#21 - Chapter 21: The Corpse Takes Action
Outside the ancestral land.
"Brother Jiang Shang, we should leave now, no need to see us off any further."
The Qing Elder of the Tai Xuan Holy Land bid farewell.
Jiang Shang was the old man who usually chatted with Jiang Ning, and Jiang Yu's father.
He held a very high seniority in the Jiang family of the Great Xia Dynasty, and was considered Jiang Ning's grand-uncle.
Jiang Shang's aged face revealed a smile, "Elders of the Holy Land, please take care on your journey."
The three Heaven-Human Realm Elders of the Tai Xuan Holy Land prepared to lead their disciples away.
Wang Youning glanced at the Jiang Clan's ancestral land again, her expression somewhat complicated.
Gu Jinghong stepped forward, wanting to speak with Wang Youning, but she ignored him.
He was met with a cold shoulder, and a sinister look flashed across his face, quickly concealed.
This time, Gu Jinghong had gained absolutely nothing.
Wang Youning was extremely indifferent to him, speaking very little, and their relationship had not progressed at all.
He didn't know why, but for a month, he hadn't obtained a single inheritance.
Just then, demonic energy surged, and demonic might enveloped the entire area.
"Roar~"
The demonic roar shook the heavens, causing the weaker Tai Xuan disciples to fall to the ground in pain.
Even Wang Youning and Gu Jinghong's faces turned pale.
"The demonic figures from the Demon Sect have come!"
"What audacity, the people of the Demon Sect actually dare to invade the territory of my Tai Xuan Holy Land."
Elder Qing was furious, his face ashen.
The other two Heaven-Human Realm Elders unleashed their auras, protecting the Tai Xuan disciples within.
Usually, Heaven-Human Realm experts would not casually intrude on the territories of the three great Holy Lands.
After all, losing a Heaven-Human Realm great cultivator was a huge loss.
If it weren't for the two big fish this time, it wouldn't be worth the risk.
"Elder Qing, don't put up a futile resistance, today you will all die, haha."
Amidst the endless demonic energy, six Heaven-Human Realm Elders from the Six Paths of the Demon Sect stepped out.
Their cold, murderous gazes fixed on the group from the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
They exuded a terrifying demonic might that made people feel as if they were facing an abyss.
"Demonic figures, cease your impudence."
"How can you be allowed to act wildly in the ancestral land of my Great Xia Jiang Clan!"
"When my Jiang Clan suppressed the Xuanhuang world, your Six Paths of the Demon Sect could only tremble in fear. Now you dare to come to the ancestral land to cause trouble, you're seeking death."
Explosive shouts came from all directions.
The experts hidden in the Jiang Clan's ancestral land emerged one after another.
A total of six Heaven-Human Realm great cultivators, their auras soaring to the sky, their power engulfing all directions.
"Except for the old man Jiang Shang, the rest of the Jiang Clan are not worth mentioning."
An elder of the Evil Extreme Sect sneered.
They were all at the peak of the Heaven-Human Realm.
Only the Quasi-Saint Jiang Shang posed a threat to them.
Therefore, they had cultivated the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Grand Formation, precisely to deal with Jiang Shang.
"Arrogant!"
The six Heaven-Human Realm elders of the Jiang Clan charged forward.
The Evil Extreme Sect elder sneered and used an evil Gu technique.
Instantly, the sky was filled with black, disgusting flying insects, rushing towards the Jiang Clan elders like a rainstorm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle was exceptionally fierce.
Two elders had already been bitten by the Gu insects, screaming in agony.
"Demonic figures from the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, cease your impudence."
At this moment, the three Heaven-Human Realm great cultivators of the Tai Xuan Holy Land charged forward.
"Let's go together!"
The remaining five Heaven-Human Realm elders of the Demon Sect also took action.
Those in the Heaven-Human Realm could already use the power of heaven and earth.
The destructive power that erupted was incomparably terrifying.
Wang Youning and the other ten disciples of the Tai Xuan Holy Land retreated to a great distance.
"Is this the power of the Heaven-Human Realm using the power of heaven and earth? So powerful!"
The Tai Xuan disciples all revealed terrified expressions.
Above the void, various terrifying combat skills and divine powers erupted continuously, dazzling and intense.
The battle was exceptionally fierce.
Although the three elders of the Tai Xuan Holy Land had joined the battle.
However, the elders of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect were all at the ninth level of the Heaven-Human Realm, incomparably powerful.
They were completely overwhelming the Great Xia and Tai Xuan Holy Land side.
The Evil Extreme Sect elder used evil techniques, summoning countless night bats to bite a Jiang Clan elder until his flesh was a bloody mess.
The Emotion Severing Hall elder unleashed a ruthless sword strike, cutting out a hundred-foot-long blazing sword light, almost splitting a Jiang Clan elder in half.
The elder of the Gate of Hell hid in the shadows, seizing the opportunity to stab Elder Qing.
"Puchi!" Elder Qing was injured, "Despicable!" he cursed angrily.
"Hahaha, the Tai Xuan Holy Land and the Jiang Clan are nothing more than this."
The people of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect laughed triumphantly.
"It seems that I, who has one foot in the grave, must take action today."
Jiang Shang said calmly.
Boom!
An extremely terrifying aura erupted, as terrifying as a volcanic eruption.
With a single palm strike, a brilliant light shot into the sky.
The terrifying power was like a sea wave, surging towards the elders of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect.
This was the power of a Quasi-Saint, many times stronger than the Heaven-Human Realm.
"Old man Jiang Shang, we have prepared something for you."
The elders of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect formed a formation and used the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Grand Formation.
The formation trapped Jiang Shang within it.
Boom!
Six black lights, emitting extremely evil power, strangled Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang's expression changed drastically, he did not expect these demonic figures to be so resourceful.
"Puchi!"
Under the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Grand Formation, although Jiang Shang was a Quasi-Saint, he could not hold on for long and was defeated.
"What?"
"Even the Quasi-Saint Jiang Shang has been defeated, we're finished."
The three elders of the Tai Xuan Holy Land looked pale.
"We're finished."
The Jiang Clan's forces also looked despairing.
"Hahaha, today we will not only kill the Tai Xuan Holy Land group, but also cleanse the Jiang Clan's ancestral land."
The demonic figures laughed triumphantly and arrogantly.
Their voices spread throughout the entire ancestral land.
Originally, the attack of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect had nothing to do with Jiang Ning.
Nor did he intend to take action.
However, these demonic figures did not know what was good for them and actually claimed to cleanse the Jiang Clan's ancestral land.
This angered Jiang Ning.
If I don't provoke you, you insist on cleansing me, then I won't be polite.
"Since you of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect are courting death, then I will send you on your way," Jiang Ning said.
At this moment, a pale-faced figure in a bamboo hat appeared beside Jiang Ning.
"Master!" The spirit corpse Jiang Yu respectfully saluted.
Jiang Ning coldly ordered, "Go, eliminate all the people from the Six Paths of the Demon Sect."
Invincible below a Saint, Jiang Yu's strength was enough to shake the six Heaven-Human Realm great cultivators of the Demon Sect.
Jiang Yu excitedly licked his lips.
Bloodthirst was the instinct of a zombie.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.
……
At this time, the elders of the Tianxuan Holy Land and the Jiang clan were defeated, and even Jiang Shang, the guardian quasi-sage of the Jiang clan, was defeated in the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Great Array.
The Tianxuan disciples and the Jiang clan members were all full of despair.
The demon sect was too strong and could not be stopped at all.
Gu Jinghong said in fear: "I don't want to die."
He was of noble status and naturally did not want to fall into the hands of the demon sect like this.
Wang Youning bit her lip tightly and made up her mind to commit suicide.
She knew very well how miserable the fate of a woman like her would be if she fell into the hands of the demon sect.
"Who can save us?"
The Jiang clan members prayed loudly one by one.
"I thought that as descendants of the Great Emperor, the Jiang clan would be bigger than a skinny camel and still have some foundation."
"Seeing it today has disappointed us too much. There is no one who can fight."
"Is that all?"
"The Jiang clan deserves to be famous among the imperial clans."
"Jiang Shang, what other trump cards does your Jiang clan have? Otherwise there will be no chance."
The elders of the demon sect said triumphantly one by one.
Excitedly.
Jiang Shang looked ashen.
The Jiang clan had really declined to the point where it had no trump cards.
"It turns out that the Jiang clan is a paper tiger and has declined to the point where it has no trump cards at all."
"After today, many people who covet the stele forest will no longer be afraid of the Jiang clan coming to kill them."
One of the reasons why the stele forest can guarantee safety is that everyone is afraid of the former imperial clan heritage of the Jiang clan.
Now that it has been learned that the Jiang clan has no trump cards left, they are naturally not afraid.
"Who else is there?"
"Since the Jiang clan has no more trump cards, then we will start killing."
The elder of the demon sect shouted loudly, very arrogantly.
At this moment, a cold young man wearing a hat appeared out of thin air.
"I'm here to destroy you."
The voice was cold and without any emotion.
