It was a man who had golden hair and pitch-black eyes. He looked like he was in his early 30s. His facial features were quite handsome. He also wore a python ring, but his python ring was golden. He was sitting there casually like he was the leader of the infiltrators.

That man with the golden python ring suddenly felt a terrifying killing intent, which abruptly disappeared before he could find the source of that intent. Xu Ming had controlled his killing intent right on time, even though he was extremely devastated as he saw the body of his master on the ground. ​​

The man stood up as he looked around to see if someone was looking at him, but other than his own men, he only found a few Mighty Demon Sect disciples looking at him.

"How long before everything is ready, Nian?" the man asked one of his men.

"Pretty soon, Young Master. Our men are searching everywhere in the sect. After the search is completed, we will be done here," the person called Nian replied. He was the second in command at this place after the guy with the crimson Python Ring.

"I'm getting bored here. Tell the others to finish it fast. Also, send a few people to check our surroundings. Make sure that no enemy is hiding nearby," the person said before he sat back on the Chair.

The Golden Eagle landed on the arena.

"You guys stay here. I will go and inform the elders," the leader of the small team Xu Ming was pretending to be a part of, told Xu Ming and the others before he walked towards the people that were standing near the person that was sitting on a chair.

Xu Ming glanced at the disciples that were captured to see if there was someone he knew, but he didn't find anyone he recognized.

'Mia isn't here either. Is she dead?' Xu Ming thought after not finding Mia amongst them.

"Can you see the strength of that guy?" Valeria asked as she pointed towards the guy that was sitting on a chair.

Xu Ming shook his head. He couldn't see their cultivation as the strength gap between them was too big for that to happen.

"Soon, we will be done here. Then we can go to another sect of this continent," one of the guys let out. "I want to slaughter more."

"The chances of that happening are too low. The sect probably selected a few top sects of this continent. Other teams should be taking care of those sects. Unless one of them fails, we probably won't have an opportunity. We will probably go back home."

"I wonder when we will get an opportunity to fight again," another person chimed in.

"It is so fun to kill. I don't care if I face strong opponents or weak! The feeling I get after I kill is so intoxicating. I can't wait to face people again."

The others started laughing at the comment.

Time kept passing slowly, and more and more masked men kept arriving at this arena.

Some of them brought people from the Inner Sect, and some even brought people from the outer sect.

Xu Ming saw them bring Sui Ru here as well. Her hands were tied behind her back. They threw her near the other Core disciples of the Mighty Demon Sect that were kept alive. She was the same girl who kept troubling Xu Ming, asking him to marry her.

Xu Ming had already forgotten about her and was just reminded when he saw her.

Xu Ming also saw some people bring Zi Zhenfeng and Wu Tian like prisoners.

There were around a thousand more masked men in the arena. There were hundreds of Inner and outer sect disciples that were in imprisonment at the moment while only 20-30 core disciples were alive.

"Hah, the Number of people that were kept alive is more than I expected," the man that was standing beside Xu Ming commented as he looked at the imprisoned disciples.

"Well, You know why they are kept alive. You should be happy that there are more," another person answered.

This was a female voice. Xu Ming glanced to his left. He hadn't expected that the person that's standing on his left was a girl. Her voice sounded sweet, unlike the cruel voices of the men. Xu Ming hadn't heard that person talk before, so he didn't know that she was a girl.

Her chest was also not giving anything away. She probably tied her chest using something or just wasn't that gifted.

"I know, but still. I was just surprised. I was expecting for no one but ten or twenty to be left alive, but when the number is in the hundreds, Of Course, it's shocking."

The blonde-haired man that was sitting on a chair sat up as he was informed that everyone was here. Their mission was completed.

"Alright, everyone. You did well. Time to go back!" The man let out loud as he brought out a talisman.

He placed the talisman on the ground before him.

A light started shining in the talisman, which kept expanding until it surrounded the whole arena.

It seemed like a formation that suddenly activated. Everyone disappeared from that place.

****

The Mighty Demon Sect arena that was filled with thousands of people was suddenly empty.

That could be said for the whole sect as well. In the entire Mighty Demon Sect, only dead bodies could be seen. No other person was left alive.

A formation was shining in the arena, which started shrinking.

Just as it was about to disappear, a blast occurred. Fire shot out towards the sky, which took the shape of a flying python.

That day, the whole continent saw this strange phenomenon in many locations.

That day, every top sect was destroyed. Only dead bodies were left behind. There was also one thing that was similar between the destroyed sect.

People saw a flame python in the sky, right above the sects that were destroyed.

The flame python stayed in the air for days, not letting anyone forget what had happened.

****

A person appeared in the arena of the Mighty Demon Sect out of thin air right after everyone had disappeared. The person looked towards the sky at the flame python.

It was the Blind Elder Wu whose eyes seemed like they could see everything.

He walked towards the Sect Master's dead body and sighed.

"I am sorry, my friend. But I can't interfere unless he is in danger of death. I could do nothing but watch while you died," Elder Wu muttered as he shook his head.
