Lu Qinghan, Helian Shiyue, Fall! The Mad Qianqiu Yuan!

Looking at You Xuan's terrified face, Lu Qinghan felt a strange sense of pleasure.

A cultivator far more powerful than himself humbly begged him.

That was so awesome!

Seeing that Lu Qinghan remained silent, You Xuan quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, to tell you the truth, I also hate Helian Shiyue to the bone."

If it weren't for her meddling, I certainly wouldn't have bothered you.

I know a Secret Method; if you and I join forces, we can completely erase Helian Shiyue's soul.

I will withdraw immediately and never attack again, what do you say?

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression turned ferocious.

He covered his head with both hands, exuding Evil Qi.

Helian Shiyue's voice came from within her body.

"You Xuan, you're asking for death!"

You promised me you'd help me kill Lu Qinghan!

Now you want to go back on your word!

Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!

In Helian Shiyue's mind, Lu Qinghan was a cowardly and power-hungry villain who would never give up any chance to save his life.

But this time she was wrong.

Lu Qinghan grinned and said coldly, "Helian Shiyue, you have never truly understood me from beginning to end."

But you've missed your chance.

Today... is your death day!

As the words fell, a violent aura surged from Lu Qinghan's body.

A streak of blue light parted the clouds and soared straight into the sky!

The thousand-foot-tall Green Lotus Seed hovered beneath the great formation!

This caused the entire formation to tremble violently.

With his gaze fixed on the Divine Sword Main Peak, Jian Yuntian, continued to fight desperately.

The nine Golden Core Peak Elders maintaining the sect's grand formation Burning Golden Cores, showing no sign of retreat.

Sword Sect disciples charged relentlessly towards the Evil Cultivator.

Lu Qinghan smiled.

The sound traveled from the clouds to everyone's ears:

"For eight hundred years, I, Lu Qinghan, have been single-mindedly pursuing the ultimate swordsmanship in order to seize power and satisfy my selfish desires with strength, but I have forgotten my original intention in embarking on the path of swordsmanship."

This caused his sword heart to become corrupted, halting his progress to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Now, the sect has suffered such a great calamity. Everyone in the sect is united in resisting the powerful enemy. Their hearts are as clear as if the clouds have parted and the sun has risen, and they have clearly seen their original intentions.

I wield this sword not to seize power, nor to kill, but to protect!

As he spoke, cracks appeared on the surface of the long sword in Lu Qinghan's hand, and an unparalleled aura swept across the sky.

Even through the Dust-Trapping God-Confining Array, everyone could still feel this irresistible pressure.

At this time, this place is nearly two hundred miles away from the Sword Mountain Ancestral Land.

With the Formation providing cover, the aftershocks from the self-destruction here would not pose a threat to the people of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect.

Upon seeing this, You Xuan screamed:

"You're insane! If you self-destruct your Nascent Soul and divine spirit, you won't even have a chance to be reincarnated!"

"So what?" Lu Qinghan laughed loudly, "The Nine Splendor Sword Sect has been passed down for ten thousand years and has gone through countless hardships. It is the result of the blood of our predecessors who protected it!"

I, Lu Qinghan, am not talented, but I am willing to emulate the sages of the past!

That's all!

Sword Sect —Live On!

Before the words had even faded, Lu Qinghan transformed into a streak of azure light and charged towards You Xuan.

The body, already swollen to its limit, shattered with a crash.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

The blinding light engulfed everything.

A terrifying shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami!

Rumble!

The towering mountains within a radius of fifty miles were instantly leveled to the ground.

A huge gap was blasted through the clouds, and the dark clouds retreated.

In an instant, the world lost its color, and the sun and moon lost their light!

The entire battlefield fell into a Dead Silence; everyone stood frozen in place.

They stared blankly at the blinding light high in the sky!

The rain continued to fall.

However, the color of the rainwater changed.

It turned blood red.

The drops fell on the cultivator's face, which showed a look of fear.

As the light faded, Lu Qinghan and Helian Shiyue were no longer visible in the sky.

This massive energy fluctuation caused all forces within a radius of tens of thousands of miles to halt their escape.

Staring blankly at the dark sky.

A Nascent Soul True Lord... has fallen.

Their eyes held excitement, emotion, sadness, and confusion.

Endless Sea, on a lonely island.

Zhang Xuanchen's face was filled with shock.

"Ling Shuang, which True Lord self-destructed?"

"It's the First Ancestor, Lu Qinghan," Luo Lingshuang blurted out.

A flash of coldness crossed his eyes.

Even though they were far apart, she could still sense that familiar presence.

A few years ago, if Little Lotus hadn't threatened to self-destruct, she would have been killed by Lu Qinghan by now.

But now... that's all in the past.

Zhang Xuanchen keenly noticed the fleeting coldness in Ling Shuang's eyes, but he didn't ask anything.

Turning to Zhang Chongxian, he asked:

"Ancestor, how long will it take to return to the Lineage from here?"

"At least seven months, and even longer if we encounter Demon Beast along the way."

"What about going to Worry-Free Island?"

There is Teleportation Array to Yunhua Immortal City in Forget -Worry-Free City on Worry-Free Island.

Not far from Worry-Free Island, in Wind Green Island, one can use Communication Talisman to send a message to Long Zhantian and plan the matter of the Dragon Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongxian gazed at the boundless sea and pondered for a moment.

He said in a deep voice, "At least a year!"

"Then let's go back to our Lineage first."

Zhang Xuanchen quickly made a decision. Yunhua Immortal City had Teleportation Array to Worry-Free Island, and spending nearly half a year traveling from here to Worry-Free Island was clearly not a wise choice.

Zhang Chongxian looked at Zhang Xuanchen's pale face and asked with concern:

"Xiao Chen, do you want to heal your injuries first?"

"Ancestor, my injuries will not heal in a short time. It is important to send the clansmen back to the Lineage and appease them."

Let's go.

Sword Mountain Ancestral Land.

"Ancestor!!!"

The disciples of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect were filled with grief. Their Ancestor, who had protected the Sword Sect for hundreds of years, had fallen!

They wept uncontrollably, their cries echoing through the heavens.

His eyes were filled with bloodlust as he looked at the members of the Soul Devouring Cult!

Zhou Tianjian was deeply moved by what he saw.

Despite his previous dissatisfaction with Lu Qinghan, he has now chosen to perish together with the leader of the Soul Devouring Cult for the sake of his sect.

That lingering hatred vanished like smoke.

There was only one thought in my mind.

That's revenge!

He swallowed an Explosion Pill, brandished his longsword, and roared:

"Gentlemen! Follow me! Kill these bastards! Avenge our Ancestor!"

Rush!"

"Rush!"

Another chaotic battle broke out.

Because of Lu Qinghan's death, the grief and anger unleashed by the remaining disciples of the Sword Sect actually repelled the Evil Cultivator's offensive.

That makes sense.

Helian Shiyue rarely showed his face to the members of the Soul Devouring Cult; they only knew his name, not his person.

There was absolutely no emotion involved.

Her death will only demoralize people.

But there was one exception.

That's Vice Leader Qianqiu Yuan!

Qianqiu Yuan lost both her parents at a young age and suffered all kinds of bullying. It was You Xuan who brought her to where she is today, making her second only to the emperor and above all others!

She let out a bloodcurdling scream at the thought of You Xuan's death:

"Master!"

The next moment, her eyes turned bloodshot and demonic, "Nine Splendor Sword Sect! I will make you all pay with your lives!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed towards Hua Shisan like a madwoman, her nascent Nascent Soul burning wildly within her body!

His cultivation level skyrocketed from the Nascent Soul Early Stage to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

He forced Hua Shisan to retreat with a knife!

At the same time, the Soul Severing Silk in his hand wove rapidly in the air, instantly forming a net that stretched from heaven to earth.

However, the attack was directed at the battlefield of the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If it falls, all cultivators within a ten-mile radius, whether disciples of the Sword Sect or Evil Cultivator, will perish.

Hua Shisan was startled upon seeing this.

Despite his severe injuries, he bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the Azure Nether Sea-Calming Sword, and unleashed his strongest Law Technique.

"Qianqiu Yuan! You've gone mad! You're even killing your own people!"

With my blood, I offer this sacrifice to the sword and vanquish evil!

The Nine Splendor Sky-Slaying Sword — One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces!

In an instant, Sword Intent erupted, and a torrent of azure surged upwards towards the Zhang Tian, carrying it into the sky and shattering it.

With the blessing of the Fourth-tier Peak Grade Spirit Artifact, the Azure Nether Sea-Calming Sword, he could even fight against the Dragon Court Lord Fourth Stage Middle Stage, without being at a disadvantage. Qian Qiuyuan, who only managed to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Qianqiu Yuan by burning his Nascent Soul, was simply delusional to think he could kill him!
