Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 215: Total Annihilation

When Gu Nan appeared in the Tang family, it was right when both sides had their swords drawn and the atmosphere was the heaviest.

"My young disciple died unjustly. My Lord, please give my Mystical Heaven Dao Hall justice," Elder Pan spoke first while bowing, not giving Lan Si a chance to speak at all and setting the tone for this matter.

As his voice fell, all of Mystical Heaven Dao Hall’s disciples behind him also spoke in unison, "My Lord, please give my Mystical Heaven Dao Hall justice!"

There were nearly a hundred disciples of the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall present, and they were all elites. After all, Elder Pan’s core disciple had been killed, so any disciple with a little status would be present.

Tang Xuan felt a bitter pain when she saw this. The Mystical Heaven Dao Hall had too deep of a foundation. Even setting aside Elder Pan himself, their Dao Hall was still too strong for people to overlook.

The Cang Lian Dao Lord lowered her head slightly and subtly took a step back.

She knew better than anyone else why the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall was so powerful. Elder Pan's hundreds of years of teaching and accumulation had made the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall into an extremely cohesive Dao Hall.

To take the simplest example, one of Elder Pan’s disciples who had also reached the Dao Lord level was still part of the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall even now!

He was undoubtedly already strong enough to open his own Dao Hall, yet he was willing to stay by his teacher’s side. This was enough to illustrate the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall’s power.

‘Even if you’re a Void Cutter powerful figure, faced with such a strong Mystical Heaven Dao Hall, won’t you still need to consider people's hearts? You can’t do whatever you want now, right?’

However, Gu Nan didn't even look at them. He turned to Lan Si. "What's the matter?"

Lan Si took a deep breath, her heart settling down a little. Since Gu Nan was willing to listen to her side of the story, there was at least room to redeem this situation.

"Sister Tang Xuan accidentally killed Elder Pan's third disciple—" She knew that she didn't have many opportunities to speak, so she tried to explain concisely.

"It wasn’t an accident!" A powerful and resonating voice leisurely took over Lan Si’s sentence.

Everyone turned to the speaker and saw a person walk out from behind Elder Pan. He was dressed in a blue scholarly gown, with a bookish air about his face. He looked more like a scholar than a cultivator.

But those who knew his identity dared not treat him as a scholar.

He was the only disciple of Elder Pan willing to stay in the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall even after becoming a Dao Lord. He was known as the one skilled in the “three talents of poetry, calligraphy, and swordsmanship,” otherwise known as the Three Talents Daoist.

The Three Talents Daoist looked very young in appearance, and his personality was also as dauntless and proactive as that of a youth.

"My Third Junior Brother was working for the organization when he died in this woman’s hands. If My Lord and Miss Lan are determined to protect this person, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of everyone here!"

Although the Three Talents Daoist had a grave and stern expression, there was a trace of self-satisfaction in his eyes.

‘So what even if you’re a Void Cutter expert? The book is right. Although heaven and earth may be vast, reasonableness is the most vast. Our side is in the right no matter how you look at this matter. What's there to be afraid of?’

Gu Nan’s calm gaze fell on him. He waved casually, and an attack containing the power of shadows instantly exploded on the Three Talents Daoist.

Boom!

This young Dao Lord seemed to have received a heavy punch and coughed up blood almost instantly, flying up and slamming into the ceiling on the other side.

Nobody knew if he was still alive when he finally fell, injuring several people.

"My Lord!" Elder Pan suddenly glowered furiously. No matter how good his self-restraint was, he still couldn't help flying into a rage at this time and practically wanted to interrogate Gu Nan.

Fortunately, his remaining rationality made him remember the identity of the person in front of him—this was a Void Cutter cultivator who could kill them more easily than killing chickens.

Gu Nan looked at Lan Si again and still spoke calmly without even changing his tone, "I asked what you want to do. I didn’t give you that dagger so you can use it as a cell phone; I gave it so that you can kill anyone who opposes you."

Gu Nan's voice echoed slowly, and Lan Si was still in a daze. Such an idea had never even occurred to her before, and it was hard to accept immediately.

The Cang Lian Dao Lord also stared at them with startled eyes. She really didn’t expect that Gu Nan would actually act like this!

Completely disregarding people's hearts, completely ignoring what subordinates think?

All the members of the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall on the other side were already extremely furious.

Not everyone was afraid of death, especially when the bullying was so blatant. Many people could be surprisingly tough in such circumstances.

"Fuck! So a powerful figure can be unreasonable?!”

"Brothers, we’ll fight to the end!"

"That's right! Our Mystical Heaven Dao Hall doesn’t have any cowards. Fight!"

"Shut up!" Elder Pan exclaimed with wide eyes after listening to the tumultuous noise in his ears. His shout managed to silence everyone.

Then he slowly turned around, forced himself to suppress his anger, and said in a low voice, "We, the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall, will withdraw from the Heaven and Earth Committee and seal our gates for a hundred years. My Lord, please allow us this."

"Elder Pan!"

"Master!"

All the disciples couldn't help crying out sorrowfully. One senior brother was killed and the other injured, yet Elder Pan was still forced to bow to the other party. When had they ever felt such humiliation before?

When Elder Pan finished this sentence, he kept a bowed posture. However, he waited for a long time, only to find that Gu Nan didn't even glance at him.

"Did you hear me? If you heard me, then do it," Gu Nan pointed to the people in front of him and said to Lan Si.

"Ah?!” Lan Si’s face was horrified. She didn't expect that Gu Nan’s threat wasn’t actually a bluff—he was serious…

Elder Pan was equally stunned. He said angrily, "My Lord cherishes the world. Do you not even have this much generosity—"

Boom!

A denser power of shadows emerged, directly blowing Elder Pan into a bloody mist mixed with pieces of flesh and blood, splashing all over the surrounding people.

The entire venue fell into a dead silence.

Only Gu Nan could still speak calmly, "See? If you don't kill them, they’ll kill you and the entire Tang family. Moreover, if you let one go, there will be one more person staring at the Tang family day and night, waiting for the chance to kill them."

Gu Nan's voice was like the abyssal devil's whisper, pushing Lan Si's bottom line down little by little until her heart was completely occupied by thoughts of killing.

Lan Si lowered her head and looked at the pitch-black dagger in her hand. A burst of information inexplicably flooded into her mind—it was about the dagger’s true power.

Gu Nan's figure had already drifted far away, landing at the edge of the group. Only his voice kept ringing in Lan Si's ear.

"As long as you have absolute power, how the world thinks of you is meaningless."

"If one person curses you, then kill one person. If a thousand people point their fingers at you, then kill a thousand. If you kill until all the remaining people fear you, naturally no one will oppose you anymore."

"The one who controls other people’s life and death receives the key to freely act as they wish."

The soft, beguiling rhetoric kept echoing in Lan Si's ears. The girl's eyes reddened further, and her body subconsciously began to move.

A moment before Lan Si threw herself into the crowd, Cang Lian quietly withdrew and appeared behind Gu Nan.

She knew that her plot had completely failed, but she might still be able to achieve her objective.

"Does Lord want to seal off this news or inform the organization as soon as possible that the Mystical Heaven Dao Lord gathered people to create a disaster, violating the organization’s regulations with only himself to blame?"

Cang Lian spoke respectfully, her expression looking a little pleased.

She believed that since Gu Nan was determined to wipe out the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall, she must block the news and pour dirty water on Elder Pan in passing.

No matter how many people ultimately believed her words, dead men tell no tales. It wasn’t like they could ask Elder Pan for his side of the story.

The Cang Lian Dao Lord revealed a smile. While everyone else was busy being shocked by Gu Nan's actions, she was the only one who thought about handling the aftermath. Wouldn’t this one like a smart person?

"Why?" But Gu Nan just looked back in genuine astonishment. He didn’t look like he was pretending at all.

Cang Lian was more surprised than he was and subconsciously explained, "If news about this matter spreads, then people might oppose…"

"Whoever makes trouble can be killed," Gu Nan waved his hand, entirely unconcerned.
