Chapter 45 Returning to Liangzhou
"When...when did you...?"
The Dark Pavilion Master said in shock.
He had no idea when Lu Bing appeared behind him or when he killed the Dark Pavilion members.
After realizing what was happening, he decided to take action.
But Lu Bing was faster, striking him directly in the dantian...
"Pfft~"
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his life force waned...
"Pavilion Master!"
Upon seeing this, the other two Nascent Soul experts' expressions changed drastically, and they shouted anxiously.
However, they needed to maintain the large formation and couldn't offer any assistance; they could only watch helplessly...
"You destroyed my cultivation?"
The Dark Pavilion Master's dantian shattered, and his spiritual power rapidly dissipated, leaving him indistinguishable from an ordinary mortal in the blink of an eye...
His body could no longer maintain its flying posture and he began to fall downwards...
However, Lu Bing grabbed him and sent him flying into the distance.
The great formation was in grave danger without the most important core, the Dark Pavilion Master, and the blood-red figure was greatly affected.
Boom~~
In no time, Guan Yu slashed with his blade, cleaving the blood-red killing god in two...
"Pfft~"
With the Blood God of Slaughter vanquished, all the members of the Dark Pavilion suffered a backlash, spitting out blood and turning pale. Some of the weaker cultivators even died on the spot...
After Zhao Yun and Guan Yu dealt with the Blood God of Slaughter, they returned to the sky above the Dark Pavilion.
Lu Bing was already waiting here, carrying the unconscious Dark Pavilion Master in his hand.
"The two generals are truly valiant, so easily dispatching that killing god comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage..."
Lu Bing smiled and said to the two of them.
"All of this is thanks to Commander Lu! If you hadn't solved the key to that formation, it would probably have taken General Guan and me a long time to defeat this Blood God of Slaughter."
Zhao Yun cupped his hands in greeting and said.
Although the two of them had been fighting the Blood God of Slaughter the whole time, they were fully aware of what had just happened...
If Lu Bing hadn't crippled the Dark Pavilion Master, who was the core of the formation, they probably wouldn't have been able to defeat their opponents in such a short time.
It should be noted that although both of them are at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they are skilled in military operations rather than individual combat, so their ability to fight beyond their level is not that strong.
The Crimson God of Slaughter had gathered the spiritual power of hundreds of people from the Dark Pavilion, and his strength had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He was only one step away from entering the Void Refinement stage. Although they were not at a disadvantage in their battle, they could not end the fight quickly.
"Lord Lu, why don't you just kill this man? What's the point of keeping him alive?"
Guan Yu looked at the figure Lu Bing was carrying with a puzzled expression and spoke.
"Haha! General Guan, you are unaware! Our Embroidered Uniform Guard's control over the Qin Dynasty is now virtually all-pervasive, but we know very little about the forces outside of Qin, after all, our manpower is limited..."
"This Dark Pavilion is enormous, spanning multiple dynasties, and even having an presence within the Imperial Dynasty..."
"Therefore, I spared the Dark Pavilion Master's life to see if I could extract any information from him..."
Lu Bing explained with a smile.
"Hmm! I see!"
Zhao Yun and Guan Yu nodded, their expressions showing a hint of realization.
"Alright, now that we've dealt with these people from the Dark Pavilion, let's go back and report to His Highness!"
Lu Bing spoke up.
Zhao Yun and Guan Yu naturally had no objections. They first killed all the remaining elders and members of the Dark Pavilion, and then packed up and took away all the cultivation resources and rare treasures of the Dark Pavilion.
Finally, after completely destroying the Dark Pavilion's headquarters, the three left satisfied.
Not long after they left, a group of people arrived.
This group of people had sharp eyes and exuded a powerful aura.
Judging from their cultivation levels, they were all above the Golden Core stage!
The most powerful among them has even reached the Nascent Soul stage!
These people were of high status, being the heads of various families and sect leaders in Qizhou.
After noticing the unusual commotion, they immediately rushed over to investigate.
"This place... actually hides such a vast complex of buildings; we've never even heard of it before..."
A clan patriarch stared at the dilapidated buildings below, his face filled with astonishment as he exclaimed.
"Was that earth-shattering battle just now fought right here?" another person asked, frowning.
"Judging from the situation here, it seems very similar to what happened to the Qi family! It must have been done by the same group of people. But... who exactly is hiding here?"
"Never mind that for now! Look at this magnificent and massive building. The power that occupies this place must be extraordinary, perhaps even comparable to the Qi family! They must control a vast amount of valuable resources..."
"If we only get a small share, the sect's strength will increase by leaps and bounds, reaching a new level..."
The sect leader looked down, his eyes gleaming with boundless greed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped without hesitation and sped straight down.
The others, witnessing this scene, cursed inwardly but dared not slacken in the slightest, and followed closely behind, surging downwards like a tide.
"No, there's nothing at all?"
"How could this be?"
"There's not a single hair left!"
"What a beast!"
"..."
A moment later, the sounds of clan leaders and sect masters breaking through their defenses echoed from within the Dark Pavilion's base.
...............
Liangzhou.
Shuoyang City. Lu Bing and his two companions went straight to the Prince's Mansion to report to Ying Chen.
"Your Highness, the Qi family and the Dark Pavilion have been wiped out. I have also dispatched Imperial Guards to assassinate any Qi family members who are still living outside the family. I will absolutely not allow a single member of the Qi family to survive..."
Lu Bing knelt on one knee beside Ying Chen and began to speak.
Ying Chen put down his book, looked up, and said, "Well done! Thank you for your hard work!"
"It is our honor to serve Your Highness, it is no trouble at all!"
The three of them spoke in unison.
Ying Chen shook his head helplessly. The characters summoned by this system were good in every way, except that they seemed to be a little too loyal to him.
However, this is also a good thing, at least we don't have to worry about a rebellion.
"You're feeling better now!"
Ying Chen waved his hand and said.
The three of them stood up and stood there respectfully.
"Zilong, Yunchang, you two go and rest first! Lu Bing, stay behind!"
Ying Chen addressed the three of them.
"Here!"
After Zhao Yun and Guan Yu bowed, they left the study, leaving Lu Bing standing alone.
