Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1425 - 902: Please Come with Us to the Immortal Law Hall!

Yun Xiao retracted his sword and stood still, his clothes fluttering automatically without wind, as if the sword that could shatter mountains and sever rivers was merely wielded casually.

Yang Zhenshan was completely taken aback, overwhelmed with shock.

Meanwhile, Xuanzhen and the others gazed at Yun Xiao in terror.

As for Master Zhou and the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had already been reduced to ashes, scattered in the world.

"What terrifying Sword Qi! Are Foundation Establishment cultivators all this dreadful?"

Beside the Cold Spring, Ma Qiuyan, clutching her chest in fright, commented while looking at the broken Array.

Yun Xiao’s final sword had directly pierced the Taiyin Cold Spring Array. Although it didn’t completely dismantle the Array, it temporarily tore open a gap, which was already quite terrifying.

If Yun Xiao were an enemy, he would have already led his people out of the Array by now.

"It’s not that all Foundation Establishment cultivators are this daunting, but Yun Xiao senior’s Sword Dao cultivation is simply too overwhelming!" Yang Jizhen looked at Yun Xiao’s figure with a full face of reverence.

He was cultivating the Wood Thunder Control Scripture and Wood Thunder Sword technique. Although the Wood Thunder Sword technique wasn’t a traditional Sword Dao cultivation technique, it contained some Sword Dao principles, allowing him to practice Sword Dao.

Unfortunately, his talent in Sword Dao was quite average. He could skillfully wield various Thunder Skills, but in Sword Dao, he barely scratched the surface.

Xuanzhen approached Yun Xiao, looking at the sword in Yun Xiao’s hand.

"Senior’s sword seems extraordinary!"

Yun Xiao ran his two fingers along the sword’s body, "This is the Broken Mountain Sword, a top-grade Magical Treasure."

"Did it come from an Ancient Relic Array?" Yang Zhenshan asked curiously.

"Yes, this sword was originally a Spiritual Artifact but suffered severe damage in the past. A hundred years ago, I had it repaired by someone, but it didn’t recover to the Spiritual Artifact level; it can only be considered a top-grade Magical Treasure."

Yun Xiao did not conceal anything, explaining the origin of the Broken Mountain Sword, "Unfortunately, this sword cannot be used as my Lifebound Magical Treasure."

Yang Zhenshan slightly nodded but didn’t concern himself with this sword.

He possessed the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, a genuine Spiritual Artifact, so naturally, he wouldn’t care about a top-grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword that had degenerated from a Spiritual Artifact.

"Xuanzhen, Bai Xiaoyun, you should tidy up the battlefield first!"

The battle had ended, and it was time for the harvest.

There were only nine enemies in total, and the sword’s power from Yun Xiao was too terrifying; it not only crushed people into dust but also destroyed storage bags, with Magical Treasures being damaged as well.

Under Yun Xiao’s sword, only Xu Mingzhu’s storage bag survived.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned, but Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun spent over two hours tidying up the Array.

Yang Zhenshan returned the Transformative Water to the Spiritual Spring Lake, then waited for them to finish tidying the aftermath before heading back with everyone to White Cloud Immortal City.

Xuanzhen, Yang Jizhen, and others rarely visited White Cloud Immortal City, so they wouldn’t return home so soon. They planned to stay at White Cloud Immortal City for a while.

...

Meanwhile, during the battle’s conclusion, as Yang Zhenshan and the others tidied up the aftermath.

Within the Cloud Wild Alliance, an ancient quiet chamber housed an elder with frost-like silver hair and deep grooves of wrinkles meditating.

Outside the quiet chamber, slight footsteps approached, followed by a voice.

"Ancestor!"

"What is it!" The elder’s eyes slightly closed, his wrinkled lips quivering as he asked.

"Xu Mingzhu’s soul token shattered!" the person outside the door replied.

A soul token is a Magic Artifact that displays a cultivator’s Divine Soul state. Many major factions will refine soul tokens for their upper echelons to monitor their life status in real-time.

The identity token of Ten Thousand Treasures Store has a similar function to the soul token, but the identity token focuses on the changes in breath, not the Divine Soul.

The elder’s eyes appeared like a moon reflected in a cold pond, a luster hidden in their cloudiness, "The soul token shattered!"

He slowly stood up and walked out of the quiet chamber. Outside stood a middle-aged man with a proper appearance.

"Correct, it shattered just now!"

"He left the city?"

"Grandson just inquired. About two hours ago, Xu Mingzhu urgently led his subordinates out of the city. They also invited Master Zhou from the Thousand Array Alliance."

"According to people from the Fiery Flame Hall, Xu Mingzhu had been fixated on a person named Yang Zhenshan recently, suggesting a considerable grudge between them!"

The middle-aged man said.

The elder pondered, "Yang Zhenshan! Previously, Xu Mingzhu also sent someone to meet the old man, seemingly wanting the old man to facilitate something for him at the Immortal Law Hall!"

"He seems to have failed to find an opportunity with the old man and hence exited the city to act personally!"

"Even his own life was compromised!"

"Go investigate who this Yang Zhenshan is!"

This elder was Kuang Fu, one of the five Alliance Elders of Cloud Wild Alliance. Xu Mingzhu had wanted him to use White Cloud Immortal City’s rules to dispose of Yang Zhenshan.

But Kuang Fu was not someone Xu Mingzhu could command casually. In Kuang Fu’s eyes, Xu Mingzhu was merely a tool.

As a tool, it’s best not to stir trouble, instead waiting obediently for the master’s command.

Kuang Fu hadn’t expected Xu Mingzhu to die so meaninglessly.

...

Spring and Summer Square.

Yang Zhenshan rented three residences in Spring and Summer Square as temporary lodgings for Xuanzhen and others.

After arranging everything, no one hurried to go out wandering; instead, they stayed within the residences encircling Yun Xiao for guidance.

Yun Xiao’s performance earlier was too astounding, almost shocking Yang Zhenshan to the core, let alone the others.

Facing such an exceptional Sword Dao cultivator as Yun Xiao, naturally, everyone wanted his guidance.

Yang Zhenshan had also previously consulted Yun Xiao, but since he didn’t cultivate Sword Dao, Yun Xiao’s guidance was somewhat limited.
