109: The Heavenly Sword Sect that I've been waiting for is going to prosper!

A Golden Body Dharma Idol stood at the very front, one hand clenched into a fist, radiating Chaos Fist intent to hold up the sky and resist the Demonic Qi, while the other hand grasped a long sword forged from golden light, gazing with disdain, radiating brilliant golden light, shielding the prison behind it.

The next second.

Crack!

An invisible force instantly shattered the iron prison cage into powder, yet the women inside remained unharmed.

At this moment, they gazed blankly at the white-clad youth who had suddenly appeared in the sky, standing like a deity. They were not foolish and knew this golden body was a technique cast by this Immortal. They simply hadn't expected that an Immortal would descend, especially one for whom those powerful Yao Beasts were like ants...

When they saw the white-clad figure in the sky strike with his sword, the appearance of this world changed entirely. The ancient forest, the Yao Beasts, and those indescribably terrifying figures that had just stood in the sky had all vanished, replaced by a barren land. Everyone wore a dazed expression...

The next second.

A woman regained her senses, looked up at Shen Nian, knelt on the ground, and wept.

"Thank you, Immortal, for avenging the three hundred and fifty people of our Niujia Village!!"

"Thank you, Immortal..."

Following that, one figure after another knelt, their cries piercing the air as the fear, anger, and despair they had held before were released.

Among them, only one woman did not cry, merely kneeling on the ground.

"Immortal, can you tell us your name..."

"You have avenged our great grievance, and we know we cannot repay you in this lifetime..." The woman who had previously shouted "kill, kill, kill" looked up at Shen Nian. She already had thoughts of death; her entire family had died at the hands of the Yao Race, and she no longer had any desire to live. She just wanted to know, before she died, who had helped her fulfill her wish for revenge. At the very least, knowing his name would be good.

In mid-air, Shen Nian's expression softened slightly, and he spoke calmly: "My name is Shen Nian."

"Living well is the best repayment to me."

The woman was stunned upon hearing this, gazing blankly at the sky, at the white-clad figure turning to leave, before kowtowing heavily.

The Immortal wants me to live... Then I will live well with all my might!

Suddenly!

The space in this world trembled violently.

The space portal that had been opened showed signs of closing. Liu Huihui kept injecting spiritual power into it, but it was to no avail. She shouted urgently: "Fellow Daoist Shen, there is no time!"

Because Shen Nian's sword strike was too strong, the spatial barrier had become unstable, and the original time remaining had been greatly shortened.

After she finished speaking, she immediately wore a troubled expression.

Now there was a variable. If they left and returned to the Secret Realm, what would happen to these Mortal women?

Mortals could not withstand the fluctuations of spiritual power in the ruins!

Beside her, Xia Youyue revealed a look of determination and said: "Senior Brother, you should go back. I will take these women away..."

As the Elder Princess of the Great Xia, these were her subjects. She had failed to fulfill her duty, and truthfully, her heart was filled with guilt.

"Junior Sister Xia, you are not familiar with the Heavenly Demon Cave. Leave it to me. I know how to get out from the periphery. Besides, my craving for alcohol is acting up..." Lin Qingyue, who was on Murong Chen's back, said while struggling slightly, causing Murong Chen to loosen his grip.

After barely steadying himself, Lin Qingyue looked at Shen Nian in the sky and said: "After parting ways with you all before, I snuck into the Heavenly Demon Cave with my Revered Master to train, so I know how to get out. Besides, in my current state, it's useless to return to the ruins. I will take them back to Great Xia."

He had previously come to the periphery of the Heavenly Demon Cave with Guo Dewu, but it was a completely different concept from coming with Shen Nian. He and his Revered Master had been sneaking around; could that compare to Shen Nian's outright slaughter?

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyue couldn't help but want to see Guo Dewu's expression when he found out. Previously, he had boasted that if you could come to the Heavenly Demon Cave to train and make it out alive, you were a dragon among men in Great Xia!

By that logic, Shen Nian must be a god from the heavens!

"Brother Lin, you are hurt this badly, so stop acting cool. There's no benefit to it." Murong Chen leaned close and advised him in a low voice.

Lin Qingyue's mouth twitched. Was he trying to act cool?

Couldn't he see that in his current situation, he really couldn't take it anymore!

He needed to go back and heal!

Moreover, he had long lost the thought of acting cool in front of Shen Nian. That would just be a pure clown, no need for that.

"No need, someone will take them back." Shen Nian's figure landed in front of the crowd and spoke softly.

"Hmm?"

"Who?"

"Who else is there in this Heavenly Demon Cave?"

While everyone was puzzled, an old man in tattered clothes suddenly appeared, though no one knew when.

"Who is this old beggar? Why is there a sword stuck in his shoulder? Is he cosplaying?" Murong Chen stared at the sudden arrival. The man had no fluctuation of energy on him, no different from a Mortal, so he immediately leaned to Lin Qingyue's ear and whispered.

But at this moment, Lin Qingyue was squinting, eyeing that broken sword, feeling it looked a bit familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere...

The next second, his body tightened slightly. When he saw the middle-aged woman dressed as a Daoist nun appear, he immediately cupped his hands in a deep bow: "Lin Qingyue of the Second Mountain, pays respects to the Sect Master!"

"Sect Master???" Murong Chen was stunned and looked up.

Is this the thousand-year iron nun, the Heavenly Sword that never blooms, Wang Cuihua, that his old man talked about?

Rumor had it she was single-mindedly devoted to promoting the Heavenly Sword Sect and stayed in the Heavenly Sword Sect to comprehend the Heavenly Profound Sword Dao!

How could she be here? Could the "someone" Brother Shen mentioned be her?

Liu Huihui suddenly felt relieved. It was clear someone had helped her stabilize the space. She turned around and her gaze fell on the tattered old man, shocked.

This Senior has such powerful spatial attainments; they stabilized this world without even making a move!

Is this a Void Returning Realm expert?

The next second, she cupped her hands respectfully: "Junior thanks Senior for the help. Liu Huihui of Sunset Valley pays respects to the Heavenly Sword Sect Revered Master!"

Xia Youyue's expression remained normal, her eyes somewhat indifferent. It was not her first time seeing the other party, but she made no move.

Wang Cuihua walked over, glanced at the desolate land around her, and sensed the terrifying Sword Intent still filling the world, her heart filled with shock.

The power of a Void Returning Realm Perfection divine sword ability...

This sword strike... so strong!

It was already comparable to the full-force strike of a true Void Returning Realm expert, and even she wouldn't be able to take it if she didn't use the dao palace. She truly didn't know what it would look like if he struck with a sword while in the Void Returning Realm...

Is this really something that can be unleashed by a Soul Transformation Early Stage?

Can a Soul Transformation Early Stage have so much spiritual power stored to unleash this?

What kind of terrifying Cultivation Technique is he cultivating!!!

The shocked Wang Cuihua turned her gaze to that impossibly young, handsome face and thought: "Twenty years old..."

"The most critical thing is that he is only twenty years old!"

"Such a young Soul Transformation, such terrifying Sword Intent talent..."

"This child must be kept in the Heavenly Sword Sect!!!"

"That old bastard was right. With him here, my dream can be realized. The name of the Heavenly Sword Sect will surely shake the Upper Realm!"

"The Heavenly Sword Sect I want is about to prosper!!!"

Thinking of this, Wang Cuihua almost laughed out loud, temporarily putting aside the matter of fighting Lin Yuan to the death, and ignoring Lin Qingyue who was saluting her.

However, the next second, after the old man's voice rang out, everyone was shocked.

He knelt on one knee before Shen Nian, revealing a fawning smile as he flattered: "Lin Yuan, pays respects to the Young Lord!"

"The Young Lord's Divine Might is peerless, leveling the Heavenly Demon Cave with one hand. Seeing this scene, this old servant truly wants to recite a poem for the Young Lord, to express this old servant's admiration for the Young Lord!"
