20: Chapter 20: Don't Mess Around

It couldn't be wrong.

Su Lianxue recalled the scene in her mind when Lin Ming made his move.

If Lin Ming had borrowed someone else's power, she would definitely have been able to sense it with her own Divine Soul.

That sword strike, and that streak of Sword Intent, were by no means any other method; they were Lin Ming's own Sword Intent.

High-stage Bitter Sea Realm, or perhaps the Other Shore Realm.

This Demonic Path Cultivator named Blood Butcher Old Demon was a mid-stage Bitter Sea Realm Cultivator.

For Lin Ming to be able to kill him with a single sword strike, his own cultivation must certainly not be weak.

Her Senior Brother had definitely hidden his cultivation.

For a moment, Lin Ming's image became mysterious in front of Su Lianxue.

A twenty-year-old high-stage Bitter Sea Realm Cultivator, or perhaps a Cultivator of the Other Shore Realm.

She herself hadn't reached this level of strength when she was twenty.

Moreover, such a Realm and strength would be considered a Prodigy, or even a Prodigy, in the Upper Realm.

If she hadn't learned something about her Senior Brother over these past few days, she would have almost thought that her Senior Brother was some old monster pretending to be young.

Could it be that her Senior Brother, just like her, was also a reincarnated person?

Or was it that she had underestimated her Senior Brother's talent?

"What? Junior Sister Su, were you stunned by your Senior Brother's dashing appearance?"

Lin Ming also noticed Su Lianxue's gaze and teased with a smile.

"Senior Brother is indeed quite handsome."

Su Lianxue nodded slightly.

It seems she would have to change her perspective on her Senior Brother.

"Crack..."

It was also at this moment that the blood Qi barrier that had been struck shattered.

It could be seen falling apart, shattering completely like broken glass, and the fragmented blood Qi quickly dissipated into the air.

Following the breaking of this Formation, a figure appeared before them, appearing before Yu Yaoqin.

It was none other than the Hidden Sword Peak Master, Yao Ruochu.

"Qin'er, are you alright?"

Yao Ruochu looked at her daughter, and seeing that her daughter had not suffered any injuries, she heaved a sigh of relief.

After the Sword Intent she had left on her daughter was triggered, Yao Ruochu had rushed over at the fastest speed.

"Mother, if it wasn't for Senior Brother, you wouldn't be able to see your lovely daughter anymore."

Yu Yaoqin threw herself directly into Yao Ruochu's embrace, and tears uncontrollably flowed from Yu Yaoqin's eyes.

The fear of death, the threat of death, was real.

If Lin Ming hadn't made a move, the Blood Butcher Old Demon would have succeeded.

"It's alright now."

Yao Ruochu comforted her daughter.

Immediately after, she turned to look at the corpse of the Blood Butcher Old Demon.

"Blood Butcher, you did have some Opportunity."

Yao Ruochu said indifferently.

She incidentally confirmed whether the Blood Butcher had completely died; if he was faking death, she would have to completely eradicate him.

From her daughter's words, she could also roughly guess that this Blood Butcher had used some kind of method to withstand her streak of Sword Intent.

He did indeed have some methods; three years ago he had taken one of her sword strikes head-on and didn't die, and three years later he had once again withstood a streak of Sword Intent.

"Lin Ming, thank you."

Yao Ruochu thanked Lin Ming.

She naturally would not think that Lin Ming had the strength to kill the Blood Butcher; after all, Lin Ming was only a Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator.

Lin Ming must have used a life-saving method bestowed upon him by Senior Sister Yun Hua.

"This is what I should have done."

Lin Ming nodded.

Daring to lay a hand on his Junior Sister, he definitely had to deal with this guy.

"Let's go."

Yao Ruochu's gaze swept over the Disciples, and she stepped into the spirit boat first.

Obviously, she wanted to return to the Sect with the Disciples to prevent any accidents.

"Junior Martial Uncle, this Disciple will collect the spoils of war."

Lin Ming said.

Since he had killed this guy, the things on him were his spoils of war.

Moreover, this guy had things that Lin Ming was interested in, so naturally he could not miss them.

"Dispose of the corpse."

Yao Ruochu said.

"Yes."

After collecting the spoils, Lin Ming used Spell Arts to dig a large pit, threw the three corpses into the pit, and buried them.

Subsequently, they boarded the spirit boat and returned to the Sect.

After returning to the Sect, Yao Ruochu, after comforting her daughter, issued a meeting summons to the Sect Master and the other six Peak Masters in her capacity as the Hidden Sword Peak Master.

"Senior Sister, what happened that you need to summon us all?"

After Zhao Wuhai arrived, he asked Yao Ruochu.

"Wait for everyone to arrive."

Yao Ruochu said expressionlessly.

Except for the Sect Master and True Monarch Yunhua, all other Peak Masters were present, and the Sect Master's lineage was represented by the Grand Elder, which was something everyone had anticipated.

"What happened?"

Ouyang Rui looked at Yao Ruochu and asked.

He knew that given Yao Ruochu's temperament, she would not summon them for no reason.

"My daughter was attacked just now."

Yao Ruochu said coldly.

She recounted the incident where Yu Yaoqin and the others were attacked by the Blood Butcher.

"Demonic Path people, these Demonic Path people are a bit too rampant."

Zhao Wuhai's expression darkened, and he said with a hint of killing intent.

Daring to ambush and kill people of Yuanxu Mountain on their own territory was clearly not taking them seriously.

"I have recently received news that the Demonic Path side has started to become a bit restless."

Peak Master He Fenghua said.

The Flying Cloud Peak had a department specifically responsible for collecting various intelligence from the Qingyuan Realm, which was directly led by He Fenghua.

"Five hundred years, these guys have started to become restless again."

Ying Jingming said coldly.

Five hundred years ago, the Righteous Path Sects and Demonic Path Sects of the Qingyuan Realm engaged in a confrontation, and Yuanxu Mountain naturally participated in it.

That battle ultimately resulted in victory for their Righteous Path Sects.

Although they did not completely annihilate these so-called Demonic Path forces, it made them not dare to appear openly in the cultivation world.

Now, five hundred years have passed, and these Demonic Path forces have started to become a bit restless again.

"Peak Master He, please pay more attention to information in this regard."

Ouyang Rui looked at He Fenghua and said.

"Mm."

He Fenghua nodded.

Even if Ouyang Rui didn't say it, he would do so.

"Our territory must not be in chaos."

Ouyang Rui continued.

The territory of Yuanxu Mountain must be firmly controlled by them; it cannot fall into chaos.

Even less can it be infiltrated by these Demonic Path forces; this is something they absolutely will not allow.

"Let's purge them."

Ouyang Rui said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the five Peak Masters also nodded slightly.

The Sect Master was currently in a state of seclusion, so the major decisions within the Sect were currently made jointly by the Grand Elder and the Peak Masters.

"This matter will be left to Peak Master Qin to arrange."

Ouyang Rui looked at Qin Weifeng and said to him.

"I understand."

Qin Weifeng nodded.

Ouyang Rui was right; their territory.

Must not be in chaos.
