My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 864 - 865: Deception and Intrigue

As time passed, the Heavenly Extermination Sect gradually began to falter!

Their success relied on an ambush, catching their opponents off guard!

In terms of strength, the Heavenly Corpse Sect was undeniably superior.

In less than half an hour, more than thirty cultivators from the Heavenly Extermination Sect had already fallen in battle, including several elders at the Transformation Realm.

"Sect Master, if we continue like this, we won’t be able to hold on!" the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Extermination Sect said anxiously.

"That’s right, you must come up with a plan..."

"If you want to catch the thief, first capture the king. I will kill the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse myself!" the Lord of Heavenly Extermination Sect said coldly, his eyes glinting with resolve. He knew that the longer this battle dragged on, the greater the risk for their sect!

A quick victory was their only option!

The Sect Master unsheathed his sword and charged toward the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse!

Bang!

The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse was caught off guard, blood spurting from his mouth as he staggered backward!

"Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse, today will be the day you die!" Holding his sword, the Sect Master exuded an overwhelming aura of murderous intent.

"Heavenly Extermination scoundrel, did you truly think I am so easy to deal with?" The Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse roared in fury, forming hand seals with both hands as he bellowed, "Blood Demon Corpse Puppet!"

Roar!

A terrifying roar echoed as a crimson light burst forth!

It was a towering Blood Demon Corpse Puppet, with a cascade of crimson hair and an overwhelming presence, clearly at the peak of the Transformation Realm!

"Hiss, that’s the Old Demon’s life-bound corpse puppet!"

"That’s a peak Transformation Realm corpse puppet, impervious to blades, fire, and water!" many cultivators exclaimed with wariness.

"Kill!" The Old Demon commanded the Blood Demon Corpse Puppet.

Roar!

The Blood Demon Corpse Puppet roared as its blood-red claws swiped toward the Sect Master.

Bang!

Bang!

The Sect Master of Heavenly Extermination Sect parried with his sword time and time again, but the puppet’s ferocious power overwhelmed him, eventually wounding him.

"Urgh!" Blood spilled from the Sect Master’s mouth as he stumbled backward.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

"Are you hurt?" Many members of the Heavenly Extermination Sect asked in concern.

"Haha, Heavenly Extermination old thief, you cannot hope to defeat my Blood Demon Corpse Puppet! You’d best surrender while you still can!" the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse laughed triumphantly.

With the Blood Demon Corpse Puppet by his side, he was practically invincible!

"Heh, Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse, don’t speak too soon!" The Sect Master sneered coldly, a mighty aura suddenly erupting from him. "Nine Swords of Heavenly Fiend!"

With a single swing, the Sect Master’s sword unleashed nine terrifying sword beams, each brimming with deadly energy!

Boom!

Crash!

The Blood Demon Corpse Puppet suffered a massive blow, its arm severed, howling in agony!

The crowd was stunned!

"Heavenly Extermination scoundrel... You actually mastered the Nine Swords of Heavenly Fiend!" the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse exclaimed in shock.

Holding his sword, the Sect Master smirked coldly, declaring, "Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse, did you think I challenged you to a death match for no reason? I’ve mastered the Nine Swords of Heavenly Fiend, capable of destroying your Blood Demon Corpse Puppet!"

The Old Demon’s expression darkened but quickly morphed into a sinister smile. "Heh, Sect Master of Heavenly Extermination, I admit I underestimated you. However, look over there—do you know who they are? Poison Gu Hermit, Brother Blood Jiao, show yourselves!"

From the shadows emerged Poison Gu Hermit and Blood Jiao Elder, their formidable peak Transformation Realm auras sweeping across the entire battlefield and striking fear into all present!

"Damn, it’s Poison Gu Hermit and Blood Jiao Elder!"

"Both of them are peak Transformation Realm cultivators!"

"With three against one, the Sect Master is doomed to lose!" Faces of the Heavenly Extermination sect members turned pale.

"Heh, with two peak Transformation Realm cultivators aiding me, Heavenly Extermination scum, your death is guaranteed today!" The Old Demon grinned excitedly. "Brothers, I leave it to you!"

The two nodded but suddenly turned and struck at the Old Demon instead!

Bang!

Bang!

Heavily wounded, the Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse spat blood and collapsed. "You... What is the meaning of this?" he asked, shocked.

The crowd was stunned!

"Oh heavens... Poison Gu Hermit and Blood Jiao Elder betrayed him!"

"What in the world is going on?" Everyone from the Heavenly Corpse Sect froze, including the onlooking cultivators, utterly dumbfounded.

"Heh, Old Demon, the Sect Master of Heavenly Extermination has promised me thirty thousand Spirit Crystals!" Poison Gu Hermit sneered.

Gasp!

Thirty thousand Spirit Crystals!

An astronomical sum!

Even peak Transformation Realm cultivators couldn’t resist!

The Old Demon’s expression was one of utter disbelief as he turned to Blood Jiao Elder, asking, "Brother Blood Jiao, we’re sworn brothers! Why betray me?"

"Big Brother, as long as I kill you, the Sect Master has promised to give me control of the Heavenly Corpse Sect—that offer is irresistible!" Blood Jiao Elder replied.

What!?

The Old Demon spat blood in fury, exclaiming, "Blood Jiao Elder, I treated you as a brother, yet you aspire to replace me!"

"Heh, blame your own cruelty!" Blood Jiao Elder sneered.

With two peak Transformation Realm betrayers joining forces, the tide of the battle had completely turned!

The scales tipped entirely in favor of the Heavenly Extermination Sect! ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Poison Gu Hermit and Blood Jiao Elder approached the Sect Master.

"Thank you, both of you!" the Sect Master expressed his gratitude.

"No need, removing the cancer of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, including the Old Demon, has been a long-held wish of ours!" they responded.

Now, three peak Transformation Realm cultivators stood united, reversing the tide of battle!

"Good, good, good!" The Old Demon sneered with bitter sarcasm, saying, "Heavenly Extermination scoundrel, you’re ruthless!"

"Hmph, Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse, with three peak Transformation Realm cultivators working together, you’re doomed today! Surrender obediently!" the Sect Master declared.

"Heh, is that so?" The Old Demon smirked, suddenly looking toward the Four Brothers of Evil Person Island. "Brothers, it’s your turn!"

At that moment, Blood Axe Li Tao swung his axe, launching a sneak attack at the Sect Master.

Bam!

The Sect Master recoiled from the surprise blow, spitting out blood.

"Li Tao, why... why betray me?" Shock filled the Sect Master’s face!

Li Tao removed a mask from his face, revealing the hideous visage of an elderly, pockmarked man. He chuckled sinisterly, "Sect Master, don’t you recognize me?"

The Sect Master inhaled sharply in terror!

"You... You’re the second-ranked villain of Evil Person Island—Thousand-Faced Demon Lord..."

Gasp!

Thousand-Faced Demon Lord!

Everyone drew sharp breaths in horror!

"The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, ranked second among the Nine Villains of Evil Person Island, is notorious for his skill in disguise, wielding thousands of faces. Rumor has it his cultivation is at the pseudo-Unity Realm stage!"

"This move by the Old Demon completely turns the tables!"

"With a pseudo-Unity Realm foe in play, the tide of the battle is once again shifting!"

"The Heavenly Extermination Sect is in grave danger now!"

Watching the chaotic battle, Ye Wudao felt his heart skip a beat. Indeed, clashes between sects were filled with treachery and calculations. Each peak Transformation Realm cultivator was a master strategist with unfathomable schemes!

"Old Demon of Heavenly Corpse, Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, your shamelessness knows no bounds!" the Sect Master bellowed in anger. His face turned ashen as blood spewed from his mouth.

"Haha, Heavenly Extermination scoundrel, I was merely playing along in your little charade earlier. Your every move has been under my watch!" The Old Demon laughed arrogantly.

"Retreat!" the Sect Master shouted.

"Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, the Heavenly Extermination Sect Master is yours. I’ll take care of the rest of their disciples!" the Old Demon declared.

"Very well." The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord nodded.

With the addition of the pseudo-Unity Realm powerhouse, the situation was now utterly one-sided!

Combined with the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s advantage of timing, location, and manpower!

Defeat for the Heavenly Extermination Sect was inevitable!

Ye Wudao had no intention of sacrificing himself alongside the Heavenly Extermination Sect and had already retreated to a safe distance.

Watching the sect crumble like a tidal wave, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, that thought was snuffed out!

No!

His mother and Yueli were still trapped in the Heavenly Corpse Sect!

He couldn’t leave them behind!

If he let this chance slip away, rescuing them in the future would become nearly impossible!

Ye Wudao retreated quietly while scanning his surroundings.

Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance!

Li Tiandao!

Seeing this man, cold resolve flashed in Ye Wudao’s eyes as a plan took shape!
