After successfully devouring the sword, the next step was to refine it. Xiao Chen looked inside his body and felt the pure energy emanating from the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo. He was somewhat shocked. This small sword seed actually contained such rich energy. Furthermore, as a swordsman himself, Xiao Chen was able to clearly feel that the energy contained extremely pure sword aura.
As though affected by the Heavenly Sword embryo, Xiao Chen's spiritual sense shone brightly with golden light. At the same time, compared to before, his spiritual sense seemed to have grown bigger.
The size of his spiritual sense had changed a little. However, Xiao Chen's attention was focused on the Heavenly Sword embryo. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, consciously controlling the Heavenly Sword embryo to refine the vast amount of energy within the sword seed.
Refining all the energy within the sword seed was obviously not something that could be done in a short period of time. Xiao Chen was naturally prepared for this.
For the next few days, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in the Hundred Spirits Pool like an old monk in meditation. At the same time, while Xiao Chen was in closed-door cultivation, the outside world was in an uproar.
The seven overlords took action at the same time, launching a large-scale purge of the entire Central Divine Region.
They did not tell the world about the demonic cultivators. However, countless experts from the seven overlords led their disciples to infiltrate the various major forces and families. Once they found any clues related to the demonic cultivators, they would immediately kill them.
Without giving any reason or explanation, the seven overlords immediately began a bloody purge. In just a few short days, dozens of large and small forces and clans in the Central Divine Region were wiped out.
Such a bloody method naturally caused the people of the Heavenly Chen Mainland to panic. However, despite the dissatisfaction of many people, the seven overlords did not stop their actions. The purge continued.
Lu City was a large city within Nine Firmaments Palace's sphere of influence. The city was under the control of two great families. At that moment, within the He Family's mansion in Lu City, Cang Xuan and the other two Peak Lords of Heavenly Sword Peak led a group of elders and attendants of Heavenly Sword Peak to stay there for three days.
In the main hall, Cang Xuan, Cang Long, and Cang Yun sat in the main seats, while all the He clan members were tied up and kneeling before them.
Three days ago, Cang Xuan and the others had entered the He family. After some investigation, they discovered that there was an extremely obscure connection between the He family and the devil cultivators.
Although there was no direct evidence to prove that the He clan was related to demonic cultivators, it was enough to have suspicions. Therefore, the Cang Xuan trio had given the order to capture all the He clan members early in the morning.
"Cangxuan peak master, what are you doing? My He clan has always been loyal to Nine Firmaments Palace." The patriarch of the He clan fell to his knees and cried out in a voice filled with sorrow.
Hearing Patriarch He's words, Cang Xuan said coolly, "Patriarch He, are you loyal to Nine Firmaments Palace or to the demonic cultivators?"
The patriarch of the He clan's expression immediately changed when he heard Cang Xuan say the words' demonic cultivators'. Cang Xuan had already confirmed that the He clan was related to the demonic cultivators.
He had been wondering why the seven overlord factions would carry out such a bloody purge. It was only at this moment that the patriarch of the He clan finally understood. It was because of the demonic cultivators, and his He clan was indeed related to the demonic cultivators. However, only a few of the upper echelon members knew about it, and the majority of the He clan members did not know about it, nor did they participate.
He understood that he was doomed. Now that the matter of the demonic cultivators had been exposed, Nine Firmaments Palace would obviously not let him off. However, the ones that the patriarch of the He clan was most worried about were the younger generation of the He clan. They did not know anything about the demonic cultivators.
Patriarch He looked towards Cang Xuan and begged, "Peak master Cang Xuan, it's all me. It's all me. The He clan members do not know about the demonic cultivators. If you want to kill, kill me. Spare the younger generation of the He clan. They really do not know."
In the face of patriarch He's pleading, as well as the changes in the He clan members' expressions, Cang Xuan guessed that the majority of the He clan members did not know about the demonic cultivators. Only a few of the upper echelon members of the He clan knew about it.
But so what? The matter of the He clan being related to the demonic cultivators had already been confirmed. As such, the entire He clan must be destroyed. The ruler of the Nine Firmaments had given an extremely cruel order, and his only goal was to not leave behind any hidden dangers.
Cang Xuan stood up, looked towards patriarch He, and said calmly, "Some things cannot be changed. In the face of righteousness, I can only apologize to patriarch He. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your He clan."
Patriarch He powerlessly fell to the ground upon hearing Cang Xuan's words. Cang Xuan's words were undoubtedly a death sentence for the entire He clan.
Originally, the He clan was related to the demonic cultivators because the demonic cultivators could provide the He clan with too many cultivation resources. It was also because of the demonic cultivators' help that the He clan could sit on the throne of the two great clans of Lu City.
However, in the end, the demonic cultivators had harmed the He clan.
Cang Long, Cang Yun and Cang Long walked outside. When they passed by the patriarch of the He clan, Cang Xuan opened his mouth slightly and said, "Kill."
It was a simple word, very calm. When the members of the Tian Jian peak heard him, they immediately attacked. In a flash, the entire He clan was covered in blood, and the sound of people crying rose and fell one after another. Even if one passed by the He clan, one could hear the horrible shrieks coming from the He clan.
"Is … Is the He clan finished?"
"Definitely. Three days ago, the leader of the Tian Jian peak personally brought people to the He clan. I don't know what's going on with the seven overlords, but they unexpectedly started such a bloody massacre."
"Indeed, what's going on with the seven overlords? In just a few days, almost a hundred clans and clans have already been destroyed."
The screams of the He clan made everyone in Lu City understand that a great clan had been destroyed. Regarding this, the other great clan in Lu City, the Li clan, was already trembling in fear. The He clan was finished. Cang Xuan would definitely bring people to the Li clan next.
Walking out of the He clan, Cang Xuan led people to the Li clan. Behind him, the He clan, which was once one of the two great clans of Lu City, had completely disappeared from the world. From the patriarch to the servants, no one was spared.
Turning his head to look at the He clan, Cang Xuan sighed softly. He knew that many people in the He clan were innocent, but there was no other way. The patriarch of the He clan had secretly colluded with the demonic cultivators, so the He clan had to be destroyed. The seven overlords did not have the time to identify who was innocent and who was guilty. The best way was naturally to kill them all.
For the sake of the safety of the entire Heavenly Chen Continent, this was something that could not be helped. Clearly, the Patriarch of the He Family had never thought that it was because of his secret relationship with the Demonic Cultivators that the entire He Family would be destroyed in an instant. Furthermore, Nine Firmaments Palace's methods did not leave the He Family with any chance of survival, completely severing the bloodline of the He Family.
