Though the Celestial Eye army had left, the Seven Star Sword Realm couldn't be saved.
Only a few thousand cultivators and disciples remained. There were no immortal kings among them, and only seven true immortals had survived.
Under Su Zimo's treatment, Meng Hao had regained consciousness. His internal injuries were gradually recovering, and his cheeks were ruddy.
"Many thanks to the seniors of the Sword World for saving us!"
When Meng Hao and the others woke up, they bowed towards Su Zimo and the others right away.
However, most of the surviving cultivators still hadn't recovered from their shock. They looked around at the corpses around them, their eyes empty and their expressions numb.
This had been a huge blow to them!
Su Zimo looked at Meng Hao. "What happened? How did the Celestial Eye Tribe get involved?"
The Cold-Eyed King had mentioned it before, but he hadn't gone into detail. No one in the Sword World knew the cause of this calamity.
Meng Hao fell silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Senior Brother Li Xuan was pursued by a Sky Eye race True Spirit in the Fiendish Battlefield of the Celestial Tribute world. Senior Brother Li Xuan was forced to counterattack and blinded the Sky Eye of the Sky Eye race True Spirit."
Normally speaking, after cultivating to the True Immortal Realm, even if one's body was shattered, one would be able to repair it with supreme magic power, let alone blinding one's eye.
However, the eye was different.
It was the most powerful part of the clan, where many combat arts converged. Once damaged, it was very difficult to recover.
"Hmph!"
Gongsun Yu snorted. "He failed to kill someone and even blinded his eye. He can only blame himself for being inferior! If it were me, I would've blinded his eye and taken his life! "
Meng Hao glanced at Gongsun Yu and opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated. In the end, he only sighed softly.
As a true immortal of the Sword World, Gongsun Yu naturally had the confidence to do so.
Senior brother Li Xuan, on the other hand, was only a true immortal of the Seven Star Sword World. How would he dare offend a Celestial Eye? He'd blinded the true immortal's eye out of helplessness.
"The Fiendish Demon Battlefield is a battle between true spirits of the same level. You can't blame others if you lose your life, let alone get injured."
"Could it be that just because a Sky Eye True Spirit of the Sky Eye Race was blinded, the Sky Eye World led an army to slaughter the living beings of this world?"
Meng Hao said, "That Celestial Eye True Spirit is the youngest son of the Cold Eye Monarch."
"No wonder."
Yu Lan and the others looked at each other and murmured softly.
Meng Hao continued, "Senior Brother Li Xuan knew that he had caused a huge disaster. He immediately returned to the Seven Star Sword World and reported this matter to Master."
"At the same time, the letter from the Cold Eye King was also sent to Master, asking him to hand over Senior Brother Li Xuan."
The master Meng Hao was referring to was the Seven Star Sword Realm's master, the Southern Valley King.
"Master knew that Senior Brother Li Xuan was not to be blamed for this. However, Master also knew that the Cold Eye King would not let this matter rest. Thus, he arranged for Senior Brother Li Xuan to secretly escape and then send a message to the other large realms to ask for help."
Lu Yun, Yu Lan, and the others looked at each other and nodded.
Wang Xiu of the Southern Valley lived up to his name as a Sword Immortal, and he was indeed the Lord of a Realm. He tried his best to protect his disciples instead of betraying them.
If they were in Wang Xiu's shoes, they wouldn't be able to think of a better solution.
Meng Hao paused here, seeming to think of something. His body trembled and he gasped for breath, as if he was about to suffocate.
Su Zimo softly chanted a few Buddhist mantras, calming Meng Hao's terrified heart.
Meng Hao took a deep breath and continued, "Who would've thought that the Cold Eye King would be here long ago and seal off the Seven Star Sword World? Not only did Senior Brother Li Xuan die, but Master's message also didn't get out.
"This angered the Cold Eye King. He sealed off the Seven Star Sword World and wants to kill half of its inhabitants as punishment..."
At this point, Meng Hao could no longer continue.
The remaining sword cultivators of the Seven Star Sword World had tears in their eyes as they silently shed tears.
Lu Yun and the others sighed softly with complicated expressions.
The Southern Valley King wouldn't even hand over a disciple, let alone kill half of the Seven Star Sword World's inhabitants.
Cultivators of the Seven Star Sword World would rather break than bend. They would never resign themselves to death!
The Southern Valley King would definitely lead the sword cultivators under his command and fight to the death!
Even if there were only a few thousand people left, Meng Hao and the others still wouldn't give in. They used their last bit of strength to fight the Celestial Eye Clan!
In the eyes of the Cold Eye King, the inhabitants of a lowly realm like the Seven Star Sword World were ants. How dare they lie to him and resist?
In his fury, he ordered the slaughter of an entire realm!
Even if they destroyed an entire realm and slaughtered hundreds of millions of inhabitants, it was just like stepping on a few ants in the eyes of the Cold Eye King and the others. They didn't care at all.
Yu Lan sighed softly. "The Southern Valley King is known for his chivalry and kindness. Who would've thought that he would encounter such a calamity."
Lu Yun said coldly, "The Cold Eye King is too cruel. He slaughtered an entire realm just because his son's skills were inferior and his Celestial Eye was blinded! “
Bi Tianxing said, "The Cold Eye King's actions are also sending a strong signal to the other realms, making them fear the Celestial Eye World and not dare to provoke them."
Yu Lan said, "As far as I know, there's a true spirit in the Celestial Eye World who was born with the Yin-Yang Eye and has comprehended a supreme combat art. He's terrifyingly strong and probably ranks in the top five among all the true spirits of the Upper World!"
"The Cold Eye King has already guessed that we're heading to the Celestial Tribute World. If we meet the Celestial Eye Clan there, there'll be trouble."
Lu Yun said solemnly, "There's more than one true spirit in the Celestial Eye World who has comprehended a supreme combat art in this generation."
Bi Tianxing said, "The Celestial Eye Clan's Celestial Eye allows them to comprehend combat arts much better than other races. In every generation, the Celestial Eye World will give birth to at least one true spirit who has comprehended a supreme combat art."
"What do you mean? Are you going to return home now?"
Feng Xu frowned. "We're already here. There's less than three days left before we reach the Celestial Tribute World."
Lu Yun, Yu Lan, and Bi Tianxing fell silent, somewhat hesitant.
Feng Xu continued, "Moreover, we're heading to the Celestial Tribute World for Great White Arcane Gold. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll meet again?"
Yu Lan said, "Fighting is forbidden in the Celestial Tribute World, so there's nothing to worry about. However, if we want to trade for Great White Arcane Gold, Xun Zhen and the others must enter the Fiend Battlefield … "
Yu Lan looked worriedly at Lin Xunzhen, Wang Dong, and the others.
Lin Xunzhen said faintly, "Don't worry, master. If we run into any danger in the Fiend Battlefield, we'll leave immediately."
"That's right. With the Celestial Tribute Medallion, we can leave at any time. There won't be any danger," Wang Dong added.
Yu Lan thought for a moment before nodding. "Very well. Since we've come this far, we should take a look at the Celestial Tribute World."
"It'd be best if we can trade for Great White Arcane Gold, but if not, there's no need to force it."
