Chapter 496: Chapter 493: Total Annihilation

Shen Hanyue excitedly widened her eyes, looking at those approaching masters from the Evil Sect, giggling as she said, “There really are those who aren’t afraid of death!”

Xiao Ruoling gently shook her head.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, “None of them are fools, they’re all quite cautious.”

Xiao Ruoling softly said, “It’s because the Execution Order has taken effect.”

If it were ordinary Evil Sect demons, they would have rushed up upon hearing this kind of shout.

But these approaching masters from the Evil Sect didn’t rush to act; instead, they waited for more masters to appear and act together.

This is not in line with their usual style, but it is a situation forced by necessity.

They found that masters from the Evil Sect kept dying, some in Yujing City, reportedly slain by the Emperor’s Sword.

Others died outside Yujing City.

Some are said to have died at the hands of experts from the Military Suppression Department.

The experts from the Military Suppression Department kill masters of the Evil Sect to earn merits.

Moreover, not just the Military Suppression Department, but all Martial Arts Sects, can earn merits if they kill Evil Sect masters.

The Court just issued the Execution Order a couple of days ago.

Kill the Evil Sect demons, for everyone can execute them.

Anyone who kills a master from the Evil Sect, whether from the Military Suppression Department or any Martial Arts Sect, can be awarded merits if confirmed by the Auditing Department.

Without this Execution Order, experts from the Martial Arts Sects would not have had the chance to earn merits or get cultivation resources from the Heavenly Treasure Department.

But with this Execution Order, not only are Evil Sect masters converging on Yujing City, but experts from all Martial Arts Sects are also heading there.

As the saying goes, merits motivate people; these experts from the Military Suppression Department and the Martial Arts Sects are constantly ambushing and assassinating Evil Sect masters to earn merits.

Masters from the Evil Sect have all become cautious, no longer as reckless and arrogant as before.

Shen Hanyue’s eyes sparkled as she scanned back and forth, watching more and more Evil Sect masters gather: “So many of them, can we kill them all?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “The more, the better, saving us the trouble of looking for them one by one.”

Shen Hanyue turned her head to Xiao Ruoling: “Senior sister, we should have brought them over, missing such a grand spectacle is a pity.”

Xiao Ruoling laughed, “I guess they’re awake by now.”

With Chu Zhiyuan’s loud voice, even in their sleep, it would likely wake them.

“Heir!?” came a crisp call from a distance, as two figures landed lightly on the treetops, drifting closer.

There were no masters from the Evil Sect in that direction, but rather a blue shadow and a green shadow.

The two shadows came closer, standing at the mountain top, revealing themselves as two women.

One was Xu Yingying, dressed in a lake green gauze dress, and the other was Xu Suying, in a blue robe.

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists with a smile, “Mr. Xu.”

He then smiled at Xu Yingying, “Yingying, did you hear my voice?”

Xu Yingying chuckled, “With a voice as loud as yours, how could I not hear it?”

She turned her head towards Xiao Ruoling, moving closer and laughing: “Sister Xiao.”

“Yingying.” Xiao Ruoling laughed, “Your cultivation has improved again.”

“It’s all thanks to the Heir,” Xu Yingying giggled, sneering at Shen Hanyue, “I’ve surpassed you again, Shen Junior Sister.”

Shen Hanyue pursed her lips, “I’ll catch up to you soon!”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Xu Suying helplessly shook her head and said to Chu Zhiyuan, “Heir, are you planning to exterminate all the Evil Sect masters?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, “To prevent them from wandering around harming others, it’s better to sweep them away at once.”

“Good idea.” Xu Suying nodded gently.

She observed these gradually encircling Evil Sect masters who were eager to move.

A Grandmaster cannot kill ordinary people, but there is no problem killing Evil Sect demons.

Of course, that’s just what is said.

Whether killing Evil Sect demons truly has no consequences, it seems there is no definitive conclusion.

However, looking at Chu Zhiyuan’s actions now, it proves this saying is correct.

A Great Grandmaster can indeed kill Evil Sect demons without suffering backlash.

Otherwise, with Chu Zhiyuan’s senses, exceeding ordinary intuition, he would not act so recklessly.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “It seems to have already reached the limit.”

Over there, Xu Yingying, Xiao Ruoling, and Shen Hanyue huddled together, talking.

Xu Yingying was very close to Xiao Ruoling, but constantly bickering with Shen Hanyue like fighting cocks.

Xiao Ruoling occasionally mediated, preventing their conflict from truly escalating, constantly dissipating tension and reducing the intensity.

Xu Suying laughed, “Isn’t this more than two hundred people? Isn’t that enough?”

Chu Zhiyuan let out a cold laugh, “Over two hundred? For the Evil Sect, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

Xu Suying nodded gently, “The Evil Sect has become increasingly powerful these years, becoming overly strong.”

Chu Zhiyuan, this First Heir, stood up openly slaughtering the Evil Sect.

This is the first time someone from the Da Jing Royal Family has done such a thing.

This is an unprecedented occurrence in hundreds of years, attracting much attention.

The Four Great Sects are all observing, as are all the Martial Arts Sects, watching the situation unfold.

Then, they discovered that the Evil Sect’s strength far surpassed imagination.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Evil Sect had risen and grown to such a magnitude.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Suying.

Xu Suying understood the meaning in his eyes and gently shook her head, “Indeed, the Four Great Sects have been negligent, but encountering Evil Sect disciples, they didn’t hold back, killing when necessary.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “Now you’ve grown cautious, pulling back, while they are fearless.”

“Sigh…” Xu Suying sighed helplessly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “They never take the initiative to clear out the Evil Sect within their borders, as long as they don’t provoke you, you pretend not to see.”

“We truly didn’t see.” Xu Suying said, “They are also very shrewd.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “They developed and grew without being noticed by you? I don’t believe it.”

Xu Suying fell silent.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “Of course, the Court’s Military Suppression Department should have noticed too, but in the end, manpower is limited.”

No matter how strong the Military Suppression Department is, it can’t cover everything, certainly not as many as the masters of the Four Great Demon Sects combined.

Moreover, the Four Great Demon Sects influence countless Martial Arts Sects in secret.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “This time, your Jiuli Divine Sect didn’t take the chance to send experts over, did you?”

Xu Suying shook her head.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, suddenly raising his voice to shout, “Evil Sect demons, everyone can execute them!”

The Bright Moon Saber God in his mind’s void became increasingly bright, slowly rising, then rising further, finally leaving his mind, ascending from the Bai Hui acupoint into mid-air.

Like that rising sun in the Sunrise East Painting.

But the effect of the rising sun from the Sunrise East Painting and the Bright Moon of the Bright Moon Saber God are not the same.

The over two hundred people who were slowly approaching suddenly stopped in their tracks, the light in their eyes instantly extinguishing.

Each of them felt as if a bright moon appeared above them, more pristine and beautiful than the actual moon in the sky.

It captivated their hearts.

The bright moon suddenly turned into a saber appearing in front of their foreheads, then their eyes went black, life extinguished.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly retracted the increasingly bright and imposing Bright Moon Saber God back into the void of his mind.

His eyes were bright, as if he had slept for three days and nights.

His lips curled slightly, heart filled with joy.

Having killed these two hundred people, his Sealing God Realm advanced a small step.

The fastest way to advance in the Sealing God Realm is indeed by killing Evil Sect demons.

There is hope to attain perfection in the Sealing God Realm through this method.

At this moment, he suddenly had an improper thought: the more Evil Sect masters, the better!

Xiao Ruoling and the other three looked around in confusion.

Surprisingly, they felt nothing unusual, only saw these over two hundred people inexplicably stalling, then collapsing and dying.
