The other one was called to the leader of the Ancient Absorption Pavilion, Na Ruhu.
The content of the phone call was simple and direct, yet it carried an unquestionable commanding tone.
"Feng Zhenghao, Na Ruhu, I don't care what methods you use, use all your intelligence networks, find out all of Quanxing's strongholds, and the names and locations of all its core members."
"In addition, issue an ultimatum to the entire world of supernatural beings, especially the Quanxing."
When Feng Zhenghao and Ru Hu on the other end of the phone heard Zhang Yunyuan's voice, which was cold and devoid of any emotion yet contained overwhelming killing intent, they both felt a chill in their hearts and dared not even breathe.
They knew that this living legend was truly enraged.
A bloody storm, enough to make the entire world of supernatural beings tremble, is about to arrive.
A blood-red ultimatum spread with the speed of a virus, instantly reaching every corner of the world of supernatural beings through the intelligence network of the World Society and the Ancient Devouring Pavilion, which covered the entire China.
The ultimatum contained only one sentence:
"You are to hand over Gong Qing within three days! Otherwise, I, Zhang Yunyuan, will kill him on sight, without mercy!"
These words caused a sensation throughout the world!
This name, which had been dormant for decades and existed only in the legends of the older generation, has reappeared in the sight of all the supernatural beings for the first time in such a domineering and bloody manner.
In an instant, the entire world of supernatural beings was in an uproar.
"Zhang Yunyuan? Which Zhang Yunyuan? Is he the legendary young master from Longhu Mountain?"
"Who else could it be but him! My God, why is this living ancestor suddenly so angry?"
"I heard... it was a member of the Quanxing sect who killed his senior brother, Tian Jinzhong, on Mount Longhu!"
"Holy crap! These Quanxing lunatics have lost their minds! They even dare to mess with people from the Celestial Master's Mansion?!"
"This is going to be interesting! This young master is a master who has lived since before the Jia Shen Rebellion. He is still young, and his strength is probably already at the level of a god!"
It's said he's become a demigod, immortal and ageless; who dares to try and calm him down when he's in a bad mood?
Countless discussions and speculations fermented wildly among the various sects and independent cultivation groups.
Everyone knew that this young advisor was serious.
A bloody, relentless hunt targeting the entire sect is now a foregone conclusion.
Zhang Yunyuan's ultimatum was never just empty words.
The very night the words were spoken, a bloody purge began.
Alone, he became a divine punishment walking among men, each step he took signifying the complete annihilation of a Quanxing nest.
It was 10 p.m. at an abandoned chemical plant on the outskirts of northern Jiangxi.
This is an important supply depot of the Quanxing Sect. Several trucks with fake license plates are parked in the yard, and dozens of demons are noisily unloading the supplies they just "acquired" from the trucks. The shouts, laughter and cursing are mixed with the smell of cheap tobacco, creating a smoky and chaotic atmosphere.
An indescribable stillness descended, and even the chirping of insects ceased.
The factory's massive, rusty iron gate, along with the brick walls on either side, inexplicably caved in and twisted, then exploded into a cloud of iron filings and dust, as if crushed by an invisible giant hand!
Under the moonlight, Zhang Yunyuan's figure quietly emerged from the swirling dust, standing silently at the doorway.
"Damn it! Who is it?!"
A bald, burly man reacted the fastest, throwing away the box, his hands already glowing with an eerie black light.
Zhang Yunyuan didn't even glance at him. He simply raised his hand indifferently, spread his fingers slightly, and pressed down on the entire factory area.
Instantly, the world lost its color!
The night sky over the entire area was instantly stripped of its color, turning into pure black and white!
Immediately afterwards, ten thousand violent golden lightning bolts tore through the void and crashed down like a dam bursting in the heavens, a boiling hell of lightning filled with destructive intent pouring down!
"The thunder magic of Longhu Mountain?! No—!"
The fierce look on the bald man's face was instantly replaced by boundless fear, and he screamed, his face contorted in agony.
But all resistance was in vain.
The sea of lightning crashed down, its light engulfing everything.
Factory buildings, trucks, goods, and those monstrous figures that had just been so menacing...
In the intense and powerful thunder, like an ice block thrown into a steel furnace, it instantly vaporized, ionized, and disintegrated! Not even a trace of remains was left!
A few breaths later, the thunder and lightning dissipated.
All that remained was a charred crater nearly a hundred meters in diameter, its walls made of glassy material formed from cooled lava, still radiating terrifying heat and blue smoke.
A hideout was thus completely wiped off the face of the earth.
Zhang Yunyuan's figure had long since disappeared, as if he had never appeared at all.
At one o'clock in the morning, deep in a hidden karst cave in the heart of western Hunan.
This place is a branch of the Quanxing sect that worships an evil god. The atmosphere is gloomy, and the cave walls are covered with strange runes.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With several muffled thuds, the heavy stone door at the deepest part of the cave, controlled by a mechanism, shattered as if it had been repeatedly struck by a battering ram!
Amidst flying rocks and billowing dust, Zhang Yunyuan stepped into the main cave, its lights flickering.
Inside the cave, some kind of evil ritual was taking place. A dozen core members were gathered around a distorted statue, and they all turned their heads in surprise at this sudden turn of events.
"It's Zhang Yunyuan! That killing god has come knocking!!"
A man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face screamed, his voice distorted with extreme fear!
All rituals and formations were instantly forgotten!
Those who reacted quickly have already made their move!
Poisoned throwing knives, yin needles that corrupt one's qi meridians, illusions that bewitch the mind, and the two soul-capturing red beams shooting from the eyes of that statue...
All sorts of insidious methods, like a chaotic dance of demons, came crashing down on him!
Zhang Yunyuan's eyes remained calm and composed. Faced with this siege that would make any expert take it seriously, he unleashed his Primordial Dao Qi with fierce determination.
"Om-!"
The air exploded with a deafening roar as if compressed to its extreme! A terrifying force, heavy as if the entire earth were being overturned, swept outwards in a fan-shaped area centered on him!
The dazzling evil magic and the eerie red light crumble at the slightest touch, melting away like snow under the sun!
Immediately following was the terrifying sound of flesh being destroyed by absolute power.
"Pfft! Snap! Pfft—!"
As if struck head-on by an invisible high-speed train, the demons in the front row instantly deformed and their bones shattered into dust!
The person in the middle row looked like he had been hit by a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, and his whole body exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
Those in the back row were pierced by the shattered bones and blood waves of their companions in front, flying backward and crashing heavily into the rune-covered cave wall, breaking their tendons and bones!
It's just a simple pushing motion!
The entire main hall of the cave has been transformed into a bloody slaughterhouse!
Severed limbs and shattered internal organs littered the ground, and thick, sticky blood flowed into streams that submerged ankles.
Zhang Yunyuan walked slowly through the pool of blood, with no living creature behind him, only the evil god statue staring in astonishment at this one-sided massacre.
Before dawn, in a bustling city in southern Guangdong, a private underground bar that stays open all night.
This is the intelligence exchange point of the Quanxing faction. The music is deafening, and the air is filled with smoke.
Several core members were gathered in a booth, exchanging the horrifying news of the annihilation of the first two strongholds. Everyone's face was deathly pale, and the liquid in their glasses sloshed around because of their trembling hands.
"boom!!!!!"
A deafening bang that ripped through eardrums drowned out all the music!
The heavy alloy door, reinforced with protective barriers, was rammed into from the outside as if by a monstrous beast in the most savage way—
The entire door, with its twisted frame, shot inward like a cannonball!
The heavy metal door smashed the two guards near the entrance, sending them flying. Its momentum didn't diminish as it slammed into the opposite wall!
Thick blood smeared the luxurious wall decorations.
The music stopped abruptly, and in the deathly silence, Zhang Yunyuan stepped in through the gaping hole, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire room.
"It's him! It's him! Move now! Otherwise, we'll all die!!"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses completely lost his composure, screaming as he flung out a barrage of poisonous needles, the fine whistling sound like a swarm of bees!
The alluring woman's face was contorted with rage. As she waved her hands, pink miasma of peach blossoms surged forth like a tide, sweet yet rotten!
Another person pulled out a bone blade engraved with incantations, lunged forward, and the vengeful spirits on the blade wailed!
Faced with this desperate counterattack, Zhang Yunyuan stretched out a fist, then slowly opened his palm.
"boom--!"
This isn't air; it's a tangible shockwave!
A turbid, violent aura, containing the most primal will to destroy, surged forward like a tsunami!
Crackling——!
The poison needles and miasma that were first encountered were smashed, dispersed, and completely annihilated by this pure power!
Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind swept away the figures that had rushed forward.
"Pfft-!"
The sound of bones shattering rang out like popping beans!
The moment the qi struck his body, the bespectacled man's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a heavy hammer!
The headless corpse was slammed against the wall and exploded into a pile of minced meat!
The glamorous woman was swept around the waist by the gale, her body twisted bizarrely, her lower half crushed, and her remaining upper body flew out with a horrified expression, smashing the wine cabinet.
The one wielding the bone blade suffered the worst; he was the first to be hit, his entire body completely engulfed by the qi from the front.
It was like being thrown into an invisible meat grinder, instantly turning into a thick cloud of bloody mist and fragments, splattering everywhere with a crackling sound!
As the gale swept through, the booths, bar, expensive drinks, and even the Quanxing members hiding behind them were all crushed and destroyed!
