Xu Haode planned to find a place to hide these ten boxes and slowly move them back later.

After the two of them finished looting, more than a dozen experts from the Heavenly Heart Sect appeared outside.

After killing them all, Chu Zhiyuan and Xu Haode left this main altar.

The white jade floor had already been shattered beyond repair, and the Golden Venerable Statue was destroyed.

This main altar was completely abandoned.

As for the other experts of the Heavenly Heart Sect, they would have to wait until the next round to be killed.

The immediate priority now was the remaining main altars.

Three days later, Chu Zhiyuan destroyed the Demon Heart Sect’s main altar.

Another three days, he destroyed the Huaisu Sect’s main altar.

...

Wearing a blue robe and with a longsword at his waist, Meng Gengbai strolled through the street.

The morning sunlight lit up the street, bright and refreshing.

He entered a restaurant and was just about to sit down when he heard someone calling him: ”Brother Meng! Brother Meng!”

He turned around and smiled: ”Brother Wan.”

Wan Bicheng was sitting at a table with two young men and women, smiling at him.

The three of them from Wan Bicheng stood up and cupped their fists in salute.

Meng Gengbai came to them and naturally sat down, forming a table of four.

”Brother Meng, what have you been busy with recently?” Wan Bicheng chuckled, ”Haven’t seen you in the sect or outside, today is the first time I’ve bumped into you.”

Meng Gengbai smiled: ”I’ve been in seclusion for sword training.”

”Your swordsmanship is already so powerful, and you’re still training?” Wan Bicheng said, ”Is it to win back against Brother Zhao?”

Meng Gengbai shook his head: ”To win against him is quite difficult, I’ll do my best.”

Wan Bicheng observed his calm expression, without excitement or anger, and curiously said: ”With your swordsmanship, you can surpass him.”

Indeed, Meng Gengbai had always been proud and aloof, not regarding the world highly.

Even against Grandmasters, he felt if they didn’t use their grandmaster cultivation, merely competing in swordsmanship or Sword Technique, they wouldn’t be his match.

But his current demeanor clearly showed a loss of spirit, without thought of avenging his past defeat.

This was indeed strange.

”Brother Meng, you can win against Zhao Rongfei!” a delicate young girl beside him said.

Meng Gengbai smiled: ”Zhao Rongfei acquired the Fourth Prince’s Sword Technique, the world’s top Sword Technique; I may not be able to win.”

The most exquisite Flowing Wind Sword Technique he had seen might not be its match.

”The Fourth Prince...” Wan Bicheng’s eyes immediately lit up.

The two beside him also got excited.

At this moment, a loud cry came from outside: ”Good news, last night the Court destroyed another two evil sect’s main altars!”

”Good——!”

People around cheered.

Whether they knew each other or not, whether they were from the Martial Arts world or not, upon hearing this news, they couldn’t help but cheer.

They finally understood the terror and evil of the evil sect’s demons.

In the period when Chu Zhiyuan was not in Tianjing, evil sect’s demons had swarmed in.

Experts from the Four Great Sects, the City Guard were all dispatched to hunt these evil sect’s demons.

The City Guard dispatched a large number of personnel stationed in busy areas and transportation nodes.

Ready at any moment to suppress the evil sect’s demons and pursue them.

As a result, people’s hearts were in turmoil, yet they could not completely eradicate the turmoil caused by the evil sect’s demons in Tianjing.

Thus, people began to think of Chu Zhiyuan, the Princely Heir of Da Jing.

With Chu Zhiyuan stationed, these evil sect’s demons would die under flying knives upon approaching Tianjing.

The chaos in Tianjing was all because Chu Zhiyuan wasn’t stationed there.

But they soon learned that Chu Zhiyuan was taking down the evil sect’s demons from behind, destroying their lairs.

After this news spread, the public order in Tianjing improved greatly.

Chu Zhiyuan’s actions forced the evil sect’s demons to withdraw from Tianjing and return to defend their main altars.

During this period of being ravaged by evil sects, the residents of Tianjing City grew to hate the evil sects extremely.

Upon hearing that Chu Zhiyuan destroyed a main altar, some even set up a tablet for Chu Zhiyuan at home for tribute.

The families of those who were harmed by evil sect’s demons felt deeply grateful to Chu Zhiyuan, and with no way to repay him, they set up tablets for reverence.

The discussion outside was unending.

”Does anyone know which number main altar this is?”

”I’ve counted, this should be the twenty-fourth main altar, our Da Meng actually has so many evil sects!”

”Truly shocking!”

”It’s fortunate the Emperor was wise to cooperate with Da Jing’s Fourth Prince, otherwise these evil sects would still be growing!”

”Alas... no words can describe it!”

”As skilled as the Heaven and Earth Constables are, they can’t possibly catch them all.”

”The key is they’re killing people by completely swallowing them, leaving not even a bone, alive or dead unseen, so the officials act as if they see nothing to avoid extra trouble.”

”These officials are truly incompetent!”

”For the sake of promotion, what won’t they do!”

”Good thing there’s Da Jing’s Fourth Prince; otherwise, who knows how big these evil sects would grow!”

”The Fourth Prince of Da Jing isn’t doing it out of pity or with a kind heart, it’s just incidental.”

”Old Song, what do you mean by this?”

”The details are a secret within secrets, outsiders don’t know.”

”Alright Old Song, you’re the most informed one around here!”

”Hehe, let me explain in detail then.”

”Hurry, hurry!”

”Cough cough, the evil sect’s demons are cunning like rabbits with multiple dens, having main altars in three regions. The Fourth Prince of Da Jing first destroyed the main altar in Da Jing, causing these demons to flee to our side’s main altar.”

”Would they also flee back?”

”Certainly, our side’s Martial Arts experts are fiercer, and these demons don’t want a tough fight.”

”This is indeed troublesome, they decided to come to our Da Meng, should we also destroy this side’s main altar?”

”Exactly so.”

”The Fourth Prince truly is formidable!”

”Hehe, now that this side’s main altar is destroyed, they’ll head to Da Zhen, hehe, how interesting!”

”Da Zhen is going to have bad luck!”

”I guess Da Zhen is figuring out how to invite the Fourth Prince of Da Jing over now.”

”I heard when the Fourth Prince first came to our Da Meng, he wanted us to agree to jointly purge the evil sect’s main altars, but the Court’s officials weren’t very willing.”

”Why weren’t they willing?”

”Who knows what those officials think? Maybe they think it’s embarrassing?”

”I think they don’t dare to purge the evil sects, fearing revenge.”

”Hmm, that seems to be it. In hindsight, the Emperor indeed had foresight.”

”Why do you say that?”

”The Emperor has a good relationship with this Fourth Prince of Da Jing and knowing this prince’s abilities, directly agreed despite opposition from the Court’s officials.”

”The Emperor is wise!”

”Destroying twenty-four sects should be about enough, right?”

”I think it should be enough. Twenty-four sects are already a lot; could there be more?”

”It should be about enough.”

”The rest is just clearing out remnants, right?”

”I think there’s no need to clear out the remnants; they’ve probably all fled to Da Zhen, so eliminating them there should suffice.”

”Haha, indeed, indeed!”

”Give back our Da Meng a clear and bright heaven!”

”The Fourth Prince truly is formidable.”

”The Court dispatched the Stepping Cloud Iron Cavalry and the Imperial Guard for assistance, seems it was the Seventh Prince and Chiliarch Qin Guanghe.”

”Chiliarch Qin will be promoted, and the Seventh Prince too.”

”With such merits, they’re bound to rise high!”

Meng Gengbai listened to this discussion and looked at Wan Bicheng.

Wan Bicheng’s eyes were shining.

Meng Gengbai sighed and said: ”It seems the Princely Heir is soon to leave our Da Meng.”

Wan Bicheng was taken aback.

Meng Gengbai said: ”He should be going to Da Zhen.”

Wan Bicheng sighed: ”What a pity.”
