《Eternal Sacred King》Chapter 405: How Tragic!
Advertisement
In the skies, more than ten figures rode on their flying swords.
Their leader was a handsome man in luxurious robes. With eyes that were crystalline like glass, he exuded a unique aura that attracted everyone’s attention.
He was none other than the commander for Glass Palace’s expedition, Pei Chunyu.
Glass Palace’s group was about to arrive at Poison Sect at the city’s south.
At the same time, another group of cultivators rode on their flying swords from the direction opposite of Glass Palace. Wearing black robes, they were none other than Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators.
The two major sects were not far from one another and could even see the other through the skies.
“Reporti—”
Right then, a Glass Palace cultivator sped over with a frantic expression. His eyes could barely contain his shock as he gulped before struggling to say, “Senior Brother Pei, Poison Sect is… no more.”
“Oh,”
Pei Chunyu replied and wasn’t too bothered.
After a slight pause, he frowned and returned to his senses. Gazing at his underling’s face, he asked slowly with an increasingly sharp expression, “What did you just say? Repeat yourself?”
The other Glass Palace cultivators looked at that person confusedly, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
The reporting cultivator chuckled bitterly and shook his head. “Poison Sect’s faction in the ancient battlefield is gone. Almost all the Poison Sect cultivators were massacred by Su Zimo.”
The Glass Palace group was shocked.
“How is that possible?!”
Almost at the same time, Pei Chunyu and Xue Yang felt their hearts skip a beat as they exclaimed.
They exchanged glances through the void. There was a Malevolent Earth Sect cultivator standing in front of Xue Yang as well, relaying the same message.
Realizing that they had lost their composure, both of them took a deep breath and calmed themselves down.
Pei Chunyu gripped his fists tightly and narrowed his eyes, asking with grit teeth, “What about Du Kai of Poison Sect? What about their traps? What about the Seven Lethals? The hundred odd cultivators of Poison Sect?”

“This…”
The Glass Palace cultivator paused for a moment before sighing. “They’re all gone.”
They’re all gone.
Those three simple words revealed a hint of exasperation, shock, fear and endless emotions.
Poison Sect, one of the five heretical doctrines!
A faction that even Glass Palace wasn’t willing to provoke personally was destroyed by that person alone.
Everyone present stood dumbfounded on their flying swords in midair with agape mouths. The three words lingered in their minds and they couldn’t snap out of it.
All the Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators quietened down.
In the vast skies, the atmosphere was strangely tense.
A moment later, a Glass Palace cultivator could not help but ask warily, “Senior Brother Pei, are we still going to watch the show?”
Initially, they were accompanying Pei Chunyu to watch how tragically Su Zimo would die.
But now, everyone gave up on that thought upon receiving the news.
Pei Chunyu’s gaze flickered and his expression was indeterminate.
Pondering briefly, Pei Chunyu’s eyes shone with immense killing intent as he remarked darkly, “Go! All the more we have to go check things out because of this!”
At the same time, the fiend heir of Malevolent Earth Sect, Xue Yang, made a similar decision on the other side.
Both of them thought about the same thing.
Poison Sect was one of the five heretical doctrines after all and had more than a hundred cultivators with seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators among them.
Even if Su Zimo managed to exterminate Poison Sect, it must have been an arduous battle.
Even if Su Zimo wasn’t severely injured right now, he was most likely at his weakest and might even be riddled with poison from head to toe – this was the best time to kill that man!
Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect were immortal and fiend sects respectively. Throughout history, immortals and fiends have always been on opposing ends and would never join forces in the open.
However, at that moment, Pei Chunyu and Xue Yang exchanged glances and had a tacit understanding.

“Let’s go!”
Pei Chunyu ordered and sped forth with the Glass Palace cultivators towards Poison Sect at the city’s south.
…
On the long street connecting North and South.
Speeding with the large group of cultivators, Tang Yu and Feng Manman arrived in the vicinity of Poison Sect before long.
There was a large crowd of cultivators before them, packed densely and watching keenly.
It was unknown what the cultivators saw but their eyes were filled with shock. When Tang Yu’s group arrived, a passage was immediately squeezed out for them.
Suddenly, a fat and rotund figure charged through the crowd, greeting them with delight, “Senior Brother Ji, Sister Leng! You guys are here too!”
That was none other than little fatty who had just joined Tomb Sect. Shi Jian who had just joined Puppet Sect was at the side as well.
The two of them had not changed much during that ten odd days.
Little fatty seemed like he had grown a little fatter and Shi Jian still looked foolish as ever.
Tomb Sect and Puppet Sect were part of the five heretical doctrines and were situated at the city’s south to begin with.
When something happened to Poison Sect, it was natural that the both of them were the first to arrive.
“How’s everything inside?”
Ji Chengtian asked softly with a grim expression.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
Pouting his lips, little fatty laughed with raised brows. “You guys are too late and missed everything! Hehe! Tragic! It’s truly tragic!”
“Ah!”
When she heard that, Tang Yu’s eyes dimmed as she mumbled to herself as if she had lost her soul, “We were still too late? It’s my fault. I should have guessed it. I could have stopped you…”
Tang Yu was flustered and did not notice little fatty’s expression and tone.
However, Ji Chengtian and Leng Rou frowned.
In theory, little fatty should be more anxious and sadder than anyone else if something had happened to Su Zimo – why would he be in such a gloating mood?
Little fatty was stunned when he saw Tang Yu’s reaction.
At the side, Feng Manman raised her brow lightly and pulled Tang Yu into her embrace. Glaring at little fatty, she chided, “Fatty, shut up!”
Little fatty was even more stunned.
“Was I wrong?”
Unable to comprehend what was going on, he turned to Shi Jian and asked, “Silly Jian, what’s going on?”
Shi Jian was puzzled as well as he scratched his head. Looking at Ji Chengtian and the others, he asked in seriousness, “Brother Ji, why did you guys bring so many people along to watch the show? Man, anyone who didn’t know better might think that you guys are out for a fight!”
Ji Chengtian could not help but roll his eyes. “Zimo is fine?”
“Yeah? Alive and hopping!” Little fatty replied.
“Ah?
Bouncing from Feng Manman’s embrace, Tang Yu blinked and asked without wiping the tears from her eyes. “B-But you said that it was tragic? Truly tragic…”
“I meant that it was tragic for Poison Sect.”
“… ”
Everyone was dumbfounded and froze on the spot, unable to take the facts in for a moment.
Right then, a Poison Sect cultivator stained with blood ran in their directions, staggering with a frightful face.
Swoosh!
He had not gotten far when a cold light flashed behind him.
An arrow pierced his back with a swoosh, protruding out from his chest with blood everywhere!
The person’s eyes dimmed and took a couple more steps forward before collapsing to his death.
Everyone turned instinctively towards the direction where the arrow came from.
At the entrance of Poison Sect’s residence, a green-robed cultivator strode over with a calm expression and a bright gaze. In fact, there weren’t even any traces of blood on him as he put away the moon-colored gigantic bow in his hands into his storage bag with a calm expression.
At the same time, the Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect groups arrived to witness that scene.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Those Zombies Again
One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.PSFirst of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont get their description or even names.Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.Its probably the opposite.There are some standards which novel usually sticks to in order to become popular. Obviously i did not meet those standards at all.
