Chapter 376: Heavenly Mechanism Sect?(1)

herself as a member of the demonic cult to me; instead, she was an opera singer,” Xianyao said."I am Black Snow and I have never lied to you. I just concealed my identity within the demonic cult. Othe...Chapter 376: Heavenly Mechanism Sect Part 1

"Alright, consider this a slight from our side. Can you tell me what happened to the two people who went in earlier"

At this moment, the priority for a mid-stage emperor was to confirm the status of the two peak emperors inside. If they were fine, then these matters would be left to them to decide.

This was a troublesome decision either way, which could lead to many complications. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t take this responsibility upon himself.

"If there are no unexpected developments, the people inside should have died," Xianyao replied in his usual indifferent tone, making it hard for others to judge whether he was telling the truth or not.

"How is that possible They were all peak emperors. How could they die" The mid-stage emperor strongly doubted this, as it went against his understanding of reality.

Two peak emperor martial artists dying without any noise would be hard to accept. Anybody else would find it difficult too, unless someone at the saint realm level had secretly attacked them. But there didn't seem to be signs of such an attack; it seemed like they only encountered traps.

Judging from Xianyao's earlier mechanisms, similar trap mechanisms should also exist inside, with no ambush set by anyone—something everyone could deduce.

But if these were just ordinary trap mechanisms, what kind of mechanism would be strong enough to kill two peak emperors Could this kid be from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect

Only the old fossils from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could create such deadly mechanisms, even posing a threat to saints.

In legend, the greatest achievement of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was using mechanical techniques to hunt down a god realm martial artist. The person behind this legendary act was also a legendary figure in their own right.

Using mechanical techniques alone would be close to the peak of such skills; usually, these were used to compensate for strength deficiencies and enhance combat power, making it easier to kill opponents several levels above them.

This is why even though they couldn't use pure mechanical techniques to hunt down god realm martial artists or saints anymore, their mechanical techniques still instilled fear in people. Nobody dared provoke members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, known as one of the most troublesome sects around.

Was he from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect

Clearly not; if he were, he wouldn't be a servant to others. That girl couldn’t be from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect either, because they wouldn’t cultivate such young saints—this wasn't their primary focus.

Even stepping back further, someone capable of manufacturing traps that could kill two peak emperors would also not be as young as Xianyao. Such mechanical techniques were terrifying; those who mastered them had already established themselves and were big figures.

This situation didn’t match the kid's circumstances at all!

The only conclusion now was that this kid was lying, trying to deceive them to buy time for his master to emerge. Once that happened, everything would be over.

"You're deceiving me" The mid-stage emperor試探性地問道。

"Why don't you go inside and find out," Xianyao waved his hand without directly answering, tempting the other party to enter.

Entering was a death sentence!

Xianyao knew someone would suspect that Solitary Star was hiding behind the waterfall. He had set up complex mechanisms there to ensure anyone entering would die, even peak emperors wouldn't survive.

Although some mechanisms were already expended, he believed what remained could still deal with a couple of enemies; at least one person was guaranteed to meet their demise without any issues.

The mid-stage emperor clearly understood Xianyao's intentions after seeing his reaction. Entering now would be an unwise choice; while it might be a bluff, he felt more that it was a trap meant for him to die.

From the counterattack Xianyao gave earlier, there were mechanisms and traps everywhere inside—it made sense.

Who could have thought their target would be this kid They had initially planned to deal with the girl but ended up falling victim to this boy’s tricks.

The most frustrating part was that this kid was merely a lieutenant rank, using such tactics against them. This pride was hard to swallow!

"Attack! Kill this kid and we’ll retreat!"

Finally, the mid-stage emperor made an astonishing decision: he wanted revenge by killing Xianyao; otherwise, his heart wouldn’t feel at ease.

He was sensible enough to think that after eliminating Xianyao, they would withdraw without seeking further vengeance. He believed that normally, she wouldn't seek retribution for a servant.

Moreover, even if revenge were sought, it would be difficult to identify who to hold accountable since everyone here had no identifying markers to track them down later.

In his view, with so many people attacking simultaneously, even if the mechanisms killed all of them, there would still be opportunities to deal with Xianyao.

Indeed, these subordinates were merely a distraction now. He didn't care whether they lived or died as long as they could draw enemy fire for him.

He did not expect that Xianyao was well-prepared, extremely well-prepared. Not only could he deal with one person, but also a group of people.

The moment those people rushed in, numerous stones and wooden spikes appeared suddenly to form an enormous web that covered everyone.

If this "web" were merely a simple attack method, these people might not have had any issues. They were all experts in their field too. However, the problem was that there were some killing moves hidden within this "web," using special mechanisms to increase its power and make the attacks extremely powerful. Some even carried poisons; just a slight scratch would be fatal.

These poisons weren't instant death poisons, but they could render these experts incapable of certain abilities, such as defense, which meant they couldn’t withstand those mechanisms' attacks.

In this way,慘叫聲連連，很快所有人都被這“網”給吞噬了，倒了下去...

"You... I'll kill you!!"

"Come and try."

The only mid-stage Emperor remained in the arena. Seeing this outcome, his eyes almost fell out of their sockets; he had not even begun, yet it was already over. This kid must be one of the new generation experts of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but who knew which old monster taught him these tricks

And what's more terrifying is that these mechanisms and traps seemed to have been made on-site from available materials; they weren't specially manufactured ones. If they were specially manufactured, even a Saint would be killed.

The mid-stage Emperor looked at Xianyao. He had just shouted to kill Xianyao, but the current situation made him somewhat fearful as he didn't know if approaching Xianyao might trigger new traps.

And with Xianyao's indifferent expression now, he was sure there were still mechanisms ahead; he wouldn’t know what he would face going forward.

This situation is truly frustrating. If only he had known this kid was an expert of Heavenly Mechanism Sect earlier, he definitely wouldn't have acted here. This kid has been here for so long, giving him ample time to prepare everything.

When facing off against a mechanism master like this, do not give them any time to prepare; otherwise, killing an Emperor would be as easy as pie!

However, if he didn't act now and waited until that girl broke through, it would be too late. At least without the opportunity, there's no need for his life, because almost everyone has been wiped out.

In this situation, even if he reported back, people might doubt him, suspecting him of lying since nobody could believe this kid was capable of such devastating power.

"Just wait!!"

Finally, the mid-stage Emperor gritted his teeth and chose to retreat.

What's the point of staying and waiting for death

"Don't leave... Keep waiting..." Xianyao didn't expect the mid-stage Emperor would do this; he actually backed off. If he did so, then there was truly nothing more that Xianyao could do.

Xianyao had ways to kill this mid-stage Emperor, but it required activating these mechanisms here. Once outside their range, not only could Xianyao no longer harm the mid-stage Emperor, but he might even face danger.

His strength alone was very dangerous when facing a mid-stage Emperor; although he wanted to catch this mid-stage Emperor now, there was nothing else he could do.

To know when to advance or retreat—this man was also someone. To survive…

Just as Xianyao praised him for it, something suddenly changed on the scene; he knew that this mid-stage Emperor couldn’t escape anymore.

Because, Guxing had broken through and smoothly advanced to Saint rank; that intense aura just instantly retreated…

This made the mid-stage Emperor's heart cold. If this girl emerged, could he still run away

Clearly, it was impossible. For a Saint pursuing a mid-stage Emperor, it would be as simple as anything—there’s a huge gap in their strength.

Even if Guxing hadn't broken through to the Saint rank, merely being an Imperial peak would already be enough for this mid-stage Emperor not to escape beyond ten miles; now, he probably wouldn’t even need one mile.

What should I do Continue in vain struggle or stay and negotiate…

The mid-stage Emperor considered it. He decided to stay since either way, they were dead. Staying and negotiating might offer a greater chance; surely, they would want to know who wanted to deal with them.

Although this was betrayal, at least it’s better than not having any life left. Besides, he was hired by someone else, not their loyal follower, so there's no need to die for it.

And precisely because of his decision to stay, he saw something that made him hard to believe: all along, he thought Guxing should be behind the little waterfall, but in fact, she wasn’t.

Guxing was not behind the small waterfall; instead, she was very close to them…o observe nearby undetected. In other words—this matter must have something fishy about it!!"How could we not be discovered They knew of our existence from the start, but they just ignored us," said t...
