"Would it not be the smarter thing to instead make some precautions so that the demonic fiend who dared to kill my people, would face sure death." The old man quickly followed up when he had seen the reluctant expression of the young man.
"It would make no sense to simply die a foolish death. Yes, some of those disciples are going to die while we plan, but that shouldn't be our problem. Those Heavenly Body Sect leaders are the ones who should protect their own disciples, not us..." The old man said.
His reasoning finally won over as the young man took a deep breath to calm his nerves. With that out the way, they began preparing while still watching all of Saber's cruel actions.

"Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe..."
Saber said out loud. His prey who was quietly cultivating immediately became startled. Saber had a bright smile on his face while he continued with his massacre. Though he had long known from his little chibi assistant that he was being spied on...
Saber knew that no matter what, they stood no chance against him. No matter how much they planned, they had zero chance of winning. Their deaths were inevitable and it mattered not how much they prepared.
The figure in front of him who was previously meditating was at first stunned by the fact that someone dared to sneak into his house. But, before he could even finish processing his situation, Saber decided to end his life.
"Ahh, gaining Kill points is such a tiring thing." Saber said out loud while wiping the nonexistent sweat on his forehead. The only troublesome thing he had found, was keeping his middle-aged appearance.
He assumed that he'll have to return to his true form in a few weeks. But, by that time, he would have long caused this city to disappear. So, with that in mind, Saber disappeared from this house and entered the only current location where there were living cultivators.
Appearing inside what seemed to be a cafeteria, Saber's sudden appearance startled the people while the more acute ones were able to see the blood dripping from his long black demonic nails.
"Hello!" Saber said with a smile on his middle-aged face. His long black hair had a few strands of dark purple that danced through the air even when there wasn't any wind. His calm and kind smile along with his elegant bearing, made it seem to the people here that he was a scholar.
But, those who had picked up on the minute things such as the dark blood stained on his hands, immediately dashed toward the exit of the cafeteria without bothering to warn their fellow brothers and sisters.
For someone like the person in front of them to even be allowed to enter, that means the higher-ups weren't able to sense him. With such ability, they had no chance even if they are to work together with each other.
Seeing their actions, Saber scoffed as he shockingly appeared in front of the only exit of the cafeteria which was on the other side of the room. With all of these actions, the other people in the room were able to also pick up on the irregularity of the situation and took a defensive approach.
"Hmm, where are those righteous and ambitious humans?" Saber asked. He then continued..."I thought I would have got to meet an arrogant and ignorant human who I would have had an incredible time breaking."
The words caused shivers to run up the spines of everyone present. A sigh then left Saber's lips as he saw their clear cowardliness. Since there were obviously not going to be any events that he could consider unexpected, Saber decided that the group of humans in front of him were useless.
Swoosh!!
With the sound of something cutting through the wind. One can see the shocking and slightly disturbing sight of multiple tens of heads in the air detached from the necks of the headless bodies standing on the floors of the cafeteria.
Thud Thud Thud!...
As the heads fell to the ground, the expressions showed their shock as Saber's eyes only showcased disappointment. He didn't expect any sort of challenge, but at the very least, a little courage in the face of death should have happened.
'Aren't humans proud of the courage they have in the face of inevitable death?' Saber thought as he then disappeared and approached his next location.
It was time to meet the higher-ups of this subdivision of the heavenly body sect. It was time to kill the more talented of the lot in this branch while also making his location and actions known to their leaders.
A smile formed on his face when thinking of those arrogant heavenly body sect leaders. Their reactions to this slaughter he was currently producing were bound to be beautiful.

"Haha, to think that the old man dared to ask us for help when he prepared nothing in return." Said a man with long grey hair tied in a ponytail. He, similar to the leader of this city, also seemed to be suffering from old age as his face was also filled with wrinkles.
But, unlike the city lord, he was seemingly full of smiles.
Opposed to what one would think, even if the person who has made this virus that has caused mass death was a member of the demonic sect, they wouldn't try to defend the residents of this city.
Why?
It was simply that even though they rule over the continent, kings of kingdoms in this continent have some sort of say and can even decide if they want to listen to the orders of the heavenly body sect. Hence, even if the cities of this kingdom were attacked by demonic Sect cultivators, the Heavenly Body Sect didn't have any obligation to defend them.
Plus, if news goes out that only the people of the Heavenly Body Sect were left safe and unaffected, wouldn't even more peasants try to enter the Heavenly Body Sect!
'Once this person knows to not interfere with my Heavenly Body Sect, then I'll leave him to kill as many as he wants.' The grey-haired man thought. The people around him who were sitting on luxurious chairs as they ate what seemed to be dinner, also nodded their heads after hearing the grey-haired man's words.
But, as they were enjoying their meals, the doors for this expansive room were rudely slammed open as the seven figures who ate their dinner found that there was someone who dared to ruin dinner.
Running into the room with clear anxiousness and even disbelief written on his face, what seemed to be an Inner disciple quickly bowed his head while sweat dripped from his forehead. With cold sweat on his forehead, he said in a shaky tone.
"T...the formations has picked up on an intruder entering the Inner court!!"
He hurriedly said. His words caused many reactions and changes of expression on the faces of the seven figures who were previously enjoying their dinner. The grey-haired old man along with the other figures couldn't help feel anger coursing through their faces.
The grey-haired man then said with his face beaming in bright red, "Hell, even if he had played around with my outer sect I would still have left him alive once he didn't overdo it. Yet, he dares to step foot in my Inner section. A puny little brat dares to cause trouble in areas under my control!!!"
