Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Buzz!!!

Deep within a mountain range, far beyond the battlefield.

A slumbering Silverback Bear suddenly sensed an unfamiliar aura invading its territory!

Xiao Chen emerged from the teleportation array's light, cursing as he walked.

"Damn it! I risked my life killing demons for the Jade Kirin Grass, and someone tried to steal it from me?"

Roar!!!!!

The earth trembled, the massive Silverback Bear, nearly ten zhang tall, stomped its feet, creating a powerful aura.

With an angry roar, it burst from its cave and saw the tiny human cultivator before it.

The bear's roar was deafening, shaking countless leaves from the surrounding towering trees.

Xiao Chen's face was gloomy, his mood already foul.

He stood his ground, watching the Silverback Bear rise to its full height.

His icy gaze caused the bloodthirsty bear to hesitate, its raised paw suspended in mid-air.

Suddenly, a slight smile crept onto Xiao Chen's lips.

Moments later, Xiao Chen was using his God-Slaying Spear to roast the bear's paw over a fire.

"The Qī Hè Sect... I wonder how strong they are."

"Screw it! Why think so much? Just beat them up!"

With that, he tore into the bear paw, taking a large swig of wine.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Xiao Chen entered the Silverback Bear's cave and sat down cross-legged.

He poured out a blood-red pill from a jade bottle, shaking it to find it empty.

He touched his nose.

"Did I really finish all of Third Brother's Candelon Blood Pills?"

After swallowing it, Xiao Chen's skin instantly turned red, his muscles bulged and tightened, and veins popped out on his neck and forehead!

Boom!!!!

Scorching flames instantly engulfed the entire cave.

In an instant, the entire cave transformed into a sea of fire, the confined space filled with flames as if it had become a furnace.

Xiao Chen's aura began to climb rapidly.

Gradually, Xiao Chen's aura approached the eighth level of the True Immortal Realm!

Xiao Chen's lips trembled slightly, his flesh felt as if it was about to be torn apart by the immense power within.

Pieces of immortal crystals exploded, the rich immortal spiritual energy almost liquefying.

Xiao Chen's body was like parched earth meeting sweet rain, frantically absorbing the surrounding immortal spiritual energy.

A jade bottle shattered with a bang, one that Péng Luó had distributed to everyone before leaving.

"Break for me!!!"

Boom!!!!

Blood oozed from the surface of Xiao Chen's skin, his face flushed crimson like an eggplant.

Boom!!!!

Xiao Chen's aura instantly soared to the eighth level of the True Immortal Realm!

Rolling waves of fire erupted from the cave entrance for over a hundred zhang, incinerating everything in their path.

The space itself was burned into a dark hole.

Xiao Chen twisted his neck, clenched his fists, and felt his physical strength had increased significantly again.

Then, he set up a layer of flame barrier at the cave entrance, closed his eyes, and began to refine and stabilize his realm.

"Qī Hè Sect... once I've stabilized my realm, I'll make sure you're in turmoil!"

At the same time, the Qī Hè Sect did not dismiss Xiao Chen's threat of revenge.

Kē Yǒngshèng, who had been in seclusion for many years, emerged!

Sòng Xuān, the Sect Master of the Qī Hè Sect, sat in the main seat of the sect's main hall, sipping tea.

The handsome man looked only in his thirties, with fair skin and a handsome face, exuding a faint Golden Immortal aura!

In the lower seat was the Great Elder Kē Yǒngshèng, who had long ceased to care about worldly affairs for over a hundred years!

The sect's main hall was silent, and no one spoke.

Chén Jiànhuī also remained silent on this occasion; it was not his place to speak at this time.

Sòng Xuān cursed inwardly and said with a gentle smile.

"I heard that... the Third Elder led people to find immortal grass that could help Elder Kē extend his life?"

Chén Jiànhuī's expression changed slightly; he had not expected Sòng Xuān to throw the topic directly at him at this time!

In an instant, all the elders and enshrined experts in the hall focused their gazes on him.

Chén Jiànhuī was under immense pressure for a moment.

Sòng Xuān played with his teacup, smiling without saying a word, his deep eyes looking down at him from above.

Kē Yǒngshèng leaned on his chair with a cane, pretending to be asleep.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere in the air, Chén Jiànhuī's forehead broke out in a little cold sweat.

Sòng Xuān chuckled softly, lowered his eyes, folded his hands in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Jiànhuī, why aren't you speaking?"

"Just say whatever you have to say; I'm only asking out of concern for Elder Kē's health; is there something difficult to say?"

Chén Jiànhuī's throat twitched slightly, and his movements were very slow as he stood up, constantly thinking about how to answer.

He straightened his clothes and stood still, but Chén Jiànhuī remained silent for a long time.

Da!

The sound of the teacup landing on the table was particularly abrupt.

The smile on Sòng Xuān's face had slowly faded, and his gaze toward Chén Jiànhuī had become somewhat sharp.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, we did indeed find a Jade Kirin Grass that could help the Great Elder extend his lifespan by a thousand years."

"But..."

Sòng Xuān smiled.

"But what?"

"But... the Jade Kirin Grass was snatched away by a young spear cultivator."

Chén Jiànhuī didn't mention a word about Xiao Chen's so-called revenge!

Upon hearing this, Sòng Xuān said with a gentle smile.

"It's a good thing that you found the Jade Kirin Grass; what are you... worried about?"

Chén Jiànhuī's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he bowed deeply, bending at the waist.

"Not worried about anything."

Sòng Xuān's gaze inadvertently swept over Kē Yǒngshèng's body; he could feel the faint aura of death emanating from the old man.

His eyes narrowed, and he murmured in his heart.

"The old codger has wanted to seize power for more than a day or two; now that he's finally about to die... Hmph!"

But he lowered his head and said casually.

"Third Elder should still have something to say, right?"

Chén Jiànhuī suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Could it be that he already knows about that guy's revenge threat?"

Sure enough, Sòng Xuān said with a fake smile.

"The other party should have also said something about taking revenge, right?"

As he spoke, a Golden Immortal aura suddenly erupted!

The Golden Immortal ancient disc behind Sòng Xuān was crystal clear, and a crimson spiritual pattern slowly wandered.

Chén Jiànhuī's legs went weak, and his lips turned pale.

However, in the next moment, another powerful pressure erupted.

The old man, who had been pretending to be asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

His cloudy eyes turned to stare at Sòng Xuān, and he questioned expressionlessly, leaning on his cane.

"So what if he takes revenge?"

"For the Jade Kirin Grass, even if the other party doesn't come looking for us, I will go looking for him."

"He's just a True Immortal spear cultivator; is it that the Qī Hè Sect is afraid, or are you, Sòng Xuān, afraid?"

His voice paused slightly, and Kē Yǒngshèng narrowed his eyes at Sòng Xuān, questioning in a hoarse voice.

"Or is it that... the Sect Master is hoping that I, a meritorious founder of the sect, will die sooner?"

Dong!!

The old man slammed his cane on the ground, and the bluestone tiles shattered.

Bang!!

The teacup in Sòng Xuān's hand was also crushed, and he looked at the old man with a calm expression.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.
