Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 136 A Terrifying Reputation (55th Update)

These beasts from the underworld are clearly trying to run away!
He quickly activated his demonic power, unleashing a raging inferno of demonic flames.

With the elites of the six sects gathered, how could the Huangquan Dao cultivators possibly resist if they had no intention of fighting back?
He immediately led his demon clan and retreated towards the Abyss of Corpses.

Fu Xiao narrowed his eyes: "Disciples of the six sects, listen to my command: leave behind the Yellow Springs Path demonic cultivators!"

Compared to the local demon races who have a keen eye, the six sects are more eager to exterminate these Yellow Springs Path demon cultivators who have suddenly appeared in Changping.

At this moment, several Foundation Establishment cultivators made their move simultaneously!

Countless magical artifacts and spells poured down upon the demonic cultivators of the Yellow Springs Path!

Without hesitation, Liu Ciming unleashed his spiritual power, pushing the three Qi Refining stage Yellow Springs Dao cultivators out of the light barrier.

"Uh... ah..."

The three Qi Refining stage cultivators looked terrified, their mouths stiffly open, and a few hoarse sounds rolled out from their throats.

“Uncle-Master Liu…”

Irregular growths and bulges began to appear on their foreheads, cheeks, and necks.

It was as if something was wriggling beneath his skin and blood vessels.

boom! ! !
In the darkness, a blinding flash of blood appeared, followed by a deafening explosion that echoed throughout the entire Shiguping area.

The roar was like a surging tide, spreading wildly in all directions.

The attack from the six sects cultivators, which came like a tidal wave, was neutralized.

As the roar and dust gradually dissipated, the figures of the group of Yellow Springs Path demonic cultivators had vanished without a trace.

The teleportation talisman was of a very high grade, indicating that they had made preparations in advance.

"Humph!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Shen Yu led the Xuan Yuan Sect cultivators away from Shigu Ping.

If it weren't for the presence of external enemies, he would have wanted to leave long ago!

Now that the demons have all gone, I certainly don't want to stay any longer.

Next, we went to Mount Suspended Sword.

Song Yan had already returned to Xu Ziqing's side. Elder Xu looked him up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

Anyone who dares to kill a Xuan Yuan Sect disciple in full view of everyone must be a promising talent!

Several masters from Huadu Temple are already chanting sutras to help the souls of the deceased find peace.

Elder Fu Xiao, as the current person in charge here, began to arrange the follow-up matters.

"Yuzhen, go and summon the Prefect of Changping."

"The rest of the families, take inventory of casualties, and return to Changping County to recuperate!"

"Yes, elder."

……

Logically, now that the demonic cultivators have left and the events in Changping have come to an end, it should be a time of ease for the cultivators of the six sects to exchange for treasures.

However, the Xuan Yuan Sect is not like that.

Shen Yu cited the reason that "the urgent task in Changping has been completed" as the reason for no longer participating in any work.

He also ordered his disciples to complete all the handover of affairs within a day, including exchanging treasures.

A day later, both the Elders' Council and the Nursing Home were deserted.

They did not participate in the memorial service held by Lianhuadu Temple for the monks.

Before his departure, Shen Yu had a private conversation with several elders of Xuanjian Mountain.

As for the content of their secret talks, only the parties involved would know.

Xu Ziqing remained calm and composed, joining forces with Cong Yuzhen of the Sheyang Sect to oversee the various matters related to the aftermath of the Changping incident.

The two factions joined forces to wipe out the remaining demonic traces, appease the surrounding mortals, and take over the Shiguping Ruins.

Huadu Temple and Lingfu Sect also contributed.

Because the Changping campaign ended much earlier than planned, the battle merits can only be distributed according to the settlement after the current round ends.

This is a good thing for the vast majority of disciples.

This saves you months of stationing yourself and allows you to get the treasures you want to exchange for.

Song Yan is no exception. Now, in addition to exchanging battle merits for Breakthrough Pills, he can also exchange them for small items such as Spirit Refining Pills and Refining Cloud Iron.

During his stay in Changping, rumors about him have been circulating everywhere.

The story of him shooting Shen Huai and then beheading him with a single sword strike was embellished. Among many Qi Refining cultivators, rumors circulated that Song Yan of the Dongyuan Sect was "abusing and killing fellow cultivators and was bloodthirsty by nature."

He is truly a righteous scoundrel with a chillingly demonic aura!
Some say that he was not only ruthless, but also did not hesitate to destroy the opportunity of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator in order to seize the treasure, thus ruining the fortune of the Chu Kingdom cultivators.

He also seemed to have become a selfish and insane person.

However, some monks who were present that day defended him.

It is said that the Xuan Yuan Sect failed to seize the treasure and instead lost a disciple, truly losing both his wife and his army.

Now they're secretly smearing Song Yan; they're so petty.

The disciples of Huadu Temple and Lingfu Sect did not participate much in this dispute of rumors, but privately, their opinions on Song Yan were somewhat polarized.

Some people think he is calm and decisive, while others criticize him for being "too aggressive".

However, regardless of how the cultivators of the six sects judged these rumors, all the Qi Refining cultivators shared a common understanding.

The disciples of Dongyuan Sect act without restraint, and this fellow Daoist Song is extremely skilled in killing.

If there's nothing to it, it's best not to provoke them.

……

Despite all the rumors and gossip from the outside world, Song Yan himself did not take any special action.

He was sitting inside the house, with a boat lying across his lap and his eyes closed.

Only now did he have the time to carefully sense his natal flying sword.

Beneath the Zhendao Sword Mansion, a small black and white sword hung above the tender sprout of the sword dao seed.

Its shape is exactly the same as that of a sword.

Perhaps it's because I've gotten used to using the Unmoored Boat that I've come to regard it as my natal flying sword.

It's really going against the natural order.

Today, Song Yan has grasped the essence of swordsmanship, and his natal flying sword is finally complete.

He has truly embarked on the path of ancient sword cultivation and can now be called a "sword cultivator".

The understanding of sword intent has driven many things forward.

Once the natal flying sword was formed, the seed of swordsmanship began to sprout, and the spiritual power cultivation within the body was also pushed forward by a large margin.

"I just don't know if such a good thing will happen again in the future."

The remaining sword techniques and stances recorded in the various sword techniques and essentials of swordsmanship can also be put on the agenda.

The Cloud Sword technique has reached its peak; it's time to explore new methods and moves.

Firstly, among the various sword techniques, besides the Hidden Sword and Spirit Concealing Technique, there are two other techniques recorded.

They are "Immortal Swordplay Technique" and "Sword-Wielding Observation Technique".

The "Immortal Swordplay Technique" records a movement technique and an escape technique.

One sect is called Lingyunyi, and the other is called Youtaixu.

Song Yan glanced at it briefly. The latter was a sword technique that allowed the user to become one with the sword and fly away quickly. It was very suitable for chasing down enemies or escaping.

However, to cultivate this secret technique, one must at least reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

So they gave up for the time being.

The effect of Lingyunyi is similar to that of the Wind Escape Talisman, which allows one to control the flow of sword energy around the body, making one's movements faster.

Of course, it wasn't specifically designed for traveling.

In combat, movements become more agile, hence this type of swordsmanship is labeled "body technique".

The "Sword-Based Observation of Heaven's Power" technique records two special spells.

One of them is the embodiment of swordsmanship, which also requires the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate, so Song Yan will skip it for now.

The other is a pupil technique.

"Observing Void Sword Eyes..."

Below its name, there is only one line of small print as a brief introduction.

"To see through illusions and dispel falsehoods, to observe the wind and seek out gaps..."

"Kill the enemy with a single sword strike."

I'm not going to live anymore. Volume 1 is about to end. The explosion is about to begin!
