Chapter 612: Chapter 281: Bringing the Battle to Their Door

Inside the Infinite Sword Sect.

After the Sect Leader’s succession ceremony concluded, and after slaughtering over a dozen Great Powers from Beixuan Upper Sect, Ning Qi went into seclusion.

Aside from those necessary to stand guard, the presence of Integration Realm Giants from Beixuan Upper Sect brought immense pressure to everyone, prompting the others to follow suit and enter seclusion.

All the Elders first received teachings from the Sword Ancestor and later obtained rule jade fragments from Ning Qi. Many were inspired to progress under such pressure.

As for the eight True Inheritors who accompanied Ning Qi to the Profound Truth Secret Realm, each one was preparing to break into the Void Path Realm.

Considering the heavy losses Beixuan Upper Sect suffered this time, who’s to say when their Integration Realm Ancestor Zhou Tianzi might come knocking?

They might be unable to handle Zhou Tianzi, but they hope to quickly break through to the Void Path Realm in times of sect difficulty to confront other Great Powers of Beixuan Upper Sect.

The whole Infinite Sword Sect was more united than ever, preparing for battle.

......

Meanwhile, the terrifying battle occurring at Infinite Sword Sect spread across the entire Beixuan Domain.

At Feixing Sect, Elder Lu Yixin was personally reporting the matter to the Sect Leader.

The Feixing Sect Leader scrutinized Lu Yixin, who seemed infatuated, and said:

"Elder Lu, you did well not to be influenced by Beixuan Upper Sect, otherwise we might not have been able to avenge you."

Lu Yixin replied, "Fortunately, Lan protected me; otherwise, if I couldn’t resist taking action against Sword Shocking then, my disciples and I really wouldn’t have returned."

"Those Great Powers enticed by Beixuan Upper Sect from the Five Sects, their sects must be very anxious now. Who knows what they’ll choose to do?"

Lu Yixin said, "They absolutely won’t dare to seek Infinite Sword Sect alone; they must wait for Beixuan Upper Sect to act again and play the favorable winds game."

The Feixing Sect Leader smiled, "Favorable winds game? Those five also thought that way initially."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yixin and several accompanying True Inheritors were stunned, reminded of the scene within Infinite Sword Sect where five perished.

Lu Yixin came back to his senses, looked at the Sect Leader, and said: "Ning Qi asks us to assist his Infinite Sword Sect; what does Sect Leader think?"

After a moment of contemplation, the Feixing Sect Leader said:

"If Beixuan Upper Sect’s Integration Realm encompasses early or mid-stage, I could gamble the sect’s future on Ning Qi’s prospects."

"But Zhou Tianzi has been in the late Integration Realm for many years, likely reaching Perfection by now; it’s too risky, perhaps better not."

Lu Yixin and his peers understood the Sect Leader’s choice very well.

The Feixing Sect Leader suddenly gazed at the few True Inheritors behind Lu Yixin.

Each lowered their brows and eyes, yet remnants of shock were left on their faces, suggesting this journey deeply affected them.

Being True Inheritors themselves, they were initially peers with Ning Qi, feeling some jealousy at first.

Now, however, all feelings of jealousy vanished, leaving only endless admiration and traces of undissolvable fear.

"Do not feel disheartened by your peer’s brilliance; throughout history, many such talents have emerged, but how many truly reached the end?"

The Feixing Sect Leader seemed to sigh.

Their spirits lifted a bit, encouraged by the Sect Leader, resolving to cultivate vigorously, even if not matching Ning Qi, to uphold Feixing Sect’s future.

They gazed at the Sect Leader, who looked up at the sky, thoughts unknown, until moments later when they heard him say:

"What a pity, what a sigh, if Ning Qi surpasses this hurdle, he would surely soar high, even we would look up to him."

"Why does talent like Ning Qi or Sword Shocking never appear in my Feixing Sect?"

Several True Inheritors: "..."

They felt deeply hurt inside.

Lu Yixin: "?"

Weren’t you just encouraging younger generations, saying those who shine may not last? Now quickly regretting your sect lacks them?

The same scenario nearly unfolded in every sect attending the Infinite Sword Sect Leader’s succession ceremony, except for the families of the five deceased Great Powers.

The Five Sects were indeed pondering as Lu Yixin suspected.

On one hand, they were full of hatred, resenting that Ning Qi dared to kill their sect’s Great Powers, resenting why Beixuan Upper Sect temporarily lured their men.

On the other hand, seeking revenge was frighteningly daunting.

Five sects naturally communicated with each other, deliberated what to do, and finally came to nothing.

The Infinite Sword Sect, due to Sword Shocking’s emergence and the presence of Immortal Species Ning Qi, was already untouchable by these sects.

However, they understood that Infinite Sword Sect would eventually face calamity.

...

Ning Qi passed through the Sect Protection Array with ease, appearing outside Infinite Sword Sect, unnoticed by anyone.

Looking back at the grand Infinite Sword Sect, Ning Qi’s eyes subtly flickered with divine light.

After much effort laying a foundation in Mountain and Sea Realm, becoming the Peak Master of Five Elements Peak, gathering Top Ten True Inheritance, ascending to Sect Leader, how could he let this foundation easily crumble?

He turned northward, becoming ethereal and elusive, a shape even ordinary Void Path Realm Great Powers struggled to perceive.

Beixuan Upper Sect sits in the northern Beixuan Domain, claiming the most expansive and finest territory, reigning supreme in the north.

With Infinite Sword Sect located in the south, despite his abilities, it would take some time to reach Beixuan Upper Sect.

Ning Qi felt slightly vexed, realizing he must promote Teleportation Arrays within the Mountain and Sea Realm in the future, lest travel time remain too lengthy.

Within the Mountain and Sea Realm, teleportation arrays were nonexistent.

Likely due to the intentional workings of Mountain and Sea Realm Will, though Ning Qi struggled to comprehend the specifics.

Nonetheless, as True Martial Realm Master, Ning Qi could freely open spatial passages between realms, thus capable of installing teleportation arrays now.

True to his words, Ning Qi discreetly found a concealed spot outside Infinite Sword Sect, using Spirit Stones and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to set up a teleportation array, preparing for his return.
