...

  "DUCK!"

  The ceiling suddenly colpses, shrapnel flying everywhere, while fire burns outside of the sect.

  Dark clouds loom ahead as each disciple stands up fearfully.

  The ones who were unfortunate were crushed by the falling ceiling.

  Li Huan takes a step back, trembling unditionally. A cold sweat seeps down his pale face.

  "What's wrong... Sect Master, w-what's going on—"

  CRASH! BOOM!

  A fsh of red lightning desds, and a man dressed in dark red robes desds.

  His wild mane of red hair flings around, while his tongue slides over his sharp fangs glinting in the chaos.

  "Haha, old friend Gao Yong, or should I say sect leader of the Great Whirlwi?"

  He grins maliciously

  Sect leader Gao Yong's eyes narrow, his feet leaving the ground as he slowly hovers to the mysterious trespasser's height.

  "What is your business here, Zhan Qing, sect master of the Scarlet Blood sect. Why are you causing chaos in my sect?"

  "To pay a lifelo!" A red wave suddenly gets shot tao Yong, resulting in Gao Yong throwing up a wall of gree branches, effectively blog the wave.

  They engage in a terrific fight, with Gao Yong flying higher in order to avoid further destru of the sect, Zhan Qing follows.

  Li Huan kneels on one leg, eyeing demonic beasts and disciples from the demonic sect flooding into the sect grounds, his visioing blurry.

  Suddenly, he feels a cold hand on his back.

  It's Xun Shi.

  "There's no time for being afraid. e on, we're the leaders of this new geios help our fellow disciples."

  Ign rivalries, they stand up together and start and their fellow disciples currently in chaos.

  "Get into groups, each of you, we'll hahis orderly."

  Li Huan's eyes fsh as he takes note of Xun Shi's leadership abilities.

  He joins in—rounding the disciples up into groups.

  Disciples from the inner court arrive, along with sect elders.

  At the front is a heroic disciple wearing pure white robes, with long tidy hair and blue eyes. Following him is a cold beauty and a muscur brown-robed inner disciple.

  They ride swords as the arrive at the se.

  The heroic disciple waves his right hand at the new disciples, his robes billowing in the wind.

  "There's no time to expin, I am the top inner court disciple, Tian Baijie."

  The newer disciples eyes gleam at the sight of him, while some of the girls already start to fawn over him.

  Xuan Wu's eyebrow raises as he hears a system notification.

  "Ah, I see."

  He dashes towards the exit of the pagoda while the sect is still in disorder.

  While the newer disciples get into groups, the demonic beasts and disciples break through.

  "Give me your life!"

  A man simir to Tian Baijie, yet the opposite hteous, dashes up to Tian Baijie and engages in a battle.

  The top inner court disciples of the Scarlet Blood Sect start fighting the top inner court disciples of the Great Whirlwi, and the inner disciples and outer disciples that have arrived fight the other party.

  The demonic beasts get ganged on by a couple of Great Whirlwind Disciples.

  "Blood!".

  "Guts!".

  "Bones!".

  Some of the Scarlet Blood disciples carry red war-fgs, with souls of falle Whirlwi disciples getting sucked into them.

  "Damn it, damn it, I 't do anything".

  Xun Shi struggles, his breaths ing in fast and short.

  He gets a pat on the back from Li Huan.

  "We may not be cultivators yet, but we still help. We should be the role-models the other disciples want us to be, as we have the highest cultivation talent after all."

  Xun Shi's eyes widen, seeing Li Huan in a new light.

  He grins, "e ohe panig disciples.". Walking towards a group of pale-faced disciples, he turns to Li Huan

  "Me and you together.".

  Dong Shui stands at the front of his fearful friend-group, his bck gsses cracked, tilting off one side of his face.

  A rabid demonic beast, a dog, foaming at the mouth ers them.

  Feng Zhi, the big and tall disciple, is seated at the back of the group, with a stone spike peing his stomach. Two friends are giving him care, while the st cowers at the back, he hugs his knees as he cries silently.

  "I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home.".

  He cradles himself, log in a fetal position.

  Dong Shui stands, fag the rabid dog, holding a ro his trembli hand.

  "Y-you, if you step any closer, just know—I'm not afraid to fight!"

  Meanwhile, a knife pierces an reat Whirlwind disciples heart, leaving him to fall onto the dusty ground in a pool of blood.

  The Scarlet Blood disciple pauses—raising his eyebrow.

  "You... Aren't you one of those new disciples?"

  CRASH!

  Tian Baijie falls to the earthy ground, vomiting blood.

  He wipes his mouth with his hand, getting bato position for his Seven Heavens Saber teique.

  "Tao Wu, you dare! Fourth Heaven stance—Vengeful Wolf!"

  Tian Baijie lowers himself to the ground, standing like a wolf looking down at his prey, before dashing quickly towards Tao Wu.

  BAM!

  Meanwhile, in another er of the fallen pagoda, the two sect leaders battle it out.

  "Your tyranny ends here, Zhan Qing, let the i souls rest!"

  Zhan Qing, currently locked in a bundle of branches, groans as red veins pop up on his face.

  "NNNNNNNNNEVER!!!!"

  A wave of red light fshes through, breaking the branches.

  "Scarlet Demon Transformation! Purge this world of all good!"

  Zhan Qing suddenly transforms into a grotesque demon, standing at around 7 ft, with dark red skin, gouged out eyes, repced by demonic horns, with a muscur build.

  In a fsh of red light, he almost teleports to the Whirlwi Leader, knog the Sect Leader up into the sky, before pursuing him.

  The newer disciples successfully get into groups, the numbers dwindling into the 20s.

  Xun Shi takes deep, effective breaths as he ts.

  "Haah, majority of the disciples either died, betrayed us, or ran."

  He looks towards the exit of the pagoda, where he saw that one disciple he helped—Xuan Wu, run away.

  He spits on the barren ground.

  "Pussies."

  Li Huan ughs, trying to boost the groups morale.

  "It's alright, as long as we're alive, that's all that matters. Now, just let our senior brothers and sisters finish the job and we'll be oka—"

  CRASH

  The ice cold senior sister from before hits the ground, sending a wave of dust towards the new disciples.

  She looks up with pleading, tearful eyes, shaking her head as a red spike impales her. Li Huan and Xun Shi tremble as they watch the life fade from her eyes.

  She was just in this world a few moments ago...

  A Scarlet Blood disciple ughs as he desds.

  "Pitiful whore, she couldn't even take five hits from me!"

  He starts walking towards his body.

  "Don't."

  Xuan Wu starts shaking.

  Li Huan shudders as he takes a step back.

  "You... weren't you the one fighting elder brother Baiji?"

  He turns pale at the words he wao hear the least.

  "Him? Yeah, he's dead."

  His knees fail, falling to the ground.

  "It's over, it's all over.".

  The scarlet blood disciple licks his lips as he eyes the cold senior sister's body.

  "What a waste, she would've been a delightful treat."

  "YOU BASTARD!"

  Xun Shi dashes at the Scarlet Blood disciple, Fu Xia, not g of the power difference.

  "Oh? What a ceous oanding up for your fellow disciples, I end you."

  PSSHT

  SQUELCH

  In a matter of seds, Xun Shi explodes into blood mist, the wind pushing it all onto Li Huan.

  Li Huan, with wide eyes, slowly wipes the blood from his face.

  "You—"

  PSSHT

  a bundle of guts hits the floor as Li Huas eradicated from this world.

  BOOM

  Sect Master Gao Yong hits the ground. His eyes are lifeless, and he has several limbs missing. There is a hole going straight through him where his heart is supposed to be.

  "That's all?"
