The middle-aged man sitting opposite Lin Gang was the Sect Leader of the Sky Sword Sect, Li Ke.
In the years since the Blood Blade Valley came to Wuzhou, Lin Gang had tried his best to build a good relationship with the Sky Sword Sect. Hence, the relationship between the two sects was very good. Lin Gang looked at Li Ke and said.
"Sect Leader Li, have you considered my suggestion?"
Lin Gang had invited Li Ke to attack the Sword Sect together. Returning to the Sword Sect and destroying the Sword Sect had always been Lin Gang's goal. Similarly, He Ying had been waiting for this opportunity.
However, after hearing Lin Gang's words, Li Ke was silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, "Valley Master Lin, the Sword Sect is no longer the same as before. In my opinion, we should think twice about attacking the Sword Sect."
The fact that the Sword Sect had forced the Black Emperor Sect to retreat was no secret in the Great Thousand World. Furthermore, many people already knew that the Sword Sect had three End Realm experts and six Dao Realm experts. Naturally, Li Ke also knew about this.
Even the Black Emperor Sect had retreated. Hence, to be honest, Li Ke was a little conservative about attacking the Sword Sect. After all, the Sky Sword Sect was not willing to fight the Sword Sect until both sides suffered losses. Furthermore, the Sky Sword Sect's strength was not even comparable to the Sword Sect. Only by joining forces with the Blood Blade Valley would they have a chance of fighting the Sword Sect.
Because of this, Li Ke was not very enthusiastic about attacking the Sword Sect. This was because there were too many dangerous and unstable factors.
Hearing Li Ke's words, a cold light flashed in Lin Gang's eyes. However, he did not say anything. After all, Li Ke was the Sect Leader of the Sky Sword Sect. Lin Gang could not influence his decision.
Furthermore, what made Lin Gang even more depressed was that the Sword Sect had increased its strength by so much in such a short period of time. This made Lin Gang feel even more despair.
It was impossible to attack the Sword Sect for the time being, but Lin Gang had not given up. He was constantly planning how to deal with the Sword Sect.
While the Bloody Blade Valley was planning to deal with the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect had been developing better and better over the years that Xiao Chen had been in seclusion. Moreover, Zhou Song, Wu Huan, and even Fourth Senior Sister Xiao Xiao had roped in many experts and genius disciples for the Sword Sect. This allowed the strength of the Sword Sect to reach a new level in just a few years.
At this moment, the Sword Sect's foundation as one of the top ten Ling Tian Sects was fully demonstrated.
Although it had declined, as the Sword Sect showed signs of rising again, some experts were still willing to join the Sword Sect, especially those sword cultivators. After all, the Sword Sect used to be a sacred place among the sword cultivators in the world.
Ten years had passed since Xiao Chen had gone into seclusion, and the Sword Sect had gained another End Realm expert called Lin Qing.
Lin Qing had joined the Sword Sect and even became an elder of the Sword Sect. However, when the Sword Sect fell from its pedestal, Lin Qing was injured and disappeared. After that, he became a wandering cultivator.
At that time, following the disappearance of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign, the entire Sword Sect could be said to have fallen apart. Many experts left one after another. After all, in their eyes, the Sword Sect without the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign was no longer the Sword Sect in their hearts.
Lin Qing was one of the people who left. However, Lin Qing was still loyal. At least he had fought for the Sword Sect and almost died.
Originally, he didn't have any plans to return to the Sword Sect. However, with the appearance of Xiao Chen, Lin Qing returned.
Like Cang Xing, Lin Qing also worshipped the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign. Since Xiao Chen had obtained the legacy of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign, Lin Qing believed that Xiao Chen was the sect leader of the Sword Sect. At the same time, because Xiao Chen had led the Sword Sect to force the Black Emperor Sect to retreat, Lin Qing also recognized Xiao Chen's ability.
He was willing to believe that the Sword Sect would rise again under the leadership of Xiao Chen. Therefore, Lin Qing chose to return and join the Sword Sect once more. After so many years, Lin Qing's cultivation had also broken through from the Dao Realm to the current End Realm.
At this moment, in Cang Xing's cave, Lin Qing and Cang Xing were sitting together, drinking and chatting. It had been many years since they joined the Sword Sect. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen had been in seclusion all these years, so Lin Qing hadn't seen Xiao Chen yet.
"Brother Cang Xing, when will the sect leader come out of seclusion?" Lin Qing asked after drinking a mouthful of wine.
In response to Lin Qing's question, Cang Xing smiled and said, "Soon. The sect leader has been in seclusion for ten years. His cultivation should have broken through to the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Realm."
After ten years of seclusion, Cang Xing reckoned that Xiao Chen was about to come out of seclusion.
Lin Qing nodded slightly when he heard Cang Xing's words. Then, he sighed and said, "Back when the Sword Sovereign was still alive, the Sword Sect was so glorious. Now, it has fallen to such a state."
"Brother Lin Qing, it's true that the Sword Sovereign has left. However, I believe that under the sect leader's leadership, the Sword Sect will rise again and become one of the top ten sects," Cang Xing said confidently when he heard Lin Qing's words.
Xiao Chen was the successor chosen by the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign. As such, Cang Xing would unconditionally support and trust Xiao Chen. Moreover, after Xiao Chen became the sect leader, he had done a series of things that made Cang Xing believe that the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign had chosen the right person.
Lin Qing nodded slightly when he heard Cang Xing's words. "That's right. Since he is the person chosen by the Sword Sovereign, I believe that he will be able to lead the Sword Sect to rise again."
"Haha, Brother Lin Qing, speaking of which, you haven't seen the sect leader yet. However, I think that the sect leader will be happy to see you." Cang Xing laughed and said.
Xiao Chen was naturally happy to see Lin Qing. There was no doubt about that. After all, Lin Qing was an End Realm expert. For him to join the Sword Sect now was like sending charcoal in the snow for the Sword Sect.
Moreover, it wasn't just Lin Qing. Even two Dao Realm experts joined the Sword Sect these few years.
With that, the strength of the Sword Sect's upper echelon was much stronger than when they fought the Black Emperor Sect ten years ago.
There were four End Realm experts and eight Sword Head level Dao Realm experts. With such strength, they could pretty much charge into the top powers.
Not only the upper echelon, but the elders, deacons, and various disciples had also become much stronger. Not only in quantity, but also in quality.
When Xiao Chen came out of seclusion and saw this scene, even Xiao Chen himself would be shocked.
The current Swords Gate had changed from its previous state of decline. It had begun to flourish like the rising sun, and its strength was constantly increasing. Cang Xing had always been aware of this, and he was extremely gratified in his heart.
