735: Chapter 735 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (114)

"No! I am not reconciled!" Hei Fengzi's eyes were full of unwillingness and despair. He had exhausted his schemes, wanting to avenge Black Demon Heavenly Venerate and seize Su Han's Chaos Dao Body. He never expected that he would ultimately lose to Su Han.

Su Han gave Hei Fengzi no chance. With a flash of his body, he appeared before Hei Fengzi and swung the chaos sword, piercing his skull directly. Hei Fengzi's body stiffened, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and then he collapsed to the ground, completely devoid of breath. The magic core inside his body also gradually shattered upon his death, turning into wisps of Devilish Qi that dissipated into the air.

With Hei Fengzi dead, the remaining Cultivators of the Black Demon Hall were suddenly leaderless and fell into even greater chaos. They were already being forced back by the Disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and now that their leader was killed, they lost all will to fight. Each one was scared out of their wits, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, as they turned and fled.

"Don't let them escape! Slay all the remnants of the Black Demon Hall to avenge the Cultivators and commoners they have harmed!" Su Han shouted. His figure flashed as he chased after the fleeing black-robed Cultivators, his chaos sword dancing, sending out streaks of chaos sword Qi that continuously cut down the fleeing black-robed Cultivators.

Fairy Yuehua, Immortal Master Yun Lan, and the Disciples of the Qingyun Sect also gave chase, launching a pursuit against the remaining Cultivators of the Black Demon Hall. After half an hour of pursuit, except for a few who were lucky enough to escape, the rest of the Black Demon Hall remnants were all slain. Yuehua Peak was strewn with the corpses of black-robed Cultivators, and the air was thick with the smell of blood and Devilish Qi.

After the battle ended, the Disciples of the Qingyun Sect collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, their bodies covered in wounds and blood, but their faces bore the smiles of victory. They had repelled the attack of the Black Demon Hall remnants, killed Hei Fengzi, and protected Yuehua Peak and the Qingyun Sect.

Su Han walked over to the injured Disciples to check their wounds, while injecting his Chaos Spiritual Power into their bodies to help them repair their damaged Meridians. "Everyone has worked hard; you are all heroes of the Qingyun Sect." Su Han's voice was gentle yet carried a firm strength. "Elder Yun Lan, please take the Disciples back to heal and rest. Leave the remaining matters to me and Junior Martial Uncle."

"Alright." Immortal Master Yun Lan nodded and quickly arranged for the Disciples to take the injured back to their respective Immortal Caves for healing.

After the Disciples had left, Fairy Yuehua walked to Su Han's side. Looking at the wounds on his body, her eyes were filled with heartache. "Su Han, you're injured again. Did using Eternal Dao Heart just now consume a lot of Spiritual Qi?"

Su Han smiled and shook his head. "It's fine. I just consumed some Spiritual Qi; I'll recover after resting for a while. As for you, you should be more careful during battle and not push yourself too hard."

Fairy Yuehua nodded gently and reached out to stroke Su Han's cheek. "Silly child, I know. I just couldn't help but want to slay them when I saw the Black Demon Hall people harming our Disciples. By the way, Hei Fengzi said earlier that the Black Demon Heavenly Venerate had long ago left behind a backup plan. What do you think it is? Also, will the lucky survivors from the Black Demon Hall go to find Elder Yin Yang?"

At the mention of the Black Demon Heavenly Venerate's backup plan and the escaped remnants, Su Han's expression turned solemn. "The Black Demon Heavenly Venerate's backup plan is likely more than just these remnants. When Hei Fengzi used the forbidden technique earlier, I could feel that the Devilish Qi in his body seemed connected to some eerie power. Perhaps that is the backup plan left by the Black Demon Heavenly Venerate. As for those escaped remnants, they will most likely seek out Elder Yin Yang. After all, they are now at a dead end, and only Elder Yin Yang can offer them a way to survive. Moreover, they might have already been in contact with him."

"Then what should we do now?" Fairy Yuehua asked. "Should we send people to hunt down those escaped remnants?"

Su Han shook his head. "No need. Those people are already scared out of their wits, and their tracks are uncertain. Sending people to hunt them would not only be difficult but might also lead us into their traps. What's most important for us now is to stabilize our strength as quickly as possible and wait for the joint action of the various Sects. Once the joint operation begins, we will clear out the remnants of the Black Demon Hall together, and at the same time, head to the God-Burying Abyss to investigate the secrets of the Ancient Altar and uncover Elder Yin Yang's conspiracy."

"You're right." Fairy Yuehua nodded. "However, we must also be more vigilant to prevent those remnants from launching another sneak attack. I will arrange for the Disciples to strengthen the defenses of the Qingyun Sect and closely monitor the surrounding movements. Any abnormality will be reported immediately."

Su Han nodded and looked at Fairy Yuehua, his eyes full of tenderness. "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Martial Uncle."

The two smiled at each other and then returned to the Immortal Cave together.

In the following days, the Qingyun Sect gradually returned to peace. With the help of the dao heart restoration pills and Su Han's Chaos Spiritual Power, the injured Disciples soon recovered. The defenses of the Qingyun Sect were further strengthened, with Disciples taking turns on guard and keeping a close watch on the surroundings to prevent another sneak attack from the Black Demon Hall remnants.

Su Han continued to Cultivate in seclusion in his Immortal Cave to stabilize his dao foundation, while further familiarizing himself with the power of the Soul Transformation Stage and deducing the Chaos Sword Technique. After these few days of Cultivation, his dao foundation was completely stabilized, his Soul Transformation power was more refined, and the power of his Chaos Sword Technique had been further enhanced. He even derived the tenth form of the sword art—"Chaos Devouring Heaven." This form was even more powerful than "Eternal Dao Heart," containing the power to swallow heaven and earth. It could devour all Spiritual Qi and even Devilish Qi, converting it into his own Chaos Spiritual Power.

One day, while Su Han was deducing the "Chaos Devouring Heaven" sword form in his Immortal Cave, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura. Immediately after, the Grand Elder and Perfected Xuan Yang appeared at the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

"Su Han, as expected, you are Cultivating." The Grand Elder walked in with a smile, looking at Su Han with eyes full of praise. "It seems you have stabilized your dao foundation, and your strength has significantly improved."

Su Han quickly rose and bowed. "Greetings, Grand Elder, Perfected Xuan Yang. This Disciple was merely lucky to stabilize his dao foundation; my strength hasn't improved much."

"Don't be so modest," Perfected Xuan Yang said with a smile. "We've all heard that a few days ago, the remnants of the Black Demon Hall came to attack, and you killed Hei Fengzi, repelled those remnants, and even displayed the ninth form of the Chaos Sword Technique, which was immensely powerful. To have such strength so soon after breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage is truly remarkable."

Su Han smiled and said no more. (End of Chapter)
