Chapter 366: A Great Slaughter

The feeling was unmistakable; he was clearly attacked by the Formation. The disciple of the Blood Sea Sect was immediately shocked and cried out in anger, "Fang Lie, how could you not keep your promise! Don’t you care at all about the Fang Family’s reputation?"

While speaking, he didn’t dare to pause for even a moment and hurriedly summoned his Magic, transforming into a blood rainbow to escape into the distance.

However, he hadn’t flown far when a terrifying mechanical beast came crashing down on him.

It was a mechanical monkey, towering ten zhang tall, with long arms nearly a zhang wide. Who knew how much power it possessed? The blow struck him head-on and knocked the blood shadow from his transformation right out of the air.

Caught completely off guard, the poor fellow suffered heavy injuries, his body crashing into the ground, with countless bones broken.

Fortunately, the Blood Sea Sect’s Dao magic was the best at nurturing the body, making him exceptionally strong. Plus, he had quite a few treasures for protection, which saved his life. Otherwise, this strike would have surely not just broken bones; it could have turned him into a meat paste!

At that moment, Gui Dang appeared before him, smiling as he said, "Don’t go spouting nonsense. Our Young Master Fang has always kept his word. He promised not to bother you, so he won’t bother you; in fact, he has already left and won’t handle things here anymore. It’s me who wants your life!"

"Damn it, weren’t you all working together?" the disciple exclaimed in furious disbelief.

"We’re all disciples of the Mo Sect, of course we’re together. But just now, you didn’t say I couldn’t kill you; that’s your own careless mistake," Gui Dang said with a sly grin.

"Bullshit! I didn’t even know you were here; how could I have thought of that?" The disciple suddenly realized and cursed, "Damn it, Fang Lie is deliberately setting me up! How could the Fang Family become this cunning?"

"When do you think that happened?" Gui Dang immediately asked with a smile.

"Damn it, it’s probably because of his father’s situation!" The Blood Sea Sect disciple laughed bitterly. "Clearly, it was the righteous sect that tricked him, but why do we from the evil faction have to suffer for it?"

"Serves you right; who told you to participate in that battle?" Gui Dang declared aggressively. "Well, enough chit-chat. You’re quite skilled; even heavily injured, you managed to survive my ambush and still have some combat power left. It shows you’re a tough character. If we fought fairly, I probably wouldn’t be your match! But now, I’m sorry, I can only ask you to die!"

With that, Gui Dang excitedly prepared to command his mechanical monkey to take down this big fat sheep.

According to the rules, since Fang Lie did not participate in this fight, he wasn’t qualified to share in the spoils of war, and nobody would want these things.

But for Gui Dang, the treasures carried by the elite disciples of major sects were incredibly tempting; they might multiply his wealth. How could he not be happy about that?

However, at that critical moment, the Blood Sea Sect disciple quickly pulled out a blood-colored pearl and shouted, "Stop! Otherwise, I’ll release this Blood Thunder Pearl! This is a treasure left by my master, with power comparable to a blow from the Wind Tribulation Immortal. If it explodes, the poisonous blood will leave nothing alive within ten miles; not even the Purple Palace Immortal could survive it, and neither of us would make it out alive!"

If they were in a different location, Gui Dang would have been compelled by his threat, but unfortunately, this was inside the Eight Gates Heavenly Lock Formation, where any Divine Lightning that exceeded the power of the Golden Pool would be restricted and hard to activate.

Unless the user’s strength could overpower the Formation, which required at least the cultivation of a Nascent Soul True Immortal, but this Blood Sea Sect disciple clearly didn’t measure up.

Under these circumstances, Gui Dang ignored him entirely, treating the threat as nonsense, and continued to control the mechanical beast to smash down on the disciple’s head.

The disciple didn’t expect Gui Dang to be so bold; initially stunned, he quickly realized that his opponent was serious. As a demonic sect cultivator, he was also a hardliner. Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate and directly launched the Blood Thunder Pearl while using his magic to detonate it.

In his final moments, he shouted, "Since you want to kill me, let’s die together!"

With a loud boom, the Blood Sea Sect disciple was smashed into meat paste by the mechanical monkey.

As for the Blood Thunder Pearl, it didn’t respond at all.

In his final instant, the Blood Sea Sect disciple saw the process of the Blood Thunder Pearl failing and looked utterly shocked, as if struck by thunder, maintaining that expression until he met his end.

Meanwhile, the victorious Gui Dang didn’t care about anything else; he happily stored away the mechanical monkey and excitedly began to clean the battlefield.

He collected the undetonated Blood Thunder Pearl and the other’s Sumeru Bags, even stripping off the tattered robe from the disciple’s body.

After all, this robe was a Fourth-tier Magical Item. Although it was ruined, the fragments were still valuable and could be used to forge banners.

Fang Lie would certainly not bother to look at it, but for Gui Dang, it was a significant source of wealth!

After collecting everything, Gui Dang destroyed the disciple’s body to prevent it from rotting and stinking up the area for Fang Lie.

Then Gui Dang obediently went to find Fang Lie and presented the Spoils of War. Though knowing Fang Lie’s wealth might make him indifferent to such gains, and that Fang Lie technically had no qualification to claim spoils without showing his skills, Gui Dang still wanted to demonstrate proper respect.

As anticipated, the honest Fang Lie wouldn’t take even a bit of the spoils. Without even glancing, he motioned for Gui Dang to keep everything.

The following days became their hunting season. More cultivators kept getting lured into the area by Flower Demons. Whether from East Kunlun, Great Thunder Sound Temple, or other demonic sects, Fang Lei slaughtered them all mercilessly.

They encountered many formidable scoundrels—some so strong even Fang Lie couldn’t face them directly. During such moments, the Fire Spirit Gu proved invaluable. Having nurtured over a hundred million of these insects at great expense, Fang Lie deployed them strategically.

The Fire Spirit Gu normally hid within the Formation, swarming any intruders. Ordinary Golden Pool realm cultivators couldn’t trigger their disposable treasures in time, falling easily to the gu’s relentless bites without needing Self-Detonation. Against stronger foes warding off the swarm, Fang Lie would ambush them with his Soulfire Lance, piercing hearts before they realized.

Casualties remained low—only a million Fire Spirit Gu lost after eliminating hundreds. To Fang Lie’s current riches, this loss felt insignificant.

Mo Sect disciples, however, were spared. Fang Lie confiscated their Flower Demons and offered them shelter. Historically decimated in Lost Forest conflicts, these timid disciples gratefully accepted. Soon Fang Lie gathered most Mo Sect members.

Though individually weak, dozens working with the Formation became formidable. Fang Lie rarely intervened unless facing true experts.

Two days before the month’s end, Fang Lie commanded nearly seventy percent of Mo Sect disciples and a thousand Flower Demons cultivating in the Herb Garden. With no new arrivals recently, complacency spread. Groups chatted lazily, some drinking victory wine.

Three middle-aged Taoists suddenly appeared—identical triplets with treasured swords, unmistakably from East Kunlun. Spotting them, dozens of Mo Sect disciples silently surrounded the intruders. Hidden by Fog and Formation, the Taoists only noticed when fully encircled.

Though startled into forming a defensive Three Talents Formation, the trio showed no fear despite being outnumbered.
