Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 180 Xu Hao, an Inner Disciple of the Great Luo Sword Sect

The Great Luo Sword Sect.

Inside the tranquil cave, Lin Che sat cross-legged with an indifferent expression, his blood-red energy spreading outwards like a raging torrent.

Xu Liguo stood not far away, looking at the location of the evil star, and thought to himself in surprise, "The killing intent within this evil star has become much stronger. It seems that he is only a day away from reaching the Yang Realm."

"Damn jinx... If I weren't completely unfamiliar with this place, I would have told Ling Tianhou everything about you."

Xu Liguo sat on the ground and pursed his lips, but then he thought that at least he would have meat to eat if he followed Lin Che.

After all, his strength has now reached the early stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, which is an incredible opportunity for someone who was originally only at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Junior Brother Wang Teng, are you still there?"

Just then, a clear voice came from outside the cave.

Lin Che slowly opened his eyes, completely suppressing Xu Liguo's murderous aura, and stepped out of the cave.

Xu Hao, an inner disciple of the Great Luo Sword Sect, stood there, looking at Lin Che with a smile, and said, "Junior Brother Wang Teng, I heard that you have just been promoted to an inner disciple. I have come here today to congratulate you."

Lin Che bowed slightly with an unchanging expression and replied indifferently, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother. I am currently still cultivating, so there is no need for such a banquet."

Xu Hao narrowed his eyes, looking at his junior brother Wang Teng in front of him, a strange emotion rising in his heart.

It should be noted that Xu Hao, as an inner disciple, had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Transformation realm, yet he still felt a slight sense of pressure from Lin Che.

With one hand behind his back, Xu Hao said with a half-smile, "Junior Brother Wang Teng, you don't know this, but the disciples of our Great Luo Sword Sect have always regarded the sword as the number one immortal. Our ancestor, Ling Tianhou, even fought against an immortal back then."

"If it weren't for the immortals' formidable strength, our ancestor would surely have been able to slay an immortal and become famous throughout the entire Kunxu Star Region."

Xu Hao raised his head with some pride, stepped forward, and continued, "I've heard that the East Sea Demon Spirit Activation will take place in a few years. Junior Brother, could you help me?"

Lin Che glanced sideways at Xu Hao beside him and asked indifferently, "The opening of the East Sea Demon Spirit that Senior Brother mentioned should have nothing to do with us disciples, right?"

"I've heard that the East Sea Demon Spirit will be challenged by the Twelve Sword Masters. Although we are inner disciples, we are not qualified to go to the East Sea Demon Spirit, are we?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Hehe, Junior Brother Wang Teng is indeed clever. We inner disciples are indeed not qualified to participate in this East Sea Demon Spirit Qualification, but if we can become one of the Twelve Sword Child, we will have a chance."

Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Lin Che couldn't help but recall Sun Lei from the Rain Immortal Realm. He figured the guy in front of him must be a cultivator from another star region, similar to Sun Lei, who was lurking in the Great Luo Sword Sect.

Lin Che showed no interest or excitement, and instead politely declined. Besides, the fewer people who knew about this, the better. Moreover, he had to become one of the Twelve Sword Chariots.

Seeing that the other party refused, Xu Hao frowned slightly, and a barely perceptible killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

However, Lin Che sneered inwardly. This kind of killing intent was extremely sensitive to him; he could sense even the slightest hint of it. Lin Che was just about to return to his cave when he thought that this guy might go all out, and if he were dragged into it, it would probably bring him unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Che stopped, glanced sideways at Xu Hao behind him, and asked softly:
"Senior Brother Xu Hao, how confident are you?"

"I'm about 80% sure."

Xu Hao's lips curled into a sinister smile as he lowered his voice and said, "Junior Brother Wang Teng, the Twelve Sword Masters may seem glamorous, but in reality, they are nothing more than fish on someone else's chopping block. It's better for us to strike first than to become fish on someone else's chopping block."

A ruthless glint flashed in Xu Hao's eyes as he coldly said, "As long as we eliminate two of them, we can become one of the Twelve Sword Spirits. Not only will we be able to control the secret of the East Sea Demon Spirit's activation, but we can also gain a foothold within the sect."

Lin Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked calmly, "Senior Brother, how do you plan to make your move? Each of the Twelve Sword Masters is exceptionally strong, and each of them is protected by an elder from their sect."

Xu Hao took out a yellowed map from his pocket, spread it out on the stone table, and pointed to several red dots on it, saying, "This is the daily training route of the Twelve Sword Masters. In three days, they will conduct a sword formation practice at Broken Sword Cliff."

"At that time, a large amount of sword energy will gather below the cliff, which will be the perfect opportunity to make a move. The terrain here is treacherous. As long as we set up a killing formation in advance and use puppetry to replace their identities, we can do it without anyone noticing."

"But puppetry requires the target's life essence as a catalyst. How can we obtain the life essence of the Twelve Sword Princes?"

Xu Hao smiled mysteriously and took out twelve jade bottles from his sleeve: "To be honest, junior brother, I was prepared. These jade bottles contain a trace of their aura. As long as we infiltrate their sword formation, we can take the opportunity to obtain their essence blood."

A greedy glint flashed in Xu Hao's eyes. "After this is done, we will not only gain the opportunity of the East Sea Demon Spirit, but also take control of the entire Great Luo Sword Sect."

Lin Che stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This plan is ingenious, but it is quite risky. During the sword formation practice, there will definitely be elders secretly monitoring us. Killing them will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Xu Hao patted Lin Che on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already contacted several like-minded fellow disciples. They will create chaos around the sword formation to attract the elders' attention. We will then take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the sword formation and complete the replacement."

"As long as we can become one of the Twelve Sword Chosen, the entire Kunxu Star Region will be ours in the future!"

Lin Che put one hand behind his back, looked at Xu Hao in front of him, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then I wonder what you will do after this, Senior Brother?"

"Kill." A cold glint flashed in Xu Hao's eyes, then he looked at Lin Che and immediately changed his expression: "Don't worry, junior brother, I won't lay a hand on you."

"I can't see through your strength, but you must be no ordinary person. If I were to attack you, I might just die."

"As for the others... kill them all, leave no one alive."

Lin Che remained calm, after all, the cultivation world was a place of survival of the fittest, and he had no feelings for the man in front of him.

Since they have no value to be exploited, it is natural to eliminate them to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble upon oneself.

Seeing that Lin Che had agreed, Xu Hao smiled and said, "In that case, we will go to Broken Sword Cliff in three days. After it is done, you and I will become the Twelve Sword Chariots."
