Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

882: Chapter 11: Massacre 882: Chapter 11: Massacre Han State capital city, within the Wind Gate stronghold, a man of the Yaksha Clan announced a piece of alarming news to all the Wind Gate members.

“I didn’t expect that, without realizing it, you’ve already connected with the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.” His face was as hideous as a ghoul’s, yet he was incredibly well-informed.

In this realm, even as a member of a different clan, one was aware of the strength of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.

A young Wind Gate man furrowed his brow, asking, “How did you come by this information?”
The Yaksha Clan man grinned, replying, “It’s not just your Human Clan that’s well-informed, we also have our own channels for news.”
Since it had been pointed out, there was no further need for the young Wind Gate man to conceal anything, so he nodded and acknowledged it.

“Right now, His Royal Highness Gu Yan, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, is in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm.

The dynasty wants to prepare more heaven-and-earth treasures for His Royal Highness, to help him achieve even greater success in the Cave Heaven Realm and eventually to reach the ultimate realm.”
The Yaksha Clan man nodded in realization, saying, “So, with the impending emergence of the extreme frigid island, they’re setting their sights on this place?”
“Yes,” confirmed the Wind Gate man.

The extreme frigid island would open only once every few thousand years.

Even within this realm, it was considered a rare and precious land, containing various extraordinary opportunities and heaven-and-earth treasures.

It was said that the founder of the Frost Soul Sect had received his legacy on the extreme frigid island and then established the sect.

However, for many years, the extreme frigid island had been under the control of the Frost Soul Sect, making it inaccessible to other forces.

The establishment of Night Spirit Valley by the Yaksha Clan, as well as Wind Gate’s conflicts with the Frost Soul Sect—much of it was because of the extreme frigid island.

According to rumors, even now the extreme frigid island held great secrets.

Over the countless years, many areas remained unexplored by the Frost Soul Sect.

For such a place of treasures, it was normal for the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty to take interest.

But instead of getting directly involved, they chose to make contact with Wind Gate.

Wind Gate was merely a sacred land, and without any supreme powerhouse within, they were very willing to collaborate with the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.

“Therefore, we must succeed today in taking someone from the Frost Soul Sect hostage in exchange for a spot to enter the extreme frigid island,” stated the young Wind Gate man gravely.

This was an absolute command from the sect’s high-level leaders, so the man had partnered with the Yaksha Clan man.

They first ambushed Gu Qingyan during her outing but failed to succeed.

Then, they turned their sights to her second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, and her aunt, Xu Qinge, only to fail once more.

“Rest assured, today, we’ll catch them in the act.

No one from the Frost Soul Sect shall escape!” chuckled the Yaksha Clan man sinisterly.

His laughter was somewhat chilling, like a wraith howling, making the Wind Gate members uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, at a distance, Gu Chen, who was attempting to discern everything through his heavenly eyes, suddenly turned stern-faced.

He hadn’t expected Wind Gate and the Yaksha Clan to set a trap for the Frost Soul Sect tonight.

Furthermore, within the Frost Soul Sect, which used to be a towering force, there appeared to be a traitor.

Gu Chen hadn’t anticipated this—he had intended to take action himself, to scout the situation first.

If possible, he would eradicate Wind Gate and the Yaksha Clan’s foothold in the city, demanding some interest in advance.

But instead, he stumbled upon this astonishing information.

At the same time, Gu Chen couldn’t help but lament the irony of crossing paths with Gu Yan.

And now again the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty was involved.

“Being a dominant force in this realm, they are indeed everywhere,” Gu Chen murmured to himself.

“Perfect, this is hitting two birds with one stone!” Gu Chen’s eyes grew colder.

Just then, within the Wind Gate stronghold, something unexpected happened.

“The Frost Soul Sect has arrived!” The leading young man of Wind Gate, together with the forces of Night Spirit Valley, shifted in alarm as they sensed someone approaching.

Now, not far from the Wind Gate stronghold, about twenty disciples of the Frost Soul Sect moved stealthily under the cover of night, led by a young woman.

Due to the Yin-natured heart method of the Frost Soul Sect, there were more female disciples than males within the sect.

Additionally, the characteristics of their cultivation method meant that typically, the position of Sect Leader of the Frost Soul Sect was held by a woman.

While there had been male Sect Leaders in history, they were exceptionally rare and emerged but once in many years.

“Be careful.” The lead woman from the Frost Soul Sect wore a grave expression.

Her face was as delicate as an egg, her complexion fair and features graceful, a true natural beauty.

Broadly speaking, whether it was the Frost Soul Sect, Wind Gate, or Night Spirit Valley taking part in the mission, they were all within the Martial Path realm.

This was an unspoken agreement among the three parties.

If an elder or a middle-aged practitioner beyond the Martial Path took action, it would shift the nature of the conflict.

This could potentially trigger a full-blown war between the three factions.

Hence, even though they were ambushing Gu Qingyan, they had sent warriors of the Sky Human Realm, not monks of the Cave Heaven Realm or even higher realms.

Behind the Frost Soul Sect woman, everyone concealed their presence, unaware that their actions had already been exposed.

They carefully approached the Wind Gate stronghold, planning to catch the other side by surprise.

“Charge in!”
When they reached the Wind Gate stronghold, the people of the Frost Soul Sect held their breath.

The next moment, they shattered the main gate and charged inside.

However, to their surprise, the inside of the Wind Gate stronghold was unusually quiet, and there wasn’t even anyone guarding the gate.

This sent a chill through the hearts of the Frost Soul Sect members.

Clap clap clap!

Suddenly, applause broke out as the dim environment became brightly lit.

Wind Gate disciples and Yaksha Clan warriors, who had been lying in wait, surged out from all sides, encircling the members of the Frost Soul Sect instead.
