Chapter 977: Bad News!
The so-called "clean-up" first involved the demoness and others burying their fallen sisters.
No matter what, these people fought to the death against external invaders, some dying in extreme humiliation, their clothes torn apart, having fallen to the beastly desires of those beasts from the Hundred Knowledge Hall.
With heavy and angry hearts, the demoness and others moved all these members to a place with excellent feng shui behind the island for a proper burial.
Secondly, since they were moving headquarters, this wasn't a matter of just a few words.
All the surviving beauties had their belongings, and on top of that, the Demon Moon Alliance's accumulated funds and assets over the years had to be moved at once—a significant undertaking.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng, while the demoness and the other women were preoccupied with these matters, stayed behind to deal with the bodies of those from the Hundred Knowledge Hall and Tianji Pavilion.
The method was simple: activating the "Devouring Sky Demon Technique" to convert all bodies into demonic qi for absorption, gaining an unprecedented boost.
After all, quite a few legendary level martial artists were there, not to mention a legendary peak and a human king; the density of demonic qi gained was unmatched!
...
Meanwhile, the battered Demon Moon Headquarters was in a frenzy.
At Qixia Mountain, at the Hundred Knowledge Hall headquarters, the atmosphere was strangely tense.
The main hall, usually buzzing with activity, was now empty, with none of the usual command-givers present.
Instead, a few people, led by the Supreme Elder and the Great Elder, were sitting there, having essentially taken over.
"Gu Yuansheng has been gone for so long; who knows how things are going on the Demon Moon side. If something goes wrong this time, he probably won't have the face to continue being the hall master!"
The Supreme Elder sat in his unique armchair, speaking leisurely.
"Hmph, he's really betting everything this time, taking two-thirds of the hall's personnel with him! To go to such lengths for a minor Demon Moon Alliance—is he sparing no effort to protect his position?"
The Great Elder said disdainfully.
"With two-thirds of the Hundred Knowledge Hall's forces, plus the War Killing Hall and two commanders, if they can't level a Demon Moon Alliance, it's a joke!"
The Supreme Elder also showed disdain: "Again, wiping out those little troublemakers isn't the goal. I want to see how many Blood Ganoderma he can retrieve! If he doesn't bring back the crucial items, it's all for nothing! Gu Yuansheng's fury won't matter; I'll still report to the Main Pavilion!"
Just then, a swift figure rushed in from outside.
This figure seemed somewhat distraught, sweating profusely: "Report! Supreme Elder, Great Elder, Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seven Elders, there's news from Nanzhe; the hall master, he..."
"What is it? Speak quickly!" The Supreme Elder immediately inquired upon hearing news of Gu Yuansheng!
"According to the latest intelligence, the hall master went to the Demon Moon Headquarters and... suffered a complete defeat!! Currently, there are no survivors; Lake Heart Island has become their burial ground..." the messenger reported, trembling.
"What the hell are you saying?!"
The Supreme Elder was shocked, slamming the table and standing up abruptly.
This was nothing like the expected outcome!
Gu Yuansheng personally led eight hundred elites to attack the Demon Moon Alliance and still failed? What kind of international joke is this?!
"Supreme Elder, it's true! It's said that after the hall master brought people to the Demon Moon Headquarters, it was initially a one-sided crush, killing half of the Demon Moon Alliance, with the remaining forced into desperation! However... just as he was threatening the demoness to hand over the Blood Ganoderma, an unexpected guest suddenly arrived!"
"That uninvited guest single-handedly turned the tide, slaughtering numerous elite members of the hall, and even two commanders and two elders fell at his hands! Ultimately, the hall master was strangled to death, his head taken..."
"Nonsense!!!"
The Supreme Elder still disbelieved, smacking the table again, shattering the Black Iron Wood table into pieces with a thunderous crash!
The Great Elder, Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seven Elders all stood up immediately, looking incredulously at the messenger.
"You mentioned 'an unexpected guest.' Who was this 'unexpected guest'?"
Even though infighting was fierce within the Hundred Knowledge Hall and these people had distanced themselves from Gu Yuansheng since he became the hall master,
Gu Yuansheng was still the hall master, after all, and this time he took so many people, what does a total wipeout mean?
Doesn't that mean the whole of the Hundred Knowledge Hall will suffer major losses?
"It was Jiang Feng from Binhai!"
The messenger said hoarsely: "That guy is even scarier than imagined! His strength is unfathomable; he single-handedly protected the Demon Moon Alliance and wiped out the remaining two hundred elites completely!"
"But that's not all; it's said... it's said..."
"Said what? Spit it out once, or I'll tear your tongue out!" the Supreme Elder raged.
"It's said! At the last moment, people from the Main Pavilion arrived as well, led by Elder Min Shanxing with over ten people! Yet they couldn't turn the tide against Jiang Feng; in fact—Jiang Feng even killed Elder Min and all who accompanied him! He truly is irreconcilable with the Hundred Knowledge Hall and Tianji Pavilion!" The messenger said, sweating profusely from his forehead.
"Elder Min... also went?"
On hearing this, the Supreme Elder's face of anger promptly turned to horror as he widened his eyes!
Min Shanxing's strength was something he knew well!
A Council Elder of the Main Pavilion, long advanced to the Human King level, could almost dominate one side.
Yet such a person was still defeated by Jiang Feng?
What kind of terrifying strength must Jiang Feng possess?
He was barely in his twenties; was there such a defiant monster in China?
"What are you saying? Elder Min and his party were all killed as well; are you kidding me?"
The Great Elder furiously questioned.
"Great Elder, I wouldn't dare to make jokes about something so serious even if I were ten times bolder!—It's absolutely true, Jiang Feng was on a killing spree, killing anyone he saw. Elder Min and his men indeed died at his hands, with not a single survivor..."
"Thud!"
The Supreme Elder plopped back into his chair, his wide eyes full of confusion and shock!
He couldn't stop muttering a single phrase: "How is it possible... how is it possible..."
