The Strongest Sect of All Times

Jun Changxiao entered the tunnel into the venomous spider lair. 

The 30 or so rogue cultivators did not follow them inside, since they were afraid that the spider colony would rush out in waves — that was more frightening than a pack of Scarlet Flame Wolves!

Mhm.

There went another 1000 taels.

With Jun Changxiao’s character, you had to follow on his heels. If you lagged a little bit, it would automatically be considered giving up and you had to make another payment to scrap-pick. 

The region was again gourd shaped, with the narrow tunnel slowly widening.

There were a great number of weeds on both sides, with the occasional beast or human skeletons.

Howl!

A cold wind blew from inside, carrying a revolting fishy stench. 

Xiao Zuiji and Li Yuhua led the way at the front with their shields, the rest of the disciples maintaining the utmost vigilance. Some watched their feet, fearing small venomous spiders would suddenly appear.

Ling Yuanxue walked in the middle of the group, eyes filled with fear.

Women naturally dreaded spiders, cockroaches, and other little insect type things.

“Sect Head.”

Li Qingyang murmured, “There are spider webs in front.”

At the end of the tunnel were fully formed spider webs, looking like Five Element Eight Trigrams, blocking the road ahead.

Sha, sha, sha.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound.

Jun Changxiao and the others looked up, finding a green spider the size of a person crawling.

Holy shit!

That’s a huge ass spider!

Ding!

Tian Qi lifted his Cold Edge Sword, immediately nailing the crawling spider into the stone wall, disgusting green juice oozing out of the wound.

Ye Xingchen furrowed his brows. “The blood is poisonous, don’t touch it.”

Tian Qi hurriedly pulled his sword out, avoiding the fluid.

[Ding! Hunt and kill Small Venomous Spiders 1/500.]

Hearing the prompt, Jun Changxiao was startled.

He roared in his heart: It’s the size of a human; how the fuck is that Venomous Spider small??

If the small Venomous Spider was already so big, would the Large Poisonous Spider be the size of the Mountain-Carrying Bear from a while ago?

[Ding! Side mission triggered.]

Another mission?

Jun Changxiao opened the user panel and saw that it read: [Kill the Great Venomous Spider King 0/1 {Elite Mission}]

“……”

Fuck me, there’s actually a special Great Venomous Spider King!

No matter what, Jun Changxiao entered this place knowing that there would definitely be many savage beasts inside this tunnel.

However,

He did not rashly bring his disciples in to be overrun.

No one knew how many big and small spiders were inside. If they alarmed them all, the group would definitely meet an unlucky end.

They had to find a solution.

Even if things went awry, they had to be able to evacuate safely!

Jun Changxiao rubbed his temples. “Zhang Wei, you bring Shangguan and them behind, keeping the shields up for defense.”

“Yes.”

Zhang Wei led the nine mid-grade disciples, moving to the rear of the group to set up a line of defense.

“Yuanxue, you hide in the back.”

Since spiders were a bit too disgusting, Jun Changxiao worried that she would be afraid and it would affect her performance.

Lu Qianqian remained in the same place.

Because based on this woman’s icy appearance, let alone spiders, she wouldn’t even fear cockroaches.

Jun Changxiao then had some other disciples move to the back.

Hence, there were only the seven inner disciples and Long Ziyang, Li Yuhua, and Zhou Hong at the front.

Counting Jun Changxiao, it was 11 people.

Since the area was narrow, having more people was not necessarily advantageous, so arrangement was important.

“Let’s go.”

Jun Changxiao led the disciples up.

As they walked nearer, there were more spider webs. There were some skeletons hanging from above, seeming very appalling.

Sha, sha, sha.

There was that weird noise again as a green spider was weaving a spider web, dropping down from above, its eight eyes shining with dark light.

Xiu!

Xiao Zuiji hefted the Type 88, directly shooting it dead.

Although the spider was large, it was only First Stage, inferior to even an Earthly Flame Wolf.

There was no fear in 1 or 2, but they had strength in numbers.

[Ding! Hunt and kill Small Venomous Spiders 2/500.]

Jun Changxiao stopped and said, “Zuiji and Yuhua, you two tear through the spider webs and go inside. If a spider appears, immediately retreat.”

Letting the two meat shields explore the way, that was quite careful!

“Yes!”

Xiao Zuiji and Li Yuhua activated the defensive barriers of the Firm Iron Shield, cautiously moving forward.

Who knew, if the venomous spiders spat poison, the barriers could be life-saving.

Quickly, Xiao Zuiji stopped before the spider webs and took out a Cold Edge Sword, randomly swinging it around to destroy the spider webs.

Li Yuhua picked up a tree branch to do the same.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, continuing forward.

Jun Changxiao was serious as he said, “Get ready to fight!”

Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo and the others summoned out their swords, eyes twinkling with battle intent. 

“Tch.”

Ye Xingchen took a step forward, standing in front of them, eyes filled with disdain.

These small spiders were mere trifles. 

But if he performed well, he hoped that he would make a good impression on Sect Head Jun and obtain more resources.

Shua, shua!

Suddenly, Xiao Zuiji and Li Yuhua rushed out from the other end of the tunnel. They were sprinting back, expressions very telling. 

Clearly, they had discovered spiders!

Ye Xingchen had one hand on his sword hilt and proudly said, “Stay behind me and leave these losers to me.”

Arrogant, rampant!

Xiao Zuiji and Li Yuhua weren’t polite, rushing behind him to set up an absolute defensive barrier.

Sha, sha, sha.

A small spider rushed through the tunnel.

And then there was a second, a third, and a fourth. 

In just one moment, there were more than 70 small spiders. They rushed at extremely quick speeds, eyes sinister and ruthless. 

Ye Xingchen, who had been planning to show off, saw the wave of spiders and felt his mouth twitching. 

He wanted to retreat!

But since he had stepped onto this ship of his own initiative, he would have to go down with it in tears.

“Bastards.”

Ye Xingchen lowered himself slightly, right hand still gripping the sword as he coldly said, “Come if you do not fear death.”

If it was a martial cultivator, they might dread our Night Emperor’s terrifying persona. But small spiders did not fear him, thinking that he was provoking them instead and thus picked up their speed.

Clang!

As they rushed closer, the Cold Edge Sword came out of its sheath!

First Work: Quick Move was displayed, 30 sword glares flashing through the air and dancing in all three directions. 

Puchi!

Puchi!

The spiders from the front and the two sides were sliced, 30 instantly dying as poisonous green blood splashed down and the disgusting stench grew stronger.

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

A series of notifications echoed, as the number of Small Venomous Spiders killed increased from 2 to 32.

However,

After the sword killed 30, the remaining dozens of small spiders advanced uninterrupted.

Shua, shua!

Ye Xingchen again used the First Word: Quick Move, the dense and numerous sword auras slamming and instantly slicing down another 30.

But when he re-sheathed the sword, he stumbled backwards and paled.

Hisss!

At this time, more than 10 small spiders rushed forward and spat green poison!

Ye Xingchen’s expression changed.

Continuously using the First Word: Quick Move had consumed his physical strength, meaning that avoiding this attack would be difficult.

Shua!

Shua!

Xiao ZUiji and Li Yuhua rushed forward, using the activated barrier to defend against the poison. 

The two people asked at the same time: “Junior Brother (Senior Brother), are you alright?”

“Tch.”

Ye Xingchen coldly snorted, dragging his weakened body to retreat.

But thinking how some people had recklessly assisted him when he was in danger, there were slight ripples in his heart.
