God Destroying Pearl

Song Yun crossed many mountains and after several days of trekking, he finally arrived at the Diling Gate.

He stood in front of the ancient and solemn gate of the Diling Sect, took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then stepped forward to show the sect token.

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper disciple immediately saluted respectfully and led him to meet the leader of the Diling Sect.

The leader of the Diling Sect is an old man in his fifties, with a kind yet dignified face.

When he saw Song Yun coming, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He quickly stood up to greet him and personally made a cup of hot tea for Song Yun.

As the aroma of tea wafted in the air, the head of the sect slowly spoke and told Song Yun in detail about the serious situation of bandit chaos within his jurisdiction.

"Friend Song Yun, your coming here is a great honor for our Diling Sect. I don't know when this group of bandits started to run rampant in the villages under my jurisdiction, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. The villagers are suffering and living in dire straits. Although we are willing to get rid of them, there are many masters among the bandits, especially the bandit leader who is in the foundation-building stage, who is even more difficult to match."

When the headmaster said this, his tone was filled with indignation and helplessness.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if recalling those unbearable past events: "The most recent attack took place in Liujia Village not far from here. That night, the bandits took advantage of the moonlight, quietly sneaked into the village, and burned the entire village to the ground. Countless villagers were killed and injured, and the survivors were also displaced and homeless."

Song Yun listened to the headmaster's narration, his heart was burning with anger. He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.

Song Yun couldn't imagine that such cruel and inhumane things could happen in this peaceful world.

Song Yun stood up, his eyes firm: "Master, rest assured, I, Song Yun, will do my best to seek justice for the suffering people and eradicate these evils!"

After saying this, Song Yun, despite being exhausted from days of running around, immediately asked to go to the destroyed village to check it out.

Under the guidance of the headmaster, he traveled quickly and soon arrived at the ruins of Liujia Village.

The scene before him was a hundred times more miserable than he had imagined: broken walls, scorched earth everywhere, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning and a faint smell of blood.

Song Yun's heart was deeply hurt at this moment.

He walked silently among the ruins, and every step seemed particularly heavy.

Song Yun carefully observed every trace, trying to find clues left by the bandits.

As the investigation deepened, Song Yun became more and more determined to get rid of this group of bandits.

Song Yun knew that this was not only to complete the task assigned by the sect, but also for the innocent people who were harmed and for justice and peace in this world.

In the next few days, Song Yun traveled almost non-stop between the villages under the jurisdiction of the Diling Sect, investigating the bandits' traces in depth.

With his keen intuition and extraordinary wisdom, he gradually pieced together the patterns and clues of the bandit activities.

Whenever night falls, he transforms into a ghost in the dark night, silently shuttling between dense forests and valleys, looking for any clues of the rioters.

Finally, on a stormy night, Song Yun, relying on his familiarity with the terrain and accurate judgment of the bandits' movements, successfully locked down their hiding place - a small valley hidden between the mountains.

This small valley is in a dangerous position, with steep cliffs standing all around, and only a narrow valley entrance connecting it to the outside world.

At the entrance of the valley, the bandits cleverly set up numerous obstacles, including sharp wooden spike traps and rolling boulder mechanisms, apparently to prevent outsiders from easily breaking in.

Standing in a dense forest not far from the valley entrance, Song Yun observed all this quietly.

He knew very well that in order to destroy the bandits' lair in one fell swoop, he had to overcome these obstacles first.

However, Song Yun knew very well that passion and courage alone were far from enough.

Before deciding to take action, he must ensure that he has a full understanding and assessment of the enemy.

Therefore, after confirming the bandits' hiding place, he did not rush for success, but turned his attention to a more critical issue - confirming whether there were really Foundation Establishment cultivators among this group of bandits.

As night fell, dark clouds gathered, blocking the light of the stars and providing a natural cover for Song Yun's exploration operations.

Song Yun was wearing a tight nightgown and was moving lightly like a ghost through the dense forest. Every step he took was on the most imperceptible fallen leaves and dead branches, trying not to make any sound.

After many days of observation and exploration, Song Yun has gained a certain understanding of the bandits' activity patterns.

They did not seem to be afraid of the darkness of the night, but instead used this time to carry out more frequent looting activities.

Song Yun's target is those bandits who are suspected to have the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They often hide in the core of the bandit group, and their actions are more secretive and elusive.

This time, Song Yun chose a mountain pass where bandits frequently appeared as an observation point.

Song Yun used the dense branches of a towering tree as cover and climbed up to the treetop silently, hiding his body among the dense branches and leaves, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed, quietly watching the movements below.

Soon, a noisy sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night, and a group of bandits walked out of the distant mountains and forests and headed towards the mountain pass.

They held torches, which illuminated the way ahead and also revealed their whereabouts.

Song Yun held his breath, his eyes sharp as torches, and carefully searched the crowd for the figure of a bandit who was suspected to be in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Just then, a tall figure with steady steps caught Song Yun's attention.

As this man walked, he seemed to be significantly different from the bandits around him. His aura was more steady, and his steps revealed an indescribable majesty.

What surprised Song Yun even more was that when his eyes accidentally met Song Yun's, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through everything hidden.

At this moment, Song Yun could almost conclude that this person was most likely the Foundation Establishment Stage bandit they were looking for.

Song Yun quickly adjusted his breathing, stayed calm, and continued to observe the other party's every move.

The Foundation Establishment Stage bandit seemed to be at ease in the team, issuing orders from time to time and directing the actions of other bandits.

Every movement and every look of the Foundation Establishment Stage bandit revealed an otherworldly temperament that was out of tune with the surrounding bandits.

After confirming that it was correct, Song Yun secretly memorized the characteristics of this person in his mind, and immediately reported this important information to the sect through a special communication symbol.

Song Yun knew that what was about to happen next was beyond his ability and that the sect would need to send stronger disciples to handle it.

And he quietly retreated to a safe place, waiting for further instructions from the sect.
