Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Ominous Signs Within the Nine Yang Sect, the Fall of a Dynasty and the Slaughter of All Life

“Is there any news from the Ancient Secret Realm?”

Within the Nine Yang Sect, the Sect Master Danyang Zhenren asked in a deep voice.

After he spoke.

An elder shook his head, “Since the Ancient Secret Realm opened, only a few cultivators have come out. As of now, not much news has been spread. However, according to those who have emerged, it is a small world with dense Spiritual Qi, nurturing many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

However, Sect Master need not worry. With the Supreme Elder’s strength, obtaining fortune in the Ancient Secret Realm should not be difficult.”

“This matter is clear to me, yet these days I always have an ominous premonition.”

Danyang Zhenren shook his head slightly, hearing the reply with a heavy expression that showed no signs of relaxation.

He didn’t doubt Master Zi Li’s strength.

Although the Nine Yang Sect is primarily focused on Alchemy, Master Zi Li had entered the Tribulation Stage years ago and was considered the most hopeful of breaking through to the Mahayana Stage within the Nine Yang Sect.

Moreover, given the status of the Nine Yang Sect, few cultivators would dare oppose Master Zi Li.

Ultimately.

The Nine Yang Sect is known for Alchemy, ranking among the top alchemical forces in the Taiyuan Realm. Even other top sects like the Immortal King Sect and Wenda Sect occasionally seek assistance from the Nine Yang Sect.

Other Loose Cultivators don’t need much mentioning.

Through the pathway of Alchemy, the Nine Yang Sect has extensive connections throughout the Taiyuan Realm. On regular days, disciples walking the cultivation world find that other cultivators give them some face.

After all, no one wants to offend the Nine Yang Sect.

Should there come a day when they need the Nine Yang Sect’s help, it would be hard to resolve.

The path of cultivation.

Cannot be separated from the assistance of Elixirs.

Even the most outstanding prodigies can advance faster with the aid of Elixirs.

Yet the ominous premonition lurking has kept Danyang Zhenren constantly anxious, compounded by the fact that the Nine Yang Sect is not skilled in deciphering fate, making it difficult to calculate anything.

At that moment.

An elder rushed in from outside, looking incredibly flustered.

Seeing this scene, Danyang Zhenren’s sense of foreboding grew even stronger.

“What happened?”

“Reporting to Sect Master, the latest news shows that millions of citizens of the Great Yan Dynasty were slaughtered overnight, and our Nine Yang Sect disciples guarding the Great Yan Dynasty have also all perished.”

“What!”

Before Danyang Zhenren could speak, a middle-aged cultivator stood up first, his face furious, with a powerful pressure belonging to the Void Refining Stage erupting and raging throughout the hall.

“Elder Dan Yan, calm your anger first, let’s understand the specifics before acting.”

Danyang Zhenren’s expression was very unpleasant, but seeing the furious Dan Yan Zhenren, he still spoke to persuade him.

Upon hearing this.

Dan Yan Zhenren also realized his loss of composure, gathering up the aura he had released, but his face remained dark as water, seemingly wishing to tear apart whoever annihilated the Great Yan Dynasty.

He himself was originally from the Great Yan Dynasty and was a royal family child.

Later, due to his good talent, he entered the Nine Yang Sect, gradually cultivating to the Void Refining Stage, and opted to stay in the sect, taking the position of an elder in the Nine Yang Sect.

But this doesn’t mean Dan Yan Zhenren has completely severed ties with the Great Yan Dynasty.

On the contrary.

Throughout these years, Dan Yan Zhenren has taken good care of the Great Yan Dynasty, selecting promising youngsters from there every few years to enter the Nine Yang Sect and become sect disciples.

With Dan Yan Zhenren’s care, the national power of the Great Yan Dynasty has been flourishing, incomparable to the past.

But now, suddenly hearing news of the Great Yan Dynasty’s destruction, how could Dan Yan Zhenren not be furious?

On the other side.

Danyang Zhenren said solemnly, “The emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty has broken through to the Unity Stage in recent years, with many cultivating families stationed, possessing strength surpassing many sects.

Has it been ascertained who destroyed the Great Yan Dynasty?”

With Unity Stage experts stationed.

And numerous cultivating families present.

Moreover, because of the relationship with the Nine Yang Sect, the Nine Yang Sect sent disciples annually to guard various places in the Great Yan Dynasty to prevent disturbances.

Frankly speaking.

With the Great Yan Dynasty’s current strength, many sects are outmatched.

Though nominally a mortal country, regarding foundation strength, calling it a large sect is entirely reasonable.

Upon hearing this, the other elders also looked towards the one speaking.

The latter replied gravely, “The flesh essence of all civilians has been refined completely, which is a method of the Demon Dao, resembling the Blood Transformation Demon Sect but with notable differences.

However, being able to destroy the entire Great Yan Dynasty overnight, it’s likely only a top sect of the Demon Dao can accomplish this.”

Blood Transformation Demon Sect!

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expression turned.

Danyang Zhenren’s eyes were icy, “The only Tribulation Stage expert of the Blood Transformation Demon Sect has perished. How does the Blood Transformation Ancestor have the gall to provoke my Nine Yang Sect?”

It’s not that he doubts that the Blood Transformation Demon Sect wouldn’t do such a thing, but rather he doubts that the Blood Transformation Ancestor would have the nerve.

As a top sect, the Blood Transformation Demon Sect is weaker than the Nine Yang Sect.

More importantly.

The only Tribulation Stage expert of the Blood Transformation Demon Sect has fallen.

Without a sitting Tribulation Stage expert, if the Blood Transformation Demon Sect didn’t act discreetly but instead deliberately provoked the Nine Yang Sect, it wouldn’t want to live any longer.

Therefore.

Danyang Zhenren instinctively felt something was off.

At this moment.

Dan Yan Zhenren angrily said, “The demon Dao’s means are ruthless. Perhaps the Blood Transformation Ancestor, because the only Tribulation Stage master has fallen, wishes to break through to Tribulation Stage quickly, hence committing such an extinction method.

No matter what, with the annihilation of the Great Yan Dynasty, I absolutely can’t sit back and remain indifferent.

Thus I request Sect Master, allow me to handle this matter personally. I must identify the real culprit behind the Great Yan Dynasty’s destruction and make them pay the price!”

The obliteration of the Great Yan Dynasty has accumulated Dan Yan Zhenren’s anger to the extreme. If it weren’t for being in the sect’s main hall, he might not have been able to hold back.

Seeing this situation.

Danyang Zhenren sighed, “Elder Dan Yan’s active volunteering poses no issue for the sect. However, the hidden culprit who destroyed the Great Yan Dynasty is not weak, and at least a Void Refining Stage expert is involved.

Otherwise, the desire to destroy the Great Yan Dynasty overnight would be impossible.

Elder Dan Yan acting alone is ultimately too reckless. It’s better for Elder Dan Hua and Elder Dan Hai to accompany you to ensure utmost safety.”

The Danyang Zhenren’s mention of Dan Hua and Dan Hai refers to the Nine Yang Sect’s two Void Refining Stage elders.

Amongst them, Elder Dan Hua is a female Daoist in the initial level of Void Refining.

Elder Dan Hai is a powerful late stage of Void Refining.

“Thank you, Sect Master!”

Dan Yan Zhenren didn’t refuse.

He recognized that a strong expert who could annihilate the Great Yan Dynasty would not be weak. Even if he could identify the culprit, he might not be capable of handling them alone, but with two Void Refining Stage elders accompanying him, it would be different.
