Chapter 330: Disposable Pawns

Chapter 330: Disposable Pawns

Yun Shan's face was so dark it seemed to be able to drip water as he stared at the numerous broken soul plaques on the table.

Those who stayed at the Yun Lan Sect headquarters were mostly individuals he had personally selected for their relative obedience. They were useful tools and subordinates, but now, without exception, they were all dead.

The red-haired man stood gaping at the broken soul plaques on the table.

"Sect Leader, this...! Did something happen at the headquarters?"

"I don't need you to tell me that!"

Yun Shan shouted in a low voice, lifting his red eyes and giving the man a look that made him feel as if he had fallen into an icy abyss, his entire body covered by a chilling murderous intent.

"I acknowledge my fault!" The red-haired man quickly knelt on the ground, bowing his head to admit his guilt.

He had not forgotten Yun Shan's violent nature; if something displeased him, he could kill without a second thought.

The man had risen to his position next to Yun Shan precisely because he understood people and had not delved deeply into the secret technique of devouring souls and bodies, thus avoiding being consumed by it.

Yun Shan, seeing the red-haired man kneeling and quickly acknowledging his mistake, stopped paying attention to him and focused his gaze on the table. He frowned deeply.

The Yun Lan Sect headquarters had been destroyed, and none of the elders had escaped, indicating that the enemy was extremely powerful.

By chance, Yun Shan was at the front lines. He wasn't sure if he could have faced that enemy if he had been at the headquarters.

Even with his power, Yun Shan did not believe he could have annihilated everyone left at the sect headquarters.

Moreover, the soul plaques had broken almost simultaneously. The Yun Lan Sect headquarters was in the center of their territory, ruling out the possibility of a large group attacking.

Yun Shan's eyes glinted with concern, especially at the thought that the Hall of Souls might be involved.

With his current personality, Yun Shan did not entrust his life to others; he trusted more in his own strength.

It seemed that he had to sacrifice these individuals to divert attention away from himself.

Yun Shan lifted his gaze to the kneeling red-haired man.

The man, feeling Yun Shan's gaze, trembled and perceived the intensification of the murderous intent around him.

Unable to endure it any longer, the man stood up and quickly backed away, but in the next instant, a bloody wind passed by, and his flesh was stripped from his body, leaving only a skeleton.

Yun Shan let out a snort and withdrew his hand.

To sacrifice these individuals, he couldn't let it be known that the headquarters had been destroyed.

"It's their fault for knowing the secret of the headquarters' destruction, not because I am violent," Yun Shan thought.

Then he called an urgent meeting, ordering everyone to move and conquer the Black-Corner Region as quickly as possible.

The attendees exchanged glances, but seeing Yun Shan's calm expression, they did not dare oppose and accepted the order.

"By the way, I feel I am about to have a major breakthrough. If you encounter any problems, decide by voting."

"Yes!"

Yun Shan rested his right hand on the armrest, supporting his cheek, and watched the others leave, a coldness in his eyes suggesting he saw them as the living dead.

"I hope they can play their final role."

Leaving those words, Yun Shan transformed into a bloody wind and disappeared.

Black-Corner Region, Qing Duan Mountain Range

The Black-Corner Region is mostly flat, with few dangerous places, and the Qing Duan Mountain Range is one of them.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were in the air, looking at the vast black plain. A crowd was approaching like a tide of blood towards the Qing Duan Mountain Range.

"The Yun Lan Sect is crazy, spreading such an evil secret technique. Aren't they afraid of intervention from the continent's powerful experts?" Qing Lin remarked in amazement. Following Xiao Yan, she knew that Dou Zuns were not the pinnacle of the continent.

The truly powerful were the Dou Shengs, who, although they secluded themselves for decades, could, if angered, destroy the Yun Lan Sect in one night.

"It's strange, I feel like the Yun Lan Sect is in the final madness of a dying person," Xiao Yi Xian said, looking at the tide of blood.

"The final madness of a dying person, huh?" Qing Lin murmured, nodding in agreement.

Without the help of the Hall of Souls, Xiao Yan and his allies could destroy the Yun Lan Sect.

Seeing the tide of blood approaching, Xiao Yi Xian shouted with a voice full of Dou Qi, "Kill those who approach the mountain!"

From the mountain, figures raised their weapons, responding to Xiao Yi Xian's call, "Kill!"

Xiao Yi Xian had no intention of commanding. These individuals were outlaws without discipline, and letting them fight freely was sufficient.

The Dark Alliance members wore dark clothes, like a pile of rocks on the shore. The tide of blood crashed against them, splashing blood.

Unlike waves hitting rocks, the tide of blood was extremely lethal, and many Dark Alliance members died under the bloody Dou Qi.

The battle on Qing Duan Mountain turned into a slaughter, with the smell of blood filling the air.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin remained in the air, the strong smell of blood awakening their senses.

They paid no attention to the battle on the ground, but looked at the sky in the distance.

There, a group of powerful beings with extraordinary auras approached, at least at the level of Dou Wang.

In addition to the bloody Dou Qi, there was also black mist.

Xiao Yi Xian looked seriously at the black mist. Although there was less of it than the bloody Dou Qi, each one was a Dou Zong.

"No wonder they are a top-tier force in Zhongzhou. Even a branch in the northwest has so many Dou Zongs."

Qing Lin's eyes glowed green, and suddenly, many magical serpent beasts appeared in the space around them.

"Kill!"

With Qing Lin's current power, the beasts she could summon were at least at the Dou Huang level, adding significant strength.

Xiao Yi Xian followed the serpent beasts, leading the strong members of the Dark Alliance against those of the Yun Lan Sect.

Qing Lin stayed behind, conserving energy since the Hall of Souls had not yet sent the Dou Zuns.

With Qing Lin's serpent beasts, the Dark Alliance was not at a disadvantage in terms of power, and both sides fought fiercely on Qing Duan Mountain.

Qing Lin, her eyes glowing green, monitored an area of dozens of miles, but detected no Dou Zun.

"Does the Hall of Souls really trust the Yun Lan Sect to conquer the Black-Corner Region on their own?"
