Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 191 The Power of the Qingyun Sect Sword Formation

In the ancient forest, an enormous, towering tree stands majestically.

The ancient tree's bare root, protruding from the earth, was several meters tall, and its trunk was of unknown thickness. Standing in one place and looking to the left and right, one could see the trunk continuously spreading out until it finally disappeared into the thick fog.

At this moment, before this enormous, towering tree, stood a gigantic, ferocious beast.

It was a colossal serpent over a hundred feet long, its entire body covered in jet-black scales, which shimmered faintly even in the mist.

However, at this moment, the giant snake appeared quite small in front of the towering tree, and there was no sense of oppression from the enormous object.

Beneath the tree, the Blackwater Serpent slowly came to a stop. Its enormous eyes gleamed with a chilling green light, which was terrifying. Its huge head swayed from side to side, its tongue flicking in and out, as if it had sensed something.

Even the hidden crowd held their breath, staring intently at the enormous, ferocious serpent before them.

In Wanrenwang's plan, this time, the Blackwater Serpent is of paramount importance and a crucial link.

The Blackwater Serpent has a long-standing feud with the Yellow Bird, who guards the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury. Wanrenwang believes that the Blackwater Serpent will definitely come to the Swamp of Death.

Firstly, the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is located atop the Jianmu tree, a divine tree that reaches the heavens, and is guarded by yellow birds. Ordinary spirit beasts find it difficult to ascend, and even if they do reach the top, it is inconvenient for them to fight.

Although Qingyun Sect has three great spirit beasts, the Kui Niu is clumsy and the Water Qilin is about the same. On the Jianmu tree, they are completely unable to fight against the spirit beast Huang Niao.

Only the Blackwater Serpent, being a snake, can climb trees to fight.

This is one of them.

Furthermore, Wanrenwang knows Zhang Xiaofan very well. Zhang Xiaofan has always believed in respecting the spirit of all things. The Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird have a grudge and will definitely want revenge. Zhang Xiaofan will never forcibly suppress it or forbid the Blackwater Serpent from coming to the Death Swamp.

The enmity between the Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird runs deep, and a fight between them would inevitably result in mutual destruction.

When that time comes, he can naturally reap the benefits of others' labor and capture the Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird at the same time.

With two spirit beasts entering the formation, the Four Spirit Blood Formation will be mostly complete. The remaining two are in Qingyun. If we cooperate with Fenxiang Valley, wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to launch a counterattack against Qingyun?
Wan Renwang stared intently at the Black Water Serpent, his eyes flashing with an eerie blood-red light.

"Hiss!!"

Whether the Blackwater Serpent sensed something or didn't notice anything, it flicked its tongue twice and then climbed up the incredibly thick trunk of the Jianmu tree.

As the Blackwater Serpent continued to crawl upwards towards the Jianmu tree, Wanrenwang's lips curled into a sinister and bloody smile.

"Azure Dragon, take your disciples and follow!"

After a short while, once the Blackwater Serpent had gone up, Wan Renwang gave instructions to the Azure Dragon.

After saying that, Wan Renwang took the lead and flew towards the Jianmu tree. Behind him, Qinglong Anzi sighed, raised his hand and waved, leading a group of core disciples of the Ghost King Sect to fly up.

Not long after Wan Renwang and the others left, several more figures flew over. They were several disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and the leader was Xiao Yicai.

As Xiao Yicai looked down at the muddy marks on the ground and frowned, Lin Jingyu suddenly spoke up.

"This is the Blackwater Serpent, a spirit beast under the command of the First Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yicai's expression turned slightly serious. He looked up at the seemingly endless Jianmu tree, took a deep breath, and was about to speak. However, the next moment, Xiao Yicai's expression changed slightly, because his breath had carried a strange, fishy stench.

"Fellow disciples, be careful! It's poisonous!"

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Qingyun Sect's top disciple, his reaction is really quick. No wonder the Qingyun Sect will let you lead the team on this trip."

As soon as Xiao Yicai finished speaking, a faint laugh came from within the thick fog. Immediately afterwards, Qin Wuyan, along with a group of Wan Du Men disciples and several other experts from the Demonic Sect, including Bai Duzi, emerged from the fog.

Qin Wuyan's words were truly scathing. Everyone knew that Zhang Xiaofan was the leader of the Qingyun Sect and even among the senior members of the righteous path.

Looking across the entire righteous path, apart from Dao Xuan Zhenren and Pu Hong Shangren, Zhang Xiaofan's prestige is unmatched.

In fact, in the hearts of countless people in the Central Plains of China, Zhang Xiaofan is a legendary immortal deity descended to earth, whose fame far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Even Xiao Yicai, who was regarded as the next successor to the sect leader, had to bow down to Zhang Xiaofan.

Of course, if it were ten years ago, when Zhang Xiaofan had just been appointed as the head of the Punishment Hall and was even highly valued by Dao Xuan Zhenren, and it seemed that Zhang Xiaofan was going to take charge of Qingyun, Xiao Yicai did feel jealous.

Although Xiao Yicai was a man of extraordinary skill, he was ultimately just an ordinary person, and naturally he also had his own desires and goals.

Over the past ten years, Xiao Yicai has come to admire Zhang Xiaofan to the extreme. He admires Zhang Xiaofan for his cultivation, his magnanimity, and his character.

In particular, Xiao Yicai knew even better that his junior brother, who had entered the sect later than him but whose cultivation far surpassed his own, had no desire for power.

"Little Poison God, there's no need to sow discord. Yi Cai's trip here is at the personal command of my master, to accompany the True Man and thwart the conspiracy of you remnants of the Demonic Cult!"

Xiao Yicai's answer was impeccable. After all, Dao Xuan Zhenren was the nominal head of Qingyun Sect. Even if he didn't manage affairs, Dao Xuan was still the one issuing the orders, so as not to give anyone cause for gossip.

As he spoke, Xiao Yicai also made a gesture to the others, and they all dispersed at the same time. Although their positions seemed loose, there was a mysterious connection between them.

In ten years, the Qingyun Sect has naturally undergone tremendous changes, especially in many Taoist techniques and sword skills.

Although Qingyun Sect is a Taoist sect, since the time of Patriarch Qingye, sword cultivation has been a prevalent practice, and this has become even more so with Zhang Xiaofan's rise to fame.

The Qingyun Sect of today can be called the Qingyun Sword Sect. Not only are their sword techniques unparalleled in the world, but they also possess many magical sword formations that can be formed by several disciples, or even dozens, hundreds, or thousands of disciples working together to create extremely powerful formations.

After sweeping his gaze over Qi Hao, Zeng Shushu, and the others, the Old Ancestor of Wind and Moon finally settled on Song Daren and said in a cold voice.

"Leave this disciple of Dazhu Peak to me!"

With that, the Old Ancestor of Wind and Moon sneered and raised his hand to attack Song Daren.

However, facing the attack of the Old Ancestor of Wind and Moon, Xiao Yicai, Wen Min and the others stepped forward together, and the next moment, the immortal swords in their hands all emitted streaks of sword light.

In the blink of an eye, several sword beams intertwined and formed a sword formation.

"Qiang!"

As the sound of the sword rang out, an astonishing sword aura was released. Fengyue Patriarch's expression changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand and retreated.
