69: Chapter 69: Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect

Xiao Yuan cursed inwardly.

This fucking thing was piled up using human lives!

The soul-searching ended.

Xiao Yuan pulled down the man's veil, confirmed his appearance, stripped off his clothes, and changed into them.

Then, without any hesitation, he shattered Chen Qi's heart meridians with a single palm strike, and then flicked out a fireball to burn him to ashes.

Then, he transformed into Chen Qi's appearance.

After finishing this, he leaned against the tunnel wall and fell into deep thought.

All six Protectors knew Alchemy, so they should all have Pill Formulas on them.

As long as he caught one and searched his soul, he could get it! Or, without soul searching, there might also be Pill Formulas in the other's Storage Pouch.

However, the strength of the six Protectors was not weak, and their whereabouts were uncertain. Moreover, they were all masked in black, and Chen Qi didn't know them at all.

He could only rely on the aura on their bodies and the tokens hanging at their waists to distinguish the identities of the six Protectors.

Therefore, wanting to capture any of those six people was extremely difficult.

But fortunately, from Chen Qi's memory, he obtained a piece of news: Right Protector Liu Shan, one of the six Protectors, was currently refining foundation establishment pills here.

Furthermore, Liu Shan's cultivation was in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, there was another piece of news that made Xiao Yuan feel apprehensive.

In the Yinsha Cult, there were unexpectedly more than thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Although they were all promoted through earth-grade foundation establishment pills.

But these people were solid Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. Although Xiao Yuan had a powerful Formation in his hands, in case he ran into several Foundation Establishment Cultivators here, he might not even be able to leave this place alive.

Even knowing that Liu Shan was refining pills right here, he did not dare to act rashly.

Furthermore, the Yinsha Cult actually used such a vicious method to cultivate so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and he didn't know what they were plotting.

Just as Xiao Yuan was plotting whether to make a move against that Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Protector, movement suddenly came from the tunnel behind him.

His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly restrained his aura, flashing out of the tunnel.

Just as a person in black ran past him, Xiao Yuan followed along smoothly, pretending to be on patrol.

The corner of his eye glanced towards the tunnel entrance—who was coming?

Rapid footsteps came from the tunnel.

Immediately afterwards, four figures rushed out!

Two men and two women, both looking to be in their twenties, dressed in white robes with long swords strapped to their backs and the emblem of a small golden sword embroidered on their chests—Tianjian Sect Disciples!

Xiao Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment! Two Early Foundation Establishment!

The four of them rushed into the underground space, and without a second word, directly made a move!

The male Cultivator at the lead with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes unsheathed his long sword, and a sword radiance swept horizontally across!

Puff, puff, puff! Three Qi Condensation Stage cult members in black fell to the ground on the spot, not even having time to let out a miserable scream.

Another female Cultivator was even more ruthless; her sword light was like a rainbow, slicing off four or five heads in the blink of an eye!

"Enemy attack——!"

"Run!"

The remaining cult members screamed and fled in all directions, but those four were too fast; wherever the sword light passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Xiao Yuan stepped back a few steps, hid behind a stone pillar, and poked his head out to watch the show.

He muttered inwardly!

As expected of Six Sects Disciples, their strikes were overbearing. However, these few people felt a bit too reckless!

Just rushing in straight like this, weren't they afraid of an ambush?

Sword Cultivators were truly stubborn, preaching things like "charging forward unflinchingly"...

But having said that, what were these four guys running here for?

Xiao Yuan looked at those four, only to see that after slaughtering through the cult members, they didn't pursue, but instead dispersed, checking the cells one by one.

Every time they reached a place, they smashed the door lock, rushed in to look around, and then retreated.

With anxious expressions, it looked like they were looking for someone.

"Looking for someone?" Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Looking for whom?

He quietly released his perception, probing towards the four people.

But he didn't dare to get too close; after all, the other party had Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, and it would be troublesome if discovered.

Just at this moment, a round-faced female Cultivator suddenly shouted happily, "Senior Brother! Here!"

The other three immediately rushed over.

Xiao Yuan also quietly moved his position, wanting to see what they had found.

In that cell, a disheveled woman was locked up, her clothes ragged and stained with blood. She curled up in the corner, trembling.

"Junior Sister!" The round-faced female Cultivator rushed in, grabbed her in a hug, "We finally found you!"

The woman raised her head, revealing a pale yet delicate face, covered in tears, "Senior Sister... you guys are here... I thought... I thought I would never see you guys again..."

Xiao Yuan watched from afar, roughly understanding in his heart.

It seemed that a Tianjian Sect Disciple was captured, and they came to rescue people.

Xiao Yuan watched from afar, roughly understanding in his heart.

It seemed that a Tianjian Sect Disciple was captured, and they came to rescue people.

At this moment, a deep and heavy voice sounded from the Blood Pool altar, and he hurriedly swept his gaze over!

He saw a secret door slowly opened below the Blood Pool, and a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment man in black appeared there.

Seeing this person, Xiao Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

He should be Right Protector Liu Shan. From him, Xiao Yuan was surprised to find that his aura was very familiar; even though the other party's face was covered with a black scarf, he still recognized him.

This person was precisely the Cultivator who had previously devoured his companion and raised his cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage Peak.

At that time, he was severely injured by the Formation he had detonated. Now it seemed that although his aura was somewhat unstable, his injuries had clearly healed.

However, his cultivation had recovered to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. It seemed that the reason he was able to raise his cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage Peak previously was because he used a secret technique.

Once the secret technique ended, his cultivation returned to normal.

That Liu Shan looked at the four Disciples of the Tianjian Sect, his gaze ice-cold and carrying a trace of anger. However, he was not in a hurry to make a move.

And the four people of the Tianjian Sect also discovered Liu Shan, a trace of surprise flashing in their eyes, but it was immediately replaced by disdain.

Among them, the male Cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment held his sword and charged directly toward Liu Shan.

Seeing the other party charge over, Liu Shan moved.

His figure flashed, he leaped up from the altar, and met the Tianjian Sect male Cultivator. He raised his hand with a single strike, directly beating back this male Cultivator.

Liu Shan stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer.

"Brats of the Tianjian Sect, just this little bit of ability? You dare to come wild in my Yinsha Cult?"

The male Cultivator retreated five or six steps before stabilizing his figure, his face turning ashen.

He lowered his head and glanced at his faintly numb wrist, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes—both were at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, how could this person be stronger than him?

But he quickly suppressed his shock, shook his long sword, and the sword radiance surged:

"Demonic cult monster, you are worthy to evaluate the swordsmanship of our Tianjian Sect?"

Liu Shan laughed heartily: "Your mouth is quite stiff. After I capture you in a moment, let's see if you can still stay stiff!"

Saying this, a trace of greed and wild joy flashed in his eyes.

"Your Spiritual Roots should be High Grade, right? Moreover, the Spiritual Roots of Foundation Establishment Cultivators used to refine foundation establishment pills, haha... perhaps it can even make this seat's Aptitude go a step further, and my cultivation can also Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!"

The male Cultivator was burning with anger, turned back and shouted to the companions behind him: "Junior Sister, you guys protect the Junior Sister, I will butcher this Devil Head first!"

Before his voice faded, his figure flashed, and with a single sword, he stabbed toward Liu Shan!

The sword light was like a rainbow, as fast as lightning!
