Chapter 59: Killing Into the Demon Cloud Sect

"So, what are you trying to say?" Xu Yang asked.

He Guang gritted his teeth, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes before quickly disappearing.

"So, I ask that you, sir, do not push me!"

Xu Yang scoffed, suddenly raising his hand high, then swiftly bringing it down.

With a loud smack, the slap landed squarely on He Guang's cheek.

He Guang touched the spot where he had been hit, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"You, you, you..." He Guang stammered, pointing at Xu Yang, his mouth trembling as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out.

His gaze gradually shifted from incredulity to fear.

Xu Yang smiled faintly and said, "Why are you just saying 'you'? What about the rest of it? Go on, say it."

He Guang touched his already swollen cheek and suddenly retreated quickly.

"This person is formidable, unstoppable! Quickly, enter the mountain gate and ask the Old Ancestor to emerge."

The people still watching outside, whether at the Nascent Soul or Foundation Establishment stage, quickly retreated into the mountain gate.

A low hum reverberated...

At that moment, a deep sound emerged, and a faint black mist enveloped the sky above the Demonic Cloud Sect.

Xu Yang glanced at it dismissively, then ignored it completely.

"'Evil Repelling and Origin Returning Mountain Protection Array'? Interesting, but unfortunately, it's just an incomplete version." Xu Yang took a step out, walking around the array's perimeter, constantly tapping his finger in the air.

Inside the array, everyone watched Xu Yang with bewildered expressions, whispering amongst themselves, unsure of what he was doing.

However, as Xu Yang continued to tap, the entire array began to tremble. Finally, with a 'bang,' the array shattered like mere foam.

Xu Yang stepped forward, entering the Demonic Cloud Sect, and stood before the stunned crowd.

"Hello there!" Xu Yang chuckled.

Spiritual energy, surging like ocean waves, billowed around him, blindingly white.

Boom...

Instantly, many Demonic Cloud Sect disciples were struck by Xu Yang's spiritual energy and turned into ashes before they could even scream.

Some elders at the Nascent Soul stage tried to stop Xu Yang, but as soon as they approached him, they were engulfed by his surging spiritual energy.

Xu Yang moved through the Demonic Cloud Sect unopposed!

Not a single person in the entire Demonic Cloud Sect could withstand a single blow from Xu Yang!

Inside the Demonic Cloud Sect, one person knelt on the ground, calling out with a look of grief: "Disciple begs the Old Ancestor to come out of seclusion! Otherwise, our Demonic Cloud Sect will surely perish today."

As this mournful plea echoed, a figure swiftly appeared.

This figure possessed a late Nascent Soul cultivation. Dressed in white robes, he appeared incredibly ancient, his body seemingly devoid of flesh, just shriveled skin hanging on a skeletal frame.

Despite his appearance, he did not seem frail; instead, he exuded an aura of vigor.

"What is it?" the old man asked, glancing at He Guang, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Sect Master, someone is causing trouble outside! This disciple is incompetent and unable to subdue them. I beg Master to intervene!" He Guang cried tears of joy.

"Someone is causing trouble? And even you can't subdue them?" Fang Yin was a little stunned.

He extended a wisp of his divine sense outwards, then said, "I understand. Come with me."

As his voice fell, Fang Yin disappeared from his spot.

Just then, as Xu Yang was enjoying the slaughter, the space before him suddenly rippled. A old man then emerged from it, as if peeling open the very fabric of space.

"How about we stop here?" Fang Yin said.

His sinister eyes swept across the surroundings, seeing the heavy casualties among the Demonic Cloud Sect disciples.

Fortunately, those who died were mostly ordinary disciples; the pillars of the Demonic Cloud Sect remained largely unharmed.

Although he was furious, given that he didn't know Xu Yang's true strength and that the Demonic Cloud Sect hadn't suffered significant damage, Fang Yin decided to let it go. It was better to avoid further trouble.

Xu Yang stopped, gazing calmly at the person before him. He then spoke coolly, "Are you the Sect Master of the Demonic Cloud Sect? If not, call him out. If so, then let's have a good talk."

Fang Yin replied, "I am the Sect Master. What is it? Do you have something you wish to discuss with me, young friend?"

Xu Yang sneered, "I'm giving you two choices now. First, hand over the Demonic Sky Mad Dragon. I can spare your life and that of your sect."

"The second choice, hehe, is if you refuse my first demand, then I will kill everyone in your Demonic Cloud Sect. So, which do you choose?"

After speaking, Xu Yang crossed his arms, watching Fang Yin with interest.

Fang Yin's expression instantly changed when he heard "Demonic Sky Mad Dragon."

"How do you know about that?" Fang Yin asked, his voice filled with doubt.

"Heh, if you want no one to know, don't do it! How I know is irrelevant. Instead, think about which of the two paths I offered you that you'll choose," Xu Yang said calmly.

Fang Yin's expression kept shifting. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he sneered:

"Even if I give you the Demonic Sky Mad Dragon, what then? That fierce beast possesses half the strength of a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. Do you think you can subdue it?"

Fang Yin chuckled triumphantly. In truth, he couldn't fully subdue the Demonic Sky Mad Dragon either, but he possessed a secret technique that could suppress its power in specific environments.

Despite this, he had still been injured!

This showed how terrifying the Demonic Sky Mad Dragon was.

"Whether I can subdue the Demonic Sky Mad Dragon is my concern. Right now, you should consider which path I offered you to choose."

Fang Yin's expression kept changing. He truly couldn't discern Xu Yang's strength, making him feel uneasy.

According to his perception, Xu Yang's cultivation was at the Qi Condensation stage...

But he wasn't foolish. Even if his brain was in his toes, he knew Xu Yang wasn't at the Qi Condensation stage; it was merely a disguise.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see through to Xu Yang's true cultivation level.

This left him feeling frustrated.

Suddenly, he sneered and said, "Since you put it that way, I'll see how you go about subduing that fierce beast."

"I've placed the Demonic Sky Mad Dragon in the secluded valley behind the mountain. I'll take you to see it," Fang Yin said, a cold sneer in his heart.

The Demonic Sky Mad Dragon was not a benevolent creature. He didn't know Xu Yang's strength and dared not act himself, so he might as well let the Demonic Sky Mad Dragon test him.

A smile appeared on Xu Yang's face. He said, "It seems you've chosen the first path. Good, then take me to see it."

Fang Yin led the way, passing several large mountains, until they finally arrived at a deep, secluded valley.
