Chapter 301: No Quarter
"When you go in search of the lotus pods, keep an eye out on the major families as well. Check for any demonic energy. It's possible that other important figures from the wealthy clans have been devoured too," Wang Xuan instructed.
He had already observed the Zhao and Wu families, and even the Sun and Qin families, the previous night, but hadn't detected any demonic presence. If these families also had high-ranking members replaced by demons, it would indicate a much more extensive plot by the demonic faction.
Public sentiment was inflamed, a sharp contrast to the previous idyllic fantasies about mythological beings. Now, the brutal truth had been revealed in a morning news report demons integrating into modern society with covert tactics, but their cruel nature remained unchanged from ancient times, viewing humans as mere blood sustenance.
The Qian family, deeply saddened and angered, reached out to the descendants of the immortals to understand their stance and whether they were involved in this chaos.
That morning, both Cao Qingyu and Zhou Shiqi were taken aback. They had just concluded a press conference asserting their ancestors were once humans of this world, sharing the same blood, only for such a scandal to break.
Kong Yun and Huang Ming felt even greater pressure. Being descendants of demon immortals themselves, the current upheaval caused by the demonic disturbances was severely tarnishing their image, worsening their living conditions.
"My ancestor was human and transformed into a white peacock through the True Body Path, never consuming humans," Kong Yun said bitterly, trying to clarify, but few seemed to listen.
In fact, their own factions were also preparing to take covert actions.
As for Huang Daxian, he was utterly flustered, suspecting his reputation had taken another hit.
Members of the Taoist community stepped forward, led by a young man named Wang Hai, who entered the Qian household and declared their participation. The demons had desecrated their celestial bones, which was intolerable!
Cao Qingyu, Kong Yun, Zhou Shiqi, and others also followed suit, publicly announcing their clear distinction from the demons who fed on living humans.
"The native demons are our enemies, originating from a different realm entirely!"
"We will not tolerate the rampant actions of demons and will not stand idly by!"
A group of the immortal descendants quickly gathered at the Qian residence, expressing their willingness to contribute and take a stand against the demonic uprising.
Significant members of the Qian family, deeply unsettled, had already boarded their warships, choosing to avoid direct contact with the descendants of the immortals. Their reluctance stemmed from a mix of deep-seated aversion and fear.
Since the previous day, the Qian family had activated their extensive network, reaching out to major organizations for assistance. Celestial eyes and advanced detectors were set in motion by various families, scouring the land for any trace of the demons. The revelation that these creatures preyed on humans had instigated a widespread alarm, spurring earnest collaboration among all involved.
"The demons have fled underground from Hanwu Mountain!"
It was soon discovered that the demons had used earth burrowing techniques to escape. The families intensified their investigation, scouring other locations for any leads.
Before long, a particular area was identified as a potential hiding spot for the demons, who might have used their burrowing abilities to infiltrate Sicheng.
A somber representative from the Zheng family arrived to report to Wang Xuan. The pursuit of the demons, based on the leads from Hanwu Mountain, had unfortunately led to several casualties.
The Zheng family, bolstered by the presence of the formidable Zheng Yuantian, had been a potent force. However, in their quest to unravel this mystery, two of their most skilled members had met a tragic end.
"Two esteemed immortals, perished so brutally, their bodies covered in sinister purple patterns, their spirits completely annihilated!"
"They died in my place," Wang Xuan reflected heavily. "Had I been there, I might have fallen into the same traps. Their sacrifice is deeply lamentable."
The tactics employed bore a striking resemblance to previous encounters but seemed even more treacherous, causing silent, swift deaths.
Wang Xuan speculated that the demons had collaborated with Zhou Chong's faction once again, seizing more celestial bones. These remnants of transcendent rules were now being wielded against him, posing a direct threat to his life.
"This trap must have a limited range. They need to be close to effectively target me, and I won't give them that opportunity." Resolute, Wang Xuan boarded a Qian family warship and ascended into the skies.
A call from the Zheng family's celestial being later that day conveyed shattering news, his voice shaking with rage. "Your uncle... he's dead."
Wang Xuan was momentarily staggered by the news. His uncle, Zheng Yunming, had been fatally impaled by a malevolent black celestial sword that appeared out of thin air, annihilating both his physical form and spirit.
Struggling with his sorrow and trying to maintain composure, Wang Xuan declared, "I must act now, to seek justice for the Zheng family."
His anger was palpable as he questioned the decision to send Zheng Yunming on such a perilous mission, a tragedy that could have been avoided.
From the sky, a beam of light descended, piercing straight through the health retreat. Fortunately, the building was a standalone structure with a lawn and a garden, making it an ideal target for a precise strike.
"My health retreat, always meeting the same fate of being blasted," Wang Xuan muttered, looking down at the sizeable building and garden, a gift from Old Qian.
"For you, Old Qian, I avenge!" His eyes then hardened with resolve.
The beam obliterated the site, melting and even vaporizing everything. There was no ash, only boiling magma, a successful pinpoint elimination.
"Ah..." Demonic screams echoed as their spirits burst forth.
Some younger demons, who had brought their physical bodies across the boundary, met a particularly gruesome end, their flesh and bones obliterated instantly.
Even in their spiritual form, the demons were significantly weakened by the energy attacks from the modern world. The supermatter within their spirits dispersed, and their reformed spiritual bodies were naturally debilitated.
The warship's weapons couldn't annihilate the spirits outright, but that didn't mean they couldn't deplete the demons' supermatter.
"Attack!" commanded Wang Hai of the Taoist faction, as he and others like Zhou Shiqi and Cao Qingyu joined the hunt.
Wang Xuan, stationed in the warship outside Sicheng, had already targeted the strongest spirit bodies. Observing some fleeing the city, he immediately ordered to fire upon them.
Some of the demon immortals, escaping with their true bones wrapped in their spirits and faint blood glows, still possessed formidable strength, as their true bones had not been completely shattered.
However, after enduring a second onslaught, their spirit bodies trembled. Having already experienced a terrifying attack in the city, their divine senses were dulled, making them vulnerable to the interwoven beams of energy assaulting them, suffering frequent injuries.
"Boom!"
Eventually, the true bones of some demons were shattered by the modern energy weapons, their vital essence dissipating, leaving only their spirits to wail pitifully as they fled.
"No!" cried some demons in despair, realizing their celestial lives, essential for reconstructing their demon bodies, were destroyed.
"For you, Old Qian, I've reclaimed a significant blood debt!" Wang Xuan declared.
Beams of light continued to rain down from the sky, the mountains outside Sicheng enduring a horrific "baptism". The escaping demons suffered their true bones shattering, their spirits dimming and wounded.
As for the younger demons whose physical bodies were long gone, their now panicked spirits fled desperately.
Wang Xuan, finding a secluded spot, piloted his flying vessel away from the warship. He transformed into a streak of light, plunging into the forest, his true form set on personally hunting down the remnants.
Meanwhile, Wang Hai, Cao Qingyu, Zhou Shiqi, and others pursued relentlessly. Their factions had longstanding enmities with the demons, dating back to their time in the transcendent realms.
In a somewhat awkward position was Kong Yun's faction. Their ancestors were human, but they had followed the True Body Path, transforming into beings like the White Peacock and the Golden-Winged Roc.
Caught between their human heritage and their demonic nature, Kong Yun's faction faced a dilemma. They had to join the hunt against the demons, yet their actions lacked the decisiveness of others.
When Wang Xuan arrived, many noticed his presence.
"Wang Brother, you're here too."
"Exorcising demons is a duty every righteous man must undertake," Wang Xuan declared solemnly.
"Attack!" The group pressed on in their pursuit of the demons.
Unconcerned with others, Wang Xuan was relentless in his onslaught. Any demon caught in his sights had little chance of survival. Wielding his spiritual chain, he specifically targeted the spirits of the demons.
At the same time, he was testing his own transcendent techniques bursts of fire and thunder rained down, striking with destructive force, their efficacy remarkable.
That day marked a heavy loss for the demon faction. Almost all their powerful demon immortals were eradicated. Every target Wang Xuan set his sights on was eliminated without exception.
The outside world was in turmoil, shocked and terrified by the ruthless decimation of the demons. Was it going to be a complete annihilation? The news both alarmed and awed the public.
