Chapter 1408: Nothing but a Tool
The battle between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect also unfolded on Dragon Fall Island, with the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance caught completely off guard and being killed on the spot one by one.
Moreover, when dealing with the Demon Clan before, the cultivators of the Demon Sect usually hid in the back, letting the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance fight at the forefront.
After all, the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance still harbored a sense of justice, and by joining forces with the Demon Sect, they had no suspicion and now finally understand the consequences.
Perhaps in the future, if anyone dares to mention joining forces with the Demon Sect to them, they would dare to explode in anger on the spot.
"Zhao Qingxuan, I told you if you show a weakness, I will personally take you down."
Blood Ash suddenly blocked Zhao Qingxuan’s way, with a bloodthirsty look.
"Hmph, you’re not worthy!"
Zhao Qingxuan wasted no words, directly summoning the longsword in his hand, the chill rapidly spreading out, even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
On the other side, Hua Nongying and Fan Wusheng also began their battle.
Fan Wusheng waved the black banner in his hand, and the demons and ghosts on the banner seemed to come alive in an instant. A surge of black mist gushed out, within which monsters with gnashing teeth flew out, dragging long black smoke behind them.
Hua Nongying narrowed her eyes slightly, memories of Chen Nan’s fearless self-destruction flashed through her mind.
At first, she didn’t understand why Chen Nan did this, indeed by hiding in the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, he could at least preserve his life.
But now she finally understood, from the moment Master Canglan revealed he was a Yin Yang Spirit Body, he couldn’t survive.
As long as Chen Nan lived, countless troubles would befall those associated with him, even the Witch Tu Susu would not be spared.
So he could only die to ensure the safety of those still living.
"Alas, I even wanted to get to know him, such a pity."
The black mist surged, hideous monsters appeared. Hua Nongying sighed, and suddenly countless petals fell around, like sharp blades slicing the monsters apart!
In the sky, Jiang Wuyue, beset by an ambush from Master Canglan while dealing with Ao Hao, was severely injured, unable to withstand Tu Wanshan’s attack, on the verge of losing his life to Tu Wanshan.
"Leave him to me, I need to avenge my disciple!"
At this moment, Master Canglan flew over, his eyes flickering with hatred and his face twisted with rage.
The person he hated most was Chen Nan, but now that Chen Nan was no more, all his hatred transferred to Jiang Wuyue.
If not for Jiang Wuyue’s bias toward Chen Nan, how could his disciples have thrown caution to the wind and perished?
So, it’s all Jiang Wuyue’s fault!
Tu Wanshan readily agreed, handing the battlefield over to Master Canglan, while he went to deal with other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
"Jiang Wuyue, you never thought it would come to this, did you?" Master Canglan’s face twisted in hatred, entirely consumed with anger.
Blood still dripped from Jiang Wuyue, who panted heavily as he looked at Canglan, his heart filled with pain, never imagining the Righteous Alliance would meet such an end.
"Canglan, the Demon Sect won’t accept you, come back now, and I can ensure your safety!"
Master Canglan sneered, "Jiang Wuyue, spare your pretense. I’ve seen through you. Don’t worry; I’ll send your disciples and descendants to accompany you."
"I also want you to taste the pain of losing your loved ones!"
Jiang Wuyue knew Master Canglan could never turn back. He glanced at the besieged cultivators of the Righteous Alliance, exhaustion sweeping over.
Never had he been so tired, completely led by the nose, played between palms.
"Canglan, someday you’ll regret this!"
As his words fell, Jiang Wuyue suddenly threw out the treasure tower in his hand, blazing with golden light, then exploded with a bang.
The astonishing power sank half of Dragon Fall Island!
Though Master Canglan invoked several spiritual artifacts for defense at the moment of the tower’s explosion, all were instantly destroyed, and he was gravely injured, half his body blown away.
One should know the treasure tower Jiang Wuyue held was a fifth-grade spiritual artifact. Such a level was scarce even on the Endless Sea, so one could imagine the explosive power.
And seizing this opportunity, Jiang Wuyue swiftly escaped Dragon Fall Island with Hua Nongying, Zhao Qingxuan, and several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators using secret techniques.
The remaining cultivators of the Righteous Alliance were filled with despair, abandoned by their Hierarch, awaiting only death.
Unexpectedly, Tu Wanshan ordered everyone to stop.
"Your Hierarch left you to die, taking with him only those he valued, is such a person worth your allegiance?"
"Now, I give you a chance to live; if you can kill a former comrade, I’ll allow you to join the Demon Sect!"
Upon hearing Tu Wanshan’s words, the remaining cultivators of the Righteous Alliance froze momentarily, then set their sights on their former companions. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
To survive, they displayed the ugliness of human nature.
Finally, half of the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance were gone, and of those who remained, there wasn’t a shred of guilt in their faces. What filled them was the relief of having narrowly escaped death and the fortune of continued survival.
"See, human nature is the easiest to manipulate."
Tu Wanshan chuckled coldly, slowly approaching the gravely injured Master Canglan.
"Sect Leader, it was my incompetence that allowed Jiang Wuyue to escape, but I swear I won’t let him get away!" Master Canglan hurriedly pledged loyalty.
Though lacking half a body, he, as a ninth-layer Nascent Soul Realm strongman, would recover in no time.
And even in the Demon Sect, his strength would earn him significant respect, perhaps even better treatment than in the Righteous Alliance.
Yet he never imagined Tu Wanshan would grab him by the throat, lifting him fiercely, the immense mana turning into ropes binding his form.
Even the mana within him was thoroughly suppressed.
Had he not been injured, he might have survived Tu Wanshan’s grasp, but now, in his severely weakened state, he had no strength to resist.
"Sect Leader, what are you doing?" he cried out in fright.
Tu Wanshan’s smile was icy, "Doing what? For someone as ungrateful as you, even the Demon Sect dares not accept you, merely using you, did you think it was genuine?"
"What?" Master Canglan’s eyes widened, never expecting such a response.
Backstabbing Jiang Wuyue, personally wounding him severely, he believed he was avenging his disciples, only to find out now he was nothing but a laughingstock.
Tu Wanshan never intended to accept him, just using him.
"Hehe, hahahaha!"
Master Canglan laughed bitterly, feeling like he had become the greatest joke.
