That night, the Combat Mannequin went on a rampage. He first killed seven Paradis Realm experts and then traversed into Eastern Region and beheaded all the Fo disciples who came forth.
There was a saying about Eastern Region not having any Buddha, and it really became true.
The Jiuyang Sect also went crazy, slaughtering their enemies.
Countless experts trapped by the great formation were decimated as the bloodshed slowly formed into streams. However, the Jiuyang Sect also suffered some setbacks, where many hilltops were shattered, and numerous disciples were killed.
God knew how many Eastern Region experts could sleep peacefully that night.
Early in the morning in the Qingyun Sect, Holy Lord Ming Yuzi and Supreme Elder Qing Fengzi stood silently as they looked in the direction of the Jiuyang Sect, their expression solemn as ever.
“Numerous Primal Spirit experts, seven Paradis experts, and even an Extreme Path expert were all killed!” Ming Yuzi muttered in a trembling voice, “How does the Jiuyang Sect have such a strong background?”
“It’s not seven Paradis experts but 10. All who came from the Fo Sect were killed, and there was no one left standing. It was ruthless!” Qing Fengzi exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath that turned into a gust of wind, swiftly sweeping through the horizon. “I am now 50% sure that the overnight annihilation
of the alliance between the Yinmo Sect, Long Yuan, and Submerged Dragon Immortal Union had something to do with the Jiuyang Sect.”
“The Jiuyang Sect was always under our surveillance all this while! How could such a strong person suddenly appear? It shouldn’t be possible!” Ming Yuzi could not wrap his head around this fact.
“Yes, it really shouldn’t be possible!” Qing Fengzi was also confused. “Whatever the case is, we cannot continue probing the Jiuyang Sect now. Before we can get to the bottom of it, we should only wait and see from afar. By the way, secretly pass the news to the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion. Tell them that
their Holy Son’s death was the Jiuyang Sect’s doing.”
“Was it really them?”
“It’s very likely. There’s even a chance that Tian Ci of the Tianyuan School being hunted down and killed was the doings of the Jiuyang Sect as well. Whether it’s really the case, just spread the news around.”
“Alright! The 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty from Zhong Province will be visiting the Eastern Region again. Should we secretly induce him a little about the Jiuyang Sect?”
“although it won’t be of great use, you can still try. But remember not to expose us all.”
“Got it. Now that the Eastern Region’s Fo Sect has been annihilated, will the Western Region’s Fo Sect be enraged? Will they send over more experts?”

“They wouldn’t! They can no longer take any losses!”
The two continued discussing and made their plans.
On Chuyang Peak.
Standing in the pavilion, Jiang Ming sniffed the fragrance of the flowers and stretched himself as he muttered, “It’s yet another wonderful day!”
He was in a great mood.
The Combat Mannequin had long returned from its battle and was now sitting cross-legged near the cliff, facing the Eastern direction.
“Many were killed last night!” Five Elemental Linglong came over and snuggled next to Jiang Ming. “However, after this battle, Qing Province and even Eastern Region will not dare to provoke us anymore.”
“A battle to determine the peace of the whole world!” Jiang Ming smiled and asked, “What would you like to eat? I’ll be making breakfast.”
“Brother, let me do it!”
“No, let me!”
“Senior Brother’s the best! I like whatever you cook!”
“Alright then! Wait here for a while!”
Jiang Ming did not go downstairs but instead took out a whole set of kitchen utensils and started preparing breakfast just by the side.
There was no need for firewood or to get water from the wells. The fire needed was ignited with mana, and the water was condensed from spiritual essence into liquid. It was much simpler!
It didn’t take long before breakfast was prepared. It was a prawn porridge and soup-filled buns, a simple meal.
‘Xi Yao, who was looking over from afar, started to feel jealous of them.
“Tm here for a bite,” she yelled, flying over to them as she couldn’t help herself. “The prawns are still glowing even after they’re cooked, and even Dao fluctuations are emitted around. What level was the Prawn Demon?” Xi Yao asked.
“primal Spirit level, just eat it,” Jiang Ming explained, “The soup-filled buns are infused with the crab roe of a Paradis Crab Demon.
“That’s so extravagant!” Xi Yao could not help but grin. “My tastebuds are getting used to all this pampering. What will I do in the future?”
“Nothing!” Linglong snorted and started drinking the porridge.
Although it was a simple breakfast, everyone ate with much relish.
“Ding: Congratulations to the host for preparing a scrumptious breakfast. You enjoyed the meal, and so did the guests. Rewarded with a bottle of Skeletal Sword Pill.”
The reward really took Jiang Ming by surprise.
Skeletal Sword Pill: 10 tablets per bottle. When used by those below the Purple Mansion Realm, it will help the consumer forge a Sword Skeletal system that improves the person’s affinity with the Sword Dao, allowing the consumer to learn Sword Dao techniques in one go easily.
‘Alteration of the physiques and even granting a talent. This is truly an overwhelming pill but of what use to me’ Jiang Ming shook his head before keeping the bottle of pills.
He lay back on the rattan chair to enjoy the peaceful and chilling morning as the morning breeze swept softly.
Suddenly, Gu Hai returned, his face betraying exhaustion.
“Tm exhausted!” Gu Hai sat right beside Jiang Ming, picked up the teapot, and chugged down the whole pot of tea. Immediately, the pores of his body started to spurt bright lights, and his exhaustion was completely swept away.
“It’s still comfortable here!” Gu Hai sighed.
“Many died?”Jiang Ming asked knowingly.
“Many were killed. Hundreds of disciples and many Elders passed away last night,” Gu Hai replied moodily. “If it wasn’t for the Life and Death Disillusionment Formation Disk that you gave us, the Jiuyang Sect’s name would’ve been erased from existence. Speaking of which, the waves of aura from the
aftermath of the great battle last night gave everyone the chills! How did the battle go?” Gu Hai turned to his side and looked at the Combat Mannequin that was right on the edge of the cliff. He felt inexplicably safe.
“The Fo Sect was eradicated,” Jiang Ming replied. “From today onward, there should be no one above the Primal Spirit Realm that will cause trouble here. Even if they do, they’ll just end up dead. Don’t worry, Master. From now on, you old man can just live a happy life with Yin Yue and work on getting me a
baby Junior Sister!”
“You dare make fun of your Master! You brat!” Gu Hai was furious as he slapped Jiang Ming on the back of his head. He then smiled before starting to laugh out loud. “Haha! Great! Splendid! Our Jiuyang Sect is finally rising to its glory. And to think the foundation that brought upon our sect rising were my
two disciples! Well! It’s truly wonderful!”
Jiang Ming rubbed the back of his head and smiled helplessly. To think that he, a person who could even kill an Imminent Immortal expert, was getting the back of his head slapped.
Anyway, this old man was the only one in the world who could beat him like that. If someone else tried.
“Master, what are your plans?” Jiang Ming asked.
“Heal up, put our dead ones to rest and then expand ourselves,” Gu Hai replied. “There is no rush for us to expand our sect. After all, the forces in Qing Province are almost completely wiped out. The result will be the same whether it’s sooner or later.”
Jiang Ming nodded in agreement.
With the Great Eastern War followed by the carnage and bloodshed last night, how many experts were left in Qing Province?
The birth of an expert required an accumulation of time, after all.
“This saddened heart of mine cannot suppress my restless heart. Just the thought of our Jiuyang Sect’s future of completely taking control of the whole Qing Province and even expanding beyond it makes me ecstatic. I need to share this great news with your Senior Aunt Yin Yue and the Sect Master as.
well.” Gu Hai stood up, smiling as he flew off.
“This old man!” Jiang Ming could not help but smile as well.
Peace and calm were restored on the mountains.
The restless Eastern Region slowly calmed down.
The 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and his group, who had just arrived in Eastern Region were stunned.
High above the skies, in the midst of the ever-flowing clouds, a thousand-meter-long flying vessel was pushing through the sea of clouds moving forward rapidly.
The 18th Prince, Zhou Tian, stood at the top full of energy, with a blazing fighting spirit and extreme confidence.
“Linglong, I’ve returned! I’ll pay back all the shame you’ve brought upon me! And I’m going to get you for sure! I’ll make you my slave and let the Jiuyang Sect submit under me!”
Zhou Tian placed his hands behind his back, as his face was brimming with overbearing pride and arrogance.
At that very moment, an old man walked over and whispered, “Your Royal Highness, I’ve just received news that the Great Qing Province Battle last night has affected the entire Eastern Region.”
“Great Qing Province Battle? Affecting the whole Eastern Region? What’s going on?” Zhou Tian asked in confusion.
The old man was the one who acted as Zhou Tian’s guardian, Chang Yun. He followed along this time reluctantly.
“The First Seat of one of the Jiuyang Sect’s peaks was discovered to be of the Yinmo Sect! Instigated by someone, Qing Province, along with many forces of Eastern Region, gathered to form an alliance and besieged the Jiuyang Sect. However, they were the ones who were countered and killed. Even the Fo
disciples who came to preach in Eastern Region were all killed.
“All the Fo preachers were killed!” Zhou Tian was shocked by the news. “As far as I know, the Fo preachers were at the very least led by a Paradis expert, right?”
“Yes, that’s right!” Chang Yun answered.
“They were still killed?”
“There were seven Paradis experts and one Extreme Path expert. All of them were killed, and none survived!”
“How is that possible? Is this piece of news reliable!?” Zhou Tian drew a cold breath.
“The news came from the internal departments of the Qingyun Sect. It’s extremely reliable!”
“How is that possible? How can the Jiuyang Sect be so powerful?”
“Tdon’t understand this either. Your Royal Highness, do you still want to head toward the Jiuyang Sect?”
“Hehe… Hehe…” Zhou Tian’s mind was completely jumbled.
He had wanted to subdue the Jiuyang Sect and capture Zi Linglong one moment ago, yet the very next moment, he found out that the Jiuyang Sect had annihilated the Eastern Region alliance? That even included seven Paradis experts and one Extreme Path expert of the Fo Sect?
Zhou Tian thought someone must be pulling his legs and that it was more nonsense than a dream! Yet he had no choice but to believe it!
“Your Royal Highness, we are still marching in the direction of the Jiuyang Sect. We are very near now with only ten or so thousand miles away from them!” Chang Yun reminded him.
Zhou Tian suddenly shivered upon hearing the reminder.
