Southern Border.
In a cavern a hundred meters underground somewhere, myriad murals adorn the cave’s walls, depicting ancient sacrificial sites. These figures possess a mysterious, eerie, bloody, primitive, and chaotic aesthetic.
When Han Yi’s sword explodes Li Yuan Yi’s bloody eyeball, the cavern suddenly shakes, causing the sand and stones from the cave walls to shake off.
A strange, roaring sound echoes through the cave.
At that moment.
Four streams of spirit light emerge from the four corners, forming four three-meter-high light columns. As these columns flicker, the shaking of the cave gradually subsides.
It seems as if under the cave, a terrifying existence is being pinned down by these four light columns, like nails.
Four Holy Immortal Array.
The roar ceases; the cave has returned to calm. The flickering light columns gradually disappear, receding into hiding.
Outside of Shu Du.
A few kilometers away from where Han Yi left the cave, three cultivators emerged from the void, landing within the surrounding forest.
A young man leading the group, is dressed in an exquisite purple battle robe, his eyebrows sharp as blades, his eyes shining like stars.
Next to him, there were a middle-aged man and an elder.
The middle-aged man was dressed as a scholar and the elder seemed very ordinary, and at first glance one would think him a steward if he were in the secular world.
The scholarly middle-aged man flicks his hand to reveal a silver formation plate. He reaches into the plate, gently pulling up a phantom blueprint. If Han Yi were there, he would certainly be astonished.
Because the blueprint depicts the fight between him and Li Yuan Yi. However, it only shows the early stages of the fight until the moment Han Yi’s sword pierces the adversary’s weapon and forehead, killing him with a single stroke.
As the shadow of the sword crosses the scene and Li Yuan Yi’s forehead is pierced, the face of the middle-aged scholar dramatically changes. He lets go of the blueprint abruptly, as if he were holding something hot. The blueprint promptly vanishes.
He looks at the nobly-dressed young man with a serious expression, “My lord, it seems like a fallen half-immortal, who lost its representation, has interrupted the Immortal Road.”
“However, the other party just used some kind of medium to project a thought, not a real thought.”
“The medium was destroyed, so the half-immortal could not project its thoughts.”
The elder, after watching the phantom light and shadow, scans the area around them for several miles, before extending his scrutiny further away.
“Hmm, interesting.”
“My lord, the cultivator in the light projection is now four miles away and is heading towards Shu Du.”
“Middle Foundation Establishment, one sword killed a Peak Foundation Establishment—could this Sword Cultivator be from the Chixiao Sword Sect?”
The scholarly middle-aged man and the nobly-dressed young man, upon scanning with their spiritual senses, notice Han Yi four miles away.
“Oh? He has practiced the Disguise Technique?”
“Mr. Liu, this Sword Cultivator seems to have some connection with you.”
The middle-aged scholar joked, the elder also laughed, for he is the creator of the Disguise Technique.
The nobly-dressed young man, however, withdrew his spiritual sense, speaking with an odd look in his eyes,
“You probably don’t know who this Sword Cultivator is.”
“During His Majesty’s two-thousandth birthday, eighteen cultivators received his gracious gifts. This Sword Cultivator was one of them.”
“His name is Han Yi. He is from the Heavenly Will Sect. 1 saw Tian Xin, the old cunning devil, bring him into the Daqian Immortal Palace.”
The faces of the middle-aged scholar and elder abruptly freeze and their laughter ceases immediately.
“Heavenly Will Sect?”
“One of Tian Xin the old devil’s men?”
The nobly-dressed young man, one of Daqian Immortal Country’s youngest Nascent Soul masters, Champion Marquis Liu Shentong, turns and walks back into the void, disappearing from sight.
Behind him, both the scholarly middle-aged man and the elder shake their heads.
“Such a promising seedling. That old devil Tian Xin really does more harm than good.”
“Well, let’s go.”
Elsewhere.
When Han Yi, suppressing his urge to cough out blood and looking pale, arrives at the foot of Shu Du, two hours have passed. These were the two most insecure hours for him.
Encountering a Foundation Building Early Stage Robbing cultivator would spell his end”
No, not even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be necessary, even a Qi Cultivating Cultivator at the seventh level could push him into a deathly predicament.
However, Shu Du is under martial law, the six departments’ cultivators are patrolling around Shu Du and have slain a batch of Robbing cultivators in advance, so other Robbing cultivators have taken shelter and stayed far away from Shu Du.
In this way, despite his severe injuries, Han Yi manages to make it to Shu Du.
After retrieving his Sword Tool, he ran straight towards Shu Du. Only when he reached the foot of Shu Du did he realize that this gate was the twenty-third side gate, and he had deviated seven gates from the side gate he had left earlier.
This time, when he entered Shu Du, he took the ground passage and not the high-up Immortal Ship Channel.
The cultivator on duty, a ninth-level Qi Cultivating cultivator, frowned at Han Yi’s pale face, his forced open eyes and residual blood stains at the corners of his mouth. After Han Yi acknowledged the reminders about the martial law in Shu Du, he was allowed to enter.
As soon as he entered Shu Du, Han Yi found a nearby inn for ordinary Qi Cultivating Cultivators to recuperate. At this point, it was already difficult for his severely injured body to keep going. He had no time or energy to look for Myriad Immortals Inn.
After prepaying two months’ rent, Han Yi quickly placed a Seven-Star Mysterious Origin Formation as soon as he entered the room. Then he tried to take out some pills from his storage ring, but he found that he couldn’t even use his spiritual sense to access his storage bag. He was completely drained..
