All the demons were amused, and Zhu Yan still had a mocking grin; he did not believe that there was an ambush. Wang Ke didn’t even know that I was coming, how could there be an ambush?This brat used to play all sorts of tricks with his words back then in the Great Qing Empire. Does he really think he can deceive me now?

“Where? Haha, where are your people? Wang Ke, you can’t deceive me. Don’t blame me for what I’m going to do to you today! You offended me without thinking first!” Zhu Yan walked over with his whip.

“Wang Ke, what should we do now?” Princess Youyue was distressed.

“Kill him. He’s a big liar! Ignore what he says!” She Tianba also urged the demons.

The Demons were about to engulf Wang Ke, but he continued to peer into the skies. And eventually, when Zhu Yan was right in front of him, a crane squeal was heard in the sky.

“Squeaak~~~~~~~!”

The squeal was heard at a distance; Wang Ke silently heaved a sigh of relief.

“Haha! My senior apprentice-brothers are here!” Wang Ke chuckled.

The demons looked over and saw a person standing on a crane. They could faintly hear the person shouting on the crane.

“Senior apprentice-brother, over there! Come, quick! Senior apprentice-brother, come~~~~~~~~~!” the person on the crane yelled.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak…!”

Numerous cranes flew over from all directions, each of them carrying a powerful cultivator. They rushed over to the She Clan’s courtyard, where Wang Ke was in.

“Disciples of the Golden Crow Sect? They really are disciples of the Golden Crow Sect!” the demons cried out.

“There’s really an ambush? It’s real?” Another demon was baffled.

“We fell for their trick! Zhu Yan, how dare you lie to us!” Yet another demon vociferated.

……………………

………………

……

The demons immediately turned their angry eyes to Zhu Yan. This dumba** really tricked us to get us killed here?

“How? How could this be?” Zhu Yan muttered in disbelief with eyes wide open.

A demon who was still thinking straight quickly defended Zhu Yan, “I don’t think Zhu Yan is the one who made us fall into this trap because he’s also been demonized; the righteous sects would not tolerate his existence!”

“That’s right! I’m already a demon; how could I collude with the righteous sects? It’s Wang Ke! He’s the one who tricked you!” Zhu Yan cried out immediately.

“Hmm?” Everyone turned their eyes toward Wang Ke.

What to do when a lie is exposed? Use another lie to cover it up, of course!

“Humph, indeed. Zhu Yan didn’t know that my senior apprentice-brothers had set up an ambush. It’s precisely because he knew nothing that he was able to in your trust! That is why you fell for it! Hahaha, Zhu Yan, thank you so much! Hahahaha!” Wang Ke cackled.

Zhu Yan: “.............................!”

The demons: “..........................!”

Everything is clear now, crystal clear. Zhu Yan was fooled into bringing us to this trap?This isn't Zhu Yan’s fault; we can only lay the blame on the cunning righteous sects!They allowed Zhu Yan to escape so they could later catch us all?

“Demons, today you shall die! I’ll have you know, my senior apprentice-brothers prepared this for a long time just to kill you; they prepared countless enchanted artifacts to use against you. All of you will die here if you’re even a little careless. No mercy!” Wang Ke cried out.

The demons instantly became nervous, not even pausing for a moment to think why would Wang Ke “leak” the righteous sects’ preparations.

It’s good that he told us that! We can be more careful now that we know that they made a lot of preparations! Uh no, it’s useless to be more careful. We must remain on the offense and not listen to their cunning words; we must kill them before they even speak. No mercy for us?No… we’re going to kill them first!

“Take out your weapons, don’t waste your breath talking to them. Kill them all!” a demon roared.

“Yes, sir!” the rest acknowledged.

The demons instantly unleashed a surging demonic Qi. Their swords slashed toward the incoming group of cranes.

----------

The Golden Crow Sect’s disciples were already furious since they had not been able to catch Zhang Zhengdao. They thought that Wang Ke had to be close by, so they quickly started looking. One could say that the cranes had already activated their radar-like eyes; Wang Ke would be instantly locked-on the moment he entered their sight range.

A familiar scene emerged in Zhang Shenxu’s mind right after hearing the explosion from afar.

Zhang Shenxu had seen the Grand Ceremonial Light twice already; both had been activated by Wang Ke. Why a third time?Could it be Wang Ke again?

“Senior apprentice-brother, over there! Come, quick! Senior apprentice-brother, come~~~~~~~~~!” a junior disciple cried out to him.

“Coming! Hahaha, let’s go there together and tear him into pieces!” Zhang Shenxu roared excitedly.

“Roger!”

All his junior disciples cheered as all the cranes beelined toward the Zhu Cultivation Town at an extreme speed.

Zhang Shenxu—still flying high up in the air—quickly located Wang Ke who was at ground level.

“Is it really him?” Zhang Shenxu stared into his eyes.

Wang Ke wore a black robe because he wanted to show his grief for his deceased clan members and mobilize the town’s cultivators. The color of his robe coincidentally matched the demons’. At a glance, one would think they were on good terms, cooperating.

Wang Ke is definitely in cahoots with those men dressed in black robes!

Why is Princess Youyue here?Well, we can check that later. More importantly, Wang Ke rounded up a bunch of guys and they are waiting for me to come?How arrogant!You must be tired of living!

Zhang Shenxu swooped down with his juniors and immediately saw Wang Ke’s “comrades” enveloping themselves with billowing black Qi.

“Demonic Qi? They are demons? Why is Wang Ke mingling with demons?” Zhang Shenxu was shocked.

Wang Ke is Chen Tianyuan’s disciple; there’s no way he would fall by the wayside to the point that he would turn into a demon! Still, all his companions are demons?And all their swords are pointed at me?Did he intentionally find some demons to fight us?

Wang Ke, how dare you side with demons. No one can save you now! Zhang Shenxu had a sinister look on his face.

When his crane was about to reach Wang Ke, Zhang Shenxu was getting ready to mock him first. However, Wang Ke beat him to the punch.

“Don’t waste your words with them. Kill them, kill them all! Leave no one alive; No mercy!” Wang Ke roared.

The demons thought he was yelling at his “senior apprentice-brothers,” while Zhang Shenxu and his juniors thought that Wang Ke was yelling at his “comrades!”

Kill us?Dream on!

“Boooom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!”

A battle between the righteous and demonic sects escalated quickly. Their weapons clashed, and the outburst of their Qi was swept out in all directions. A battle between a pair of Golden Core Stage cultivators was already at a cataclysmic level, let alone when a bunch of them were fighting! How horrifying! The She Clan’s buildings were rendered into countless fragments of bricks and stones; a dust storm veiled the whole sky.

The town’s residents moved further away while looking back to admire the scene.

“Clan Lord Wang is really awesome! How long has he been since he entered the immortal sect? Look at him now, already this influential. Even Golden Core Stage cultivators listen to his orders? He’s really something!”
