Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven! A Sword That Spanned Worlds! Qingyun Sect Was Shocked!

Atop the mountain peak.

A green-robed youth stood with his sword.

He held a bloodstained, white-robed Cold and Aloof Girl in his arms. His gaze was cold, murderous intent lurking within it, while terrifying Sword Intent surged into the sky and brilliant Sword Light split the heavens...

At that moment.

He held nothing back.

He raised the Tianya Divine Sword in his hand.

And swept it lightly.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, a terrifying Sword Light shot into the sky.

Brilliant azure light illuminated most of Qingyun Sect's night sky. Boundless Sword Intent nearly pierced the clouds, and the surrounding mists were scattered in an instant. Only a Sword Light that pressed relentlessly forward slashed toward Zhou Yin and the other assassins...

At the sight of this.

Zhou Yin and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Without hesitation, they summoned their Magic Treasures in an attempt to fight back.

But,

that was no more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Rumble—"

The brilliant Sword Light annihilated every obstacle. The Sword Qi corroded the many Magic Treasures, leaving them dim and dull. Not only could they not block the attack, they only deepened the despair in everyone's hearts.

"No!"

Zhou Yin and the others stared wide-eyed.

They turned to flee, but it was already too late...

No!

Rather,

from the moment they laid eyes on Ye Changfeng,

they had already lost any chance of surviving!

"Boom!"

The Sword Light annihilated everything.

Several Demonic Sect Assassins were cut in half.

Even Zhou Yin, known as the Demonic Cult's Number One Assassin, was no exception.

"Whoosh—"

The brilliant Sword Light continued to split the heavens.

After killing several Demonic Sect Assassins, it did not pause for even a moment. It slashed straight into the night sky, its azure radiance seeming to tear apart the entire star-strewn firmament. Blue light flashed like lightning, illuminating the world.

This sword—cleaved the heavens!

And with that,

the entire Qingyun Sect was shaken.

Several Sword Lights shot up from Heaven-Reaching Peak and Great Bamboo Peak.

True Lord Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and even the many Qingyun Sect elders rushed toward Little Bamboo Peak at once;

At the same time,

the Demonic Sect Assassins lying in wait at the other peaks, preparing to carry out their assassination plans, were so frightened by the sight that they immediately retreated into hiding, temporarily calling off their assassination attempt...

Little Bamboo Peak, Quiet Bamboo Pavilion.

A cool and aloof Daoist nun suddenly soared into the air.

Her graceful figure swept through the night like a breeze. Without hesitation, she raced toward Moon Gazing Platform, a hint of worry glimmering in her clear eyes.

"Xueqi..."

At that moment.

Moon Gazing Platform.

Ye Changfeng gently held the white-robed girl in his arms.

Seeing his future wife's pale face and the conspicuous bloodstains on her white dress, he could not help the pang of heartache that surfaced in his eyes...

"Longevity Hall!"

Ye Changfeng's gaze turned slightly cold.

He gently laid Lu Xueqi down in the pavilion on Moon Gazing Platform.

Then, after a moment's hesitation,

he took off his green robe.

And draped it over the girl's delicate body.

Finally, he placed the Tianya Divine Sword beside her...

Once he had done all this,

Ye Changfeng turned and left without hesitation.

However,

just as he departed,

a figure in white suddenly appeared on Moon Gazing Platform.

A cool and aloof Daoist nun swept across the platform in an instant. Her gaze scanned the surroundings, and she immediately spotted Lu Xueqi beneath the pavilion. Her expression changed at once:

"Xueqi!"

Shuiyue flashed forward.

She reached the pavilion and saw the unconscious girl. She hurriedly checked her injuries, and only after confirming that Xueqi had merely fainted did she let out a sigh of relief...

Shuiyue's gaze darkened.

She turned to survey the wreckage around her and noticed the mutilated bodies on the ground. She recognized who they were...

"Longevity Hall?!"

The cool and aloof Daoist nun's voice was cold.

At the same time,

she noticed the green robe draped over Lu Xueqi.

Shuiyue furrowed her brow slightly.

A strange look surfaced in her eyes.

"Whoosh!"

At that same moment,

several Sword Lights raced toward them.

True Lord Daoxuan was the first to arrive at Moon Gazing Platform.

He cast a grave glance at the surroundings, then came to stand beside Shuiyue and asked with a frown, "Junior Sister Shuiyue, what happened?"

As he spoke,

he also noticed Lu Xueqi, unconscious in her bloodstained white dress.

True Lord Daoxuan's expression changed.

"Niece Xueqi..."

"She's only unconscious."

Shuiyue gently gathered Lu Xueqi into her arms.

Her expression darkened as she surveyed the wreckage around them and demanded, "Senior Brother, the Sect Leader, how did the Demonic Sect manage to infiltrate Little Bamboo Peak without a sound? Is the defense of our Qingyun Sect completely useless!?"

"Senior Sister!"

Su Ru and Tian Buyi arrived just then.

True Lord Daoxuan frowned slightly.

He said in a low voice, "Rest assured, Junior Sister Shuiyue. I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

As he spoke,

True Lord Daoxuan looked around.

He carefully examined the traces left at the scene and recognized the identities of several bodies on the ground.

"The Demonic Cult's Number One Assassin?"

"Zhou Yin of Longevity Hall!"

True Lord Daoxuan's expression darkened slightly.

Tian Buyi and Su Ru came to stand beside Shuiyue. Before Su Ru could prompt him, Tian Buyi took out the healing medicine he always carried—the Great Yellow Pill!

Shuiyue accepted the Great Yellow Pill.

She quickly fed one to Lu Xueqi in her arms, and only then did the worry in her heart slowly fade...

"Junior Sister Shuiyue."

"Were these Demonic Sect Assassins killed by you?"

True Lord Daoxuan asked pensively.

"No."

Shuiyue shook her head slightly.

Not her?!

The people present were taken aback.

Shuiyue said nothing. She only looked at the green robe draped over Lu Xueqi, a thoughtful look in her eyes...

At the same time,

the others present also followed Shuiyue's gaze and noticed the green robe covering Lu Xueqi.

A strange look appeared in their eyes.

"Whoosh—"

In the dark night sky,

azure Sword Light flickered faintly.

Brilliant Sword Intent was still tearing through the Sky Dome.

The people looked at the Sword Light illuminating the entire night sky, then at the green robe on Lu Xueqi, and immediately understood...

It wasn't Shuiyue.

Then it could only have been someone else.

Heaven-Reaching Peak.

Ancestor Shrine.

An old man dressed in hemp slowly opened his eyes.

He walked out of the shrine.

And raised his gaze to the Sky Dome.

He witnessed that sword, powerful enough to tear apart the sky.

Azure Sword Light split the heavens. The terrifying Sword Intent lingered without fading, tearing through the sky as it stood, striking fear into all those who had been itching to make a move...

Such Sword Intent?

Such Swordsmanship?

It definitely did not belong to anyone in Qingyun Sect!

Wan Jianyi's eyes flickered slightly. Someone suddenly came to mind: the future Sect Leader exposed in the Heavenly Curtain, hailed as the Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven!

Could it—

be him!?

Wan Jianyi pondered.

He knew every Head of Qingyun Sect's various peaks well.

He was certain that none of them could have unleashed that sword.

Because—

they did not possess such pure Sword Intent.

If anyone in Qingyun Sect could unleash that sword,

it was probably only the Azure Cloud Sect Leader, hailed as the 'Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven'!

Wan Jianyi pondered for a moment.

After much thought, he finally chose to leave the Ancestor Shrine. Following that faint trace of Sword Intent, he raced in the direction of Great Bamboo Peak...
