Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1461 - 613: Scheming in the Shadows, Truth Revealed

"Alright."

Yue Wuya pondered for a moment: "Wutian, quickly handle this matter. Remember, today’s observations..."

"The disciple understands!"

Li Yunjing respectfully bowed, "Not a single word will be leaked!"

Zhou Dehai added with a sinister smile, "Especially ’Celestial Star Pavilion’, those undead old folks must be completely exterminated!"

"The disciple obeys."

Li Yunjing pretended to bow respectfully.

But as he turned away, a fleeting change appeared in his eyes.

After Li Yunjing left, Zhou Dehai suddenly lowered his voice, "Fellow Daoist Yue, my true target is actually..."

He moved his lips slightly, transmitting his voice secretly.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Wuya’s pupils contracted sharply: "You actually dare to eye that?!"

"What? Are you scared?"

Zhou Dehai mocked.

"Fine! I’ll join you in this madness!"

Yue Wuya took a deep breath, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes: "But after it’s done, I want half!"

"Thirty percent!"

Zhou Dehai was resolute, "Don’t forget, without my Demon Fiend Array, you can’t break the restriction at all!"

...

When Li Yunjing left the "Treasure Pavilion", the outside scene was shocking.

The entire auction venue had turned into a chaotic scene.

Hundreds of cultivators fell in battle, blood dyeing the sky red.

Even outside and inside "Celestial Star City", bodies were strewn everywhere.

Besides Yue Wuya and Zhou Dehai, two Nascent Soul Realm Masters, three old Nascent Soul cultivators made their move again!

The conflict spread widely; apart from two being experts from "Celestial Net Dao Sect" and "Celestial Star Pavilion," the third was probably Zhou Dehai’s recruited help.

Besides this person, there was a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators causing chaos!

These people killed whoever they saw!

Regardless of which side they were from.

Evidently, they were all secret subordinates of Zhou Dehai, specifically tasked with erasing traces, slaughtering everyone, and annihilating "Celestial Star City."

Li Yunjing moved like a ghostly shadow through the smoke-filled streets.

Along the way, he witnessed only tragic scenes.

Amidst broken walls and ruins, the bodies of cultivators and mortals lay piled up, blood formed rivulets, winding across the stone slabs.

"Help!"

A Qi Refinement stage female cultivator stumbled, with three black-clad cultivators in pursuit.

Li Yunjing’s eyes turned icy cold, with a flick of his sleeve, the flying sword shot out, and three flashes of light later, those three pursuers were instantly decapitated.

"Thank you, senior..."

The female cultivator, still in shock, knelt and kowtowed.

Li Yunjing suddenly struck her on the skull, and before she could even scream, she turned into a corpse.

"Blame yourself for seeing what you shouldn’t have seen."

He indifferently withdrew his hand and continued killing towards the city gate.

Now is not the time for indecision, if his identity information is exposed, he’s as good as dead.

Li Yunjing certainly wouldn’t sacrifice himself for momentary compassion.

Breaking through tumultuously, he slaughtered cultivators from various factions, numbering over a hundred; the distant city gate tower was already in sight.

There lay the core of the City Defense Array, currently besieged by over a dozen Golden Core Realm cultivators.

The defending "Celestial Net Dao Sect" disciples were retreating step by step, on the verge of defeat.

Besides Zhou Dehai’s men, those with ulterior motives, seeing the chaos erupt, also engaged in wanton killing and looting.

The city’s tragic scene was indeed like a purgatory in the mortal world.

These people recognized no camps; whoever wasn’t their own was an enemy. Li Yunjing couldn’t even recall how many times he’d been attacked.

"Perfect timing."

Li Yunjing’s mouth curved into a cold smile.

He took out a silver talisman and stuck it on his chest; his figure blurred instantly, and his aura became completely hidden.

Using the chaos as cover, he silently crept to the base of the city gate tower.

This was the most intense battleground; five "Celestial Net Dao Sect" Elders formed a Sword Array, staunchly guarding the array hub.

The besieging cultivators couldn’t break through for a moment.

"I surely won’t execute Zhou Dehai’s plan!"

"This person is ambitious, lurking in the shadows like a wolf!"

"I must expose him!"

"When ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ discovers their traitor’s deeds, they’ll surely prioritize hunting Zhou Dehai."

"This way I can create an opportunity for retreat for myself and ’Wuya Sect’!"

Li Yunjing silently ascended a section of the city wall, observing the surroundings coldly.

With a plan in mind, Li Yunjing threw a "Samadhi True Fire Talisman" on the city gate tower, with a "boom", blazing flames erupted, causing even more chaos.

Li Yunjing’s figure flashed, taking advantage of the blazing firelight, stealthily slipping into the side hall of the city gate tower.

This was the core treasure vault of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect", the guards had already been dispatched to the front lines.

"Open!"

He focused a beam of blue light at his fingertip, targeting the weakest point of the treasure vault restriction.

The restriction rippled like waves, silently splitting open a gap.

Inside the vault, treasures glistened, and various rare materials were neatly arranged.

Li Yunjing scanned the scene and began looting, indifferent to what the items were, he collected everything beneficial for cultivation.

Anyway, the Purple Gold Gourd’s space had been upgraded again; it could house a Treasure Mountain, a city, the mere resources of this vault were no burden at all.

Suddenly, his expression tensed as he sensed a powerful Divine Sense sweeping through the vault.

"Not good!"

Li Yunjing immediately crushed an "Escape Talisman", his figure vanished instantly.

Just as he departed, a sharp Sword Qi shattered the vault’s door into pieces!
