Asura Mad Emperor

Having slain the Taixuan Sect's Tianxuan elder, he intimidated the other sect elders present.

Qinchuan and his companions left calmly and returned to the Congyun Sect.

Meanwhile, the elders from the Taiyan Sword Sect, Li Mountain Sword Sect, Five Elements Sect, and other such sects still waited outside the Myriad Spirit Garden.

However, as the Myriad Spirit Garden completely closed and vanished from the Myriad Spirit Valley, the disciples of the various sects were nowhere to be seen.

The elders from the surrounding sects immediately showed varying changes in their expressions.

"The Myriad Spirit Garden has completely closed!"

"What's going on? Why hasn't a single disciple from my Taiyan Sword Sect come out?"

"My Five Elements Sect's disciples haven't come out either!"

"And neither have those from my Li Mountain Sword Sect…"

The hearts of the elders from the various sects around them sank to the bottom of the valley, and all of their faces turned deathly pale.

The Myriad Spirit Garden had completely closed and disappeared, but not a single disciple from their sects had been sent out!

"How is it possible, my sect's disciples…"

The sect elders could not believe it, thinking that the disciples from their sects who entered the Myriad Spirit Garden, aside from those from the Sunset Sect, Red Daen Gate, and a few from the Congyun Sect who had already left, not one from the other sects had made it out!

The closure of the Myriad Spirit Garden without their disciples being teleported out meant that those who hadn't come out had all perished within the Myriad Spirit Garden!

Those were the elite disciples of their sects' current generation!

How could they have been completely annihilated?!

"What happened? What exactly happened in the Myriad Spirit Garden? Why haven't they come out—is it because of the turmoil that occurred in the Myriad Spirit Garden before?!"

The sect elders felt darkness before their eyes as if struck by a bolt out of the blue, their minds went blank, and they could not accept this outcome.

"As the leading elder in charge of this herb gathering, I escorted the disciples into the Myriad Spirit Garden, but now… all of my sect's disciples have perished in the Myriad Spirit Garden, not a single one has returned. How am I to report back to the sect?"

An elder wailed in grief.

The elder from the Red Daen Gate was also wide-eyed, shocked by the scene before him. He clearly did not expect that, apart from their disciples from the Red Daen Gate and the few from the Sunset Sect and the Congyun Sect who had left, not one of the disciples from the other sects present had managed to come back alive.

Wasn't the Myriad Spirit Garden just a garden of herbs?

A place rich in heavenly treasures and opportunities.

Why then had it turned into such a deadly ground this time, almost completely decimating the disciples from each sect?!

"Holy Maiden, do you know why the disciples from each sect perished? What exactly happened in the Myriad Spirit Garden?"

The leading elder from the Red Daen Gate couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Ji Qingxia was about to speak, but the image of that figure resembling an Asura Demon God surfaced in her mind, and the words that had reached her lips were forcibly swallowed back.

The elder from the Red Daen Gate frowned.

Another disciple of the Red Daen Gate, with a pale face, said, "Elder Lin, that disciple from the Congyun Sect is a devil, a devil... "

"He killed all the disciples of the Taixuan Sect who entered the Myriad Spirit Garden, even the Taixuan Sect's Saint Heir Xiao Motian... died at his hands..."

"What are you saying? That disciple from the Congyun Sect, is he that madman called Qinchuan?!"

"You're saying he killed all the Taixuan Sect disciples in the Myriad Spirit Garden? And even the Divine King Body Xiao Motian perished by his hand?!"

The elder from the Red Daen Gate couldn't help but cry out in shock.

Elders from other sects around heard the cry of alarm from a Red Daen Gate elder and immediately looked over, their eyes swiftly turning fierce.

"Elder Lin, what my fellow disciple said contains not one bit of falsehood. At that time, disciples from Red Daen Gate, Sunset Sect, and Taixuan Sect gathered to fight over a Jin Ling tree, but then this person emerged out of nowhere, single-handedly annihilating all Taixuan Sect disciples. If he hadn't scorned to take us down as well, I'm afraid we wouldn't have made it back alive..."

The Red Daen Gate disciple, as he recalled the scene, still had a look of shock and panic in his eyes.

"How could that be, isn't Qinchuan only at the First Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm?"

Elder Lin took a deep breath, exclaimed in astonishment, "Holy Maiden, is what Zhou Tong said true or not?"

Ji Qingxia pursed her lips in silence, not denying it.

Elder Lin immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, "A Cultivation Level at the First Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, yet capable of single-handedly sweeping through Taixuan Sect's many talents and leaving you all in such a terrified state; it's no wonder the grand elder from the Congyun Sect regarded him so exceptionally. With such a monstrous genius, how could Congyun Sect not treat him as a treasured gem in their palm?"

The elders of other sects in the vicinity heard these words and scanned the dozens of Red Daen Gate disciples present, observing their expressions to determine the truthfulness of these statements. Their faces started to show various changes.

"I thought this person was just an ignorant troublemaker, but I had never imagined he would be so capable, a true monster to this extent!"

The leading elder of Li Mountain Sword Sect, with a cold look in his eyes, demanded of the Red Daen Gate disciples, "You said all those Taixuan Sect disciples were slaughtered by Qinchuan. Was my Li Mountain Sword Sect also brought to misfortune by his hand?!"

"And my Five Elements Sect disciples, did they fail to return because of this man?!"

"Why have my Taiyan Sword Sect disciples not returned as well?"

"..."

For a moment, the elders from various sects began to interrogate the Red Daen Gate disciples one after another.

"We did not see disciples from the other sects; we only know that the people from Taixuan Sect were executed by Qinchuan..."

"Hmph, if this person has the power to wipe out the Taixuan Sect disciples, he surely has the strength to kill our sects' disciples as well! I didn't expect him to be so audacious and ruthless. So many elite disciples from various sects all fell by his hand. Such a merciless and vicious act is intolerable under the heavens!"

"Congyun Sect must be eliminated..."

Although the Red Daen Gate disciples kept saying they did not know whether disciples from sects other than Taixuan Sect were also executed by Qinchuan, the elders of the various sects had already pinned the blame on Qinchuan.

Even the anomalies that they had sensed emanating from the Myriad Spirit Garden were being ignored by them.

...

A thick expanse of auspicious clouds, like flowing light, raced toward the direction of Congyun Sect.

"Young master, after killing Elder Tianxuan of Taixuan Sect, Taixuan Sect will surely not let this matter rest..."

Wu Wenxuan spoke.

Qinchuan, with his eyes closed and recuperating, said unconcernedly, "Taixuan Sect is nothing to worry about. If they stay down and behave, they can live in peace. But if they like to jump around like Elder Tianxuan, they'll just get crushed to death."

"..."

Zhou Xi, Li Ran, and Wang Hao looked at each other upon hearing this.

Wu Wenxuan bitterly smiled and said, "Young master, Taixuan Sect has been rising like the sun these years, and its strength and foundation should not be underestimated. Our Congyun Sect has long been in decline. If Taixuan Sect really comes to our doorstep, I will definitely defend Congyun Sect to the best of my ability, but I wonder if you have a way to repel the enemy?"

Qinchuan opened his eyes, glanced at Wu Wenxuan, and suddenly smiled, "The mention of a mere Taixuan Sect makes you so anxious. What if I told you that when the time comes, it won't just be Taixuan Sect coming to our door, but also from Shanhe County and even the major sects of the neighboring Dongling County? Can your little heart handle that?"

"Young master, you..."

Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Wu Wenxuan's pupils shrank, and his face turned pale as he exclaimed in shock, "Young master, you couldn't possibly have..."

"I killed disciples from Taixuan Sect and Li Mountain Sword Sect in the Myriad Spirit Garden."

"Moreover, the disciples of several other major sects also stayed behind in the Myriad Spirit Garden. Although not by my hand, I expect the major sects will pin this on me as well, which doesn't really matter to me!"

Qinchuan said indifferently.

"..."

Wu Wenxuan was stunned into silence.
