NOVEL NEXT Chapter 77
Chapter 77: Kill Everyone Except Yue’er!
At this moment, inside the barrier, the entire Thirty-Six Immortal Palace was in chaos.
All the strong cultivators rushed out, not a single one left behind.
Everyone gazed up at the sky, which was actually the barrier protecting their sanctuary.
Boom!!!
A thunderous sound came from outside. That was Qing’er’s attack striking the barrier.
But the barrier didn’t even budge!
“They can’t break through, they can’t break through the barrier!”
Sun Yaibai immediately laughed out loud, “Even the Demonic Sect can’t break this barrier!”
He was comforting himself.
He knew deep down that he was only offering false comfort.
Even if the Demonic Sect couldn’t break the barrier now, they were already trapped like fish in a barrel.
One day, when the Demonic Sect gathered enough strength, they would break through and slaughter everyone inside!
The rest of the people from the Thirty-Six Immortal Palace also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although it was mere self-consolation, at least for the moment, they could live a bit longer.
Buzz!
However, at that moment, something changed.
The barrier that was once connected to the heavens and earth suddenly lost its powerful spiritual energy supply.
“What… what happened? Why is the barrier… disconnected?”
Everyone’s faces turned pale.
“Someone from outside has severed the connection between the barrier and the heavens!”
“We’re done for, the Demonic Sect is about to break in!”
“What should we do? What should we do?”
Panic spread across the faces of everyone.
They had once been part of the Demonic Sect, and they knew well the methods of the sect.
If the Demonic Sect broke through, they wouldn’t leave a single person alive.
“Stop panicking! Reinforce the barrier! Everyone, reinforce the barrier!”
Sun Yaibai shouted desperately.
He knew about this weakness in the barrier.
But he never expected Ling Xue to strike at the weak point so directly.
How could Ling Xue know so much about the inner workings of this place?
The next moment, the spiritual energy of Sun Yaibai, who was at the peak of the Divine Essence realm, surged as he focused on reinforcing the barrier.
Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit.
The remaining ten or so Divine Essence realm cultivators, along with their numerous troops, poured all their remaining spiritual energy into reinforcing the barrier.
Unfortunately, without the supply of spiritual energy from the heavens, the barrier was like a river cut off from its source.
It would only grow weaker over time.
Their meager spiritual energy was far from enough to maintain it.
Meanwhile, within the palace, Lan Yue’er had also stepped out.
“Young Lord…”
Her beautiful eyes gazed at the sky with excitement in her heart.
Ling Xue has arrived so quickly?
He had found this place in such a short time?
That’s wonderful, I can finally see him!
I can finally explain everything to him!
�
Outside, after severing the connection between the canyon and the heavens with a single sword strike, Ling Xue stood still, quietly waiting.
Without the supply of spiritual energy, the barrier would gradually weaken.
Before long, the barrier revealed a faint outline and began to fade.
At this point, breaking through the barrier would be easy.
Ling Xue waved his hand.
Whoosh!
A sword qi shot forth!
Boom!
With a shattering sound, the once indestructible barrier shattered like glass!
Immediately, Ling Xue gestured, and the Demonic Sect’s army surged in like a flood.
Inside the barrier, Sun Yaibai and the others, who had been desperately reinforcing it, turned pale with shock.
The next moment, the sky shattered like glass, revealing a massive hole.
Then, to their horror, they saw Ling Xue leading the Demonic Sect’s army pouring in.
At that instant, everyone in the Thirty-Six Immortal Palace felt a chill of terror.
They had come—really come.
This time… it was truly the end.
In the sky, after breaking through with his army, Ling Xue’s blood-red eyes immediately locked onto Sun Yaibai at the forefront of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palace.
Sun Yaibai was the leader of the traitors who had betrayed the Demonic Sect!
The biggest traitor!
“Young… Young Lord!”
Sun Yaibai’s face had turned deathly pale, far paler than ever before.
Paralyzed under Ling Xue’s gaze, he didn’t dare move a muscle.
Ling Xue simply stared at him, saying nothing.
“Young Lord, back then… it was all the Grand Palace Master’s doing! We had no ill intentions towards the Demonic Sect!”
Sun Yaibai immediately knelt down.
“We were forced by the Grand Palace Master to betray the sect! If the Young Lord would be merciful, we are willing to return to the Demonic Sect and serve you loyally for the rest of our lives…”
Bang!
His words were cut short.
Ling Xue, from a distance, had casually slapped him, causing his head to explode into a cloud of blood!
Blood sprayed from the stump of his neck.
Then, his headless body, still kneeling in midair, plummeted to the ground.
Seeing this, the remaining members of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palace were stricken with fear, their bodies trembling as cold sweat poured from them.
A Divine Essence peak cultivator had just been killed by Ling Xue with a single slap?
This new Demonic Lord was indeed as terrifying as the rumors said.
Ling Xue had no interest in listening to their excuses.
There was no need for excuses!
He knew better than anyone who had truly betrayed the sect and who had second thoughts.
After casually slapping Sun Yaibai’s head into pieces, Ling Xue coldly said, “Kill everyone except for Yue’er!”
