The Mystic Dark Sword Sect's Legacy
Lu Yang was taken aback, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
Judging from their expressions... could that man be their friend?
This is bad; I just killed him.
Lu Yang paused for a moment, remaining vigilant, and then said tactfully, "Well... it seems he was corrupted by the Greater Yin Sha Qi and died."
Lu Yang didn't say that he was the one who killed them, so as not to upset them too much.
One of the women, in particular, is now in a rather unstable condition.
If he were to provoke this person further, Lu Yang wasn't sure if something might happen to him.
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, the two women seemed surprised that it was he who had killed the rotting man.
They fell silent. Their withered faces, devoid of flesh and blood, were nothing but skin clinging to skulls, so no expression could be seen. Yet, Lu Yang could still sense their sorrow.
Qin Nanyue couldn't help but ask, "Seniors, who... who is that sealed man?"
The woman at the head of the group slowly said, "He is our junior brother. His cultivation is not as high as ours, but he is at the Void Refinement Perfection. Back then, in order to seal and suppress that Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost, he was responsible for acting as bait, luring the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost the encirclement so that we two could have a chance to seal it... However, he was corrupted by the Yin Sha Qi, so we could only seal him away, hoping to heal him after the war. We never expected..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue fell silent.
Unexpectedly, the rotting man was sealed away for this very reason.
Unfortunately, when the seal was broken, the rotting man, unlike the two women, did not retain any self-awareness. He was essentially dead, and a completely corrupted Yin-evil monster.
Lu Yang had no other choice but to kill him.
After a moment of silence, the woman, who was usually quiet, let out a low, hoarse groan, pulling everyone back to reality.
Lu Yang, Qin Nanyue, and the woman in the lead all looked at her.
The black lines on her body surface slowly increased again, although the increase was not fast, the speed was very stable.
Seeing this, Lu Yang frowned and tried his best to circulate his Greater Yin Qi to absorb the Yin Sha Qi in her body, but the situation still did not improve.
The woman at the head of the group sighed softly, a hint of sadness in her voice, and said hoarsely, "Junior sister... I'm afraid it's time."
Lu Yang paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you encountered this situation before? Is it recoverable?"
The leading woman slowly shook her head. "We two have been asleep. We only woke up after you two entered the territory of the Mystic Dark Sword Sect and came to stop you from entering the Mystic Dark Sword Sect, lest you release the suppressed Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost. I didn't expect that we two are now so weak that we can no longer resist the Yin Sha Qi within our bodies."
After saying this, the woman looked deeply at her junior sister, whose black markings were still increasing, and slowly said, "Junior sister... senior sister, I'll see you off on your way."
The woman, who resembled a skeleton and wore a long black and blue dress, straightened up, bowed respectfully, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister."
The woman nodded, her eyes fixed on the gray-black, and she gently touched the woman's brow with her skeletal fingers, forming a sword-like gesture.
The next moment, Lu Yang clearly felt a surge of Sword Qi erupting forth.
This Sword Qi was like a vast ocean, stretching endlessly and surging to the heavens, yet it was also incredibly restrained, which was quite contradictory.
Lu Yang felt a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end.
This fusion of Sword Dao Principle and Water Dao Principle... is far more powerful than that of the rotting man from before.
That's right. That rotting man was at the Void Refinement Realm, while these two women were true Integrated Body Realm cultivators!
It goes without saying how strong one's understanding of the Principle is when one reaches the Integrated Body Realm.
Lu Yang was able to defeat that rotting man before, but he's probably no match for this woman.
The difference in their levels of understanding of the Principles is too great.
As the woman pointed her sword, the woman, whose black markings were multiplying, slowly closed her eyes, and a sense of peace appeared on her skeletal face.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and finally, her voice rang out. "Senior sister, see you on the way."
With a wave of her hand, the senior sister swept up the falling corpse, carried it to the ground, and gently placed the body on the ground.
Then, she looked at Lu Yang, a hint of relief in her voice, and slowly said, "Young friend, I'm afraid I can't hold on much longer. I'll have to trouble you again. Also... after we both die, the seal that suppresses us might not be able to hold back that Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost. Although a long time has passed, that Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost probably still has strength no weaker than Nascent Soul Realm. Your cultivation levels are too low; staying here will only replenish its power. Let's go, take the cultivators who entered the secret realm, leave this place, and then seal the exit of this secret realm... otherwise, your plane might become the next Heavenly Azure Realm."
Hearing the woman's words, Lu Yang remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and said softly, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. In that case, I will proceed."
The woman chuckled softly, nodded slowly, and then said, "Bury me and my junior sister together, bury us here. We grew up in the Mystic Dark Sword Sect; this is our home. Although the Heavenly Azure Realm is gone, the Mystic Dark Sword Sect is in ruins, and we both died here... I still hope to continue guarding the Mystic Dark Sword Sect, and I think my junior sister feels the same way."
Lu Yang nodded slightly. "Okay!"
The woman glanced at her fingers; they were bare and bony. She said softly, "Wait a moment."
As she spoke, she closed her eyes slightly. The next moment, a whooshing sound came from afar, and a black jade ring flew in front of the woman.
The woman reached out and stroked the ring, a hint of regret in her eyes. "The magic has faded... Yes... It's been too long."
She handed the black jade ring to Lu Yang and said softly, "Young friend, this is the sect leader's ring of my Mystic Dark Sword Sect. It contains the sect's inheritance. Some things may be useless now, but the Cultivation Method and Law Technique should still be usable... Young friend, you have extraordinary talent. I hope you can carry on our sect's legacy."
Lu Yang nodded slightly and said seriously, "No problem!"
Just kidding, this is the inheritance of a major power at the Integrated Body Level!
The contents inside are an immense treasure trove for the entire Canglan Realm!
Now that even the two sword masters of the Mystic Dark Sword Sect are about to die, and this sword master has even passed on his legacy to him, Lu Yang naturally cannot refuse.
Lu Yang took the black jade ring. The woman slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "Young friend, let's begin..."
Lu Yang took a deep breath, a glint of golden light flashing in his eyes.
The next moment, just like the woman, he put his two fingers together to form a sword finger and gently touched the woman's brow.
The laws of Sword Dao Principle and Metal Dao Principle surged forth, shattering the woman's essence and causing her soul to crumble.
The woman finally exclaimed in amazement, "Such powerful Principle... Young friend, your future is bright... The position of immortal is as easy as taking candy from a baby for you."
As her last sigh faded, her body swayed and fell to the ground. Lu Yang quickly caught her and gently placed her next to his junior sister.
Looking at the two bodies, Lu Yang remained silent for a moment. His Spiritual Qi surged, and he dug two deep pits in the ground for them, burying them in them and covering them with soil.
Throughout the entire process, Qin Nanyue quietly helped without saying a word.
Only after burying the two did Qin Nanyue sigh softly, "I never thought that even a great cultivator at the Integrated Body Realm would one day die."
Lu Yang chuckled lightly, "I'm afraid even immortals will one day die."
Qin Nanyue wrinkled her nose, looking incredulous. "Hmph... Immortals are immortal, how could they possibly die?"
Lu Yang shook his head. "So what if I get killed?"
Qin Nanyue paused, then realized that what Lu Yang said seemed to make some sense.
However, for Qin Nanyue, it still felt like her worldview had collapsed.
Who would have thought that even immortals could die?
What is the purpose of pursuing immortality?
Just as Qin Nanyue was in a daze, suddenly, a subtle fluctuation came from ahead.
The fluctuations were initially very subtle, but gradually they became vast and turbulent.
In just a moment, a black beam of light shot into the sky, soaring straight into the heavens. Dense Yin Sha Qi spread in all directions, suffocating everyone.
Qin Nanyue's eyes widened in shock. "This... could this be the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost that these two seniors were talking about?"
