Just as Lu Kun was sweeping through the caves, a furious roar came from a valley with rich spiritual energy in the south of Cang Zhou. The roar shook the fog in the valley.
Then, a purple-black light rushed into the sky and stopped above the valley for a while. Then, it shot straight in the direction of the Land of Death. Its speed was terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon.
Many cultivators in the valley saw this scene and showed a mixture of fear and reverence.
"It's the Ancestor!"
"The only Nascent Soul Stage Ancestor of our Nine Underworld Sect. His aura is too terrifying. I don't dare to move at all."
"Who dares to provoke a Nascent Soul Stage Ancestor?"
These disciples were discussing spiritedly. After seeing this aura, they all showed a yearning look.
The three Core Formation Stage cultivators who were in seclusion in the valley sensed what was happening outside and came out. They looked in the direction of the Nascent Soul Stage Ancestor and their expressions changed. They hurriedly called their disciples to inquire about the situation.
A day later, in the north of Cang Zhou.
At the top of the Sky Sword Peak, an old man with sword-like eyebrows sat cross-legged in a cave that was rich in spiritual energy. There was a hidden sword Qi on his body that gave people a feeling of extreme sharpness.
Moreover, the spiritual pressure on his body was terrifying. He was obviously a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
As if he sensed something, the old man with sword-like eyebrows opened his eyes and revealed a strange look. A green light flashed in his hand and a voice transmission talisman on the restriction outside the cave flew to him.
The old man scanned it with his spiritual sense and was surprised.
"The Nine Underworld Old Demon has actually left the sect. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Quickly inform Senior Brother."
After saying that, the old man turned into a sword light and shot out of the cave. After a while, he came to another cave on the top of the mountain that was even more abundant in spiritual energy.
As if knowing the old man's arrival, the restriction of the cave was opened and a voice full of energy came out. "Junior Brother, I already know about the matter. Come in."
The old man with sword-like eyebrows was stunned and then flew in.
He saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man sitting at the head of the hall. Although his appearance was very ordinary, his eyes were extremely bright, as if they contained sword light. The spiritual power in his body was extremely strong, much stronger than that of the old man with sword-shaped eyebrows.
This person was the Great Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Yue Longfei. He was the person that all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect worshipped the most. He reached the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of 20, the Core Formation Stage at the age of 100, and the Nascent Soul Stage at the age of 300. This kind of talent was something that few disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect could match.
Now, Yue Longfei had even reached the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. In the entire Wei Nation, only Old Demon Shi of the Miraculous Gate had a deeper cultivation than him.
However, as a sword cultivator, Yue Longfei's battle prowess was extremely high. Even Elder Stone, with his profound magic, was extremely wary of Yue Longfei.
When the old man with sword-shaped eyebrows saw Yue Longfei, he anxiously said, "Senior Brother Yue, the Nine Nether Old Demon has left the Nine Nether Sect. This is a good opportunity for the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Yue Longfei revealed a faint smile and said, "I also received the news. However, Junior Brother, do you know why the Nine Nether Old Demon left the sect?"
The old man with sword-shaped eyebrows shook his head blankly.
Yue Longfei's eyes flashed with a strange light. "My spy did not hesitate to use the Thousand Mile Talisman to send me a message. He said that the soul tablets of the three Core Formation Stage cultivators of the Nine Nether Sect shattered at almost the same time, including their only mid-stage Core Formation Stage cultivator."
When the old man with sword-shaped eyebrows heard this, his body trembled with excitement. He said with ecstasy, "Senior Brother, what are we waiting for? The spy is fine, which means that the Nine Nether Sect only has two Core Formation Stage cultivators."
"While they are so weak, we should quickly take action. We only need half a day to destroy the Nine Nether Sect. Even if the sects of the other prefectures rush over, it will be too late."
Yue Longfei's eyes flashed with sword light. He calmly said, "We have been planning for many years for this opportunity. Junior Brother Dugu, immediately arrange for the hundred Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to prepare the Thousand Spirit Sword Array."
"Also, inform all the Core Formation Stage cultivators to find me at the peak of the Heavenly Sword Peak. Since the Nine Nether Sect is so weak and the Nine Nether Old Demon is out alone, we might as well destroy this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator."
The old man with sword-shaped eyebrows said excitedly, "Yes, Senior Brother."
After he finished speaking, he turned into a sword light and shot out of the Heavenly Sword Peak.
Yue Longfei looked at the clouds outside the cave and muttered, "The Nine Nether Sect and my Heavenly Sword Sect's ten thousand year agreement has already passed a thousand years ago."
"This generation of the Nine Nether Sect has a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. If we attack, we will not be able to destroy them in a short period of time. Instead, it will cause other sects to come to the Cang Prefecture and interfere. Otherwise, my Heavenly Sword Sect would have destroyed them long ago. Why would we wait until now?"
"Now that Junior Brother Dugu has successfully condensed his Nascent Soul in another nation, with the sword array formed by me and a Core Formation Stage sword cultivator, even if the Nine Nether Old Demon is proficient in the Blood Escape Technique, he will not be able to escape."
"Moreover, I have already studied the flaws of the Nine Nether Demonic Technique."
It turned out that the old man with sword-shaped eyebrows was the original Core Formation Stage senior brother of the Heavenly Sword Sect. A hundred years ago, his cultivation had already reached the Perfected Core Formation Stage. Now, he had entered the Nascent Soul Stage without anyone knowing.
Then, Yue Longfei's expression became a little heavy.
"It is said that Old Demon Shi of the Miraculous Gate is in seclusion to break through to the Advanced Stage. If he fails, it will be fine. If he succeeds, then the Miraculous Gate's ambition will spread to the entire Wei Nation."
"Only by unifying the Cang Prefecture and monopolizing the resources of the Cang Prefecture can the Heavenly Sword Sect increase its strength. With enough resources, not only will my Martial Nephews have a greater chance of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, my cultivation will also improve."
"When the time comes, even if Old Demon Shi breaks through, with the Heavenly Sword Sect as the leader, we will have no need to fear the Miraculous Gate."
Just as Yue Longfei was thinking, over ten people broke through the air from outside. He said in a low voice, "Come in, all of you."
"Yes, Great Elder!"
The ten cultivators outside walked in with serious expressions. Their Martial Uncle Dugu had already briefly explained the situation and knew that they were going to wage war against the Nine Nether Sect.
In order to prevent the other sects from interfering, they had to end the battle quickly this time.
All the resources of the Cang Prefecture belonged to the Heavenly Sword Sect ten thousand years ago. Now that the alliance had lost its effectiveness, they could only destroy the Nine Nether Sect that refused to leave.
…
After another two days, a purplish black light appeared in the One-Line Sky of the Land of Death. When the light reached the chaotic stone forest, it stopped. The spiritual light dissipated, revealing an extremely ugly and skinny old man.
He took out three square magic tokens. Spiritual light flashed in his hand and the originally dim black spiritual light on the tokens suddenly brightened.
The skinny old man said with an ugly expression, "It seems that this is the place. It has the last breath of Ni Xiao and the others."
Then he looked at the strange stone forest in front of him.
"No wonder it took me three days to find this place. It turns out that there was an ancient restriction interference. Hmm? It was caused by a restriction conflict."
With the knowledge of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and the strange collapse of the stone walls on both sides, he immediately determined the cause.
He frowned and said, "Could it be that Ni Xiao and the others happened to encounter the explosion of the ancient restriction and were destroyed by it? How could it be so coincidental?"
However, when the old man released his divine sense to check the surroundings, he shook his head.
