Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1274 - 182: Ancient Tree Cave Heaven

A loud explosion erupted at the Heavenly Peak.

Countless black streaks of light burst like fireworks, shooting out and scattering, then falling like a heavy downpour!

Rumble, rumble.

In an instant, the entire Grotto Heaven was shaken by this overwhelming Powerful Energy. The ancient trees trembled, the great marsh swayed, and the eagle, snake, ape, and deer were all startled.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!"

The piercing scream came from outside the Grotto Heaven.

The one responsible for guarding the entrance of the Grotto Heaven was a transformed Deer Demon. At this moment, it clutched its chest and stumbled towards the ancient tree to raise the alarm with all its might.

In its chest was a slender and sharp black arrowhead!

The next moment.

The sound of something piercing through the air was heard again.

A second arrowhead shot in from outside the Grotto Heaven, tearing through the void, and pierced through the Deer Demon’s back, knocking it to the ground!

"!!!"

Those gathered under the ancient tree to discuss the sealing of the Grotto Heaven instantly had their expressions turn grim.

An enemy attack?

Why is it happening right now, of all times?!

"Is it Xie Xuanyi?!"

The Eagle Falcon Demon’s first reaction was that the Communication Order exposed their location.

"No... that’s not right!"

Xin Ning said with a somber face, manipulating a talisman to project the image of the scene outside the Grotto Heaven.

View this.

Over twenty Iron Cavalry were lined up in a long formation, launching an assault on the talisman formation of the Grotto Heaven.

Leading them was the second son of the Marquis Yuanping of the Li Kingdom, "Huang Che," who had been repelled by Xin Rui earlier.

However, this time.

Huang Che was not alone.

Beside him stood a tall figure in Black Armor, appearing young in age but exuding a much more steady and mature demeanor.

"Is it the people from Li Kingdom?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Xin Rui’s small face turned pale.

Though she had recklessly intervened to save the Tiger Demon earlier, the disguise of the Ghost Pond Array Patterns was nearly flawless, and logically, there should have been no flaw for others to notice.

"The big tiger was caught."

Xin Ning spoke hoarsely.

The image projected by the talisman rotated and locked onto the tall young man in black armor, who was clad in Heavy Armor, holding a Great Halberd in one hand and clutching a bloody, massive tiger pelt in the other. Outside the Grotto Heaven, snow swirled, and the tiger pelt was still steaming as if it hadn’t been skinned long ago.

The Ancient Tree Cave Heaven has its rules.

One must either have practiced within the Li Lan Mountain Territory for a long time or have reached a certain realm to enter this Grotto Heaven.

After the outbreak of the southern and northern war.

Many Demon Spirits wandered to this place, and to enter this territory, they at least needed to reach "transformation." The big tiger that Xin Ning had rescued previously was just a little short of reaching that level. According to the rules of the Ancient Tree Cave Heaven, this big tiger should be able to move into the Grotto Heaven after another six months of practice.

"Damn it."

The Eagle Falcon Demon flapped its wings and said anxiously, "Why did it have to happen right at this critical moment?"

Although anxious, there was no blame in its tone.

The rules are dead, but demons are alive.

Logically, with the Iron Cavalry searching outside, Xin Ning should have made an exception to bring the big tiger into the Grotto Heaven.

But the owner of this Grotto Heaven is not him.

Nor is it Elder Diao.

It is... this giant tree towering into the clouds!

This Grotto Heaven, though rich in Primordial Energy, also has layers of restrictions. No one knows how long this ancient tree has existed or grown. Even Elder Diao, who has been practicing in the Grotto Heaven the longest, in terms of age, is only akin to a leaf on this ancient tree.

All beings in this Grotto Heaven depend on the ancient tree for life.

Therefore, the "rules" dictated by the will of the ancient tree became ironclad laws.

The Tiger Demon cannot move in without reaching the necessary realm.

"The Tao Realm was initially condensed, Half-step Yin God..."

The Eagle Falcon Demon frowned and said, "He looks so young, yet his realm is so high? These Iron Cavalry are almost all Cave Heaven Realm... where did these people come from?!"

"This is the elite force directly under the Crown Prince of Li Kingdom," Xin Ning replied.

"Nothing more than that."

The Great Ape snorted coldly, "Half-step Yin God Realm, I can go out to confront them. Elder Diao, as long as someone provides cover for me, I can drive that brat Huang Che away in less than half an incense stick’s time!"

"This matter is not that simple."

Xin Ning quickly said, "Among these Iron Cavalry, there is also a truly troublesome individual who has yet to appear... either on the way or already here, deliberately hiding his presence and watching the situation unfold!"

That truly troublesome individual... is Marquis Yuanping, Huang Hao!

These few days, the Great Li Iron Cavalry’s scour through the Li Lan Mountain Range alarmed the secluded Xin Ning.

He spied through the talismanic technique and came to a preliminary understanding of the strength of these Iron Cavalry.

"The Marquis Yuanping of the Da Li Dynasty has long reached the Yin God Realm and is famous for his bravery... back when I served as a garrison commander, he was already a key surveillance target on the Da Chu Dynasty’s Sandalwood Clothes Guard list."

Xin Ning gritted his teeth, "Elder Diao, going out to meet the enemy is a last resort. We’ve already been targeted by these people. The best choice is to activate the Mountain Sealing Great Array and directly cut them off!"

This Ancient Tree Cave Heaven is vast and majestic.

Externally, there is more than one talisman entrance, and what Huang Che and Huang Qi are attacking is just one of them.

If we’re willing to sever it.

Then...

The entrance to the Grotto Heaven can be sealed, and everything can still be salvaged!

However, activating the Sealing Mountain Great Array means sacrificing the outermost Grotto Heaven.

The Primordial Energy of this Grotto Heaven would also be significantly diminished.

"Old Xin!"

The Great Ape angrily refuted, "How can we retreat without a fight? We have lived in seclusion in the Li Lan Mountain for many years, though we don’t engage with worldly affairs. But now that we’ve been attacked at our doorstep, if we just hand over the outer Grotto Heaven, what if those people don’t leave? If Marquis Yuanping continues to raid with these Iron Cavalry and finds the talisman entrance to the internal Grotto Heaven, what will we do then?"
