As if it was a stream of light from the sky, a sword light cut through the white clouds in the sky and disappeared.
“That was fast…”
Liu Hong looked at the stream of light disappearing into the distant sky and muttered in a daze.
He was born and raised in the Sword Sect and had seen countless sword experts. He had seen many people with fast sword lights.
He had never seen anyone as fast as Han Muye.
Even those Earth Realm Core Formation cultivators might not have such speed.
“Guard the Sword Pavilion well.”
Lu Gao bowed his head and sat cross-legged in front of the stone steps.
“Senior Brother Han said so.”
Lin Shen nodded and sat with him.
Yang Mingxuan and Jiang Ming looked at each other and walked into the first floor of the Sword Pavilion.
Guard the Sword Pavilion.
On the peak of the Nine Mystic Mountain in the distance, Tuoba Cheng and Sect Master Jin Ze stood side by side.
Compared to Tuoba Cheng’s flourishing vitality, Jin Ze’s body exuded a withered aura.
However, the divine light in Jin Ze’s eyes was still bright.
“Hehe, this kid can’t hide anymore.”
Jin Ze laughed and said as he watched the sword light escape.
“This kid is fine in other aspects, but his personality is not competitive. He doesn’t take anything seriously.” Tuoba Cheng’s eyes flashed with sword light as he spoke in a deep voice.
“He’s not even willing to take over my Three Stones House.”
His words made Jin Ze laugh.
“This kid is very ambitious. The Sword Pavilion has been in the Western Frontier for 10,000 years. Only that prodigy from 5,000 years ago could cultivate three incantations to his level in a year, right?”
Jin Ze smiled and shook his head. Then a trace of regret appeared on his face. “It’s a pity that the person guarding the Sword Pavilion disappeared in the end. Otherwise, our Nine Mystic Sword Sect wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation.”
Tuoba Cheng nodded and retracted his gaze from the distant sky to look at the Nine Mystic Mountain below.
“But if we force that kid today, will he have a problem with you and me?”
Hearing Tuoba Cheng’s words, a smile appeared on Jin Ze’s face. He said softly, “Even if he has an opinion, I’m just a pile of bones. Can he find trouble with me?
“As for you, that’s your business.”
With that, he turned around and slowly walked into the hall behind him.
“After you’ve dealt with those trivial matters, go into seclusion. I won’t be able to last long.”
Jin Ze’s voice came.
Tuoba Cheng nodded, took a deep breath, and rushed down the mountain.
…
Cloud Nest Ridge, a thousand miles behind Fengshou Mountain.
Originally, there were a large number of sycamore trees here.
At this moment, many of the sycamore trees on Cloud Nest Ridge had been cut off, revealing an empty space.
On a cliff, Tang Chi, who was wearing a green robe and a golden crown, stood quietly.
Behind him, several old men with solemn auras and many young men holding swords rose.
“Young Master Tang, the Suyang Sect, Clear Wind Temple, and more than 10 other defected sects have been hiding for three days. They definitely can’t hold on anymore. It won’t be long before they send people to surrender.”
Beside Tang Chi, an old man in a purple Daoist robe had a smile on his face. He said in a low voice, “Young Master, you defeated 100,000 cultivators from the rebel sect without a fight. This achievement will definitely spread throughout the Western Frontier.”
The others chuckled at his words.
They followed Tang Chi mainly because they valued the power of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect behind him.
Of course, Tang Chi was really capable and bold.
He led hundreds of experts to block the path of the rebel sect.
Now that the reinforcements from the Southern Wasteland at the Fengshou Mountain could not come over, and the army at the Changming Mountain caught up, if these rebel sects did not surrender, they would only be scattered.
If 100,000 cultivators gathered, they still had the strength to fight.
If they dispersed, they would really vanish into thin air. They would no longer be able to cause any waves and could only be slowly surrounded.
Those rebel sects also knew this, so they did not dare to escape. They gathered together and wanted to increase their bargaining chips.
Now, as long as Tang Chi nodded, these 100,000 rebel sect disciples would become Tang Chi’s subordinates and follow him to Fengshou Mountain to resist the Southern Wasteland Army.
It did not take much effort to subdue a 100,000-strong army. How could these experts who came with Tang Chi not be happy?
“Who said I want to accept their surrender?” Tang Chi narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance with a cold expression.
His words froze the smiles of those behind him.
“Young Master Tang, if you don’t accept their surrender, they will hold on for two days. The defense line of Fengshou Mountain will be breached—”
Before the white-haired old man could finish speaking, Tang Chi said indifferently, “If that place isn’t destroyed, how can this place become the main battlefield of the Southern Wasteland and the Western Frontier?”
Become the main battlefield?
The experts were stunned.
How could this place become the main battlefield?
Although they were all in the Earth Realm, they knew their limits.
With their combat strength, they could not withstand a single blow from those Southern Wasteland experts.
If the experts of the Southern Wasteland came, they would probably immediately escape.
“Did I, Tang Chi, come here to help someone else?” Tang Chi turned his head and looked at the experts with a crazy expression.
“You should know my identity on the Nine Mystic Mountain.
“I came here to lead this great battle.
“Fengshou Mountain has gathered countless experts from the Western Frontier and the Southern Wasteland. It’s really good to lure them here and use them as pawns.”
Whether it was the Earth Realm experts or the young experts standing at the back, everyone had solemn expressions.
They could not imagine that Tang Chi would actually be so crazy as to use the experts on Fengshou Mountain as chess pieces. Such a matter would cause chaos in the world.
How dare he?
There were tens of millions of cultivators on the Fengshou Mountain battlefront, from the Heaven Realm to the Essence Cultivation Realm.
To attract so many cultivators into a chaotic battle, one would really die a horrible death.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Tang Chi revealed a relaxed smile and said casually, “I’m going to be a chess player, not a chess piece.
“Hehe, don’t worry. I’m with you. How can we be implicated in this battle?”
Hearing his words, the elders looked at each other and nodded.
The others breathed a small sigh of relief.
Indeed, Tang Chi’s cultivation level was not higher than theirs. If they were really involved in such a huge battle, it would not be easy for them to survive.
As a junior elite nurtured by the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, Tang Chi would never let himself be in danger.
Perhaps he had a powerful backup plan.
“When that Huang Six arrives, help me find him.”
Tang Chi looked at the distant spiritual light at the edge of the forest and said calmly, “I hope he’s smart.”
The few people standing behind Tang Chi nodded.
In their opinion, Huang Six had stirred up the world. He was definitely not stupid.
This person should be able to see the situation clearly.
At this moment, in the wilderness hundreds of miles away, Huang Six was leading Gao Xiaoxuan in quick steps.
Behind them were Boss He and a few other agile experts.
They were all Earth Realm experts.
The other cultivators below the Earth Realm cared about the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s merit reward. What they cared about was the medicinal pill reward that Bai Suzhen had given out for Han Muye.
What could tempt these Earth Realm experts was the immortal-grade medicinal pill.
“Sixth Brother, don’t worry. We will definitely save Sixth Sister-in-law.”
Gao Xiaoxuan grabbed Huang Six’s sleeve and whispered.
Huang Six looked back at him, grinned, and reached out to touch his hair.
“Why did you come with me?”
He looked up into the distance and said softly, “Of course Sister Ping will be fine.”
In the distance, spiritual light flashed, and blood essence transformed into a pillar of smoke.
That was where the various sects were stationed.
“Someone’s here.”
Boss He, who was following behind Huang Six, moved and stood in front of him.
Not far away, a figure in a black robe with a hood covering his face flew over.
“Huang Zhenxiong?”
The man stood hundreds of feet away and spoke in a deep voice.
Huang Six took a step forward and nodded. “That’s me.”
The man raised his hand and threw out a jade token.
Huang Six took it, his eyes twitching.
“Do you know this identity token?” The black-robed man said coldly.
Huang Six nodded. He held the jade token tightly and suppressed his emotions. “What do you want?”
The black-robed man chuckled and pointed at Huang Six. “Follow me.”
“Just you.”
Boss He and the others’ expressions changed. Just as they were about to speak, Huang Six raised his hand and said, “Everyone, I’ll go. They won’t do anything to me. There’s no need for that.”
With that, he patted Gao Xiaoxuan’s shoulder and strode forward.
After following the black-robed man for dozens of kilometers, he saw a few figures standing on the hill ahead.
“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Huang Zhenxiong.” The person in front was wearing a purple Daoist robe. He smiled and cupped his hands at Huang Six. “I’m Daoist Feng Xu from Clear Wind Temple. I’m Qingping’s Uncle-Master.”
Huang Six cupped his hands, his expression unchanged. “Where is Sister Ping?”
Daoist Feng Xu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lu Qingping is very safe.”
At this point, he looked at the people beside him and nodded. Then he turned to look at Huang Six and said, “Fellow Daoist Huang, as long as you can help us, Lu Qingping will appear in front of you unscathed.”
Huang was silent at his words.
He wanted to save Lu Qingping.
But he knew what he could and could not do.
There were some things that he could not do.
He was from the Nine Mystic Sword Sect and would never do anything to let the Sword Sect down.
“Haha, don’t worry. We don’t expect you to lead us out of the Western Frontier. This matter is too difficult.” Daoist Feng Xu saw Huang Six’s concerns and said with a smile.
Huang nodded and took a breath. “Then what do you want me to do?”
“Fellow Daoist Huang, you’re from the Sword Pavilion of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect. You’ve contributed greatly to the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.
“We want you to be our lobbyist and help us hand over the surrender letter to Mr. Tang Chi.”
Daoist Feng Xu sighed and said helplessly, “Fellow Daoist Huang, you know that we don’t want to betray the Nine Mystic Sword Sect unless we really have no choice.
“Now we regret it. I hope Young Master Tang can let us off.
“As long as Fellow Daoist Huang delivers the letter, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we will let you see Lu Qingping.”
Huang Six looked at Daoist Feng Xu. The light in his eyes finally faded. He lowered his head and said, “I hope you will keep your word.”
