"Master!"
The Five Scatterers led the disciples of Manichaeism in, their clothes stained with blood. Jiang Han nodded at them and then pointed to Xiong Ba, who was barely able to move on the ground, saying, "Take him with you!"
The Five Scatterers and the disciples of Manichaeism felt a chill run down their spines. In such a short time, their master had incapacitated the Twelve Fiends of Heavenly Pool, and even the renowned Xiong Ba from the Western Regions was now struggling for breath.
Had they not attacked Heavenly Union, their understanding of its strength might have remained shallow; they would have thought it merely a second-rate power. Even if it had some strength, it couldn't possibly be as formidable as rumored.
But what was the reality? A small Heavenly Union actually possessed 17 Innate martial artists and the formidable Xiong Ba, who was a Half-Step Martial Arts Grandmaster (the disciples were unaware that Xiong Ba had already become a Martial Arts Grandmaster)! This level of strength was hardly inferior to that of Manichaeism.
With Xiong Ba as a hostage, the resistance from Heavenly Union gradually subsided, and the disciples threw down their weapons, kneeling in surrender.
"Report to the Master, two of Xiong Ba's direct disciples just escaped amidst the chaos!"
Wei Yixiao leaped forward, his figure darting like a ghost until he stood before Jiang Han.
"Oh?" Jiang Han frowned slightly.
Wei Yixiao felt a tremor in his heart but steeled himself to nod and quickly said, "However, with my Profound Yin Divine Palm, extracting Cold Poison from those two brats won't be a difficult task."
Jiang Han had his suspicions and asked, "Do you know the names of Xiong Ba's two disciples?"
"One is named Nie Feng, with an Innate Second Layer cultivation; the other is Bu Jingyun, with an Innate Third Layer cultivation. I failed in my mission; please punish me, Master!" Wei Yixiao replied honestly.
Jiang Han fell silent for a moment before sighing and saying, "Forget it, get up. Hurry and help clean up the mess; we can't let anyone take advantage of this chaos to steal Heavenly Union's legacy and leave us empty-handed."
Attacking the Heavenly Union serves two purposes: one is to eliminate potential threats in their infancy, and the other is to rapidly strengthen Manichaeism by seizing the wealth of the Heavenly Union. This is the crux of the operation.
As for Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun escaping? These two have extraordinary fortunes; they often turn disasters into blessings. If disciples are sent to pursue them, it would likely result in these two handing over their heads as trophies. For now, let them go free to avoid alarming the snake in the grass. Once we have a grasp on their movements, we can gather the experts of Manichaeism to set up an intricate net; with their limited skills, they won't be able to escape!
"Understood!" Wei Yixiao received the order and immediately led his disciples toward the Heavenly Union's Scripture Repository, treasury, and Xiong Ba's usual residence, determined to scour every inch and uncover all treasures.
Coincidentally, after a bloody battle, Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng caught up with them.
Jiang Han first turned to Yin Tianzheng and said, "Leader Yin, please go ahead and handle the prisoners of war. Carefully distinguish between the die-hard elements and those who can be absorbed into our Manichaeism to strengthen our lower ranks."
His words were clear: as long as they are lower-ranking disciples, those who have followed Xiong Ba for many years and profited significantly should not be retained, regardless of their cultivation level. Lower-ranking disciples who wish to leave this bloody life behind and return home to their families should also be released.
Yin Tianzheng bowed in acknowledgment and then led a large group to deal with the prisoners.
"Envoy Yang, come with me!" Jiang Han took Yang Xiao and several other experts from Manichaeism along a winding corridor. After about half a quarter of an hour, they finally found the place where the Heavenly Union was imprisoning Light Right Envoy Fan Yao and experts from the Six Major Sects.
"Just as I thought! I wondered how the Heavenly Union dared to imprison us; it turns out they are colluding with the demonic sect. Bah!" As soon as Jiang Han and his companions entered the prison, a young man bound on a wooden frame and covered in wounds spat towards them.
Jiang Han merely frowned, while one of Yang Xiao's companions leaped forward, opened the prison door, walked inside, and swung his hand to deliver a slap.
" fuck you! If I, the Holy Church, want to deal with you, I don't need to collude with the world! Are you out of your mind or did you take the wrong medicine? I told you to watch your mouth! You little turtle! Why didn't your father just shoot you against the wall back then and spare us from having such a son of a turtle!"
The disciple's insults were relentless, leaving the person so enraged that he fainted on the spot. Jiang Han smirked slightly but said nothing as he continued forward.
"Let's see, where is Right Envoy Fan?" The main reason Jiang Han was not very familiar with Fan Yao was that Fan Yao was rarely at Bright Summit. The two had hardly seen each other in over a decade, and their memories had long faded.
After Yang Dingtian's disappearance, Yang Xiao and Fan Yao took on different responsibilities—one managing internal affairs of the Sect Leader and the other handling external matters. Although they occasionally clashed, they managed to work together reasonably well.
In fact, if it weren't for their efforts to maintain stability over the years, the decline of Manichaeism might have been even more severe. While they couldn't manage powerful figures like the Carefree Immortal Duo, Five Scatterers, or White-Browed Eagle King, they still managed to retain a number of talented individuals for Manichaeism.
At the very least, core forces like the Five Element Flag Bearers remained loyal to Manichaeism under their guidance and never wavered.
