Chapter 922: Chapter 489: Eighth Life: Facing the Celestial Mandate, 10,000 Swords Return to One! (Part 2)
"Boom!"
As Han Qingxuan uttered the final word, his voice resounded like rolling thunder across the heavens and earth, causing even the Taixuan Sect Ancestor’s face to involuntarily change.
Although from the perspective of cultivation,
Han Qingxuan was merely at Nirvana Perfection, with quite a gap compared to the Taixuan Sect Ancestor.
Yet, as the Sect Master, he could harness the sect’s foundation for his own use.
With the support of the Sect Protection Array,
Han Qingxuan’s power surged, almost equaling that of the Taixuan Sect Ancestor.
Moreover, this was Cyan Cloud Sect’s territory; if the Taixuan Sect Ancestor dared act recklessly, despite being a Half-step Celestial Destiny Great Power, even he would be in mortal danger!
"Han Qingxuan, your Cyan Cloud Sect’s people unjustly killed my disciples, you must provide an explanation to my Supreme Profound Sect!"
The Taixuan Sect Ancestor shouted angrily, his face flushed with rage.
"Your Supreme Profound Sect disciples openly colluded with the Black Tiger Stronghold, ambushing our Cyan Cloud Sect convoy first. How should this be resolved?"
Unyielding, Han Qingxuan retorted sharply.
"Enough, I have no time to argue with you here. Lu Yuan killed my sect’s prodigy; he must pay with blood!"
"Hand him over, or I will bathe Cyan Cloud Sect in blood!"
The Taixuan Sect Ancestor snorted coldly, his aura suddenly surged, pressing down the crowd so heavily they could barely breathe.
Some disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect, whose cultivation was slightly weaker, even had their legs buckle, falling to the ground with a thud.
"Old fool, try if you dare!"
Han Qingxuan stood his ground, immediately activating the sect’s grand array.
"Boom!"
The light shone brilliantly, the array awakened.
Under the impact of the array power,
The three flying boats rocked violently, like ships in a stormy sea, as if they might be engulfed by tsunamis at any moment.
Some disciples of the Supreme Profound Sect staggered, swaying left and right, nearly falling directly from the flying boats.
In an instant,
The two sides were at daggers drawn, ready to fight at any moment.
"Enough, the guest is here, Qingxuan, do not be rude!"
Just as the Taixuan Sect Ancestor was about to engage in a fierce battle with Han Qingxuan, an aged and deep voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Han Qingxuan turned to see Zhao Family Ancestor slowly rise from his chair, speaking without expression.
"Supreme Elder, what do you mean by this?"
Han Qingxuan raised an eyebrow, questioning solemnly.
"One bears the consequence of one’s own actions; since this matter was caused by Lu Yuan, it should be resolved by him alone."
"Otherwise, how could the tens of thousands of disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect risk their lives because of him alone?"
Zhao Family Ancestor spoke impartially.
"Indeed, it seems Brother Zhao is sensible. Han Qingxuan, aren’t you going to quickly hand over the boy?"
The Taixuan Sect Ancestor, seasoned and discerning, immediately fanned the flames, reprimanding loudly.
However, faced with the Taixuan Sect Ancestor and Zhao Family Ancestor’s collusion, Han Qingxuan became unprecedentedly calm.
"Since Lu Yuan has become the Inner Sect Leader, he is entitled to the same treatment as the sect’s True Inheritor."
"Anyone attempting to harm him is an enemy of Cyan Cloud Sect!"
Han Qingxuan spoke calmly, but everyone could hear in his tone a determination beyond compare.
Lu Yuan, with unrivaled talent, represented the hope for Cyan Cloud Sect’s rise.
If he could not protect his sect’s prodigy under the eyes of all, what face would he have to serve as Sect Master?
"Han Qingxuan, you act willfully, are you treating my words as mere wind passing by?"
Zhao Family Ancestor did not expect the opposition to disregard him completely, suddenly enraged.
"Supreme Elder, you are advanced in years, you should not interfere in this matter; otherwise, when the other Supreme Elders question this later, even the Zhao Family will be unable to protect itself."
Han Qingxuan spoke coldly with an implied warning.
Cyan Cloud Sect has seven Supreme Elders, and although Zhao Family Ancestor holds significant status in the sect, he could not wield absolute control.
Usually, Han Qingxuan might give him some face, considering him a Supreme Elder.
But when faced with matters concerning the sect’s survival, Han Qingxuan could act decisively, making independent decisions.
Then he surveyed the surroundings and suddenly shouted.
"Disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect, where are you? Form the Celestial Spirit Locking Array; slaughter all invading enemies!"
"Disciples obey!"
Just as the words fell.
Luo Xin, along with over a thousand Inner Sect Disciples, took the lead, immediately soaring into the sky, hovering in various positions around the Main Peak, faintly forming a massive array.
"Han Qingxuan, this madman, actually dares to start a war with my Supreme Profound Sect over just one True Disciple!"
The Taixuan Sect Ancestor found the opposing side impervious to reason, and his expression turned extremely grim.
Although he was a Half-step Celestial Destiny Great Power, this was the Cyan Cloud Sect’s home ground, and if a battle truly erupted.
Even if he could forcibly kill Lu Yuan, it would certainly come at an unimaginable cost, perhaps even exhausting his Life Origin, forever losing hope of reaching the Celestial Fate Realm.
But what’s done is done, and now he found himself in a dilemma, not knowing how to end the situation.
Seeing the Taixuan Sect Ancestor caught in a difficult position.
A middle-aged man suddenly stepped out from the Taixuan Sect’s ranks, clasped his fists, kneeled on one knee, and respectfully said.
"Ancestor, if this is a junior’s vendetta, then let us resolve it ourselves."
"What do you intend to do?"
The Taixuan Sect Ancestor’s eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately inquired.
"The enmity of a child’s murder cannot coexist under the same sky. Since the Cyan Cloud Sect insists on sheltering Lu Yuan, then let me face him in a battle, regardless of life and death!"
The middle-aged man’s words were filled with fierce glaring light, and his tone was brimming with a deep-seated killing intent.
Just as this person appeared.
Lu Yuan’s eyes focused, immediately recognizing the middle-aged man’s identity.
This person was none other than Dong Baocai, the murderer of his parents from years ago!
However, there was a discrepancy with the intelligence he had.
Dong Baocai now had a Perfect Soul Palace Cultivation, just a step away from entering the Nirvana Realm.
"Sect Leader, this person and I share a blood feud, I hope you will allow me to fight him!"
Lu Yuan’s heart surged with killing intent, and he voluntarily requested to battle.
"Are you confident?"
Han Qingxuan’s expression shifted slightly, understanding the underlying reason upon seeing Lu Yuan’s murderous aura.
As a Sect Master, with just a word, he could investigate Lu Yuan’s background thoroughly.
But Dong Baocai, with his Perfect Soul Palace Cultivation, wielded power far above Zhao Xu. Even though Lu Yuan’s swordsmanship was unparalleled, he might not be his opponent.
"It’s either him dead, or me!"
Lu Yuan’s voice was deep, but the icy killing intent in his words left even Han Qingxuan moved.
If Lu Yuan’s previous impression was like a treasure sword that had been polished and returned to simplicity.
Then now.
The murderous aura surrounding Lu Yuan had solidified as if it were a peerless Fierce Weapon, yearning to drink the blood of enemies!
"Very well, since you have made your decision, I will personally provide support."
If he had a choice, Han Qingxuan also didn’t want a full-scale war with the Supreme Profound Sect.
Now that Lu Yuan had voluntarily requested, he seized the opportunity, aiding Lu Yuan in fulfilling this wish.
"Go, if you can kill him, you will be our Taixuan Sect’s Supreme Elder in the future."
The Taixuan Sect Ancestor showed a faint smile, personally making a promise.
"Thank you, Ancestor, for your nurture!"
Dong Baocai was secretly delighted and then jumped off the flying boat, landing steadily in the arena.
"I wondered why an Outer Disciple would dare oppose my Dong Family; turns out those two ants back then were your parents."
Dong Baocai glanced at Lu Yuan with a cold smile.
"Back then, I could kill your parents, and today I can kill you. Why don’t you hurry up and meet your death?!"
Facing Dong Baocai’s mockery, Lu Yuan remained silent, steadily walking towards the arena.
However, as he stepped forward, all disciples present with swords at their waists unexpectedly discovered that the longswords in their scabbards began to tremble violently and emitted a continuous sword cry.
"Clang!"
In the end.
The moment Lu Yuan stepped onto the arena.
Within a ten-mile radius, all longswords unsheathed themselves, transforming into countless streams of light, all converging towards Lu Yuan.
"Is this the legendary Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect?"
Watching his own sword unsheathing, Su Zhengyang’s scalp tingled, exclaiming in shock.
It is said that when Sword Dao cultivation reaches a certain profound Realm, one can command ten thousand swords with just one thought, making all treasure swords in the world serve one’s will.
The move Lu Yuan had just exhibited was precisely the legendary Ultimate Skill of Sword Dao!
