Chapter 652: After the Old Acquaintances
Outside the hall, the Inner Fort of the Fu Family was already completely deserted. Apart from patches of blood left on the ground, there was no sign of any people.
It seemed that the Fu Family’s mainline cultivators had all been annihilated, their bodies even turned to ash.
However, some cultivators riding their magical artifacts had ascended into the high sky and hovered briefly over Fu Family Fort. They soon noticed that the common mortals and some low-stage disciples from the Fu Family’s Outer Fort, located a bit farther away, were still alive and well.
They appeared to be completely unaware of the massive upheaval in the Inner Fort and were continuing with their own affairs.
It seemed the attackers either looked down on these people or believed that wiping out just the Fu Family’s mainline was enough to make the family vanish forever.
Having experienced such a shocking event, these cultivators naturally did not dare to linger.
Most of the rogue cultivators immediately rode their magical artifacts far away from this trouble spot.
The remaining few whispered a brief discussion before leaving one by one.
The extinction of the Fu Family was a major event for all the big and small powers that either befriended or opposed them.
Once this news spread, a commotion was inevitable!
Moreover, this time two protectors from the Demonic Flame Sect had also fallen here. Regardless of whether the ones who wiped out the Fu Family were truly nascent soul stage cultivators, the Demonic Flame Sect would definitely take action!
Their task now was to quickly bring this news back to their clans and sects, so they could take the initiative in the upcoming turmoil or prepare in advance for any possible situations!
But just as the last few cultivators hurriedly left the Fu Family Fort, a few unfamiliar cultivators in green robes arrived belatedly, entering Purple Dao Mountain from the outside.
They were shocked to see the Fu Family Fort’s protective formation open due to a lack of guardians.
At this moment, the Outer Fort’s outer disciples finally noticed the sudden disaster in the Inner Fort, and the entire Fu Family Fort descended into chaos.
Seeing the qi refining stage cultivators below shouting and panicking in disarray, the few green-robed cultivators hovering above exchanged uneasy glances.
The news that the Fu Family, the top family in Yuanwu Country, had been wiped out by a mysterious nascent soul stage cultivator in a single day quickly spread throughout the entire immortal cultivation world of Yuanwu Country.
The numerous powers of Yuanwu Country were thrown into an uproar.
Among them, the two protectors of the Demonic Flame Sect who had died in the incident caused the sect’s higher-ups to become furious and humiliated. They dispatched many people everywhere to search for this mysterious killer and declared that the sect’s nascent soul stage founding ancestor would confront this expert who dared to disregard the Demonic Flame Sect.
However, anyone with discerning eyes knew that the Demonic Flame Sect was mostly bluffing, and the matter would likely end inconclusively.
After all, according to eyewitness cultivators, the two protectors had been too close to the Fu Family and recklessly interfered. They unfortunately ran into the grasp of a vengeful nascent soul stage cultivator. This was simply their bad luck.
It should be noted that after annihilating the Fu Family, the nascent soul stage cultivator immediately left Yuanwu Country. No matter how powerful the Demonic Flame Sect was, they had no way to trace the culprit.
Furthermore, once a cultivator reaches the nascent soul stage, defeating them is easy, but actually killing or trapping them is exceedingly difficult. It would likely require three or four cultivators of the same stage acting together or the deployment of a formidable formation or protective seal. Otherwise, it’s simply impossible.
The Demonic Flame Sect would not mobilize so many nascent soul stage cultivators just to avenge their foundation formation protector. Even if they wanted to, the veteran nascent soul stage cultivators would not lightly intervene in such a matter.
