    Targeted

    “Arghhhh!”


    Both the first and third ancestors screamed in unison.


    The next moment, the spiritual light on their bodies flickered rapidly, and they were bombarded with a series of attacks that shattered their defenses.


    In no time, both the third and first ancestors of Celestialw Sect, like the second and fourth, had their eyes turn into a deep, abyssal ck, and grotesque, twisting tumors began to writhe under their skin.


    Apanying this transformation were sinister and eerie ck shadows that fluttered and danced around them.


    A few yearster.


    In the Nova Waters.


    On the Spiritual Ind of the Vast River.


    Perfected Lord Vast River looked at the message brought by his disciple, his face turning grim.


    He turned to his disciple, Guan Xinting, and asked in a deep voice,


    “What’s going on? Haven’t we figured out what’s happening yet?”


    Guan Xinting wore a bitter smile and shook her head,


    ‘We still haven’t found the exact cause. Junior Brother Yun Zicheng and the others have vanished as if they evaporated from this world.


    It’s the same as those previous disappearances.”


    As it turned out,


    Just half a year ago.


    The forces near the Ind of the Vast River’s domain began to experience a series of disappearances.


    Initially, these cases were few and didn’t attract much attention.


    However, as time passed, more and more people disappeared, including theplete disappearance of entire sects and families.


    Now, even within the Spiritual Ind of the Vast River, people were vanishing, including Yun Zicheng, the direct disciple of Perfected Lord Vast River.


    Even Perfected Lord Vast River, the master of the ind, couldn’t stay uninvolved and emerged from seclusion to personally investigate.


    However, the results were disappointing.


    Despite extensive investigations, they found nothing, not even a clue as to how Yun Zicheng and the others disappeared.


    It was as if an invisible hand had wiped away all traces.


    Perfected Lord Vast River instinctively felt something was amiss.


    It was as if a shadow had imperceptibly enveloped them, casting a pall over the entire Spiritual Ind of the Vast River.


    “Something’s not right,” he suddenly said, shaking his head.


    At this moment, he sensed an enormous crisis rapidly approaching, threatening him and the entire ind.


    “I must inform ck Sea Pavilion and Senior Jiang about this,” he said, getting up to leave for the nearest ck Sea Pavilion.


    After greeting Guan Xinting, he prepared to immediately head to the nearest ck Sea Pavilion.


    However, just as he was about to leave the Spiritual Ind of the Vast River, several disciples on the ind suddenly looked at each other.


    In the next moment, a sinister cold smile appeared on the faces of those disciples.


    BOOM!


    It was also at this moment that the entire sky above the ind seemed to be enveloped by a thick ck fog.


    The evil and terrifying aura it exuded instantly changed the expressions of Perfected Lord Vast River and Guan Xinting.


    “Shifu, this is…?”


    Sensing the terrifying aura emitted by the ck fog, Guan Xinting turned to look at Perfected Lord Vast River in shock.


    At that moment, Perfected Lord Vast River had a look of disbelief as well.


    “Such dense demonic Qi… It seems our ind has been targeted for more than just a day or two,” he said, turning his gaze towards the disciples with dark glints in their eyes.


    “Yuan Hong, Fei Yan, when did you be like this? And how did I not notice any of this?”


    “Hehehe…”


    Instead of a response, an eerie coldugh was all that came back.


    The disciple named Fei Yan then spoke mechanically, “Perfected Lord Vast River, don’t worry, soon you will be one of us.


    By then, the entire Nova Waters will be our territory.”


    As he finished speaking, Perfected Lord Vast River and Guan Xinting were shocked to see arge group of ind disciples appear behind the two.


    Each one had eyes as ck as ink, with tumors writhing under their skin and bodies marked with twisted, sinister ck lines.


    As they approached, an evil and sinister aura that was even denser and more terrifying than before suddenly assaulted their faces.


    Perfected Lord Vast River, Guan Xinting, and a few uncorrupted disciples felt a deep chill in their hearts, especially as they saw the familiar faces of their fellow disciples approaching with bone-chilling, sinister smiles.


    “Quick, leave! We must leave this ce immediately!”


    Suddenly, Perfected Lord Vast River hollered.


    In the next instant, a talisman flickering with lightning appeared above his head.


    Crack—


    As Perfected Lord Vast River activated the talisman, golden lightning surged from it.


    The approaching shadows and ck mist, upon contact with the golden lightning, vanished as swiftly as snow melts under the sun.


    “An high-grade Level 5 Devilbane Lightning Talisman!


    You actually possess such a talisman!”


    The corrupted disciples of the ind roared furiously, ring at Perfected Lord Vast River with the most venomous, ferocious, and chilling gazes, as if he were their most hated enemy.


    Among them, his direct disciples Yuan Hong and Fei Yan ominously dered, “You can’t escape, none of you can.”


    Rumble!


    The thunder in the sky continued to roar.


    The golden divine lightning shot out by the Devilbane Lightning Talisman continuously evaporated the surrounding ck shadows and demonic Qi.


    This was also Perfected Lord Vast River’s strongest method to deal with the current situation.


    He had gotten this talisman from Shen Ruyan.


    It was the nemesis of all evil beings.


    BOOM!


    A golden devilbane lightning, as thick as a water barrel, struck the ck fog ahead fiercely, evaporating arge hole in it and revealing a way out of the ind.


    “Let’s go!”


    Without hesitation, Perfected Lord Vast River, along with Guan Xinting and a few disciples, dashed into the hole sted open in the fog.


    At the same time.


    The ck fog and its sinister tendrils didn’t remain idle.


    Seeing Perfected Lord Vast River and others attempting to escape through the hole, ck threads that were like slippery tentacles coiled around them.


    “Get away from me!”


    Perfected Lord Vast River hollered immediately.


    The next moment, the Devilbane Lightning Talisman above his head erupted again with blinding lightning.


    Rumble!


    A more intense explosion sounded, and a vast swath of the ck fog was evaporated again.


    Not wasting any time, Perfected Lord Vast River and the others rapidly made their way towards the exit of the ind.


    However, just as they were about to leave, several figures suddenly blocked their way.


    Boom!


    A defensive treasure in front of Perfected Lord Vast River flickered rapidly before dimming, and he was sent flying backward, along with Guan Xinting and the others, back into the depths of the ind.


    “Hehehe…”


    The eerieughter of Yuan Hong and Fei Yan rang out again,


    ‘We told you, you can’t escape. None of you can.”


    But at that moment, Perfected Lord Vast River wasn’t paying attention to them. Instead, he was fixated on the figures that had just appeared.


    “You are…


    The four ancestors of the Celestial Law Sect!”


    Perfected Lord Vast River finally recognized them.


    But this realization only made his heart sink further.


    He noticed that these four from the Celestial Law Sect were in the same corrupted state as his own disciples.


    They too had been contaminated!


    This realization brought a sense of shock and hopelessness.


    One had to know that these individuals were Nascent Souls like himself.


    Moreover, other than the Fourth Ancestors of the Celestial Law Sect, the cultivation and strength of the other three ancestors were actually above his.


    If even they had sumbed, what chance did he have?


    This realization caused Perfected Lord Vast River’s face to turn pale.


    This was because he saw that the four cultivators from the Celestial Law Sect had already taken out their respective puppets.


    In an instant, ten level 5 puppets appeared.


    Including the four of them, there were a total of fourteen Nascent Soul levelbat strength.


    How was he supposed to fight?


    Even if he still had the Level 5 Devilbane Lightning Talisman,


    So what?


    He only had one.


    Moreover, the Devilbane Lightning Talisman’s power had already been depleted by more than half in the previous use.


    The rest could only support him with two or three more bolts of lightning at most.


    It’s over!


    Everyone could not help but have this thought.


    The Devilbane Lightning Talisman gradually turned into mes and dissipated after striking thest bolt of golden lightning.


    Everyone, including Perfected Lord Vast River, could not help but feel despair.


    At this moment, an extremely sharp golden sword qi suddenly tore apart the ck fog.


    With one strike, the four Perfected Lords of the Celestial Law Sect and their level 5 puppets were all obliterated.


    There was a ssh.


    ck threads began to dance crazily in the air.


    They seemed to want to escape, but they also seemed to want to find a new host.


    However, before they could do anything, *


    The golden sword qi that carried a sharp killing intent descended again.


    With a swish.


    The ck threads immediately melted inch by inch like ice and snow encountering a zing sun before finally turning into nothingness..
