Chapter 116: Lu Qinghan, the strongest patriarch of the Huajian Sect!
Just then, a young man dressed in the robes of a disciple rushed up to the rooftop, his face filled with anxiety.
"Uncle-Master, Master is looking for you. He says he has urgent business with you!"
The young man was none other than Zhou Tianjian.
He is a disciple of the sect leader of the Nine Hua Sword Sect, who is the grand-nephew of Hua Laozu. Luo Ling Shuang is Hua Laozu's disciple, meaning she is of the same generation as the sect leader.
It's perfectly correct for him to address me as his senior uncle.
After the battle in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm, he was extremely respectful to Luo Lingshuang.
It could even be described as awe.
They no longer considered her a contender for the position of sect leader.
Whenever Luo Lingshuang needed help, Zhou Tianjian would not hesitate to take it upon himself. If he could do it, great; if not, he would drag Liu Yunshu along to help.
He didn't utter a single word when asked not to mention the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm.
The disciples and stewards of the Nine Hua Sword Sect were all dumbfounded, and some even thought that Zhou Tianjian wanted to pursue Luo Lingshuang.
But Liu Yunshu quickly clarified the matter.
Zhou Tianjian saw everyone's reactions but did not offer any explanation.
He only displayed an expression of being the only one who was sober while everyone else was drunk.
That's someone who owns a magical artifact!
Moreover, when I happened to see that when Hua Shisan Laozu spoke to Luo Lingshuang, he was very polite and respectful, without any airs of a master.
Everything is discussed with her.
These two points alone are enough to prove that Luo Lingshuang's identity is extraordinary!
If he continues to make provocative remarks as often as before, then he's a complete idiot.
The kind that's beyond saving.
Upon hearing Zhou Tianjian's voice, Luo Lingshuang calmly replied:
"I see."
After saying that, he leaped down from the high platform, stepping on a light blue longsword, and transformed into a long rainbow as he flew towards the towering sword mountain.
The Nine Hua Sword Sect has seven peaks, and the master of each peak is a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of his cultivation.
They hold a lofty position and possess unfathomable strength.
Inside the magnificent golden hall at Divine Sword Peak.
A young man dressed in a cyan-gold robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, sat on the throne of the peak master, exuding an aura of a superior.
The next moment, Luo Lingshuang appeared inside the main hall.
He bowed to the young man seated at the head of the table.
"Disciple Luo Lingshuang greets Sect Master."
Upon seeing Luo Lingshuang arrive, Jian Yuntian, the sect master of the Nine Hua Sword Sect, dared not be negligent and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Hey, there are no outsiders here, Junior Sister Luo, there's no need for such formalities."
Luo Lingshuang nodded and said nothing more.
Jian Yuntian didn't mind and smiled, saying, "Junior Sister Luo, it's like this. Jiang Ke, a disciple of Shadow Sword Peak, discovered a Soul Devouring Cult hideout in Falling Moon Canyon. According to the investigation, the highest cultivation level in this hideout is at the peak of Foundation Establishment."
They are quite strong.
However, none of the Golden Core cultivators or above within the sect could leave, and ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators were afraid they wouldn't be able to handle the situation, so they wanted to ask their junior sister to take someone with them.
We must wipe out this den of thieves.
Would my junior sister be willing?
Jian Yuntian's tone was gentle, not at all coercive, but rather imploring.
In recent years, the Jiuhua Sword Sect has suffered heavy losses, and he, as the sect leader, is under immense pressure.
He had clearly sensed that the Soul Devouring Cult was after the Nine Hua Sword Sect!
It started with that attack several years ago.
While the Soul Devouring Cult was killing mortals and cultivators everywhere to refine Blood Spirit Pearls, it was also assassinating cultivators of the Nine Hua Sword Sect.
This gave him a major headache.
For no reason at all, I just can't figure out why.
As the number of casualties among the sect's disciples increased, with core disciples, personal disciples, and even elders being killed, Jian Yuntian knew he could no longer wait and had to take action.
So he summoned his disciples to sweep through the Soul Devouring Cult's gathering places and fight a bloody battle with the cult's powerful members. In the end, they suffered a crushing defeat.
Only then did he issue a summons, calling on all forces in the Eastern Tianlong Sea to unite against the enemy.
He had also asked Hua Shisan why he was being targeted by the Soul Devouring Cult.
Unfortunately, it seems I touched on some taboo, so I didn't tell him.
He only said one sentence:
Evil practitioners should be punished by everyone!
When he asked the other elders, they all remained silent, but the more they did so, the more uneasy he felt.
But there was no other way; he was the sect leader of the Nine Hua Sword Sect, and in this situation, he had to fight the Soul Devouring Sect to the bitter end!
Otherwise, the Jiuhua Sword Sect's millennia-old foundation will be destroyed in an instant!
Upon hearing Jian Yuntian's words, Luo Lingshuang did not refuse.
She knew better than anyone else what the situation was like at this moment with the Nine Hua Sword Sect.
Xiaolian had already analyzed it thoroughly.
"Sect Master, rest assured, as long as the investigation confirms the facts, this disciple will definitely complete the mission."
But if there are Golden Core cultivators in that hideout, I won't take the risk.
Please grant me permission, Sect Master.
Jian Yuntian naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately agreed:
"Haha, that's for sure. If any unexpected situation arises, Junior Sister can make her own decision."
Life is the most important thing.
"That's good. As for bringing people, there's no need. I can manage on my own."
"Sect Master, farewell."
After saying that, he walked out of the main hall.
It wasn't that she was being arrogant, but if she presented the truth about the highest cultivation level in the hideout—that the highest cultivation level was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage—she could definitely handle it herself.
If we bring people along, we'll definitely be distracted from protecting them.
If someone dies at your hands, it will affect your mood and even your Dao heart; it's too troublesome.
Therefore, she usually goes on missions alone, or at most with another person.
After Luo Lingshuang left, Jian Yuntian was left standing alone in the empty hall.
"Ancestors, what exactly are you hiding...?"
……
The headquarters of the Soul Devouring Cult.
The sky was shrouded in a perpetually persistent leaden-gray miasma.
The ground was covered with dark purple moss, which was very sticky when stepped on and released a strong smell of decaying bones and blood.
Inside the main hall.
The walls were covered with twisted black runes, which glowed with an eerie red light in the dim environment.
Screams of agony echoed from all around.
On the blood-red jade bed, a woman lay half-reclined.
She possessed a bewitching figure that could captivate all beings; her snow-white, jade-like shoulders accentuated the deep cleavage of her chest; her waist was slender; and she wore a blood-red dress with a slit that reached her waist.
Her long, slender, and alluring white legs were exposed, her black hair was loose, and her fingertips casually stroked the skull carving next to the armchair. She was like a demonic flower growing in a sea of blood.
Beauty is deadly, allure is soul-devouring.
Looking at the storage ring of the Jiuhua Sword Sect disciple in his hand.
A seductive voice slowly rose:
"Lu Qinghan, this sect leader has hidden himself for centuries, and now it's time for blood debts to be repaid!"
If Jian Yuntian heard this name, it would definitely surprise him greatly.
Because Lu Qinghan is none other than the current strongest patriarch of the Nine Hua Sword Sect!
