Besides Senior Brother Pei, the other Crystal Palace Sect disciples also looked at that person confusedly, thinking that they had heard wrongly. It was impossible for that man, no matter how talented and fierce he is to deal with that terrifying den of horrors!
The reporting young man chuckled bitterly and shook his head. "[Reptilian] The Corpse Poison Sect's faction in the city is completely gone. Almost all the Corpse Poison Sect disciples were brutally massacred by that gray robed man."
The Crystal Palace group was shocked upon hearing this.
"[Reptilian] How is that possible?!"
Almost at the same time, both Pei Syriac and the Dark Lord felt their hearts skip a beat as they exclaimed. They exchanged glances through the void. There was a Malefic Demons Clan member standing in front of Yang Zahn as well, relaying the same message.
Realizing that they had lost their composure, both of them took a deep breath and forcefully calmed themselves down.
Pei Syriac gripped his fists tightly and narrowed his eyes, asking with gritted teeth, his raging temper seeped through his forcefully pushed out words.
"[Reptilian] What about Dorah Kai of the Corpse Poison Sect? He was supposedly unbeatable before the Grandmaster Realm with the countless poisons and hidden weapons on his body. Also, what about all of their traps? What about the dangerous Lethals? The hundred odd disciples of the Corpse Poison Sect?!"action
"[Reptilian] Ehrm…" The Crystal Palace Sect cultivator paused for a moment before sighing. "They're all gone, Senior Brother. Everyone is dead, with most of the bodies missing… supposedly vanished under all the destruction."
Listening to the report everyone was shocked. These few words revealed a hint of exasperation, shock, fear, and endless emotions.
The fearsome group of assassins, the Corpse Poison Sect, one of the top forces of the Underworld 'Evil' factions!
A faction that even Crystal Palace Sect wasn't willing to provoke personally was destroyed by that person alone.
Everyone present stood dumbfounded with agape mouths. The words of the young disciples reporting to both parties lingered in their minds and they couldn't snap out of it.

A bit of time later, a Crystal Palace Sect disciple could not help but ask warily.
"[Reptilian] Senior Brother Pei, are we still going to watch the show?"
Initially, they were accompanying Pei Syriac to watch how tragically that annoying pest, Aiden would die. However, now everyone gave up on that thought upon receiving the grave and shocking news.
Pei Syriac's gaze flickered and his expression was indeterminate. Pondering briefly, Pei Syriac's eyes shone with immense killing intent as he remarked darkly.
"[Reptilian] Go! All the more we have to go check things out because of this!"
At the same time, the fiend heir of Malefic Demon's Sect, Yang Zahn, made a similar decision on the other side. Both of them thought about the same thing.
The Corpse Poison Sect was one of the most powerful forces of the underworld after all and had more than a hundred disciples with peak level Martial Knight and even some Martial Master stage powerhouses among them.
Even if Aiden managed to exterminate the entire Corpse Poison Sect, it must have been an arduous battle. He had to be exhausted.
Even if he wasn't severely injured right now, he was most likely at his weakest and might even be riddled with poisons from head to toe. This was simply the best time to kill that man and remove such a nuisance once and for all!
Crystal Palace Sect and Malefic Demons Clan were highly powerful, ancient sects (and clan) respectively. Throughout history, they have always been on opposing ends and would never join forces in the open.
However, at that moment, Pei Syriac and Yang Zahn exchanged glances and had a tacit understanding.
"[Reptilian] Let's go!"
Pei Syriac ordered and sped forth with the Crystal Palace Sect disciples towards the Corpse Poison Sect at the city's western side.
…
At the same time, back at the southern and western intersection of the city.
Speeding with the large group of cultivators, Tai Liu and Aiden's group of Captains leading the large forces, they have arrived in the vicinity of the Corpse Poison Sect before long.
There was a large crowd of bystanders before them, packed densely and watching keenly.
It was unknown what these people saw but their eyes were filled with shock. When Tai Liu's group arrived, a passage was immediately squeezed out for them.
Confused about what was going on, Tai Liu couldn't help but mutter softly.
"[Reptilian] What is going on? What is all this commotion? What happened? How's everything inside?" He fired question after question, not expecting an answer at all.
However, at this time, a feminine figure donned in gray robe, matching that of his master, Aiden's appeared through the crowd and greeted the other party with a smile.
"[Reptilian] Young Master Tai Liu, you guys were a tad bit too late to arrive. All the excitement has already passed and you have missed everything! Hehe! Tragic! It's truly tragic!"
When she heard that, Tai Liu's eyes dimmed as she mumbled to herself as if she had lost her soul. Thinking that he was really too late to save that young man, she slumped her shoulders with a dispirited, aggrieved look on her face.
"[Reptilian] We were still too late? It's my fault. I should have guessed it. I could have stopped you…"
Tai Liu was flustered and did not notice the robed mature woman's expression and tone, thus completely missing the mark.
Looking at her reaction, the woman, Vyndridolth was stunned. Did she not understand what she had just said? At the same time the more he looked at their large group that looked more like an army than a band of worried friends, he couldn't help but ask.
"[Reptilian] I apologize if I am too brunt or forward, but… why did you guys bring so many people along to watch the show? Anyone who didn't know better might think that you guys are out for a fight!"
"[Reptilian] W-wait.. Young Master… is fine?" The front captain, Dragha seemed to have finally realized the mistake he have done and focused his attention on their mental connection. Only now did he realize that not only wasn't the signals weakening but instead have grown stronger over time! Their young master, not only did not suffer any injury but even got stronger as a result!
"[Reptilian] Of course. He is alive and fine." Vyndridolth replied with a warm smile.
"[Reptilian] Huh?" Bouncing up from his misery, Tai Liu blinked a couple of times in shock and asked without wiping the tears from her eyes.
"[Reptilian] But h-how? You just said that the sight was tragic. Truly tragic…"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"[Reptilian] Oh, I meant that for the Corpse Poison Sect, not for the Young Master." Vyndridolth smiled, waving her hand dismissively.
Everyone was dumbfounded and froze on the spot, unable to take the facts in for a moment.
Right then, a Corpse Poison Sect disciple stained with blood ran in their directions, staggering with a frightful, horrified face. He looked utterly devastated, and his soul was shaken, he was frantically trying to escape from something… or someone.
However, he couldn't get too far when a cold light flashed behind him.
An ebony clawed hand pierced his back with a swoosh, protruding out from his chest with blood everywhere!
The person's eyes dimmed and took a couple more steps forward before collapsing to his death. As his corpse collapsed on the ground, they instinctively looked at the shadowy figure gradually appearing behind it.
Amidst the small cloud of dust and vapor, a gray-robed figure strode over with a calm expression and a bright gaze. In fact, there weren't even any traces of blood on him as he flicked his clawed hand with a disturbingly calm expression.
At the same time, the Crystal Palace Sect and Malefic Demons Clan groups arrived to witness that gory scene.
Arriving at the commotion, Pei Syriac and Yang Zahn came just in time to witness the Corpse Poison Sect in a wretched state with corpses strewn all over the floor.
Warm blood flowed everywhere – it was a living hell before them!
The reports were really true! The Corpse Poison Sect was truly destroyed!
"[Reptilian] Impossible!"
"[Reptilian] How could this be?"
The same doubt flashed through both of their minds. In that bloody battle on the long street, the strength that Aidenn had displayed was far from enough to destroy the fearsome Corpse Poison Sect.
How did he do it then?
Could that man have broken through once more and increased his strength significantly in the last couple of days? Or possibly… Did he perhaps hide his real power all this time?
If so, was this to the true limit, the true capabilities of this gray robed lone figure?
Or maybe.. Just maybe, there were more hiding in that thin, lithe frame of his?
