Chapter 630 - 374: Ransacking a Home by Decree
A bright moon hung high in the sky, painting a picturesque scene.
Jiang Wanzhao stood with her hands clasped behind her back, one foot pinning a Wolf Demon that had reverted to its true form. The euphoric rush from the slaughter had yet to fully fade from her face.
"Senior Sister Jiang!"
Zou Feng and Zhao Feixiong, who had just arrived, greeted her in unison with a bow.
Jiang Wanzhao nodded. "That she-wolf has most likely rebelled. Get ready. We’re going over now to wipe out her den!"
’She-wolf?’
Zou Feng thought for a moment before realizing who Jiang Wanzhao was talking about.
Several hundred miles from Jade Dragon Marketplace stood Wind Singing Manor.
Its Manor Master was a Golden Core Realm Wolf Demon named Xia Jingrui.
Like the other Great Demons of the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm, Wind Singing Manor had long ago submitted to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, which was the only reason it had survived unscathed to this day.
For Jiang Wanzhao to suddenly mention Xia Jingrui, it was obvious this demon was inextricably linked to the Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors brothel.
Besides, there were quite a few members of the Demon Race in Jade Dragon Marketplace harboring malicious intent. It would be stranger if there wasn’t some Great Demon pulling the strings, colluding with the Ninefold Celestial Court and Yama Underworld.
Jiang Wanzhao must have extracted more information from her captive, hence her immediate decision to launch a surprise attack on Wind Singing Manor.
Judging by Jiang Wanzhao’s expression, however, Xia Jingrui’s rebellion seemed to fill her with excitement.
After all, since coming to Celestial Hearing, she finally had a chance to distinguish herself.
Promptly stopping and eradicating a Great Demon’s rebellion would add a glorious entry to the records of her Northern Domain expedition.
As for whether or not she could actually take down Xia Jingrui...
Her nonchalant expression made it clear she was extremely confident of her success.
In truth, most True Disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect held a psychological advantage when facing other "rogue" Golden Core Realm Cultivators.
After all, battle records consistently showed that the True Disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect were simply a cut above the rest.
The top prodigies who clawed their way out of a crucible of countless geniuses were bound to be extraordinary.
Jiang Wanzhao was now gathering her forces with the intention of slaughtering everyone in Wind Singing Manor, leaving no survivors.
This was perfectly normal. Within any faction, rebellion was an unforgivable, capital crime.
If they didn’t act decisively and make an example of them, more traitors would just keep popping up in the future, each more brazen than the last.
When they stormed Wind Singing Manor, Jiang Wanzhao would definitely deal with Xia Jingrui personally.
Although she was confident she could take down Xia Jingrui, there was no telling how long it would take.
That’s why she needed capable subordinates like Zou Feng and Zhao Feixiong to hunt down the lesser demons who would undoubtedly try to scatter and flee.
"Gather everyone! We’re leaving at once!"
With that, Jiang Wanzhao shot into the air, intending to race ahead to Wind Singing Manor and seal off their escape. She couldn’t give these wolf pups the slightest chance to flee.
In fact, Zou Feng didn’t even need Jiang Wanzhao’s order; he was already using his Token to summon reinforcements.
He definitely had to bring Su Qingyu along. If they ran into a difficult situation, the Combined Skill the two of them could perform would be more than enough to break any stalemate.
However, only Dao Foundation Realm disciples could participate in this operation.
Leaving aside their combat strength, the Spiritual Energy Realm disciples were simply too slow. By the time they arrived, the battle would be long over.
Thus, for this "cushy" mission of pillaging and slaughter, Spiritual Energy Realm disciples like Leng Jing and Qin Fengwu wouldn’t even get to pick up the scraps.
Su Qingyu, of course, knew very well that a lucrative job like this was a chance to get rich. The moment Zou Feng sent the message, she was already rushing to rendezvous at full speed.
"Are we really going to annihilate Wind Singing Manor?"
"Most Wolf Demons are venomous, and I hear their venoms are all unique and different. This is a real gold mine!" Su Qingyu licked her lips, her expression one of eager anticipation.
With Jiang Wanzhao leading the charge, backed by a troop of elite Dao Foundation Realm disciples from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, Wind Singing Manor didn’t stand a chance.
Even if they caught wind of it and fled, they would still be hunted down and wiped out.
Therefore, Su Qingyu was already thinking about the spoils of this trip. This wasn’t carelessness; it was simply a statement of fact. It was no different from being officially ordered to go confiscate a traitor’s property.
There was no time to waste. Everyone used their own Divine Skills, racing against time to get to Wind Singing Manor like a pack of wild beasts that had caught the scent of blood.
For these elite Dao Foundation Realm experts going at full speed, a distance of several hundred miles could be covered in less time than it takes to eat a meal.
And so, it wasn’t long before more than a dozen fierce-looking Dao Foundation Realm Core Disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect regrouped on a mountaintop.
The reason they regrouped here was because Jiang Wanzhao had already arrived, and this location happened to overlook the entire Wind Singing Manor.
Perhaps their arrival was too sudden, as the Wolf Demons of Wind Singing Manor hadn’t reacted yet, and no one had tried to flee.
This was actually quite normal. After all, the moment trouble started at Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors, all related information was locked down. Furthermore, the Celestial Hearing Tower had the ability to interfere with various "signals," making it impossible for the Demon Race members in the marketplace to send word of the incident.
Seeing that her subordinates had all arrived, Jiang Wanzhao, without another word, stepped onto the air. Emanating a terrifying pressure, she walked to a position directly above Wind Singing Manor.
Meanwhile, Zou Feng and the others spread out, surrounding the entire Wind Singing Manor.
"Xia Jingrui, come out!"
With the encirclement complete, Jiang Wanzhao called down to the manor below, her voice deep and heavy.
Her voice wasn’t particularly loud, but the entire Wind Singing Manor began to tremble as if struck by an earthquake.
A moment later, a woman in a tight-fitting, silvery-white outfit with a very androgynous face shot out from the manor, hastily flying into the air.
This woman was, of course, the Manor Master of Wind Singing Manor, Xia Jingrui.
Xia Jingrui’s current expression was one of utter bewilderment; she had no idea what was going on.
