Chapter 1547: Jinwei Goes Mad

"Um…"

Elder Liu remained silent, while Wang Quande, who was standing behind, had a thoughtful look. He kept touching his chin, as if he had realized something.

"Since we can’t provide an answer, let Ouyang Martial Sister go in! Li Ling Martial Sister will accompany her. If anyone wants to hold someone accountable, find me, Xue Honglou!" With an unprecedented determination, a dignified expression appeared on Xue Honglou’s handsome face.

"Hmph!" Elder Xu heard the Saint Child’s command and no longer insisted. He glared at Ouyang Jinwei and Xue Honglou, then left in a huff.

Immediately, the barrier opened, and Ouyang Jinwei and Li Ling looked at Xue Honglou with confusion. In a single leap, they were transported into the Baicao barrier.

Nobody noticed that after the two entered, there was a subtle change in Xue Honglou’s barely perceptible gaze.

As they entered the boundary, the further they went in, the more frightened they felt. From the Fifth Saint Child area, they soared through the air and arrived in Ouyang Jinwei’s area. Along the way, Ouyang Jinwei saw a larger number of demon beasts than usual.

When they reached their own area, the powerful beings of the Demonic Master Realm had already disappeared, leaving only countless demon beasts devouring the bodies of Sacred Mountain disciples.

The entire mountain forest was filled with flowing blood, with flesh and bones separated and scattered everywhere. Even a single drop of it was present. The night breeze carried a nauseating stench of blood.

"Crack!"

At this moment, within the dense forest, there were no more cries or shouts. Only the figures of demon beasts, feasting and gnawing on flesh, could be seen. The traces of fierce battles and plundering were distressingly evident all over the mountains.

Above the void, two figures emerged. One was cool and aloof, while the other was passionately fiery. It was Ouyang Jinwei and Li Ling.

"What is happening here!"

Ouyang Jinwei looked at the horrifying scene before her, and inhaled sharply, her legs slightly weak. The bodies of countless disciples of Sacred Mountain piled up into mountains, their accumulated blood forming rivers. Looking up, the bodies of Sacred Mountain disciples could be seen hanging in the forest.

Ouyang Jinwei clenched her fists, her face whitening with anger. When she slowly landed on the ground, her eyes began to twinkle with stars. Li Ling quickly supported her.

"Sister! What’s happening! What’s happening!"

At that moment, tears welled up in Ouyang Jinwei’s eyes. Her vision blurred with mist as she continued to sob. Li Ling’s eyes were also filled with tears, unable to believe what was happening.

The hellish scene filled with blood and slaughter caused both Ouyang Jinwei and Li Ling, who were highly skilled disciples, to lose their composure. What kind of hatred could create such a shocking scene of bloodshed?

"Roar!"

From the dense forest, several Bloodwing Windwolves rushed out, baring their fangs and claws, eyes gleaming with coldness.

"Golden Thunder Soul Finger!"

In an instant, all the anger surged up Ouyang Jinwei’s index finger along with her energy. Her fingertip floated in the air, radiating a dazzling golden light. Suddenly, a bolt of golden tears flashed, accompanied by a deafening thunder.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the sky, a golden light appeared in a flash. The golden fingerprint, resembling golden lightning, pierced through the bodies of several Bloodwing Windwolves. With a resounding boom, the sound of wind and thunder echoed throughout the entire mountain forest.

"Bam!"

The wind wolf fell heavily from the sky, causing the ground to explode and crack. Sand and rocks flew everywhere, creating a terrifying scene.

Ouyang Jinwei’s angry gaze moved swiftly between the wind wolves. In an instant, all of the ferocious monsters were torn apart, spraying blood into the air.

A sharp and fierce killing intent shot up to the sky, dazzling golden light shone in the blood-red sky.

"It’s the Soul-Stealing Finger of the Golden Thunder Town! It’s someone from the Sacred Mountain!"

Several figures crawled out from within the dense forest, covered in dirt and snow. They were Shen Mo, Lin Qiu, and the others who had escaped for their lives. Shen Mo had nothing in his left hand, only marks left by the demon beast’s bite. Lin Qiu had three fingers missing from his previously sturdy hand, and Liu Shuanger had only a bloodied hole on her shoulder.

"It’s Senior Sister Jinwei!" Liu Shuanger exclaimed with joy.

The three of them hurriedly rolled over to Ouyang Jinwei. Upon seeing the arrival of the powerful members from the Sacred Mountain, they felt as though they had been saved. Tears streamed from their eyes as they were on the verge of crying their hearts out. Ouyang Jinwei, with red eyes, became even more annoyed and shouted, "Shut up! Tell me, what’s going on?"

"Senior Sister, we… all fell for Duan Hong’s trick! He forced us to swallow the Soul-Devouring Bone-Pulverizing Pill and made us help him find the Soul Measuring Heavenly Crystal!" Liu Shuanger cried, her face still bleeding from the previous injuries inflicted by Yun Qing.

"Wait, who is Duan Hong?" Ouyang Jinwei’s eyebrows furrowed, and she asked with a cold and icy expression.

A chill and fear appeared on Liu Shuanger’s pale face, and she trembled as she said, "He is a disciple of the Nine Mansions! I have never heard of him before!"

"Yes, after we returned to the dense forest, he somehow gathered many demon beasts. Our fellow disciples who were participating in the ceremony… they were all bitten to death!" Lin Qiu continued.

Ouyang Jinwei’s blood surged, and her joints cracked as Li Ling angrily said, "Why didn’t you inform the outside about this!"

"Senior sister, you don’t know, all the demon beasts from Baicao Mountain have been mobilized. The powerful ones from the Demonic Master Realm have come out to help Duan Hong find the Soul Measuring Heavenly Crystal! They kill any disciples from our Sacred Mountain they encounter. It’s terrifying!" Lin Qiu couldn’t stop shaking, and his plump body swayed like a small mountain in front of Ouyang Jinwei.

Hearing this, Ouyang Jinwei and Li Ling gasped in shock. Their eyes widened, and Ouyang Jinwei questioned, "There must be something fishy! To dare to make a move against Sacred Mountain, I won’t let him find a resting place in death! He won’t get out alive!"

"Where is this person named Duan Hong now?" Li Ling’s voice turned cold as she spoke to the disheveled trio.

The three looked at each other, unaware of Duan Hong’s whereabouts, as he appeared and disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Liu Shuanger’s mind, and she exclaimed, "I remember now! He also captured one thousand water elemental cultivators in the Li Clan Ancestral Shrine!"

"A thousand?" Ouyang Jinwei’s eyes grew more confused, not knowing what they were thinking!

"Martial Sister, let’s go! Let’s go and see! The three of you quickly notify the people in other areas and Dean Xuanyuan!"

As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Jinwei and Li Ling rapidly circulated their golden energy, turning into a streak of light in the sky, heading straight towards the Li Clan ancestral hall.

After the two left, not long after, they could hear the distant sounds of demon beasts attacking and roaring in the other areas. Another purgatory must be opening, sending shivers down their spines. The three of them crawled and scrambled towards the entrance of the barrier to escape.

The wind broke, and Ouyang Jinwei and Li Ling remained silent along the way, pushing their speed to the maximum, like a shooting star across the sky.

"Duan Hong, for killing so many disciples from the Sacred Mountain, I demand blood for blood!"

Li Ling, who has always been gentle, was ignited with a fiery anger by the massacre-like slaughter. It was like a volcanic eruption and was about to burst forth in a matter of minutes!

"Beast! I will crush you completely!" Ouyang Jinwei gritted her silver teeth and in an instant, transformed into a lightning bolt, heading towards the ancestral hall once again!
