Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Three days later, the people from Sword Pavilion arrived at Nine Heavens Hall together with Canglan Palace. At this moment, Ye Canghai, the Great Elder of the Ye family, sat in the main seat, along with several members of the Guardian Hall sequence.

The two forces arrived at the hall and bowed to Ye Canghai, saying, "Greetings, Great Elder."

Ye Canghai waved his hand and said, "Presumably, you are all aware of the reason I have summoned you here today.

You may now speak freely and express your opinions, discussing which force we should attack first."

Ji Wushang and the others had no right to speak, as they were unfamiliar with the other nine major forces in the Eastern Region, so they remained silent.

An elder from Sword Pavilion spoke up, "I believe we can choose between Thunder Emperor City and Star Palace. They were originally local forces in the Eastern Region, but they are only being protected by certain individuals. Relatively speaking, they are weaker."

Another Heavenly Emperor Realm expert from Sword Pavilion said loudly, "Why not directly attack Dao Palace? Our relationship with them is one of life and death. We have been suppressed by those people in Central Continent for tens of thousands of years, which is extremely frustrating."

The crowd began to express their opinions, and the scene became lively for a time. After a full half-day, after discussions by everyone, it was finally decided that Heavenly Sword Gate would attack Blood Shadow Sect. The reasons were that firstly, Blood Shadow Sect was an evil sect; secondly, the force behind Blood Shadow Sect was the Heavenly Demon Palace in the Western Region, which was far away and heavily restrained by the two major Buddhist forces; and thirdly, its geographical location bordered Heavenly Sword Gate's sphere of influence, being located to the north of Heavenly Sword Gate.

An elder from Heavenly Sword Gate said, "How about we start with the 'Blood Infant Reincarnation Formation' of Blood Shadow Sect? This is a secret they have been valuing and hiding all these years. It is estimated that they are almost ready now."

Sword Void said, "I think it's feasible. How about you go and light this fire?"

That elder said, "Thank you for your trust, Ancestor. I will definitely complete the mission."

After the discussion ended, Ye Canghai looked around and said, "Now that you have a target, you can act on your own."

Seven days later, an elder from Heavenly Sword Gate, upon receiving a distress call from a disciple, entered the territory of Blood Shadow Sect. After rescuing the disciple, the elder discovered the "Blood Infant Reincarnation Formation" being held by Blood Shadow Sect at Corpse Bone Cliff, with ninety-nine young boys and girls nailed to Xuan Iron Stakes. At midnight that night, the formation was activated, and a soaring blood light dyed the clouds red for thirty miles. Seeing that the evil cult was doing such a heinous thing, the Heavenly Sword Gate elder took action, desperately rescuing seven children, his left arm crippled by the Blood Fiend Claw of the Left Guardian of Blood Shadow Sect. At dawn, Lin Qingyu, covered in blood, carried the unconscious children and rang the Soul Suppressing Bell of Heavenly Sword Gate, with fragments of a sheepskin scroll depicting the blood sacrifice formation hidden in the fragments of his clothing.

Three days later, Heavenly Sword Gate issued the 'Extermination Order,' and Sect Leader Heavenly Sword publicly broke the Blood Shadow Sect battle flag, saying loudly, "When the blood light crosses the throats of infants, the righteous path has no retreat!" At the same time, secret arrangements had already begun:

The first step was that several Heavenly Emperors from Sword Pavilion went to the Poisonous Swamp of Ten Thousand, cutting off Blood Shadow Sect's supply of poisonous insects.

The second step was that twelve elite disciples disguised themselves as refugees and infiltrated the outposts of Blood Shadow Sect.

The third step was to set up the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Sword Formation in advance at Fallen Soul Slope.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, three thousand sword cultivators lined up at the mountain gate of Blood Shadow Sect. Heavenly Sword, with his white beard fluttering, said, "Blood Shadow! Dare you accept my three questions from Heavenly Sword?"

A sinister laugh came from the blood mist, "Old fool, your blood is just right to sacrifice to my newly refined Blood Transformation Divine Saber!"

Suddenly, the wind and snow rolled back, and twelve blood-colored saber rays split the clouds. The ancient sword behind Heavenly Sword was unsheathed with a clang, and the sword light transformed into the pattern of the Big Dipper. Where the saber and sword collided, the falling snow within thirty feet instantly vaporized into blood-colored ice crystals.

When the experts of the two factions were deadlocked at Burial Sword Platform below, the ground suddenly cracked with spiderweb-like fissures. The Great Elder of Blood Shadow Sect floated up from the underground altar, holding a 'Nether Earth Essence Pearl' emitting black light in his hand, "Thank you all for your sword energy to help me connect the earth veins!" It turned out that the true purpose of the blood sacrifice formation was to awaken the bones of an ancient demon general, and the entire battlefield began to shake violently.

Everyone began to sigh, "What a powerful pressure." Someone from the Heavenly Sword Gate side said, "This kind of power is at least in the late stage of the Heavenly Emperor Realm."

In the Heavenly Sword Gate formation, a middle-aged man suddenly had golden light flashing in his eyes. He took a sword box from his back, and the 'Demon Slaying Sword,' which had been silent for thousands of years in the box, automatically flew out, directly piercing into the earth vein fissure. This was the Demon Slaying Sword of Sword Pavilion. As the sound of the sword rang through the heavens and earth, the demon skeleton that was awakening was resealed.

The furious Blood Shadow, seeing that the demon bones were sealed, transformed into a hundred-foot blood demon, and Heavenly Sword was preparing to burn his essence and blood to activate the ultimate form of the Tai Xuan Sword. When the demon claws were about to smash the sword formation, Sword Void flashed in front of Heavenly Sword, and instantly a dazzling sword light enveloped the battlefield. The blood demon let out an unwilling roar, "Sword Void, you... This is impossible... I clearly calculated everything..."

Seeing that their sect leader and ancestor had fallen, and seeing no hope of winning, the Blood Shadow Sect members fled in panic. Immediately, the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Sword Formation was activated, and all the evil cult cultivators became turtles in a jar.

A quarter of an hour later, the smoke cleared, and Heavenly Sword Gate discovered half of a bronze compass engraved with Netherworld runes in the ruins of Blood Shadow Sect. On a distant mountain peak, a purple-robed man with a face similar to Blood Shadow put away his Sky Gazing Mirror, "The chess piece is discarded, but the play is even more interesting..." After saying that, he disappeared.

At this time, no one noticed him. After the Blood Shadow Sect was settled, Heavenly Sword Gate, in the name of eliminating demons, began to sweep the sixty-two prefectures of the demonic and evil cult forces that previously belonged to Blood Shadow Sect, uprooting these forces in the last year.

To outsiders, the Eastern Region was about to become chaotic. First, the Canglan Palace, which had suddenly emerged, forced Sword Pavilion to compromise. Unexpectedly, before long, Sword Pavilion directly destroyed Blood Shadow Sect. The Blood Shadow Sect had the shadow of the Heavenly Demon Palace behind it.

Thunder Emperor City, Leizhou, is a giant metal fortress suspended above storm clouds.

The base is an inverted cone-shaped obsidian platform, inlaid with deep purple crystal ore on the surface, continuously absorbing the lightning energy in the clouds.

The main city is composed of thousands of interlaced black steel spikes, shaped like the moment lightning solidifies, with the tips releasing electric arcs connected to the high-altitude thunderstorms. The outer layer is covered with a translucent thunder pattern barrier.

In the main hall of the city, Lei Batian, the city lord of Thunder Emperor City, dressed in luxurious purple and gold robes, sat in the main seat, with a man in his fifties beside him. He was there to discuss the matter of Heavenly Sword Gate with Lei Batian. He was Xu Yang, the current Palace Lord of Star Palace.

Xu Yang said, "Brother Lei, Heavenly Sword Gate is acting so blatantly, and it is inseparable from the Sword Sect behind it. Now, the strength of you and me is weak. Although we also have people behind us, it is not enough compared with those big forces."

Lei Batian also sighed and said, "This time, Heavenly Sword Gate has indeed exceeded our expectations. The Sword Sect may be about to get involved in the Eastern Region, but what I can't figure out is that the Sword Sect directly destroyed Blood Shadow Sect.

There are two possibilities:

First, the Sword Sect has joined forces with other major forces.

Second, the Sword Sect is not afraid of the immortal force, the Heavenly Demon Palace."

After hearing this, Xu Yang said, "It seems that a major force has already intervened in the Eastern Region in this great era, and this is just the beginning. Our two families should stick together for warmth."
