Misty Peak.
The entire sect fell silent when the news of Su Zimo's death in the Dragon Burial Valley spread.
Xuan Yi and the other two had only been separated from Su Zimo for slightly more than a month.
To think that they would be separated by life and death now!
It did not matter how the cultivators outside viewed Su Zimo, whether they called him a demon with an unchanging wild nature or a fiend with a murderous nature.
In the hearts of Xuan Yi and the others, Su Zimo would forever be a disciple of Misty Peak!
In the battle of Dongling Valley, in order to protect his fellow sect members, he did not hesitate to use himself as bait to lure everyone from Blood Crow Palace away at the risk of dying.
In the sect competition, he shone brightly and soared into the skies in front of everyone with an intimidating aura, causing all the sects and cultivators who were waiting to mock Misty Peak to shut their mouths forever!
In the Great Qian Ruins, he single-handedly defeated the powerful enemies of the three sects and protected the safety of Xuan Yi and the other two, allowing them to return with a full load. As a result, the disheveled old man's injuries were healed as well.
He was the number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou!
He was at Extreme Foundation Establishment and was the second Human Emperor!
His potential was limitless and even the emperor viewed him in a different light!
Misty Peak was proud of him. Unfortunately …
Everything vanished with Su Zimo's leap.
Liu Hui sighed gently. "Xuanyu Daoren declared that he wanted to destroy the Su family. Given his Void Reversion cultivation and Glass Palace's background, the Su family is most likely doomed."
"Mortals should not be implicated in the grudges between cultivators. To think that an immortal sect like Glass Palace would do something as despicable as that! What a dogsh * t immortal sect! How despicable! "The disheveled old man cursed hatefully.
Xuan Yi said darkly, "I'm guessing that Xuanyu Daoren wouldn't take action personally against a mortal given his status."
Even so, there was no sect or faction in the North Region that dared to protect the Su family.
It wasn't just because of Xuanyu Daoren and the Veluriyam Palace. It was also because Su Zimo's identity was far too sensitive.
Furthermore, during the Battle of the Cinnabar Fruit, he had killed too many geniuses of the Northern Domain and incinerated over a hundred Genying Zhenjun. He had offended almost all of the major sects and factions in the Northern Domain!
Whoever dared to protect the Su Family would be going against the entire Northern Region!
The Great Zhou Dynasty did not dare to do so.
Misty Peak didn't dare either.
Once this matter was exposed, a calamity would befall him in an instant!
To be fair, the fact that Ethereal Peak did not draw a line with Su Zimo at such a critical juncture was already a huge pressure on them.
Patriarch Lingyun released his spirit consciousness and scanned his surroundings before whispering, "Senior crane has already left the mountain for Yan Country. I hope she's not too late. This matter is of great importance and must not be leaked out. Otherwise, the sect will be exterminated! "
Xuan Yi and the others hurriedly nodded.
At this moment, a powerful and familiar aura rushed over from not far away.
The old immortal crane had returned!
Everyone from Misty Peak was invigorated.
The old immortal crane pushed the door open and entered, unable to conceal her fatigue. Surveying her surroundings, she sighed softly. "I was late."
When they heard that, everyone from Misty Peak felt their hearts skip a beat.
The old immortal crane said, "Xuan Yu did not reveal himself due to his status. He sent a group of dozens of Glass Palace disciples to the capital of Yan Country but the King of Yan, Su Hong, is nowhere to be found."
Everyone from Misty Peak heaved a sigh of relief but they were puzzled.
Su Hong's whereabouts were unknown. As long as he did not fall into the hands of Glass Palace, he would be safe for the time being. Why did the old immortal crane say that she was late?
Why was there a deep sense of sorrow in her tone as well?
The old immortal crane continued, "Glass Palace found nothing and was enraged. In order to force Su Hong to appear, they ordered for the city to be massacred!"
Everyone's mouths were agape with disbelief in their eyes. Their expressions were sorrowful and they could not recover from their shock for a long time.
Massacring the entire city, these two short words, yet they sounded so heavy right now.
Almost everyone in the capital of Yan Country were mortals!
In the face of the immense strength of cultivators, those mortals could not defend against them and their lives were akin to ants!
Even though they did not witness it personally, everyone from Misty Peak could imagine the despair and helplessness those mortals felt against cultivators.
It was as though everyone could hear the tragic cries.
They could almost see countless pairs of frail arms struggling!
The old immortal crane closed her eyes and sighed, as though she could not bear to recall, "By the time I arrived, Yan City was filled with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. It was a scene of devastation that resembled hell!"
The disheveled old man grit his teeth and spat out, "Beast!"
"Are they really not afraid of being punished by the heavens for the grudges of cultivators and causing such a massacre?!" Liu Hui's voice was trembling.
"There's no such thing as heavenly punishment in this world," Xuan Yi laughed mockingly.
The old immortal crane continued, "After more than half of the city was massacred, cultivators of the fiend sects arrived. Their leader was the Pure Maiden of the fiend sects and they fought a huge battle against Glass Palace before they were forced to retreat."
"In that case, there's a high chance that Pure Maiden Sect was the one who rescued Su Hong."
"That should be the case."
"Thankfully, the fiend sects appeared. Otherwise, the mortals in Yan City …"
Everyone from Misty Peak discussed but their voices came to an abrupt stop.
Everyone went silent.
The immortal sects were the ones who killed but the fiend sects were the ones who saved.
It had to be said that this was truly ironic.
Who was the immortal and who was the fiend?
Right from the beginning, Misty Peak's foundation was to slay demons and protect the masses.
But now, when the words' thankfully, the fiend sects appeared 'were said, everyone's beliefs in the past were gradually crumbling.
Su Zimo was a demonic cultivator. Were they going to kill Su Zimo?
The fiend sects had already saved the masses. Were they going to slay the fiend sects as well?
The former disciple of Misty Peak, Yan Beichen, was a fiend.
Furthermore, he was the greatest fiend of all fiends, Shura!
However, Yan Beichen had once said that he had killed countless people in his life but he had never killed a single mortal!
Shura was a killing god but he did not kill indiscriminately.
Compared to everyone from Glass Palace, a fiend as such was many times more powerful.
After a moment of silence, just as everyone thought that the matter was over, the old immortal crane pursed her lips and took a deep breath before continuing, "Everyone from Glass Palace retreated but they were indignant. In order to vent their anger, they massacred 13 cities along the way …"
"What!"
Everyone from Misty Peak was shocked.
"Within a single day, countless people in the territory of Yan Country lost their homes and their families. The death toll alone is more than 30 million!"
No natural disaster would be as terrifying as this!
True disasters were all man-made.
Xuan Yi gripped his fists and said coldly, "Even if Glass Palace is an immortal sect, aren't they afraid of incurring the wrath of the entire cultivation world by killing the innocent?"
"They have sufficient reasons,"
The old immortal crane shook her head with a look of mockery in her eyes. "Glass Palace declared that the appearance of the Pure Maiden Sect of the fiend sects in Yan Country proves that Yan Country is colluding with the fiend sects. The mortals of Yan Country have long fallen into the fiend path. Glass Palace is slaying demons and defending the righteous path. "
Everyone from Misty Peak felt a sense of helplessness surge through their hearts and their chests felt stuffy.
That reason sounded so laughable and ridiculous.
Everyone knew that Glass Palace massacred mortals because they were indignant and were trying to vent their anger.
However, nobody could refute that.
That was how the world worked – strength reigned supreme.
Everyone from Misty Peak knew the ins and outs of everything and knew that the mortals of Yan Country were innocent.
However, how many of them could truly see the truth?
There were probably countless mortals in other vassal states and other corners who were unaware of the truth and applauded in gratitude that immortals had appeared to eliminate demons and defend the righteous path for them …
Mortals at the bottom of society were the easiest to deceive and fool.
