the formation.

A continuous stream of people rushed into the grand formation as terrifying violet-gold lightning began to surge wildly. Among it, pure violet lightning streaked through—wherever it passed, all living beings turned to dust.

The Human Emperor Banner swiftly began collecting souls.

More people kept pouring into the formation.

Lu Ye watched calmly as the area covered by the violet lightning expanded.

The dreadful lightning was enough to reduce everything in the Fourth Heaven to dust.

Except for the Devourbeast!

No matter how many people there were, they would all be pulverized by the formation.

Before long, the world fell silent, with only occasional rumbles of thunder.

Large quantities of spatial stones were collected by Lu Ye.

Then, his figure vanished once more.

With the people slaughtered, the next step was to plunder these sects clean.

Who knows, he might even run into survivors!

Lu Ye had always been kind-hearted. What he feared and hated most was letting others suffer separation.

Originally, a sect had so many fellow disciples, all happily united. Lu Ye would spare no effort to ensure everyone could visit the Human Emperor Banner as guests.

The benefits within the Human Emperor Banner needed no elaboration. Just look at Jiang Die and Chu Ling—both had even gained some weight inside it.

All because the Human Emperor Banner offered excellent welfare and treatment!

And no worries at all!

Though there was some slight pain, science had proven that mild pain could sharpen one’s thinking—another advantage!

The Shanhai Sect and the Invincible Sword Sect had already disbanded their disciples, scattering them everywhere.

They might have escaped easily, but their actions terrified countless people in the Fourth Heaven.

Damn it, seriously...

Are the Shanhai Sect and the Invincible Sword Sect even doing anything human now?

By allowing your disciples to infiltrate various cities, you are dragging everyone into danger alongside you—even using them as your human shields!

What if Lu Ye cares nothing for others' lives? If a single city harbors disciples of the Invincible Sword Sect or the Shanhai Sect, and Lu Ye mercilessly slaughters the entire populace...

Wouldn’t they die unjustly?

No, we cannot let these two sects' members enter the cities!

We must guard against them at all costs!

In an instant, followers of these two factions became like rats scurrying across the street—hounded and reviled wherever they went.

Anyone discovered to belong to these sects was immediately driven out.

Some even captured members of these sects and employed the "Great Memory Restoration Technique" to extract their divine abilities and secret arts.

Once, these sects coveted Lu Ye’s techniques and secrets—now, others covet theirs.

What is this called?

Good and evil will always be repaid,

Providence moves in cycles.

If you doubt it, look up—

Heaven spares none!

While Lu Ye was purging the six sects across the Fourth Heaven,

Bai Qiulan, after days of inner turmoil, finally steeled her resolve.

"Hong Ling, don’t blame your master... I do this for your sake..."

Bai Qiulan could no longer continue, her sorrow gradually shifting...
