Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 99

Chapter 99: The Half-Demon Legion Annihilated

On the Divine Sword Hall Plaza.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao, where are the bodies of Real Person Yangmei and Han Tianbao?”

Celestial Being Chai asked, “When Prince Luo’s forces arrive, if we send their bodies over, it will definitely shake their morale.”

The successive fall of two Celestial Beings was definitely a huge blow to Prince Luo’s Residence.

After all, Celestial Beings were the most powerful fighting force. Even if Prince Luo’s Residence’s Martial Arts Legion was still intact, losing two Celestial Beings would significantly reduce their overall combat strength.

Moreover, in a war involving Celestial Being level experts, the Martial Arts Legion needed the support of Celestial Beings to truly unleash their strongest fighting power.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the Martial Arts Legion was, without the support of Celestial Beings, their collapse was only a matter of time.

The mobility of the Martial Arts Legion was not strong, and they could not maintain their battle formation forever.

After all, although the Martial Arts Legion’s gathering of military morale and fighting spirit seemed to greatly amplify the spirit of the martial soldiers and the Martial Intent of the generals, it could not be maintained for a long time. Over time, it would decline, and eventually, the martial soldiers would become extremely tired both mentally and physically.

At this time, they had to take various pills to replenish their spirit and restore their physical strength.

Therefore, for a Martial Arts Legion to maintain its strong combat strength, there were two important factors: first, the support of Celestial Beings, and second, sufficient pill supplies.

“Naturally, they were buried on the spot, but I found two identification tokens on their bodies.”

Xiao Wendao said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out two tokens from his body.

The two tokens were similar. The front read “Made by Prince Luo,” and the back was engraved with “Heavenly Ranked Guest Elder” plus a name.

They represented the identity of a Heavenly Ranked Guest Elder of Prince Luo’s Residence.

Those who were qualified to become Heavenly Ranked Guest Elders were definitely at the Celestial Being level.

“These two Heavenly Ranked Guest Elder tokens will also work.”

Celestial Being Chai said.

“Ah, it’s a pity about Fellow Daoist Hua.”

Xiao Wendao suddenly sighed and said.

Initially, there were two Celestial Beings, him and Celestial Being Hua, who had blocked the pursuit of Prince Luo’s Residence’s Celestial Beings.

He had escaped, but Celestial Being Hua was most likely in danger.

After all, Celestial Being Hua did not have his ability to escape.

“After Prince Luo’s Residence is eliminated, my imperial clan will definitely rebuild Hundred Flowers Palace for Celestial Being Hua.”

Celestial Being Chai said.

This was a statement to avoid disheartening the people present.

“Celestial Being Hua’s spirit in heaven will definitely be very comforted.”

Xiao Wendao nodded and said.

This was the statement he wanted from Celestial Being Chai.

Then, everyone walked into the Divine Sword Hall and began to discuss countermeasures.

In the darkness of night.

The moon hid back into the clouds, making the world pitch black.

Li Qian searched along the marching route of Prince Luo’s Residence’s Martial Arts Legion and finally found a large group of people more than a hundred kilometers away.

There were about a thousand people.

Everyone was riding a horse.

They were escorting a carriage on the main road.

A banner was inserted on the carriage with a pattern of a heavenly wolf worshipping the moon.

He had seen Half-Demons before.

Moreover, he absorbed Demon Stones every day, so he was very sensitive to the aura of Half-Demons.

Even when Half-Demons were not transformed, he could still keenly detect some abnormalities.

At this moment, Li Qian was lurking in a tree by the roadside, waiting for the group of people to come over.

“What a strong Half-Demon aura.”

Li Qian closed his eyes.

Although he did not release his spiritual perception, he could still sense an invisible Half-Demon aura rushing towards him.

It was because there were too many Half-Demons, and they had deliberately formed a whole, that the invisible Half-Demon aura was so obvious.

“It’s definitely that Half-Demon Legion.”

Li Qian immediately confirmed.

Although this Half-Demon Legion did not form a battle formation and did not transform into Half-Demons, their auras were connected to each other. They were obviously using a very special Half-Demon cultivation method.

In this way, even if they were attacked, this Half-Demon Legion would be able to react immediately and would not be caught off guard.

After all, the strength gap between Half-Demons when they were transformed and when they were not transformed was very large.

After these Half-Demons transformed, they immediately possessed terrifying strength comparable to that of a Grandmaster level expert.

He wondered how these Half-Demons were cultivated.

If they could be cultivated without restrictions, it would be terrifying.

However, if that were the case, the Moon Worship Cult would have dominated the world long ago. They would not have been hiding in the shadows like rats, and they would not have to cooperate with Prince Luo’s Residence now.

Obviously, there should be many restrictions and difficulties in cultivating Half-Demons.

“The auras of this Half-Demon Legion are connected, but they haven’t transformed yet. It will take them some time to complete their transformation. If I take this opportunity, there is a high possibility that I can break their formation.”

He began to ponder whether he could retreat safely if he suddenly attacked at close range.

The large group of people had already reached the halfway point.

The carriage was also close at hand.

Li Qian silently calculated the time.

After the carriage passed, Li Qian did not hesitate and suddenly made his move.

Whoosh!

Sword Eighteen was unsheathed.

He darted out like a phantom, releasing the Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary and using the Sound of the Time Bell for an area attack. Dong, dong, dong…

The invisible bell sound spread.

The black-clothed riders within a two-meter radius were all enveloped by the Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary.

His sword thrust out like a dragon, with streaks of sword light blooming. Wherever it passed, it stirred up a storm of blood and gore.

All the black-clothed people who had not yet transformed were like chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered. Not to mention resisting, they could not even react.

As he moved quickly, black-clothed people fell one after another like wheat being harvested.

It was only at this time that a sharp shout came from the carriage in front, “Enemy attack!”

Immediately, the black-clothed people in front who were not affected reacted and began to transform, turning into terrifying monsters more than two meters tall.

After these monsters completed their transformation, they quickly charged towards the rear of the carriage without fear of death.

At this time, the rear of the carriage was already littered with corpses.

Hundreds of black-clothed people had all fallen.

At this time, some black-clothed people who were further away finally completed their transformation and charged towards Li Qian, who was wantonly slaughtering, in groups of three or five.

Just as Li Qian sensed the Half-Demons swarming towards him from both front and back and was wondering whether to retreat, one of the Half-Demons that rushed into his Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary suddenly trembled violently and revealed a painful expression. It instantly deactivated its Half-Demon form and turned back into an ordinary human.

More Half-Demons rushed over and encountered the same situation.

As long as they entered the range of the Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary, these Half-Demons would deactivate their Half-Demon forms.

“What’s going on?”

Li Qian was stunned.

Could it be that his Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary could restrain Half-Demons?

The black-clothed, veiled woman who got out of the carriage was also stunned.

◈◈◈

Why did those who had already completed their transformations deactivate their transformations as soon as they got close to the man in the black cloak?

At the same time, she saw a large number of Half-Demon martial artists being slaughtered, suffering heavy losses. Her heart was bleeding.

This was her capital!

As the Holy Maiden of the Moon Worship Cult, she had paid a huge price to be able to control a Half-Demon Legion. Now, she had probably lost a third of it.

Moreover, these losses were still rapidly expanding.

“Form formation!”

A Half-Demon with a body size of almost three meters suddenly roared.

He was the leader of this Half-Demon Legion and also the Holy Maiden of the Moon Worship Cult’s confidant.

The hundreds of Half-Demons who had been charging forward frantically stopped. Led by this strongest Half-Demon, they began to form a formation. Their rolling auras condensed, and then they charged towards Li Qian, who was still slaughtering, with the momentum of a torrent.

Li Qian sensed this terrifying momentum and was shocked.

This was only less than half of the Half-Demons forming a formation. If it was the full strength of this Half-Demon Legion, it would definitely be even more terrifying.

However, after he knew that his Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary could restrain Half-Demons, he had sufficient confidence. He did not think that this Half-Demon formation would be able to resist his Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary.

He immediately advanced instead of retreating, facing the rolling momentum of the Half-Demon Legion.

Dong, dong, dong.

The Time Bell’s area mental attack swept out.

At the same time, the Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary spread out from him in waves.

As soon as the charging Half-Demon Legion entered the range of his Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary, all their fierce auras were extinguished. They all revealed painful expressions, and then their Half-Demon forms were deactivated, turning back into normal human bodies.

Li Qian rushed forward, sweeping his sword horizontally. Sword light bloomed, and the Half-Demons who had gathered in formation were like wheat being harvested.

The Half-Demon leader at the front had stronger cultivation and strength, but after his Half-Demon form was deactivated, he could not resist Li Qian’s terrifying Sword Intent and the Time Bell’s influence. He was still in a daze when his head was cut off.

After Li Qian charged into the Half-Demon battle formation, he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing in all directions. Wherever he went, corpses littered the ground.

In the end, the remaining Half-Demons, as if they did not know fear, continued to charge forward fearlessly.

The Black-Clothed Holy Maiden trembled all over, her body ice-cold.

It’s over.

It’s all over.

By the time Li Qian killed the last Half-Demon with a single sword strike, the entire road was covered with corpses.

The strong smell of blood permeated the air, making people nauseous.

Li Qian, holding the blood-free Sword Eighteen, walked towards the carriage.

At this moment, the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden was like a walking corpse. Looking at the tragic scene in front of her, her mind went blank.

The few maids around her were also terrified, but they still remembered their mission and duty, staying close to the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden.

“You, you are a devil.”

Suddenly, the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden looked at Li Qian, who was approaching, her body swaying. She suddenly retreated and then screamed hysterically.

“Your Moon Worship Cult creating such disgusting monsters is the real devilish act.”

Li Qian’s hoarse voice sounded.

After he finished speaking, he did not bother to say anything more. He immediately rushed forward with Sword Eighteen.

The bodies of the few maids beside the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden changed drastically, and they also completed their Half-Demon transformations. However, these Half-Demon forms were very different from the previous ones, more similar to the Half-Demons encountered during the secret mission to eliminate Mu Family Fortress.

The Moon Worship Cult should have mastered two methods of cultivating Half-Demons.

Just as the few Half-Demonized maids rushed over, Li Qian’s Rudimentary Blood and Qi Sanctuary swept over them. The maids immediately deactivated their Half-Demon forms. With a sweep of his sword, he sent them all to the Western Paradise.

Seeing this, the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden finally calmed down, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

By the time Li Qian finished off the few maids, black blood was already flowing from the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden’s mouth. Then, she collapsed to the ground and instantly died.

“She died quite decisively.”

Li Qian looked at the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden’s corpse with a surprised expression. He guessed that she was afraid of being interrogated and revealing the secrets of the Moon Worship Cult.

He briefly checked the Black-Clothed Holy Maiden’s body. Apart from a small cloth bag containing bottles and jars, there were no other items related to the secrets of the Moon Worship Cult.

He looked back at the road full of corpses and touched his chin. The killing was too brutal.

This was the first time he had killed so many people.

However, these were all disgusting monsters that could not be considered normal people, so he felt relieved.

If it were not for this Half-Demon Legion, Prince Ye’s Residence’s army would not have been defeated so badly.

He did not know how much blood of his fellow disciples from Divine Sword Sect was on the hands of these Half-Demons.

He was only avenging his dead fellow disciples.

Immediately, he turned and flew into the darkness.

Morning.

Ten kilometers away from Divine Sword Sect.

A vast stretch of huge military camps had been erected.

The Prince Luo flag fluttered in the wind.

Inside the commander’s tent.

Many Celestial Beings and Martial Arts Legion commanders were gathered together.

Everyone was in high spirits.

As long as they captured Divine Sword Sect and blocked Taicang Pass, the imperial court’s suppression would collapse without a fight, and Prince Luo’s Residence’s territory would be as stable as Mount Tai.

“Why haven’t Real Person Yangmei and Fellow Daoist Han arrived yet?”

Commander-in-Chief Luo Tiange sat on the main seat with a dignified air and said in a deep voice.

“These two Fellow Daoists were chasing after Xiao Wendao from Divine Sword Sect. They are probably delayed.”

A Celestial Being said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tiange frowned.

Last time, it was Chen Ao, the Celestial Being from Mysterious Netherworld Sect, who chased after Xiao Wendao and was eventually killed by Xiao Wendao.

This time, Real Person Yangmei and Han Tianbao, two Celestial Beings, were jointly chasing after him. Such a situation should not happen, but he still felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly, a report came from outside.

“Reporting, Divine Sword Sect has sent an envoy over.”

“Let the envoy in.”

Luo Tiange said in a deep voice.

Soon, a Divine Sword Sect Elder walked in with his head held high. He glanced at everyone present and then landed his gaze on Luo Tiange. Without bowing, he said arrogantly, “The Celestial Being of my Divine Sword Sect has sent me to deliver three things.”

The Celestial Being of Divine Sword Sect?

Wasn’t it Xiao Wendao?

Wasn’t Xiao Wendao being chased by Real Person Yangmei and Han Tianbao, two Celestial Beings? How could he still send someone to deliver things?

Luo Tiange and the others were stunned.

The next moment, the Divine Sword Sect Elder directly took out three tokens.

“These are the Heavenly Ranked Guest Elder identification tokens of Chen Ao, the Celestial Being from Mysterious Netherworld Sect, Real Person Yangmei, the Celestial Being from Purple Cloud Sect, and Han Tianbao, the Celestial Being from Prince Luo’s Residence. Now, they are returned to their original owners.”

Luo Tiange stretched out his hand and grabbed. The three tokens in the Divine Sword Sect Elder’s hand immediately flew into his hand.

After he carefully examined them, his face turned gloomy.

Even the Heavenly Ranked Guest Elder identification tokens had fallen into the hands of Divine Sword Sect. The fate of Real Person Yangmei and Han Tianbao could be imagined.

But he could not understand how Xiao Wendao had killed them both.

This was too outrageous!

Even though he possessed the cultivation of a Middle-Level Celestial Being, he believed that even if he was injured and being jointly chased by Real Person Yangmei and Han Tianbao, he would probably not be able to kill them both.

At this time, another hurried voice came from outside the tent.

“Reporting, Commander-in-Chief, something has happened to the Moon Worship Cult.”
