Chapter 70 If only all villains were like this.
The people from the six major sects headed towards Bright Peak in a grand procession.
The disciples from each sect were eager to fight, their faces filled with excitement and killing intent, as if they could already see the demonic cultists being slain and the wealth of Bright Peak being theirs.
Many people privately discussed how much spoils they would receive after the war, and how many would make a name for themselves through the war.
Strangely, from the foot of the mountain all the way up to the thousand-step stone staircase leading directly to the summit, the six major sects encountered no significant resistance whatsoever.
There were no ambushes, no traps, and not even a single Ming Cult member on lookout duty.
It can be said that they arrived at this place without lifting a finger.
Master Jingxuan snorted coldly, her voice particularly jarring in the silent valley.
"Could it be that someone has already leaked the news, and the Demonic Sect's forces have already fled?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept meaningfully toward the Wudang Sect, her suspicion and hostility undisguised.
Song Yuanqiao remained calm, not even lifting his eyelids.
Master Kongwen remained silent, his prayer beads slowly turning as he surveyed the Bright Summit headquarters shrouded in mist high above, his brows slightly furrowed.
Kunlun Sect Leader He Taichong stepped forward and said.
"My vanguard disciples have already scouted the surrounding area and found no signs of a large-scale withdrawal by the Demonic Sect."
Everyone turned their attention to Master Kongwen, awaiting his decision.
Master Kongwen finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"Now that we've come this far, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, we must explore it."
Elder Tian of the Huashan Sect looked left and right, then muttered a complaint to Elder Zou.
"Master Yuanzhen disappeared yesterday. Do you think this guy could be an inside man?"
Elder Zou looked completely bewildered.
"Yeah, yeah... wait, senior brother, what do you mean by that?"
Elder Tian rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain any further.
......
Yuanzhen, or rather Chengkun, was indeed not in the group at this moment.
He came alone to the sacred tomb of the Ming Cult, and went straight in through the crack in the stone. Now he was standing in front of Yang Dingtian.
After staring at Yang Dingtian, who had turned into a skeleton, for a long time, he let out a joyful yet twisted laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
"Yang Dingtian, so what if you've become the leader of the Demonic Sect?"
"So what if he stole my childhood sweetheart?!"
"I never imagined you'd actually go mad and die here!"
As he spoke, he ripped off the white cloth.
"I, Cheng Kun, will use the six major sects today to annihilate your Demonic Sect!"
"And I'll also steal your sect's most powerful martial art, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!"
"At that time, I will be invincible, comfortably serving as the current dynasty's guardian mage!"
Cheng Kun's eyes gleamed with a crazed light, as if he could already see his future of mastering divine skills and wielding absolute power.
"Even without the Dragon-Slaying Saber, I am still the supreme master of the martial arts world."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
In the shadows, Chen Yuan patted Yin Tianzheng on the shoulder with a sigh.
"Eagle King, I told you long ago that this forbidden area of yours has become a latrine, anyone can enter, except for the people of your Ming Cult."
Yin Tianzheng: "..."
The metaphor is a bit strange, but it's true.
His gaze was like needles, fixed intently on Cheng Kun's retreating figure.
"So this is the guy..."
"Who?!"
Cheng Kun's laughter stopped abruptly. He turned around abruptly and saw four figures slowly emerging from the shadows.
The leader was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a blue robe, with a half-smile playing on his lips.
Beside him, the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng's gaze was like a knife, while the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
Finally, there was an old man with a white beard and bald head. Although Cheng Kun did not recognize him, he instinctively felt that the old man's aura was unfathomable.
Cheng Kun's pupils contracted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind!
He thought his infiltration plan was flawless, so how could he have been ambushed here?!
What alarmed him even more was that the young man could make the Eagle King and Bat King behind him willingly take a back seat.
"Who are you?!"
Cheng Kun shouted angrily, while simultaneously shifting his feet slightly, calculating his escape route.
Chen Yuan didn't answer. Instead, he stroked his chin and looked at Cheng Kun with the same eyes one would use to examine a rare animal.
"You're a perfectly normal person, why do you insist on becoming a dog for the Tartars? Do you think that's meaningful?"
Who I am is not important.
Chen Yuan looked at Cheng Kun with a surprised expression.
"The important thing is, do you have some kind of serious mental illness?"
"You say you're the mastermind behind everything, but you also have to come and show your displeasure to Yang Dingtian."
He spread his hands.
"See, you can't escape today, can you?"
"The six major sects will soon see your true colors."
"Ho—"
Cheng Kun sneered, took a step to the side, revealing Yang Dingtian, now a skeleton, behind him.
"Your leader, Yang Dingtian, relies on being the leader of a demonic sect..."
"Alright, alright."
Chen Yuan interrupted his narration.
"We already know all that you're saying."
"Isn't it just a story about someone cheating on their partner and then trying to destroy their entire business?"
"nonsense!"
Cheng Kun cried out, "I have never told anyone this secret before!"
"What exactly are you—"
He suddenly sprang up and pounced on Chen Yuan.
Once in mid-air, it twisted its body and headed towards the stone gate.
He considered himself to be quite skilled in martial arts, but dealing with the Eagle King and the Bat King was still somewhat difficult.
If you're not careful, something bad could happen.
Therefore, Cheng Kun caught them off guard. He appeared to attack and hurt them, but in reality, he turned around and ran away.
Once he steps through that stone gate, given his familiarity with the forbidden area, he will surely be able to escape.
As long as we can escape, everything else will be fine!
Unexpectedly, someone was even faster than him!
Chen Yuan stood smiling under the stone gate, a regretful expression on his face.
"You say you can come and go as you please? What do you take this place for?"
Cheng Kun was immediately taken aback. This speed and agility were probably even greater than that of the Green-Winged Bat King, Wei Yixiao!
He concentrated his energy and immediately struck Chen Yuan with a palm strike, while simultaneously letting out a loud, cold laugh.
"You're asking for it—ah!"
Chen Yuan calmly withdrew his fist.
Cheng Kun was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The ferocity on his face froze instantly, then transformed into unbelievable horror.
"impossible!"
This person's lightness skill is unbelievable.
But why is his internal energy so profound?
If it were a middle-aged person, it would be one thing, but this is just a young man in his early twenties!
Even if you started practicing martial arts from the womb, you still couldn't reach this level!
"Nothing is impossible."
Chen Yuan said, his hands behind his back.
There are many impossible things in this world.
"Who exactly are you?!"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Chen and my given name is Yuan. People in the martial arts world call me 'Demon.'"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Kun's pupils immediately contracted.
How did this demon lord end up colluding with the demonic cult?!
Just then, a member of the church rushed in to report.
"Eagle King, the forces of the six major factions have arrived before the palace!"
Yin Tianzheng and Wei Yixiao exchanged a glance, then looked at Chen Yuan at the same time.
Chen Yuan immediately turned his gaze to Cheng Kun.
