Massacring Haoran Academy?
Who in the entire Cultivation Realm would dare to make such a statement? Even the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race probably wouldn't declare, in front of so many people, that he would massacre the entirety of Haoran Academy.
But now, someone had said it!
Xu Nian of the Profound Yellow Sect!
His expression was as undisturbed as an ancient well, as if he was discussing a matter too trivial to mention, yet to outsiders, this matter was monumentally significant.
What kind of power was Haoran Academy?
It was a top force in the Central Domain. It housed two cultivators of the Tribulation Realm and hundreds of Great Confucian Scholars in the Mahayana and Integration Realms. For many years, Haoran Academy's status in the Cultivation Realm had not been provoked.
But now, a power from the Northern Wilderness not only intended to destroy the Feixian Sect but also planned to slaughter the entire Haoran Academy. For the people of the Central Domain, this was undoubtedly a provocation. The Profound Yellow Sect wasn't just slapping Haoran Academy's face; they were slapping the faces of all cultivators in the Central Domain.
The face of this Great Confucian Scholar from Haoran Academy had already turned terrifyingly grim. If they didn't mete out punishment, Haoran Academy's reputation would inevitably become a laughingstock. But… was he a match for the young man before him?
The Tribulation Realm was indeed strong in the eyes of others, but it seemed insignificant before the Profound Yellow Sect. Hadn't the Profound Yellow Sect killed cultivators of the Tribulation Realm before? Wasn't the Fishman King of the Sea Race the best example? Even the Ghost Shark King had been thoroughly subdued.
Although Haoran Academy was strong, compared to super-races like the Sea Race and Demon Race, it didn't seem all that impressive. The Sea Race and Demon Race didn't attack Haoran Academy because of its unique position in the Central Domain—the strongest gathering place of the Human Race. If the Sea Race or Demon Race moved against Haoran Academy, they would draw the ire of the entire Human Race in the Central Domain. The loss would far outweigh the gain.
Watching Xu Nian exude such overbearing confidence, many from the Human Race furrowed their brows. With so many other races present, for him to so blatantly disrespect Haoran Academy... Did the Profound Yellow Sect even have any regard for the Human Race?
"Hehe, didn't I tell you? The Human Race only knows internal strife."
"We should stay out of it. Haven't you seen the Sea Race already laughing? I think they'd love to see a civil war among the Human Race."
"If the Profound Yellow Sect really destroys Haoran Academy, that would be a great disaster for the Human Race! They will suffer grievous losses!"
"It would also be good if the Profound Yellow Sect were wiped out. Then the Sea Race could take over the Northern Wilderness, and the Demon Race could occupy the Southern Continent without any resistance. Right? Would these humans from the Central Domain really go to help?"
"..."
People from the Major Races all smirked, clearly reveling in the unfolding spectacle. They were practically hoping for the Profound Yellow Sect and Haoran Academy to start fighting. The best outcome for them would be if both sides suffered heavy losses! That would be a true boon for all the other races.
Just then, a terrifying sound of thunder echoed, effectively interrupting the tense standoff between Xu Nian and the Great Confucian Scholar. Above the Celestial Dome, thunder cracked in the clear sky, and streaks of purple lightning continuously appeared.
What was happening? How could there be thunder in broad daylight? Could this be Celestial Punishment?!
The Great Confucian Scholar's expression changed, and he burst into loud laughter, "Hahaha, the Profound Yellow Sect has committed heinous crimes, and now the Heavenly Way intends to bring down thunderous punishment!"
Many nearby people turned their heads upon hearing this, their brows tightly knitted. Could it be that the Heavenly Way truly sought to punish the Profound Yellow Sect? This thunderous punishment was too odd.
A Mahayana Realm cultivator suddenly exclaimed, "Wait, look where the lightning is striking! That seems to be the location of the Feixian Sect!"
The Elders and Disciples of the Feixian Sect, who had been brought here, also looked over, their expressions turning incredibly ugly. Visibly thick Thunderbolts struck down, instantly engulfing the entire Feixian Sect in a maelstrom of lightning.
The purple lightning fully illuminated the Feixian Sect, causing everyone's expressions to turn strange. Wasn't the punishment supposed to be for the Profound Yellow Sect? Why did it strike over there?
Xu Nian let out a cold laugh, his smile growing even more radiant. How could he not understand what was happening? Old Mo's Talent was Beauty Brings Misfortune. Any contact with a Woman would trigger Celestial Punishment, and this Celestial Punishment was specifically aimed at that Woman. It looked like Old Mo and his companions had already reached the Feixian Sect and had chosen to use his Talent immediately!
「Inside Feixian Sect.」
Old Mo held a Female Disciple from the Feixian Sect in his arms. Amidst her terrified expression, he carried her, leaping and dodging the rapidly falling Thunderbolts.
From a distance, Dung Beetle and the others watched, stunned.
"To be honest, even though I've seen this kind of scene several times, I'm still shocked every single time."
"I say, Wanwan, he's running around holding an NPC. Aren't you jealous?"
"Why should I be jealous? He's not holding a female player, just an NPC. Do I really seem that petty in your eyes?"
"Tsk tsk, I really feel for you, Wanwan. To think you have to wear thin film gloves just to hold hands with Old Mo... I genuinely worry about your future together."
"Dung Beetle, if you can't speak properly, then just shut up! Do we absolutely have to make physical contact in the game? Can't I just go to Demon City to find him in person?"
"Alright, alright, you're clearly impatient, aren't you? To think there are still naive women who throw themselves at him like that!"
"..."
It seemed Dung Beetle and the others wouldn't need to intervene after all. Old Mo's ability to summon Celestial Punishment was too powerful—even more formidable than a Biological Weapon.
