…
"Master Lei and the others are back," a disciple said.
Lin Zhong and Mingxiu looked in the direction of the mountain gate. Soon, they saw Master Lei and a few members of the White Robe Sword Sect returning.
Zhu Minglang also looked over and saw that Master Lei was in a sorry state. Even the members of the White Robe Sword Sect were injured.
Furthermore, when they gave chase last night, there were more than these people. They had clearly chased the air. How did they end up like this?
"We were ambushed by the detestable Demonic Sect!" Master Lei's face was covered in dust, and his eyes were filled with anger.
"Where are the other disciples, Master Lei?" Lin Zhong asked.
"They're dead," Master Lei said.
Lin Zhong and Ming Xiu were both shocked.
With Master Lei and a group of executing-level swordmasters, such a group could clear out a small Demonic Sect lair. How did they end up like this?
"We were careless. We shouldn't have chased so deeply. However, we must take revenge. Wait until I report this to my master. He must seek justice for our dead disciples! "Master Lei said.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his complexion was terrible.
Furthermore, the surviving executors of the White Robe Sword Sect were also dejected and looked frightened.
They didn't seem to be faking it.
Zhu Minglang looked at the Demonic Sect's female disciple, Ye Youying, in confusion.
Wasn't the Demonic Sect member they were chasing right in front of him?
Furthermore, they had been in the same room last night. Zhu Minglang was fast asleep, but Stegosaurus had been watching her the whole time. She hadn't left her room last night.
Ye Youying was equally confused. She had no idea what had happened.
"Did you run into your accomplices?" Zhu Minglang asked in a low voice.
"If I had accomplices, would I need to ask you for help?" Ye Youying was displeased.
"Then what were they chasing? Many of them died." Zhu Minglang scratched his head.
"How would I know?" Ye Youying said.
…
They followed Master Lei to the White Hall of the Sword Manor. Many hall masters appeared. Some executors and disciples surrounded the White Hall of the Sword Manor.
Inside the White Hall, a middle-aged female master sat on a wooden armchair. She stared at a few seriously injured disciples with a gloomy expression.
"After we lost track of the Demonic Sect, I used a tracking talisman and found the Demonic Sect's stronghold at a roadside inn. Junior Brother Xiao was too reckless and fell into an ambush when he led the deacons in. When I attacked, a huge arm appeared from the ground and stopped me. By the time I got rid of the arm, Junior Brother Xiao and the deacons were all dead …" Division Commander Lei recalled the situation and said with some pain and annoyance.
"Are those disciples of the Devil Sect still in the inn?" The master asked.
"Yes, they are obviously carrying out some kind of Demon Summoning Ritual and have gathered a large number of experts. Junior Brother Xiao is also worried that these Demon Sect members will summon some Demon King Evil Monarch and harm the people of this area, so he wants to go in and investigate." Division Master Lei said.
"Are you sure it's the Demon Summoning Cult?" The master was more cautious.
"Yes, when we were escaping, many demons appeared in the forest and chased us all the way. I was also injured when I fought with the arm, so I couldn't protect all the executors. In the end, only a few of us were left. Master, these Demon Sect members are so arrogant. If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid they'll even flatten our White Robe Sword Sect!" Division Master Lei said.
Division Master Lei's description was very detailed, especially the arm that appeared from the ground. Its strength was terrifying. Division Master Lei was the head instructor of all the disciples of the White Mountain Sword Sect. His status was on par with the master's, so his strength was naturally comparable to some of the masters.
If even he was no match for the arm of the earth, it was clear that the Demon Sect was really up to something big this time!
"There's no time to lose. Gather the people as soon as possible. This time, we must eradicate the Demon Summoning Cult completely!" the middle-aged female master said.
The White Robe Sword Sect moved quickly after the order was given. Not long after, the elders, hall masters, and executors in the forest showed up. The number of disciples increased too, forming columns of Swordmaster disciples.
In the morning, the White Robe Sword Sect was still in a peaceful atmosphere. The disciples were practicing their swordsmanship, the executors were patrolling the area, and the hall masters were managing the place …
However, in the afternoon, the entire White Robe Sword Sect entered a state of preparation for battle. Judging from their orderly and swift formation, it was obvious that the White Robe Sword Sect frequently fought against the Demon Sect!
Conflicts between factions were more frequent than wars. Small conflicts could range from disciples crossing the boundary to fights over Spirit Veins, or even grudges. In places with rich Spirit Veins, small factions would sprout up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The speed of their rise was even more shocking. Of course, the speed at which they were destroyed was equally shocking …
A powerful faction like the White Robe Sword Sect could not be said to have lasted for a long time. It would fall instantly after a huge conflict. It was no longer comparable to the truly powerful factions in the forest.
The White Robe Sword Sect was irreconcilable with the Demon Sect. The sect's mission was to eradicate the Demon Summoning Cult. Therefore, the White Robe Sword Sect had made a lot of enemies. They were basically a thorn in the side of the Demon Summoning Cult!
Not long after, more than a thousand members of the White Robe Sword Sect gathered in front of the Sword Manor. Their cultivation was at least in the General Level. They held their swords and waited for their master to give the order.
"Master Lei, please lead the way," Zheng Mei's master said.
"We can't let these Demon Disciples get away with it!" Master Lei gathered his fighting spirit again.
"Eradicate the Demon Summoning Cult!"
"Eradicate the Demon Summoning Cult!"
"Eradicate the Demon Summoning Cult!"
Their white robes fluttered in the wind, and their swords glittered brilliantly. It was completely different from the peaceful manor that Zhu Minglang had seen before. The Sword Manor was filled with a murderous aura due to the presence of the White Robe Swordsmen. It felt like these people had changed their appearance and temperament. They were completely different from the gentle, hospitable, and courteous people that Zhu Minglang had seen in the morning!
"Brother Zhu, since you're also a disciple of the Distant Mountain Sword Sect, isn't it your duty to eradicate the Demon Summoning Cult? Why don't you come with us?" Lin Zhong came over and said to Zhu Minglang.
"I won't hesitate to go against the Demon Summoning Cult, but I'm a human being, not a sect," Zhu Minglang said.
More than a thousand people were looking at him and asking him the same question.
Zhu Minglang felt like cursing in his heart. Why the hell would it have anything to do with him when you're trying to eradicate the Demon Summoning Cult …
However, he had no choice, since he had mentioned the name of the Distant Mountain Sword Sect. If he did not agree to it, he would be bringing shame to his sect. Besides, they were from the White Robe Sword Sect, so they were considered his peers …
That being said, Zhu Minglang had his own principles too. If it was just a fight between two factions, he would not take part in it. However, if they were carrying out an evil ritual similar to the Eyeless Cult, he had to stop it at all costs!
