I had found a way, and putting it into practice was merely a process. I swung the Heaven-Scourging Divine Sword, preparing to infuse the mother and child divine swords with souls simultaneously!
Just then, perhaps because my pause had caused the aura on the horizon to calm, I suddenly discovered several auras flickering in and out around us. It seemed they had noticed the change in my expression. Sun Hanxi quickly said, "Brother Yi, you were busy forging the swords just now and neglected your surroundings, didn't you? They arrived long ago. Faced with this vast heavenly might, they didn't dare approach, and I've done my best to maintain this aura-isolating formation so you wouldn't be exposed right away. But now, not only have they refused to retreat, they've grown bolder and bolder. It seems they're about to force their way in..."
"Heh, no matter. I wonder which immortal household they came from?" I said with a cold laugh. This was no different from seeking death.
"They should be from the Firmament Gate. Apart from the Far Eastern Immortal Gate, the Firmament Gate is the largest here. There are few sects in the Far East—either they're bizarrely large or exceptionally powerful. The Firmament Gate is the former, while the Far Eastern Immortal Gate is the latter. The territories occupied by those two sects are envied by every other sect." Sun Hanxi explained.
I smiled. Since people from the Firmament Gate had come, there was no reason for me to hold back my savagery. I held the sword in my hand horizontally before me and lightly brushed a finger over its blade. At the same time, the dense aura around my body began spreading outward in waves.
"Is that a sword song?" Sun Hanxi asked in astonishment as she watched me.
