The sky was clear and the clouds were clear.
A beam of light fell from the sky, broke through the clouds, and entered the sky above the Hui Mountain.
This was a tall mountain near Great Peace City.
The Hui Mountain was deserted, and was especially quiet and deep.
There was a stream that wound around the mountain like a jade belt.
Lu Qingshan, who was flying over on his sword, hovered high in the air, and probed with his Divine Sense.
There were hawthorn trees all over the mountain.
There were very few buildings on the mountain, and only an old Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.
"Looks like we've come for nothing again?"
Lu Qingshan frowned. Finally, he had an idea, and brought Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu to the Taoist temple.
Sword light flashed, and the three of them appeared in the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple seemed to have been deserted for a long time, and yellow leaves had piled up all over the courtyard.
There was an old well in the center of the courtyard.
There were hawthorn trees beside the old well, but they did not look good after being exposed to the elements.
Lu Qingshan looked around.
The two sisters looked around as well, but as they looked, their big eyes gradually filled with tears.
"Master, this is the Green Wind Sect. A Taoist grandpa used to live here, and my father often brought me and my sister here to play …" Lin Chuyi said, pursing her lips.
Lin Shiwu nodded hard, and pointed at the old well. "Back then, my sister and I loved to throw hawthorn into the well … If my father saw it, he would say we …"
"But now, Grandpa Taoist grandpa is gone, and so is my father. Mother is gone …" Lin Shiwu pouted, her eyes red.
Lu Qingshan was silent for a while, and then sighed. He rubbed their heads, and finally put a handful of hawthorn on the well. "I'll go out and take a look. Wait for me here."
.....
After leaving the Taoist temple, Lu Qingshan wandered around the mountain again, and his heart grew heavy.
Who would have thought that the Green Wind Sect he had been searching for was really around Great Peace City?
Perhaps it was fate, but after leaving the Yellow Springs World's boundary, they appeared in the area where the Green Wind Sect used to be.
It could only be said that he was fated to be in this mountain.
If it were not for Lin Chuyi's question, Lu Qingshan might not have realized this until now.
Oranges are orange in Huainan and oranges in Huaibei.
This showed the influence of the natural geographical environment on the fruit.
The Middle Heaven Domain was extremely vast, and with the influence of rich Spirit Qi, the taste of the same fruit in different places was extremely different.
But the two sisters had said that the tanghulu in Great Peace City tasted exactly the same as the hawthorn in their home.
Didn't this mean that Blue Wind Sect was very likely to be around Great Peace City?
This was the most logical explanation.
So he returned to his old place and found the Hui Mountain that produced hawthorn near Great Peace City.
As it turned out, his guess was correct.
However …
According to Chuyi and Shiwu, this place should have been the location of the Green Wind Sect.
However, when he looked around, there were no other buildings apart from the Daoist temple on the mountainside.
The sect that once existed, not only the people, but even the objects were gone without a trace.
"No wonder …"
The Middle Heaven Domain spanned tens of thousands of miles and was vast, but for so many humans to be sold to the Demon Realm without being discovered, it was not just because it was vast.
More importantly, these human traitors had dealt with the aftermath in secret.
They could completely erase the traces of a sect from this world.
Not just in terms of material, but also in terms of information.
In Zhishou Tower's information vault, the Green Wind Sect did not exist here.
This was the most terrifying part.
The power of the mastermind was unimaginable.
Lu Qingshan's gaze was like a knife.
The Sword Sect's territory was the Eastern Domain. While the Sword Sect had their own information channels in the Middle Heaven Domain, they clearly could not pay attention to a small, unknown Green Wind Sect.
"It seems that I have to go to Tianji Temple this time," he murmured.
In the middle heaven region where the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty ruled with one hand, only the Tianji Temple could stand up to them.
He could only rely on Tianji Temple's information and its power to unravel this conspiracy and get rid of this malignant tumor.
"But before that, I can go to Great Peace City first."
The Hui Mountain where the Green Wind Sect was located was not far from Great Peace City. There should be many people in the city who knew about the Green Wind Sect.
Perhaps they had a way to erase the traces of the Green Wind Sect's existence, but they definitely could not erase the Green Wind Sect from these people's memories.
.....
Lu Qingshan returned to the temple.
In the temple, the eyes of the two sisters were still red.
They were gently tossing the hawthorns beside the well into the ancient well.
This was like a ceremony, a ceremony to commemorate the dead.
The ancient well was very deep. The hawthorns fell into the well one by one, but there was no sound.
Just like the Middle Heaven Domain under the control of the mastermind, who knew how many humans had been swallowed in the past ten thousand years, but there was no sound or ripple.
"Master …" Seeing Lu Qingshan return, the two sisters hurriedly wiped away their tears and obediently walked to Lu Qingshan's side.
To them, Lu Qingshan, who had saved the two of them from the hands of the Demon Clan, was not only their master, but also their relative.
The two sisters didn't know much, but they knew that this matter was very dangerous. If Lu Qingshan continued to investigate, there might even be danger.
That was why they had never asked Lu Qingshan to take revenge for them. Instead, they wanted to rely on themselves to learn, and when they succeeded, they could rely on themselves to take revenge.
Lu Qingshan didn't say much. He only gently held the two sisters' small hands.
Since he had taken them in as disciples, even though it was only in name, from now on, the two sisters' matters were his matters.
As a master, it was his duty to make decisions for his disciples.
It was a very simple principle.
Xia Daoyun thought this way, and so did Lu Qingshan.
.....
Lu Qingshan flew through the sky on his sword.
The weather was especially clear today. There were no clouds in the sky, and a cool breeze blew.
With his speed, it didn't take long for Great Peace City's majestic city walls to appear before his eyes.
He lowered his altitude slightly.
He could vaguely hear the chirping of birds and the rustling of the trees.
Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Lu Qingshan frowned.
It was too quiet.
Great Peace City wasn't far away. How could there be no signs of life, no sounds of people?
It was as if the entire city had fallen asleep.
A bad premonition arose in his heart, and he instinctively felt an extremely strange and gloomy atmosphere.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but speed up. He flew into Great Peace City, and quickly circled around the city.
There wasn't a single person to be seen on the wide streets.
Occasionally, a few dogs would wander the streets, whimpering softly.
It was as if even they couldn't adapt to this scene.
In just a month, the originally bustling and lively Great Peace City had become an empty city.
Everyone in the city had disappeared.
What was going on?
An enormous question appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind.
He swept his gaze across the city.
There were no signs of a massacre, nor was there any damage from a riot. All the buildings were intact. The only exception was that all the people of Great Peace City had disappeared.
It was as if they had evaporated from the world.
Of course, they could not have truly evaporated. There had to be a reason.
Lu Qingshan thought of a possibility.
However, this possibility was too terrifying, so much so that Lu Qingshan subconsciously avoided it.
Many scenes flashed through his mind at this moment.
The bustling streets, the flow of people, the fresh air on the streets after the spring rain, the hawkers, and the man and woman who were kind enough to buy candied haws for Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu …
Now, they were all gone.
An enormous wave of sorrow rose in his heart.
"Master, what is going on?" Lin Chuyi also realized that something was wrong and asked in a small voice.
Lu Qingshan frowned deeply and was about to answer.
The next moment, under the empty Great Peace City, a circular ritual implement wrapped in a powerful aura suddenly shot toward them.
This circular Dharma Artifact contained an extremely powerful force. The surface of the Dharma Artifact had elemental energy attached to it, and streaks of lightning spread out.
He reacted quickly and controlled his flying sword to dodge to the right.
The ring turned into a lightning snake and pierced through where he had just been.
After missing, the lightning snake turned in the air and adjusted its direction. Its body expanded and pounced toward the three people again.
"There's an enemy in the Soul Transformation Realm." Lu Qingshan's expression was solemn. He did not want the lightning snake to get close to him.
Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu were only mortals without cultivation. In a battle of this level, they might be severely injured if they were even slightly affected.
With a thought, he quickly disengaged from his flying sword and controlled the flying sword to take the two sisters into the distance, avoiding the main battle.
At the same time, the blazing red Dragon Sparrow had already turned into a streak of crimson light and rushed out of his body. It circled and slashed toward the lightning snake formed by the circular ritual implement.
Dazzling light flowed on the Dragon Sparrow Sword. At high speed, it turned into a streak of lightning and fire, leaving a long tail. Large amounts of fire fell and crashed directly into the lightning snake.
Splat!
Purple light flashed on the lightning snake. Ripples of electricity appeared all over its body.
In the next instant, there was a flash of light and a deafening sword chime.
Bolts of lightning shot out from the lightning snake, but they were all destroyed by Lu Qingshan's Dragon Sparrow.
The Dragon Sparrow's sword chime shook the sky and dispersed the overflowing lightning. It slashed toward the lightning snake.
The lightning snake resisted with all its might. It erupted with brilliant and pure power and clashed with Lu Qingshan's Dragon Sparrow.
Accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, the lightning snake was finally unable to withstand the force and was scattered. It turned back into a circular ritual implement and flew downward.
Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged. He was extremely calm. Another streak of blue sword light shot out from his body. It was like a comet streaking across the sky. It was astonishingly fast, connecting heaven and earth as it chased after the circular ritual implement.
Once a ritual implement was destroyed, its owner would definitely choose to summon it back.
Thus, as long as one followed the circular ritual implement's trajectory, they would be able to directly attack the person who launched the sneak attack.
"How is this possible?" In a restaurant in Great Peace City, a slightly plump middle-aged cultivator wrapped in a black robe exclaimed in shock.
His eyes flashed with a ferocious light.
He was the one who launched the sneak attack just now.
Whoosh!
The circular ritual implement turned back extremely quickly. It didn't take long for it to return to the middle-aged cultivator's side.
However, his expression was extremely horrified.
Following closely behind his circular ritual implement was a streak of sword light!
Boom!
The streak of sword light carried an indomitable aura and directly blasted toward the restaurant where the middle-aged cultivator was.
The restaurant exploded in the air like a grand firework. Wood splinters and debris flew in all directions.
In the air, Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes.
This was because his Spiritual Sense had sensed that the moment his flying sword struck the restaurant, the middle-aged cultivator had suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
In the next moment.
A streak of black mist flashed and appeared below, charging at him.
In the black mist, the middle-aged cultivator's expression was dark.
He was certain that Lu Qingshan was only a realm five cultivator.
The difference between spirit power and essence power was too obvious and could not be faked.
However, the problem was that a cultivator of the fifth realm posed a threat comparable to a cultivator of the sixth realm.
This caused him to be incomparably shocked.
However, he did not feel much fear.
This was a sword cultivator. His physical body was extremely weak, much less a realm five cultivator.
He was a true realm six cultivator. As long as he got close, he was certain he could severely injure Lu Qingshan.
On the other side, facing the menacing middle-aged cultivator, Lu Qingshan was equally fearless.
He had always been one of the sword cultivators who was least afraid of close combat.
Indeed, with a sword cultivator's physical body, as long as he was hit, he would either die or be injured.
This was a problem that even Lu Qingshan could not overcome.
The Heavenly Dao was always fair.
Sword cultivators had the strongest killing power and the fastest flying sword. If they also had an invincible physical body and astonishing defensive power, who would cultivate Dharma? Who would cultivate their bodies?
They would have swarmed to cultivate their swords!
Therefore, close combat had always been an extremely risky way of fighting for sword cultivators.
Lu Qingshan's solution to this problem was also very simple.
Since it was dangerous to be hit, wouldn't it be fine if he did not get hit?
With a thought, a strange symbol appeared in his black eyes.
True Meaning of Karma. Mystical: Foresight.
At this moment.
Boom!
A blinding thunderbolt arrived even faster than the middle-aged cultivator's figure.
It suddenly struck out from the air.
The thunderbolt was extremely fast and caught him off guard.
Screech!
However, to the middle-aged cultivator's disbelief, Lu Qingshan was already holding the Dragon Sparrow in his hand. He slashed in the air, and waves of flames and Sword Qi appeared on his sword. As if he could predict the future, he struck out with his sword and struck the thunderbolt that had suddenly appeared.
The thunderbolt instantly dissipated.
The middle-aged cultivator's expression changed drastically.
Regardless of whether it was Lu Qingshan's reaction speed or the fact that he could easily defeat his Dharma spell with his Void Refinement realm cultivation base, he was deeply intimidated.
'Where did this demon come from? How can a Realm Five cultivator be so strong? 'Although the middle-aged cultivator was still pouncing forward, he was somewhat hesitant in his heart.
He was ordered to guard Great Peace City, and before … before that, he was to kill everyone who passed by Great Peace City to prevent the news of Great Peace City from leaking out prematurely.
When he saw Lu Qingshan appear, he was still silently mourning for Lu Qingshan in his heart.
What else could a Realm Five cultivator do other than die when facing his ambush?
In the end, after exchanging two blows in such a hurry, the middle-aged cultivator had fully realized that the sword cultivator in front of him was not simple.
It could even be said that in his thousand years of cultivation, he had never seen such a sword cultivator.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but the middle-aged cultivator still charged forward, charging towards Lu Qingshan.
— No matter what, he was a Late Deity Transformation cultivator. Facing a Void Refinement cultivator, he had no reason to retreat.
With a thought, dense arcs of lightning immediately swam around his body.
Purple lightning flashed.
His entire body turned into a ball of lightning with a diameter of more than ten meters.
The crackling sound of thunder continuously resounded.
The ball of lightning smashed towards Lu Qingshan with the force of ten thousand kilograms.
"Go!" Lu Qingshan only pointed a finger in the distance.
The River of Forgetfulness, which had just landed behind the middle-aged cultivator, immediately chased after him at a speed far greater than his. Like a swallow returning, it drew a ghostly trail in the air and shot towards the ball of lightning that he had turned into.
"Such a fast flying sword!"
The middle-aged cultivator naturally sensed this situation.
But his expression was calm and didn't react too much.
Everyone knew how fast a sword cultivator's flying sword was.
Against a sword cultivator, it wasn't realistic to try and avoid their flying sword, the only way was to meet them head-on.
He had full confidence in himself.
Boom!
A blinding blue sword slash flew across the sky, lingering for a long time without dissipating.
The sword slash instantly tore apart the lightning snakes on the surface of the ball of lightning, turning into a sharp arrow that kept going deeper and deeper.
There was a limit to one's strength.
When the River of Forgetfulness was only halfway to the middle-aged cultivator's body, it had already run out of strength.
He was an Ascended cultivator.
It was unrealistic to think that a single flying sword would be able to hurt him.
Lu Qingshan wasn't surprised by this.
"This move should be his trump card. Its power is indeed astonishing."
And in this short period of time, the middle-aged cultivator had finally gotten close to Lu Qingshan.
Of course, this was also the reason why Lu Qingshan didn't choose to retreat.
"Die!" the middle-aged cultivator's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, his aura had reached its peak.
His eyes reflected Lu Qingshan's figure and movements.
Facing such a ferocious attack, Lu Qingshan didn't even try to dodge, he only raised his wrist and swung his sword at him.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The middle-aged cultivator viciously thought.
This technique of his, in terms of impact and lethality, was extremely ferocious, how could a single sword block it?
Not to mention, he had already turned into a ball of lightning over 10 meters in diameter.
In front of him, Lu Qingshan's sword was as small as a toothpick.
Using a toothpick to poke chicken eggs, if that wasn't the immensity of heaven and earth, then what was?
"Secret Art, Heaven Suppression"
On the other side, Lu Qingshan lightly shouted in his mind.
The spirit energy in his body quickly surged out, instantly concentrating on the Dragonsparrow in his hand.
The Secret Art of Heaven Suppression with 15 times the power, Lu Qingshan's most powerful attack.
As the blazing red Dragonsparrow was swung out, the surrounding air was squeezed away, creating a shockwave that spread outwards.
The space around the sword had already become a vacuum zone.
The tip of the Dragonsparrow Sword sliced through the air, the sword light directly forming a long river, extremely spectacular, slashing towards the ball of lightning that the middle-aged cultivator had turned into.
At this moment, the Soul Formation cultivator, whose entire body was covered in terrifying lightning, suddenly widened his eyes in horror.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt!
The Dragonsparrow Sword Qi was like a vast river, vast and mighty, rushing through the sky full of lightning, shattering the terrifying arcs of lightning, easily disintegrating the destructive ball of lightning, then swept towards the middle-aged cultivator's head.
Whoosh!
The long river hung upside down, the Sword Qi crisscrossing.
Just like that, the mighty late-stage Soul Formation cultivator turned into a cloud of blood mist under Lu Qingshan's Dragonsparrow Sword.
He died instantly!
In the instant that the middle-aged cultivator perished, a voice rang out.
Somewhere under Great Peace City.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened.
"What? He died just like that?! "
