I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1482 20.46 First Black Star - Evil Cultivators

Evening

South Regionʼs Public Market

In the dead silence of the night, a few figures in full black clothing were shifting around the rows of buildings and houses in the area. These are the young disciples who met the great general when he killed the female cultivator that day.

Most lights at this moment were extinguished and except for big mansions, who have no worries for money, they can keep a lamp on all night in their private rooms. Most of the people at this time were already asleep and except for the patrol guards beyond the gates, there was almost no one in the public streets.

But for some unknown reason they werenʼt the only group snooping around the place and unexpectedly they didnʼt clash along the way until the team both reached the fortress mansion with so few soldiers guarding it. At night, most soldiers were patrolling beyond the gates; this is because they are vigilant towards the territory of the barbarian race not far from this land.

The group of young men were the cultivators led by the person whose sister was killed by the great general. His face behind the mask was fierce and his eyes were full of anger. At each jump these cultivators make, they would paste a few flame talismans at each mortal house. Obviously, their intentions were not good, seeing how murderous their actions are.

”Senior Brother Ki, are we truly going to do this? That human general seems to be more powerful than the sect elder who comes with us. There is also a mission.”

”He killed my younger sister! He did it in front of my eyes! Obviously, he doesnʼt fear us, cultivators. I will never forgive him. Sia is still so young. How can he kill her just because she almost killed a mortal?

Why does he have to worry about an existence similar to an ant!?” said the only Core Disciple named Ki in the group. He is also the biological brother of the female cultivator that General Lou had beheaded before.

The other inner disciples looked at their leader and no longer complained. They knew that this senior brother of theirs was blinded by his hatred and could no longer see the threat the great general possessed. Some of these inner disciples are regretting that they came out of the inn with Senior Brother Ki. After all, the plan of their senior brother is cruel.

He wanted to burn down all the mortals in this region.

Senior Brother Ki noticed the silence of the other disciples, but the hierarchy within the sect is strict, and all lower-level disciples must listen to those above them. The lowest-level disciples are called outer disciples. Most disciples of this level had barely reached the Qi Refinement Stage.

Whoever reached the foundation stage can enter the tutelage of the elders of the sect and enter their peaks. While the topmost and most important disciples are called Core Disciples. These are talented and young cultivators that have reached the innateness stage. Most of these disciples are considered direct disciples of the elders and the Sect Master himself.

Senior Brother Ki was one of the disciples of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He was added to this mission to become the eyes of Sect. Master Cen. He had abused his authority and brought with him his biological sister, whose talent was average and reached Foundation Stage thanks to the resources he had given her.

Who would have thought that in this mission he would lose his only blood-related family in this world? It was because of this fact that the hatred in his heart is out of his control.

”Paste more of those flame talismans. More around this damn palace. I want to see his own house explode and burn down!” said Senior Brother Ki.

After posting as many talismans as they could around the houses in the south region, they bumped into another group of men wearing similar clothing as theirs. Like them, most of their faces were hidden by the piece of cloth that acts as a veil to mask their identities. The only difference is that these people are kidnapping mortal children.

The two groups startled one another and immediately acted defensive when they both felt each otherʼs aura and qi. One side is full of ordinary qi, which most cultivators possessed, while the other group was emitting a bloody red qi, which can only be wielded by evil cultivators who were mostly tainted and evil to the core.

”Evil cultivators?!”

”Righteous bastards!”

The hatred between the righteous and evil cultivators had gone for several hundred years. As soon as they see one another, the righteous ones will kill these evil ones on the spot, while the evil ones will toy with and cruelly treat these bastards who wore a fake face of justice on their faces. In reality, the way they look at the mortals as ants they could trample any time is just the same.

Clang!

The two sides started to clash with their swords, daggers, and all other weapons. They hated each other so much that they had forgotten each of their original goals. One wanted to destroy this place while the other wanted to pick up some mortals to experiment with.

Moreover, most evil cultivators are inherently bad, and no one wants to become a bad person. So they kidnapped children to nurture the talented ones and treat the weak ones as commodities. That is how the weak were treated in this world. The strong do as they want, and the weak ones can only suffer as they grit their teeth.

The two groups oppose one another as if it were instinct. They would always want to kill each other when they met. It was because of this that they both forgot what they came for and started fighting each other.

Meanwhile, at the top of the fortress walls, the soldiers who had become cultivators themselves look down at the scene with disbelief. They could understand the situation at the beginning. They were here supposed to be planning to ambush these cultivators from the sects after learning their plan to burn down the whole place and were angered by it.

Just before they could catch them in an act, a mysterious group suddenly appeared and started fighting against these young cultivators as if they hated each other to the core. These soldiers who were waiting for the ambush were dumbfounded and couldnʼt help but look at their vice commander, who was unexpectedly stunned himself.

The soldiers started whispering to one another:

”Who are these men?”

”Oh, they are fighting all of the sudden.”

”For some reason the qi from the other group is murky and possesses a strong scent of blood.”

”Ah! Arenʼt these guys evil cultivators? No wonder they started fighting. Cultivators from the sects hated evil cultivators the most after mortals!”

The vice commander finally spoke, ”How is the removal of those talismans? Has it been all removed?”

”Not yet, Vice Commander! We are doing our best not to miss one!” A soldier responded to him.

”What should we do now, vice commander?”

”Should we attack?”

The vice commander shook his head, ”No. Surround these two groups. We must either capture them all or kill them all. Also have someone watch the sect elder, who was left in the inn.”

”As you command, sir!”

---

As the fighting between the righteous and evil cultivators continued, most of them were injured during the clash. Both sides intended to kill one another after all. It would be a surprise if they could sit down and have a talk. The conflict between the two factions had not started just today. Itʼs a long history of hate and anger between the two.

It was only after they noticed the other presences that encircled their two groups that they understood that both of them fell into a trap. The cultivators looked around them and saw the soldiers looking at them like fools, while the evil cultivators turned around and noticed that most of the kidnapped children had disappeared, plus their path to escape was blocked by numerous soldiers.

The battle between the righteous cultivators and evil cultivators had abruptly stopped at this moment, looking at the group of soldiers surrounding them.

An evil cultivator sneered, ”Mortal Soldiers, you are fearless. How the hell can you block the path of us, proud, evil!? You are seeking death!”

This evil cultivator spread poisonous smog in the area, intending to kill the mortals in encirclement. As for the righteous cultivators, they knew that to block this attack, they must use their qi and cover their whole body. This will play the role of a protection suit to protect their lives from the poison these evil cultivators use to kill people.

Hahaha~

The evil cultivators were laughing like madmen as they couldnʼt wait to see this mortal fall one by one from poison. They enjoy watching the agony and pain of their enemies until they take their last breath. But as the poison smog around the area dispersed, both the evil cultivators and righteous cultivators were shocked by the scene around them.

They saw a veil of qi much purer than the ones Cultivator Ki and the rest had been using. The surrounding soldiers stood around them with a serious and fierce gaze. The poison was useless against them. The most surviving one is the evil cultivator, who was confident of his poison.

Dumbfounded by the scene, the evil cultivator shouted in disbelief.

”Impossible! How can you... No! This is not right. How can you mortals use qi!? And itʼs much more powerful than these righteous bastards!” The evil cultivator screamed.

Cultivator Ki exclaims, ”How can you wield qi!?

The most surprised ones are the cultivators led by cultivator Ki. They immediately recognize the veil of aura surrounding these supposed to be mortal soldiers and the way they breathe.

This is a cultivation technique that is a few levels higher than what their sect possessed, and itʼs almost impossible for these mortals to have this kind of knowledge as anything related to cultivation is a close secret of the floating islands.

”No! This is not the same cultivation technique or breathing technique that the sect taught us!”

”They are just mortals! How can they have more powerful techniques than our sects possess!?”

”Wait! There is a way for these mortals to gain this knowledge. Have you forgotten what we came here for?”

”The divine one! How can the divine one choose to help the mortals instead of us cultivators!?” exclaimed Cultivator Ki in denial of this truth before their eyes.

On the other hand, the evil cultivators in the area looked interested in this ʼDivine Oneʼ these righteous bastards had just mentioned. Though they knew the rumors about the golden sky phenomenon, there were only a few of them who had seen it with their own eyes.

These evil cultivators mostly work alone and would be hiding somewhere desolated so the righteous cultivators would catch and hunt them down. So, most of them didnʼt know the special phenomenon where a huge part of the sky had turned golden. The others who had witnessed it treated that scene as a prophecy of Godʼs descent to the mortal realm.

They actually didnʼt believe it, but witnessing a group of mortals becoming this strong in just a few months left them surprised.

”Divine One?” The evil cultivators mumbled and couldnʼt help but glance at the fortress not far from them.

Seeing that almost all of these new cultivators are soldiers meant that the Divine one is living in the fortress before them. Both the evil and the righteous looked at the stone fortress walls in daze.
