Slaying the Demon with One Sword, Returning to the Sect

"Where did this worm crawl out from? You're courting death!"

Seeing someone actually dare to charge at him with a sword, the Demon King flew into a rage.

"Who is this woman? She's actually this fierce!"

Everyone was stunned to see someone take the initiative to attack the Demonic Beast in the sky!

"Junior Sister, be careful!"

Lin Bai had never imagined that Junior Sister had borrowed his sword to...!

It was already too late to stop her!

He could only hope a miracle would happen!

The Demon King roared, Demonic Qi surging into the heavens as he brought down a palm with all his strength!

He was going to slap this death-seeking worm into pulp!

Mu Shuixian thrust her sword straight through his palm and continued flying upward.

The piercing pain from his palm made the Demon King even more violent.

Massive amounts of Demonic Qi swept across heaven and earth!

"Impossible!"

"Who are you? Why does the Eastern Domain still have an expert like you!"

the Demon King roared.

He could not understand why this worm was so young, yet possessed such formidable cultivation!

Hadn't the geniuses of the Eastern Domain all been slaughtered by them?

"A lowly ant has no need to know this one's name."

Mu Shuixian stood in the air with her sword in hand.

The Azure Lotus Sword in her hand shone with dazzling light, then an enormous Sword Qi slashed forth.

"No!"

Feeling a fatal threat, the Demon King roared.

"You damned Blood Food, just wait! Our Devil Race army will return in force! When that time comes, heh..."

Before the Demon King could finish speaking, the icy Sword Qi pierced through his body, and he vanished into smoke.

Lin Bai was completely dumbfounded. Junior Sister had slaughtered the Demon King...?

He watched that figure in the sky, Sword Qi crisscrossing around her. With one sword, she slew the demon, then departed in effortless grace.

He could not help sighing. His path as a sword cultivator still had a long way to go.

Though everyone had been saved, they were still in a daze.

If they remembered correctly, this secret realm was for disciples to train in, right? That Demon King could not even withstand one of your swords, so what were you doing here joining in our fun!

Only afterward did they realize that it must have been a life-saving trump card bestowed by the sect. The secret realm restricted Bone Age to below twenty-two, so it was impossible for such an expert to enter!

"Holy crap, Brother Shi! Your Junior Sister is actually this incredible!"

"Hehe, was that a life-saving trump card given by your Sect Master?"

Look at someone else's trump card, then look at their own—there was simply no comparison!

That damned Demon King had even said they were merely scratching an itch for him.

Damn it!

Wang Teng said resentfully. If that Demon King had not vanished into smoke, he would have gone up and given him two more kicks!

"Probably..."

Shi Hao finally came back to his senses from the shock.

These were not matters that he, as a disciple, ought to concern himself with.

"Your sword."

"Not a bad sword."

Mu Shuixian came before Lin Bai and handed the sword back to him.

As someone in the Great Emperor Realm, she naturally recognized the Azure Lotus Sword.

It was the Personal Sword of the Sword God from the Ancient Era.

She was merely curious why the sword was in Senior Brother Qing Yu's hands.

Back then, when the Sword God fell, his Personal Sword had disappeared as well. Sword cultivators throughout the Central Domain had searched frantically but found nothing. How had it ended up in the Eastern Domain?

Azure Cloud Sect...

"Ah, oh." Coming back to his senses, Lin Bai hurriedly took back his Personal Sword.

Over the following day, disciples from the various sects continued searching the secret realm. More or less, everyone gained something.

But no further lucky ones appeared. The Saint's inheritance had not appeared this time.

As the ending time arrived, a vortex appeared above the secret realm, identical to the one through which they had entered.

"Let's go, Brother Shi. The secret realm's exit has opened."

The secret realm's exit would only remain open for half a day. If they did not leave within that time, they could only wait until the secret realm opened again.

This trip had not been in vain.

Outside Qilin City, Qilin Dynasty.

The elders of every sect had already gathered here, hoping that their disciples would obtain the Saint's inheritance. Failing that, bringing back more resources would do as well.

The vortex appeared outside Qilin City, and disciples began emerging from it one after another.

As time nearly ran out, the disciples from the various sects had mostly come out.

Seeing that the number of disciples had dropped by more than half, everyone sighed with emotion.

The competition in this secret realm had truly been too fierce!

"How was it? Did the Saint's inheritance appear?"

An elder immediately stepped forward and asked impatiently.

"No, and we didn't find anything good either."

"No? Then why was the competition so fierce? So many people died?" the elder asked in confusion.

"Elder, we encountered a large number of Demonic Beasts inside! We nearly all ended up buried in the secret realm."

"Fortunately, the Holy Land and a powerful female genius took action and wiped them out."

Even now, the disciple speaking still felt lingering fear.

"Devils!"

"Brother Shi, then I'll take my leave. Come to Eastern Profound Holy Land for tea when you have the chance."

After saying that, Wang Teng turned and left with his remaining disciples.

This time, twenty-one people from their Holy Land had come including himself, and three had been lost in the secret realm.

"Farewell, Brother Wang."

Shi Hao and the other two also turned and left.

As the Saint Child of a Holy Land, Wang Teng did not put on much of an air, so they were willing to befriend him. One more friend meant one more path, though that guy did love showing off...

"Master!"

From afar, the three of them spotted Feng Qingyang and hurriedly ran over.

Feng Qingyang was chatting and laughing with the Qilin King.

"Yu'er, are you all right?"

"Your elder brother said he didn't see you at all in the secret realm. He said there were Demonic Beasts inside—did you encounter any?"

From the moment Hua Qingyu's elder brother entered the secret realm, he had been single-mindedly searching for opportunities. He had only heard about the Demonic Beasts inside from others.

He had also heard that the one who slaughtered the Demon King was a woman in a red dress. He was glad that he had not gone after hearing the rumors back then, or he might not have made it out alive.

"Father, I'm fine. It was all thanks to the protection of my two Senior Brothers."

Hearing Junior Sister's words, Shi Hao and Lin Bai's expressions became a little awkward.

They thought of that figure who had slain the demon with one sword...

"Haha, it's good that you're all right."

"I must also thank the two geniuses of the upper sects for protecting Yu'er."

"No, no, no. Qing Yu is our Junior Sister. It was only right, only right."

Shi Hao and Lin Bai did not even know what to say.

Were they supposed to say that your daughter was very strong, that she had wiped out the Demon King with one sword, and did not need our protection?

"All right, since there is nothing else to do here, let us return to the sect."

Everything was ready; all that remained was Opening the Mountain to Accept Disciples.

"Farewell, King."

Feng Qingyang stepped forward and said. Over the past two days, he had been treated to fine wine and rich food in the royal palace, experiencing a taste of luxurious living.

"Farewell, Sect Master Feng."

"Yu'er, cultivate diligently once you reach the upper sect."

After speaking, the Qilin King did not forget to remind her.

"Mm, I understand, Father."

After Hua Qingyu spoke, she boarded the Azure Cloud Warship with Shi Hao and the others.

On the way back.

"Master, we gained quite a lot this time!"

Shi Hao told Feng Qingyang the entire story of how they had obtained the Sacred Medicine in the ruins and slain the Demonic Beasts.

"Sacred Medicine."

Feng Qingyang fell into thought.

That was right, damn it! Azure Cloud Sect still did not have an alchemist. Should he have the ancestor invite—kidnap—an Alchemy Saint over?

"The Devil Race? Sooner or later, we'll pull them out by the roots!"

"It is good that the three of you are unharmed."

During those two days in the royal palace, Feng Qingyang had also learned about the origins of the Ancient Saint Secret Realm.

In summary: the strong preyed on the weak. There was no helping it; this was the cruel world of cultivation.

But once the knife and fish on the chopping block traded places, the Devil Race would learn just how terrifying Azure Cloud Sect of the Eastern Domain was!
