Fang Yuan led a large group of people out of the mountain gate, glanced back at the Wan Gu Sect, and directly cut down the entire iron bridge.
This meant that from then on, this group of people would bid farewell to their past and embark on a new journey.
"What sects are there in this vicinity?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"There are three small sects, and the Wan Gu Sect's archenemy, the White Bone Sect," Zhang Bo replied respectfully.
"What is their strength?"
"There are five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and over thirty Golden Core Stage cultivators within the sect, with White Bone Madam having the highest cultivation at Yuan Ying Stage."
"The White Bone Sect's overall strength is slightly weaker than the Wan Gu Sect's, but White Bone Madam has a very good personal relationship with an outer elder of the Heavenly Fiend Alliance, so almost no one dares to provoke them in this area."
Upon hearing the name Heavenly Fiend Alliance, Fang Yuan and the other three had strange expressions.
Didn't the Hua Xia Sect, when they entered the central area of the Mo Yun Battlefield, wipe out the Heavenly Fiend Alliance as their first target?
They didn't expect to encounter them here as well.
"The Heavenly Fiend Alliance's headquarters are not in Cangyu Province, but in the neighboring Youzhou, but they have also established a branch here, obeying the orders of the Demon God Sect, jointly resisting the suppression from the Canglan Sect and the Yu Wei Sect, and various righteous Dao Sects."
"It is precisely because of the protection of these two sects that the demonic sects within the Copper Mausoleum Mountains have been able to survive."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan and the others immediately became interested. "Let's go, let's go meet this White Bone Sect first."
As dawn broke, over two thousand people rushed through the secret forest, finally stopping in a canyon.
At the bottom of the canyon, several hundred people were fighting each other, with more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.
"Whose sect are these people?" Fang Yuan stood on the cliff edge, watching the group of people fighting below.
He scanned the area; the highest cultivation was only Foundation Establishment peak, with most of the others being Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
"Reporting to the Great Sect Master, these are people from the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Blood Killing Sect," Zhang Bo respectfully said from the side.
"These two small sects were previously under the jurisdiction of the Wan Gu Sect, but later, as the White Bone Sect expanded its influence, it incorporated the territories of these two small sects into its own domain."
"The Wan Gu Sect just tolerated this?" Qin Hao asked with a frown.
Zhang Bo showed a helpless expression, sighing, "The White Bone Sect has the Heavenly Fiend Alliance backing them, so the Wan Gu Sect didn't dare to openly confront them. They could only resort to underhanded tricks behind their backs, occasionally causing trouble in their territory."
"For a demonic sect to stoop to your level, it's truly a disgrace," Fang Yuan spat.
"Today, I'll show you what it means to be a Demonic Dao!"
After speaking, Fang Yuan leaped, standing in the void, releasing a powerful pressure.
The people from the two sects in the canyon were intimidated by this pressure, their faces showing terror as they looked up at the void.
"Listen, everyone below, from now on, this place is the territory of the God Extinguishing Sect. Any sect wishing to establish roots here must obey the God Extinguishing Sect. Those who resist will be executed without mercy!"
The people from the two small sects looked at each other. A middle-aged man with a face full of knife scars stepped forward and said coldly,
"What God Extinguishing Sect? We've never heard of it. This is the White Bone Sect's territory. If you don't want to die, then scram..."
The man's words were cut short as his throat was suddenly constricted, and he struggled as his entire body slowly ascended into the air.
Bang—
The scarred man's body exploded, and blood rained down onto the crowd below.
Hundreds of people's pupils constricted sharply, their faces instantly turning pale.
They had completely underestimated the opponent's decisiveness; they acted without hesitation.
Some with meticulous minds had already guessed that this group was coming for the White Bone Sect and immediately obediently dropped their weapons.
Following that, more and more people dropped their weapons, without any thought of resistance.
In the demonic sects, whoever had the biggest fist was the boss; self-preservation was paramount.
"I'll give you half an incense stick of time. Call out all the people from your sects. If you don't arrive within the allotted time, the God Extinguishing Sect will personally come to destroy your sect!"
Whoosh—
The crowd stirred, rushing quickly back to their respective sects.
Fang Yuan and the others didn't wait too long. Soon, two forces arrived in a hurry, numbering roughly two thousand people in total.
Leading them were two middle-aged men, both at the Golden Core Stage mid-level.
Upon arrival, the two men immediately bowed to Fang Yuan and his group, "May I ask, esteemed sirs, what is your purpose in coming here?"
"Of course, it's to kill people and seize territory," Fang Yuan said indifferently.
Hearing this, the two men frowned, momentarily at a loss for words.
Such an arrogant attitude clearly showed that they did not put the White Bone Sect in their eyes.
"We are under the protection of the White Bone Sect. We hope, esteemed sirs, that for the sake of the White Bone Sect, you will not make things difficult for us."
The Blood Killing Sect Master wanted to use the White Bone Sect's name to test the other party.
But to his disappointment, Fang Yuan's expression remained normal, and he even taunted, "Now I'll give you a chance: call the people from the White Bone Sect, or you can even call those from the Heavenly Fiend Alliance."
At these words, the people from the two sects immediately erupted in an uproar.
Although the White Bone Sect was not too strong in this area, it had the Heavenly Fiend Alliance backing it. Not only did the other party disregard the White Bone Sect, they even dared to challenge the Heavenly Fiend Alliance.
Looking at the opponent's confident demeanor, either they had terrifying forces supporting them, or they were simply fools.
But how could someone of this age, who had already advanced to Golden Core Stage peak, have a problem with their mind?
Then there was only one possibility: the other party had a significant background, at least from a major force no weaker than the Heavenly Fiend Alliance.
Thinking of this, the two men immediately changed to respectful expressions, bowing and saying, "We will go and inform the White Bone Sect immediately."
With that, the two men quickly left.
...
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the White Bone Sect.
A woman dressed in loose robes leaned back on the main seat, one pale leg exposed, and her collar pulled down, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, with smooth skin and flirtatious eyes, every glance and smile exuding a seductive charm.
Below her sat an old man with his eyes closed, resting.
"Third Martial Uncle, has the Heavenly Fiend Alliance been making any moves recently? I heard that battles on the border have become more frequent. What's going on?"
The woman reclined on the chair, propping her head with one hand, showing a lazy posture.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just manage your White Bone Sect well," the old man slightly opened his eyes and said coldly.
The woman rolled her eyes, yawning, and said, "Why don't you transfer a portion of the Heavenly Fiend Alliance's forces here to help the White Bone Sect unify this area? Wouldn't that be simpler?"
"Do not mention this matter again. If the Heavenly Fiend Alliance were to openly establish a presence in Cangyu Province, it would only provoke a collective crusade from the righteous Dao Sects, and the gains would not outweigh the losses."
As the two spoke, a female disciple hurried into the hall, bowing respectfully, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the Blood Killing Sect Master and the Ghost Spirit Sect Master request an audience."
"What are these two doing here?" The woman felt a little puzzled and impatiently waved her hand, saying, "Let them in."
"Yes!"
Not long after, the two men hurried in. Upon seeing the old man also in the hall, their faces lit up, and they respectfully said, "We greet White Bone Madam and Elder Huangsha."
"What is it?" The woman slightly raised her eyes, playing with the skull in her hand.
The two secretly exchanged glances, and the Ghost Spirit Sect Master couldn't help but speak, "There is a force called the God Extinguishing Sect, clamoring to destroy the White Bone Sect, and even declaring that it would be best to bring the people from the Heavenly Fiend Alliance."
Bang—
As soon as the Ghost Spirit Sect Master finished speaking, all the tables next to the old man shattered, turning into dust.
"Who dares to be so arrogant?!" The old man's eyes burst with intense killing intent.
White Bone Madam, on the other hand, showed no great emotional fluctuation on her face, only a strong sense of curiosity in her eyes.
"We don't know the other party's background, we only know they are called the God Extinguishing Sect," the two respectfully replied.
"God Extinguishing Sect?" White Bone Madam and the old man exchanged glances.
"It's rather interesting. Such a resounding name, but I wonder if they can withstand the wrath of the Demon God Sect," White Bone Madam murmured softly.
"Where are they?"
"They are in Death Valley, a hundred li away."
"Notify everyone. All disciples of the White Bone Sect are to gather quickly in the central plaza."
