Jun Wu Xie felt very uneasy. This feeling made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as though there was a rock pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
As he rushed back to the capital, he took out a communication jade token to contact Su Gang from the Treasure House to ask if Su Xiaoxiao had returned.
Su Gang replied quickly, saying that the Saintess hadn't returned.
"Has she contacted you recently?"
Jun Wu Xie's heart sank. It had been so long. With the speed of two Class 8 Gale Horses, they should have arrived at the capital by now!
It seemed that something had really happened to them.
"No, Young Master. Did something happen?"
Su Gang's anxious voice came from the communication jade token.
"Try contacting your Saintess now and see if you can get a response from her!"
His speed increased once again. Along the way, he created sonic booms and terrifying shockwaves as he passed through mountains, plains, deep streams, and large rivers!
As he rushed, he anxiously waited for Su Gang's response.
After about ten minutes, Su Gang's voice finally came from the communication jade token.
"Young Master, I've contacted the Saintess. She said that she will return to the capital today. They accidentally entered a domain and were trapped for more than ten days. As a result, some things were delayed. She asked you not to worry. "
"Alright, I got it!"
Jun Wu Xie heaved a sigh of relief.
Yueyao and the rest were fine!
Just as he relaxed, his heart tensed up again.
If Yueyao and the rest were fine, where did the ominous feeling in his heart come from?
"Could it be the sect?"
Speaking of which, the sect shouldn't be in trouble. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, with Uncle Bird and Lord Alcohol's strength, few could do anything to them.
Furthermore, the sect had the protection of the Patriarch. He was an expert no weaker than an early-stage Zong Monarch!
At noon, the capital was in sight.
The familiar city appeared at the end of his line of sight, standing tall on the land illuminated by the sun.
Jun Wu Xie didn't enter the city and headed straight for the sect.
The Zong Monarch Mountain was still deserted.
The weeds on the mountain were even more lush than before. Even the path up the mountain was covered by weeds.
He was somewhat speechless.
When he was in the sect, he would clean it up whenever he had the time. Looking at the current situation, it was likely that no one would walk this path for months, let alone clean it up.
"What a bunch of lazy bums …"
He walked along the mountain path, and as his footsteps landed, his Blood Qi surged. The weeds on the path were all turned into fine powder, and a clean and spacious path was cleared out.
They arrived at the mountainside courtyard.
He saw that the courtyard was overgrown with grass. What was even more outrageous was that the stone steps in front of the house were covered with moss, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
He walked around the sect and didn't see any signs of fighting. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seemed like nothing had happened in the sect.
Walking into the main hall of the sect, it was empty inside. The old bamboo rocking chair was covered in dust. It was obvious that no one had sat on it for a long time.
"Lord Alcohol, Uncle Bird, Xu Daoling, and Emptiness should all be cultivating. The sect is really too quiet. After this competition, we can reinvigorate the sect and recruit some disciples. It's good to add some life to the sect. "
He left the dilapidated main hall and prepared to head to the back of the mountain. That was where the sect's elders and juniors cultivated.
As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, his pupils shrank slightly.
His gaze fell on the side of the grass. There was a sword with a cold light.
"How could a spiritual sword be left here?"
He was deeply puzzled. Although the spiritual sword didn't seem to be of a high star level and should only be a one-star spiritual weapon, it was a little strange that it had fallen here.
He walked forward and was about to pick up the spiritual sword when he saw a few lines of small words engraved on the sword. His heart sank. He grabbed the spiritual sword and rushed to the back of the mountain at lightning speed.
"Uncle Bird!"
His voice was like a dragon's roar, shaking the entire Sect King Mountain.
But there was no response.
"Uncle Bird, are you there?"
He shouted again.
At this moment, a figure rushed into the sky from the deep pool under the mountain waterfall.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you're back?" Emptiness rushed up and gave him a bear hug. "Eldest Senior Brother, why are you screaming the moment you come back?"
Jun Wu Xie frowned and pushed Emptiness away with a gloomy face.
"Eldest Senior Brother, haha, did you bring back anything good for us?"
Xu Daoling also came. He was so excited that his eyes were shining.
Jun Wu Xie raised his hand and flicked them twice, leaving two bruises on their heads.
"Where's Uncle Bird?"
He asked in a low voice.
"Isn't he in the sect?"
Xu Daoling and Emptiness's faces were full of resentment as they rubbed the bruises on their heads.
"Like hell he is!"
Jun Wu Xie stabbed the spiritual sword into the ground. The sword trembled, and a few lines of words engraved on the sword entered Xu Daoling and Emptiness's eyes.
Their expressions changed.
"Take this sword and go find Lord Alcohol immediately!"
After saying that, Jun Wu Xie turned and rushed down the mountain. Along the way, there was a thunderous sound.
He came to the place where He Jianyun and Uncle Bird met.
Looking at the scene here, his heart kept sinking!
The peak of this mountain was covered with sword scars. At a glance, it was obvious that a battle had taken place.
But judging from these sword scars, the battle back then wasn't very intense.
The sword scars weren't deep. It should have been caused by the aftermath of the sword qi.
"He Jianyun, you're despicable and shameless!"
Jun Wu Xie clenched his fists, and a wave of hostility surged from the bottom of his heart.
Based on the scars here, he could roughly guess.
He Jianyun had asked Uncle Bird to meet here, but there were many experts hidden. As a result, Uncle Bird fell into He Jianyun's hands without any effective resistance!
What he was most worried about now was Uncle Bird's safety.
He Jianyun and Uncle Bird had a deep grudge. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of torture Uncle Bird would suffer in his hands!
"Daiga Ken Sect alone doesn't have the ability to take down Uncle Bird so easily! There must be people from the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect or even the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect involved in this matter! "
Jun Wu Xie's killing intent blazed in his heart. His aura was bone-chilling, causing the air on the mountain peak to turn cold.
He suddenly turned to look in the direction of the Daiga Ken Sect!
"He Jianyun, I'm going to take your dog life today!"
He was unable to restrain his anger and directly headed for the Daiga Ken Sect.
"Wuxie!"
Lord Alcohol rushed over and pulled him back.
"Lord Alcohol!" Jun Wu Xie turned around and looked at the solemn Lord Alcohol. "Uncle Bird has fallen into the hands of He Jianyun and the others. I have to save him as soon as possible! Otherwise, I don't know what He Jianyun will do to him! "
Lord Alcohol shook his head and said, "You can't go! If He Jianyun and the others want to kill Qianshan, they can kill him here. There's no need to take him away! If you kill your way to the Daiga Ken Sect now, will you be able to save him? "
"Let's not talk about whether you're a match for the Daiga Ken Sect, the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect, or the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect. Even if you can really defeat them, you'll only force them to kill Qianshan. Moreover, if they use Qianshan to threaten you, what will you do? "
Jun Wu Xie gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and smashed them on the ground.
Immediately, the entire mountain cracked open and was about to collapse.
Lord Alcohol looked at him in shock.
The power of this punch was already stronger than many martial artists in the Grandmaster Realm!
"Lord Alcohol, you're right. If I kill my way into the Daiga Ken Sect now, I'll only leave behind something to gossip about. The Mountain Upholding Sword Sect and the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect will use this as an excuse to attack the Sōgō Gakuin School. I was too impulsive!"
He calmed down.
Right now, the world didn't know about the despicable actions of He Jianyun and the others. If he killed his way into the Daiga Ken Sect, he would leave behind something to gossip about!
Why would He Jianyun and the others capture Uncle Bird at this juncture?
He thought about it carefully. The Mountain Upholding Sword Sect and the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect should have already known about what had happened in the Southern Ancient City.
They might have done this to increase their trump cards.
In a battle of life and death, if their people were no match for him, He Jianyun might use Uncle Bird to threaten him.
He told Lord Alcohol his speculation, and Lord Alcohol agreed.
"Now, we can only wait for the day of the battle. When they're all focused on the battle, this old man will secretly sneak into the Daiga Ken Sect and rescue Qian Shan!"
"Lord Alcohol, have you broken through to the Grandmaster Realm?"
Lord Alcohol shook his head and said, "I'm currently at the half-step Grandmaster Realm. In another month, I should be able to break through. As long as the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect doesn't send any Grandmaster Realm experts to hide in the Daiga Ken Sect, this old man should be able to secretly rescue Qian Shan while they're lax. "
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
He knew that if Lord Alcohol wanted to save Uncle Bird, he could only wait for an opportunity.
Although Lord Alcohol was now at the half-step Grandmaster Realm, even if he was discovered by someone at the Grandmaster Realm, they couldn't do anything to him.
However, Lord Alcohol couldn't attack the Grandmasters of the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect. Otherwise, the Sōgō Gakuin School would be doomed!
The higher-ups of the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect didn't dare to attack Jun Wu Xie, but they dared to attack Lord Alcohol and the others in the sect.
