After Lie Heisha was dismembered into eight pieces by Ye Xingchen, an old man thousands of miles away seemed to sense it, and immediately killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He was Black Eagle Hall’s first Hall Master. No one knew what his name was—sect members called him Hall Master, while evil sect people called him Ghost Elder.

Why was he called Ghost Elder?

Because this first Hall Master had an extremely powerful understanding of movement techniques. When executed, they were as elusive and unpredictable as a ghost.

Lie Heisha was Ghost Elder’s beloved disciple. He had gone out to comprehend higher martial dao and passed the sect to him. Now that contact had suddenly been severed, he realized misfortune had struck.

Who!

Dares to kill my beloved disciple!

Ghost Elder’s gloomy eyes flashed with chilling killing intent, and he burst out of his cave dwelling. Like a ghost’s shadow, he sped through the night, heading directly toward Huaying Commandery!

This speed, this movement technique.

The word “ghost” was truly fitting!

Ghost Elder’s strength was also formidable. After stepping down as Hall Master, he had continuously comprehended the Blood Demon Scripture and had already broken through to Third Rank Wuzong.

“Whoever killed my disciple—nine generations will be implicated, never to be reborn for all eternity!”

In the mountain wilderness, a voice filled with endless fury echoed, startling wild beasts into fleeing in all directions.

…

At the foot of Black Eagle Mountain.

After Lie Heisha was killed, the Black Eagle Hall disciples who were still putting up a desperate struggle had their last bit of mental fortitude completely collapse, and were ultimately all blasted to death on the spot by Tiegu Sect disciples.

At this point.

A seventh-rate evil sect, along with its Hall Master and sect elites, had all been annihilated.

There were still people in the sect on the mountain, but they were just a bunch of small fry.

“Search the bodies!”

After everything was finished, Jun Changxiao said.

The disciples swiftly began looting and successively confiscated quite a few spatial rings.

“Blood Demon Scripture, Blood Explosion Fist, Blood Explosion Steps?”

Jun Changxiao merged with Lie Heisha’s ring and found the three high-grade evil sect techniques that Black Eagle Hall relied on to establish itself in the jianghu.

Although they weren’t particularly useful, he still collected them into his own spatial ring.

Martial techniques and cultivation methods were things where you could only complain about having too few, never too many.

The system said: “Evil sect techniques follow an extreme path. Host had better not rashly cultivate them, lest it stifle your future martial dao.”

“I know my limits,” Jun Changxiao said.

After the disciples had all finished searching, he used Exquisite Fire to burn all the corpses. Only then did he look toward Black Eagle Hall on the mountain and say coldly: “Up the mountain to exterminate the sect!”

“Yes!”

All the disciples charged upward.

…

Black Eagle Hall, this seventh-rate sect, had a total population of only five or six hundred people. With the Hall Master and elites all killed, there weren’t many left guarding headquarters.

When Xiao Zuiji blasted open the main gate with heavy punches and all the Tiegu Sect disciples poured in, they completely eliminated them all.

If it were a righteous sect organization, Jun Changxiao might have left survivors, but for this type of evil sect disciples, killing them was the best choice.

Old rule—continue searching!

Before long, Su Xiaomo was the first to find Black Eagle Hall’s treasury.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, a screen full of jeweled radiance shot forth, so dazzling he couldn’t even open his eyes.

“Damn!”

After adapting, looking at those mountains of gold and silver, Su Xiaomo said incredulously: “So much gold, silver, and treasure!”

Jun Changxiao heard the news and rushed over. After a preliminary estimate, the value should be around ten million taels. He couldn’t help but sigh: “This seventh-rate sect is quite wealthy.”

Black Eagle Hall engaged in the same robbery business as bandits—of course they had money.

Unfortunately.

They had no life left to spend it, and Jun Changxiao took it all.

After that, disciples discovered a secret chamber in Lie Heisha’s residence, which also contained over five hundred spirit stones.

Needless to say, he took them.

After a thorough plundering, everything valuable in Black Eagle Hall, including martial techniques, weapons, and so on, was all taken by Jun Changxiao.

The spatial ring with five times storage capacity suddenly became substantially fuller.

“OK, retreat.”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After everyone descended the mountain, Black Eagle Hall headquarters immediately erupted in towering flames. The buildings established for a hundred years turned to ashes under the burning.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that when the people of Huaying Commandery learned this seventh-rate evil sect had been exterminated, it would definitely cause tremendous shock.

…

“Cousin… brother will avenge you!”

After all the Tiegu Sect people had completely withdrawn, a martial artist clenching his fists emerged from a rock in a hidden location.

By the night’s glow, one could see that this person was actually the green-scarfed martial artist Dai Lü, whom Jun Changxiao had beaten up that year when he went to Qingyang City to recruit disciples!

After Lingquan Sect was exterminated, hadn’t he gone to join Shengquan Sect?

Yes.

Dai Lü had gone to join them.

After passing difficult examinations, he became an entry-level disciple.

So-called entry-level disciples were lower in rank than outer disciples. Every day, what they did was either chopping wood and carrying water, or running errands—no different from servants.

To avenge his former Sect Master, Dai Lü had endured hardships and cultivated diligently. He had now opened ten meridians.

Half a month ago, the sect had a task requiring him to deliver a letter to Huaying Commandery, so he came.

After completing it and preparing to return, he happened to run into a distant cousin in the city. Learning that he had joined a sect, he followed along to visit Black Eagle Hall.

Dai Lü’s cousin’s intention was to take the opportunity to persuade his older cousin to join Black Eagle Hall.

Who could have imagined that on just the second day of arriving, the sect would be exterminated.

As for Dai Lü, because he had been drinking with his cousin and gotten up in the night to relieve himself, in his daze he took the wrong path and wandered around the back mountain for most of the day.

Later, hearing the sect’s continuous screams, his drunkenness dissipated and he cleverly hid himself.

Afterward, Jun Changxiao led his disciples away. By the light of the flames, he saw the face clearly and immediately recognized—this was the murderer who exterminated my Lingquan Sect!

Dai Lü was truly remarkable.

Our Sect Master Jun had transmigrated to another world and successively exterminated two sects—he was present at both scenes, and what’s more, he actually survived!

So they say, sometimes when luck comes, you can’t die even if you want to.

When luck is bad, you could go out to relieve yourself and be killed by a falling signboard.

“Jun Changxiao!”

Dai Lü clenched his fists, roaring furiously in his heart: “You killed my grandmother’s mother’s father’s second uncle’s sister-in-law’s younger brother—this enmity is irreconcilable!”

“Cousin!”

He turned around, looking at the towering flames, and secretly swore: “I will avenge you!”

Dai Lü was also quite clever. He didn’t leave immediately, fearing that Tiegu Sect people were waiting below, so he hid in a concealed location until nearly dawn before hurriedly descending the mountain.

However.

Just as he walked down to the mountain pass, a cold wind blew.

A black-haired old man suddenly stood beside him, eyes flashing with chilling killing intent.

Dai Lü, who was already worried about being discovered by Tiegu Sect, suddenly discovered someone had appeared out of thin air and cried out in terror: “A ghost…”

“Slap!”

Ghost Elder, who had rushed here at extreme speed, grabbed his neck. Wisps of eerie qi immediately enveloped him and penetrated into his sea of consciousness.

This was an extremely overbearing evil sect technique for extracting memories. The executor could forcibly plunder the target’s memories, thereby obtaining the information they wanted.

After a moment.

Ghost Elder released his hand, his gaze gloomy: “Tiegu Sect—not only did they kill my beloved disciple, they also exterminated my Black Eagle Hall. This debt, this old man will definitely repay a thousandfold!”

“Swish!”

Just as his words fell, the person disappeared. The location he headed toward was Qingyang Commandery—clearly intending to avenge the killing of his beloved disciple and the extermination of his sect.

As for Dai Lü, having suffered forced memory extraction, his entire person collapsed on the ground, holding his head in agonizing howls as his consciousness gradually extinguished.

Having one’s sea of consciousness violently extracted by sinister evil techniques had two outcomes: either becoming mentally unclear and going mad, or dying on the spot.

Going… going to die…

Dai Lü, still retaining a trace of consciousness, could deeply feel life flowing away bit by bit.

The former Sect Master’s revenge, his cousin’s revenge—neither avenged, and he didn’t want to die!

A strong desire to survive rose in his heart, yet it was still difficult to reverse the flowing away of life. Death drew ever closer.

I don’t want to die!

I’m not willing to accept this!

Suddenly, Dai Lü’s entire body was enveloped by a mass of green light, and even his full head of black hair turned into a bright verdant green.

That life force which had been about to dissipate also miraculously began to slowly recover!
