Astonishing Sword Dao Spiritual Treasure

After observing from outside the pit for a while, Tian Buyi's mood grew heavier. He even leaped directly into the pit, telling the other two to wait outside.

Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao waited for a considerable time before Tian Buyi emerged again, his expression grave.

"Uncle-Master Tian, did you find anything?"

The two anxiously asked Tian Buyi.

"There's nothing else in the pit, but there are many residual sword energy traces. Besides that, it's just scorched earth that was struck by lightning, and the spiritual energy inside is abnormally turbulent."

"This..."

Tian Buyi's eyes narrowed, and he remained silent for a long time.

"What do you mean by 'this'? Uncle-Master Tian, don't keep us in suspense now."

The two were eager to hear Tian Buyi's analysis, but he stopped talking, greatly piquing their curiosity.

"This indicates that this pit is where the Heavenly Treasure descended. Moreover, it's highly likely to be a sword-type treasure with a lightning attribute."

Tian Buyi said to them very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao were even more shocked into silence.

It was a Sword Dao Treasure!

It's known that nine out of ten disciples in the Qingyun Sect are sword cultivators. Tian Buyi, Qi Hao, and Lin Jingyu were all sword cultivators, making them more sensitive to Sword Dao Treasures. Currently, the Zhu Xian Sword, passed down from their ancestors in the Qingyun Sect, is a supreme innate spiritual treasure. The Patriarch wielded the Zhu Xian Sword to establish the prosperity of Qingyun.

For a sword cultivator, obtaining a good sword is like adding wings to a tiger. Furthermore, this Heavenly Treasure possesses the lightning attribute, one of the most ferocious attributes, making its power and destructive capability top-tier.

One could imagine how precious this Heavenly Treasure must be.

But now, even though the place where it descended was only tens of miles away from the Qingyun Sect, in Nine Yin Mountain, it had already been snatched away by the Demonic Cult. This was absolutely intolerable!

Lin Jingyu, in particular, gritted his teeth in hatred.

Before coming, he had thought that this Heavenly Treasure might recognize him, the proud son of heaven, as its master. He had even envisioned the envious gazes of others when he obtained it.

But now, they had confirmed it was a Heavenly Treasure, and it turned out to be a Sword Dao Treasure with the lightning attribute. Its compatibility with him was a perfect hundred percent; it was clearly prepared for him.

And now they were telling him that his fated supreme treasure had been snatched away by the Demonic Cult first?

How could this not enrage him!

"No, this matter is of great importance. Immediately notify all disciples to gather, and then we will go find those sneaky Demonic Cult members and reclaim the treasure!"

Tian Buyi made a decisive judgment. The current training expedition would be called off. The most urgent task was to recover the treasure.

Otherwise, if these Demonic Cult members obtained a Sword Dao treasure like the Zhu Xian Sword, it would inflict a severe blow to the righteous path.

"Okay!"

The two also understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly called back all the disciples who were on the expedition.

Shui Yue and Lu Xueqi, who had not gone far, received a telepathic message from Tian Buyi. Shui Yue stopped in her tracks, and Lu Xueqi, not understanding why, asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Your Uncle-Master Tian sent me a message saying that the Heavenly Treasure has been found, but it was taken by the Demonic Cult first. He wants me to return to discuss countermeasures with him."

Shui Yue said to Lu Xueqi with a frown.

"Then what about us now..."

On one hand, their junior brother's whereabouts were unknown, and the longer it took, the more dangerous it became. On the other hand, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Treasure were known, but it had been snatched by the Demonic Cult. Both matters were extremely important, so how should they decide?

"Let's go back first."

Although Shui Yue was worried about Su Changqing's safety, she understood the importance of the sect and the treasure. After weighing the options, she chose to deal with the treasure matter first.

Afterward, the two returned the way they came to gather with the others.

Tian Buyi looked at the reunited Qingyun Sect members and explained the matter of the Heavenly Treasure in detail. Like Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao, everyone was shocked.

Shui Yue, with a hint of doubt, stepped forward and examined the situation in the pit. She silently shot out a spiritual energy probe from her hand, and the result was roughly consistent with Tian Buyi's.

Seeing Tian Buyi's gaze, Shui Yue nodded at him.

This further confirmed the identity of the Heavenly Treasure.

A lightning-attribute Sword Dao Treasure that could summon heavenly lightning upon its descent?!

What a supreme treasure this must be!

Little Bamboo Peak possessed a top-tier sword cultivation technique perfectly suited for the lightning attribute, called the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique. It was currently the most terrifying sword cultivation technique in the world in terms of power.

Shui Yue glanced at her disciple Lu Xueqi beside her. She was cultivating this technique and was already an outstanding figure among the new generation of Qingyun Sect disciples. If she could obtain this supreme treasure, with the sword and the technique being compatible, the power unleashed could increase several times, even tens of times.

"Uncle-Master Tian, Uncle-Master Shui Yue, and fellow cultivators, we cannot let the Demonic Cult take this treasure. We must find them as soon as possible and retrieve it!"

While everyone was still in shock, Lin Jingyu, with a solemn and serious expression, encouraged the others.

Tian Buyi and Shui Yue frowned slightly. Why had Lin Jingyu made a decision before they had even spoken? However, his words were also correct, so there was no need to refute him.

Looking at the other disciples, they were all stirred by Lin Jingyu's words.

"Yes! Junior Brother Lin is right! Such a supreme treasure must not be taken by the Demonic Cult!"

"That's right! Nine Yin Mountain is only tens of kilometers away from our Qingyun Sect. It's clearly within our sect's territory, yet these detestable Demonic Cult members came to our land and snatched it away! This matter cannot end here!"

"Retrieve it! Retrieve it!"

The disciples were all impressed by Lin Jingyu and began to denounce the Demonic Cult's actions, their shouts growing louder and louder!

Lin Jingyu was very excited to see that he had managed to stir them up.

This is my influence, this is the charm of a favored son of heaven. Who else but Lin Jingyu could be the chief among the new generation of disciples?

"Alright, stop shouting for now. If we alert the Demonic Cult, it will be harder for us to find them."

Tian Buyi waved his hand, signaling the disciples to stop their calls. He then said to everyone, "We will no longer act separately. I will lead the team as we advance into the mountains to search for the whereabouts of the Demonic Cult members."

Following that, the group set off in a grand procession, heading deeper into the heart of Nine Yin Mountain.

At the same time, the Demonic Cult members were also searching for the 'murderer'.

"Sect Leader Qiu, a disciple has reported that a group of people are heading this way. Their attire suggests they are from the Qingyun Sect."

A Demonic Cult disciple rushed to report to Qiu Buping.

"People from Qingyun Sect? How did they end up here? Our information was never leaked. Could it be that the person from before was sent by them to gather intelligence?"

Qiu Buping was genuinely fearful upon hearing that people from Qingyun Sect were coming. After all, Qingyun Sect was currently the leading sect of the righteous path, and their strength was not to be underestimated. He, as a mere sect leader, could not handle them.

However, as members of the Demonic Cult, they were accustomed to fearlessness in all their dealings.
