On the First Day of My Broken Engagement, I Was Rewarded with the Supreme Bone! - Chapter 35:

Chapter 35: Kill Them All! The Awakening of the Favored Child of Destiny, Lu Ming!:

(Inside the main hall of the Blood Puppet Sect)

Sect Master, along with three high-ranking elders who had reached the Profound Pill Realm, wore grave expressions. The atmosphere was tense.

Xue Sha said with a sinister expression, “We’ve offended the Azure Cloud Dao Sect. It seems we cannot stay in Tianluo Province any longer. I’ve ordered all elders and disciples to prepare. By dawn, everyone from the Blood Puppet Sect must leave Tianluo Province!”

“Hmph… If the Azure Cloud Sect seeks revenge, let them come. At worst, we’ll leave them with an empty shell of a sect,” he continued with a smirk. “Over the years, we’ve accumulated considerable resources in Tianluo Province. Even if we relocate, we can quickly establish ourselves as a powerful sect elsewhere.”

The three elders respectfully nodded.

However, one elder voiced his concern, “Just a moment ago, there was noise and laughter outside. Why is it so quiet now? And why haven’t the scouts or the puppets we placed in Tianluo Province reported back?”

Hearing this, Xue Sha’s eyes sharp as blades, narrowed in thought.

“Something’s wrong!” Xue Sha’s face suddenly changed as he realized the danger. “It’s possible that a master from the Azure Cloud Sect is already here! The puppets in Tianluo City must have been destroyed!”

“Follow me to the treasure vault. Take the treasures and leave. Forget about everyone else; we must save ourselves first!” Xue Sha commanded.

As long as he and the three elders, all at the Crimson Profound Realm, survived, they could rebuild anywhere.

However, before they could move, an indifferent voice echoed from outside the hall.

“You cannot escape. Today, everyone in the Blood Puppet Sect will die here.”

The door to the main hall opened slowly, revealing a man in blue robes and a girl without eyes—Lin Ang and Yiyi.

Lin Ang looked at them calmly, scanning their statuses.

Name: Xue Sha

Black Fate: Approaching death: Offended the Azure Cloud Sect, destined to die at their hands today, aged 46.

White Fate: Missed Opportunity: Three years ago, found a martial arts manual in an ancient tomb but couldn’t comprehend it, missing a chance for great power.

The other three elders had ordinary fates, marked only by approaching death.

“A Crimson Profound Realm master? You must be a leading figure of the Azure Cloud Sect.” Xue Sha speculated, his expression shifting. He still believed the situation could be salvaged if only one master had come.

“Honorable one, our sect mistakenly killed disciples of your sect. We’ve already executed the culprits to show our remorse. We are willing to leave Azure Cloud Sect’s territory forever. How about it?” Xue Sha offered, trying to negotiate.

Lin Ang replied coldy, “Noisy! I came today to kill everyone in the Blood Puppet Sect. Do you think I’m joking?”

As soon as Lin Ang finished speaking, he raised his sword, ‘Blue Origin,’ and channeled his powerful sword intent, enhanced by the ‘Azure Clouds Path of All Living Beings.’

With one strike, a brilliant beam of red and blue sword Qi cut through the air, slicing Xue Sha in half before he could react.

“Impossible!”

“No way!” The three remaining elders were terrified, seeing their invincible leader cut down without a sound. They immediately knelt, and begged for their lives.

“We didn’t order the attack on your disciples! It was a mistake by our subordinates! Please, spare us!” They pleaded, their voices trembling in fear.

Lin Ang’s expression remained indifferent. “There’s no need to speak.”

With another swing of his sword, the three elders were reduced to mere heads rolling on the floor.

“Yi Yi, collect their heads. We’ll return to the Azure Cloud Sect,” Lin Ang instructed.

The eyeless girl obediently nodded and started gathering the heads. Lin Ang took the storage rings from the fallen leaders and found an old martial arts manual in Xue Sha’s ring.

“This must be the manual for that powerful martial art.” Lin Ang thought with a faint smile.

…

Meanwhile, miles away…

In a pavilion for core disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, Lu Ming was in deep meditation. As his aura surged, he made a breakthrough into the 5th stage Soul Condensing Realm.

“Finally, I’ve reached the 5th stage Soul Condensing Realm,” Lu Ming said with satisfaction. He had recently heard that someone in the remote Netherworld City had seen nine ice dragons spiraling in the sky, pulling a seven-colored ice coffin. The sight had caused celestial phenomena and mirages of ancient palaces, indicating the emergence of a chaotic treasure.

“Such a treasure… If I can obtain it, I will surely rise to the top of the Dao Domain,” Lu Ming thought, determined to reach the secret realm where the treasure was said to be.

“I have over a month. With my master’s help, I can reach the 8th stage Soul Condensing Realm,” he resolved, though he realized his master’s appearances were becoming more infrequent, only showing up occasionally to guide his cultivation.
