Central Cloud Continent, at the waist of Guansheng Mountain, a giant mountain gate stood there.
It was two thousand feet tall, pretty much the same as the peak. On the stone plaque, there were only the words Guanling Sect carved on it!
"It is only the end of the 10th month and the mountain has already frozen. These two years have been weird, each year getting colder than the last. "
"Based on what Master said, the Spiritual Wave has risen, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth is in turmoil, which is why the cold current is rising in the north. I heard that during these few years, the weather of the entire Cloud World will change and there will be calamities everywhere? "
"There is such a thing?"
The ones who spoke were two green-robed kids, their hands pressing on their swords as they looked solemnly at the steps below the mountain.
"Speaking of Master, a few days ago we rushed to Donglin under the orders of the Daoling Palace head. Who knows how he is now? I heard that many people have died there. Did he … "
"What nonsense are you talking about? Master is really skilled and is the head of our sect. Nothing will happen to him! I heard that this time Daoling Vast Habitat sent over a hundred Spirit Realm Cultivators and hundreds of Grade-9 Cultivators. Not to mention Gantian Mountain, even the entire Donglin Cloud Continent wouldn't be difficult. "
"That's true! What a joke, that Gantian Mountain Monster King actually dared to say that he wants to wipe out our Taoist Faction. His arrogance was boundless, and he was seeking his own death! Does he really think that just because he is the ruler of a country, he can go up against our Daoling Vast Habitat? He doesn't know that our Taoist Faction sects can flip our hands and crush his small Gantian Mountain. Actually, Palace Head Wu Xu's personality has been too soft these two years. In my eyes, it is best if we kill Gantian Mountain until blood flows like a river, not leaving a single blade of grass! "
"Naturally, we will wipe out his race!"
"But I also heard that that person's sword path is really strong …"
"No matter how strong his sword is, can he compare to Senior Master who entered the Spirit Realm a few hundred years ago?"
The older kid on the left laughed coldly, following which he asked curiously, "How weird! Today is the opening day of our Guanling Sect, why haven't those few Senior Brothers in charge of welcoming us returned? "
The Sword Holding Kid on the right also didn't understand. His brows furrowed, "Who is that person?"
Both of their gazes were fixed on the clouds in the distance. They saw a figure walking through the air. Around the age of sixteen, he was dressed in a bright golden robe. His face was like jade, and he was handsome to the point that all women would be envious of him.
However, none of these were as eye-catching as the sword in his hand.
Hundreds of thousands of feet away, those threads of Sword Intent had already charged here.
"Chi!"
Suddenly, there was a soft whistle on his cheek. First, it was cold, and then it was hot.
The sword-wielding boy on the left, who had been in a daze, quickly reached out to touch his hand. His hand was covered in blood. Only then did he realize that there was a scar on his face for no reason at all.
Following which, the sizzling sounds continued without end. The surrounding vegetation was sliced into pieces by an extremely sharp and invisible force.
The stone plate behind him was also smashed into pieces. In the end, it could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed with a loud bang.
At the same time, countless wounds appeared on their bodies.
The boy couldn't help but be at a loss. Who was this person? The person was still here and his Sword Intent was already so strong?
In the next moment, he realized that a huge enemy had arrived!
Just as he was about to cast a spell to warn the mountain peak. There was already movement on the mountain peak.
An old voice suddenly rang out in the clouds.
"Who are you? Why did you come to attack my sect for no reason? "
When those words were said, a giant light barrier formed by the spiritual energy of the five directions suddenly spread out.
It covered three hundred thousand feet, covering the entire Guansheng Mountain within.
That person still walked over unhurriedly, Sword Intent surging. Even the Mountain Protecting Formation was unable to stop his footsteps.
It continued to give out a series of popping sounds. That was the Sword Energy clashing with the Mountain Protecting Formation. The spiritual restrictions around were continuously collapsing.
"This place is Guanling Sect?"
Who knows when, but the sky of Guansheng Mountain was covered by dark clouds.
Hundreds and thousands of lightning bolts struck down from the clouds. Lightning snakes danced, green light flashed continuously, causing this region to be as bright as day.
There were also numerous black blades that tore open the sky and flew over.
Where the teen was, there were flames burning. There were also ice blue, green and white lights that lit up and extinguished.
He stood within but was totally fine. His eyes expressionlessly looked at the collapsed mountain gate stone plate.
It was confirmed …
In the last life, he had heard that when Daoling Vast Habitat was at its peak, there were three thousand sects. This Guanling Sect was one of them …
Then, there was no need to say anything more!
A green and white Sword Light suddenly exploded out from within his sleeves. It instantly rose a hundred thousand feet and then turned into thousands of Sword Shadows that swept upwards.
The two Sword Holding Kids were the first to bear the brunt of it.
They could only look on with stunned expressions as the Sword Light sliced apart the Spiritual Restrictions and Formation Talismans from below the stone steps. Everything in front of them was sliced into pieces!
The stone steps were shattering, the talisman light barrier was also collapsing!
Endless, this was a Sword Wave! Sword Flood!
"How dare you!" You don't know that my Guanling Sect is one of the three thousand Taoist Sects? "
The old man on the mountain peak was both shocked and furious. The entire Mountain Protecting Formation spun like a millstone.
More and more Blade Shadows brought with them energy that covered the sky as they fell from the sky.
There were also hundreds of strong cultivators who flew to the waist of the mountain to block the Sword Wave.
However, those millions of Sword Shadows didn't dissipate at all. Instead, the Mountain Protecting Spiritual Formation was still collapsing!
Hundreds of Martial Cultivators, there was even one Grade-9. However, they weren't able to block for even a moment. Blood rained down and flesh and blood scattered.
As long as one came into contact, one would be sliced into pieces by the Sword Light.
It was so overbearing!
There were no holes it couldn't enter, no gaps it couldn't drill. Even a small flaw would cause it to instantly collapse. The Spiritual Formation was like that and so was the person!
One could see many Long Ying Sword Shadows appearing and disappearing behind the teen.
The faces of the two Sword Holding Kids were ashen white like paper. They wanted to retreat but in front of this wave-like Sword Suppression, how could they move their feet?
The old man's voice paused and he finally thought about something. When he spoke again, there was a slight tremor in his voice.
"You are Zong Shou? Gantian Mountain Monster King Zong Shou? "
The teen didn't speak, the 30,000-foot Black Lightning Wings spread out. Following which numerous Purple Lightning mixed with the Lu Family Sky Burning Flame spread out.
The Spiritual Flames burned the sky, causing the broken Spiritual Formation barrier to be unable to recover at all.
The pupils of the two Sword Holding Kids opened wide.
The person in front of them was Zong Shou? The Monster King of Gantian Mountain?
However, why wasn't this person in Gantian Mountain but here instead?
What a strong sword! That's right, this person used his own strength to suppress the Six Geniuses of the world. He was said to be invincible in the Cloud World …
The old man's voice rang out once more, "Ruler, what is the meaning of this? The battle between Daoling Vast Habitat and Gantian Mountain has nothing to do with my Guansheng Sect. If there is any misunderstanding, I can explain! "
Hong!
With a loud explosion, the entire Mountain Protecting Formation finally collapsed. Millions of Sword Shadows were no longer obstructed as they swept up.
The bodies of the two Sword Holding Kids were smashed into pieces right away.
Then, the Sword Wave swept along the stone steps all the way to the peak. All the trees, rocks, buildings were all smashed into pieces by the Sword Energy!
There were also numerous Blood Rain that scattered down.
There were also a few people who were lucky enough to escape from the peak of Guansheng Mountain. However, at most, they flew 10,000 feet before a Sword Light arrived in the air, causing their bodies to shatter as they fell down the mountain.
In just 10 breaths, the entire Guansheng Mountain regained its silence. It was deathly silent.
At this moment, only Zong Shou was left on the peak.
His eyes indifferently scanned the surroundings, and he spread his spiritual awareness far away.
Until he confirmed that there were no more survivors. A full 2,234 people were all dead. Only then did he retract his gaze.
Then, he waved his Sword Light and carved a 2 on the ground.
This was the second sect that he had massacred, but it was just the start.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!
The blood of a million people, he wanted the Taoist Faction to pay the same price! Zong Shou wasn't someone who would defend a lone city and be bullied by others!
A light flashed and sped back. It was the One Origin Soul Sword.
He felt that the aura of the person who tore open space and escaped out of the Cloud World had totally disappeared. Zong Shou scoffed coldly, not bothering to stay here. With a step, he was 1,000 feet away.
The next one was 1,700 kilometers away — Wen Yi Mountain.
Moments later, a few flying boats sped through the air. There were two green-dressed Taoists on each boat, bringing a bunch of kids.
When they stopped at the waist of the mountain, those few Taoists felt that something wasn't right.
They all flew up into the air, only to see that the beautiful celestial-like mountain peak was totally empty.
It was like numerous storms had ravaged it, totally messy. There was also blood that gathered into a fountain and flowed down the mountain.
The few of them exchanged glances with one another, their faces ashen white. Their eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
Who was this? Who wiped out the entire Guanling Sect?
Those kids who came along with the boats all panicked.
In the next moment, heart-wrenching cries rang out from the mountain peak.
※ ※ ※
1,700 miles away, Wenyi Mountain.
This mountain was only 10,000 feet tall and wasn't really exquisite. The reason why it got its name was because the surrounding terrain was like a chessboard. The rocks that were spread out were actually really neat, black and white like chess pieces.
This was why every day, there were many people here, scholars and literati who came and went. As long as it wasn't winter, one could see people all around the mountain.
There was only one place where tourists were not allowed to enter. It was the Wenyi Temple on the mountain peak. Apart from the 15th of every month, they would open their doors to accept believers to burn incense. The rest of the time, the doors would be closed.
Although Wenyi Temple wasn't as big as the shrines and spiritual houses, it was one of the strongest sects within a thousand miles. There were close to a thousand martial cultivators and a hundred spirit masters, their strength wasn't bad.
At this moment, within a pavilion in the temple, two Taoists were sitting opposite each other with a chessboard in between. One of them smiled and didn't speak, the other frowned as he looked at the chessboard in front of him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
