Long Qing and the others had all chosen to enter into closed door cultivation. Actually, they knew that their cultivations were too low with Xiao Chen's current status.
After all, this wasn't the Eight Desolates World. Moreover, Xiao Chen was the sect master of the Sword Sect. Thus, Long Qing and the others were unable to help Xiao Chen with their current cultivations.
Thus, instead of following Xiao Chen for no reason, it was better for them to raise their cultivations as soon as possible. On the other hand, Xiao Chen naturally didn't hold back at all for Long Qing and the others. The cultivation resources in the Sword Sect's treasury were completely at their disposal.
Xiao Chen wasn't worried that they would neglect their foundations in their haste to break through with such a huge amount of cultivation resources. After all, even though they could improve very quickly in a short period of time, he believed that Long Qing and the others would absolutely not do that. That was because they knew very well that such improvements were only temporary. If they really disregarded their foundations and forcefully broke through, it would probably be too late for regrets in the future.
Xiao Chen didn't intend to interfere too much with their cultivation.
With Cang Xing, Zhao Yue, and Li Sui, Xiao Chen's group of four secretly hurried to the Azure Bamboo Sect.
Cang Xing and the others were very puzzled by Xiao Chen's personal visit to the Azure Bamboo Sect in the beginning. However, the three of them quickly reacted when Xiao Chen spoke of his intentions.
Xiao Chen was certain that the Azure Bamboo Sect had definitely secretly sided with the Bloodblade Valley. In that way, the experts of the Bloodblade Valley would definitely appear when the Sword Sect attacked the Azure Bamboo Sect. Xiao Chen was going to meet the Bloodblade Valley.
Since he was the sect master of the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't allow another first-rate organization to exist in the province that could rival the Sword Sect.
After all, ever since the Sword Sect had been established, the province had always been under the control of the Sword Sect. It was only in the past few years that the Bloodblade Valley had taken advantage of the decline of the Sword Sect and vaguely showed signs of being on par with the Sword Sect.
This was something that Xiao Chen wouldn't allow. Even if he couldn't destroy the Bloodblade Valley, he would at least drive it out of the province. There could only be one overlord in the province, and that was the Sword Sect.
It could be said that after hearing about Cang Xing's plan, Xiao Chen had perfected it. According to Cang Xing, apart from capturing He Ying and stabilizing the internal situation, the plan this time was to eliminate a group of subordinate forces that had already become disloyal.
However, Xiao Chen's goal clearly wasn't limited to this. In truth, from the moment the sword order was issued, Xiao Chen's goal wasn't limited to eliminating the subordinate forces that had already become disloyal.
Xiao Chen's true goal was actually the Bloodblade Valley. He wanted to use this opportunity to drive the Bloodblade Valley out of the province in one fell swoop, or directly destroy it.
For this reason, Xiao Chen had specially discussed it with Nangong Guan and the others. Nangong Guan, Zhou Song, and Wu Huan had already left the Sword Sect and told the outside world that they had returned to their respective sects. However, the truth was only known to Xiao Chen and them. The only one who remained in the Sword Sect was Xiao Chen's Fourth Senior Sister, Xiao Xiao.
Cang Xing wasn't stupid when he heard that Xiao Chen wanted to meet the experts of the Bloodblade Valley. He quickly guessed Xiao Chen's intentions. For a moment, Cang Xing's attitude towards Xiao Chen changed slightly.
If Cang Xing had previously submitted to Xiao Chen purely because of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign, then now, at least there was a trace of Xiao Chen's ability that Cang Xing couldn't help but admire.
This was because even Cang Xing had never thought of making a move against the Bloodblade Valley at this time. This wasn't to say that the Sword Sect wasn't a match for the Bloodblade Valley, but because the Sword Sect's internal structure hadn't completely stabilized yet. If they made a move against the Bloodblade Valley now, it wouldn't be safe.
Cang Xing wanted stability, but Xiao Chen wasn't like that. Since he had used the opportunity of capturing He Ying to divert attention, why not do it more straightforwardly?
Furthermore, Xiao Chen had absolute confidence in destroying the Bloodblade Valley. After all, the Sword Sect, Family Nangong, and Sky Jue Sect were three first-rate factions. How could they not deal with a mere Bloodblade Valley if they joined forces?
Most importantly, if Xiao Chen could use this opportunity to take down the Bloodblade Valley in one fell swoop, Xiao Chen's prestige in the Sword Sect would definitely increase greatly. This was also what Xiao Chen valued the most.
It could be said that making a move against the Bloodblade Valley wasn't a rash move on Xiao Chen's part, nor was it a desire for grandiose success. It was a decision he had made after careful consideration and absolute confidence.
The four of them secretly hurried towards the Green Bamboo Sect. At the same time, within the great hall of the Green Bamboo Sect, the sect leader of the Green Bamboo Sect stood respectfully in the middle of the great hall. In front of him, on the seat that originally belonged to him, sat a white-haired, skinny, and slightly hunchbacked old man.
He appeared like an old man with one foot in the grave. However, in front of this old man, the Green Bamboo Sect's head did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. He lowered his head and respectfully said those words.
"Vice sect master, I've already received news that the people from the Sword Sect are on their way to the Azure Bamboo Sect."
"Oh? Who's leading them? The Four Sword Heads or the Cang Xing? "The old man asked with a hoarse voice.
The Azure Bamboo Sect master still replied respectfully to the old man's question. "Neither. It's just that the three elders are leading them."
"Three elders? Haha, it seems like the little kid sect master of the Sword Sect didn't notice at all. "The old man laughed.
Since the Sword Sect only sent three elders to lead them, it was obvious that the upper echelons of the Sword Sect didn't guess that the Azure Bamboo Sect had secretly sided with the Bloodblade Valley. Otherwise, how could Gao Cheng of the Sword Sect only send three elders to lead them?
One had to know that three elders were enough to destroy the Azure Bamboo Sect, but it wasn't enough to go against the Bloodblade Valley.
One had to know that the Valley Master of the Bloodblade Valley had the same End Realm cultivation as Cang Xing, and the two Vice Valley Masters of the Bloodblade Valley had the same Dao Realm cultivation as Yang Song and the other three Sword Heads.
Therefore, it was impossible for the three elders to deal with the Bloodblade Valley. Furthermore, the Bloodblade Valley had won a few experts to join them, and their strength had increased by thirty percent.
Hearing the old man's words, the Azure Bamboo Sect master nodded respectfully. Seeing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can leave. Retreat according to the plan. I'll stay behind to guard."
The old man's name was Ku Rong, and he was one of the two Vice Valley Masters of the Bloodblade Valley. His cultivation had also reached the Dao Realm, and he was extremely strong. This time, he had specially rushed from the Bloodblade Valley to the Azure Bamboo Sect to help them retreat.
Hearing Ku Rong's words, the Azure Bamboo Sect master naturally left the hall respectfully. Following which, Ku Rong's hoarse voice sounded out in the hall, as if he was talking to himself.
"Little kid sect master of the Sword Sect, let me give you a greeting gift this time."
