CHAPTER 1696: CHAPTER 384

The Horrified Demon gazed into the Void before him, his heart filled with unspeakable fear; had he just succumbed to the Mesmerizing Demon’s Charm Technique?

Their Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, as the name suggests, excelled at spells targeting the three souls and seven spirits.

However, they were merely at the Indestructible Period now, making it challenging to cast such spells. How had the Mesmerizing Demon managed it?

Moreover, he was an existence at the Indestructible Period, while the Mesmerizing Demon was only in the early stage of the Longevity Period; even without any defenses, ordinary spells shouldn’t have affected him unless it was a Mysterious Rank Spell!

The problem was, how could the Mesmerizing Demon, at the early stage of the Longevity Period, cast a Mysterious Rank spell, especially such a Charm Technique?

He couldn’t comprehend it at all, and at this moment, he had no time to ponder; he must quickly inform the high-ranking members within the Great Teaching about everything that had just occurred before him.

The Mesmerizing Demon had actually slain the disciples of their Great Teaching right outside their sect gate; this was clearly an act of defecting the sect!

And the people the Mesmerizing Demon killed were Wu Xia and Six Paths Void, one of whom was the Ancestral Elder of their temporary Sect Hierarch, and the other, their temporary Vice Sect Hierarch.

This was indeed a major issue.

He really didn’t know why the Mesmerizing Demon would kill these two out of the blue.

The Horrified Demon quickly returned to the Great Teaching and had just planned to report this matter when suddenly, a figure appeared in his field of vision.

"Sect Leader?"

The Horrified Demon softly exclaimed, just as he was about to speak, the voice of the Sect Leader had already resounded.

"Now, seal the mountain gate of the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect."

The Horrified Demon immediately wore a look of astonishment: "What? Seal the mountain gate?"

"Yes, seal the mountain gate." The Soul Breaking Sect Leader nodded heavily at the Horrified Demon, "Are you responsible for the mountain gate today? Go and seal the gate now; from this moment, no one is allowed to leave the Hundred Peaks Sect."

After speaking, he watched the Horrified Demon, who still stood motionless, frown slightly in displeasure and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and seal the mountain gate!"

"Sect Leader?" The Horrified Demon hesitated for a moment but still pointed in the direction of the mountain gate, "Wu Xia is dead."

"What!" The Soul Breaking Sect Leader’s eyes abruptly widened, and his voice was even filled with a trembling sound, "Wu Xia is dead? How did he die? Where is he?"

"Right above the mountain gate, I was just going to report to you, and then..."

The Soul Breaking Sect Leader did not wait for the Horrified Demon to finish; he immediately flew off into the air, landing above the gate in the blink of an eye and at once saw the two corpses laid side by side together.

"Wu Xia!"

Looking at the familiar face, the Soul Breaking Sect Leader seemed to age instantly, and his previously straight back hunched over all at once.

Wu Xia had actually died.

His hope was dashed, and the most promising individual from their family had just died like this!

"Who, who killed him? Where did you find Wu Xia?" The Soul Breaking Sect Leader suddenly turned his head, looking at the Horrified Demon as if driven mad.

For an instant, as the Horrified Demon’s gaze met the Sect Leader’s, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of terror, promptly lowering his head to avoid the Sect Leader’s eyes and whispered, "It was the Mesmerizing Demon. The disciple personally saw the Mesmerizing Demon kill Wu Xia and Liu Dao Kong outside."

Right now, he had only one feeling: their Soul Breaking Demonic Sect was about to encounter major trouble, otherwise, why would the Sect Leader seal the sect, and before sealing it, Wu Xia had left their Soul Breaking Demonic Sect.

Was Wu Xia, the most talented disciple of the Sect Leader’s branch, intentionally sent away in advance by the Sect Leader?

Had the Mesmerizing Demon learned something, thus killing Wu Xia?

"Mesmerizing Demon! Damn it! Where is she? Where is she?" The Soul Breaking Sect Leader glared at the Horrified Demon, a boundless murderous aura surged from within, freezing the very space due to his killing intent.

He had given all his resources to Wu Xia, pinning all his hopes on him.

But now, his hope had been shattered like this!

The Mesmerizing Demon had actually killed Wu Xia!

Right, Wu Xia’s Qiankun Bag, although Wu Xia was the most talented disciple in his branch, there were other juniors. As long as the resources remained, there was still hope, and he could delay closing the Great Teaching’s gate, dispatching other juniors instead.

Qiankun Bag...

The Soul Breaking Demonic Sect immediately began searching Wu Xia’s body, but the Qiankun Bag was nowhere to be found.

The Qiankun Bag was missing?

That was supposed to contain all his resources.

Without resources, what use was there in sending those descendants out?

Suddenly, he thought of something and turned back to stare at the Horrified Demon, "Where is the Qiankun Bag? Where is the Qiankun Bag from Wu Xia’s body?"

Speaking, his extremely intense killing intent surged even more fiercely from within.

Even without directly looking into the Sect Leader’s eyes, the Horrified Demon felt a shiver in his heart. The Sect Leader’s murderous aura almost gave him the illusion that the one who killed Wu Xia wasn’t the Mesmerizing Demon but him, a delusion that the Sect Leader might act against him.

Terrorized, he quickly spoke, "Subordinate did not see the Qiankun Bag; it seems the Qiankun Bag was taken by the Mesmerizing Demon... Yes, she took it. She took Wu Xia’s and Liu Dao Kong’s Qiankun Bags and then ran."

"What? Ran away!"

Because of Wu Xia’s death, the Qiankun Bag being taken, and his hope being dashed, all the Soul Breaking Sect Leader’s fury at this moment was vented entirely onto the Horrified Demon, roaring, "Why did you let her escape? You saw her killing fellow sect members, why didn’t you capture her?"
