“I understand!” Ye Chen did not know what to say. These elders before him looked aged and wrinkled, and similar to Elder Ke, but who did not feel pain?
They watched their children and grandchildren die with their own eyes, and they were helpless.
Revenge had become the only thing that kept them alive.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Not everyone in the Kunlun Mountains was like Liang Yue, who would do anything for their own survival.
“Junior Ancestor, let me brief you on the overall strength of our Blood Night Sect.”
“Although we’ve been suppressed twice by the Blood Spirit Clan and once by the Huang family, we’re still a sect from ancient times and have some foundation.”
Xue Qin heaved a long sigh and began to introduce Ye Chen to each of the elders.
“This is the grand elder, Wang Ming. He’s a sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm expert!”
“This is the first elder, Xue Jiantian, a fifth-level Supreme Emperor realm expert!”
“The other eight core elders are between the first and fourth levels of the Supreme Emperor realm.”
“There are a total of 37 core disciples, and they are all between the fourth level and peak of the Daoyuan realm.”
“There are a total of 15 true disciples, including Xue Qi. They are between the seventh level of the Daoyuan realm and the third level of the Supreme Emperor realm.”
“There are two more grand elders back at the sect, and they are between the seventh and eighth levels of the Supreme Emperor realm.”
“This is the combat strength the sect possesses. As long as you give the order, Junior Ancestor, we can start our preparations to fight to the death!”
Ye Chen listened to Xue Qin introduce these various aspects of the sect’s strength calmly. If it was in the past, he would have thought that having so many Supreme Emperor realm experts was very powerful.
However, now that he knew about the cultivation realms above the Supreme Emperor realm and the strength of the Blood Spirit Clan, he knew that the number of Supreme Emperor realm experts was not of much use.
The only benefit was that if there were enough of them, he would be able to help those with enough talent to the ninth-level of the Supreme Emperor realm using pills, and if he could find enough immortal artifacts, help them break through to the Semi Divine realm.
Those who reached this level would be the middle and upper-level forces that would manage the battlefield and control the Huang family’s experts in the fight against the Blood Spirit Clan.
“Alright, I now know your strength.”
“Xue Hong, tomorrow, I’ll stop the sect masters’ plot. Then, I’ll rescue all the disciples and get them to join us in the fight against the Blood Spirit Clan.”
“As for you guys, just expand your forces in preparation to fight the Blood Spirit Clan!”
Ye Chen also realized that it would be a waste if he killed the sect masters of the major sects tomorrow. He checked the Sword Emperor’s tombstone in the Samsara Graveyard and found that the fluctuations were very strong. He was likely on the verge of activating it.
To be honest, he had high expectations for the Sword Emperor.
He pondered, “The Sword Emperor’s residence is not too far off now that I can travel much faster. I’ll go get his technique first. Tomorrow, I can seal some of the sect masters and control them!”
“Ye Chen, you have to be careful. The Sword Emperor’s technique is extremely taxing on the soul, so it will be difficult for you to seal the sect masters of these sects now,” Xue Qiye said.
“Not necessarily. With the tomb master’s talent, he can probably comprehend the basics of the technique overnight,” Mo Ning said.
“Tomb Master, I’ll guide you there. As long as you find the technique, the Sword Emperor’s tombstone might be activated, in which case you’ll probably obtain his help.”
“Okay!”
Ye Chen looked at Xue Hong and the others. “Go look for Han Yun and discuss the plan to deal with the Huang family with him.!”
“Yes, Junior Ancestor!” Xue Qin cupped his fists and led everyone away.
Ye Chen also turned into a streak of light and eventually arrived at a mountain range.
The endless mountain range and the dense forest made it difficult to navigate.
“Tomb Master, to the southeast, go around the three thousand-meter-tall mountains and enter the next underground cave. Walk ten thousand meters ahead!”
Ye Chen followed Mo Ning’s instructions and quickly entered the underground cave.
When he arrived at the exit, he saw a village filled with birds and flowers.
He took a few steps onto a giant tree, only to discover that this place could only be reached through the underground cave. If he walked on the surface, he might not be able to find it in his entire life.
Within this village, there were actually quite a number of people!
Such a secret realm actually existed in the Kunlun Mountains!
However, these people did not seem to be cultivators, and it seemed like a paradise. There was no war or dispute, and everything felt so comfortable.
“This place is very magical!”
“Yes, Tomb Master! The Sword Emperor found this place by accident. If it wasn’t for Senior Xue Qiye, I wouldn’t have been able to find this place from above-ground either. Tomb Master, there’s a house on a tall hill to the northwest,” Mo Ning pointed out.
“That’s where the Sword Emperor used to live!”
“However, I don’t know if there are any formations outside it, so you have to be careful!”
Ye Chen nodded and soon reached the straw hut, which looked no different from an ordinary straw hut.
However, when he walked forward, an invisible force pushed him away. When he forced himself to move forward again, sparks of crisscrossing appeared to attack him.
Clang! Clang!
Ye Chen gently swung the Stellar Sword. The tip of the sword shot out a rays of light, which then scattered and devoured the incoming sword qi!
Boom!
Inside the Samsara Graveyard, the Sword Emperor’s tombstone started to shake rapidly. Cracks appeared and streaks of pure white sword qi seeped out. Then, an aura that seemed to overlook the world from above spread out.
“Soon, soon!”
“The reaction of the tombstone is getting more and more intense. As long as you get your hands on the technique, the Sword Emperor’s divine soul should come out to help you,” Mo Ning said anxiously.
“This restriction is…”
“Very special!” Ye Chen observed the formless sword qi outside the straw hut. A flash of light appeared in front of his eyes and a blood moon appeared in his eyes as he observed everything around the straw hut and realized that the surrounding formation was arranged according to the Heaven and Earth Thirty-Six and Seventy-Two Constellation.
Moreover, it contained the power of a peak ninth-level Supreme Emperor expert, so it would probably be very difficult to forcefully destroy it.
“Senior Xue, how do we get past this formation?” Ye Chen asked.
Xue Qiye was momentarily silent, before saying, “Use your sword technique to attack the thirty-six points at the same time. Ignore the seventy-two points. His formations usually work like this.”
“Okay!”
Ye Chen took out the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword and the Stellar Sword.
As he waved his hand, his blood energy surged like a violent tide. Boundless power was infused into the Stellar Sword. The sword flickered with a bloody light, and the ancient runes on the sword were covered with a faint luster. Then, strands of sword qi shot out from the sword tip like a spiderweb, which suddenly enveloped the formation, bursting forth with dazzling light.
“Dragonslayer Heaven Sword!” He gripped the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword tightly and unleashed a mighty slash that seemed like it would rend the entire earth.
The boundless strands of sword qi slammed into the thirty-six points!
Crack!
Crack!
After a series of shattering sounds, the formation disappeared.
