Chapter 326: Massacre

Chapter 326: Massacre

In the back mountain of the Yun Lan sect, many powerful presences were hidden. However, these presences were not directed at outsiders but at what was inside the mountain. Rather than protecting, they seemed to be guarding.

Inside a stone cabin in the back mountain, Yun Yun slowly opened her eyes. Her long black hair was tied with a phoenix hairpin, and although she wore only a simple white robe, her majestic aura was still evident.

Yun Yun looked to the side, where Nalan Yanran's energy fluctuated unstably, clearly at a critical moment in her breakthrough. Yun Yun, who had once been the leader of the Yun Lan sect, was now like a caged bird, unable to leave the stone cabin.

Remembering Yun Shan's actions, Yun Yun felt a mix of pain and despair. Yun Shan had been her master, but his current actions filled her with repulsion. Their last conversation had ended in a fight, and recalling this, Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"The Yun Lan sect, once a great sect, now seeks to control the country. He has really changed, become ambitious, someone I no longer recognize."

Yun Yun no longer wanted to refer to Yun Shan as her master; she saw him as a stranger.

Crack!

The stone door slowly opened, and a middle-aged woman in the Yun Lan sect uniform entered, carrying a food box. With her gaze lowered, she said, "Sect Master, it's time to eat."

Yun Yun got up and walked towards the woman, casting her a casual glance. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly approached, placing her hands on the woman's shoulders.

The gesture surprised the middle-aged woman, who raised her head, revealing a red glow in her eyes.

"Aunt Yun, have you also cultivated that sinister technique?"

Yun Yun spoke with pain. Seeing the woman who had cared for her in her youth also practicing the soul and body devouring technique, Yun Yun felt a sting in her heart.

The middle-aged woman avoided Yun Yun's pained gaze and replied softly, "Sect Master, I've been stuck at the pinnacle of the Dou Wang realm for many years."

That simple phrase left Yun Yun speechless. This was precisely why the soul and body devouring technique was so sought after. It allowed cultivators who had been stuck at a level to advance.

"Moreover, the former sect master protected you well. You don't know how bad the conditions inside the sect are now. Those who cultivate the technique can oppress and control those who don't. I had no other choice."

"Protected?" Yun Yun took a step back, looking at the middle-aged woman incredulously, as if she had become a stranger. "Do you think this is protection? Being trapped in this stone cabin?"

The middle-aged woman remained silent, responding with her silence. Seeing this, Yun Yun looked at her deeply and said in a distant tone, "Alright, you can leave."

The middle-aged woman bowed and retreated. Yun Yun sank into a chair, remembering how Yun Shan had suggested she also cultivate the soul and body devouring technique. A determined expression appeared in her eyes. She would rather die than cultivate such a sinister technique.

At that moment, a cold female voice echoed through the mountain.

"Yun Shan, come out right now!"

Medusa's voice was like striking a hornet's nest, causing many powerful cultivators to appear in the mountain, with their energy wings spread out.

Seeing Medusa and Xiao Ze floating in the air, their expressions changed slightly. They were as strong as Dou Zong!

Xiao Ze glanced at the powerful Yun Lan cultivators, noticing that they all had a red glow in their eyes, and that glow was intense.

"They have all cultivated the soul and body devouring technique."

"Hmph! Two Dou Zong dare to challenge the Yun Lan sect?" A cultivator with an intense bloody aura shot into the sky.

With his appearance, several other cultivators followed, all able to float in the air like Xiao Ze and Medusa.

"Two Dou Zong! This will allow us to advance even further!"

"I didn't expect them to come as prey."

Looking at Xiao Ze and Medusa with eyes full of greed and desire, as if they were a delicacy.

Xiao Ze noticed that their eyes didn't have lust, but a desire to devour. His more robust physique attracted their gazes even more. Now he understood better the previous comment about the growing need to devour living beings over time.

These cultivators were slaves to power.

Medusa looked at Xiao Ze, and seeing his unperturbed expression, she decided to act. With her Dou Zun power, facing these Dou Zong was like cutting vegetables.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared in her hand, covered in multicolored energy. Without saying a word, she swung it.

A hundred-meter-long sword light tore through the space towards the Yun Lan cultivators, alarming many.

The energy Medusa released far exceeded the limits of a Dou Zong, causing the greedy cultivators to change their expressions.

"Dou Zun!"

In front of that sword, they all released their maximum energy, trying to stop it.

But all their energy melted away like snow under the sun before the sword.

Sshh!

None of the Dou Zong cultivators could escape. The intense red glow in their eyes became their death sentence.

The terrifying energy dispersed, causing many other Yun Lan cultivators to vomit blood and retreat. Even the energy waves were more than they could bear.

At that moment, Xiao Ze's spiritual energy spread out, frowning as he noticed that, apart from those cultivators, there were no other Dou Zong presences in the Yun Lan sect.

"Yun Shan is not here."

Xiao Ze trusted his spiritual energy, and not detecting Yun Shan, he assumed he wasn't present.

"In that case, let's destroy the Yun Lan sect headquarters."

Medusa spoke coldly. She had never been a good person, and before following Xiao Ze, she was known for her cruelty in the surrounding empires.

She never hesitated to kill, much less those who had pursued the Snake Empire. Medusa sought bloody revenge.

"Alright, but don't harm others. I could sense that some people don't have the red glow in their eyes, which means they haven't cultivated the soul and body devouring technique."

Medusa nodded, releasing all her energy. Multicolored sword slashes fell, eliminating the Yun Lan cultivators with the red glow in their eyes.
