Chapter 489 Gale Sect’s destruction
?
When the Gale Sect ancestor, Feng Mo fell to the ground, there was a large crater that was formed.
Above him, the sword cultivator that had suddenly appeared slowly floated down, stopping right over him.
Comparing the two, it was clear that the sword cultivator had gotten off much easier than Feng Mo. However, the sword cultivator still had some blood dripping down the side of his left arm.
It seemed that even if the sword cultivator had won, he had not gotten out of this fight without any injuries.
But of course, it was Feng Mo who had gotten the short end of the stick in this fight since he was laying in the crater covered in blood.
When the members of the Gale Sect saw this, they knew that this was all over.
They knew that no matter how they tried to fight back, they wouldn't be able to fight their way out of this.
After all, there was no one left that would be able to stop the sword cultivator if he joined the fight. Not to mention, their Great Elders had been injured because of General Lu's attack just now.
So they wouldn't even be able to hold off General Lu and the other Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators behind him.
If they continued fighting, it would only lead to them being slaughtered.
Biting his lip, the sect master of the Gale Sect had a very unwilling look in his eyes as he said, "Stop! Stop! We surrender!"
The other members of the Gale Sect looked at the sect master with surprised looks, but there wasn't a single one of them that stopped them. Even the Great Elders understood that the fight was already over now that the ancestor had been reduced to this state.
But to their surprise, General Lu said, "There will be no surrender! There will only be extinction! That is the order that we have been given!"
When the members of the Gale Sect heard this, they couldn't help revealing shocked looks.
After all, they couldn't believe that General Lu would be this firm in declaring that they would all be slaughtered.
There was no reason that they could think that the Mu Empire would be this determined in slaughtering them. They hadn't done anything to harm the Mu Empire and the Gale Sect was filled with experts.
If they captured them instead of killing them, they could distribute them among the army and increase their own power. Each sect that was subdued would increase the overall power of the Mu Empire after all.
So why were they so insistent on slaughtering them?
There didn't seem to be anything to gain and it wasn't as if they had some deep grudge with the Mu Empire.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have worked with the twelfth prince in the first place.
The sect master was about to say something, but before he could...General Lu shouted, "Kill!"
The members of the Gale Sect were caught off guard by this sudden charge.
They had all stopped and had been standing in a daze after seeing their ancestor drop to the ground, so they didn't have their guards up at all when these soldiers charged at them.
The experts among the soldiers also went to town, slaughtering the elders that were supporting the inner sect disciples.
Seeing this, Feng Mo tried to stand up, but all that happened was that a sword fell down. It stabbed right into his chest and pinned him to the ground, making him unable to move at all.
The sect master of the Gale Sect watched as the members of his sect were slaughtered while gritting his teeth.
His eyes were filled with hatred, but he forced himself to calm down since if he didn't make a decision at this time, there was no one left.
With no other choice...the only thing that they could do was...
"Run! Everyone, run without caring about anything! Just do your best to escape and we'll think about taking our revenge later!"
The sect master had given the final order to scatter like cockroaches.
At this point, the pride of their Gale Sect didn't matter anymore. They were trapped like rats and the only way that they would be able to escape is if they ran with all of their might.
Only then would they have a chance to escape.
So the Gale Sect disciples no longer had any hesitation and turned scatter to the four winds.
The four Great Elders took disciples and elders in different directions, going all out to protect them. It seemed that they didn't even care about their own lives anymore as they did all that they could to ensure that the disciples and elders would survive.
When enemies were desperate like this, they were the most dangerous.
After all, a cornered beast would fight without care for their own life.
And that was the current situation of the Gale Sect.
But they had their orders and they couldn't let anyone from the Gale Sect escape. If they allowed them to escape, this would be creating a hidden danger for them in the future.
General Lu gave the order for those Nascent Soul Realm soldiers to chase down the Great Elders, but he didn't go with them.
Instead, he landed where Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao were standing.
He turned to Mu Bao Bao and gave a bow before saying, "Your highness, please do what you want to do."
Mu Bao Bao had been waiting the entire time to join the battle since General Lu had clearly stated that she and Lin Fan's troops wouldn't be able to join the battle unless he gave permission. She knew that this was to protect her and she needed to care about the troops from Dungeon City, so she went along with it.
Now that they were given the order, she just looked at Lin Fan.
Seeing him give a nod, she immediately led the Dungeon City troops into battle.
Before even coming to the Gale Sect or meeting up with General Lu's troops, they had already agreed that Mu Bao Bao would lead the troops from Dungeon City into battle.
This was their chance to take revenge and Lin Fan wouldn't get in the way of it.
With this, Mu Bao Bao led the troops from Dungeon City onto the battlefield, sweeping through the disciples of the Gale Sect.
During all of this, the four Great Elders of the Gale Sect tried all that they could to stop the soldiers from slaughtering the members of the Gale Sec, bringing those members of the Gale Sect away from this place.
Three of the Great Elders of the Gale Sect were stopped by the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators of the army. The remaining Great Elder was able to escort those under his protection down the mountain. At the same time, the ones that the other three Great Elders protected were able to escape since they had the three Great Elders protecting them.
But before they could escape...there was a new line of soldiers that appeared around the bottom of the mountain.
The moment that the members of the Gale Sect saw these new soldiers, they all froze in place with shocked looks on their faces.
They had never expected General Lu to be this prepared, preparing even a blockade for when they tried to escape.
The last Great Elder that was free knew that this was his time to go all out, so without care, he charged at the blockade around the mountain in an attempt to create space for the members of the Gale Sect to run.
It was just too bad that General Lu had already expected this.
There was a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator that came out from this new blockade line that clashed with the last Great Elder.
The Great Elder was immediately pushed back by this Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator,? unable to do a thing to help them.
In the end, the members of the Gale Sect were left to face the blockade of soldiers all on their own.
Since they were left here as a blockade, they naturally had the strength to ensure that no one would escape. General Lu had left his elites to completely surround the Gale Sect's mountain, creating a line that no one could penetrate.
Even the Gale Sect elders were pushed back by the elite cultivators hiding among the troops.
Since the Gale Sect members were exhausted from fighting earlier, there was no fight at all as they were slaughtered by the fresh troops that had surrounded them. There were only screams of pain and sorrow that rang out as the blockade moved closer and closer, trapping them on the mountain.
At the same time, there were soldiers from the main army that chased after these members of the Gale Sect that ran away, so they were being pinched in from both sides.
So all that was left was an absolute slaughter of the Gale Sect disciples and elders.
The sect master of the Gale Sect had stayed behind to buy time, but when he saw that everyone from the Gale Sect had been slaughtered, all he could do was cry out in despair.
"What did our Gale Sect do to deserve this!" The sect master of the Gale Sect roared at General Lu.
General Lu didn't say a thing and instead left it up to Mu Bao Bao.
Mu Bao Bao had seen the sect master, so she had left the command of the Dungeon City troops to Senior Brother Ying while she came to face the sect master.
