Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God

“Eh? Do you think it’s that demon child? Maybe only he has such capabilities!”

“Yeah, that’s possible!”

“I don’t think so. Demon Child has been sealed away for countless years, and his powers have reduced significantly. He wouldn’t make enemies everywhere when he has just returned to the world. Although he’s called Demon Child, his intelligence isn’t like any ordinary child. It wasn’t easy for him to regain his freedom, so he wouldn’t dig his own grave like this!”

“So if that’s the case, what could have happened to the Netherworld Demon Sect? Had Mo Lin been crazy enough to use his disciples as sacrifices to his sword?!”

Everyone’s imagination ran wild as they came up with all kinds of conjectures.

After all, they didn’t dare believe that the Netherworld Demon Sect, at its peak, had really been eradicated.

Even though this was what all of them had hoped for.

“Why don’t we go take a look together? Perhaps the Netherworld Demon Sect has really been destroyed by the Demon Child or some unknown expert. We might be able to finish off any remnants still alive if we lead the way!” said the Sovereign of the Sky Dao Sect.

What he said might not seem like much on the surface, but it contained a lot of information.

Even though he said it was to finish off the survivors, everyone knew that the meaning behind it was to divide the wealth of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

Although the other party was a fiend sect, there was no absolute distinction between orthodox and demonic, such as spirit stones, spirit herbs, medicinal pills, magic treasures, or even some cultivation techniques.

Everyone knew how massive the wealth of such a powerful sect possessed.

After the Heavenly Water Pavilion was destroyed, those from the Jade Pure Dao Sect had obtained the most benefits since they arrived first.

Humans die for wealth, while birds die for food. Although nothing was confirmed yet, everyone was instantly energized and agreed to the proposal.

They returned to gather their disciples and prepared to head to the Mo Prefecture together.

…

In the Eastern Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, Murong Xingqiao also saw the changes in the Hidden Dragon Rankings and was rather shocked.

“Those from the Netherworld Demon Sect have disappeared!” Murong Xingqiao’s heart suddenly began to race.

Thinking of the incident at the Heavenly Water Pavilion, a bold idea surfaced in her mind.

The Netherworld Demon Sect must have been annihilated!

If the Netherworld Demon Sect was really destroyed, it would surely be a joyous occasion for the Great Xia Dynasty.

The fiend sects had been rampant for years, wreaking havoc in their areas. The commoners had suffered terribly, but the imperial government could do nothing to deal with the problems.

Now, the Netherworld Demon Sect had even colluded with the Wolf King Clan to invade the territory of the Grand Xia Dynasty and murder its citizens.

It threatened the peace of the Great Xia Dynasty and drilled fear into everyone in the world.

Of course, personally speaking, the Netherworld Demon Sect was a primary threat to her.

Murong Xingqiao also knew that the Netherworld Demon Sect was in cahoots with her third brother, Murong Taisheng, and the Luo family.

It was precisely her third brother and the Luo Clan who helped the Netherworld Demon Sect grow more prosperous over the years by providing cover for benefits. Nowadays, the sect has become more and more daring.

The Wolf King’s clan’s invasion of Mo Prefecture should also be linked to her third brother.

He probably wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the Ye Family’s influence.

The Netherworld Demon Sect would have become a trump card for her third brother in the future.

Hence, if the Netherworld Demon Sect was really eliminated, then it would remove a huge concern in her heart.

However, when she thought of the power of Mo Lin and the Netherworld Demon Sect, Murong Xingqiao felt that it seemed unlikely.

In the entire Grand Xia Dynasty, no one could possess such strength.

Perfected Yu Hua could only at most tie with Mo Lin.

If anyone wanted to destroy the Netherworld Demon Sect, there was no telling whether they could win even with the combined strength of the Great Xia Dynasty’s orthodox sects.

Although she knew that it was unlikely, she still anticipated good news.

After all, something must have happened behind the sudden changes on the Hidden Dragon Rankings.

At this moment, Imperial Tutor Wu Cheng suddenly ran over and said after a bow, “Your Highness! I just received news that there was good news from the Mo Prefecture. Wolf King Tharman was killed by a mysterious expert, and the Wolf King Clan’s army was scared off by that expert!”

“What? Really?” Murong Xingqiao’s eyes widened in excitement. She was euphoric.

“It’s absolutely true. General Ye has already led the army to hunt down the Wolf King’s remnant troops and recover the lost grounds!”

“This is great! This is great! God bless my Great Xia Dynasty!” Murong Xingqiao was thoroughly thrilled.

This piece of news made her even more excited because the unexpected change in the Hidden Dragon Rankings might really be as she had expected.

Maybe this mysterious expert attacked the Netherworld Demon Sect as well?

If that was the case, this expert’s strength was too terrifying.

It was a feat to destroy the Netherworld Demon Sect! Even every known top-notch expert of the Great Xia Dynasty could not do it even if they joined forces.

“I didn’t expect that there was actually such a peerless expert hidden in our Great Xia Dynasty! I wonder who this person is?” Murong Xingqiao’s heart was filled with curiosity.

…

In the Prosperity Palace, the third prince, Murong Taisheng, had an ugly expression on his face as he watched the changes in the Hidden Dragon Rankings.

It was at this time that a figure suddenly appeared behind him. He bowed with cupped hands and said, “Your Highness, I have bad news. We just received news that Wolf King Tharman was killed by a mysterious expert. The Wolf King’s army fled in panic and was routed!”

“What? How could this be?” Murong Taisheng’s expression drastically changed as he felt his mind buzz.

Not long ago, he had found out that the Netherworld Demon Sect had failed to kill Ye Qiu and was instead killed by a mysterious person. He was left shocked and frustrated.

When he saw the unexpected change in the Heavenly Dao Rankings moments ago, everyone from the Netherworld Demon Sect had suddenly disappeared, and he had just begun to worry.

Right now, he heard the news that the Wolf King’s army had been driven off by a mysterious expert.

It was as if he was struck by lightning, and he felt panicky inside.

He did not want to link all these things together.

But wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?

Of course, his worst fear was the possibility that the Netherworld Demon Sect had been eradicated by the same mysterious expert.

If that was the case, everything he had painstakingly built over the years would be for naught.

For the sake of borrowing the strength of the Netherworld Demon Sect, he hadn’t hesitated to send wealth to the Netherworld Demon Sect for all these years and provided cover for them.

With the Wolf King’s clan gone, his chance to eradicate the Ye family’s power was gone.

Instead, it gave the Ye family a chance to gain military exploits and prestige.

If his backing, the Netherworld Demon Sect, was destroyed too, then his grand plan would be ruined.

“Damn! Why did this guy suddenly pop up? He ruined my plan… Mo Ying, do you have any clues about this unknown expert?”

“Not at the moment, Your Highness. But based on my investigation, it shouldn’t have been done by the top experts of the Great Xia Dynasty. For some reason, they have all gone to the Jade Pure Dao Sect.”

“Immediately send someone to the Netherworld Demon Sect to investigate the reason for the changes in the rankings!” Murong Taisheng ordered as he still held onto the last trace of hope.
