Chapter 215 -213: Battle of the Divine Weapon Sect
The sky cleared with a whoosh above the sword-casting shop, visitors from the Divine Weapon Sect came swiftly, and left just as abruptly.
Within the White Feather Flowing Sound Array.
Ning Daoran’s brows furrowed deeply as he pondered continuously, knowing too well that the Devouring Soul Old Demon was always drawn to treasures and had never been one to miss an opportunity for gain.
Ever since the Righteous had uprooted the Soul Devouring Sect, the Devouring Soul Old Demon had been elusive, rarely showing himself, and although it was rumored he had gathered a group of Demon Cultivators, they had not made much of a stir.
This aggressive move against the Divine Weapon Sect was certainly not a sudden one. It was highly likely to have been planned over many years.
After all, Red Leaf Valley possessed a Fourth-tier Lower Grade Spirit Vein, which was more than enough to attract the Devouring Soul Old Demon’s covetous eye.
Moreover, with the Righteous Cultivators of Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World having suffered heavy losses in the border conflict, they were at their weakest—a perfect opportunity for the Devouring Soul Old Demon to seize Red Leaf Valley and reestablish his sect.
Currently in Qingzhou, if the Devouring Soul Old Demon, a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator, took possession of Red Leaf Valley and rebuilt the Soul Devouring Sect, there really was no sect capable of preventing this from happening.
Not the Chaotic Sect, not the Court, not even the Jiuyun Sect that spanned two provinces!
The Devouring Soul Old Demon had calculated everything to perfection, seizing the chance to strike precisely when the Divine Weapon Sect had all but emptied out in their assault on the sword-casting shop, catching them completely off guard.
…
However, if the Devouring Soul Old Demon were to take over Red Leaf Valley and rebuild the Soul Devouring Sect within Fanshu City’s domain, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the sword-casting shop, not to mention for the entire Righteous path of Qingzhou, and the Chaotic Sect as well!
Although Ning Daoran held a modicum of fear for the strength of the Devouring Soul Old Demon in his late-stage Golden Core prowess, he… would absolutely not sit by and watch the rise of the Demon Path in Qingzhou.
“Old Lu.”
He glanced backward and said, “The White Feather Flowing Sound Array is entrusted to you. Continue to guard the sword-casting shop and stay vigilant. I’m going to the Divine Weapon Sect to check on the situation there.”
“Awoo~~”
Big Stupid Deer grabbed hold of the array control Jade Talisman with his mouth.

Ning Daoran transformed into a streak of golden tunneling light and departed, adopting a new disguise as the Independent Practitioner Jianjia on his way out of Fanshu City. Since he was going to meet the Devouring Soul Old Demon and conflict was inevitable, he might as well “reunite” in the guise of an old friend!
In the mountains, snow flew everywhere.
Ning Daoran activated the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique, Invisibility Technique, Sound Absorption Technique, all melting into the swirling snow, and became thoroughly hidden between heaven and earth.
Upon his arrival at the Divine Weapon Sect, the Array outside the Mountain Gate had already been breached, and the Workshop at the gate lay in ruins. Countless buildings were razed by unstoppable mana, and the ground was littered with corpses.
The Devouring Soul Old Demon was indeed ruthless—a fact that hadn’t changed over the years.
Upon the mountain trail, bodies of Divine Weapon Sect Disciples were scattered, and the Sword Knocking Stone at the gate had been reduced to dust by a single palm strike, with its fragments flying in all directions, wounding innumerable Cultivators of the Sect.
“Am I too late?”
Ning Daoran frowned and swiftly ascended the mountain with a gust of Cold Wind.
Deep within Red Leaf Valley, in the heartland of the Divine Weapon Sect.
The once towering and majestic great hall was now flattened, leaving only ruins. Above the desolation, three Golden Core Cultivators were locked in battle.
The Devouring Soul Old Demon was fighting one against two, contending with brothers Mo Yunting and Mo Shaoting!
Mo Shaoting’s arm hung limply, apparently broken, and his entire body was soaked in blood. Yet, he still manipulated a Magical Treasure and several Spiritual Artifacts, entangling with the Devouring Soul Old Demon.
“Just a mere early-stage Golden Core…” sneered the Devouring Soul Old Demon in a blood-red robe, appearing aged but with daunting brilliance in his eyes. “To challenge this old man, you’re simply courting death!”
While speaking, the Devouring Soul Old Demon conjured up a Ghost-faced Jade Plate. With a surge of mana, a “hum” sounded and several Fierce Ghosts sprang forth, each with the strength of early-stage Golden Core Cultivators!
Similar to the once-encountered Green-clothed Lady, they were only slightly weaker in the early-stage Golden Core.
Yet, the technique of raising ghosts by the Devouring Soul Old Demon was clearly far superior to Ning Daoran’s, for after all, he was a professional.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered, and accompanied by the howling of ghosts, four Golden Core Ghosts pounced on Mo Shaoting, instantly suppressing him, and his body was once again marred by several horrific wounds.
“Shaoting!”
Mo Yunting turned pale with shock and bellowed, “Devouring Soul Old Ghost, long time no see. Your Ghost Control Plate has grown even more formidable, yet, after all, it’s still a despicable trick. Take this strike from the Sect Master!”
In the sky, clouds and thunder swirled, with flashes of lightning brightening the dark skies.
This was the Perfect Level Cloud Thunder True Technique!
Additionally, the golden hammer in Mo Yunting’s hand harnessed the power of the clouds and thunder. The hammer’s head, in a blink, grew massive. Thus, a terrifyingly large hammer head engulfed in thunderbolts fell from the sky, aimed straight at the Devouring Soul Old Demon’s face!
“Buzz—”
Amid the thunderous wind, the Devouring Soul Old Demon’s robe fluttered wildly, and under the immense force, his wrinkled face twisted crazily, as if it might peal off at any moment.
“What a Cloud Thunder True Technique!”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon recognized that the opponent wielded a third-tier Magical Treasure, a heavy weapon dubbed “Divine Weapon.” If it were to strike him head-on, even a late-stage Golden Core would have a difficult time.
In a split second, Demonic Qi surged around the Devouring Soul Old Demon, and with a push of both hands, blood-red giant arms emerged from rifts in space, brutally meeting the incoming hammer!
“Boom!!”
In the midst of the thunderous noise, the power of the clouds and thunder detonated continuously, and the Divine Weapon Level hammer, wrapped in lightning, was unexpectedly clenched tight by a blood-red giant arm, refusing to let go.
“Ah?!”
At a distance, several injured Foundation Establishment Elders from the Divine Weapon Sect were shocked: “This is bad! The Soul Devouring Demon Technique of the Devouring Soul Old Demon seems to have… reached the Transformation Realm… Sect Master’s Cloud Thunder True Technique simply can’t compete!”
“Mo Yunting!”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon’s face was cruel and triumphant as he sneered: “You Divine Weapon Sect have squatted on the treasure land of Red Leaf Valley for a thousand years, and it’s time you moved aside. What right does a mere mid-stage Golden Core Sect have to occupy a fourth-tier Spiritual Vein?
“I give you a choice, leave immediately with your Disciples, and leave Red Leaf Valley for my Nascent Soul making. Perhaps I can consider sparing your lives. How about it?”
“In your dreams!”
How could Mo Yunting give up Red Leaf Valley? Countless generations of ancestors from the Divine Weapon Sect had fought and bled to secure this fourth-tier Spirit Vein. If he were to lose it on his watch, how would he face his forebears?
“Unless I, Mo Yunting, am dead, I will never give up Red Leaf Valley!”
“Well then, go to your death.”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon’s demeanor remained calm. The next second, a blood-red Treasure Bell appeared from nowhere, and before anyone could react, it rapidly enlarged to envelop Mo Yunting within!
“Dong~~~”
From within the Treasure Bell, came the sound of the hammer striking against the bell walls.
“Sect Master!”
A group of Divine Weapon Sect Disciples were filled with shock and rage.
“Hmm?”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon chuckled coldly, and immediately, a group of Devouring Soul Sect disciples confronted the Divine Weapon Sect Disciples.
“Brother!”
Mo Shaoting, entangled by the Golden Core Ghosts and drained of his essence blood, was even more horrified.
The fact that the Devouring Soul Old Demon had a Treasure-level Soul-locking Bell was well-known throughout the Qingzhou Cultivation World, but no one knew the Soul-locking Bell had been cultivated to such a degree that it could trap a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator!
“Rest easy as nutrients for the Soul-locking Bell!”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon laughed maniacally, and with a spread of his arms, two more blood-red giant arms emerged from the void, firmly grasping the sides of the Soul-locking Bell, fixating the bell in place, and ceaselessly channeling the vast mana of the Soul Devouring Demon Technique!
Who could have imagined that after cultivating the Soul Devouring Demon Technique to the Transformation Realm, combined with the Soul-locking Bell, the Devouring Soul Old Demon could possess such heaven-defying skills!
“Dammit…”
From within the Soul-locking Bell came Mo Yunting’s furious howl.
Although he repeatedly hammered at the Soul-locking Bell with his Divine Weapon Level Warhammer, he was now confined by the Soul-locking Bell, isolated from the world; the mana he could muster was severely reduced. How could he hope to affect a Treasure-level bell?
This Soul-locking Bell truly signaled the end for Mo Yunting.
In the distance, Ning Daoran remained motionless amidst the wind and snow.
He did not intend to save Mo Yunting. Ning Daoran simply did not care about the life or death of Mo Yunting. Moreover, the scene of Mo Yunting leading his disciples in the siege of the sword-casting shop was still fresh in his mind. Ning Daoran was no fool; he knew the difference between friend and foe.
“Brother~~~~”
Mo Shaoting’s eyes bulged with blood, desperately wanting to rescue him, but he was powerless to do so.
Now, he sensed that the life force of Mo Yunting was rapidly fading away.
“Buzz buzz buzz~~”
The Soul-locking Bell trembled incessantly, its surface patterns swiftly infused with blood Qi, and the bell seemed to emit a hint of pleasure as if it greatly enjoyed the essence of a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator!
In a moment, the presence of Mo Yunting vanished.
“Rise!”
With a powerful gesture from the Devouring Soul Old Demon, the Soul-locking Bell rose into the air, leaving behind the dessicated corpse of a man dressed in the Sect Master robes of the Divine Weapon Sect.
Mo Yunting was completely drained of his essence Qi, reduced to a mere husk.
A famous mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator and Divine Craftsman, well-known throughout a whole province, met such a fate, stirring profound sentiment.
“Sect Master!”
A group of Divine Weapon Sect Disciples expressed their grief and indignation.
“Hahaha~~~”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon cradled the Soul-locking Bell, feeling its increased power after the soul refining and essence blood refining, and couldn’t help feeling elated. His bloodshot eyes turned to Mo Shaoting and said, “Now, it’s your turn…
“To think, your Divine Weapon Sect is truly disappointing. Such a large sect, but only you two to guard it. Tsk, tsk, such strength is unworthy of possessing Red Leaf Valley. You should’ve known to vacate the place earlier; truly ignorant of your own mortality!”
“Devouring Soul Old Demon…”
Mo Shaoting’s eyes bled, “You old bastard, you beast, how could our Human Clan’s Immortal Cultivation World have given birth to a beast like you…”
“Oh?”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon displayed contempt, “Is this your first day in the Cultivation World?”
…
However, just at this moment, suddenly, a strong surge of Array power erupted from deep within the earth, and an Array soared into existence! Following that, a figure emerged behind the Devouring Soul Old Demon, ruthlessly smashing a lance down onto the back of his head!
“This is bad…”
The Devouring Soul Old Demon felt a chill, “Another expert?”
