Chapter 886: Chapter 885: Disaster Befalls the Back to Heaven Sect

Yundu Mountain, Sunset Gorge.

This gorge was suitably located, surrounded by cliffs and precipices, with an entrance only three meters wide. Usually, daylight scarcely reached the gorge’s depths. Combined with the poisonous creatures dwelling there and the decaying leaves, a dense and deadly miasma had formed. Hence, it was rare for people to venture inside.

At this moment, over twenty individuals were hidden among the trees within the gorge. The one leading them was Yue Qianfeng from the Divine Physicians Alliance. The rest were from the Divine Farmer Sect and the Back to Heaven Sect.

Upon learning about the situation of the Back to Heaven Sect, Jeang Zier immediately dispatched Yue Qianfeng with a team to receive them. Yue Qianfeng led the team himself and after a journey, finally intercepted these individuals. However, on their way back, they ran directly into an ambush jointly orchestrated by the Nie Family and two other clans.

Yue Qianfeng was strong, but the Nie Family and the two other clans had a total of three Venerable Realm experts launching a combined attack. Yue Qianfeng, overwhelmed, was injured on the way. Had it not been for three lives sacrificed by the Divine Farmer Sect to save him, his chances of survival would have been slim.

Fleeing all the way to Yundu Mountain, they were caught up with once again. Without any other choice, they hid inside Sunset Gorge.

Fortunately, both the Divine Farmer Sect and the Back to Heaven Sect were medical sects with antidote pills on hand. The miasma couldn’t harm them for the time being, serving as a natural barrier.

Though the Nie Family and the other two clans were strong, they dared not rashly enter Sunset Gorge. The miasma’s toxicity was vast, and only those in the Fusion Realm could move about inside.

However, the miasma also greatly reduced visibility within the gorge. Even the three Venerable ones did not dare to enter rashly, fearing an ambush. Being injured inside, coupled with the miasma’s assault, would be extremely dangerous.

Thus, they stood guard outside Sunset Gorge. With only one exit, those inside wishing to leave had no choice but to come through here. Unless they never wanted to leave, they would eventually have to come out and face death.

The two sides had been in a standoff here for half a day when a Nie Family man approached the entrance of the gorge and shouted, ”Friends from Back to Heaven Sect, we of the Nie Family merely wish to talk and bear no severe ill will. Why avoid us so? I know your sect members carry antidote pills, but how many do you have? How much miasma is in the gorge? If you stay inside until the pills run out, won’t you have to come out anyway? Rather than wasting the antidote pills, why not come out now and have a chat while we’re still patient?”

There was a deathly silence in the valley. The Nie Family man snickered coldly and shouted again, ”My friends, do you really intend to stubbornly persist like this? Don’t say I didn’t warn you, there’s no food in the valley. Fleeing in such a rush, could you possibly have brought provisions? Without service to call or send messages for help, how long could you last? Even if you could send messages, what difference would it make? We three great families stand together in guard here, with three Sovereigns as guardians. Even if the entire Divine Physicians Alliance came, they couldn’t save you. Besides, the Divine Physicians Alliance has its own problems right now, how can they spare time to save you? I suggest you stop struggling and just come out. Once we run out of patience, even if you come out then, we might not be willing to talk anymore!”

Still silence prevailed in the valley. The Nie Family man frowned, shrugged at his companions, showing a face of helplessness.

”No rush!” Suddenly, a man spoke out, ”Our people have already brought a few from Back to Heaven Sect over, and soon we’ll just kill these people at the entrance to the valley, to see how long Back to Heaven Sect can hide.”

”Actually, we might as well just roll huge stones from the mountain and crush them in the valley,” someone suggested in a low voice.

”No!” The man shook his head decisively: ”These people took important Secret Techniques and treasures from Back to Heaven Sect. If we attack rashly and they destroy everything in a do-or-die resistance, wouldn’t that be for nothing?”

Everyone nodded immediately; their busy efforts were all for the legacy of Back to Heaven Sect.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the mountain. Following close behind, a group of people approached.

Seeing these people, everyone present was overjoyed. The leading man stood up and laughed, ”Finally, they’ve been brought over!”

They were Nie Family members, who had brought some of Back to Heaven Sect from their family grounds to threaten those in the valley.

The Back to Heaven Sect members hiding in the valley were elders of the sect. After the attack on Back to Heaven Sect, they immediately fled with the sect’s Secret Techniques and treasures, thus temporarily saving the lives of their fellow sect members. If these items fell into Nie Family’s hands, the Back to Heaven Sect members would lose all their value!

”Second Uncle, as per your instruction, we’ve brought the people,” said one of the men who’d arrived, smirking, ”Which one do we start with?”

The Nie Family man’s gaze swept over the Back to Heaven Sect members and finally landed on a lovely-looking lady. He sneered, ”This woman is the Sect Master’s Lady of Back to Heaven Sect, let’s start with her. Her daughter is in the valley; I don’t believe they’ll be able to sit still!”

”Alrighty!” Laughed the man, dragging the lovely-faced woman out and bringing her to the entrance of the valley. He called out loudly, ”Friends from Back to Heaven Sect, do you want to see your Sect Master’s Lady? We’ve been quite polite to her although we’ve captured her. Come out and confer together, and we can continue to treat her well. If you refuse, don’t blame us for not being courteous. Tsk tsk, the Sect Master’s Lady is well-preserved; I reckon quite a few men would be interested in her!”

Finally, there was a stir within the valley, and a woman’s crying could be heard, but it quickly ceased.

Hearing this sound, the man grew more triumphant, laughing loudly, ”So, have you not made up your minds yet? Shall I help you think faster by starting to strip the Sect Master’s Lady?”
