My Swordsmanship Has No Upper Limit

In the end, the two came to an agreement: everything would be settled in half a month.

To ensure the promise was genuine and binding, Luo Qinzh had the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest swear an oath to the Youtan God.

After their discussion concluded, the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest disconnected from Luo Qinzh.

The latter immediately began giving orders to her subordinates.

"Go and summon Zhong Ming... No, wait. Hasn’t the Prince already invited Zhong Ming to a banquet? Don’t forget to call for me later. I will go as well."

"Also, bring me all the treasures I have in my collection."

To completely break free from Youtan Heaven’s control in half a month, Luo Qinzh prepared to support Zhong Ming with all her might and help him increase his strength.

Meanwhile, the Chief Priest and the Divine Heir candidate, Li Ye, who had been disconnected, both had incredibly ugly expressions.

After a moment of thought, a cold glint flashed in Li Ye’s eyes as he asked, "Can we just assassinate Zhong Ming directly?"

Hearing this, the Chief Priest immediately shook his head. "Impossible. Even before, the Prince Mansion’s guards were protecting Zhong Ming. Now that his prestige is at its peak, he’ll only have more guards. Trying to eliminate him through assassination is just a fool’s dream."

At this point, the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest took a deep breath, his expression gradually calming. "However, we need not be too anxious. We can leave the matter of Zhong Ming for the Five Viscera Sect to handle."

As he spoke, he contacted the people from the Five Viscera Sect.

SHIMMER...

As a screen of light unfolded, a truly horrific scene instantly filled the eyes of the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest and Li Ye.

It was a slaughtered village. At that moment, every living person and all the livestock in the village had been killed. Their chests had been cut open, and their five viscera had been dug out.

Those extracted five viscera were all arranged upon a bloody altar.

Someone was using a special technique to make these organs continuously absorb the vital essence of humans, as well as their Divine Soul fragments and the overwhelming aura of resentment.

"It hurts so much!"

"SOB... You all deserve to die..."

This process caused tormented human faces to occasionally appear on the five viscera, wailing mournfully.

But this horrific sight did not move the people of the Five Viscera Divine Sect in the slightest; instead, their faces showed expressions of immense enjoyment.

The Youtan Celestial Chief Priest and Li Ye also watched this indifferently, completely unfazed.

"Red Ape, stop fiddling with your altar. The situation in Qinghe Commandery Mansion has changed."

The Youtan Celestial Chief Priest’s voice made a youth who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old raise an eyebrow on the screen. He looked up at the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest, his tone laced with a hint of nonchalance.

"Qinghe Commandery Mansion? What kind of change could possibly happen there?"

"Prince Qinghe got lucky. A supreme prodigy, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in centuries, has appeared there. That person has suppressed the entire younger generation of Qinghe County City. If you treat this with contempt, you will die!"

To ensure his plan went off without a hitch—to kill Zhong Ming and the True Disciples of the six Major Sects in the Star River Secret Vault—the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest greatly exaggerated Zhong Ming’s strength.

He also specifically pointed out that due to Zhong Ming’s influence, the other six Major Sects would also up the ante. The human forces entering the Star River Secret Vault this time would be unprecedentedly powerful.

"Don’t think I’m just fearmongering. With only your faction’s strength, you might even be wiped out by the humans! I remember your Five Viscera Divine Sect has five lineages. If you don’t want to die, you’d better unite with them and strike together!"

Seeing how seriously he was taking it, the Five Viscera Sect Chief Priest known as Red Ape also nodded with a grave expression.

"Is that so? I understand. I will contact the people from the Tuberculosis Lineage. Also, we’ve been in contact with the Ten Thousand Heads King Buddha lineage recently. This is a good opportunity to invite them to strike together and join this grand feast..."

At this, a sharp glint flashed in Red Ape’s eyes. "To ensure this operation is foolproof, I will send more people, including at least three Divine Heir candidates. You must be fully prepared on your end. We absolutely cannot let the humans discover our tracks before we enter the Star River Secret Vault."

"Rest assured." The Youtan Celestial Chief Priest smiled confidently. "Sneaking you in without a sound... such a small matter is well within my Youtan Heaven’s capabilities. When it comes to concealing our tracks, if my Youtan Celestial Lineage claims to be second, no one would dare claim to be first."

After some discussion, the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest and Li Ye confirmed that for this operation, not only would two factions of the Five Viscera Divine Sect be joining, but people from another Evil Cult, the Ten Thousand Heads King Buddha, would also participate.

With as many as three Divine Heir candidates involved, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this operation was now guaranteed to succeed.

What the two of them didn’t know, however, was that as soon as the connection was severed, Red Ape’s grave expression vanished, replaced by a calm and indifferent demeanor.

The reason for this change was his one hundred percent confidence in the operation’s success.

And his certainty of victory was not without reason.

If the Youtan Celestial Chief Priest and Li Ye were there, they would have discovered that in this village, which had been turned into a sacrificial ground, it wasn’t just the Heart Lineage of the Five Viscera Divine Sect present.

Cultivators from the Five Viscera Divine Sect of Lao Fei, a Mage and Followers of the Ten Thousand Heads King Buddha, and another faction had already gathered here long ago.

And at this moment, the Cultivators from the two lineages of the Five Viscera Divine Sect and the Mage of the Ten Thousand Heads King Buddha all turned their gazes to the last faction. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The main members of that faction were, shockingly—humans!

Standing in this place teeming with demonic fiends, this group of humans remained completely unfazed, their expressions terrifyingly calm. They showed not a single trace of pity for their own kind.
