After instructing the Third Elder to stay behind within the Qingdan Sect to guard the Qingdan Sect, Sect Master Li Changtian also had discussed his plan with the Third Elder.

After all, this was not just his own matter; this action by Sect Master Li Changtian and the others concerned the future destiny of the Qingdan Sect.

Therefore, before carrying out the encirclement and killing of the newly appointed Town Demon Envoy Sun Xuan, Sect Master Li Changtian had carried out a discussion among the entire high-level officials of the Town Demon Guard.

Although a few high-ranking members of the Qingdan Sect opposed such a risky move against the newly appointed Town Demon Envoy, the remaining majority of the high-level officials agreed with this plan of Sect Master Li Changtian.

The minority yielded to the majority, so the encirclement and killing plan against Sun Xuan still proceeded.

Meanwhile, this Third Elder left behind within the Qingdan Sect was one of the few high-level officials within the Qingdan Sect who held opposing views.

In the view of this Third Elder, that previous trip to the underground cave had already caused the Qingdan Sect to lose a large batch of elite Martial Artists.

For the Qingdan Sect, that was already a bone-fracturing injury.

Under the current circumstances, what the Qingdan Sect needed was not to continue with aggressive plans, but rather to properly recuperate and build up strength.

After recuperating the Origin Qi damaged by the Sect, it would not be too late to carry out other plans.

Moreover, what Sect Master Li Changtian wanted to deal with this time was still the leader of the Qinghe County Demon Suppression Guard, the Town Demon Envoy.

This kind of risky behavior, if one was not careful, would cause huge losses to themselves, and even the disaster of annihilation of the Sect was not impossible.

However, the possibility of annihilation was not very high; after all, after Town Demon Envoy Lü Qing left the Qinghe County Demon Suppression Guard, there were very few experts left within this Town Demon Guard.

Their overall strength was much worse than that of the Qingdan Sect.

Furthermore, the strength displayed by this newly appointed Town Demon Envoy was merely at the Eighth Grade Realm, posing limited threat to the Qingdan Sect.

Therefore, in the view of Sect Master Li Changtian and even the Third Elder and others who held opposing views, even if this operation failed and this newly appointed Town Demon Envoy Sun Xuan escaped,

the consequence caused would merely be that the Qinghe County Demon Suppression Guard and their Qingdan Sect became completely mortal enemies.

At this time, the Qinghe County Demon Suppression Guard did not have the ability to pose too much threat to the Qingdan Sect.

As for asking for reinforcements from the commandery city Town Demon Guard, in the view of Sect Master Li Changtian and others, the possibility should not be high.

After all, Sun Xuan had just taken office as the Town Demon Envoy, and asking superiors for reinforcements because of personal issues was extremely unfavorable for him to stabilize his own power.

If a dignified Town Demon Envoy could not even suppress the local forces within his own jurisdiction, what use was he then?

In order to stabilize the position of the Town Demon Envoy, in the view of Sect Master Li Changtian and others, even if Sun Xuan was allowed to escape, Sun Xuan would only swallow broken teeth into the stomach and would definitely not report it upward.

Moreover, even if this newly appointed Town Demon Envoy reported the matter of being encountered with an attack upward, it was hard to say whether the superiors would care about this matter.

After all, speaking more deeply, this was ultimately the personal problem of the Town Demon Envoy.

As long as it did not pose a threat to the entire Town Demon Guard, the problem was not big to the higher-level Town Demon Guard.

With these considerations in mind, Sect Master Li Changtian and other high-level officials of the Qingdan Sect agreed to join forces with a few traitors like Yuan Dong to set up an ambush and encircle Sun Xuan.

However, no matter how they calculated, they never expected that the current strength of Sun Xuan would be so formidable.

Relying solely on himself, he slaughtered Sect Master Li Changtian and all the others, leaving them completely routed.

As a result, the fate awaiting the Qingdan Sect was only the end of the Sect destruction and the people perishing.

Just like the predicament of the Qingdan Sect at this very moment.

Upon hearing that a large number of the Town Demon Guard were killing their way toward the Qingdan Sect, the Third Elder wore a gloomy face, frowning as he pondered countermeasures.

At this moment, the Town Demon Guard was aggressively killing its way toward their Qingdan Sect; needless to say, the conspiracy of Sect Master Li Changtian and the others had certainly shattered.

It was just unknown whether Sect Master Li Changtian and everyone else who went to encircle and kill the newly appointed Town Demon Envoy had escaped or had all been killed.

According to the speculation of the Third Elder, even if the encirclement and killing of the newly appointed Town Demon Envoy by Sect Master Li Changtian failed this time, allowing that Town Demon Envoy to escape,

with the strength of Sect Master Li Changtian and those who went to encircle and kill him, they should not have been completely wiped out in the hands of a mere Eighth Grade Martial Artist.

But if Sect Master Li Changtian and the others were not completely wiped out, why had they not come in advance to report to them, the staying-behind personnel of the Qingdan Sect, so that they could prepare to face the wrath of the Qingdan Sect.

After all, at this moment these forces of the Town Demon Guard had already killed their way toward their Qingdan Sect, and there was no reason for Sect Master Li Changtian and the others not to notify him a step earlier.

In fact, during the previous high-level discussion with Sect Master Li Changtian, the disposal method after mission failure had also been discussed.

After escaping back, that newly appointed Town Demon Envoy would inevitably and furiously assemble a large army of the Town Demon Guard to come and attack the Qingdan Sect.

However, their Qingdan Sect really could not do anything excessive to this large force of the Town Demon Guard.

After all, once the losses of the Qinghe County Demon Suppression Guard were too severe, then the commandery city Town Demon Guard would very likely make a move against them.

Therefore, in the event of an encirclement failure, the method discussed at that time was that Sect Master Li Changtian would rely on the speed of a Seventh Grade Martial Artist to return a step earlier to report the news.

Then their Qingdan Sect would transition from the light to the dark, first evacuating the Sect station of the Qingdan Sect and hiding for a period of time.

Waiting until later to find an opportunity to finish off this newly appointed Town Demon Envoy, and it would not be too late for their Qingdan Sect to re-emerge then.

However, the actual situation was that Sect Master Li Changtian did not return a step earlier to report the news, and at this moment, the forces of the Town Demon Guard had already killed their way toward them a step earlier.

The situation had exceeded the plan formulated at that time; how to cope with this aggressive group of Town Demon Guard forces now presented a difficult problem for the Third Elder.

Evacuating at this moment was obviously already too late.

Moreover, under a hasty evacuation, it would obviously show that he and the others had a guilty conscience.

After the expression of the Third Elder flickered uncertainly for a moment, he slowly firmed up.

He spoke in a hurried tone to Gao Qing and Li Er, who were standing before him:

"You two quickly gather all the Disciples within the Sect. We will go out and meet this Town Demon Guard to see what on earth they have come to our Qingdan Sect for with such a large, aggressive force!"

After pondering for a moment, the Third Elder prepared to assemble all the remaining strength of the Qingdan Sect to confront these Town Demon Guards.

Then he would act according to circumstances at that time to see if he could eliminate this impending disaster.

The remaining Disciples within the station of the Qingdan Sect moved very quickly; before Sun Xuan and the others could ride their horses to the gates of the Qingdan Sect, the Third Elder brought a large group of remaining Qingdan Sect Disciples to the front of the gates.

The strength of these staying-behind Disciples was obviously not high; among them, less than half were Ninth Grade early- and Middle Stage Martial Artists, while the remaining Martial Artists had not even crossed the threshold of graded Martial Artists, with strength barely different from the Town Demon Guard reserves under Sun Xuan.

Only the strength of the Third Elder was barely passable, having reached the Realm of the Eighth Grade Late Stage.

However, a single Eighth Grade Late Stage could not change the overall situation.

Just as the Third Elder and the others finished assembling, Sun Xuan and his group rode their horses to the location of the mountain gate of the Qingdan Sect.

"Whoa!"

Hearing a light shout from the mouth of Sun Xuan, the warhorse beneath him raised its front hooves and immediately came to a stop.

As soon as Sun Xuan stopped, this group of Town Demon Guards following behind Sun Xuan also immediately pulled on their reins and brought their horses to a halt.

Sun Xuan looked coldly at the assembled Qingdan Sect Disciples before him, wisps of Killing Intent condensing in the air.

The heart of the Third Elder skipped a beat upon being looked at by the eyes of Sun Xuan filled with Killing Intent, and he spoke to Sun Xuan with a somewhat strained expression:

"Lord Sun of the Town Demon Guard, instead of guarding within Qinghe County city, why have you brought a large group of subordinates to the barren mountains of our Qingdan Sect? What is the meaning of this?"

Hearing the words of the Third Elder, the gloomy and solemn face of Sun Xuan suddenly revealed a smile.

Sun Xuan smiled and said:

"Elder, this Envoy really did not expect that you would be so thoughtful."

"Previously, this Envoy was still considering how to wipe out all of you remnants of the Qingdan Sect in one fell swoop."

"I did not expect that you, Elder, would so thoughtfully gather everyone together for this Envoy."

"Not bad, not bad!"

Although the face of Sun Xuan wore a smile, the words spoken were full of Killing Intent.

"You…"

Hearing the irrelevant words of Sun Xuan, the complexion of the Third Elder changed drastically. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he was interrupted by the action of Sun Xuan at this moment.

Sun Xuan drew the long sword carried with him, waved it lightly toward the direction where the Qingdan Sect Disciples were gathered, and shouted with an explosive roar:

"Kill!"

At this moment, Sun Xuan did not summon the evil dragon saber, but instead casually drew a long sword.

To deal with these remaining stinking fish and rotten shrimp of the Qingdan Sect, for Sun Xuan, there was simply no need to use the true spirit artifact ranked on the chaos myriad spirits ranking.

After the words of Sun Xuan fell, he completely ignored the complexion of the Third Elder, which had become ugly to the extreme.

He pulled the reins directly and urged his horse to charge toward the Disciples of the Qingdan Sect.

The group of Town Demon Guards following behind Sun Xuan also did not say a word, each of them charging toward the Disciples of the Qingdan Sect with murderous expressions.

"All Disciples of the Qingdan Sect, jointly resist the foreign enemy!"

The Third Elder roared loudly to the surrounding Qingdan Sect Disciples and said.

At this moment, the Third Elder was also helpless.

Originally, the Third Elder wanted to use the power of his glib tongue to bluff Sun Xuan and this group of Town Demon Guards back.

But reality gave him a fierce slap in the face.

The Town Demon Guard obviously had no intention of talking nonsense with him; their goal was very clear, coming specifically to annihilate the entire family of the Qingdan Sect.

Under this circumstance, apart from meeting them in battle, there were no other methods available to choose from.

However, at this moment, the Town Demon Guard could be said to have sent out their entire nest to deal with the Qingdan Sect.

How could these staying-behind old, weak, sick, and disabled people of theirs possibly resist?

If they really continued to fight against these Town Demon Guards, this group of people of theirs would truly be dead for sure.

But the Third Elder still did not want to die, so the Third Elder only let the other Qingdan Sect Disciples rush forward to fight to the death with these fierce-as-wolves-and-tigers Town Demon Guards.

As for the Third Elder himself, he quietly hid among the chaotic crowd and then stealthily prepared to slip away.

As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains remain, there is no fear of running out of firewood.

He, a dignified Eighth Grade Late Stage Martial Artist, why should he risk his life here for the Qingdan Sect?

By this point in time, Sect Master Li Changtian still had not returned.

In the view of the Third Elder, this Qingdan Sect should have already been abandoned by Sect Master Li Changtian.

Even the Sect Master had abandoned the Sect.

Why should he, a mere minor Elder, fight to the death here?

The Third Elder thought very open-mindedly, but unfortunately, Sun Xuan was not prepared to let him go.

Among the remaining Disciples of the Qingdan Sect, only the cultivation of the Third Elder was barely passable.

How could Sun Xuan possibly let the Third Elder go so casually?

Watching the Third Elder hide in the chaotic crowd, sneaking around and preparing to run away,

Sun Xuan directly without a word slashed and killed several Qingdan Sect Disciples surrounding him within two or three swords, then pulled his reins and chased toward the fleeing Third Elder.

Seeing this scene, the Third Elder was immediately frightened out of his wits.

The Third Elder let out an explosive shout:

"Blood-Burning Escape!"

As soon as his voice fell, a cluster of blood-colored light flame actually drifted out from the mouth of the Third Elder. After drifting out, it immediately transformed into a beam of blood light and threw itself onto the body of the Third Elder.

After the blood-colored light flame landed on the body of the Third Elder, a layer of blood-colored flames immediately began to burn from the body of the Third Elder.

Under the burning of the blood-colored light flame, the skin of the body of the Third Elder was even burned until it became shriveled and cracked.

From within the cracked skin all over the body of the Third Elder, patches of fresh blood immediately oozed out.

As soon as this fresh blood oozed out from the body of the Third Elder, it was burned to ashes by the blood-colored light flame.

After burning this fresh blood, this cluster of blood-colored light flame actually carried the Third Elder into the air, and then transformed into a blood-colored stream of light, darting rapidly into the distant mountain forests with lightning speed.

This series of maneuvers by the Third Elder left even Sun Xuan stunned for a moment.

Caught off guard for a moment, this Third Elder actually truly escaped with the help of that bizarre blood-colored flame.

Looking at the Third Elder, whose speed was nearly no less than the full-power flight speed of Sun Xuan, a look of interest could not help but appear on the face of Sun Xuan.

Just now, after the Third Elder spewed out that cluster of blood-colored light flame, an evil and bizarre Aura emanated from this cluster of blood-colored light flame.

Under the formidable Soul perceptual power of Sun Xuan, Sun Xuan actually discovered that the cluster of blood-colored light flame spewed out by the Third Elder was actually a living creature.

As a result, things became interesting.

A look of strangeness flashed through the eyes of Sun Xuan, and then he muttered to himself:

"I did not expect that annihilating a tiny Qingdan Sect could actually yield some unexpected gains at this moment. Not bad!"

After speaking, Sun Xuan spoke up once more to the group of Town Demon Guards who were encircling and slaughtering the Qingdan Sect Disciples:

"Listen up, everyone! Execute every single Disciple of the Qingdan Sect without exception. Seal up the spoils within the Sect, and deal with them after this Envoy returns!"

After the voice fell, Sun Xuan no longer hesitated, directly moving his figure to chase rapidly in the direction where the Third Elder had fled just moments before.
