Chapter 151: Chapter 151: That's not something you can say lightly
"Who's got the guts to knock down that coffin with the fancy gadget in their mouth?" That's Carolyn from the Valley of Healers, one of the top ten beauties of Cloudview County. I'd recognize her even without her skin. Who's with me to help her out?"
"Damn! Can't you see Blackwood is out for revenge?!!"
The disciples of the Sky Sect could feel it—the dead of winter was upon them!
In front of the great hall, Daoist Warren and his disciple, Daoist Wesley, were too preoccupied to pay attention to Elizabeth and Elder Felix, who lay at the doorstep. The couple had been slashed so badly at the back that their flesh was flayed open, revealing their innards—a mere superficial wound compared to the real horror.
Their souls had been burnt to a mere thread of life, driving them to madness, making living worse than death.
"Follow me to meet the people of Blackwood."
For some reason, Daoist Warren seemed unusually calm as he ascended into the clouds.
Daoist Wesley's eyes flickered with a hint of terror, but after glancing at his fellow disciples still screaming for help, he took a deep breath and followed Daoist Warren to the coffin of eternal death.
But...
The people of Blackwood were nowhere to be seen!
Daoist Warren furrowed his brows. When he had emerged from seclusion, he had used his Competent ability to survey the world and had clearly seen the people of Blackwood arriving. But now, he couldn't sense their presence at all!
The coffin of eternal death stood solitary like a lone sail.
Instead...
"Greetings, Elder Warren. Three hundred years ago, I benefited greatly from your teachings!"
"Where are the culprits from Blackwood? Why are they not showing themselves?"
"Ha ha ha, to think that in pursuit of mere Blackwood, I would meet an old friend unseen for a millennium. How are you all doing?"
At Sky Sect, masters from all directions have arrived, and in an instant, the disciples of Sky Sect were wide-eyed with astonishment. These were the renowned masters of Cloudview County!
Daoist Warren looked around and sighed imperceptibly before bowing to the crowd, "Fellow Daoist Gary, Master Williams, Abbot David."
As Daoist Warren greeted each one, Daoist Wesley was overjoyed. He knew these people; even if he hadn't met them personally, their images still existed in his intelligence reports. This was a compulsory course for the leaders of various sects and clans because these individuals were the heavens of Cloudview County!
In the whole of Cloudview County, there were only twelve known Competent masters, and now, three of them had come for Blackwood!
Gary, who looked as adorable as a little girl but was actually the senior elder of Emerald Phoenix Peak, was dressed in a green robe, revealing smooth calves and wearing green cloth shoes that showed her clean feet. Her hair was tied in twin ponytails, and her face was impeccably carved, evoking a sense of pity at first glance.
The middle-aged man, rugged yet majestic, was Donald, the only Competent patriarch in Cloudview County from the Williams family.
Master Abbot David, the head of all Buddhist sects in Cloudview County, had kind and compassionate eyes. His monk's robe was extremely worn, revealing a pair of black feet, and he was chanting Buddhist scriptures at the moment. One could tell he was a monk who had recited millions of Buddhist scriptures and traveled millions of miles.
Moreover, around thirty Developing Skill masters from various sects and clans had gathered. It seemed that the top thirty percent of Cloudview County's Psychics had assembled!
"Blackwood truly brought disaster upon itself!" Daoist Wesley said quietly, his lips curling slightly. The fear he had felt when he walked out of the grand hall with his master had vanished, and he even felt like finding a secluded place to laugh wildly.
However, after Daoist Warren and the other masters finished their greetings, his expression changed when he heard what was said next.
"Fellow Daoists, please return. The people from Blackwood have come seeking revenge; this is a matter of enmity between Sky Sect and Blackwood, and we need not trouble you to go to such lengths," Daoist Warren said coldly, issuing an order for the guests to leave.
"That's not something you can say lightly."
Donald smiled, "Blackwood has been reckless at Azure Cloud Pavilion, insulting all of us in Cloudview County. Ten thousand years ago, my Williams family received help from Azure Cloud Pavilion, allowing us to continue our legacy. If Blackwood is an enemy of Azure Cloud Pavilion, then they are an enemy of my Williams family."
Hearing this, Abbot David brought his palms together, "Amitabha, Blackwood has committed too many killings. Our Buddha said we should not stand by idly,"
Gary showed her small silver teeth, "Then Blackwood cannot remain in Cloudview County. Even if other Daoists do not come, having us here is enough. Consider it as if I, Gary, have come out of hundreds of years of seclusion just to relax. Moreover, Carolyn of the Hundred Flowers Valley is my disciple, and Blackwood has already created karma with my Emerald Phoenix Peak."
Outside Sky Sect, the thirty-plus Developing Skill individuals were silent in the presence of these four Competent masters—they had no place to interject.
As Donald glanced over them, everyone echoed in agreement.
"Elder Warren, with such a demon emerging in Cloudview County, it is time for us Psychics to unite and exorcise the demon to protect the path!"
"Yes, the affairs of Sky Sect are also the affairs of us Psychics!"
"Until Blackwood is eradicated, we cannot rest easy!"
"..."
Hearing these words, Daoist Warren simply shook his head without saying much, as he saw his disciple laughing. How could he not know that the so-called exorcism and guarding the path were all pretenses!

At his level, he generally stayed out of worldly affairs. Moreover, above the Competent level, Psychics have an unspoken agreement not to interfere in the feuds of the younger generations, not to bully the weak, and not to intervene unless there is a catastrophe that could lead to the annihilation of a sect.
But today, these old timers had all emerged from seclusion, talking about exorcism and guarding the path?
If they truly had this intention, why were they not seen at the Thunderfire Demon Cave, where demonically possessed Psychics gather?
It's simply because they fear the Demon Lord sealed within. Such events of clan annihilation are not uncommon; the Blackwood have killed nearly two million, but those were all Psychics.
His own Sky Sect has fought with the Xuanwu Gate in recent years, causing the deaths of no less than a million ordinary people.
As for the Blackwoods, the real reason they want to eliminate them is simply because they see the exceptional talents of the Blackwood clan and fear that they will become too powerful in the future!
