Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

"Defend!" Shi Tie roared, his eyes wide with fury, his arms bulging with muscles as he braced himself against the newly reinforced wooden gate!

Zhang Daniu stood like a human iron tower, growling as he braced his shoulder against the door! Wang Lie, meanwhile, drew his bow (a simple hunting bow), his eyes coldly fixed on the enemy charging at the front!

"Fire arrows! Throw stones!" Shen Mo calmly gave the order!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Wang's arrows never missed their mark; he accurately shot at the non-vital parts of the few thugs charging at the front, immediately causing a chorus of screams!

Su Xiao, A Yuan, and other female disciples also threw the prepared stones down from above with all their might!

Pfft! Ouch!

Caught off guard, the thugs at the front were hit by arrows and stones, and their attack slowed down! But Liu Mang, with several Qi Refining cultivators, was already closing in from behind!

"Break down the gate for me!" Liu Mang roared, a faint spiritual light emanating from his ghost-head saber as he slashed fiercely at the mountain gate!

"boom!"

Wood chips flew everywhere! The mountain gate trembled violently! Shi Tie and Zhang Daniu groaned, forced back half a step by the shock, their hands and feet numb!

"Block it!" Shi Tie's eyes were bloodshot as he exerted all his strength to hold on!

"Aim at the leader!" Shen Mo shouted to Wang Lie, while simultaneously making a hand seal to secretly activate the simple maze array set up near the mountain gate!

hum...

A faint fluctuation of spiritual energy spread out, and the enemies at the forefront suddenly felt the scenery before their eyes blur slightly, and their steps involuntarily staggered, as if they were stepping on cotton, and their sense of direction was instantly confused!

"What happened?"

"This is outrageous!"

This sudden and bizarre change threw the enemy into slight disarray!

"Playing tricks!" Liu Mang, whose cultivation was higher, was less affected. He cursed angrily and once again raised his sword to slash wildly!

"Shi Tie! Da Niu! Get out of the way!" Shen Mo shouted sharply when he saw that the time was right!

Although Shi Tie and Zhang Daniu were confused, they absolutely obeyed Shen Mo's orders and immediately rolled to the sides to avoid him!

The mountain gate is wide open!

"Haha! Brothers! Charge in!" Liu Mang was overjoyed and took the lead, ready to rush in!

At this critical moment—

Shen Mo moved like lightning, taking a step forward, not to meet Liu Mang, but to instantly appear next to the moss-covered, broken stone lion on the right side of the mountain gate!

He pressed his palm against the stone lion's back, frantically channeling the meager spiritual energy within him, roaring inwardly:

"System! Activate the Stone Lion Karma at maximum power! Editor: Ancestral Master manifests, exterminate evil and shun! Target: Deterrence!"

[Command received! Consume remaining 5 causal points to overload and activate the target "Guardian Stone Lion" causal imprint "Exorcising Sword Qi"! Warning! The carrier may be damaged!]

Om-! ! !

A booming sound, even deeper and more awe-inspiring than the last time Black Wind Chieftain Black Cloud Demon came to demand repayment, suddenly erupted! Like the roar of an ancient ferocious beast, it directly affected the depths of everyone's soul!

The lifeless stone lion suddenly emitted an even more dazzling and solid crimson light from its eyes than before!

A desolate, ancient, and inviolable terrifying sword intent, like a tangible shockwave, spread out from the stone lion as its center!

"Ah! My eyes!"

"What the hell is that?!"

"Help!"

Liu Mang and his men, who were at the forefront, were the first to be hit! They felt an indescribable sharp aura rushing towards them, piercing straight to their souls! It was as if countless sharp swords were about to tear them to pieces!

Liu Mang, in particular, whose cultivation method was more yin and evil, felt the pure yang sword intent of exorcising evil the most strongly. He screamed on the spot, and blood seeped from his seven orifices. The ghost head knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang". He was like being hit by a heavy hammer and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the mountain road!

The rabble behind him was even worse! They fled in terror, crying and screaming, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world!

That palpable killing intent and ancient majesty completely shattered their psychological defenses!

The red light in the stone lion's eyes lasted for about three breaths before quickly dimming. Several deep cracks appeared on the surface of the stone lion, as if it would shatter at any moment. But its mission was complete.

There was a deathly silence in front of the mountain gate.

The enemies who were just moments ago so arrogant and domineering are now lying sprawled out, groaning in agony.

Even those who weren't injured were terrified and scrambled backward, wishing their parents had two more legs!

Liu Mang struggled to his feet, his face covered in blood. He looked at the stone lion and Shen Mo, who stood calmly beside it, his eyes filled with extreme fear!

"A monster...a demon! There's a monster at Qingyun Sect!" he screamed hoarsely, no longer caring about face or treasures. He scrambled to his feet and ran wildly down the mountain without looking back!

"Run!"

"Sect Leader Shen, spare our lives! We'll never dare to do it again!"

The defeat was swift and devastating! The remaining enemies, wishing they had more legs, cried out and trampled each other as they fled down the mountain in a sorry state, leaving behind a mess and a few wounded and wailing comrades.

On the Qingyun Sect's side, everyone stared in disbelief at this scene, as if petrified.

Shi Tie stared wide-eyed at the now lifeless stone lion. Zhang Daniu scratched his head, looking completely bewildered. Su Xiao, A Yuan, and the other female disciples covered their mouths, their beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

After a long while, Shi Tie finally stammered, "Sect Leader... this... is it... over?"

Shen Mo slowly withdrew his hand, his face slightly pale (due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy), but his eyes remained calm. He glanced at the newly added cracks on the stone lion, a slight pang of pain in his heart, realizing it probably wouldn't withstand a next time.

But he smiled calmly.

"A rabble, utterly incapable of resistance. The methods left behind by our patriarch are beyond their comprehension."

His words were both an explanation to his disciples and a further reinforcement of the "myth".

"The Ancestral Master is mighty!" Shi Tie was the first to react, and he was so excited that he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to the stone lion!

"Our ancestor is mighty!" Zhang Daniu, Wang Lie, and the others also knelt down, their faces filled with fervent worship!

Su Xiao, A Yuan, and the others also bowed gracefully, their eyes glistening with tears—the excitement of surviving a calamity and their immense pride in the sect's heritage!

At this moment, all the disciples' sense of belonging and awe towards the sect reached its peak!

They truly believed that Qingyun Sect was indeed a sect with profound foundations and powerful backing!

Shen Moqiang suppressed his surging blood and ordered in a deep voice, "Clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded (referring to our own troops), and strengthen vigilance! This matter is not yet over."

The news of Qingyun Sect's defeat of "Mountain-Breaking Blade" Liu Mang spread like wildfire throughout Qingtai Market and the surrounding area.

However, as the news spreads, it inevitably gets embellished, making it seem increasingly fantastical.

"Have you heard? That stone lion at Qingyun Sect has become a spirit! With a glare of its eyes and a flash of red light, Liu Mang and his gang ran for their lives!"

"More than that! It's said that Sect Leader Shen activated the sword energy left behind by the patriarch with a mere wave of his hand, almost crippling Liu Mang!"

"Tsk tsk, it seems the Qingyun Sect really has some trump cards! I underestimated them before."

"That Enlightenment Cave might actually be real! Otherwise, how could that peasant girl have cultivated Qi so quickly?"

All sorts of rumors have made Qingyun Sect, a previously neglected and dilapidated sect, suddenly the talk of the town.

Consequently, some of the independent cultivators who had previously been hesitant about Qingyun Sect's "ancient elixirs" have become interested and occasionally inquire about them from Baibaoge.

Such a scene naturally brings joy to some and sorrow to others.

Manager Chen of Baibaoge was happy to see this happen, since the more famous Qingyun Sect became, the better the market would be for the "special products" he was cooperating with.

He even secretly considered whether to deepen his cooperation with Shen Mo.
