Ch-30! Death of demonic Elder!

[ Please note, Data are taken from my previous work]

Dururururm!

As the darkened sky crackled with a brilliant bolt of lightning, that descended upon the trembling figure of Mang Lao.

The raw power of the heavens seared through his demon-infested body, wracking him with unimaginable pain, especially considering the fact that, this round of lightning strikes were stronger than the previous.

With each strike, the lightning purged the corruption that had consumed his soul, stripping away the darkness that had taken root within him.

" Arghhhhhh! "  Mang Lao's arrogant laughter was replaced by agonized screams as the lightning continued to strike him relentlessly.

His body convulsed, his powers diminishing with each passing moment. The heavens, in their divine judgment, showed no mercy, especially to Destroyer, The death, The Inevitable.

Witnessing this divine intervention, Ji Mai could hardly believe her eyes, not just her, but everyone was equally aghast. 

...

As the lightning continued its assault, Mang Lao's screams grew weaker, his body weakening under the unrelenting punishment of Heaven. 

And then, in one final strike, the lightning surged through him, obliterating the remnants of his life and reducing him to ashes.

Mang Lao was Crumbled into Dust.

....

Silence filled the air as the destructive "Judgement" dissipated.

The threat that had loomed over the sect was finally extinguished.

Ji Mai stood in awe, her heart filled with gratitude for the divine intervention that had saved them meanwhile, she found it hard to believe it was caused by Holy Envoy.

But, she couldn't also doubt him, he was very confident when he muttered " Mang Lao is dead, make sure to uphold your words " as if, he knew, Divine Judgement would occur once again.

...

Turning away from the ashes of her fallen Grand Elder of the Sect, Ji Mai made her way back to confront her father who had suffered some serious injury during battle with Mang Lao.

" Swish! " As Ji Mai retreated from the aftermath, Li Bai glanced at her with a calculating gaze as if, he was planning something sinister.

"So, this woman wants answers," Li Bai mused, his voice was low, resonant undertone that cut through the lingering echoes of disciples, who were expressing their emotions of shock and sorrow.

After all, Grand Elder - Lang Mao has bid farewell from life.

.....

"Curiosity can be both a virtue and a perilous pursuit, " Li Bai remembers hearing it somewhere in his previous life.

" Do you think those members of the fallen sect will attack now? " Li Bai uttered with a simple and straight-forward Tone.

Koi, who was beside him shook her head in disagreement, " No, based on my calculation, they should probably be retreating now, sensing the powerful presence of Lang Mao and Sect Master. They would probably be thinking twice before attacking. "

She further added " However, it's my speculation and I may be wrong " This way, she could play her role and not act like she was smarter than her young master.

" hmm " Li Bai hummed, her speculation wasn't wrong, but, there are so many things lacking here.

For instance, what if they have a spy here? Right now, the strength of the sect has diminished, Two of the strongest members, Mang Lao and the sect master.

Mang Lao is dead and Sect Master is greatly injured.

The spy would have also realised that I ( Li Bai ) wouldn't make a move so, there is a high chance that they might attack today.

" I guess it's the difference between someone raised to protect others and someone raised to kill others," Li Bai thought. He had already realised that the other two elders were also scheming.

Li Bai highly believed that except for the Garlic Elder, the other Two Elders had betrayed the Sect.

~~~~~

At the same time, ( at the secret headquarter of The fallen sect - MenHi Sect )

Six people were sitting in a dark room, while they were looking at each other.

In the clandestine headquarters of the Fallen Sect, a dimly lit room concealed the faces of six conspirators, their eyes glinting with a sinister resolve as if their grand plan, which they have been planning for decades is finally happening.

Zhao Lin, the cunning strategist and mastermind who was donned in white Taoist clothes, leaned forward, his eyes narrowing with anticipation. "The time has come to execute our grand plan, Based on Spy's information, Mang Lao's demise and Sect Master's injury has left the Supreme Grand Sect vulnerable, and tonight, we shall strike when they least expect it."

Xiao Wei, the shadowy assassin, traced the edge of a concealed dagger with her fingertips and spoke while her tongue rubbed against her lips "Our spies have confirmed the weakened state of the Sect! That's great news, I can't wait to slit their throats and play with their blood. "

Fft!

Zhang Hu, the charismatic infiltrator, chuckled softly. " Have a little patient, I heard the daughter of the sect master is a peerless beauty, I will be taking her, I don't care about others "

As the discussion continued, Ling Yao, the enigmatic ArrayMaster, tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. "The heavens have granted us a fortuitous moment. I can finally avenge my dead wife and daughter, I will personally kill the sect master with my hands " his voice was filled with anger and deep killing intent. After all, something can't be said publically, Sect Master also Raped his wife before killing her, he still remembers begging for their life and watching his wife gets violated right in front of him.

But, the roles have been reversed this time, " Junior brother Zhang Hu, I have a small request, I hope you can Violate her right in front of Sect Master "

" Hehe! That's a very good request, I will obviously fulfill your request Senior Brother Ling Yao " Zhang Hu replied.

...

Mei Lin, the silent tactician, observed the room with keen insight before finally speaking his mind, "However, we must not underestimate the Holy Envoy of their sect, and he may have already foreseen our intentions. We must be cautious and decisive in our actions."

Hearing this, Jin Tao, the ruthless warrior, brandished his weapon with a menacing gleam and spoke with a menacing laugh " Hahahaha! I don't care for being cautious, What can a single person do? Don't forget the opportunity we received, we are all in the Soul-Wandering realm, just today four of us stepped into this realm, if a holy envoy dares to take action then he will meet his end through my heavy Sword"

...

...

The room fell into a momentary silence as the gravity of their collective decision hung in the air.

Zhao Lin, with a sly grin, announce their collective opinion in a single sentence " Then, We will attack tonight, Two Grand Elders of the Supreme Grand sect have decided to support us and  our spy is already there, TONIGHT, we shall regain our Fallen Glory and avenge our lost ones "

Umm! Hearing this others nodded.
