Chapter 36: It's Over! The Yangsheng Sect Knows? The Entire Sect in Terror
Page (1/3)
“He’s trying to send a warning!”
The disciples of the White Sword Sect instantly understood Lu Kang’s plan.
After all, Peng Shan had previously seen disciples of the opposing side use this very method to send messages to the Yangsheng Sect.
The next second, the disciples surrounding them all aimed their weapons at the rapidly ascending figure.
“It’s too late to use this now!”
Liang Chuan cast a deep look at the man whose body was rapidly being consumed by flames.
He had to admit that he greatly admired this man. Had he been a member of the White Sword Sect, he would certainly have been considered worthy of special cultivation.
Even at the very last moment of his life, he had not surrendered. Instead, he had chosen to send a message to the Yangsheng Sect.
Lu Kang naturally heard Liang Chuan’s words, but he merely clenched his teeth and left behind a final roar:
“Even if I die, I will never be captured by you!”
In just a few more seconds, he would be able to send the message back to the Yangsheng Sect.
He looked down. Though flames scorched his entire body, he did not utter even the slightest cry of pain.
Watching the flames surge into the sky, Peng Shan abruptly prepared to pull the trigger. If the other man continued rising, they would never be able to hit him!
“Stop!”
Just as Peng Shan was about to pull the trigger, Liang Chuan suddenly pressed his hand down.
“Master, if we let him inform them, we’ll be in danger!”
Peng Shan’s voice was hurried. This time, the Yangsheng Sect had sent a Core Formation cultivator. Next time, the enemy would surely be even stronger.
They had already struggled greatly against a single Core Formation cultivator. If the other side brought even more powerful experts, the White Sword Sect would find it difficult to withstand their assault.
“It’s fine. Let him send the message.”
Something flickered in Liang Chuan’s eyes. He knew that, for them, having more time would certainly be advantageous.
Yet for some reason, the sight of Lu Kang’s figure stirred something within him.
The surrounding disciples were deeply unwilling, but this was Liang Chuan’s order. They could only lower their weapons with helpless expressions.
A military order was as weighty as a mountain. All they could do was watch helplessly as everything unfolded.
By then, Lu Kang had already reached the heights of the sky. The flames suddenly burst outward.
In the blink of an eye, his body was burned to ashes.
As the specks of ash drifted downward, Peng Shan and the others were filled with complicated emotions.
“Master, what should we do next?”
Peng Hai gritted his teeth. According to their original plan, they would certainly have gained a great deal of time.

But now, the Yangsheng Sect had surely learned that Shi Rongxuan and the others they had sent out had been completely wiped out. A storm-like assault was bound to follow.
“Then let them come.”
Liang Chuan extended his hand and caught a few drifting specks of ash. In a calm voice, he said, “When soldiers come, we will meet them with generals; when water comes, we will hold it back with earth. From this moment on, place the entire sect on high alert!”
Though the enemy was powerful, Liang Chuan felt no fear. Instead, for some inexplicable reason, he was somewhat excited.
He had only recently arrived in this ancient cultivation world, yet these past days had been far more thrilling than the entirety of his previous life.
“Cultivation is a struggle against Heaven itself. I already have a system. How could I possibly lose to them?!”
The corners of Liang Chuan’s lips lifted slightly, and his heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
Seeing his calm demeanor, the disciples’ anxious hearts finally eased somewhat.
Since even the sect master was not worried, he must still have a way to deal with the situation.
“Now that everything is over, go gather their belongings and bring them back to the sect.”
Although these men had not brought many pills or other supplies, they possessed quite a few valuable items.
The spirit boat alone was worth more than a hundred thousand spirit stones.
The White Sword Sect would never have been willing to spend so many spirit stones on such a thing.
At his words, the disciples quickly scattered and began searching through the battlefield.
It was not long before they had gathered everything of value.
Peng Shan carried a storage pouch and returned to Liang Chuan with a radiant expression.
“Master, according to our count, after setting aside the resources required by the sect, the remaining magical artifacts alone could be sold for fifty thousand spirit stones!”
Items such as the spirit boat were naturally kept by the White Sword Sect. After all, the sect possessed no such treasures at present.
Moreover, given everyone’s current rate of cultivation, the spirit boat would sooner or later prove useful.
“I never imagined that disciples of these great sects would be so wealthy!”
Liang Chuan could not help but marvel inwardly at the disparity between the two sides. The spirit boat undoubtedly belonged to the Yangsheng Sect, but the other magical artifacts and pills had been the personal property of those disciples.
At the very least, in the White Sword Sect, most of the disciples combined did not possess as much wealth as these few people.
The White Sword Sect was only just getting started. Being able to scrape together enough spirit stones for the disciples to cultivate was already quite an achievement. As for distributing spirit stones directly to them, that was out of the question.
“Greetings, Master of the White Sword Sect.”
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, the city lord approached Liang Chuan and clasped his fists in salute.
Looking at Liang Chuan, who had grown ever more powerful, the city lord’s feelings were complicated.
Who could have imagined that a single White Sword Sect would force these people from the Yangsheng Sect into such a state?
Liang Chuan looked at the city lord, nodded slightly, and said, “You performed well this time.”
At first, he had thought the city lord would flee without hesitation, allowing him to install one of his own people in the position.
Although three Qi Refining cultivators had been watching the city lord, if the man had been determined to escape, they might not necessarily have been able to spare the effort to catch him.

Unexpectedly, the man had held out to the very end for the sake of his soldiers.
Liang Chuan took a small jade bottle from his storage ring and tossed it over.
The city lord fumbled as he caught it.
“These are healing pills. Take them.”
Although the man had indeed betrayed the White Sword Sect earlier, he had been in a helpless position at the time and had been forced to bow his head.
Besides, his character was not truly bad. If Liang Chuan had been in his place, faced with such a situation and unaware of either side’s true strength, he might have fled long ago.
“Thank you, Master of the White Sword Sect!”
The city lord had merely intended to pay his respects. He had never expected to receive healing pills.
Healing pills cost at least three hundred spirit stones apiece on the market, even at the lowest price. Yet Liang Chuan had simply given them away!
“What is your name?”
For the first time, Liang Chuan took an interest in the city lord and asked directly.
The city lord clasped his fists and replied with utmost respect, “My name is Pang Yongchao.”
“If you run into any trouble in the future, you may come to me.”
After saying this, Liang Chuan led everyone away.
Watching Liang Chuan’s departing figure, Pang Yongchao fell into deep thought.
When Liang Chuan returned to the sect, he immediately announced the good news.
Everyone within the sect was stunned.
They had considered the possibility that they might win, but none of them had expected such an easy victory.
Not a single one of them had even died!
But the news that followed left them utterly dumbfounded.
They had clearly heard that the Yangsheng Sect already knew the people it had sent had been completely wiped out.
We’re doomed!
The Yangsheng Sect was a sect with Nascent Soul experts, while the White Sword Sect did not even possess a single Core Formation cultivator.
They were truly doomed!
Yet as Liang Chuan watched the entire sect collapse into panic, his expression remained unmoved. Instead, an inscrutable, icy smile appeared on his face.
