A scream followed immediately, "Ah..."
In just half a day, only children under the age of five remained in Fengkang City.
Ji Xiaoxiao gathered the children in a square, turned her head away, and a raging fire instantly burned the children to ashes.
I stared blankly at my hands; this was unavoidable in future tasks.
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled silently, and sad tears slid down her cheeks.
The fire gradually spread, and the Fengkang City, built up over a century, was destroyed in a single day.
...
A day later, disciples and elders from the four major righteous sects arrived in Fengkang City one after another.
Sparks flickered across the ruins, broken wood and rubble lay scattered, a scene of utter desolation.
"Cough cough cough..."
Black smoke billowed into the sky, pungent and choking, causing the pampered cultivators to cough.
The four major righteous sects dispatched disciples to search, but found no survivors.
"I've mentioned before that we should have one or two Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in Fengkang City, so that it wouldn't be helpless should something bad happen. But you wouldn't listen, saying that cultivators shouldn't get involved in the mortal world, lest they become entangled in karma and hinder their cultivation. Nonsense! Look at what this once prosperous Fengkang City has become! Thirty thousand five hundred and twenty-one people have died unjustly. Feel the resentment and malevolent energy filling this place. Ask yourselves, do you have any regrets?"
The speaker was an old man with a completely white beard, dressed in a gray-white Taoist robe, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance. However, at this moment, he was puffing out his beard, glaring, slapping his thigh, and shouting that it wasn't worth it; he looked no different from any other old man in the mortal world.
It gained more humanity but lost some of its ethereal charm; there are gains and losses in everything.
"Lie Yun, what do you mean by that?" Elder Li of the Haotian Sect roared.
It's no wonder Elder Li was furious. Elder Lieyun's resounding words undoubtedly made those who had rejected Elder Lieyun's proposal in the past bear part of the cause and effect of the destruction of Fengkang City.
The early-stage advancement speed of demonic cultivators is unmatched by righteous cultivators. However, it is common knowledge that for demonic cultivators to transcend tribulations and ascend to heaven is extremely difficult. The various reasons for this are all due to the indiscriminate killing of innocents by demonic cultivators, which only accumulates more karma. Even if they only bear a portion of the karma from the destruction of Fengkang City today, it will be enough to cause them considerable trouble during their tribulation.
Misfortune struck out of nowhere, leaving Elder Li speechless and unable to express his bitterness.
If it weren't for the deep friendship between the Haotian Sect and the Huotian Valley, Elder Li would have already smashed Lie Yu's skull with a single palm strike.
Elder Li had a bad temper, but he was somewhat mindful of his words and only said harshly, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."
Lie Yun, true to his name, has a temperament just like Elder Li's—easily provoked.
Elder Li not only refused to repent, but he also had the audacity to speak to him.
Hmph, do you think my Fire Heaven Valley is afraid of his Haotian Sect!
Lie Yu rolled up his sleeves, and Elder Li was equally poised to fight, showing signs of a major brawl.
"Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Lieyu, Fellow Daoist Li, let's talk this out. It's not appropriate to fight here."
“You old bald monk from Xinhuai Palace, don’t meddle in our affairs. Go back to chanting your scriptures,” Lieyu and Elder Li said in unison.
The two short-tempered people were most annoyed by Xin Huai Gong's rambling.
Master Kongkong of Xinhuai Palace clasped his hands together, his compassionate expression showing no trace of anger.
“Fellow Daoist Lieyu, Fellow Daoist Li, Master Kongkong is only thinking of you, so please say less!” Abbess Yiyi of the Suxin Sect stood up and spoke a fair word.
If you don't give men face, you should at least consider women!
Lieyue and Elder Li snorted and reluctantly shut their mouths.
"Since there are no clues here, it's time to activate the Rewind Array."
Arguing was pointless, and the other three nodded in agreement with Master Yiyi's suggestion.
The group arrived at the largest square in Fengkang City, where the four elders of the four major sects stood facing the east, south, west, and north respectively, chanting incantations. Vast amounts of spiritual energy poured forth, surging powerfully into the ground beneath the square. After a moment, a massive recording stone slowly rose up.
A colossal recording stone has appeared, projecting an image into the void.
The four major righteous sects stared intently at the image for a long time before Ji Xiaoxiao appeared.
"Who is that person?" Lie Yu felt that Ji Xiaoxiao's face was somewhat familiar.
Elder Li examined her closely for a while, then exclaimed in astonishment, "So it was her."
Master Yi turned to Elder Li and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, may I ask who this person is?"
Elder Li chuckled lightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "This person is extremely famous; you must have heard of her. She is Shenyin, the young master of Yinhun Mountain."
"Kagura's daughter?" Lieyun exclaimed, "No wonder, no wonder."
Having participated in the great battle to hunt down Kagura, Lieyue could never forget Kagura's charm. Calm and composed, unhurried and collected, she killed without hesitation, possessing both extreme beauty and terror, extreme bloodlust and extreme allure.
Kagura is such a terrifying yet alluring woman!
They quietly continued watching, and then the woman in white appeared.
"Junior sister, it's her!" A male disciple from Fire Heaven Valley tugged at a female disciple's sleeve, eagerly reminding her.
The female disciple also spotted the white-clad woman in the image, her lifeless eyes flashing with a piercing light. "She's not dead, it's so good that she's not dead."
Before she could be happy for long, the female disciple fainted. Before she lost consciousness, the bloody scene of the white-clad woman having her head crushed by Ji Xiaoxiao's bare hands kept replaying in her mind.
"Ah... Junior sister, what's wrong? Is there a healer? My junior sister has fainted."
The noise behind him grew louder and louder, and Lie Yu shouted, "What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"
