Chapter 627: Ninth Generation, the Scheme of the Sword Master
“The Old Ginseng’s dead?!”
“I can’t believe it. I didn’t expect him to be so trash!”
“Ah—Run! I don’t want to die.”
Everyone from the Palm Sword Cliff was horrified. They scrambled and crawled away in fear. They wished they had an extra pair of legs to run for their lives.
The Old Ginseng was the figure of a Memorial Spirit. His power was the biggest backup they had. Moreover, the Old Ginseng brought them there. He was arrogant, too. Then, he was goners.
‘That’s weak!’
‘Seriously?’
“You cannot escape as my prey. I’m going to hunt!”
Nanan smiled like a demon. She put aside her hoe and a longbow appeared in her hands.
The longbow was made by Li Nianfan for hunting. However, he realized that most of the time, he did not need to hunt by himself. So, he casually tossed it aside. Nanan liked it, so she played with it.
She pulled on the bowstring.
Nanan squatted and activated her powers. Light shone everywhere. A wave of terrifying aura washed over the sky.
Endless Spiritual Qi gathered from all directions. Power of Law also came rushing in. At that moment, the force of the realm lay in that longbow. It seemed like the astonishing power could cause an explosion.
Terrifying power turned to an endless storm before she released the arrow. It was blinding to watch as it overpowered everything!
“Aim, shoot!”
Whoosh—
The arrow slashed through the sky and turned to bright light. It crossed the sky and moved the clouds!
“The arrow’s a Power of Law. She summons the forces of nature. What kind of legendary bow is that?”
“Immortal Item. It’s another legendary Immortal Item!”
“Where did they come from? Why are they so powerful? Perhaps… They work for an Elite?!”
“It must be. They’re most probably students of an Elite. Only students of an Elite can be so powerful!”
Everyone was horrified. Even if the arrow was not directed at them, their hair still stood on ends. Their fear was bone-chilling!
“You cannot kill me! How dare you kill me?!”
“Argh!”
The Seventh Sword Intern screamed tragically. He was pierced through by the arrow. His body exploded into a bloody mist in the air!
“Run, run! These cultivators are cursed!”
The Second Sword Intern and the Sixth Sword Intern knew that their lives were in danger. They did not dare to risk it.
However, Nanan shot the second arrow. The indestructible arrow flew like a rainbow. The Sixth Sword Intern watched helplessly and died!
“Cultivator, spare me! The Palm Sword Cliff can forget about all this!”
The Second Sword Intern was slurring his words out of fear. He shrieked.
However, Nanan pulled the third arrow.
She was like a ring around the sun at that moment—blinding and outstanding.
Whoosh!
The third arrow penetrated all his defenses before anyone could react!
Dragin and Jiang Liu also killed everyone from the Palm Sword Cliff. The intense battle was over in an instant. The Palm Sword Cliff died as a group!
Everyone looked at the three figures in the sky. They instantly knelt and worshipped them.
“The Xiaoyao Sect thanks you for saving our lives. We’re willing to work for you. Order us as you please.”
“The cultivators of the Palm Sword Cliff were bullying us. I’m afraid we would’ve died in their hands if it wasn’t for you guys!”
“Heroes, saviors!”
“Lords, please, let me worship you.”
A lot of people looked sincere. They genuinely thanked them and showed their loyalty.
The others quickly followed. They wanted to work for Nanan and the others.
‘The expert behind these three cultivators must be a super bigshot. He must be an Elite. It’s a huge honor to work for them. This is perhaps my chance to succeed.’
Dragin was not interested at all. She said, “Uncle Holy Emperor, they’re all yours.”
“Alright.”
The Holy Emperor laughed. He walked over and stared at that cultivator who threw him under the bus when the Palm Sword Cliff questioned them. He said coldly, “You sold me out just now. What do you have to say about that?”
That cultivator felt his soul leave his body. He plopped to the ground and begged, “Please, spare me, Holy Emperor. I was only trying to survive!”
“How dare you beg me to spare you? You deserve to die, scum!”
“Don’t dirty your hands, Holy Emperor. Let us kill him!”
“He’s the Sect Master of the Kaishan Sect. We must chase him out of the sect!”
The others moved without orders from the Holy Emperor. They instantly killed him.
He…was dead.
Somebody immediately provided information. He said, “Lords, the Palm Sword Cliff opened up the Yuan Qi secret border to provide Chaos Spiritual Qi. It’s huge news. I’m afraid that they have a big scheme going on!”
Everyone nodded. “Yeah, you have to be careful!”
Jiang Liu looked serious. There was a menacing glint in his eye. “I want to see what the Palm Sword Cliff’s up to!”
They left the Holy Emperor to deal with the rest. Jiang Liu and the others headed toward the Palm Sword Cliff.
The Palm Sword Cliff was among the mountains in the West area. There was a mountain door there. Countless cultivators arrived from all over the world.
“Chaos Spiritual Qi. I cannot believe that it really is Chaos Spiritual Qi.”
“The Palm Sword Cliff did the most to benefit the public.”
“This is the action of a bigshot. They’re good cultivators.”
“I can feel my breakthrough coming. I only need to stay here for a few days.”
“Haha, the Palm Sword Cliff’s truly a legendary sect passed down for generations. They’re so generous.”
The cultivators looked excited.
The cultivators were not born yesterday, so they naturally knew that nothing came without a price. However, the Palm Sword Cliff was offering something too valuable. It would be a waste if they missed out on an opportunity like that.
Those cultivators could cultivate hard for years on end without seeing Chaos Spiritual Qi.
In a situation like that, weak cultivators or weak sects were excluded. After all, the Chaos Spiritual Qi was limited. They did not want to share.
At the Empath Sect.
Qin Zhongshan arrived with the Qin siblings. They picked a nice spot and sat down. They started to cultivate.
Qin Zhongshan carefully sensed it. He had to pout and say, “I thought it’d be something nice. The Chaos Spiritual Qi here’s impure. This is far worse than the expert. Trash.”
Qin Chuyue had to laugh. She said, “Father, you’ve become arrogant. You used to beg for Chaos Spiritual Qi.”
Qin Yun said, “True. But how can you compare this to the expert?”
“We befriended the expert so we could work for the expert. Our taste naturally has a higher standard. After all, we represent the expert.”
Qin Zhongshan continued to say, “Also, we’re not here just to get Chaos Spiritual Qi. The Palm Sword Cliff hurt the woodsman of the expert and stole something. We have to seek justice for the expert!”
“Father, look over there. The cultivators of the Heavenly Palace are here.”
“And the cultivators of the White Cloud Sect.”
“Let’s go greet them. We should look out for one another.”
Many forces in the Area of the Gods arrived. They caused quite a buzz.
“Look over there. The princess of the Luotian Dynasty’s here. Wow, she’s too pretty.”
“That… That’s the Saintess of the Hundred Flower Sect. So regal and holy!”
“I heard that the daughter of the Yun family’s stunning. The rumors aren’t comparable to seeing the real thing. Whoever becomes her cultivation lover will die from happiness. Right?”
“A lot of prodigies are here. This is amazing!”
Some of the bigshots that rarely show up arrived. A lot of them were Immortals.
Of course, the elders were not too greedy for Chaos Spiritual Qi. They were mainly there to protect their students or disciples so that they could improve.
The Sword Master came out from his retreat. He looked upon the Yuan Qi secret border with deep eyes. He was thinking about something.
Next to him was an elder with white robes. His hair was half-white and he had sunken eyes. He was the Big Elder of the Palm Sword Cliff.
The Big Elder was a powerful Realm Cultivator. However, he was anxious and cautious next to the Sword Master.
The Sword Master suddenly said, “Big Elder, you’ve been with the Palm Sword Sect since the first-generation Sword Master. You’re knowledgeable. Do you have any advice for me?”
His words meant a lot of things, but they sounded calm on the surface.
The Big Elder had to jolt. He said fearfully, “Sword Master, you naturally have your own cultivation method. My cultivation knowledge’s too shallow to provide advice.”
The Sword Master suddenly laughed. “Aren’t you curious as to why I hide my identity?”
Sweat instantly appeared on the Big Elder’s forehead. He moved his lips but did not dare to speak.
After a long while, he said with a trembling voice, “You must have your reasons, Sword Master.”
The Sword Master suddenly turned around and stared at the Big Elder. He said sternly, “Are you loyal to your initial Sword Master, or more loyal to me?”
“I—I…” The Big Elder nearly choked on his beating heart. In the end, he said fearfully, “I’m loyal to the Sword Master of the Palm Sword Cliff.”
The Sword Master laughed. He said slowly, “Nine reincarnations provided Wisdom. The previous eight generations died unfairly. I’m the last generation. Do you think I wish to sacrifice myself for him?!”
He had a mean and cruel face. “So what if he’s the Wisdom Elite? He’s already dead! I’m the one who’s alive. He wants to revive through reincarnation? I won’t allow it!”
The Big Elder did not speak. He did not dare to.
“I don’t need to revive him. I’ll surpass him!”
The Sword Master mumbled to himself with arrogance. He took out the Sword of Slaughter. The aura of the Sword of Slaughter was blood red.
“I’ll discover the Power of Elite through the Sword of Slaughter. Once I understand the knowledge passed down by the Elite who reincarnated nine times, I’ll use it to improve my Power of Elite. By then… I’ll own the knowledge of two Elites. I’ll be the Elite of the Chaos!”
The Sword Master smiled and looked at the Big Elder. “Will you help me?”
The fastest way to cultivate the Sword of Slaughter was to kill. He was about to kill all the cultivators that showed up!
It was an all-or-nothing risk because he could feel the Power of Reincarnation by an Elite!
The Big Elder hurriedly said, “I’ll follow your orders, Sword Master!”
Suddenly, a green light beamed from afar!
It was the physical body of the Old Ginseng.
He was a walking Ginseng. His Ginseng roots were like feet, walking on thin air.
A bunch of Black Loaches with jet-black hues followed him. They emitted a destructive aura. One of the Black Loaches was a Realm Cultivator.
The Old Ginseng brought the Loaches over as they were Memorial Spirits.
“Sword Master, bad news! My figure was destroyed. The disciples of the Palm Sword Cliff are all dead!”
The Old Ginseng rushed to say, “But, we’ve got extremely important information! Those cultivators have a huge secret, they have another Memorial Spirit. Also, I can feel that the Memorial Spirit isn’t going through The Unknown. Once I devour it, the Unknown Curse on me will be lifted!”
The Sword Master gently smiled. He said, “Do not worry. You should work with me and deal with this first. I’ll be powerful after this. Helping you will be a piece of cake by then!”
In the Yuan Qi secret border.
Everyone absorbed Chaos Spiritual Qi. Their faces were flushed with joy.
They kept breathing and started to have breakthroughs.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Everyone acted as usual. They took in Chaos Spiritual Qi like they were thirsty.
The Chaos Spiritual Qi was getting thinner. Everyone gave their all to breathe it in.
Suddenly, everyone frowned and exclaimed at the same time.
“What’s going on? Why are my powers frozen?!”
“Me too. I can’t activate my powers. It’s completely stuck.”
“Oh no, it’s Disintegration Dust! Isn’t this thing a myth? I thought it was gone years ago!”
“It’s colorless and odorless. It can blend in with the Chaos Spiritual Qi and temporarily eliminate cultivators’ powers. Does anyone know how to break it?”
“Oh, no, the Chaos Spiritual Qi’s poisonous!”
The Sword Master slowly appeared above everyone. Behind him were three Realm Cultivators, the elders of the Palm Sword Cliff.
There were also a lot of Palm Sword Cliff disciples. They surrounded them like it was an ambush.
Four of the ten Sword Interns were dead. Six Sword Interns were surrounded with swords. They had deadly cold gazes.
The Old Ginseng appeared with the Black Loaches and looked down on everyone.
“Palm Sword Cliff, what are you doing? Are you starting a war with all of us?”
“I warn you, don’t be hasty! Our sect will take revenge!”
The forces threatened him with unhappy faces.
“Ha. Revenge? I’m not scared of revenge when I dare to do this!”
The Sword Master smiled coldly. He sneered.
‘Wisdom’s mine when my plan succeeds. My powers will sky-rocket. Who dares avenge them?’
“Don’t worry, you will all become my stepping stone to success. As a crucial part of my cultivation, your death will be valuable. You can rest in peace!”
“Kill them all!”
“Leave those two little girls to me! Get them!”
The Old Ginseng kept looking at Nanan and Dragin. He could not wait. He immediately ordered the Loaches to attack them!
