The identities of these three were anything but simple; they were disciples of an Ancient Sect, the Nine Swords Sect.

As the world underwent a great transformation and Spiritual Qi surged, the Ancient Sects, once hidden away in deep mountains and ancient forests, began to emerge one by one.

The Nine Swords Sect’s code had always been to slay demons, vanquish evil, and uphold justice.

After leaving their mountain, the trio of Duan Qiantian, Fang Qiaoling, and Cheng Cang had traveled the lands, righting wrongs.

Upon arriving in Nanwu Province, they discovered a mysterious faction secretly abducting people for some unknown purpose.

After some investigation, they discovered that an organization from the Ten Thousand Mountains called the Evil Bone Cave was behind it.

So they followed the clues, tracking their quarry deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The night passed uneventfully.

「The next day.」

Duan Qiantian and the other two quietly made their way toward the Evil Bone Cave’s main lair.

Their position was already close to the lair. After nearly a full day of searching, they finally found the entrance to a hidden cave.

The area around the cave was covered in footprints, a clear sign of heavy traffic.

”This cave must be the Evil Bone Cave’s lair.”

”According to our intelligence, the High Priest of the Evil Bone Cave is an Abnormal Person at the Seven Spirits Realm. The other Protectors are merely True Qi Martial Artists and pose little threat.”

”We’ll sneak inside and assassinate the High Priest first.”

”The small fry that are left won’t be anything to worry about.”

Duan Qiantian whispered from his hiding spot in a patch of grass.

Among the three, he was the most senior, so he naturally took command.

Fang Qiaoling and Cheng Cang were used to taking orders from Duan Qiantian and had no objections.

Once darkness fell completely, the three of them quietly slipped into the cave.

Inside, a five-man squad from the Evil Bone Cave was on guard duty.

However, they were all resting in a corner and didn’t spot Duan Qiantian’s group immediately.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

Cheng Cang’s figure flitted past like a ghost, his blade a cold glint of light.

SCHLICK!

Heads flew into the air and tumbled to the ground.

He had killed five men in an instant, yet Cheng Cang remained expressionless as he sheathed his longsword.

Meanwhile, Fang Qiaoling discreetly scattered a type of powder.

The powder was meant to mask the smell of blood.

Duan Qiantian gave a hand signal.

The trio quickly moved deeper into the cave.

They had to move quickly, pressing deep into the cave before anyone from the Evil Bone Cave could react.

They pressed onward.

Any Evil Bone Cave patrols they encountered were swiftly cut down by Cheng Cang’s sword.

After passing through a deep tunnel, they emerged into a vast cavern deep within the mountain, dotted with many dark stone huts.

At its very center stood a White Bone Altar.

The altar looked utterly barbaric and gruesome, constructed from countless human skulls and exuding a sinister, bizarre aura.

A large, bald man in a white robe sat cross-legged in the center of the altar.

In front of the altar, dozens of ordinary people were bound hand and foot, forced to kneel before the White Bone Altar with faces full of terror and despair.

Seeing this, Duan Qiantian breathed a small sigh of relief.

’Thankfully, these people haven’t been sacrificed yet.’

He could see the disciples of the Evil Bone Cave bustling about, making preparations for a ritual.

Seeing this, Duan Qiantian gestured to Cheng Cang and Fang Qiaoling.

Their mutual understanding was so profound that without a word, the other two instantly grasped his intent.

They were still some distance from the altar’s center. Crossing that open space to assassinate the bald man directly would be incredibly difficult.

Therefore, someone needed to create a diversion, allowing Duan Qiantian to slip in unnoticed and slay the man!

The choice for the diversion naturally fell to Cheng Cang and Fang Qiaoling.

The two of them revealed themselves in the heart of the Evil Bone Cave’s lair and, without a word, drew their swords and began to cut a bloody swath through their enemies.

They cut down every disciple of the Evil Bone Cave they saw!

Soon, the commotion attracted the bald man’s attention.

”High Priest, two intruders are killing their way inside!”

A Protector hurried forward to report.

The bald man frowned. ”Who are they?”

The Protector shook his head. ”I don’t know. They just charged in without a word and started killing everyone they saw!”

”And their Swordsmanship is incredible. Our disciples are no match at all; they’re all being cut down in a single strike!”

The bald man grew even more puzzled.

Killing was a natural part of survival in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

But for someone to just charge in and start a massacre like this was extremely rare.

”Four Great Protectors, I’ll have to trouble you to deal with this,” the bald man ordered immediately.

’Regardless of their motives, I have to deal with them first.’

’Besides, based on the noise, they’re already getting very close to the White Bone Altar.’

”Yes!”

From a dark corner behind the White Bone Altar, four figures in white robes and blank white masks emerged.

After speaking that single word in low voices, the four figures vanished like ghosts from the area around the altar.

SCHLICK!

Cheng Cang’s sword pierced the throat of an Evil Bone Cave disciple.

As blood sprayed from the wound,

a beam of white light shot toward his right eye.

The attacker was one of the Evil Bone Cave’s Great Protectors.

But Cheng Cang just sneered. ”Too slow!”

With a flick of his wrist, his blade flashed upward in an arc, like the rising sun.

SLASH!

Before the Great Protector could react, Cheng Cang had sliced off his arm!
