How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 276: A Bottle of Soft Silk, Stabilizing Xiaoyao Peak

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: A Bottle of Soft Silk, Stabilizing Xiaoyao Peak

"Great Elder, the Palace Master, he..." The Second Elder’s voice was like a sob, hoarse as a bellows...

The Great Elder abruptly raised his head: "The Palace Master has been assassinated. The crisis in Xiaoyao Palace is unprecedented, all those above the Observing Realm, prepare for battle! Kill the enemy..."

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill..." Thousands of voices roared in unison, shaking the earth and piercing the heavens.

With a swoosh, the clouds in the sky seemed to scatter instantly.

A figure of a thousand feet appeared out of nowhere.

This was the True Essence Transformation of Lu Sanqian.

The True Essence Transformation of the Enlightenment Realm does not mean his true body expands to a thousand feet but rather his True Yuan extends externally to a thousand feet.

The thousand-foot Dharma Body descended in one step, passing through the Array and landing on Xiaoyao Peak.

This array sealed from the inside, providing no obstruction to those outside.

Lu Sanqian fell into Xiaoyao Peak.

Eight silhouettes rose simultaneously.

It was the eight great heaven gazing personally led by the Great Elder.

The entire Xiaoyao Palace had only these eight great heaven gazing.

The joint strike of the eight great heaven gazing was earth-shattering, causing winds and clouds to surge through the entire Xiaoyao Palace.

However, Lu Sanqian stretched out his hand, palm sweeping the air.

Boom!

The eight great heaven gazing flew out together!

Slash!

A strip of Sword Qi sharper than anything cut across the sky.

The Great Elder’s eyes widened abruptly, his lower body vanished.

The other seven great heaven gazing rolling through the air were torn apart, one by one, as though caught in a raging torrent...

"Separation! Li Ren Tears... so this is how it’s used..." The Great Elder muttered.

Thud!

He fell off the cliff...

In just a moment, all eight great heaven gazing were cleared out!

Swoosh!

Three figures crossed the Array, entering Xiaoyao Palace. The foremost person, moving like the wind, arrived mid-mountain in an instant, sword in hand, with unstoppable sharpness, performing the first move of the Li Ren Sword Dao, "Separation"!

One sword cut down three people.

Beside him, a figure flickered, and a woman, as beautiful as a flower, appeared. With a red thread in her palm, she flicked it across the air, and two heads flew off.

Lu Rufeng and Lu Rusi, the brother and sister.

With a loud boom, a heavy sword was swung from behind them, landing on the gate tower of Xiaoyao Palace, shattering it to pieces and causing it to collapse.

It was the old man from the Rousi Courtyard.

The three of them, moving from bottom to top, carved a bloody path through the panicked and confused disciples of Xiaoyao Palace, straight up to the peak.

At the peak, a gigantic True Yuan hand descended from the sky, obliterating Xiaoyao Hall, the main hall of Xiaoyao Palace, completely!

Lu Sanqian strolled leisurely at the peak. With each step, another hall was destroyed, and anyone who emerged, with a flick of his finger, a streak of Sword Qi would kill them instantly.

By the time the Lu siblings and the old man officially reached the peak, it had been nearly cleared out.

If Lin Xiaosu’s design of this scheme had any deviation,

it was perhaps here.

Lu Sanqian did not stop after reducing Dongfang Lie and the eight great heaven gazing; once his killing intent rose, he did not limit it to the top level, nor did he object to slaughtering multiple layers...

Even if a dog of Xiaoyao Palace caught his eyes, it would likely get smacked...

"Palace Master!" Suddenly, a group of people rushed over from the left side, kneeling with a thud before Lu Sanqian.

Lu Sanqian gently raised his finger, a murderous glint flashing on its tip.

"Palace Master, we are former members of the Li Palace! We were genuinely forced to do so back in the day. We have been looking forward to the Palace Master’s return day and night, Palace Master, you are finally here..."

Countless shouts, countless pleas, and sobs...

Lu Sanqian coldly spoke: "You are all former members of the Li Palace?"

"Yes, Palace Master, we all are!"

"Palace Master, in those days, it was our pig-headed forebears who followed Xiaoyao Palace. We were too young then to understand. After growing up, we often confronted our forebears over this, but now most of them are deceased. As their children, we dare not speak ill of our fathers’ mistakes, only hoping the Palace Master will grant us a chance to atone for our sins..."

There was a slight disturbance in the killing intent in Lu Sanqian’s eyes... frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

If it were the same batch of traitors from back then, he wouldn’t spare a single one.

However, a hundred years is a long time.

Most of those traitors are already dead; these children were not even adults when the Li Palace split, with no capacity for independent judgment. Do they really deserve to die?

The people of Li Palace, not many are left...

"Father!" A voice came from his side: "How about leaving it to your daughter to handle?"

The voice was like flowing water, indeed his daughter, Lu Rusi.

Lu Rusi, though a woman, possessed remarkable wisdom, and Lu Sanqian still valued her words quite a bit.

"Very well, the follow-up matters, leave them to you!" Lu Sanqian said.

Lu Rusi bowed to her father and stepped forward...

"Former members of the Li Palace, having split from the Li Palace for a hundred years and become traitorous to the cause, your original identities have no meaning! Hence, do not speak of your old identities."

Upon hearing her words, the faces of the hundreds below turned ashen, filled with hopeless despair.

Lu Rusi’s second sentence followed: "Everyone, loyalty is in the present moment! Those willing to pledge allegiance to Li Palace, crawl on your knees and consume these ’Soft Silk’ pills. Any Cultivator who has not taken ’Soft Silk’ within two hours will be executed without mercy!"

She stretched out her hand, a leather pouch appearing in her palm.

Inside were over a thousand green pills.

Lu Sanqian and Lu Rufeng exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously...

All these years, the sister had collected countless prescription formulas, immersing herself in the study of poisons. Although they had never quite approved, feeling that poisons had limited utility for high-end Cultivators or their grand revenge plans, today, faced with this non-Cultivator crowd, even Lu Sanqian found the situation tough to handle.

With her secret poison "Soft Silk," the girl made it simple and efficient.

In no time, almost all Cultivators in Xiaoyao Palace subordinate troops were incorporated into the Li Palace’s ranks.

The Li Palace’s Cultivators, starting with less than three hundred, swelled to over two thousand in an instant.

These over two thousand were all Cultivators.

Behind the Cultivators were their families.

Having subdued the Cultivators, their families also followed suit.

So, there was no need for a large-scale purge.

Li Palace had overcome its manpower shortage...

A win-win situation indeed.

This scene at Xiaoyao Peak was visible even in Chishui City.

The entire city was in tremendous chaos.

All other Xiaoyao Palace operations, every Cultivator there fell into despair, their faces ashen, paralyzed in shock.

A moment later, who knows where it started, someone made the first move to flee!

As the panic spread, all stationed Cultivators began to flee!

They successfully escaped Chishui City, heading into eastern and western mountain paths...

However, upon entering the forest, a cold voice came from above the trees: "Trying to escape?"

Slash!

Sword light flashed...

In a swift massacre, not a single fleeing soul of Xiaoyao Palace’s Chishui City members escaped.

Because today’s grand battle of the Li Palace, uniquely bizarre in history, mobilized absolute elites. Besides these top-notch experts, a massive number of Observing Earth Realm handled the peripheral cleansing tasks.

The Observing Earth Realm, mid-tier in the Cultivation Path, might not handle assaulting Xiaoyao Peak well.

But for dealing with those non-combatant Xiaoyao Palace members in Chishui City, they were more than adequate.

In the city, the sound of slaughter ceased.

Outside the city, the sound of slaughter ceased.

Lin Xiaosu slowly withdrew his gaze.

Feng Ji beside him also withdrew her gaze from Xiaoyao Peak.

Though still far, it seemed both could see the scene atop the main peak of Xiaoyao clearly.

Feng Ji lifted her tea cup, the cup hiding her face.

A slight blush adorned her face.

After a single sweep of her sword through the Xiaoyao Tower, killing Tower Master Qiu Xinsui, she had not struck again.

The two of them watched a battle of two Enlightenment Realm experts from the tower roof before their figures flickered and left Xiaoyao Tower, vanishing from sight.

When they appeared again, Feng Ji’s mask had disappeared.

As they walked side by side into another tavern, no one could link them to the Demon-faced Witch.

They ascended to the top floor, ordered a cup of tea, and quietly admired their masterpiece.

"Junior Brother, yesterday at this time, I thought you were insane, but today, the century-long plan of the Li Palace is accomplished!" Feng Ji’s voice came, sounding like a sigh or a whisper.

"And then?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"What do you mean and then?"

Lin Xiaosu said: "At this point, you should have a concluding sentence, something like: Junior Brother, you truly are a genius... Where’s my praise?"

Feng Ji’s eyes swept over his face for a long, long time: "Junior Brother, I admit you are a genius, but asking for praise on your own, that genius part seems a bit..."

Suddenly, voices came from the next room: "What do you think about today’s events, old man?"

The voice was loud and excited, from two people who had just entered the room, beginning their discussion.

The moment they started, Feng Ji’s voice halted abruptly.

An elderly voice said: "Extraordinary!"

Two words, extraordinary!

"Indeed, who could deny it? In Kun Cang, no Enlightenment Realm has been killed in a century, but today, a precedent was set. A revered Enlightenment Realm, gone just like that. The entire Kun Cang will be thrown into turmoil."

The elderly man said: "A hundred years ago, the last Enlightenment Realm head to be killed was the former Palace Master of the Li Palace. Today, fittingly, the new Li Palace Master avenged that death. It’s karmic, but more importantly... how did Lu Sanqian demote Dongfang Lie?"

"Formation! I found out it was a formation! This formation can seal, but the Enlightenment Realm can break it — breaking the formation drops their realm, this is Lu Sanqian’s extreme strategy tailored for Dongfang Lie!"

"Formation..." The elder’s voice quivered slightly: "Did the Yin Yang Temple Master intervene?"

"Whether true or not, the winds of change will storm Kun Cang!" The middle-aged man said: "Old man, we should return to our sect immediately..."

"Let’s go!"

With a swoosh, the door swung open, and the two left the room.

"Sirs, your food and drink..." The server’s voice came.

"Cancel!"

With a zip, something landed with a thud; it was the sound of a small bag being thrown.

The two exited, leaving their meal untouched, yet still paid.

Feng Ji slowly lifted her gaze: "See? Your move has sent shockwaves through Kun Cang! Though you said your third purpose was to establish dominance, I think there’s still time to change your strategy!"
