Chapter 174 - Chapter 374: Taking Action

"However strong Xiao Jin's cultivation may be, she's still a member of our Tianxing Sect," one Supreme Elder said with a smile.

"Indeed. We have never made things difficult for Yun Jin."

"This can only bring benefits to our sect."

"Leaving that aside, did you see those strands of black qi Yun Jin collected at the end?"

"That seemed to be demonic qi!"

"We weren't present and didn't personally sense what kind of aura it was, it wouldn't be appropriate to make conclusions lightly."

"At the time, everyone's expressions seemed off, it's most likely demonic qi."

"Qingxiao Pavilion is one of the four holy lands. If this matter is to be resolved, it will have to be handled by the other three holy lands. I imagine that they will respond to this. This is not something we need to concern ourselves with."

"That's true."

After conversing a while longer, they each departed.

In the room, Zhao Wuji's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

This Yun Jin had inexplicably exposed those scenes, would this affect his father's side?

It shouldn't.

How could Qingxiao Pavilion, such a dignified holy land, so easily have something happen to it?

Right now, the most urgent thing was to resolve things here first.

The people he had sent out had already organized a considerable number of demonic cultivators within the sect. Once all were assembled, they would launch a full assault on Tianxing Sect!

At that time, he wanted to see this place filled with blood flowing like a river!

At the thought of that scene, Zhao Wuji trembled with excitement.

The place where Yun Jin currently was lay near Lin City, a great distance from here.

Even if she departed immediately, by the time she arrived, Tianxing Sect would already be a place of utter silence.

At that time, no matter how much pain or despair she felt, nothing could be changed.

Zhao Wuji began reviewing the entire plan.

First, he didn't intend to leave most people in Tianxing Sect alive.

Among the disciples, he would only take Han Xiaoyu away.

After some thought, he decided to take Ye Danxia as well.

First, Han Xiaoyu liked Ye Danxia.

Second, Ye Danxia possessed a Celestial Spiritual Root. No matter what she cultivated, she would advance quickly. If she could be trained into a powerful demonic cultivator, that would be excellent.

Third, Han Xiaoyu's aptitude was poor. Dual cultivation with Ye Danxia would also assist his progress.

As for that Yang Yun, he could casually eliminate him!

Aside from Han Xiaoyu and Ye Danxia, if there were suitable experimental subjects, he might take them as well.

Those whose cultivation was already advanced would have to be eliminated.

The several Supreme Elders, the peak masters of each peak.

Zhao Wuji didn't intend to spare a single one.

Even for Huo Lie and the others, he had no intention of leaving them alive.

They appeared to follow him, but in truth? They had only offended Heavenly Sword Peak too much and now had nowhere else to go.

If given the chance, they would likely have run eagerly to Lin Ya's side long ago.

Such fence-sitters were useless.

Moreover, only by killing everyone who needed killing could he conceal his crimes.

Zhao Wuji intended to defect to the Blood Dao Sect, but he had no intention of exposing his identity.

He planned to fabricate the appearance that, in the eyes of any investigators, he had also died in this assault.

Thus, he could disappear perfectly and begin a new life.

Zhao Wuji carefully considered everything.

His expression gradually darkened.

Originally, he didn't need to walk this path.

When he first joined the Blood Dao Sect, it'd only been because someone from the sect had offered him numerous benefits.

But right now, humans still held overwhelming dominance.

Whether demonic cultivators or demons, none dared to act openly in the central region. Most could only operate in secret.

His position as sect master was far more respectable than the identity of a demonic cultivator.

Therefore, he had merely used his identity as sect master to secretly assist the Blood Dao Sect in some experiments.

The one who had forced him onto this path.

Was Lin Ya!

Was Yun Jin!

That damned Lin Ya, had he simply accepted death peacefully, none of this would have happened. Instead, in the final three months of his life, he just had to take in Yun Jin, that monster.

Before it actually happened, who could've imagined this?

In three months, a newly admitted disciple would completely change the fate of Heavenly Sword Peak!

Zhao Wuji also didn't expect that, therefore, he had miscalculated that step. And now, he had lost everything!

Now, everyone in Tianxing Sect looked down on him, targeted him. Nominally he was still the sect master, but in reality, he had no dignity whatsoever.

If so, why continue to be the sect master?

Even if he turned to the demonic path, he would ensure that Lin Ya and the others died before him!

If nothing unexpected occurred, the operation would be set for tomorrow at midnight. Before that, he needed to make necessary arrangements.

Zhao Wuji first went to see Han Xiaoyu.

Toward Han Xiaoyu, he felt genuine affection. He first inquired about Han Xiaoyu's health, then repeatedly told him to come find him tomorrow and to stay by his side without leaving.

Han Xiaoyu was puzzled, "Master, what is it? Has something happened?"

Zhao Wuji smiled darkly, "Xiaoyu, don't you find your current days difficult? Is Ye Danxia not suffering? Aren't you worried?"

Han Xiaoyu nodded instinctively.

He couldn't help but look at Zhao Wuji.

So what?

Could Master truly change this situation?

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly and said coldly, "Tomorrow night, everything will change. You don't need to know the details right now. You only need to know that as long as you follow me, nothing will happen to you. You like Ye Danxia, so we will go rescue her as well. From then on, the world will be vast, and nothing will restrain us."

Zhao Wuji didn't conceal much in front of Han Xiaoyu, a faint madness appeared in his eyes!

Han Xiaoyu's heart pounded.

He vaguely realized something, yet couldn't fully grasp it. He lowered his voice, "Master, are we leaving Tianxing Sect?"

Zhao Wuji gave a cold smile, "Xiaoyu, don't ask about this for now. Rest assured, master will arrange everything for you."

After giving further instructions, Zhao Wuji turned and left.

Han Xiaoyu's gaze flickered.

He didn't know what Zhao Wuji planned to do.

But he knew that this was something that mustn't be revealed to outsiders.

The rest didn't matter to him.

But Ye Danxia was suffering, and it pained him deeply.

If they could take Danxia and leave, then leaving Tianxing Sect would be fine, he didn't care.

Because of his poor health, he had spent years recuperating outside and had little attachment to Tianxing Sect.

As long as he could live well, and Ye Danxia could live well, nothing else mattered.

Han Xiaoyu thought of the child beside Ye Danxia again.

He snorted coldly.

Just now, Master didn't mention bringing that child along.

At the thought of Yang Yun, he instinctively felt discomfort.

When the time came, he would beg Master. Before they left, eliminating that child casually shouldn't be difficult.

As Han Xiaoyu thought about it, he finally revealed his first smile in a long time.

These days have been too suffocating.

Now it's good.

Master was finally going to take action!
