Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

The effect of Yu Xiangke's intervention was immediate.

The Guanlan Sword Maiden, who was already at her limit, was completely unharmed after being enveloped in the wind, but the demonic cultivators around her died instantly upon contact.

After rescuing Guanlan Sword Lady, Yu Xiangke didn't stop and pointed towards Elder Chen's direction.

The next moment, dozens of small gusts of wind descended from the sky and landed around Elder Chen.

The windball landed, but it did not cause any damage to the ground. Instead, it created a hurricane ripple that spread in all directions!

The ripples spread, and even the demonic cultivators who were slow to dodge suffered the same fate.

Wherever the ripples reached, the demonic cultivators suffered severed bones and tendons without any chance of survival.

A moment later, several leg posts were left around Elder Chen... As for their owners, those who could run away did so, while those who couldn't were writhing on the ground in pain.

Elder Chen, who was at the center of this ripple, was unharmed. The ripples from the explosions of the small wind clusters actually touched each other and formed an absolutely safe and balanced space.

The ability to control this power is truly astonishing.

Finally, Yu Xiangke pointed a finger at the three Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators who had begun to flee when they sensed the situation was not good...

The next moment, three sharp gusts of wind split off from his fingertips and shot towards the three of them.

The three of them also split up and fled, instantly turning into black light and disappearing.

The three sharp gusts of wind also pursued after it, but it was unclear whether they would be able to hit their target.

Su Baichen could see clearly that the Yu Xiangke's main purpose in doing this was to drive them away, and he didn't care about the minor injuries or deaths at all.

It seemed that driving away the demonic cultivators lying in ambush for Changchun Palace was a trivial matter, not worth his extra effort to pursue lethality.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Seeing that the danger had passed, Su Baichen quickly bowed and thanked him.

The man from Yuxiang waved his hand and smiled, "Don't forget this is a transaction, no need to thank me."

Before Su Baichen could answer, Xuan Ding Zhenren, Guanlan Jian'ao, and Elder Chen all surrounded him, saying, "Thank you for your help, senior." x3

Yu Xiangke said, "If you want to thank someone, thank this child. He agreed to one of my requests, which is why I helped you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped into the sky and disappeared.

Everyone was momentarily stunned before Xuan Ding Zhenren finally came to his senses: "Bai Chen, I sent you to seek help, and you actually brought this senior here?"

Su Baichen said in a rather good mood, "This disciple knows that saving lives is like putting out a fire. Although I have already sent my eldest brother to find Master, I am afraid that my senior uncle and the two junior uncles may have encountered some mishaps, so I also asked Senior Yu Xiangke for help."

Master Xuanding sighed, "It's fortunate you managed to get this senior's help, otherwise Junior Sister Guanlan would have been in danger..."

Guanlan Sword Maiden, who had been silent until now, took a deep breath and said, "Bai Chen, thank you so much for bringing the senior to our aid in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Guanlan Sword Maiden was not the kind of extreme sword cultivator, so she understood her own situation.

She paused, then said solemnly, "Consider it a debt I owe you."

Su Baichen quickly said, "What are you saying, Uncle-Master? You taught me swordsmanship before, which is a great kindness in passing on your knowledge and skills. I am the one who owes you so much..."

Master Xuanding chuckled and said, "Alright, stop arguing like this. We know what we're doing."

As expected, Guanlan Jian'ao said no more.

Elder Chen, who had been silent, patted Su Baichen's shoulder heavily, conveying a sense that everything was understood without words.

Master Xuanding then asked, "Just now, you said you agreed to one of his requests... What was it?"

Su Baichen said, "The senior asked me to change the status quo of the court... Of course, he didn't force me to do it, he just asked me to try."

Guanlan Sword Maiden was alarmed: "How can this be? This involves a huge karmic consequence; if we're not careful, we'll be tainted with boundless negative karma!"

Master Xuanding gestured to stop Guanlan Sword Woman from continuing, took a deep breath and said, "This matter requires further consideration. Let's go and rescue those kidnapped children first."

Only then did Su Baichen realize that there were children who had been captured in the mountains.

Yes, these demons lured the elders of Changchun Palace here under the guise of the "Sacrifice of a Hundred Children".

They hurriedly headed towards a valley.

These villains didn't ambush their prey upon reaching their destination; they attacked them en route.

It wasn't that the demonic cultivators were unwilling to use the hundred children as hostages, but rather that they felt these Changchun Palace disciples must have been prepared for battle upon arriving in this valley. Rather than that, they thought it better to launch a surprise attack halfway through.

They did succeed at first; the three cultivators from Changchun Palace were immediately separated from the battlefield and had to face the enemy's superior forces alone.

In fact, if the three elders were together, with Elder Chen's ability to withstand attacks and fight, and Xuan Ding Zhenren's all-around ability to withstand attacks, fight, and provide support, plus Guan Lan Jian Ao's sharp attacks... the sum of the three would be far greater than three, and it's really hard to say who would have the upper hand.

They arrived outside the cave. Su Baichen shuddered and turned to ask, "Senior Uncle, are you kidding me?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanding closed his eyes and shook his head.

Similar expressions appeared on the faces of Guanlan Sword Maiden and Elder Chen.

They were all cultivators who had already cultivated their primordial spirits; with a sweep of their divine senses, they naturally knew what the cave was like.

Su Baichen took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

His intuition conjured up images in his mind...

Corpses lay piled upon each other, blood flowing into the pool.

Those hundreds of boys and girls were brutally murdered inside the cave!

"Who...did this?"

He opened his eyes, his breathing somewhat unsteady.

He shouldn't have gotten so carried away, but accepting the inheritance of the Soul-Suppressing Sword also meant that he had developed an emotional resonance with the soul of his ancestor.

The ancestors fought against the ancient evil spirits, and each of them may have had different reasons and motivations.

However, after so many years, the ancestors in the Soul-Suppressing Sword have long since purified their own thoughts.

They are angry because the ancient evil spirits slaughtered human children, preventing their offspring from sleeping and forcing them to grow up in fear and tears.

They went to the battlefield and gave their lives so that the children of humanity could grow up safely.

Therefore, this anger can also be described as the anger of a guardian, anger born of great love.

When the ancestral spirits discovered the corpses of the children through Su Baichen's senses, they were enraged.

The Soul-Suppressing Sword on his back began to pulsate.

A surge of fighting spirit began to assault Su Baichen's mind, making him feel a rush of hot blood and a desire to unleash a thorough and exhilarating slaughter.

He knew who to cause trouble for.

"What are we going to do with these children...?"

He suppressed the surging passion within him and asked the question.

Elder Chen said, "I will do it. I will collapse this mountain to bury this cave and let this mountain serve as the grave for these children."

Su Baichen nodded and said, "That's fine, but their families probably won't know where to pay their respects in the future."

The earth trembled and rumbled.

The mountain collapsed, burying bones in mud and rocks.

Su Baichen waited silently for Elder Chen to finish his operation before asking, "Senior Uncle, shall we go back now?"

Just then, a jade talisman flew over.

After receiving the package, Master Xuanding paused slightly before saying, "The support from home has arrived. You should go back first. We still have some things to do after we reunite with everyone."

When Master Xuanding spoke, his eyes were blazing with anger, and his intention to "fight back" couldn't be clearer.

Su Baichen couldn't help but chuckle. No wonder Yu Xiangke called Xuan Ding Zhenren a "brute."

But separating like this is exactly what Su Baichen wanted!
