Just when the high-ranking members of Radiant Tower decided to start the final decisive battle in advance and intervene using Prodigious Realm powerhouses, a shadow quietly reached the southern region.
“Elder Sister Jiaqi, this is today’s information,” a young man with short hair spoke softly as he approached and placed a stack of documents in front of Mo Jiaqi’s desk.
“Okay, I got it.” Mo Jiaqi nodded and smiled at the young man. “Thank you, Zhao Mu.”
The young man named Zhao Mu seemed a little shy. He showed a bashful look and spoke in a rushed voice, “Sister Jiaqi, you should also get some rest!”
Mo Jiaqi was stunned. Recently, the war between the righteous and demonic paths was in full swing, so she was also very busy. She hadn’t had a good rest for a long time.
So she smiled again and patted Zhao Mu’s arm. “Alright, I’ll get some proper rest after I finish reviewing today’s batch of documents.”
Zhao Mu nodded excitedly when he saw that his suggestion actually had an effect. A strange feeling was gradually emerging in his heart.
‘Sister Jiaqi actually listened to my advice. Nobody else could persuade her. She…’
Just when Zhao Mu’s heart was surging, his eyes gradually widened when staring at Mo Jiaqi. This was because he saw a wisp of black shadow slowly climbing up along the foot of the table.
The dark shadow seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. Without giving Zhao Mu any time to react, it had already climbed up Mo Jiaqi’s neck in the blink of an eye. However, Mo Jiaqi seemed to be entirely unaware of this.
“Be care—” Before Zhao Mu finished speaking, he saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.
That shadow, which was wrapped around Mo Jiaqi’s neck, actually made a light slicing motion, and the latter’s head fell down just like that!
“S-Sister Jiaqi…” Zhao Mu froze, stupefied. He had never seen such a dreadful scene before!
Gu Nan’s figure also gradually emerged at this time. Only then did he notice the person standing beside Mo Jiaqi. “Eh? You’re also from Radiant Tower?”
Zhao Mu finally reacted and suddenly became furious. “You killed Sister Jiaqi. I will avenge her!”
While speaking, he had already lunged at Gu Nan.
Bam!
Gu Nan simply slapped him away, sending him flying into the wall. The slap fell on his face and completely deformed his face. Naturally, his chances of survival were slim.
“How stupid… Doesn’t he know that dying inside the plane only means she can’t enter this world again?”
……
……
Half an hour later, the manor housing Radiant Tower’s branch office was submerged in flames. None of the staff inside survived. The materials, scrolls, and all kinds of documents inside were all burnt to ashes.
Gu Nan brushed the dust off his clothes after he finished, leaving no trace behind.
He wanted to kill Mo Jiaqi because she was the one who slaughtered Yan Xiaoxiao’s entire family on Gu Nan’s orders.
As long as Mo Jiaqi remained in Immortal Demon World, the people from Radiant Tower might exploit this weakness to drive a wedge between him and Yan Xiaoxiao in the future.
And killing Mo Jiaqi was tantamount to destroying the evidence.
Even if Tang Xuan knew about this matter, she didn’t have any evidence, so her words alone would be useless.
He specially came here to destroy evidence in order to prepare himself for all eventualities. In fact, the current Gu Nan no longer needed anything from Yan Xiaoxiao. At most, he just wanted someone to help manage the organization.
During the war between the righteous and demonic paths, Gu Nan needed a reliable pair of eyes to collect intelligence and find suitable targets for him to hunt.
But after the war, it wouldn’t affect Gu Nan even if Yan Xiaoxiao found out the truth.
……
……
While Gu Nan was dealing with Mo Jiaqi, great changes finally came to Immortal Demon World.
The war between the righteous and demonic paths, which lasted nearly nine months, was finally about to enter the final stage—the confrontation between the most powerful forces on both sides: the showdown between Prodigious Realm experts.
September 15: The Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Sect, Daoist Yuli, used the Heavenly Fire to burn the demonic path’s army of 70,000 troops, shaking the world.
September 17: Daoist Yuli reappeared and was besieged by three Prodigious Realm masters from the demonic path, suffering serious injuries as a result.
September 21: Many demonic path masters infiltrated the righteous path’s stronghold in an attempt to assassinate high-ranking leaders, but they were met with an ambush by the righteous path and suffered heavy losses.
September 25: Joyful Union Dao’s Pure Land Bodhisattva fell.
September 29……
Once the war between Prodigious Realm masters was ignited, there was no longer any room for either side to hold back. The powerhouses on both sides threw themselves into the battlefield. In the short span of one month, nearly ten Prodigious Realm experts had already fallen.
This number was already the total accumulation of both the righteous and demonic paths over hundreds of years.
On battlefields that ordinary people couldn’t see, even more Prodigious Realm cultivators were constantly being killed or injured. Even the vast majority of famous native powerhouses died in those battles.
In a dense forest in the north of the continent, a team was hurrying along. They reached a hidden valley.
“Hall Master, the Yin Pagoda Sect’s last stronghold is up ahead. Their Saint, Saintess, and remaining guardian elder are all inside,” a man in black reported while bowing to a girl dressed in bright yellow.
“Do it,” the girl said calmly and emotionlessly.
This girl was naturally Yan Xiaoxiao. According to the intelligence she gathered, the Yin Pagoda Sect was the culprit that launched a surprise attack on her Yan family in the past and slaughtered them.
Ever since Gu Nan fought with the Demon Lord, Yan Xiaoxiao had embarked on the road to wipe the Yin Pagoda Sect from existence.
Commanding a team from Azure Dragon Hall, she conquered thousands of miles in a month, wiping out over 30 strongholds belonging to the Yin Pagoda Sect. She forcibly beat a mid-sized sect like Yin Pagoda Sect into an organization that only had a few members scattered about like stray cats or dogs.
Yan Xiaoxiao’s growth was too fast.
Half a year ago, she was just a little girl who could only do a little kung fu. But when Gu Nan came to save her last time, she was already able to fight on equal grounds with Innate Realm Sixth Stage experts.
And now, Yan Xiaoxiao no longer cared about those at Innate Realm.
After all, she followed a teacher who could crush those at the same level ever since he was Innate, and who dared to hunt down Prodigious Realm masters when he was only at the peak of Innate Realm. Thus, Yan Xiaoxiao already had her sights set on much higher realms.
All three of Yin Pagoda Sect’s Innate Realm Sixth Stage experts had died by her hands. All the direct blood relatives of Yin Pagoda Sect’s Sect Master were bled dry one by one, had their dried corpses beheaded, and were then offered as sacrifice.
And now, finally, one last location was left.
The Saint and Saintess were the last descendants of Yin Pagoda Sect. As long as she killed them, she would’ve severed Yin Pagoda Sect’s roots and completely erased them from the continent.
And with the lesson of Gu Nan and the Demon Lord’s battle still fresh in people’s memories, no Prodigious Realm master dared to intervene when Yan Xiaoxiao went out under the banner of Azure Dragon Hall…
The members of Azure Dragon Hall quickly obeyed their orders and went. On the contrary, Yan Xiaoxiao stood outside the stronghold and didn’t speak for a long time.
“Sister Xiaoxiao?” Bai Luoluo looked at her with some confusion.
“Little Bai, say… What else can I do after I get my revenge?” Yan Xiaoxiao’s voice sounded melancholy and even contained a little hesitance.
Bai Luoluo tilted his head and thought for a moment. “Sister Xiaoxiao can recruit more people into our Azure Dragon Hall! We will develop Azure Dragon Hall into the largest organization in the world!”
Bai Luoluo’s eyes lit up brightly as she said this, and she secretly added, ‘At that time, who will dare to bully us anymore!?’
Yan Xiaoxiao laughed involuntarily and reached out to rub the back of the little loli’s head.
“The strongest force in the world? I also want that… but…” Yan Xiaoxiao recalled the past. She remembered Mo Jiaqi and the day Mo Jiaqi introduced her to Gu Nan.
“But in this world, there’s a group of people who come from another world
