Chapter 1980 - 439: The Annihilation of Xianxia Sect
Chapter 1980 - 439: The Annihilation of Xianxia Sect
The people of Xianxia City couldn't believe what they were seeing.
The same astonishment washed over Jiang's father and mother, who couldn't quite explain the miracle unfolding before them.
Little Yuxi, rushing down the mountain, saw her elder brother appearing unharmed in the distant sky and thought she was hallucinating.
The Gang Leader of the Weihu Gang lamented one moment and was ecstatic the next.
It was the first time he had ever wished so desperately for Lin Yifan to be alive; anyone who knew would think he'd gone mad.
The smiles on the faces of the Xianxia Sect disciples and the Fifth Elder froze, coming to an abrupt halt.
This situation had been beyond their expectations, utterly unbelievable.
"This can't be real."
"We must be seeing things."
The Xianxia Sect disciples couldn't believe it and rubbed their eyes for a clearer look, yet the results remained the same.
On the other side, Lin Yifan, standing mid-air, watched the Xianxia Sect Sect Leader plummeting with a dumbfounded expression below and slightly curled his lips.
He immediately continued holding the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, wielding the Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, and summoned five bolts of lightning to fiercely strike the severely injured and rapidly recovering Xianxia Sect Sect Leader.
Seeing the powerful black lightning appear in the distance, those doubting Lin Yifan's appearance as an illusion were thoroughly awakened.
Lin Yifan was indeed alive and was continuing his attack on the Xianxia Sect Sect Leader.
At this moment, even the Xianxia Sect disciples and the Fifth Elder felt like dying.
Not even their trump card ambush worked; what else could they use to turn the tide?
The Sect Leader of Xianxia Sect was even more despairing.
Now, with wounds all over his body, if a few more bolts of lightning struck, he might truly not hold on.
Although he had swallowed an elixir to heal his wounds, the speed of healing clearly couldn't keep up with the speed of damage.
Without a path through healing, he kept pondering other possible solutions.
But after thinking over and over, he couldn't come up with another trump card.
Helpless, he had no choice but to resign to his fate.
"Boom boom boom!"
After several rounds of Five Thunder Bombardment, the Xianxia Sect Sect Leader could no longer hold on and quickly fell to the ground, hanging by a thread.
Witnessing this scene, the people of Xianxia City, the City Lord of Xianxia City, Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, Little Yuxi, and the Gang Leader of Weihu Gang were all overjoyed.
The great villain had finally been wiped out, and Xianxia City would have a period of peace.
In contrast, the Xianxia Sect disciples and the remaining Fifth Elder were exceedingly mournful and deeply worried.
Now that the tide had turned against them, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
So they scattered like birds on a branch, fleeing at the first sign of danger.
In front of the Xianxia Sect mountain gate, the Gang Leader of Weihu Gang laughed heartily to the sky, overjoyed.
His wish had finally come true; he wouldn't be lonely in the Netherworld.
The City Lord of Xianxia City sighed at how quickly the situation had turned.
The seemingly unbreakable local tyrant had been completely wiped out in a day, leaving one sighing in disbelief.
The people of Xianxia City felt the same.
However, Jiang's father and mother harbored no deep hatred for the Xianxia Sect, so their emotions were rather ordinary, not as exhilarated as when they saw the Weihu Gang's downfall.
In Yuxi's eyes, there was only her elder brother, not even caring about victory or defeat, as long as her elder brother was safe.
After severely injuring the Xianxia Sect Sect Leader, Lin Yifan quickly flew down to his side and coldly asked, "In a few days, will someone called the Moon God Lord come to Xianxia Mountain or the Xianxia Sect?"
"Moon God Lord? Who is that?" the Xianxia Sect Sect Leader counter-questioned, the answer obvious.
Lin Yifan felt deceived, possibly falling victim to baseless rumors.
Without verified information, the news remained a mirage, and he might have been overthinking.
The Xianxia Sect Sect Leader was useless now, and Lin Yifan immediately dealt the killing blow, ending the Sect Leader's life.
With that, the era of the local tyrant came to a complete end, vanishing without a trace.
Having dispatched the Xianxia Sect Sect Leader, Lin Yifan immediately returned to the Xianxia Sect to eliminate the remaining henchmen.
When he reached the mountain gate again, he found no one there; earlier, the dying Weihu Gang Leader had chosen to take his own life.
That was well, saving him the trouble.
Continuing the search and pursuit, he eventually took down the Fifth Elder of the Xianxia Sect and some disciples.
The remaining Xianxia Sect disciples were just lucky not to have fled in the direction of the Fifth Elder.
In any case, with the elder gone, the remaining disciples were just small fry, posing no threat to a cultivator with any strength.
Thus, Xianxia City should experience peace for quite a long time.
After dealing with some remnants, when he left the Xianxia Sect and prepared to descend the mountain, he found the people of Xianxia City gathered on the open ground in front of the mountain gate.
Upon seeing him, these people immediately knelt down, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor, for your righteous intervention, saving the people of Xianxia City from suffering."
"Thank you!"
"Thanks again!"
Lin Yifan truly couldn't accept such a grand gesture and hurriedly went over to help the elders and folks of Xianxia City rise.
"Fellow elders and folks, there's no need for formality, please rise quickly."
The people of Xianxia City, especially the elderly, wept tears of joy, truly moved.
They poured out their tales of suffering and hardship over the years, their emotions incredibly stirred.
Listening to their stories, Lin Yifan also felt a wave of discomfort, not expecting the people of Xianxia City to have endured so much pain.
If he hadn't heard the rumors about An Qi appearing here, he wouldn't have come.
And if he hadn't come, the people here would have continued to suffer.
He was quite curious as to why the City Lord of Xianxia City didn't do anything; were those officials just doing nothing, or were they accomplices?
Just as he was about to inquire who the Lord of the Lower City was, Cao Cao arrived.
The City Lord of Xianxia City wore a grateful expression, thanking Lin Yifan profusely for uprooting the scourge harming the people of Xianxia City.
Lin Yifan interrupted him, questioning why he hadn't relieved the people's burdens, protected their rights, or safeguarded them.
The City Lord of Xianxia City had his own unavoidable difficulties and poured out his concerns.
After listening, Lin Yifan sympathized with the City Lord's predicament.
The City Lord had his own limitations, after all, just a small city lord with little influence; and since the Xianxia Sect colluded with high-ranking officials, his pleas couldn't reach the Emperor's ears.
Additionally, with feedback from the people of Xianxia City, it appeared that the City Lord was indeed a rather conscientious official,
so Lin Yifan completely dismissed any thoughts of killing the City Lord of Xianxia City.
If the City Lord knew Lin Yifan had considered killing him, he would have been scared to death. After all, Lin Yifan had killed the Xianxia Sect Sect Leader; killing the City Lord would have been a matter of moments.
After consoling the people of Xianxia City, Lin Yifan led everyone down the mountain back to the city.
The City Lord of Xianxia City stayed behind to inventory the treasures of the Xianxia Sect, intending to distribute them to the people of Xianxia City as restitution.
These treasures had been amassed by exploiting the people's wealth; the rest served as compensation for the innocent lives lost.
