The nine sage beasts rushed in front of Shuang Nu and said, "Young Mistress, although our strength has decreased greatly after the sage blood source was pulled out, we still have the strength for one more fight. We request you to allow us to accompany you to take our vengeance."
"You would only get in my way. Stay here and let me take vengeance for you."
Shuang Nu didn"t slow in the least and gradually disappeared from the valley.
Behind her, a group of sad old sage beasts was left.
After the sage blood source had been extracted from their bodies, they had fallen from the category of sage beasts and were only enormous creatures.
That was the truth of it, without the ancient bloodline, their strength had fallen from the quasi deity layer to Domain Sage layer. But one shouldn"t see it as a fall down a minor realm, for the difference between the two was extremely large.
If the nine sage beasts were equivalent to nine quasi deity realm experts three months ago, then even if the nine of them joined hands now, they would only be equivalent to one battle sage. And it would be the most ordinary level one.
There was no need to speak of the vast disparity between Domain Sage and Battle Sages when there was a great difference in strength even among the battle sages which could be extremely large. For instance, War G.o.d Temple"s Battle G.o.d, Bladewood"s Blade Ancestor, Ocean Shrine"s Ocean Monarch, Ling Shuang"s master Sword Sage, and so on were nothing like the ordinary sages.
They were clearly much more formidable; otherwise, how could humans have possibly suppressed the nine sage beasts into the forests and force them to sign a secret treaty to not leave Kunlun Mountains.
But now the situation was completely different. Shuang Nu had refined the sage blood source of the nine sage beasts, so she wasn"t any inferior to the great battle sages in strength.
The old sage beasts watched Shuang Nu leave the Kunlun Mountains. Once she took a step into the outside world, every powerhouse got a huge jolt of surprise.
After three days, Holy Spirit Continent"s Chaotian Sect saw a young woman wearing training clothes and carrying a sword on his back.
Once this cool and elegant woman appeared, the guard disciples guarding the door were stunned. By then, a few months had already pa.s.sed since the armistice between War G.o.d Temple"s faction and the other.
No one had any thoughts that this cool and elegant woman who appeared extremely young could have come to find trouble for their Chaotian Sect.
But the first words which came out of her mouth stunned the guard disciples of Chaotian Sect.
"Hand over the undying sage blood of Chaotian Bird or you will all be exterminated."
This line instantly enraged the disciples of Chaotian Sect, and many of them laughed heartily. Each one of them began to look suspiciously at the young woman dressed in training clothes.
What was Chaotian Bird"s sage blood? That was their magnificent sect"s foundation! The woman was crazy.
However, the next instant they began to die.
No one had expected that death would descend so quickly upon them. The young woman didn"t say anything more before taking out the blade on her back. With each strike, she took a life of an elite disciple of Chaotian Sect.
Regardless of whoever it was, no one could resist her blade. As the black light flickered around her, the heads and bodies of people could be seen flying in different directions. What terrified disciples the most was that the blood and vitality of the dead Chaotian Sect"s people were sucked in by her blade.
In a short while, several tens of elite disciples of Chaotian Sect guarding the first mountain were killed.
Gradually, someone realized that the other party"s strength was too formidable and far surpa.s.sed their level.
Soon, the arrow used to ask the sect for help which hadn"t been seen in a long time was finally shot into the sky by someone with a thunderous sound. The sight of it the entire Chaotian Sect was shaken.
But even then, people didn"t believe that the woman who wasn"t leaking out any energy could kill the enemy with just one strike and even alarm the Elder"s Pavilion.
That was until a Flux Master of Chaotian Sect was obliterated by her strike. Only then the disciples grew genuinely terrified!
Flux Sage!
"Quick, call the powerhouses who have stepped into flux sage realm! Inform the sect master!"
However, how could the panicked disciples know who their Chaotian Sect was facing?
Chaotian Sect"s day of reckoning had finally come. Perhaps even Li Yunmu who was in the Origin World wouldn"t have expected that the sect which was his mortal enemy would be turned into history before his return.
"Chaotian Sect"s undying sage blood, where is it?"
After half a day, Chaotian Sect"s eight elders and four great elders appeared together in the plaza.
They surrounded Shuang Nu, but she still spoke only one question.
"Madam, the undying sage blood isn"t in Chaotian Sect…"
"It had been stolen by a traitor disciple long ago."
The great elders of Chaotian Sect were forced to admit defeat for the first time in front of an enemy. They could see some flux sages having already fallen around the plaza, which was an ironclad proof that they could not fight back.
Flux sages also couldn"t resist the strikes of the strange woman. Even when the four great elders met face to face with her, they were shaken to the core and felt that it would be hard to survive fighting her. Despair filled the faces of Chaotian Sect"s remaining disciples.
It was the first time that they were seeing their remote and aloof elders whom they rarely saw admitting defeat.
"The person who stole it is called Li Qinghong. I request that you let our Chaotian Sect go, since the undying sage blood isn"t related to our sect anymore."
Seeing that Shuang Nu wasn"t speaking, the chief of the great elders again lowered his head.
Although the face of a Domain Sage was important, but this elder who was more than a hundred years old prioritized the existence of sect.
A loud thud could be heard.
He knelt down and began to fiercely knock his head against the ground.
Thud, thud, thud, thud...
With his example, the entire upper echelon of Chaotian Sect as well as all the disciples knelt down on the ground while crying bitterly in despair.
"Li Qinghong? Why am I so familiar with this name?"
Shuang Nu tilted her head in thought. After thinking for a long while, she remembered that she was a good friend of hers according to her additional memories.
"Li Yunmu, yes, this Li Yunmu in the memories is quite outstanding." She suddenly paused and coldly asked, "Who is this Li Yunmu?"
When Chaotian Sect"s people heard that name, one of them said, "Him, it was him. Li Qinghong has become his follower, so the undying sage blood is also in his han—"
Thud.
Before the person could finish speaking, his head went flying.
"Who is Li Yunmu?"
Shuang Nu became increasingly more anxious.
She suddenly discovered that hearing this name, fluctuations appeared in the consciousness sea which she had stabilized previously. She loathed those fluctuations.
"This, where was it, fast, people, bring all the material we have related to Li Yunmu. Bring everything, don"t hide anything," the sect master of Chaotian Sect commanded in a loud voice. However, the next instant, he felt a chill down his spine.
"Sect master, be careful!" the entire upper echelon of Chaotian Sect cried out in despair.
But it was too late, the sect master of Chaotian Sect had never expected that one moment the other party would be asking about Li Yunmu while the next they would launch strike and kill him.
Before his vision turned dark, the last scene that the sect master of Chaotian Sect saw was his body lying far away. But he didn"t despair because he had cultivated Infant Soul Preservation.
His mortal soul immediately fled toward the nearest great elder.
"This is… mortal soul? Such a pathetic mortal soul, die."
The next instant, Shuang Nu again moved. This time, the sect master of Chaotian Sect was completely obliterated.
"She actually killed the sect master! We will stake our lives to kill her!"
"Who is Li Yunmu? Tell me!"
Shuang Nu was feeling increasinly more vexed. She raised her head and hissed. The next instant, sword energy spread everywhere through Chaotian Sect"s main peak.
Blood converged into a vast b.l.o.o.d.y mist that covered the peak. In a day, Chaotian Sect was annihilated to the last person. Not one remained alive. Once this information spread through the world, all the powers and fluxers were extremely astonished.
