150: Chapter 150: The Three Major Forces Are Destroyed, Sword One
"Ding! Based on the host's current situation, a mission has been issued: Unify the Southern Wilderness. Reward: Five million limit points."
Jiang Xuan smiled; the System was becoming more and more sensible.
Man Dali, standing nearby, heard their conversation and excitedly said, "Boss, are we going to fight? Take me with you!"
Jiang Xuan nodded and looked at everyone. "Since that's the case, we'll split into three groups. Ninefold Mountain will handle the Azure Sea Sect in the Northern Sea. Holy Lord, the Azure Sky Holy Kingdom is yours. I'll go to the Floating Cloud Sword Sect."
All the Saints from the three Sects had been slain by Jiang Xuan. The remaining Disciples were like lambs to the slaughter. With Lin Wuyuan and Yun Ya, two Saints, leading the charge, there would be no mistakes.
This battle was not just about annihilating the three major forces; it was also a signal to the entire Barren Continent: those who follow me prosper, those who defy me perish!
The Azure Sea Sect, the sole overlord of the Northern Sea, was situated on a massive island. At this moment, the Azure Sea Sect had long lost its prestige as the Northern Sea overlord. Ever since the Holy Lord and others failed in their siege of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land with the Holy Land's high-ranking members, its status as the Northern Sea overlord had plummeted.
Now, it had become a laughingstock of the entire Barren Continent. Even more terrifying was that their Sect had offended that Young Emperor, and they could be annihilated at any moment.
Within the Sect, the remaining Disciples hung their heads, listless. Looking at the Formation that enveloped the entire Sect, their eyes held no desire for life. They were already numb. What could be more despairing than waiting for death to arrive?
Outside the Formation, Tianshu and Canhong, the two Hall Masters of the Seven Stars Hall, looked indifferently at the scene within the Azure Sea Sect. This Formation had been specially given to them by Jiang Xuan to trap the Azure Sea Sect here, preventing them from going anywhere. Otherwise, with their Supreme strength, they wouldn't be able to keep everyone.
Just then, a massive mountain peak emerged from the clouds. Yun Ya's figure appeared on the peak, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Tianshu and Canhong exchanged glances. "Finally here, huh?" Just a moment ago, Jiang Xuan had informed them through the Heavenly Realm Token that Ninefold Mountain would come to eradicate the Azure Sea Sect.
The two cupped their fists towards Yun Ya, then their figures vanished from the spot. Since their mission was complete, staying there would only be a waste of time.
In the Void Realm, Yun Ya glanced at the numb Azure Sea Sect Disciples below. Releasing his Saint power, a massive mountain peak pressed down on the entire Azure Sea Sect.
"Rumble!"
With a loud bang, the ground suddenly shook, then began to tremble. Accompanied by massive dust, the entire Azure Sea Sect instantly sank into the ground.
A moment later, after sensing no living beings, Yun Ya left contentedly... On the other side, the Azure Sky Holy Kingdom met the same fate. The once glorious kingdom was now a ruin.
Lin Wuyuan coldly watched it all. From this day forward, the Eastern Wilderness would have no more Azure Sky Holy Kingdom!
At the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, Jiang Xuan looked somewhat surprised at a sword-wielding man below. He had his head bowed, lost in thought, blood dripping from the tip of his sword. His originally white robe was stained crimson. The entire Floating Cloud Sword Sect had been completely slaughtered, with no survivors. The strong scent of blood stimulated the senses of Jiang Xuan and the others.
Man Dali said from the side, "Boss, who is this person? How did someone act before us?"
"Looking at him, it seems like he has a deep-seated hatred."
Ling Yu Fan, standing nearby, chuckled and teased, "Alright, Dali, you can even analyze problems now. You're improving!"
Man Dali heard this and laughed sheepishly, "Hehe, following you guys every day, I've also become smarter."
Jiang Xuan ignored the two and flashed behind the man, leisurely saying, "Sword One, a person who mysteriously disappeared in the Ancient Secret Realm, the Floating Cloud Sword Sect's top talent in the Dao of the Sword. I imagine a Sword Cultivator like you wouldn't commit the act of betraying your master and annihilating your Sect, would he?"
The man's body trembled when he heard Jiang Xuan's words. He slowly turned around, his face full of disdain. He shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, "Heh, betraying my master and annihilating my Sect? Does Jian Changsheng even deserve to be called a master?"
Sword One's face was extremely cold, his eyes filled with hatred. "For my Innate Sword Body, to make me his Disciple and his Puppet of slaughter, he sent people to kill my parents and my entire clan!"
"Then he saved me, making me feel gratitude towards him. He used this to take me as his Disciple, step by step turning me into his most excellent killing machine."
The more Sword One spoke, the more agitated he became, finally bursting into laughter. "Hahaha, he thought I didn't know? In fact, I knew everything!"
"Betraying my master and annihilating my Sect?"
Sword One's eyes were bloodshot red, and he said viciously, "I wish I could flay him, drink his blood, and gnaw his flesh! To comfort the souls of my parents and clansmen in heaven!"
After speaking, Sword One's cold face held a hint of gratitude. "I know the purpose of your visit. Strictly speaking, I am also a member of the Sword Sect. I haven't thanked you for eliminating my greatest enemy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to slaughter everyone in the Sword Sect."
"Thank you!"
Sword One cupped his fist towards Jiang Xuan, then slowly closed his eyes. "Do it. My great revenge is avenged. There's nothing left to tie me to this world. I might as well enter Reincarnation early and see my loved ones."
Jiang Xuan's expression was indifferent. He quietly watched Sword One. After a long time, he turned and left, "Remember, you owe me a life."
"Also, in this world, you are not without ties. What you hold in your hand is your greatest bond."
Sword One's hand, gripping the sword hilt, trembled violently. He slowly opened his eyes, watching Jiang Xuan's departing back, his emotions complex. "I owe you a life?"
Raising his hand to look at the sword in it, a glimmer of light appeared in Sword One's grey eyes. "Yes, I still have a companion!"
"Clang!"
A sword cry echoed through the Void Realm!
Jiang Xuan, far away, heard the commotion behind him and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ling Yu Fan hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Sir, you seem to value him greatly?"
Jiang Xuan smiled, "It's not about valuing him. He has a deadly feud with the Sword Sect. From beginning to end, he held no ill will towards my Holy Land. Otherwise, in the Ancient Secret Realm, he wouldn't have suddenly disappeared. He just didn't want his Sword Heart to be stained. His sword only kills those who deserve to be killed."
"A pure Sword Cultivator, an Innate Sword Body, and now he has comprehended the Sword Heart. That is very rare."
Ling Yu Fan nodded, then asked, "So you're just letting him go like that?"
A confident smile appeared on Jiang Xuan's face. "Don't worry, he will come to find me."
At night, outside Tiandao Mountain, the darkness was like ink. A figure silently appeared before Jiang Xuan, the fierce Sword Intent around him radiating coldness in the night.
Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Xuan smiled faintly. A white jade token appeared in his hand, with the character 'Heaven' carved on one side and 'Sword' on the other.
"What do you want me to do?" Sword One bowed slightly, his voice cold.
Jiang Xuan was not annoyed. He knew that Sword One's personality had some flaws due to Jian Changsheng's long-term control, but it suited his image as a Sword Cultivator.
Bowing to him was already what Sword One considered the most respectful way.
Handing the token to Sword One, Jiang Xuan's leisurely voice came, "This is the Heavenly Realm Token. From now on, you are the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion within the Heavenly Realm."
Sword One took the token, waiting for Jiang Xuan's next instructions.
"I want you to go to Shenzhou and inquire about the Li Tian Clan. Pay close attention to whether any major events are happening, especially those related to the Heavenly Proud Daughter of the clan."
"If anything happens, inform me immediately."
After hearing what Jiang Xuan said, Sword One turned and left without any hesitation. Even if the other party was the Li Tian Emperor Clan, as long as it was Jiang Xuan's command, he would desperately complete it.
"Be careful in everything. Prioritize your life."
Just then, Jiang Xuan's words came again. Sword One clutched the token in his hand tightly, gave a soft 'hmm,' and disappeared into the night.
After Sword One left, a dangerous glint appeared in Jiang Xuan's eyes. "Li Tian Emperor Clan, although I still don't know what transaction you and my mother made back in the Jiang Family of Qinglin City, if even one hair on her head is harmed, even if you are my mother's main clan, I will make sure you are Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, never to enter Reincarnation!"
