25: The declining Tianjian Sect

Great Wu Empire!

Heaven Sword Sect!

A thousand years ago, Heaven Sword Sect’s prestige was immense, resounding throughout the entire Great Wu Empire and beyond.

Anyone from the Great Wu Empire knew of Heaven Sword Sect’s reputation; it was a household name.

Unfortunately, later on...

Heaven Sword Sect’s founder entered seclusion to Cultivate.

From then on, he never emerged.

Since then, Heaven Sword Sect began to decline and fall into disrepair, losing all its former glory.

From a once powerful Sword Dao School, it had fallen to a Sword Dao Sect almost on the verge of collapse.

“Swish!!!”

In the Void Realm.

A stunning figure, riding a Flying Sword, arrived above Heaven Sword Sect in the Void Realm.

She was the current Sect Head of Heaven Sword Sect!

The exquisitely beautiful Sword Immortal Pei!

Behind her.

The incomparably handsome Alchemist Liu Feng was embracing Sword Immortal Pei’s warm, fragrant waist the whole way, thoroughly enjoying himself!

“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”

“The once formidable Heaven Sword Sect has actually fallen to such a state!”

Liu Feng glanced at Heaven Sword Sect below and couldn’t help but sigh in wonder.

Liu Feng naturally knew of Heaven Sword Sect’s former prestige!

It was a Sect on the verge of collapse, with its Legacy broken and in decline.

“Sword Immortal Pei, looking at this vast Sect, why are there no Disciples?”

Liu Feng couldn’t help but ask Sword Immortal Pei.

The entire spacious plaza was devoid of people, filled with desolation and chill.

“Currently, there’s only one Disciple left in the Sect, and she’s still lying in bed.”

Sword Immortal Pei said somewhat reluctantly.

Looking at Heaven Sword Sect, only she and her Disciple remained.

Besides them!

There was no third person!

Over the years, no new Disciples were willing to join the declining Heaven Sword Sect.

Everyone avoided Heaven Sword Sect like the Poison Scorpion Sect!

What was the point of joining a declining Sect?

They couldn’t even provide the most basic Cultivation resources!

Therefore, no one was willing to join Heaven Sword Sect.

Over time, Heaven Sword Sect became increasingly dilapidated and declined.

“Young Master Liu, my Sect has only one Disciple left.”

“I beg you, please save her!”

Sword Immortal Pei slightly turned her beautiful face, her words full of pleading to Liu Feng.

This was not only the Sect’s only Disciple, but also Sword Immortal Pei’s only Disciple.

Therefore, to save her Disciple, she was willing to go through fire and water.

This was why?

She dared to challenge the Ten-Winged Heavenly Lion King alone with a single sword!

Because she truly didn’t want her Disciple to die!

“Rest assured, Jianxian!”

“Liu is a Fifth-Rank Alchemist!”

“Throughout the entire Great Wu Empire, there’s no one Liu cannot cure!”

Liu Feng spoke with confidence.

No matter the illness or severe poison, in front of the Fifth-Rank Alchemist Liu Feng, they were all insignificant.

Then.

Sword Immortal Pei rode her Flying Sword, leading Liu Feng to a boudoir within the Sect.

Behold!

This boudoir was decorated in soft pinks, filled with a girlish atmosphere.

This was Sword Immortal Pei’s boudoir.

Currently!

On the bed in the boudoir.

Lay a woman who had been poisoned.

Her aura was weak, and her originally rosy, fair skin had turned dark purple.

Her pretty face was filled with intense pain.

This severe poison, even from a distance, one could feel its intense and vicious toxicity!

“Sword Immortal Pei, quickly tell me, how did your Disciple get poisoned?”

Before treating, Alchemist Liu Feng first asked.

Upon hearing this, Sword Immortal Pei’s peerless face showed a look of difficulty.

Because even she didn’t know what severe poison her Disciple had been afflicted with.

“I don’t know!”

Sword Immortal Pei shook her head, stating truthfully.

“Ah?”

“She’s your Disciple, and you’re her Revered Master, yet you don’t even know what poison your Disciple has?”

Liu Feng said with incomprehension in his sharp, star-like eyes.

Sword Immortal Pei looked at Liu Feng with her jade-like face and explained: “I rarely pay attention to my Disciple!”

“I usually Cultivate Sword Dao in seclusion!”

“This time, if I hadn’t sensed something amiss with my Disciple through spiritual connection during my seclusion, I wouldn’t have even noticed she was poisoned.”

“When I hastily emerged from seclusion, I found my Disciple already lying on the ground, unable to get up.”

Sword Immortal Pei was in seclusion 365 days a year.

Calling her a female sword immortal was not an exaggeration at all.

The reason she went to the Ten-Winged Heavenly Lion King’s territory to seize something was because she had heard that the Ten-Winged Heavenly Lion King guarded a Heaven And Earth Treasure that could neutralize all poisons.

“Since you don’t know, then Sword Immortal Pei, please step aside for a moment.”

“Liu will release his Soul Power and perceive it, then there will be a conclusion.”

Unable to obtain information from Sword Immortal Pei, Liu Feng simply decided to release his Soul Power to investigate himself.

As a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, Liu Feng’s Soul Power could easily perceive a small area of Heaven And Earth!

And it could investigate all things in the world!

“Thank you, Young Master Liu!”

Sword Immortal Pei said.

And then.

Sword Immortal Pei made way for Liu Feng.

And Liu Feng, with a thought, suddenly released the vast and immense Soul Power contained within his body.

Immediately after.

Liu Feng manipulated his Soul Power and began a comprehensive investigation of Sword Immortal Pei’s Disciple.

Under the Soul Power of the Fifth-Rank Alchemist, the Meridians, bones, flesh, and cells of Sword Immortal Pei’s poisoned Disciple were all clearly displayed before Liu Feng’s eyes!

In a breath.

It only took a single breath.

Liu Feng had thoroughly investigated and understood the origin of the severe poison the woman was afflicted with.

“Your Disciple is afflicted with a severe poison called Serpent Scorpion Poison!”

“This poison is highly potent, like a serpent and scorpion, fierce and malicious!”

“Liu remembers!”

“Throughout the entire Great Wu Empire, the School that is most skilled at using this poison is the Poison Scorpion Sect!”

Liu Feng, in front of Sword Immortal Pei, stated the name and characteristics of the poison.

This included the Sect that favored using this poison.

“How could it be Serpent Scorpion Poison?”

Upon learning it was the malicious Serpent Scorpion Poison, a trace of panic flickered in Sword Immortal Pei’s beautiful eyes.

She had heard of the severity of this poison.

“Young Master Liu, do you have the confidence to neutralize this poison?”

Sword Immortal Pei looked directly at Liu Feng with her beautiful eyes, placing all her hope on Liu Feng.

She, though the Great Wu Empire’s foremost female sword immortal!

However!

She was only proficient in Sword Dao.

As for detoxification and saving lives?

She truly knew nothing and was helpless.

Liu Feng, upon hearing this, said with confidence: “This Revered Master is a Fifth-Rank Alchemist!

Neutralizing this poison is as easy as turning over a hand!”

Serpent Scorpion Poison, though fierce and malicious, and highly potent.

But it was facing the Fifth-Rank Alchemist Liu Feng!

For Liu Feng to neutralize Serpent Scorpion Poison, it was truly too simple!

“That’s great!”

“Then Young Master Liu, please quickly save my Disciple!”

Sword Immortal Pei pleaded joyfully.

And Liu Feng, with a wicked smile, said: “Sword Immortal Pei, this Revered Master can step in to save your Disciple!”

“However!”

“As you know, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world!”

“You must promise this Revered Master something!”

“No matter what request this Revered Master makes of you, you must satisfy and agree to this Revered Master!”

“Sword Immortal Pei, you surely don’t want to watch your Disciple die from the poison, do you?”
