Gu Yanhao found his disciple in the crowd and shouted immediately. "You were the one watching Rong Danian. Bring him here now."The young man nodded and ran.The crowd waited.Inside the Treasury, the sound of impacts continued one after another, rhythmic and relentless, like someone who had already decided nothing would stop them before the job was done.BOOM. BOOM.The young man came back less than two minutes later, his breathing unsteady."Elder Gu." His voice dropped. "Rong Danian isn't where he was. I searched every spot he usually passes through. He's nowhere."Gu Yanhao stared at him sharply. "Nowhere?""He's vanished, Elder Gu!"A brief silence fell over the crowd, then all eyes turned to Lou Bingxin.Lou Bingxin felt something run through her chest that she rarely felt. Not just worry. It was more than that.Rong Danian had vanished. Someone wearing her face was inside. And from the sounds still echoing behind that closed door, the protective array was collapsing one layer a

Xiao Peng didn't back down.He drew one breath, then let go of everything he had been holding back.A Primordial Realm third level aura exploded out of his body like a wave with no fixed shape but felt across every inch of that corridor. The stone walls shook. The spiritual lanterns on the ceiling swayed. And the pressure expanding from the figure wearing an ordinary servant's face struck everyone within range all at once.Several elders still at the lower edge of Primordial Realm staggered, dropping to one knee by reflex before they even realized what their bodies were doing. The core disciples in the back rows had it worse. Some blacked out instantly, others vomited where they stood, their knees hitting the floor with nothing they could do to stop it.The pressure was too overwhelming for bodies that weren't prepared.Lu Zonghe and Gu Yanhao didn't stop. But both were forced to slow their steps momentarily, adjusting their spiritual energy to keep that pressure from entering their m
Chapter 433
The spiritual energy from eleven Grand Elders flowed into Lou Bingxin's dantian one final time.She didn't let it gather for long. The moment she felt herself reach capacity, she released it all at once, every last bit, nothing held back for herself, directed at the Treasury door whose gap was still barely open from the previous strike.The attack had no fixed shape. No dragon silhouette, no clearly visible wave. What left both of Lou Bingxin's palms was raw pressure that compressed the air in front of her into something that felt denser than steel.And all of it hit the door dead center.KRAAK!The Treasury door didn't simply open. Both halves, each two adult arm-lengths thick, were hurled inward, striking the floor with a sound that echoed out through the entire corridor. The door frame cracked at three points. Stone dust scattered from the gaps in the walls that shook from the impact.The corridor went silent for one full second.Then Lou Bingxin shouted. "Five elders join Lu Zongh
Chapter 434
A moment earlier.The sound of chaos from outside the door came through clearly.Lou Bingxin's shout ordering the elders. The clang of swords and the blast of spiritual energy from the fight in the corridor. The sound of running footsteps from every direction converging on one point.Kael didn't turn around.His hand came up again, his knuckles no longer feeling right. The bones in his right fingers had fractured at several points, dried blood caked between them and dripping onto the stone floor below. But silver energy was still flowing from his palm, filling every crack in those bones to keep them from collapsing completely before this was done.The array in front of him was down to one layer.The final layer, the one with no color but the heaviest of all.Kael drew one breath, gathering silver energy from every meridian into a single point at his clenched right fist, until the skin over his knuckles looked like it was glowing from within.Then he threw the final strike.BOOM!Not t
Chapter 435
Seeing Lou Bingxin get hurt, the seven Grand Elders who had been focused on Xiao Peng moved at once.They didn't waste a moment. No one held back. They had already seen what happened to the six elders who went into the Treasury, and they knew that facing this person halfway was the same as handing over their lives.The three fastest arrived first, attacking from three different angles simultaneously. Each of their swords radiated black energy compressed to the absolute limit of what they could push out, enough to wound even a high-level Primordial Realm cultivator if it landed on the right point.Kael turned. The Boundless Dark Blade was already in his hand before the three strikes arrived, and he swung it once.A single swing that looked so effortless that from a distance it barely seemed like any effort at all.All three black swords struck Kael's blade at the same time, and what happened next no one had anticipated. The shockwave from the impact didn't explode forward but curled ba

They didn't take long to react.One by one, the Grand Elders dragged themselves forward, kneeling before Kael not merely in submission but in the way of people genuinely begging for their own lives."Grand Leader, we had no choice back then!" One of them spoke first, his voice cracking. "Wu Shengming threatened us! We were forced to swear loyalty or die!""I was imprisoned for fifty years before I finally gave in, Grand Leader!" Another followed, his forehead on the floor. "Not because I wanted to! I had no other choice!"Several more joined in, their words overlapping each other, each carrying a different reason but arriving at the same point.Spare our lives.Kael listened to all of it without his expression shifting in the slightest.Then Lou Bingxin moved. She dragged herself forward with great difficulty, the bones in her back still feeling like gravel grinding against each other with every motion, dried blood at the corner of her mouth. But she kept moving until her knees found

Kael stopped in front of Wu Shengming's door.He glanced at Xiao Peng briefly, then went in alone, closing the door behind him quietly.The room hadn't changed from the last time he was here. The smell of medicine soaked into the walls. The spiritual lanterns burning dim and warm. And on the bed too large for the body that had shrunk beneath the blanket, Wu Shengming lay still, his skin still the color of old paper, his abdomen swollen.But his eyes opened when he heard footsteps come in."Gi-give me my medicine, Divine Physician." His voice came out with effort, more coherent than before the first remedy, but still far from well. "Thanks to your treatment I can speak again, even if it's difficult. I believe in a few months I'll recover. Please continue helping me..."His words stopped.Kael raised his hand to his own face, and the Faceless layer he had maintained since the moment he first set foot in this sect softened slowly, shifted, and disappeared.The face of Mo Tianjue appeared

The sky above the Demon Sect was gray, as it always was.But the main palace courtyard, filled that morning by nearly every member of the sect, felt different from any day before. No training, no conversation. Everyone stood in silence, their faces turned in one direction.In the center of the courtyard, seven guillotines stood in a single row.The iron was not new. Kael recognized it from his past life, equipment that had existed in this sect long before Wu Shengming took over, now brought out for the first time in thousands of years.On the throne facing the courtyard, Kael sat.His white robes stood out sharply against the dark colors that dominated the entire sect, and the Boundless Dark Blade leaned against the side of the throne within arm's reach. His expression showed no anticipation, no satisfaction. Just calm, like someone finishing work that had been waiting a long time.Xiao Peng stood to the right of the throne, hands folded behind his back.Not long after, seven figures
Chapter 439
After executing Lou Bingxin and the six traitor Grand Elders, Kael ordered all the remaining Grand Elders to gather in the meeting room.Seven people, those who hadn't played a major role in the betrayal fifteen hundred years ago, who had only gone along with it because they had no choice.Xiao Peng, of course, was a different case entirely. He was special, and would be Kael's one and only right hand.They arrived faster than it normally took to gather the elders. No one was late, no one needed the message repeated.The Demon Sect's meeting room wasn't large. A long table in the center, chairs arranged neatly along both sides, and one chair at the far end that was larger than the rest, the chair that had always belonged to the Grand Leader.Kael sat there.Xiao Peng stood directly to his right, hands folded behind his back, posture straight.The seven Grand Elders took their seats along the table, and not one of them lifted their head to look directly toward the head of the table.

They arrived at Wellspring Square.The fountain at its center flowed as usual, its quiet sound contrasting with the silence that formed the moment the group appeared at the edge of the square. One by one, people who had been passing through slowed their steps. A disciple carrying training equipment stopped. A trader about to sort his goods stopped. Ordinary elders who happened to be passing through that path stopped.Within minutes, the square that normally buzzed with foot traffic had become a still crowd, all eyes facing one direction.Grand Leader Mo Tianjue was walking alongside seven Grand Elders and one man they didn't recognize but who stood in a position that couldn't be ignored.Whispers broke out among the crowd.Then Kael turned to the seven elders behind him and said in a perfectly ordinary tone, "Sit in a row. Show me your backs."All seven did as they were told without asking questions, but their expressions couldn't hide the unease that suddenly rose in them.In the cro
