To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Sacrifice
Zhen Yuan thought that his speed was already at its maximum yet when he arrived at the Energetic Medicine sect, the Sect Chief said that the relief force led by master Hayang and the others had departed more than a few days ago.
That meant they might have entered the Iron Sand kingdom or might be near the border between the two kingdoms.
“The two sects are unlikely to let them enter the Iron Sand kingdom which means they will wait around the border!” Zhen Yuan became more anxious, he hurriedly continued his flight towards the royal border.
However, from 30 kilometers away from the border, Zhen Yuan saw the former great battle there. Suspicious, he went down and checked the place.
The dried blood, broken weapons and corpses that could no longer be identified were destroyed by vultures.
Zhen Yuan's eyes widened in shock when he saw the clothes worn by the corpses coming from the Lightning Sword and Inner Estuary sect as well as the most striking ones were the clothes from the Energetic Medicine sect.
Zhen Yuan realized that it was too late to save them all. The two great sects had moved and blocked the army of Effort Medicines and even massacred them.
The young man tried to browse through the entire battleground, hoping to find a clue or two. From the words of the sect head, Master Hayang led the relief force along with the friends he knew.
In his life this time, he has established several friendships, for example, Gou Shan and others. Zhen Yuan would be very sad if they all died.
Right in the middle of the battle area, Zhen Yuan saw several corpses lying around with some body parts shattered like being hit by an explosion. Fortunately they were all wearing the clothes of the Lightning Sword and Inner Estuary sect.
But when Zhen Yuan's eyes retraced the area, he found 4 corpses tied together in a circular position. Strangely the four bodies have 4 different tokens. Although their situation was extremely shattered and unrecognizable, Zhen Yuan was able to figure out the token they had.
Those tokens were those specially created by the Effort Medicine sect to show the identity of a master and Grand Elder. Three grand elder tokens and one master token. Zhen Yuan instantly fell to his knees with a trembling hand taking out the four tokens.
The sect head said that other than Master Hayang, there were 4 grand elders accompanying him. They were grand elder Mei, Monk Aswin, Horned Demon, and grand elder of the Weapon King Sect.
He took the four tokens and used a lightning storm to smash the battle area into dust. Now there is no more remnants of the battle, there is only a deep crater with an area of almost 500 meters.
“This crater will be named as Sacrifice Crater!” A thunderous voice sounded filled with anger. Zhen Yuan continued his journey towards the Iron Sand kingdom.
Little did he get a clue if there were some Efficacious Medicine troops who managed to escape. Because he did not find a token from the monk Aswin who could be the leader of the army at this time.
Zhen Yuan hoped that the people he knew would still survive and belong to the group.

Monk Aswin managed to bring his army towards the sect of Poisonous Insects. Although the rest of his army only numbered less than a thousand yet they were all strong cultivators and were able to deal with 2 to 3 opponents at the same time.
Master Xian came and greeted the monk Aswin. Master Xian's strength had reached the 5th layer yet still looked at the monk Aswin respectfully, however the pressure exerted by the monk had frightened teacher Xian.
“I've heard if Monk Aswin and the others went on a difficult journey to get here! I am sorry and thank you”
Patriarch Duchong also came and welcomed the monk Aswin and the others. Behind him a young woman followed with a smooth and slow pace. The beauty of the woman was not inferior to Qing Hongyun and Princess Yewan despite the green color of her hair and pupils. ‘
Yewan Er, Qing Hongyun and some of the former young elders immediately recognized the woman behind the patriarch Duchong. They were all very surprised to find that the woman was none other than Du Lian who had disappeared in recent years. Apparently he was in the Poisonous Insect sect and became a disciple of the patriarch Duchong.
“Du Lian saluted Monk Aswin and the young elders” Du Lian came forward and greeted. It's a little not cold on them in contrast to a few years ago.
Monk Aswin nodded while Darma and the others replied in reply.
