WHAT! I Have To Kill Heaven's Son To Live!-Chapter 197: … Hell Is Coming For All Of You!

Xu Liang gracefully returned to her mount in the sky and seated herself as if nothing had happened—her expression serene, her aura steady.

She spoke in a calm, almost gentle voice.

"Junior Xue Taiyang, I’ve acquired all the information we need. We can head straight to their base now... and eliminate any of their lackeys along the way."

"Y-Yeah," Reon replied, still stunned.

Xu Liang looked ahead, her gaze sharp.

"Then let’s not waste time. Xiao Min—full speed."

SCREECH!

Whoosh!

The giant eagle let out a piercing cry and flapped its wings with tremendous force, propelling itself forward.

The wind howled past them like a storm of flying blades, the forest below blurring into a sea of green.

Reon turned to glance at her—utterly composed, as though she hadn’t just turned a battlefield into a wasteland.

He swallowed slightly, still processing what he had just witnessed.

’I knew she was strong... but this strong?’

He looked down.

An entire stretch of forest—spanning hundreds of miles—was now nothing but scorched ash, the earth cracked and smoldering.

’That cloaked man... he was no ordinary thug. His strength was at least at the Mid-Stage Elements Refining Realm. He was likely an executive of the Children of the Black Sun’s branch in the Zhenou Kingdom.’

’And yet... the fight was completely one-sided. Over in minutes. He didn’t stand a chance.’

He stared at Xu Liang again.

’So this... this is the power of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.’

’Children of the Black Sun... hell is coming for all of you.’

Three weeks passed...

During that time, Xu Liang had destroyed the branch forces of the Iron Howl Bandits’ near the edge of the forest—blasting it from the sky with her powerful attacks.

Fortunately, there were no kidnapped victims inside the bases—something Xu Liang had already confirmed with her powerful Spiritual Sense before blasting them apart.

It turned out the bandits had already moved their prisoners to the main fortress, the same place where Reon had stormed.

They were getting exactly a hundred children ready with their forces before the Executive of the Children of the Black Sun arrived.

But that was just the beginning.

Reon and Xu Liang wiped out twenty-two more bandit strongholds, along with their outposts scattered across the other counties.

Together, they thoroughly searched the entire Zhenou Kingdom for any remaining bandits, rescuing over two thousand captives along the way.

Just as Reon had guessed, the Children of the Black Sun were using bandits to collect people for sacrifices.

Thankfully, they hadn’t yet spread into every county.

Reon took it upon himself to heal what wounds he could.

He used Mind-Cleansing Talismans to heal those who were deeply affected in the mind. And for every poor family whose life had been ruined, he gave them 100 gold coins to help them get back on their feet.

Xu Liang observed silently, speaking little, yet inwardly, her respect and admiration for him quietly deepened.

For his compassion and selflessness toward mortals, her favorability toward Reon increased by another 20 points.

Their interactions had also grown more relaxed—less formal, more natural.

They were more than just allies bound by conditions.

They were becoming more like martial brother and sister.

"Junior Brother, now only the main base of the Children of the Black Sun remains in the Zhenou Kingdom," Xu Liang said, glancing over her shoulder from atop her flying mount.

"Yes, Senior Sister. Let’s wipe them out as well,," Reon replied firmly.

"Of course. They will regret ever choosing to serve demons."

Nestled between them, Mei Lin chimed in with a bright smile.

"Fairy Sister is so kind and strong—just like Brother Taiyang! My view of cultivators has completely changed because of you two." freёnovelkiss.com

Xu Liang turned slightly, a soft smile on her lips.

"Oh? And what do you mean by that, Little Lin?"

Reon chuckled and explained, "Actually, Senior Sister, Xiao Lin used to be afraid of cultivators. She believed they destroyed towns and cities over the smallest mistakes of mortals."

Xu Liang gave a thoughtful nod.

"Hmm... it’s not entirely wrong. There are many like that. So always be cautious, Little Lin. Don’t speak carelessly in front of unfamiliar cultivators—they can have dangerous tempers."

She reached out and gently patted Mei Lin’s head.

"But with Brother Taiyang by your side, you’ll be fine. And with your amazing talent, I’m sure you’ll grow into a powerful and kind cultivator yourself someday."

"Yes! I want to be just like Brother Taiyang!" Mei Lin said excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

’Talents, huh? Yeah... she’s got them—monstrous ones at that. I’ve been teaching her cultivation and a few techniques over the past three weeks, and Senior Sister’s been guiding her too.’

’And damn... she’s already catching up to me. Mid-Stage Qi Solidification Realm in just three weeks? She’s a total monster.’

Xu Liang looked ahead, her expression resolute.

"Then let’s head to our final destination. Xiao Min—fly to Minlung County."

With a mighty flap of its wings, the giant eagle soared forward.

...

In a vast, shadow-drenched chamber, the flickering glow of wall-mounted lamps cast long, wavering shadows across the stone floor.

At the center stood a large, round table—surrounded by seven chairs.

Six of them were occupied by figures cloaked in darkness, their hoods drawn low to conceal their faces.

Each cloak bore a glowing number etched into the fabric—symbols of their rank within the cult.

Only one chair remained empty.

The one marked with the number 443 slammed his hand on the table, his voice rising with frustration.

"What is going on? Can someone please explain why the sacrifices have suddenly stopped? My Lord grows restless—he craves fresh blood!"

Across the table, another voice responded, sharp with irritation. The figure bore the mark 446 on his hood.

"Keep your voice down. Your shouting is irritating. And I have the same question... My Lord is furious as well."

"Y-You—!"

The one labeled 444 leaned forward, his tone grim.

"We’ve confirmed that Number 445 was killed while attempting to collect sacrifices in Ninzhou County.

We also tried reaching out to our contacts in the surrounding regions... but it seems every single supplier base already has been wiped out."

"What?! Number 445 is dead?" Number 443 gasped. "He wasn’t weak... how could he be taken down?"

Number 442 spoke with a thoughtful hum.

"Perhaps he ran into a sect elder or a hidden master while operating too openly. Suspicion tends to attract blades."

Number 446 tapped his fingers nervously.

"Still... for all of our supplier bases to be taken out in just a few weeks? That seems like more than just coincidence. Could someone have discovered our network?"

"Unlikely," Number 442 replied calmly.

"Our supplier base leaders know nothing about us. They were simply killed off for kidnapping too frequently and drawing unwanted attention."

At last, the one seated at the head—marked with the number 441—spoke. His voice was steady, deep, and commanding.

"Enough. We will lay low. Cease all sacrifice gathering for now. It’s time we focus on the sects we’ve infiltrated. We’ll stir chaos from within. Let the righteous rot from the inside out."

A cold silence filled the room before they all spoke at once, their voices low and echoing.

"Yes."
