The second attack by Jian Ge, and the self-created martial arts technique
Sword Pavilion, Deliberation Hall.
All high-ranking officials of the Sword Pavilion, big and small, were present, except for the Sword Pavilion Master, Jian Changgeng, who was still in seclusion.
At this moment, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper stood before everyone with humiliated expressions.
Under the scrutiny of their colleagues, the seven men hung their heads in shame, not uttering a word.
Tai Feng, the Grand Elder whose status in the Sword Pavilion was second only to Jian Changgeng, was the first to speak: "You mean... you were defeated by Su Ming? And he even took your natal flying swords and Cultivation Techniques?"
"Yes..."
"Your full-power Big Dipper Sword Formation was also shattered by a single blow from him?"
"Yes..."
The more the people present listened, the more astonished they became.
They knew the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper; these seven individuals disdained lying.
Their unanimous admission now proved that this matter was true.
Among the high-ranking officials, only Murong Xue understood the plight of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, while secretly feeling a sense of schadenfreude.
When he was defeated by Su Ming in one move and had his natal flying sword shattered in two moves, he wasn't mocked by his colleagues.
Now it was good; he wasn't the only one who had been thoroughly beaten by Su Ming.
Moreover, compared to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper who were utterly crushed by one strike, he at least lasted two moves.
Win!
"But Su Ming didn't get off scot-free either; we clearly saw that he was also injured after the battle," the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper quickly added.
"Oh? How serious were the injuries?" Tai Feng immediately pressed.
If Su Ming also lost his combat ability after dealing with the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, then the Sword Pavilion could still handle him.
But if Su Ming still had a lot of energy left after dealing with the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, then the Sword Pavilion would have to treat him with extreme caution.
Because this already put him on par with their Pavilion Master in terms of combat power, they had to treat it with extreme caution.
"He was clutching the corner of his mouth at the time, probably to avoid revealing his true injuries. We were also severely wounded at the time and didn't dare to probe further..."
After hearing this, no one blamed the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.
When the seven returned, they were indeed severely injured; being able to attend this meeting and report was already after receiving a round of treatment.
"I understand. Seven Elders, please return to heal your injuries. You are the pillars of the Sword Pavilion, and nothing must happen to you."
After the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper withdrew, Tai Feng looked at everyone with a solemn expression: "What do you think about this suddenly appearing Su Ming?"
"I suspect this person is connected to the Blood Sword Tower."
"Exactly, I think so too."
"Regardless of whether he is related to the Blood Sword Tower, the 'immortal blood' is now in his hands. This alone must be taken seriously!"
The 'immortal blood' was related to the Secret Realm left behind by a Peerless Sword Cultivator, and that place was the foundation upon which the Sword Pavilion had stood until now.
Therefore, whether due to the danger posed by the 'immortal blood' or the Sword Pavilion's own needs, they would not abandon the 'immortal blood'.
"Since the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper saw him severely injured, we should press the advantage!"
"Indeed, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper's injuries have not yet recovered, so Su Ming must be in the same state."
Facing the discussions of the crowd, Grand Elder Tai Feng finally made a decision: "I will go meet Su Ming alone."
"Grand Elder, this is inappropriate."
"Indeed, it is the correct path for us to act together now and quickly eliminate Su Ming."
However, Tai Feng shook his head and said, "Who among those present is confident enough to break the Big Dipper Sword Formation with a single blow?"
At these words, the entire room fell silent.
They truly couldn't do that.
"If Su Ming still has the ability to fight back with his life, our combined siege will become extremely dangerous."
"Once we suffer heavy casualties, the Blood Sword Tower will inevitably make a move, so we must handle this matter with caution."
"If I go alone, and Su Ming fights back with his life, at most only I will fall. Even if the Blood Sword Tower acts afterward, I, Tai, believe that my colleagues can handle the matter."
"So there's no need to argue about this anymore. I will go meet Su Ming alone!"
The other high-ranking officials of the Sword Pavilion were deeply moved by these words. They then took out their most prized Magic Treasures or Medicinal Pills and handed them to Tai Feng, hoping he could gain an advantage in the upcoming battle with Su Ming.
However, they seemed to have overlooked one thing.
If Tai Feng was defeated by Su Ming, all these items would fall into Su Ming's hands.
And this was exactly what Su Ming wanted.
If there weren't more enemies to drop equipment later, why would he let the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper go back?
Carrying the Magic Treasures given by his fellow Daoists, Tai Feng learned what was happening in Hang City through the Sword Pavilion's spies.
"Are they transferring the common people through a space channel?"
Seeing this action, Tai Feng felt a pang of compassion.
But an inexplicable thought gradually grew in his mind.
'Hang City harbors 'immortal blood' and is also connected to the Blood Sword Tower. The common people there may not all be innocent.'
'For future peace and tranquility, sacrifices are indispensable. Moreover, those people are not clean; killing them might be acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao...'
'If the immortal blood cannot be ensured to return to the Sword Pavilion's hands, how can we guarantee to resist the Blood Sword Tower in the future?'
Similar voices echoed in Tai Feng's mind until they convinced him.
"Now that Hang City is busy transferring people, it's the perfect time to strike!"
His eyes were no longer confused, but instead incredibly firm... Inside Hang City, the transfer of the common people was in full swing.
Because Su Ming dispatched battle spirit puppets to assist, the stability of the space channel could be described as impregnable.
After the channel was stabilized, Chen Chuan immediately emptied the City Lord's Mansion's Scripture Pavilion, bringing all the Cultivation Techniques inside to Su Ming.
Once these Cultivation Techniques were in hand, Su Ming immediately flipped through them at an incredibly fast speed.
With the terrifying talent brought by his Innate Dao Bone, even at such a speed, he could instantly understand the operational path of a Cultivation Technique and even innovate upon it.
At this moment, he was holding paper and pen, writing something in the room.
He was currently fusing the dozen or so Cultivation Techniques he had read.
Even though they were not of the same type, and their attributes even clashed.
Yet, under Su Ming's terrifying talent, he truly managed to create this brand new Sword Art.
"It's a pity my Realm is still not high enough. If I could advance further, perhaps I could fuse the 'Source Codex of Creation' and the 'Chaos Realm' together..."
Both of these are Peerless Divine Cultivation Techniques that can be Cultivated to the Limitless Realm. If they could be fused, the new Cultivation Technique created would reach an unimaginable height.
"But before that, I should first practice this Cultivation Technique to see if there are any problems..."
