Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 266 Trust the Sect Leader Once Again

"They just showed up briefly and left?"

Lu Chaoding felt that much of his glory had been stolen.

He was somewhat annoyed and wanted to chase after Xuan Sha Zhenjun, but after taking two steps, he turned back.

"Qing Lingzi!"

Lu Chao landed in front of Qing Lingzi, the sect leader of Hongchen Sword Sect, who looked listless and had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He glanced at Lu Chao and asked, "What does this boy intend to do?"

"A child?"

Upon hearing this address, Lu Chaoding's face darkened.

"You have eyes but can't recognize Mount Tai! Do you even know who I am? How dare you call yourself a brat!"

"Hmph!" Qing Lingzi said, "You brat, aren't you Lu Chaoding, the head of the Reliable Sword Sect?"

"You actually know my name!" Lu Chaoding was slightly surprised, then said, "Enough of this small talk, this sect leader needs to borrow your Hongchen Immortal Sword!"

After saying that, Lu Chaoding reached out and grabbed the Hongchen Immortal Sword.

The sword was still floating above Qing Lingzi's head, its blade radiating a dazzling light.

"How dare you! This is our sect's most treasured sword, a six-star artifact, and you dare touch it!"

Qing Lingzi was shocked and tried to stop Lu Chaoding, but he couldn't. The Demon Heaven Formation was broken, and he suffered a backlash. Just as he was about to act, his chest heaved violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

In just a short while, Lu Chaoding had already seized the Hongchen Immortal Sword.

This is a six-star weapon with special usage restrictions; it cannot be wielded by anyone other than the Hongchen Sword Sect.

However, Lu Chaoding did not intend to use this magic sword. The reason he wanted to take the sword was because it was the key to Li Hongtian's escape.

Li Hongtian was the previous host of the unreliable system. He had too much fun and was punished by the system, trapped in the Qiankun Universe Furnace of the Hongtian Secret Realm, playing the role of an NPC.

Under normal circumstances, Li Hongtian could escape by simply bringing the Hongchen Immortal Sword into the Hongtian Secret Realm and using it to destroy the Qiankun Universe Furnace.

However, the unreliable system altered his mission. Now, if he uses the Hongchen Immortal Sword to shatter the Qiankun Universe Furnace, Li Hongtian will not be born.

Lu Chaoding is still unsure how to rescue Li Hongtian, so he plans to get his hands on the key items first and then study them later.

After easily acquiring the Hongchen Immortal Sword, Lu Chaoding had an idea and went to collect the Daluo Immortal Sword and the Qinglian Sacred Sword.

These two swords are the prized possessions of the Great Luo Sword Sect and the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, and are connected to many important plot points.

The current state of Sang Jueshen, the sect leader of the Great Luo Sword Sect, and Li Shier, the sect leader of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, is similar to that of Qing Lingzi. Lu Chaoding can almost be said to have picked up these two top-tier weapons from their side.

This angered many players and NPCs below the black stone platform. Soon, some shouted out, and some even rushed onto the platform, intending to harm Lu Chao.

"Who dares to make a move!"

Ye Longxing, Xiang Ruyan and others rushed onto the platform and stood guard beside Lu Chaoding.

In fact, Ye Longxing and the others came to the Demon Heaven Secret Realm to rescue the Heavenly Demon, but they also wanted to join forces with the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect to fight their way through the secret realm and eliminate the experts of the three major sword sects.

This is the perfect opportunity to start a war.

Although the three major sword sects have many experts besides their sect leaders, Lu Chao's presence gave Ye Longxing and the others great confidence.

The atmosphere on the scene immediately became extremely tense.

But at that moment, Lu Chaoding said, "You guys fight, I'm leaving. I'm going to chase after True Monarch Xuan Sha!"

After saying that, Lu Chaoding's figure disappeared immediately, as he used his sword eye to project a mental clone elsewhere.

"Um?"

"The sect leader has left?"

"War is about to break out, why is the sect leader leaving so soon?"

"Is the sect leader trying to run away? Did he send us to cover their retreat?"

"Regardless, the situation is now irreversible; we have no choice but to act. Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"I was so naive to think the sect leader would actually intervene this time!"

"Our sect leader is really unreliable!"

"Let's lay our cards on the table, brothers of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect. We're in this together, let's take down the three great sword sects..."

Amidst the discussions, the battle broke out, and battle flags were quickly raised.

It is worth mentioning that after the battle began, Master Niu also rushed over.

This guy is here to seek revenge on Qing Lingzi.

Despite his rough and careless appearance, he was actually shrewd and even cunning. He carefully concealed himself and eventually took advantage of the chaos to carry away Qing Lingzi, the sect leader of Hongchen Sword Sect.

That Qing Lingzi was also unlucky. A peak expert at the peak of the realm was severely injured by the backlash of the Demon Heaven Formation and almost became a cripple.

As for Lu Chaoding, he used his sword eyes to probe the surroundings and kept sending out mental clones, but after sending them out more than ten times, he still lost track of Xuan Sha Zhenjun.

"What is this Xuan Sha Zhenjun up to? Why is he bringing the Heavenly Demon with him? What is his purpose...?"

Lu Chao was very confused, but no one could answer his questions.

After wandering aimlessly for half a day, Lu Chaoding returned to the Demon Heaven Secret Realm.

The proper entrance to the Demon Heaven Secret Realm is located beneath Thunder Lake in Tianyun Prefecture. It is actually quite hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter.

When Lu Chaoding returned to the black stone platform, the battle was over.

"Holy crap, Sect Leader! The battle's already over and you're only just arriving!"

"Where did you go, Sect Leader?"

"Sect Leader, I think you're doing this on purpose..."

Many players gathered around Lu Chao, teasing and joking with each other.

Let's take a brief look at Lu Chaoding.

Our reliable sword sect, in alliance with the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect, won this battle!

The three major sword sects suffered heavy losses, with many NPCs and players dying, and the sect leader of the Hongchen Sword Sect even disappearing in the chaos.

Of course, the Reliable Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect also suffered losses, with many players and NPCs dying in the process.

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble. If I had known this would happen, I should have wiped out those three great sword sects earlier, so you wouldn't have suffered such a pointless loss."

Lu Chao sighed, "Alright then, I'll go to the strongholds of the three great sword sects and raze them to the ground!"

"real?"

"Would this sect leader lie?"

"When do we leave?"

"Now's the time... Just you wait and see, get ready for the server-wide announcement!"

Lu Chao was wearing a confident expression, but suddenly, he noticed a figure appearing in the distance.

The man wore a tall crown and a yellow robe, and had a gloomy face; he was none other than the treacherous prince.

Lu Chaoding recognized him immediately, his brows furrowing as he recalled Xuan Sha Zhenjun's warning.

"Are those top-tier bosses really coming to hunt me down? They'll harm my family and friends..."

Lu Chaoding's mind raced. In the Hongchen Sword Realm, he dared not be as fearless as he was in other game worlds, still worried about implicating reliable sword sects. Therefore, Lu Chaoding made a decisive move, quickly flying to the Ghost Prince and shouting, "What's your name? Which faction are you from? Do you dare to come to a spacious place and fight me for three hundred rounds?"

The cunning prince, a sinister smile etched on his face, said, "Child of Transcendence, cooperate and come with me!"

"Where to?" Lu Chao asked.

"The World of the Evil Ancestor, Mount Lingnian!"

As he spoke, the Prince of Ghosts pointed to the side, and a bright archway appeared.

Lu Chao laughed heartily and strode into the portal of light, with the Ghost Prince following closely behind. Once the two of them had entered the portal, it immediately disappeared.

Many players were drawn over. They didn't recognize the Prince of Ghosts, nor did they know what Lu Chaoding and he were going to do together, so they gathered together and started discussing it.

"Is the sect leader off to attack the three major sword sects?"

Who was that person just now?

"I hope nothing bad has happened to the sect leader. I have a feeling he's being threatened!"

"Don't worry, our sect leader is far more powerful than we imagine. Let's just wait for the server-wide announcement of the three sects' destruction!"

"Then let's trust the sect leader one more time..."
