The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 691 - 689: Since you all came uninvited, then leave your lives behind!
Chapter 691: Chapter 689: Since you all came uninvited, then leave your lives behind!
A streak of golden light blasted out from the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom, reaching ten thousand miles away in the blink of an eye.
Standing atop a flying sword, Lin Bai ultimately sped off in the direction of the Shengyue Sect.
With a solemn look on his face, Lin Bai said, "I just don’t know if the Sect Leader and the rest have had any progress with Shengyue Sect..."
Shengyue Sect!
In the heart of the majestic Saint Moon Mountain range, a series of interconnected palace buildings stood.
Despite its being late at night, the Shengyue Sect was still brightly lit, shimmering with a striking white glow, resembling a heavenly blessed land. It was much like a jade palace lodged within the Moon Palace.
A group of tightly clad men in black robes appeared outside the Shengyue Sect.
This group of warriors was about a hundred strong.
All of them were covered in black robes, with only their eyes visible.
The man in black leading the group said, "We’re about to infiltrate the Shengyue Sect. Try not to startle anything, and if you must fight, take care not to show too much of Spirit Sword Sect’s sword skills to avoid detection."
"Remember, our goal this time is not to wage a war with Shengyue Sect, but to rescue Sword Xuan!"
"Once we rescue Sword Xuan, withdraw immediately!"
The voice was deep and powerful, resonating middle-aged vigor.
If Lin Bai were there to listen, he would have been able to confirm that the speaker was indeed Su Jiannan!
"Understood!" The other black-clad individuals responded simultaneously.
Su Jiannan said, "Qingxuan, you once infiltrated the Shengyue Sect under a false identity, so you know where the forbidden area is. Lead us there."
Another man in a black robe nodded, saying, "I know a secret pathway to the forbidden area that won’t raise suspicions. Follow me."
Once the words were spoken, Li Qingxuan disappeared into the night, swiftly heading toward the Shengyue Sect.
The terrain of Saint Moon Mountain range was complex. Even with Li Qingxuan’s guidance, the Spirit Sword Sect party had to painstakingly maneuver around to reach the core area.
Half an hour later!
Li Qingxuan led Su Jiannan and others closer to the forbidden area.
On the way, they bypassed many patrols of armed warriors.
The moment Li Qingxuan led the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect into Shengyue Sect, within a gloomy palace, an old man clad in a purple-gold robe was sitting cross-legged.
Right at that moment, his eyes suddenly sprung open, gazing upon the outside of the palace.
Following his gaze, he saw a fist-sized round bead within the Shengyue Sect’s forbidden area, lighting up a blinding glow.
"The Thousand Star Bead is glowing!"
"The Thousand Star Bead is connected to the Great Array of the Shengyue Sect; its glow signifies an intruder in the Shengyue Sect..."
As the Saint Moon Sect Master thought of this, he stepped out of the palace, and his power at the second layer of Human Elixir Realm was immediately unleashed.
In an instant, all the elders within the Shengyue Sect’s core area felt the Sect Master’s presence and rapidly flocked toward him.
In a moment, hundreds of elders already at the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm gathered before the Saint Moon Sect Master.
The Saint Moon Sect Master said, "’There are enemies inside the Shengyue Sect. Immediately arrange for the disciples to comb through."
"Yes!"
The elders of Shengyue Sect immediately scattered in various directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, three dull, heavy tolls of a bell echoed throughout the Shengyue Sect.
Suddenly, the entire Shengyue Sect was filled with jumbled noise.
Hearing the clamor in his ear, Su Jiannan asked, "Qingxuan, what’s going on?"
Upon hearing the three bell tolls, Li Qingxuan responded with a solemn look, "That’s the sound of the Heavenly Moon Bell of the Shengyue Sect. Three bell tolls indicates the invasion of enemies, mobilizing the entire Shengyue Sect’s disciples to counter the enemies!"
"Sect Master, we’ve probably been discovered."
Having previously infiltrated the Shengyue Sect, Li Qingxuan understood many of its regulations.
Su Jiannan’s face turned serious: "How far is it from the Forbidden Area?"
Li Qingxuan calculated the distance and said, "We should arrive in about quarter of an hour."
Su Jiannan pondered for a moment and said, "Regardless, since we are already here, we cannot back up any more. Qingxuan, take us at full speed to the Forbidden Area. Even if we have to fight to the death with the Shengyue Sect, we must save Jian Xuan!"
"Yes!" Li Qingxuan responded, flying swiftly ahead.
Before the Forbidden Area!
Li Qingxuan said, "Sect Leader, the cave ahead is where Brother Jian Xuan is being held!"
Su Jiannan exclaimed in surprise, "Good, let’s go!"
Just as a group of disciples from the Spirit Sword Sect were preparing to move.
Suddenly, a terrifying power descended from the sky, blocking their path.
"My friends, it’s a long journey from afar. Not announcing your arrival to the Shengyue Sect makes us hosts feel quite awkward," an old man dressed in a purple-gold robe descended from the sky, landing in front of Su Jiannan.
"The Shengyue Sect Master!"
Li Qingxuan recognized this man and cried out in surprise.
Su Jiannan recognized the old man. At a glance, he identified him as the Sect Leader Supreme of the Shengyue Sect.
Li Qingxuan asked, "Sect Leader, what should we do?"
Su Jiannan gritted his teeth, his eyes full of murderous intent. He said, "There is no other way, I will hold off the Shengyue Sect Master. You rush in!"
"Remember, after saving Jian Xuan, leave immediately, don’t wait for me!"
As he spoke, Su Jiannan took a Fourth-grade Spirit Weapon from his storage bag and rushed toward the Shengyue Sect Master.
Since he had come in secret, Su Jiannan couldn’t possibly use his own sword directly. So he specially brought a Fourth-grade Spirit Weapon from the Spirit Sword Sect to use as a disguise.
"Seeking death!" Seeing Su Jiannan rush over, the Shengyue Sect Master glared, delivering a fierce palm strike.
Two powers of the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer immediately exploded.
"Fighters of the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer! I believe you’re not just some nameless clown from Lingdong. So why not reveal your true identity!" After the Shengyue Sect Master clashed with Su Jiannan, he immediately spoke soberly.
The Shengyue Sect Master initially thought Su Jiannan was just an ordinary half-step Divine Pill Realm warrior. Who would have thought a Human Elixir Realm Second Layer warrior would sneak into the Shengyue Sect under such a guise?
Su Jiannan changed his voice, speaking in a hoarse voice: "Hmph, the Shengyue Sect, renowned as a prime sect that specializes in the methods of fist, sword, and knife, is someone I’ve long wanted to duel!"
Having said that, Su Jiannan began to fight the Shengyue Sect Master.
The two had equal Human Elixir Realm Second Layer strength. For the moment, neither could overcome the other.
But Su Jiannan deliberately didn’t use the Sword Skill of the Spirit Sword Sect while dueling, so he was somewhat suppressed by the Shengyue Sect Master!
"To the Forbidden Area!" ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Li Qingxuan shouted with a changed voice.
Swish, swish, swish——
A hundred shadows from the Spirit Sword Sect made a beeline for the Shengyue Sect’s Forbidden Area.
Seeing these black-robed people approaching, the Shengyue Sect Master immediately realized something was wrong: "Their target is the Forbidden Area!"
"Have they found the person in the Forbidden Area?"
"Not good!"
"Disciples of the Shengyue Sect, stop them!"
The Shengyue Sect Master roared fiercely. A group of warriors quickly swooped down from all directions, rushing toward the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect!
The faces of Li Qingxuan, Ji Bei, and Ji Bai all turned serious, their expressions very ugly.
"We’ve been stopped!" Li Qingxuan yelled to Su Jiannan.
Su Jiannan was shocked. Seeing that Li Qingxuan and the others bound for the Forbidden Area had been stopped, his face turned iron green.
The Shengyue Sect Master sneered, "Since you’ve come uninvited, you can leave your lives behind!"
