Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 176 - 167: Annihilation of the Sect [Vote for Monthly Pass!]

Lu Qingfeng had not utilized the technique before advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It was only after he had solidified his cultivation and greatly increased his power following the Foundation Establishment Thunder Tribulation that he came to Chi Yun Peak. Even then, deploying this method placed an enormous strain on him.

Despite only linking with the earth energy of Chi Yun Peak and 'flipping' its divinity, leaving the mountain itself unmoved and reducing the difficulty tenfold, it was still somewhat forced.

Having just sacrificed the Ju Mang Demon God to destruction, it would take more than a month to visualize and refine again, not to mention the backlash suffered by the flesh forged by the Yellow Robe True Skill. Even with the aid of Elixir Pills, it would take several months to recover.

After all, it was a Demon Dao Method.

However, while Lu Qingfeng suffered severe injuries, the circumstances on Chi Yun Peak were even more tragic.

An entire mountain overturned, the earth energy and Spirit Veins reversed and chaotic, no longer worthy of the name Spiritual Mountain, unsuitable for central cultivation. Recovery would take at least a century's effort.

The cultivators on standby at the Red Rainbow Sect, including the sect leader at the Spirit Void Stage, Yang Bufan, were either dead or injured.

After this battle, just relying on the nine remaining Foundation Establishment Elders and the hundreds of disciples and deacons outside, it was simply impossible to maintain the existence of Red Rainbow Sect. Not to mention that the mountain gate was overturned, without a place to settle is like a rootless duckweed.

One could foresee.

The Red Rainbow Sect was doomed to disperse like monkeys and no longer exist.

Lu Qingfeng rushed towards the Hidden Treasure Hall, while Zhu Rong Demon God emerged from his body and went to the back mountain.

Chi Yun Peak.

Back mountain.

Yang Bufan's body was crushed and broken, but his life force was cycling, continuously recovering.

Spirit Void Stage cultivators, having passed through the Fourth Realm of Foundation Establishment, have profound foundations. After Body Refining, their physical bodies in terms of recovery and strength, far surpass those of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

At this moment, even though Yang Bufan's body was suppressed by the Spirit Mountain and severely injured, his roots were not damaged.

The only problem was that the True Yuan inside his body was running rampant and temporarily uncontrollable.

Injury treatment was thus impossible.

Lying on the ground, Yang Bufan was both afraid and suspicious—

"Who in the world is powerful enough to overturn the earth energy and Spirit Veins of Chi Yun Peak, and why target Red Rainbow Sect?"

Yang Bufan couldn't figure it out.

Such means to overturn a Spirit Mountain, how could it appear in the small Juyun Mountain Range?

Even Xuanyuan Sect to the east likely did not possess such Divine Skills. Such a powerful individual, using such methods against a mere Red Rainbow Sect?

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

"Could it be some elder or disciple has provoked a powerful enemy outside?"

While treating his wounds, Yang Bufan pondered.

At the same time, he remained vigilant of his surroundings.

At this moment.

A streak of flame seemed to approach.

Yang Bufan struggled to lift his head and saw a blazing flame tearing through the sky, its form shifting in midair—

A beast-headed humanoid, clad in red scales, with Fire Snakes for ears and treading upon a Fire Dragon!

It was indeed a Demon God from the Demon Dao!

"Demon Dao!"

"It's actually someone from the Demon Dao!"

Despair showed in Yang Bufan's eyes. At this moment, he was gravely wounded, with no power to resist. If this demon made a move, there would be no hope of survival.

Yang Bufan's mind raced, driven by the will to live. Unable to speak due to a shattered Adam's apple, he could only control the last bits of True Yuan to send out a trembling voice, "I am the Sect Leader of Red Rainbow Sect, Yang Bufan, I do not know why your honor—"

Alas.

Zhu Rong Demon God, following the orders of Lu Qingfeng, came specifically for Yang Bufan's life, and had no intention of conversing with him.

Before Yang Bufan could finish speaking, Zhu Rong Demon God pressed down with both hands, unleashing Zhu Rong Divine Flame that instantly enveloped Yang Bufan's entire body.

"Ah!"

"No!"

The Zhu Rong Divine Flame scorched both flesh and soul, a pain wrenching at the heart. Yang Bufan was stricken with fear and agony, letting out a ghastly cry. But with his throat shattered, it ultimately became a series of inarticulate murmurs.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The Zhu Rong Demon God, having ascended to Foundation Establishment along with Lu Qingfeng, was even stronger. Handling a normal Spirit Void Practitioner might still be beyond its power, but dealing with a Spirit Void Practitioner who had already sustained heavy injuries and lost the ability to resist was exceedingly easy.

In just a moment.

Under the engulfment of flames, the struggles and roars ceased. Zhu Rong Demon God opened his mouth to swallow the Zhu Rong Divine Flame, revealing that Yang Bufan has already been reduced to ashes and scattered.

Only a storage bag was intentionally preserved by Zhu Rong Demon God and fell to the ground.

Grabbing the storage bag, Zhu Rong Demon God moved beneath his feet and transformed into a ball of flame again, heading towards the mountains ahead.

As for Yang Bufan—

The esteemed Sect Leader of the Red Rainbow Sect, a Spirit Void Stage Cultivator, one of the top cultivators of the Juyun Mountain Range!

He has perished just like that!

Poor Yang Bufan didn't even realize that this encounter was due to the malicious thoughts he harbored towards Lu Qingfeng that day at Wind Roar Cliff.

How could he have imagined that 'Dan and Artifact Double Extreme' Master Lu had the capability to annihilate the Red Rainbow Sect.

He never considered Lu Qingfeng at all.

And Lu Qingfeng, he never had the habit of conversing with soon-to-be dead men.

While he was severely injured, Lu Qingfeng decisively killed him to prevent any future troubles. A Spirit Void Stage Cultivator, who knows if he has any powerful moves left?

Killing him was straightforward.

And the safest.

...

An unnamed low hill.

Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling, quietly resting and recuperating. Once his injuries stabilized a bit, he opened his eyes.

"The overturning of Chi Yun Peak, the destruction of the Red Rainbow Sect."

"Next are Demon Extermination Castle and the Golden Wave Sect."

"My injuries have not yet fully recovered, forcibly using the Nine Heavens Talisman Inverting Heaven and Earth Technique may damage my foundation, there's no need."

The Nine Heavens Talisman Inverting Heaven and Earth Technique is powerful, but the backlash is severe.

Although Chi Yun Peak is not considered a Spiritual Mountain, let alone an Immortal Mountain, it is still more than a thousand zhang high; it is the foundational establishment of the Red Rainbow Sect. To overturn this mountain, Lu Qingfeng needs to recuperate for half a year.

He cannot afford to act recklessly for now.

"However, the change in the Red Rainbow Sect will surely make the Golden Wave Sect and Demon Extermination Castle alert; rushing there now, I'm bound to fall into their traps."

A smile crept on Lu Qingfeng's lips, "It would be better to let the two sects be suspicious and in fear for some time, then slowly concoct plans!"

The Red Rainbow Sect had once sought his life in the Hundred Herbs Garden, and a grudge was already formed.

Demon Extermination Castle's recent venture to Silver Horn Mountain with malicious intentions, Lu Qingfeng would not let them off either.

As for the Golden Wave Sect.

Being the enemy of the Luoxia Sect and with Lu Qingfeng as the Guest Elder of the Luoxia Sect, he naturally would not hesitate to take action if he has the opportunity.

Once the three sects crumble, the Luoxia Sect will hold unrivaled power.

Backed by the Luoxia Sect, Lu Qingfeng will encounter far fewer troubles.

His thinking is very simple; he just wishes to cultivate peacefully in the Juyun Mountain Range. After seventy or eighty years, once he reaches the Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering Realm and the resources of the Juyun Mountain Range are insufficient for his rapid cultivation progression, only then will he leave.

During these seventy or eighty years, the more tranquil, the better.

To secure tranquility for the future, it's fine to undergo some hardships now.

Lu Qingfeng remained hidden deep in the mountains, recuperating, cultivating, laying dormant.

The entire Juyun Mountain Range, however, was in an uproar!

...

Atop Lingyun Peak.

The hunched-over Lord of Demon Extermination Castle, Feng Yun, had a face full of wrinkles, and now his brows were deeply furrowed, "The Red Rainbow Sect... the Red Rainbow Sect unexpectedly..."

Even the usually calm and ruthless Feng Yun was somewhat lost and helpless at this moment.

"Half of the Red Rainbow Sect's cultivators are dead, their manner of death horrific. The other half are crippled, their Dantian and All Body Acupoints exploded, their bones shattered."

"The whereabouts of Sect Master Yang Bufan are unknown, suspected of having perished."

"The earth's energy on Chi Yun Peak is raging, the earth veins and Spirit Veins in chaos. Cultivators venturing within have to exert all their strength to suppress their internal True Qi and True Yuan from going berserk."

"It has become a place where cultivation is utterly impossible!"
