Qiuyue Makes Her Move

Long Haoyi's aura instantly weakened, his face became extremely pale, devoid of any Blood Qi, and a deep sense of horror flashed in his eyes.

If he hadn't dodged in time, that Sword Qi would have killed him. Even so, he was still seriously injured by the residual power of the Sword Qi and almost died.

Although he was not invincible in Dali, he had stepped into the realm of 'Dao Master Realm'. In his era, he dominated Dali for many years and, apart from his elder brother, had few defeats.

I never imagined that I would be nearly killed by a single sword strike so soon after I just Su Xing. The Sword Cultivator of the Dali have become this powerful!

"Haoyi!!!"

Seeing that Long Haoran was severely injured and nearly died, Long Haoyi changed drastically. He quickly came to Long Haoyi's side, checked Long Haoyi's injuries, and Long Haoran's face darkened to the extreme.

That Sword Qi not only turned Long Haoyi's internal body upside down, but the Death Energy mixed in with the Sword Qi energy also spread from the sword's edge to his Dantian like a bone-deep wound.

If the Death Energy spreads to his Dantian, Long Haoyi's last remaining glimmer of life will likely be completely extinguished.

Long Haoran Mystic Art to try to dispel the remaining Sword Qi and Death Energy in Long Haoyi's body, but when his True Qi entered his body, he found that the Sword Qi was extremely domineering.

Not only could it contend with his True Qi, but the Death Energy it carried could also corrode his True Qi.

Long Haoran's eyes were filled with anxiety. He couldn't care less about Long Haoyi's nearly shattered body. He increased the output of his True Qi. After a long time, he finally dispelled all the Sword Qi and Death Energy. Long Haoyi was completely on the verge of death, as if a gust of wind could take his life.

Jian Xuzi, who was watching this scene from not far away, was equally dumbfounded, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

He was present when Ye Jing gifted him the Qiuyue Sword Talisman, but wasn't Ye Xiaoyou at the Grandmaster Perfection realm? When did he acquire such terrifying strength!

A single Sword Qi was enough to severely injure such a powerful expert; even his senior brother, the Sect Master, might not possess such ability.

Seeing Qiuyue pull out another Sword Talisman from her bosom, Long Haoran felt as if facing a formidable enemy, his eyes revealing deep apprehension.

Although his strength far surpassed Long Haoyi's, he wasn't confident he could withstand the Sword Qi contained within the Sword Talisman if he were truly struck.

Seeing the fear in the eyes of the person before her, Qiuyue was overjoyed. She raised the Sword Talisman in her hand, hoping to make Long Haoran back down.

"If you leave now, I may spare your life. Otherwise, if I crush this Sword Talisman, I fear your fate will be the same as that of the previous person."

Long Haoran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Young lady, if you don't threaten me, I will still be wary of the Sword Talisman in your hand. Threatening me only exposes your bluff."

"If you were truly confident you could severely injure me, you would have already done so."

"If I'm not mistaken, the power of your Sword Talisman is indeed astonishing, but it can only achieve a surprise effect. If one takes precautions, its power will certainly be greatly reduced."

Having held a high position, Long Haoran had an unparalleled understanding of people's hearts. Although he spoke of making speculations, he was already certain that Qiuyue was bluffing.

Using his Mystic Method, Long Haoran vanished from his spot and reappeared just three feet away from Qiuyue. Qiuyue hurriedly crushed the Sword Talisman, but Long Haoran was already on guard.

Although the Sword Qi contained within the Sword Talisman was powerful, Long Haoran easily dodged it.

Long Haoran reached out to capture Qiuyue, but suddenly, the hairs on his body stood on end. Looking outside the Sword Pavilion, his eyes were filled with fear. He released Qiuyue and frantically dodged to the side.

A terrifying sword light seemed to rip through the entire sky, descending from the heavens with overwhelming force, splitting the entire Sword Pavilion in two.

A hint of relief flashed in Long Haoran's eyes. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would probably have been killed by that sword.

Ye Jing slowly descended from the sky into the Sword Pavilion. Seeing that Qiuyue was alright, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

"Young Master, what are you doing here!"

Seeing Ye Jing suddenly appear from the sky, Qiuyue was momentarily stunned, but then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly ran to Ye Jing.

"Qiuyue, take Senior Jian Xuzi with you first, I will come to find you later."

"Yes, young master."

Following Ye Jing's instructions, Qiuyue took the severely injured Jian Xuzi away from the Sword Pavilion.

Long Haoran could only watch Qiuyue leave, not daring to make the slightest move, because the boy in front of him looked like a harmless Scholar.

The person before him had clear eyes and was quite young, looking no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, but Long Haoran certainly didn't think he was just an ordinary teenager.

Based on that Sword Qi just now, there are only a handful of people in the entire Great Li Imperial Family who could withstand Sword Qi.

Long Haoran's eyes were filled with apprehension, and he went so far as to invoke the entire Great Li Imperial Family to threaten him. "Senior's cultivation is profound, reaching the realm of returning to simplicity and truth. This junior admires you!"

"But does Senior truly intend to become an enemy of the Great Li Imperial Family? The Great Li Imperial Family has a profound foundation, and it's not uncommon for Imperial Ancestor to possess cultivation levels like Senior's."

"Your skill is astounding, senior, yet you may not be a match for our Great Li Imperial Ancestor. You should think twice!"

"They're treating me like an old monster!" Ye Jing chuckled inwardly, offering no explanation, and looked at Long Haoran as if he were already dead.

He continued, "I believe my methods were flawless, leaving no trace of evidence. But how did your Great Li Imperial Family know that Qiu Ye was hiding in the Sword Sect?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Long Haoran's eyes, and he exclaimed, "The deaths of those two disciples of the Grand Void Li Clan Ancient Clan were actually caused by you, senior!"

Hearing Long Haoran's words, Ye Jing was also filled with suspicion. "Since you don't know that I was the one who did it, how did you find out about the whereabouts of that Innate Dao Body!"

"Reporting to the senior, the Thirteenth Elder of the Taixu Li clan determined from the remaining Sword Rhyme that this was the work of Sword Cultivator. In the entire Imperial Capital, only Jian Xuzi possesses such Sword Cultivator strength."

Long Haoran lowered his stance even further. "However, this junior will definitely not tell the elders of the Taixu Li Clan what you have done. If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."

The Grand Void Li Clan Ancient Clan actually knew where Qiuyue was hiding! A deep look flashed in Ye Jing's eyes.

He remembered that Jian Xuzi had once said that these Ancient Clan were bound by the rules of heaven and earth and could not appear in the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, but could only hide in the Mystic Realm.

Only when the Heaven and Earth Cataclysm reach their peak, and the power of the rules in the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth assimilates the Dao principles in the Mystic Realm, will those hidden in the Mystic Realm be able to appear in the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, free from the Heaven and Earth Shackles and earth.

The Heaven and Earth Cataclysm have already begun, and it will take at least a few months, and at most a few years, for them to evolve to their peak.

Qiuyue's whereabouts have been discovered by the Li Clan Ancient Clan. How could the Li Clan Ancient Clan possibly let Qiuyue go in the future?

After learning the whole story, Ye Jing killed Long Haoran with a single sword strike, and then went to find Qiuyue with a heavy heart.
