Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 456 - 305: Wei Ji
Chapter 456: Chapter 305: Wei Ji
“Hmm, these are…”
As he passed by a tent, Su Jie caught the pungent scent of corpse decay.
Lifting the tent flap and stepping inside, Su Jie witnessed a bizarre scene.
Within the tent, there were hundreds of bodies piled up, mostly strong, young males. Judging by their clothing and the calluses on their hands, they appeared to be common civilians and not cultivators or people from the martial arts community.
Each corpse was positioned strangely—they knelt on both knees, their heads drooping low, with no visible wounds anywhere on their bodies.
“This is the aura of the Great Tao.”
As Su Jie squatted down to examine the bodies, he unexpectedly sensed a trace of the Great Tao’s aura. His expression immediately turned to one of surprise.
One should know that the Great Tao can only be contacted initially by a Primordial Spirit. Those who have just achieved a Primordial Spirit could, at most, withstand it for a few seconds in front of the Great Tao; to look for even one more second could cause them to explode.
Ordinary Divine Souls without a Primordial Spirit achievement don’t even have the means to sense the Great Tao, let alone establish any connection to it.
The commoners who died here had no chance whatsoever to come into contact with the Great Tao.
“Strange, truly strange.”
Very puzzled, Su Jie communicated using his Divine Sense. Soon, two Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples walked over, pushing a few captives ahead of them.
These Righteous Disciples had their limbs broken and were dragged in front of Su Jie like dead dogs.
“What’s the matter with these corpses? Tell me everything.”
“Pah, you devil! Just kill me if you dare—I’ll die before I tell you anything,”
On hearing Su Jie’s question, a Righteous Disciple spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, the blood dispersing midway by the vibration of Su Jie’s Spiritual Power.
The Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples glared, ready to slap the life out of the Righteous Disciple who dared to insult their Elder.
“Death is a release. In our Demon Sect, there are plenty of punishments that make life worse than death.”
Su Jie waved his hand at the Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples and said indifferently, “Take them down and let them enjoy it.”
“Yes, Elder Su, rest assured, even the most enduring man will speak under our hands.”
The faces of several Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples twisted into sinister smiles as they dragged the pale-faced Righteous Disciples out of the tent.
In no time at all, inhuman screams erupted from outside the tent, accompanied by the sound of poisonous insects chewing and crawling, enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
Half an hour later, the Righteous Disciples were dragged back in.
Now they were covered in injuries, and their eyes still held a deep fear.
“Now, are you willing to answer my question? My patience is limited.”
As Su Jie spoke again, the Righteous Disciples shook uncontrollably, hastening to tell Su Jie everything they knew.
After listening, Su Jie’s face grew more solemn.
“Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, quite a grand move.”
It turned out that Guan Chao Pavilion, unable to overcome Ghost Ridge Palace after a long siege, had decided to bring out their Great Taoist Formation.
Such a formation was terrifying in power, as it could connect to the aura of the Great Tao and use the Heavenly Might of the Great Tao to affect the real world.
However, this approach came with a hidden danger, as the Great Tao isn’t so easily manipulated, like leaking the secrets of heaven, which must bring disasters.
The Great Taoist Formation would cause the caster to be affected by karma, something even those in the Taoist Platform Realm could not bear.
For this reason, Guan Chao Pavilion gathered a large number of civilians and used a special Magic Skill to transfer the karma they had to bear onto the civilians, letting them take the brunt of it instead.
This was also the reason why Su Jie had felt the aura of the Great Tao on these cadavers.
“Who are the real devils after all! These Righteous Sects are resorting to such dishonorable tactics as sacrificing civilians.”
Su Jie muttered to himself, wondering about the status of the Hundred Rivers Covering Array that Guan Chao Pavilion had prepared.

This Array could gather the water from many rivers, and once it was set up, it could unleash a sky-obscuring tsunami, completely submerging and destroying Ghost Ridge Palace.
Luckily, Ghost Ridge Palace had launched a pre-emptive strike, otherwise when that Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array’s assault came, Su Jie would be left with no choice but to flee back to Blue Star.
Without Ghost Ridge Palace as his support, Su Jie would have to live a life of hiding and evasion—as a Demon Cultivator, he was an outcast, condemned by all.
“Forget it, it’s not my concern. I’d better find the main force first and inform the Sect Master so he can decide,” Su Jie decided with a deep breath, stepping out of the tent. Gathering the many plundered Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples, he mounted the thousand-hand centipede and flew towards the predetermined rendezvous point.
Below the thousand-hand centipede burned the raging fires of Ding 12 Camp, the fifth camp Su Jie had destroyed that night, having removed all targets in a single evening.
…
On the night of Su Jie’s operation, the entire Ghost Ridge Palace, under the leadership of Elders, set out to launch surprise attacks on the Righteous sects’ camps everywhere.
Caught off guard, the Righteous sect suffered considerable losses.
But many Elders did not have as smooth an operation as Su Jie, with varying degrees of casualties and in some cases total annihilation.
Camp Jiajiu was alight with activity.
The cries of battle erupted as Righteous Sect Disciples and Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples engaged in vicious combat. Magic Artifacts clashed, Magic Skills flew wildly, poisonous insects shrieked, and the scene was littered with blood and severed limbs and bodies.
“Prepare to die.”
Yu Wenjing, holding a trident, with vast waves rolling behind him and riding on a surge of white frothy waves, was locked in an intense battle with an Elder of Ghost Ridge Palace who was at the Third Level of the Secret Realm.
Yu Wenjing, one of the Divine Sons of Guan Chao Pavilion, possessed an Obsidian Scale Body, ranked fourteenth among Divine Bodies, a position even higher than Du Shaochang.
If Su Jie were here, he would certainly recognize that Yu Wenjing, who had bid farewell in East Victory City still at the Ten Levels of Yunling Realm, had now advanced to the Secret Realm, achieving the First Level of cultivation.
