“Leader Lei and the others have returned,” a disciple said.

Lín Zhong and Ming Xiu both looked towards the direction of the mountain gate and soon saw Leader Lei and several members of the White Robe Sword Sect making their way back.

Zhu Minglang also looked in their direction and saw that Leader Lei was somewhat disheveled, and the members of the White Robe Sword Sect accompanying him had all been injured.

Moreover, he remembered the number of people who had pursued the quarry the night before had been greater than just these few. They had chased after nothing, so how had it come to this?

“We were ambushed, damn the Demon Sect!” Leader Lei said, his face smeared with dirt, his eyes filled with anger.

“What about the other disciples, Leader Lei?” Lín Zhong asked.

“Dead,” Leader Lei replied.

Lín Zhong and Ming Xiu both showed expressions of shock.

With Leader Lei present, and most of those who accompanied him being deacons and Sword Masters, such a team should have been able to eradicate a small demon sect’s nest—how could it have turned out like this?

“We were careless and shouldn’t have pursued so deep. But we cannot let this grudge go unavenged. Once I report this to Master Zheng Mei, we must seek justice for our fallen brothers!” Leader Lei declared.

There were bloodshot streaks in his eyes, and his complexion was very poor.

Moreover, the other surviving deacons of the Sword Sect looked dejected and scared, as if they had been traumatized.

It didn’t seem like an act.

Zhu Minglang, puzzled, turned his gaze towards the Demon Sect’s disciple Ye Youying.

The person they had been chasing from the Demon Sect was right in front of them, wasn’t she?

Besides, she had been with him in the same room the night before. Although Zhu Minglang had fallen asleep, the Sword Spirit Dragon had been keeping an eye on her the whole time; she hadn’t left his room all night.

Ye Youying was just as perplexed and claimed she had no knowledge of what happened.

“Did you encounter your accomplices?” Zhu Minglang asked softly.

“If I had accomplices, would I have needed your rescue?” Ye Youying responded, somewhat dissatisfied.

“So what did they chase after that they even lost many lives?” Zhu Minglang scratched his head.

“How would I know!” Ye Youying said.

…

Following Leader Lei to the Sword Manor’s White Hall, many hall masters made their appearances, and some deacons and disciples gathered outside of the White Hall.

Inside the White Hall, a middle-aged swordswoman sat upon the Taishi Chair, her gaze fixed on several disciples who had suffered serious injuries, her face somewhat grim.

“After we lost the trail of the Demon Sect’s disciple, I used a Tracking Talisman and discovered a Demon Sect site at a roadside inn. Junior Brother Xiao was too reckless and led the deacons into an ambush when they entered. By the time I intervened, a huge arm emerged from the earth and blocked me. By the time I broke free from the arm that rose from the ground, Junior Brother Xiao and all the deacons had already perished…” Leader Lei recounted the situation painfully and with regret.

“Are those Demon Sect’s disciples still in that inn?” the Master asked.

“Yes, they are obviously conducting some sort of Summoning Demon ritual, gathering a considerable number of experts. Brother Xiao fears that these Demon Sect’s disciples will summon some kind of Ghost King or Evil Monarch, bringing disaster to the innocent people of Dawn, which is why he wants to go and investigate clearly,” Leader Lei said.

“Are you sure it is the Summoning Demon Sect?” the Master appeared more cautious.

“Yes, as we were escaping, many monsters appeared in the mountains and forests, persistently pursuing us. I was injured while battling an arm that emerged from the ground, unable to ensure all the deacons returned safely. In the end, only a few of us remained. Master, these Demon Sect’s disciples have become so audacious, if we do not exterminate them now, I fear they even intend to trample over our White Robe Sword Sect!” Leader Lei said.

Leader Lei described the situation in detail, especially the arm that had emerged from the ground, which was terrifying in strength. Leader Lei himself is the chief instructor of all the disciples in the White Mountain Sword Sect, holding a status equivalent to the Master, and his strength naturally could rival that of some older masters.

Even he was no match for that Earth Demon arm, indicating that this time the Demon Sect truly had a major operation underway!

“There is no time to lose, gather our forces quickly, this time we must completely eradicate the Summoning Demon Sect!” the middle-aged female Master said.

Upon receiving the orders, the White Robe Sword Sect mobilized swiftly, and soon elders, hall masters, and deacons from within the Great Sect Woods had all appeared, with even more disciples forming one swordsman disciple squad after another.

In the morning, the White Robe Sword Sect was still enveloped in a tranquil atmosphere, with disciples practicing swordsmanship, deacons patrolling, and hall masters managing…

But by the afternoon, the entire White Robe Sword Sect had entered a state of preparation for battle. From their organized and rapid assembly and division into squads, it was evident that the White Robe Sword Sect was often engaged in fierce battles with the Demon Sect forces!

Struggles between forces were even more frequent than wars, ranging from minor disputes over territory by disciples to major conflicts over Spirit Veins, and vendettas leading to extermination. In areas rich with Spirit Veins, small forces sprouted up like bamboo shoots after rain, growing wildly with astonishing speed, and of course, the speed of their destruction was equally staggering…

For major powers like the White Robe Sword Sect, it was no easy task to stand the test of time; a single significant move could lead to their downfall, struggling to compare with the truly great woods.

The White Robe Sword Sect and the Demon Sect were irreconcilable enemies; the Sword Sect’s creed was to exterminate demons and rid evil, and thus the White Robe Sword Sect had made a multitude of adversaries, essentially being a thorn in the side of all Demon Sects!

Before long, over a thousand members of the White Robe Sword Sect had assembled in front of the Sword Manor, all with a Cultivation Base of at least General level, holding swords and waiting for the Master to issue commands.

“Leader Lei, please lead the way for the disciples,” Master Zheng Mei said.

“We absolutely cannot let these Demon Sect fiends get away scot-free!” Leader Lei rekindled his fighting spirit.

“Chop down the demons and rid the evil!!”

“Chop down the demons and rid the evil!!!”

“Chop down the demons and rid the evil!!!”

Clad in white, their swords gleaming brightly, the Sword Manor bore a starkly different atmosphere from the tranquil villas Zhu Minglang had seen before. The entire Sword Manor, due to the assembly of these white-clad swordsmen, emanated an air of solemnity and killing intent, presenting a face and a temperament completely different from the gentle, hospitable, and courteous image Zhu Minglang had observed in the morning!

“Brother Zhu, since we belong to the same Sword Sect and you are a disciple of the Yaoshan Sword Sect, isn’t it your undeniable duty to partake in this demon-chopping and evil-ridding mission? Why not join us?” Lín Zhong approached and said to Zhu Minglang.

“If they are the vile and evil sort, I will not hesitate, but I judge my actions based on the person, not the sect or the power they wield,” Zhu Minglang said.

A thousand people were looking at him, then asked him such a question.

In his heart, Zhu Minglang wanted to curse; your demon-chopping and evil-ridding, full of fanfare, is none of my damn business…

But he had no choice; after all, he had revealed that he was from the Yaoshan Sword Sect, and to refuse would likely tarnish his sect’s reputation, especially here among those of the White Robe Sword Sect, who could be considered peers…

Of course, Zhu Minglang had his own principles for acting; if it were purely power against power, he would absolutely not get involved. However, if they were truly conducting an evil ritual like the Eyeless Sect, it was something that had to be stopped no matter what!
