âDemon Slaying Heavenly Lightning Array. Strike!â Murong Luguang activated the controlling token in his hand.
âRumble!~~~~~ Booom!~~~â
Hundreds of lightning bolts appeared above the Heavenly Wolf Sect. The lightning was like a rushing river, swooping down toward the East Wolf Hallâs entrance.
âRoooarrrââ
âNo!â
All the demons roared in despair.
âRumble!~~~~~ Booom!~~~â
Lightning struck. The rocks on the ground exploded into countless pieces; shrieks of pain were heard endlessly.
However, after the explosion⌠Everyone opened their eyes in disbelief.
That is, because none of the demons had been struck. Instead, a group of Heavenly Wolf Sect and Golden Crow Sect disciples were at the receiving end of those thunderbolts. All of them were all burned black; they screamed in pain while spurting blood from their mouths.
Murong Luguang and Zhang Liâer were not the exception. Numerous thunderbolts had struck them both; fortunately, they had enchanted artifacts that protected them. Even though they appeared to be in a mess, they had not been severely injured. Zhang Liâerâs hair was a little disheveled after the explosion, while Murong Luguangâs clothes were torn.
âHow⌠Why did this happen?â Murong Luguang widened his eyes in disbelief.
âMurong Luguang! What are you doing? Did you just strike me with lightning? Shouldnât you be getting rid of the demons? Why did you attack my sectâs disciples?â Zhang Liâer raged.
All the guests were baffled. What is Murong Luguang doing?He struck himself with lightning! Did he do that to frighten the demons?
âMy⌠My token to harness the Demon Slaying Heavenly Lightning Array is faulty? â said a shocked Murong Luguang.
âOf course! Hahaha!â a sudden peal of laughter was heard.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was the wedding emcee, Sun Song!
What is happening?
âSun Song? Did you tamper with my token? What are you trying to do?â Murong Luguang asked furiously with widened eyes.
Sun Song was Murong Luguangâs subordinate, a bootlicker that had garnered the latterâs trust. Murong Luguang had favored him, giving him many tasks to accomplish. What was Sun Song doing?
âThe old Sun Song died a long time ago! This Sun Song is no longer your dog!â Sun Song declared proudly.
âWhat?â Murong Luguang had the sudden feeling that he no longer knew Sun Song.
âHumph, itâs just a wedding. Why are there so many hiccups! What are you guys doing? You made me wait for so long!â Sun Song glared intensely at Murong Luguang and the others.
âNo, youâre not Sun Song. Youâre a demon too? Youâve been hiding in the Heavenly Wolf Sect all this time?â Murong Luguangâs expression changed drastically.
âYou just realized it? The Heavenly Wolf Sect really has good techniques to identify demons hidden within the immortal sects. I wouldnât have been able to become a spy if it wasnât for the help of my Demon Sovereign, so I could investigate everything about the Heavenly Wolf Sect!â Sun Song laughed coldly.
âWhat⌠What did you do all this time? â Murong Luguang was in great shock.
âWhat did I do? I wanted to continue as a spy. But your greed gave me no choice, so I asked the Demon Sovereign for permission to expose myself! You have sent the Heavenly Wolf Sect to the grave! All of this was triggered by your greed when you received the list of hidden demons inside the immortal sects! â Sun Song mocked.
Murong Luguang was horrified. âAll the advice and strategies you suggested were all part of your plan?â Murong Luguang asked.
âAll of my strategies and counsel needed your greed to work. If you werenât greedy, you wouldnât have wanted to take all the merits alone! If you werenât greedy, why would the Demon Sovereign agree to lure away all the Heavenly Wolf Sectâs Astral Infant cultivators? If you werenât greedy, I wouldnât have goaded you into asking for the Immobilizing Radiance Mirror to bind everyone! Hahahahah!â Sun Song burst out laughing.
âYou⌠You⌠planned all of this?â Murong Luguangâs face turned unsightly.
âIndeed. I have long waited for this day. The Immobilizing Radiance Mirror has the entire Heavenly Wolf Sect in it, all thanks to your greed. No one can move! Next, I shall kill each and every one of you with the Demon Slaying Heavenly Lightning Array!â As he spoke, Sun Song took out another controlling token.
âYou canât kill us. The array wonât be that fastâŚâŚ!â Murong Luguang said. His face turned pale.
âYouâre right. The array would take a while to kill a Golden Core cultivator. But itâs okay, I have all the time I need! The Immobilizing Radiance Mirror will lock us down for one whole day, and that is enough! More than enough! You closed the sectâs gate, so no one will come in and disturb us! By the way, the demons sent by the Demon Sovereign have already surrounded the Heavenly Wolf Sect. They will prevent anyone from disrupting the process. So, I shall use this token to kill the whole lot of you. A Golden Core cultivator? It wonât take too long to kill anyway. Hahahahaha!â Sun Song cackled.
You⌠You⌠YouâŚ!â Murong Luguang was raging.
âMurong Luguang, your Heavenly Wolf Sect investigated every demon hiding in the immortal sects, but you didnât bother to check for yourself? We are in big trouble and itâs all your fault!â Zhang Liâer cried out in anger.
Murong Luguangâs face then became pale as a paper. How could he have expected that his most trusted junior had been demonized?
âHahaha, who shall I begin with? Why not you, my eldest apprentice-brother, hahaha!â Sun Song activated the controlling token.
âRumble!~~~~~ Booom!~~~â
Numerous thunderbolts descended from the sky aimed at Murong Luguang; he was instantly engulfed by lightning.
âDemon! Our Heavenly Wolf Sect will eradicate every single one of you. None of you shall escape!â Murong Luguang cried out indignantly amidst the lightning bombardment.
âHahaha, the Heavenly Wolf Sect? It will cease to be after today! I will kill you all, and then Iâll dig up the sectâs spirit mountain and break your sectâs seal. The Heavenly Wolf Sect will have no foundation to rebuild itself! All your Astral Infant cultivators are outside, and most of your Golden Core cultivators were sent out by you! Humph, who will know that Iâm destroying the Heavenly Wolf Sect now? Oh yeah, thereâs still the Annihilation Warning Bell. Everyone will know and return if it sounds! But no one inside the sect can move, including me. I can only move my fingers to activate the array token. Who is going to sound the alarm? Are the dry bones in the Heroic Valley going to do it? HAHAHAHA!â â Sun Song cackled.
Just as he laughed uproariously, everyone heard the loud sound of a bell, seemingly coming from one of the valleys.
âDang~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!â
The bell toll was so powerful that its deafening sound waves made everyoneâs ears ring; it reverberated beyond the Heavenly Wolf Sect and spread farther toward the outside world.
Sun Songâs face was paralyzed. Zhang Liâer and Murong Luguang were both astonished.
âThe Annihilation Warning Bell was rung? Impossible, impossible! Everyone whose reflection is captured by the Immobilizing Radiance Mirror will be immobilized. Who could have done it?â Sun Song was both shocked and angry.
âThe Annihilation Warning Bell has been sounded. All the members of the Heavenly Wolf Sect will know and return from all corners of the Ten-thousand Great Mountains, including the Sect Lord!â Murong Luguang was overjoyed.
âNo matter. The Ten-thousand Great Mountains are quite vast; they will take a long time to return⌠I will kill all of you first before they do. Demon Slaying Heavenly Lightning Array, strike!â Sun Song urgently activated the command token, and numerous lightning bolts descended from the sky.
It was once again targeted at Murong Luguang and all the disciples from both the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Golden Crow Sect. All of them were taken care of by the lightning bolts.
âRumble!~~~~~ Booom!~~~â
The mighty thunderbolts flashed brightly. Piercing shrieks ensued.
âHahahaha! You canât move! You canât move! Dreaming about slaying demons? We demons shall kill all of you today, you self-conceited pricks!â Sun Song laughed wildly.
âYes, kill them! Haha, quick! Strike them to death! â one of the demon guests cheered excitedly.
Still, Murong Luguang roared indignantly while under the thunderbolt shower, âSun Song! Iâm going to kill you!â
âCome and do it, if you can! Come and snatch the array token from me if youâre so powerful! Whoever has the token can control the array. Can you take it? Come and take it! Hahahaha⌠Uhhh!â Sun Song laughed, but suddenly, his face froze.
All the lightning bolts stopped. Everyone had confused faces as they looked at Sun Song. Why did he stop?
All the people present saw that next to Sun Song was an adulterer⌠Uh⌠no. It was Wang Ke. Wang Ke was not affected by the Immobilizing Radiance Mirror; he approached Sun Song unimpeded. He wrested the array token from the demon spyâs hands.
âItâs you?â Zhang Liâer was taken aback.
Murong Luguang was also glaring at Wang Ke who was moving freely. How is that possible?The Immobilizing Radiance Mirror affects everyone from the Golden Core stage and below. He doesnât look like heâs even reached the Golden Core stage! How is he able to move?
Princess Youyue, who was also paralyzed, asked in surprise.âWang Ke, why can you move?â
âYou⌠Youâre not affected by the Immobilizing Radiance Mirror?â Sun Song was aghast.
Wang Ke ignored Sun Song completely as he studied the token he took from the demonic spy. âThis is so high-tech!â he said in amazement, âThereâs a remote control?â
