Bing Ling had personally used Lu Xuan's body to display the [Phoenix Soaring the Ninth Heaven Sword Art], which gave Lu Xuan an extremely precious insight. It could be said that Bing Ling's display this time was equivalent to thousands of times of Lu Xuan's own training. If he could digest this insight, Lu Xuan's understanding of the Sword Dao would advance by leaps and bounds.
Looking at Lu Xuan sitting on the ground without any distractions, Zhang Sanyu and Yang Yi looked at each other.
"He is indeed a rare genius. Just a casual battle and he is able to gain insight. No wonder he has such achievements at such a young age." Zhang Sanyu sighed.
Yang Yi faintly smiled and said: "You didn't see last year's Inner Sect Grand Competition. In the short span of a day, Lu Xuan directly rose from the 8th tier of Body Refinement to the 10th tier of Body Refinement. That rate of improvement is truly terrifying."
"Since Lu Xuan has gained insight, let's not disturb him. In any case, all the Nine Star Sword School's warriors have been beheaded. No one here can threaten us." Zhang Sanyu nodded and then turned to the warriors behind him and said, "Instructor Yang and I will protect Lu Xuan. You guys deal with these corpses. Take their storage rings and all the valuable things. We have won this battle!"
"Yes!" The warriors of Wind Sword School answered loudly. They were very excited. Who would have thought that when they were ready to die, Lu Xuan would be able to turn the tide at the critical moment and kill so many experts by himself? If they had not seen it with their own eyes, perhaps no one would have believed it. After all, it was too incredible.
Looking at the warriors dealing with the corpses of the Nine Star Sword School's warriors, Zhang Sanyu turned to Yang Yi and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Yang Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "If my guess is correct, I am afraid that the truth is as Lu Xuan said. The one who betrayed us is Xie Zhixiu. Only he has the motive and opportunity to do so."
"Yes!" Zhang Sanyu's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, "It seems that we have pushed him too far. He actually wants to kill all of us. He has already lost his mind. These people are the pillars and elites of Wind Sword School. In order to protect his position as Sovereign, he would rather destroy us."
Yang Yi sighed softly, "How could I not know? Unfortunately, our strength is not enough. For the time being, we do not have the strength to overthrow Xie Zhixiu."
Zhang Sanyu was also silent. They clearly didn't like Xie Zhixiu, but they still allowed him to be the sect leader. It was because of his strength. Xie Zhixiu was at the peak of the Spirit Refinement realm. If he was forced into a corner, no one would be his match.
"Three years. Three years later, it will be the time to change the Sovereign. Do you have the confidence to go against Xie Zhixiu?" Zhang Sanyu asked Yang Yi. Only Yang Yi had the qualifications and strength to take over the Sovereign's position.
Instructor Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I will try my best. We cannot let him continue to control the Sovereign's position. Otherwise, Wind Sword School will be destroyed sooner or later. I am afraid that Xie Zhixiu will breakthrough to the Origin Realm within these three years. If that happens, we will have no chance of winning."
Zhang Sanyu had an idea and said, "Actually, it is not that there is no other way. At least we have a new helper now."
"You mean …. Lu Xuan?"
"That's right. Lu Xuan's strength is not as simple as it looks. I believe that with Lu Xuan's feelings for Wind Sword School, he will not be willing to see Wind Sword School being controlled by Xie Zhixiu. Furthermore, I can see that he respects you very much. If Lu Xuan's strength can increase, we can ask for his help. We might not even need three years to overthrow Xie Zhixiu!"
Instructor Yang nodded lightly. Indeed, if Lu Xuan was willing to help, he might not even need three years to surpass Xie Zhixiu. Since Lu Xuan entered the sect, it had only been one and a half years. He had already progressed from a kid who was at the fourth level of the body refinement realm to the fourth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Then in three years, what level could Lu Xuan reach? Fourth level of the Origin Realm?
… …
The time that Lu Xuan took to comprehend had far exceeded everyone's expectations. An entire night had passed and the sky was already turning bright. The corpses of the Nine Star Sword Sect's martial artists had already been disposed of. All the spoils of war that were collected from the corpses were gathered on Yang Yi. Yang Yi didn't make a decision on his own, because these were all Lu Xuan's spoils of war. It should be given to Lu Xuan.
With regards to Yang Yi's method, no one raised any objections. Because the strength that Lu Xuan displayed yesterday had completely conquered them. Although they didn't know why Lu Xuan suddenly displayed a strength that was completely out of his realm, but it was a fact that Lu Xuan had killed all the Nine Star Sword Sect's martial artists and saved everyone. It could be said that from this moment onwards, Lu Xuan's position in the hearts of the present martial artists was already comparable to Zhang Sanyu and Yang Yi, or even higher. After all, Zhang Sanyu and the others weren't able to kill Feng Kuang and the others.
This rise in status should not be underestimated. The martial artists who were qualified to participate in this battle were all Elders of the Wind Sword School who were at least in the Mid Spirit Refinement Realm. It could be said that Lu Xuan had conquered more than half of the Wind Sword School. Although he was no longer in the Wind Sword School, in the future, in the Wind Sword School, no one would dare to bully Lin Xinyi, Zhang Dongshuang and the others. They all knew the relationship between Lu Xuan and the two of them.
On the desolate cliff of the Well Mountain, everyone from the Wind Sword School was sitting there, waiting for Lu Xuan to wake up. No one showed any impatience.
The sun gradually rose, and soon it was noon. Lu Xuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly burst out a strong wave of Yuan Power. The surrounding Yuan Power swept towards Lu Xuan and poured into Lu Xuan's body without any reservation.
Everyone was awakened by this scene. Zhang Sanyu and Instructor Yang looked at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"This kid, is he going to break through again?" Zhang Sanyu couldn't help but say. They were no stranger to the situation now, it was the sign of a breakthrough.
Yang Yi's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm used to it."
The realm that was extremely difficult for ordinary people to break through was a common thing for Lu Xuan. He would never forget that when they left the Mysterious Ice Pavilion, Lu Xuan had just broken through to the Fourth Spirit Refinement Realm. In less than half a month, Lu Xuan was actually going to break through to the Fifth Spirit Refinement Realm.
Yang Yi sighed in his heart. He had finally seen a real genius. This kind of breakthrough speed was unbearable for them!
Lu Xuan didn't expect that he would meet the conditions to break through to the Fifth Spirit Refinement Realm so quickly. Although it was unexpected, it was actually reasonable. Ever since his meridians were cleared by the Sword Crystal, the speed of cultivation was never a problem for Lu Xuan. What he needed to do was to constantly absorb Yuan Power and comprehend the realm.
He had fought a battle of life and death with Elder He, and that battle had benefited him greatly. This time, when the ice spirit controlled his body to fight against Feng Kuang and the other two at the ninth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, it had given Lu Xuan a huge gift. Comprehension was something that came naturally. Lu Xuan had wanted to use that battle to make a breakthrough from sword will to swordsmanship. However, swordsmanship was not that easy to comprehend, so he was unable to make a breakthrough to swordsmanship. Instead, he made a breakthrough in his realm.
When Lu Xuan condensed the Wutu Divine Rune, although it was a body-refining technique, it had a great effect on the Spirit Refinement Realm. The process of extracting the Earth Yuan Power from iron rocks and condensing the Earth Essence was actually also a form of cultivation.
Since he realized that he couldn't comprehend Sword Principle for the time being, Lu Xuan didn't want to waste his energy. Whether it was Sword Intent or Sword Principle, they both required opportunities. Therefore, he put all his attention on breaking through to the next realm.
… …
Wind Sword School's encampment, in Xie Zhixiu's tent.
Xie Zhixiu hadn't rested since last night. He had been sitting in the tent the whole time, with a cup of tea placed on the table. It had been cold for god knows how many times. Deacons kept replacing the hot tea for him, but Xie Zhixiu still hadn't taken a sip. He was waiting for news.
From anticipation, to excitement, to doubt, to apprehension, this was Xie Zhixiu's state of mind since last night.
When Lu Xuan left with Zhang Sanyu and the others, Xie Zhixiu was naturally looking forward to it. He knew that the Nine Star Sword School had set up an inescapable net, and Lu Xuan and the others would definitely not return.
When there was still no news in the middle of the night, Xie Zhixiu began to get excited, because no news was the best news. Since everyone was dead, there would naturally be no news. Of course, Xie Zhixiu guessed right. Everyone was dead, but it wasn't the people of the Wind Sword School who died.
However, there was still no news until dawn. Xie Zhixiu was a little puzzled. If the Nine Star Sword School had won, then with Feng Kuang's character, he would have already come looking for them. However, there was no news from the Nine Star Sword School, and there was no news from the Wind Sword School. What was going on?
Xie Zhixiu finally felt a little uneasy. He stood up from his chair and paced back and forth. He couldn't wait to personally go out and investigate. However, he knew that this wouldn't do. Not to mention the agreement between him and the Nine Star Sword School, the Sect Masters of both sides were not allowed to participate in the battle, and he was also required to protect the encampment. If he went out and encountered Zhang Sanyu and the others, should he save them or not?
Just when Xie Zhixiu was in a dilemma, a clamor came from outside the tent.
Xie Zhixiu's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down. Finally, there was news. He wondered if it was the people from the Nine Star Sword School, or the survivors of the Wind Sword School?
"Lord Sect Master, I've let you down." Zhang Sanyu revealed a smile and said while staring at Xie Zhixiu with an unfriendly expression.
Xie Zhixiu looked at the crowd in front of him in a daze. His eyes swept past each and every one of the cultivators. Zhang Sanyu, Yang Yi, Lu Xuan, Instructor Ma, Instructor Guo …
He knew all of them, and he clearly knew that these people had gone out to battle with Zhang Sanyu and the others. But why were they still alive?
That's right, all of them were still alive. Not a single one of them died. This made Xie Zhixiu feel incredulous. Could it be that they didn't encounter the people from the Nine Star Sword School and didn't fight with them? Otherwise, how could none of them have died?
