One word, escape

Their hearts were surging with emotion.

They felt even more motivated to cultivate.

Could they, in the future, also possess such terrifying power?

Of course, while excited, the next moment, both of them felt a surge of immense pressure.

They had always aimed to follow in their Master’s footsteps, but now it seemed that even those under their Master could unleash such terrifying combat power.

How terrifying, then, must their Master’s own combat power be?

It felt as if their own cultivation realm had improved, but the distance between them and their Master was growing further and further.

At this moment, everyone had different thoughts.

Sword Wushuang looked at the abyss and ruins before him, feeling the deep-seated blood feud that had weighed upon him recede like a tide.

From today onwards, he would live for himself, shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Sword Sect, and, on behalf of the deceased members of the sect, witness the splendor of the higher cultivation path.

At this moment, his state of mind underwent Ascension, and he felt his path ahead becoming clearer.

Four hundred years of grudges and enmities, at this moment, finally came to a complete and satisfying end.

Thinking of this, his mood became incredibly light. He turned and bowed deeply to Phoenix Aotian, saying, “Thank you, Senior, for your assistance in avenging my blood feud.”

Phoenix Aotian waved his hand, “As I’ve said, it was merely a small effort!”

“Why do you need to thank me repeatedly!”

“You are a friend of my Young Master, and now with your politeness, if I don’t give you some benefits, it would appear to be my fault.”

As he spoke!

He waved one hand, and two items appeared out of thin air: a pair of divine, glittering Double Pupils and a Sword Bone imbued with sharp sword intent.

“These Double Pupils and Sword Bone are quite extraordinary, but that woman didn’t know how to use them, thus wasting such treasures.”

“Now, I will give these to you!”

“However, transplanting such treasures requires significant resources and time.”

“I suggest you perfectly integrate them after you arrive in the Central Plains!”

Sword Wushuang was somewhat dizzy from this sudden, grand gesture.

“Senior, can I, can I also go to the Central Plains?”

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, asking with a look of disbelief.

In his opinion, Senior Zhong Qing was taking his own Disciple, and he had no prior connection or interaction with the other party.

He had thought that after the revenge, it would be time for him and Lin Feng to part ways.

However, now, Feng Aotian not only gave him Double Pupils and a Sword Bone, but also offered to take him to the Central Plains—this, for him, was simply too much of a surprise.

“Naturally, you can go!”

Phoenix Aotian gave him an affirmative reply.

He knew that his Master was quite interested in the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

With the enhancement of the Double Pupils and Sword Bone, coupled with Zhong Qing’s foundation, securing a spot on the Heavenly Dao Rankings would not be difficult.

Sword Wushuang originally possessed a Sword Body, and although he now had a new physical body, his soul and the Sword Bone had a natural compatibility that most people couldn’t match.

Moreover, because the Sword Bone and Double Pupils had been nurtured by that woman for hundreds of years, they were naturally close.

If others were to integrate them, there was a high possibility of a repulsive reaction where the Double Pupils and Sword Bone would not merge. But Sword Wushuang would not encounter this situation; he was naturally more suited than others to integrate these Double Pupils and Sword Bone.

If he could be brought back to the Central Plains, it might bring a small surprise to his Master.

After Sword Wushuang heard the affirmative reply, he was already in a state of ecstasy.

“Thank you, Senior!”

He bowed deeply to Phoenix Aotian once more.

This time, Phoenix Aotian accepted it calmly.

“This matter is settled; we should depart. We need to find Du Hao and Young Master Bai Ling as quickly as possible.”

“We aim to return to the Central Plains within three days.”

At this moment, the setting sun had completely descended, and the moon had climbed into the branches.

The group came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Only the annihilated Tyrant Sky Sect remained, stirring up boundless, monstrous waves throughout the Southern Domain.

What kind of sect was the Tyrant Sky Sect?

It was a newly promoted top-tier sect, transcendent and incredibly prestigious.

Its Sect Master even possessed Double Pupils and a Sword Bone, with unfathomable cultivation, standing at the pinnacle of the entire Southern Domain.

Yet, such a sect was annihilated overnight.

Who could possess such power?

In the Southern Domain, there were eight top-tier powers in total.

They not only controlled the entire Southern Domain but also had much better access to information than others.

Not long ago, news of the Heavenly Sect’s destruction had spread.

Now, the Tyrant Sky Sect had also been annihilated overnight.

Was there some connection between these two events?

If so, what was the purpose behind it?

To eradicate the top-tier powers of the Southern Domain?

Upon thinking of this, many people felt their scalps tingle, and they gasped in cold air.

Many top-tier powers even formed alliances, huddling together for warmth to protect themselves.

They also secretly and openly inquired about the perpetrators and reasons behind the destruction of the Heavenly Sect and the Tyrant Sky Sect.

Under these actions, countless large, medium, and small forces throughout the Southern Domain felt an undercurrent surging, sensing that a major change was imminent.

Unfortunately, the major top-tier powers searched and searched but could not find any useful information.

It wasn’t until several, even more than ten, years later, when no major incidents occurred in the Southern Domain, that they truly lowered their guard.

And the reason why the entire Tyrant Sky Sect was annihilated overnight became an unsolved mystery.

Of course, none of this had any connection to Phoenix Aotian and the others, who were the culprits behind it all.

At this moment, they had searched the entire Eastern, Southern, and Northern Domains overnight.

For an existence like Phoenix Aotian, a single sweep of his divine sense brought millions of miles into view.

Finding someone was simply too easy.

Finally, everyone found Du Hao’s figure in a deep mountain cave outside a mortal city in the Eastern Domain.

The sun was high, and the sky was clear for thousands of miles.

In a deep mountain, Du Hao was sunbathing in front of his newly opened cave dwelling.

He squinted, a blade of grass in his mouth, lying on the grass, enjoying the warm morning sunlight.

As he turned over, he saw a group of ants moving house.

His eyes widened, and he carefully shifted his body.

“They say human lives are like ants.”

“Who knows if these seemingly insignificant ants will one day encounter opportunities and good fortune, thus becoming terrifying powerhouses who dominate the world?”

“Ants, oh ants, today you passed by my doorstep, and we can be considered to have formed a good karma.”

“If you ever become successful in the future, don’t come looking for trouble with me!”

Phoenix Aotian, high above the clouds, watched this scene, a little bewildered.

This was his Master’s third Disciple?

Why did he feel like his head wasn’t quite normal?

He descended through the clouds, about to greet Du Hao.

Du Hao, who was originally sunbathing, saw a person suddenly appear in front of him.

His eyes shot open.

“Holy cow!”

“This person’s strength is terrifying; he actually managed to get in front of me without me noticing.”

“More importantly, I can’t even discern his cultivation.”

“If a conflict were to arise, the probability of my demise would likely be as high as eighty percent.”

“Run!”

Without another word, he plunged directly into the ground, burrowing and escaping.

This scene utterly stumped Phoenix Aotian.
