Divine Brilliance

Chapter 712: Twenty Four

In Daoling Vast Habitat, the sound of the bell rang out in all directions.

Xiao Xiangzi was sitting beside a tree, his brow rose and he looked above with worry.

This was the 17th bell today. Since today, the atmosphere within the Vast Habitat had started to become solemn, more serious each moment. At this time, everyone was terrified.

At the start, they were excited when they learned that the Sect was about to Attack Donglin, now that excitement was totally gone.

All that was left was worry and unease.

The person had left a dark shadow on his Dao Heart, not only could it not be removed, but it also became thicker.

Gantian Zong Shou!

Xiao Xiangzi’s clenched his fists tight and his energy fluctuated, causing a few fish in the lake to turn on their bellies.

Xiao Xiangzi impassively bent down and looked, not worrying too much about the fish.

Then, he thought back to how he was probably like the fish in Zong Shou’s eyes.

“Junior Brother Xiao Xiangzi!”

A voice filled with joy sounded. Xiao Xiangzi’s brow turned solemn, but then he relaxed.

This was his Senior Brother Qiuhua who had stepped into the Spirit Realm a decade ago. He returned back to the Cloud World just a few days ago.

Although Wu Xu was Grade-9, he forcefully suppressed his cultivation. He could have stepped into the Celestial Realm long ago. If it wasn’t for this matter, he would just need to go into secluded meditation for a few years to form a Pellet and enter the Celestial Realm...

Although Xu Wu was unable to break through, he had taught dozens of Spirit Realm disciples. Qiuhua was one of them...

Seemingly also noticing the few dead fish beside him, Qiuhua shook his head, “Are you worried because of Master? Junior Brother’s Heart Realm still needs some training.”

Xiao Xiangzi agreed silently, but he wasn’t just worried about Wu Xu. He looked around at the stone path as groups of Daoling Vast Habitat disciples passed.

However, none of them were as warm as before, there was no one who bowed toward him and greeted him. They all looked over at him with a weird gaze.

The few people who always followed him in the past were all gone.

Xiao Xiangzi had seen similar scenes a year ago so he wasn’t as affected as before.

He also knew that at this moment there were many people who were hoping for his Master to fall.

However, at this moment, he found things a little weird. The eyes of many were filled with rage and hate like they saw him as an enemy.

“Stop looking! These are all the disciples who survived from those sects that were wiped out.”

Qiuhua shook his head, his gaze fluctuating, “Six hours ago Shuiming Sect was wiped out! The entire sect was destroyed, 2,000 disciples all died in battle. There was no one who survived under that person’s sword. The Shuiming Sect Leader was just Initial Spirit Realm, even he was unable to speak of what happened. Only 30 minutes ago did someone notice...”

Xiao Xiangzi exclaimed, he was counting in his heart, his gaze also became even darker.

This was already the 23rd sect, the 23rd one that was wiped out...

From morning to now, sixteen hours have passed. Every two hours there would be at least three sects wiped out, thousands falling!

He could imagine the huge pressure on Wu Xu...

“I have never seen such a fierce and domineering person in my life!”

Qiuhua took in a deep breath and then he calmed down.

“However, don’t worry. Master went through so much these 300 years so he won’t fall in the hands of that kid!”

His words were firm and filled with confidence. Xiao Xiangzi gave an awkward smile, where did his confidence come from?

Even if they won this battle, it would be tough for them to explain the huge losses.

However, he calmed down and knew that Qiuhua had followed Wu Xu for longer and understood Master better than he did. He didn’t say those words for no reason...

He looked into the sky at the Ten Thousand Soul Lamp Room. Who knows what they were discussing there now?

※※※※

At this moment, within the room there was a cloud light illusionary image that was quietly floating in the air.

Inside of it was an image of a ruin and also two rows of huge words on the ground.

“Seventeen, 38,223...”

The one at the front referred to the number of sects he had wiped out while the other was the number of people he killed.

It wasn’t blood red but it was dark beige, that was because the blood on the sword mark had already solidified.

Looking out, it was still extremely eye catching.

It was like it was saying to them that since they killed millions of innocent people, then he would kill 38,000 of their disciples! There would be more...

This was from six hours ago. Now, six more hours had already passed.

A total of 23 sects had already been wiped out. Close to 50,000 disciples had died...

The image recorded by the illusionary talisman slowly dissipated. The expressions of the people in the room turned back to normal. It wasn’t like they didn’t care, but that they had seen too many scenes like this today and they were now numb from it!

“We need to make this demon stop. The sects to the east of the Central Continent are all terrified and are unable to hold on anymore.”

“That’s right! The few sects I am close to are heavily defending, but they might not even be able to defend.”

“During the battle at Xiuyun Mountain, the entire mountain was broken with one sword! How is he Grade-9? How is he Heaven Realm?”

“We must surround him and kill him!”

“At 5:30 he wiped out Shoushan Temple. At 7 he wiped out Huiyun Sect 3,000 miles east. When we thought he would fight several thousand miles away, he wiped out Xuankong Sect 600 miles away. It is too difficult to track him since he has no fixed path. We can’t trace his steps so how do we surround him?”

“The Xue Family deserves to die. How did that Illusionary Heart Mirror fall into his hands?”

The moment these words were spoken, the people within the hall were all silent. Without the mirror, no matter how Zong Shou hid his tracks, they would have been able to find him.

More people looked toward Wu Xu, their expressions extremely sharp.

Everything was his fault. However, during these few hours he did nothing.

At this moment, Wu Xu had opened his eyes and he was still extremely calm.

“Work together!”

Everyone in the area held their breath.

They had to gather several nearby sects together to defend from the strongest mountain

Fourteen hours ago when Xiuyun Sect was wiped out, Wu Xu had suggested that.

An arrow was easily broken but what about three or five?

At that time, everyone rejected it.

It was not bad to gather the power of the sects in one spot, but what about those mines? The herb gardens? Their mountain? The lost reputation? How were they going to make up for that?

After the matter, will they be controlled by others?

Just as there was an awkward silence, a red light charged in from outside.

At this moment, the disciple on duty was already used to it and didn’t stop, allowing the person to enter.

In the next instant, a panicked Taoist entered.

“Palace Head! A few minutes ago someone saw Zong Shou 300 miles away from Pushan Temple...”

Wujue’s eyes opened wide in rage as he looked at two soul lamps extinguish at the same time. His heart sunk as he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
