A flying ship sailed through the sea of clouds toward the red sun.
True Lord Luo Gu stood at the bow of the ship and gazed at the blazing sun in the distant sky with his hands behind his back.
Not only did he want to annihilate the Nether Sect, but he also wanted to cut off the Heavenly Sword Sect's hand. For this, he even brought along the sect's most valuable treasure, the Blood Dissipating Divine Saber.
The sect was called the Cult of the Blood Blade because of the Blood Dissipating Blade. Back then, it had killed three Soul Formation Overlords and established the name of the Cult of the Blood Blade.
The Thousand Mountains were located in a remote corner. In terms of military strategy, it could be said to be a land of death. The Blood Knife Sect wasn't interested in Qian Shan. However, if the Heavenly Sword Sect had Qian Shan in their hands, the situation would be completely different.
At that time, the Heavenly Sword Sect would be able to form a pincer attack and trap the Blood Blade Cult in the middle. Even though Qian Shan was far away and wouldn't pose a huge threat in a short period of time.
But this kind of thing had to be seen in the long term. For Nascent Souls, planning a major event would take hundreds of years as a unit of measurement.
True Lord Luo Gu's plan this time was very simple. He wanted to take down Thousand Mountain, and if he couldn't, he would destroy the entire Thousand Mountain Sect. At the very least, it couldn't fall into the hands of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
High up in the sky, there was no end to it. Above the blue sky, there was only the endless sea of clouds and the brilliant red sun.
The Blood Saber Church's Soaring Cloud Flying Ship tore through the clouds. The Blood Saber Mark on the long sail looked even more eye-catching under the blazing red light of the sun.
This time, True Lord Luo Gu had brought the divine saber of his sect with him, so he was naturally very confident. However, although the Cloud-Soaring Flying Ship was fast, it could only travel fifteen thousand kilometers a day. It would take at least ten days to reach Qian Shan, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Although True Lord Luo Gu was in a hurry to kill everyone, he couldn't do it alone. As the Deputy Patriarch of the Blood Blade Sect, he had his own style. Besides, Perfected Cultivator Purple Blood and a dozen Golden Core Cultivators were traveling with them.
This was a powerful force, and also the source of True Lord Luo Gu's confidence. Otherwise, he might not be able to suppress the Heavenly Sword Sect by himself.
Although the Blood Dissipating Divine Saber was powerful, it depended on who was using it. True Lord Luo Gu was also aware that he could not kill an Essence Soul expert even with the Blood Transformation Saber. At most, he would be able to escape from a Primordial Soul expert.
It was different with so many experts from the Blood Saber Sect around. They could form an array and unleash the full power of the Blood Dissipating Divine Saber. It was not impossible for him to kill a Primordial Soul expert.
It was also the first time that True Lord Luo Gu had mastered the Blood Dissipating Saber by himself, which was why he was so eager to try it out and couldn't suppress his excitement. This feeling was like getting a sharp knife and wanting to chop something to test it out.
Unfortunately, the entire journey was calm and tranquil, and they didn't even encounter a single demonic bird. This also disappointed True Monarch Luo Gu, who wanted to test his saber.
Today, True Lord Luo Gu stood at the bow for a long time, but it was still calm. Just as he was about to go back and rest, his disciple Yuan Zheng ran over and said, "Master, there's a flying ship chasing after us. It looks like it's the Sky Sword Sect's Cloud Chopping Ship!"
There were many formations on the Lingyun Flying Ship, and jindan xiuzhe were guarding it day and night. The range of his spirit consciousness also far surpassed that of a Nascent Soul. From a thousand miles away, the Soaring Cloud Flying Ship's array formation could sense that there was a flying ship chasing after them.
Although they couldn't sense the other party's image, they could almost determine that it was the Cloud Chopping Ship based on its aura alone.
True Lord Luo Gu's face darkened slightly. The Sky Sword Sect's Cloud Chopping Ship was built later. The Cloud Chopping Ship meant that they were going to chop down their Lingyun Flying Ship. If he had known earlier, he would have called it the Lingtian Battleship!
However, he immediately became happy. The other party had come at the right time. They could fight it out first, and the winner would naturally win over Qian Shan.
True Lord Luo Gu instructed, "Slow down and wait for them to come up."
Yuan Zheng was a little surprised. Qian Shan hadn't arrived yet, and he didn't know what was going on over there. Wasn't it a little unwise to start a war with the Sky Sword Sect?
However, True Lord Luo Gu was his master, and he had to cling onto him tightly. He didn't dare to question his master's orders. He hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The flying ship quickly slowed down. True Lord Purple Blood, who was meditating in the cabin, sensed that something was wrong and went to the deck to find True Lord Luo Gu.
"What's going on?" True Lord Purple Blood was also a Deputy Sect Master, and in terms of seniority, he was older than True Lord Luo Gu.
True Lord Purple Blood had encountered some problems while cultivating the Blood Shadow Scripture, and later cultivated another secret art. As a result, the blood in his body turned purple, and he looked purple from the inside out. He wasn't very tall and was rather round. He was also wearing a purple robe.
At first glance, he looked like a large purple potato. It was quite comical.
True Lord Luo Gu had always looked down on True Lord Purple Blood, feeling that his appearance was a disgrace. He said unhurriedly, "The Sky Sword Sect's Cloud Chopping Ship is behind us. Today, I'll destroy their Cloud Chopping Ship!"
True Lord Purple Blood also hated True Lord Luo Gu's self-righteousness. He said with a cold expression, "We're here to solve Qian Shan's problem. What's the use of beating up the Sky Sword Sect? Can you flatten them? "
True Lord Luo Gu said unhappily, "This is a good opportunity. The Cloud Chopping Ship is alone, and I have the Blood Transformation Sword in my hands. It's just the right time to kill them all. As long as we deal with the Sky Sword Sect, Qian Shan's problem won't be a problem. "
True Lord Purple Blood had to admit that Luo Gu was right. The Sky Sword Sect was their real threat. Qian Shan was insignificant. However, things wouldn't be so easy.
The Sky Sword Sect wasn't a fool. How could they be unprepared for an expedition to Qian Shan? True Lord Luo Gu wanted to use his divine blade to kill them all in one fell swoop, but he was too optimistic.
He retorted, "The Sky Sword Sect will definitely bring the Sky Wave Sword. What's the use of the Blood Transformation Sword?"
The Sky Wave Sword was also the sect's ultimate treasure, a divine weapon on the same level as the Blood Transformation Sword. However, how much power such a divine weapon could display depended on who wielded it.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the spells of this world had become more refined and ingenious. But this development had been downward. High-level power had always been limited to the Yuan Spirit level, and no one had been able to break through.
Perhaps because of the dissipation of energy, the number of Yuan Spirit experts had been declining. Primordial Spirit spells and divine weapons were also being lost.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Blood Knife Ancestor had used the Blood Transformation Sword to kill Yuan Spirit experts and run amok for a time.
But in the last few thousand years, the Blood Transformation Sword Ancestor hadn't killed another Yuan Spirit expert. Although the Blood Knife Sect's inheritance was endless, its top-level power was constantly declining.
Now, no one could use the full power of the Blood Transformation Sword Ancestor. Even the Primordial Dao Lords of the sect could only use 60% to 70% of its power.
In True Lord Luo Gu's hands, even with the help of arrays, he could only use 30% to 40% of its power. Wanting to run amok with the Blood Transformation Sword Ancestor was simply a pipe dream.
True Lord Purple Blood didn't want to fight the Sky Sword Sect. Both sides were about the same in power, and rashly starting a fight wouldn't give him an advantage. It was better to figure out Thousand Mountain's situation.
It would be best to negotiate with the Sky Sword Sect and solve the problem peacefully.
True Lord Luo Gu didn't think much of True Lord Purple Blood's conservatism. He felt that this old man was weak and afraid of death. They were a demonic sect, so they should fight fiercely and kill the Sky Sword Sect as soon as they had the chance.
What could they do if they were hesitant and afraid of the slightest thing?!
He said decisively, "We'll slow down and wait for the Sky Sword Sect. If they don't provoke us, I won't attack them. "
True Lord Purple Blood couldn't object and could only nod reluctantly. "Just remember not to do anything rash."
The flying ship slowed down. Two hours later, the Cloud Slasher Flying Ship approached from behind.
The Cloud Slasher Flying Ship was about three hundred meters long and shaped like a date pit. It was streamlined and only had forty-two Purple Light Thunder Flame Cannons. This sealed Cloud Slasher Flying Ship's construction technology far surpassed that of the Cloud Soaring Ship.
In terms of flying ships, the Cloud Slasher Flying Ship was definitely superior to the Cloud Soaring Ship. However, the Cloud Soaring Ship was bigger and carried more people, so the formation inside was also bigger. If they really went all out, they could put up a fight.
A yellow-clothed Daoist with a sword on his back appeared on the Cloud Slasher Flying Ship. He had handsome features and a long beard. He had the air of an immortal.
True Lord Luo Gu saw that it was an old acquaintance, the Sky Sword Sect's True Lord Profound Secrets. This person was cunning and had an extremely high status in the Sky Sword Sect, second only to the sect master.
True Lord Profound Secrets cupped his hands from afar and said with a smile, "Greetings, Fellow Daoists Luo Gu and Purple Blood."
True Lord Luo Gu couldn't stand the pretense and said directly, "Profound Secrets, get to the point."
True Lord Profound Secrets nodded. "Then I'll get to the point. You're going to Thousand Mountain, right? "
Without waiting for True Lord Luo Gu and the others to reply, True Lord Profound Secrets continued, "The Nether Sect's Gao Zhengyang is a traitor of Thousand Mountain Sect and killed a few disciples of my Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect. After that, he used a trick to exterminate Thousand Ghost Sect and forcefully took in many heterodox sects as his subordinates. Such actions are extremely despicable and sinister. My sect has received a request for help from Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect, so we're here to kill this devil, Gao Zhengyang, and restore stability to the northwest. "
True Lord Profound Secrets said to True Lord Luo Gu, "Everyone, I'm sure you won't stand up for this devil, Gao Zhengyang?"
True Lord Luo Gu smiled disdainfully. "What we do is none of your business."
True Lord Profound Secrets wasn't angry. "What I mean is, there's no conflict between us. Right, everyone goes their own way, there's no need to fight. "
True Lord Luo Gu was unwilling. He led the team to the west to do something big. It didn't matter if Qian Shan couldn't get it. As long as he killed Profound Secrets, it would be the same as cutting off one of Heavenly Sword Sect's arms.
He sneered and said, "Thousand Ghost Sect is my sect's ally. Gao Zhengyang exterminated Thousand Ghost Sect, so he's my sect's enemy. He's ours. You just need to go home now. I'll take care of Qian Shan's matter! "
True Lord Luo Gu thought for a while and said, "I can send his head to you after I kill Gao Zhengyang." To him, this was a concession.
True Lord Profound Secrets smiled. "That's not very appropriate. Sect Master ordered us to kill Gao Zhengyang."
True Lord Luo Gu sneered. "Didn't you hear what I said? Gao Zhengyang is ours. "
True Lord Luo Gu's stubbornness made True Lord Profound Secrets a little unhappy. He frowned slightly, thinking that although this guy was arrogant, it was a little unusual for him to provoke them so arrogantly and deliberately.
True Lord Profound Secrets pondered for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo Gu, you're making it a little difficult for me to deal with you."
"We cultivators go against the heavens to seek the Dao. We have to fight for everything. How can there be so much vanity? "
True Lord Luo Gu said, "It's easy to make me give in. Let's fight, and the loser will leave. How about that?"
True Lord Profound Secrets laughed and stroked his beard. "Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to fight?"
"If you're afraid, then scram immediately. Don't talk nonsense," True Lord Luo Gu said impatiently.
"Alright, I'll have a taste of your brilliance. Let's see what you've learned in the past two hundred years to be so confident. "
True Lord Profound Secrets waved his long sleeves and flew into the void. The Cloud-slaying Flying Ship retreated to the side. A battle between Nascent Soul Perfected Lords could spread their majestic Dharmic powers hundreds of miles away. Although the Cloud-slaying Flying Ship was not afraid, there was no need for it to fight head-on.
On the other side, the Cloud-slaying Flying Ship also retreated to the side, making space for the two Nascent Soul Perfected Lords.
True Lord Luo Gu also flew into the void and stood ten thousand feet away from True Lord Profound Secrets.
This distance was equivalent to touching a Nascent Soul Perfected Lord's face. A battle between Nascent Soul Perfected Lords would naturally not be as close as that between ordinary cultivators.
Generally speaking, Nascent Souls would release Dharmic artifacts and Dharmic arts from afar and would not engage in close combat.
True Lord Profound Secrets cupped his fists at True Lord Luo Gu. "Please guide me, fellow Daoist."
True Lord Luo Gu harrumphed coldly and conjured a Dharmic seal, summoning a Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon was refined from a living Golden Core cultivator and transformed into a ball of blood essence. It was illusory yet real and could transform into various forms. Ordinary cultivators would be corroded by the poison of the Blood Demon into a ball of filthy blood the moment they came into contact with it.
Even Dharmic artifacts would be contaminated by demonic qi the moment they were touched by the Blood Demon and could no longer function.
Although the method of refining a Blood Demon was cruel, it was extremely powerful once it was successfully refined. True Lord Luo Gu struggled for a few hundred years and only managed to refine 18 Blood Demons.
These Blood Demons did not have any intelligence, but he had planted a wisp of his spirit consciousness in them, allowing him to control them like an extension of his arm. They could even form Dharma Formations.
At the sight of the 18 blood rainbows, True Lord Profound Secrets flicked his finger unhurriedly and a white sword light soared into the sky behind him.
The sword light revolved around his body at an extremely fast speed, instantly covering the area within a radius of 10,000 feet. The dense white light formed a massive ball of light that completely covered True Lord Profound Secrets.
True Lord Profound Secrets's Sun-Penetrating Rainbow Sword had been tempered by a secret technique and was not afraid of being contaminated by demonic blood. Although such a sharp sword light could not truly kill the Blood Demons, it could mince them into pieces.
The 18 blood shadows were continuously shattered and reborn within the flashing white light. However, they were unable to break through the layers of light.
Both parties were very familiar with each other and were in a stalemate the moment they attacked.
Although True Lord Luo Gu had the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, he did not dare to use it recklessly. If his sneak attack failed, he would no longer have a chance to kill Profound Secrets.
True Lord Profound Secrets was even more patient. He activated his sword art and set up layers of sword formations. By protecting himself firmly, he was already in an undefeatable position.
As the two Nascent Souls fought, everyone on the Soaring Cloud Flying Ship and the Cloud Slaying Flying Ship focused all their attention on the battlefield. It was the same for the few Nascent Souls.
Nobody noticed that Gao Zhengyang had turned into a shadow and appeared at the control center of the Cloud Slaying Flying Ship.
The Cloud Slaying Flying Ship was naturally protected by layers of Dharma Formations. However, to Gao Zhengyang's spirit projection, those Dharma Formations that targeted the body, spirit consciousness and soul were nothing.
The mind was a separate plane. Gao Zhengyang could break through most of the Dharma Formations in this world through spirit roaming. It was mainly because the Dharma spells in this world were flawed in this aspect.
Of course, it was not the case for cultivators. Cultivators might not understand the profoundness of the mind, but their powerful souls allowed them to protect their minds from being harmed. At the Nascent Soul level, Gao Zhengyang could no longer use tricks with his spirit power.
However, with his powerful spirit power, Gao Zhengyang could still unknowingly make some hints to guide him. For example, True Lord Luo Gu had actually become eager for quick success due to his guidance over the past few days.
Of course, that was mainly because True Lord Luo Gu had such thoughts. Gao Zhengyang was merely stimulating his heart.
That was naturally not enough to hurt True Lord Luo Gu. However, it left a small gap in his soul. For Gao Zhengyang, that was an opportunity.
There were three Golden Core Cultivators and a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the control center of the Cloud Slaying Flying Ship. They could control the Dharma Formations through the control center and control the Cloud Slaying Flying Ship.
At that moment, everyone was paying attention to the battle on the water mirror. The Purple Thunder Flame Cannons on the flying ship were ready, but they had to wait for orders to attack.
To them, there was no need to pay attention to saber Dao when killing fiends. There was no need to hesitate and attack when there was a chance.
However, they could not understand the battle between Nascent Souls. They did not know when to attack. They had to listen to the commands of Nascent Souls. Although the Purple Thunder Flame Cannons were powerful, it was difficult to hit Nascent Souls and was more of a deterrent.
Therefore, everyone was paying attention to the battle but was not too nervous. It was not up to them to decide the outcome of the battle.
Gao Zhengyang could not control their minds, but he could grasp their thoughts through spirit roaming. It was also easy to guide them.
He glanced at the array disc of the Dharma Formation. It was through this disc that the Purple Thunder Flame Cannons could be controlled. However, it was difficult to control the accuracy.
The more powerful a Dharma artifact was, the harder it was to control. This was especially so for the Purple Thunder Flame, which had violent Dharmic powers. The requirements for how to accumulate Dharmic powers, how to channel them and how to activate them were all very high.
Even Essence Soul experts would find it difficult to accurately hit the enemy with the Purple Thunder Flame Cannons.
Gao Zhengyang took a few glances at it and understood the spirit formation in his heart. He smiled silently at the group of people from Heavenly Sword Sect. "I'll help you aim and ensure that it hits the target!"
The group of cultivators did not notice Gao Zhengyang's presence and naturally could not respond.
