Jianchen stood there silently as he stared in the direction the four men had disappeared in. The light in his eyes flickered.
"Fourth young master, my condolences. The patriarch and madam have already passed away. Let's hold a funeral for them as soon as possible," at this moment, an old man arrived beside Jianchen and whispered to Jianchen. The old man was a senior figure in the Changyang Prefecture. He was an Earth Saint Master.
Jianchen calmed himself down and gently shook his head, "There's no need for a funeral. Father and mother aren't dead. I will definitely save them."
The old man gently sighed when he heard that. He believed that Jianchen had become delirious from grief.
"Elder, who were the four people who just left?" Jianchen gently asked. His tone was very calm and did not change at all.
The old man thought for a while before replying, "Fourth young master, I'm not very sure about the identities of the four experts from before, but I think I heard them say that they were from the Bloodsword sect."
"Bloodsword sect!" Jianchen softly murmured. A sliver of doubt flashed through his eyes. He was extremely unfamiliar with the name of the sect.
After a moment of hesitation, Jianchen left the place. He arrived in a garden in the Changyang Prefecture and saw the ancestor of the Bi family, Bi Hai, sitting in a pavilion in the garden, drinking alone.
Jianchen looked at the ancestor of the Bi family with mixed feelings. He knew that the matter of his mother had saddened the ancestor. After all, the Bi family was no longer the glorious Bi family of the past. It could be said that every single descendant of the Bi family was Bi Hai's favorite, a treasure in the palm of his hand.
"Great-grandfather!" Jianchen arrived in the pavilion and sat down across from Bi Hai.
Bi Hai put down his cup and raised his head to look at Jianchen. From Jianchen's calm gaze, he could tell that Jianchen had already recovered from the pain from a few days ago. Bi Hai gently sighed, "Great-grandson, take good care of your parents' bodies. You're already a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master now. Once you reach the 7th Class, you should have the ability to revive them." With that, Bi Hai poured himself another cup of wine and downed it in a single gulp.
Jian Chen nodded, "Great-grandfather, there's something I'd like to ask you about. May I ask if you know about the Bloodsword sect?"
A gleam of light immediately flashed through Bi Hai's eyes when he heard the words' Bloodsword sect '. He stared at Jianchen in interest and sternly asked, "Great-grandson, where did you learn about the Bloodsword sect?"
"The four red-robed middle-aged men from before should be from the Bloodsword sect," Jianchen replied.
"What? The four of them are from the Bloodsword sect?" Bi Hai was slightly surprised, but he soon understood. He murmured, "No wonder the four of them are always surrounded by a layer of powerful Baleful Yin Qi. They've killed countless people before using a special method to condense it. As it turns out, the four of them are actually from the Bloodsword sect."
A sliver of reminiscence appeared in Bi Hai's eyes as a few past events appeared in his head. He slowly downed the wine in his cup and slowly said, "I do know a little about the Bloodsword sect, but my knowledge is extremely limited."
"The Bloodsword sect is one of the three great assassin organizations on the Tian Yuan Continent, ranked second. Not only is it extremely mysterious, but it's not weak either. It completely surpasses the hermit clans and can rival ancient clans. However, a thousand years ago, the three peak assassin organizations of the Tian Yuan Continent began a large-scale war for some reason. After the war ended, the Bloodsword sect vanished from the continent, never appearing again. I just never thought that the four blood-red men would be from the Bloodsword sect. "
"Great-grandfather, do you know who the sect master of the Bloodsword sect is?" Jianchen asked. Since the four experts had been sent by the sect master, the sect master definitely had some sort of relationship with him. Otherwise, why would the Bloodsword sect that had vanished for a thousand years reappear? Why would they help him and prevent the destruction of Changyang Prefecture?
Bi Hai shook his head, "Back then, I was only a puny Heaven Saint Master. What kind of status did the sect master have? Coupled with the fact that the sect has always been mysterious, how would I have the right to know his name?"
"Hehe, there aren't a lot of people who know the sect master's name on the Tian Yuan Continent, but I happen to be one of them." At this moment, an old voice rang out from nearby. The granny Tianmu Ling spoke of slowly walked toward the pavilion with a cane.
Jianchen and Bi Hai immediately stood up and clasped their hands at the old woman, "Greetings, senior!"
Wang Yinhong chuckled, "There's no need to be so courteous. I came here without permission and eavesdropped on your conversation, so please don't take offense. However, Jianchen, I do know quite a lot about the Bloodsword sect you speak of."
Jianchen hurriedly invited the old woman to sit down in the pavilion. He had already learned from the people who had returned that the Flame Mercenaries had also encountered a great disaster. Even Nubis, Bi Hai, and Jiede Tai had been heavily injured. In the end, it was the old woman who had saved the Flame Mercenaries, so Jianchen felt extremely grateful to her.
"Senior, please tell me about the Bloodsword sect," Jianchen eagerly asked as soon as the old woman sat down.
The old woman kindly smiled, "Jianchen, before I tell you about the Bloodsword sect, there's something I want to discuss with you. Back then, I helped you repel powerful enemies in the Flame Mercenaries and ensured the safety of your friends and family. However, I won't help people for no reason. Since I've helped you, I obviously need to repay you. Jianchen, you must remember that you owe me a favor."
Jianchen sternly replied, "Senior, this junior will never forget your kindness. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. If you need Jianchen in the future, Jianchen will definitely not turn you down as long as it's within my power." Jianchen struggled to imagine what would have happened to the Flame Mercenaries if the old woman had not assisted them when they were attacked by the five Saint Rulers. Although his friends and family might not have died, he would definitely have been caught between a rock and a hard place.
Wang Yanhong smiled from ear to ear when she heard Jianchen's words. She said, "Let me tell you about the Bloodsword sect now."
"The Bloodsword sect is a powerful assassination organization on the Tian Yuan Continent. They've existed for several tens of thousands of years, and they're no weaker than ancient clans. They practice a special cultivation method that allows them to increase their strength through slaughter. Every time they kill someone, they'll condense a strand of Baleful Yin Qi. The more people they kill, the denser the Baleful Yin Qi will become. Not only can the Baleful Yin Qi befuddle a person's mind, causing them to enter a temporary state of confusion, it can also wipe out a person's soul, killing them without leaving a trace. It's feared by everyone on the Tian Yuan Continent."
"However, the Baleful Yin Qi of the Bloodsword sect has a great drawback, which is that it'll be depleted with every strand used. If it's used up too much, it can only be replenished through slaughter. As a result, only people below Heaven Saint Master often use the Baleful Yin Qi. Saint Rulers rarely use the Baleful Yin Qi against their enemies unless they're in life-threatening danger. Due to the limitations of Celestial Decay, Saint Rulers are unable to engage in wanton slaughter, so the Baleful Yin Qi will be depleted with every use. It's basically impossible to replenish it. However, once the Saint Rulers of the Bloodsword sect use the Baleful Yin Qi against their enemies, they'll be able to kill Saint Rulers in a single strike unless the difference in strength is just too great. This is their greatest method of survival." A sliver of deep fear appeared in Wang Yanhong's eyes when she reached there.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I sensed so much Baleful Yin Qi from the four of them. It must have been condensed before they reached Saint Ruler," Jianchen thought. He could not help but think of the four men in blood-red clothes.
"But a thousand years ago, something happened to the three assassin organizations of the Tian Yuan Continent. It was all caused by the current sect master of the Bloodsword sect. He was extremely talented, and after several thousand years of cultivation, he reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. He became the only person who was infinitely close to the Holy Emperor since the founding of the Bloodsword sect. Because of his existence, the strength of the Bloodsword sect skyrocketed, becoming a sect that completely surpassed ancient clans and could rival the ten protector clans.
"After reaching such a level of strength, the current sect master of the Bloodsword sect became one of the few supreme experts on the Tian Yuan Continent. As a result, he wanted to unify all the assassin organizations. As a result, the other two organizations worked together and engaged in a great battle against the Bloodsword sect.
"However, the current sect master's strength has already reached the apex. Even with the entire continent in perspective, only Mercenary City, the protector clans, and the path lord of carnal desires can contend against him. Although the other two assassin organisations have already worked together, they're still not the Bloodsword sect's opponent. The leaders of the two assassin organisations have even been injured by the sect master. They're in grave danger."
"But at this moment, something unfortunate happened. The other two organizations actually used a scheme to draw out the partner of the sect master of the Bloodsword sect. They surrounded her and killed her. Her soul was destroyed, and even powerful Radiant Saint Masters were unable to save her. The sect master of the Bloodsword sect found his partner after he reached the level of Holy Emperor. She held an extremely important position in the sect master's heart. She was even pregnant before she died.
"The death of his partner has dealt a heavy blow to the master of the Bloodsword sect. In just a single night, the master of the Bloodsword sect has undergone an overwhelming change. His handsome face, which had always been in his twenties, has aged overnight. Even his black hair has turned white."
"Afterwards, the sect master of the Bloodsword sect used a ten-thousand-year-old heavenly treasure to save the child in his partner's womb. He brought his dead partner and young son alone to carry out a crazy revenge on the two assassin organizations. In this battle, the sect master dealt a devastating blow to the two assassin organizations. All the experts of the two assassin organizations died at the hands of the sect master of the Bloodsword sect, greatly damaging their vitality."
"After this matter, the renowned Bloodsword sect vanished from the Tian Yuan Continent. As for the sect master, he never appeared on the Tian Yuan Continent. There wasn't even any news about him. It was as if he had vanished. No one knew where he had gone. During this time, there were many rumors. Some said that the sect master had died from Celestial Decay because he had killed too many people. Some people say that the sect master of the Bloodsword sect is in so much pain that he wants to die that he's gone after someone's dead wife. There are also people who say that the sect master of the Bloodsword sect has already retired from the continent, living a life of isolation. However, no matter how vicious the rumors are, the sect master of the Bloodsword sect has never appeared on the continent. No one knows if he's retired or gone after someone's dead wife. "
"Senior, do you know the name of the sect master of the Bloodsword sect?" Jianchen was rather urgent.
