This Man's Sword Qi Was Far Too Tyrannical

After the Divine Wood Sect split from the Five Elements Sect, it took over the territory of four of the Eastern Wasteland Nineteen Kingdoms.

However, since these four countries were all within the sphere of influence of the Five Elements Sect, although the Divine Wood Sect is now nominally the superior sect of the Four Kingdoms, since the division of the sect has not been completed for more than a hundred years, many Cultivating Family still have lingering ties with the Five Elements Sect.

There was a Foundation Establishment family in the Jian Country, named the Yuan Clan.

The ancestor of the Yuan Clan was originally Rogue Cultivator. Due to his outstanding talent and profound opportunities, he actually overcame the life-or-death crisis without the Foundation Establishment and successfully Foundation Establishment a hundred years ago.

But there's actually more to the story.

The Yuan Clan family's residence is called Black Cloud Mountain, located at the summit of the mountain with the most abundant Spirit Vein, where the rank has reached the lower Third Grade grade.

The patriarch of the Yuan Clan, Yuan Hongyuan, Foundation Establishment Cultivator, lived here, overlooking the area below the mountain.

"Find a way to kill this person."

Today, an uninvited guest arrived at Black Cloud Mountain. After landing, he turned his back to Yuan Hongyuan and dropped a portrait.

Who is this person?

After Yuan Hongyuan accepted the offer, he discovered that it was from a very young-looking teenager.

"The Top True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect."

The visitor did not hide anything and told the truth.

"If I were to take action, regardless of whether I succeed or not, I'm afraid the Yuan Clan would no longer be able to stay in the Four Kingdoms."

As Yuan Hongyuan spoke, he crumpled the portrait in his hand into a ball and frowned.

"Don't forget that you are where you are today because my sect bestowed upon you a Foundation Establishment Pill."

After saying this, the person snorted coldly and, without lingering, transformed into a ray of light and disappeared from the Black Cloud Mountain.

Yuan Hongyuan stood under a spirit tree laden with peaches, pondering for a long time. He sighed deeply and walked down the mountain he hadn't left in ten years.

"Ancestor, why didn't you inform us when you came out of seclusion?"

In the main hall of the Yuan Clan family, the current patriarch Yuan Shaoyuan, was surprised to see Yuan Hongyuan walk in and immediately gave him his seat.

"I want to find out Top True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect this year. I need to know everything about him."

As the Foundation Establishment Cultivator founded the Yuan Clan, Yuan Hongyuan was an absolute supreme ruler. At his command, Yuan Shaoyuan immediately set out and made a trip to Giant Wood Ridge to find out about the situation from several of his family members who had joined the Divine Wood Sect.

Two days later, after hearing about Chen Mobai's situation, Yuan Hongyuan's worry deepened.

If this person is killed, and the truth is revealed, even if he leaves the Four Kingdoms with the Yuan Clan, he will probably be hunted down by the Divine Wood Sect for thousands of miles, and they will not rest until they exterminate the entire clan.

"Ancestor, this person is recognized by the entire Divine Wood Sect as an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship, invincible among his peers. If he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage in the future and does not develop Golden Core, he will be an invincible existence in the world."

As Yuan Shaoyuan spoke, a hint of worry crept into his voice.

As the clan leader, he naturally understood that there was a hidden hand behind the Yuan Clan. It was precisely because of this that they were able to take root in the Jian Country and even acquire the Black Cloud Mountain, a Third Grade low-level Spirit Vein.

When Yuan Hongyuan was in seclusion, it was he, as the clan leader, who liaised with the Black Hand's people.

Now that the pillar of the family has suddenly come down the mountain and wants to inquire about Chen Mobai, as the head of the family, he has actually guessed the reason.

"Take Xiao Si and Xiao Liu and go to Giant Wood Ridge to keep an eye on things. Notify me immediately as soon as this person leaves Jian Country."

After much deliberation, Yuan Hongyuan had no choice but to obey orders.

After all, over the past century, he has actually done a lot of things that have harmed the Divine Wood Sect during the Jian Country, and he has become too deeply involved.

"Yes, Ancestor. Although this person is the Top True Disciple, there is only one of him. My fourth and sixth brothers and I, who are all at the Qi Cultivation Perfection stage, should be able to take him down with the Three Smoke Cloud Light Formation. You don't need to take action yourself."

Yuan Shaoyuan offered a suggestion: he felt that Yuan Hongyuan, as Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was too conspicuous, and if he made a move, the people investigating behind the scenes of the Divine Wood Sect might discover something amiss.

"Hmph, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. The reason I, Yuan, have been able to cultivate myself to this point is because of my caution."

"Every time I make a move, I make sure I am fully prepared to eliminate any potential threats and leave no room for future trouble. That is how I built the Yuan Clan's current foundation."

"And it's not that I look down on you, but since this person is considered an unparalleled sword genius by the entire Divine Wood Sect, even if the three of you attack together, even with the addition of Array Formation, one or two of you might still die."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shaoyuan's face turned pale with fright.

"Could this person be even more stunning than Hong He?!"

Hong He was the most renowned Top True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, holding that position for a full ten years, while Zhou Wangshen and E Yun could only alternate between second and third place. His terrifying combat talent was even known to the Great Sect outside the Eastern Wasteland.

"The last person to be hailed as an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship was the current Golden Core True Person of Golden Light Cliff."

As soon as Yuan Hongyuan finished speaking, Yuan Shaoyuan felt that it was best to follow the old man's advice and act cautiously.

However, he also felt sorry for Chen Mobai.

Such talent, yet before he could even become famous, was destined to die in a conspiracy.

It should be noted that Yuan Hongyuan was about to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. He once fought against three attackers in the early stage of Foundation Establishment at Black Cloud Mountain.

No matter how talented Chen Mobai was, he was only at the Qi Refining stage. Under Yuan Hongyuan's personal suppression, he certainly had no chance of escaping.

After bidding farewell to the family patriarch, Yuan Shaoyuan made an excuse to go out to discuss an important business deal and left Black Cloud Mountain with his two older brothers, hiding outside Giant Wood Ridge using a mask that altered their appearance.

It seems that even God is looking out for them.

After only half a month, Chen Mobai actually left the Divine Wood Sect.

As they passed through a forest, they activated a Cloud Mist Talisman. This Talisman was not offensive, but anyone who passed through it would be covered in a barely perceptible wisp of smoke.

This smoke is colorless and odorless, and can linger for a month without dissipating. Only the lenses specially crafted by the Yuan Clan can be used to observe it.

The three observed the movement of the smoke from ten miles away. After following it for half a day, they discovered that Chen Mobai had arrived at a market town.

This place is guarded by Qi Cultivation Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, as well as their family's shops.

However, they did not intend to reveal their whereabouts. After Chen Mobai rented a Cave Mansion and moved in, the three of them also rented an empty Cave Mansion nearby.

"Strange, this is clearly the property of their Divine Wood Sect. As long as he shows the Sect Token, he can stay for free. Why is he making a special effort to spend Spirit Stone?"

The three of them were very puzzled by Chen Mobai's behavior, but what happened next puzzled them even more.

They waited for two whole months, but Chen Mobai never left the house again.

"Oh no, could it be that we've been exposed and he ran away after discovering us?"

Yuan Shaoyuan, with his extensive experience in ambush and killing, immediately realized this.

However, the Cave Mansion within this market town belonged to the Divine Wood Sect, and they dared not break the Array Formation to venture inside and investigate.

"Wait a little longer. If it really doesn't work, we can only report it to our superiors and ask them to check his whereabouts."

Another month passed.

Just as Yuan Shaoyuan decided to give up and leave with his two older brothers.

With a creak, the door to Chen Mobai's Cave Mansion opened.

The assassination target they had been dreaming of had appeared before them.

"Damn brat, he actually prepared so many Bigu Pill."

Yuan Shaoyuan cursed under his breath, but at the crucial moment of success, his years of experience in assassination made him even calmer.

He instructed his fourth brother to set up a smoke trail at the market exit, while he and his sixth brother waited in the Cave Mansion to avoid being discovered by the Top True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.

"Oh no, the direction this kid is heading seems to be heading back to Giant Wood Ridge!"

After Chen Mobai left, they followed the smoke, but after a while, they realized something was wrong.

"If he returns to the Divine Wood Sect, there will be no way to stop him."

Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to go to Giant Wood Ridge to kill someone.

"I will inform the ancestor immediately."

Yuan Shaoyuan was also decisive. Knowing that he might not be able to wait for Chen Mobai to Jian Country, he did not want to miss this rare opportunity and immediately activated a precious Second Grade Heartlink Talisman.

There are two Talisman in total. Once one of them is activated, the other person will receive the message that the activator wants to convey.

Black Cloud Mountain.

After receiving the news, Yuan Hongyuan pondered for a quarter of an hour.

Then his expression turned cold, he made up his mind, and activated another Heart-to-Heart Talisman.

The three of you shouldn't follow me. I'll be waiting for you on the only road back to Giant Wood Ridge.

Upon receiving the message, Yuan Shaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled his two elder brothers aside, relayed the ancestor's response, and the three of them simultaneously departed for the Yun Country.

To the outside world, they claimed they were negotiating a spirit beast trade with the Luo family, Cultivating Family Luo Family the Yun Country. To avoid suspicion and investigation from the Divine Wood Sect after Chen Mobai was killed by their own ancestor, the three of them naturally had to play their part completely.

Chen Mobai was completely unaware that someone was following him.

After leaving the market, he headed straight for Giant Wood Ridge.

His mind was filled with thoughts of how to maintain his image as an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship after returning to his sect.

He said that although he had successfully Foundation Establishment, during the breakthrough and transformation, he suddenly had a stroke of inspiration and comprehended an incomparably domineering sword technique. He involuntarily unleashed the technique, but it injured his meridians, lungs, and Spiritual Sense. He would need to recuperate for two or three years.

After all, he had registered and practiced the Two Aspects Technique at the Divine Wood Sect.

In the future, besides the Longevity Sutra, we should also reveal the Crimson Flame Sword Art.

However, he is currently stuck using the Critical Point Method and will only be able to use the Pure Yang Scroll to disguise his Crimson Flame Sword Art skills after he has mastered the Three Yang Body.

When no one is around, the Formless Puppet can be used to unleash the Crimson Flame Sword Art at the Foundation Establishment Realm. If someone analyzes the battlefield afterwards, they will find traces of the Sword Qi Like a Rainbow.

However, no one is letting him test the power of the Formless Puppet after it has been fitted with High-grade Spirit Stone.

Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, they arrived at a Wild Mountain.

After passing through here, travel another hundred miles and you will see Giant Wood Ridge.

If it were the previous Chen Mobai, he would have had to cross mountains and valleys to get through this Wild Mountain.

But things are different now.

He Foundation Establishment.

It can fly!

Just as the effects of the two Divine Speed Talisman were exhausted, he stopped and activated his Flight Art.

His whole body seemed to rise up from the ground like a beam of green light.

It was as if a cyan flying sword had sliced through the sky, cutting a clear line through the clouds and revealing the blue sky.

Yuan Hongyuan, who was lying in ambush in the middle of this Wild Mountain, held the array flags that had been set up in advance. He stared at Chen Mobai flying in the sky with his mouth agape, his face full of disbelief.

He's Foundation Establishment!?

Realizing this, Yuan Hongyuan looked conflicted. The Array Formation he had set up was Second Grade formation, originally intended for opponents at the Foundation Establishment level, capable of capturing even cultivators flying in the air.

However, if used to deal with Qi Cultivation Cultivator, even if a hundred of them fell into the formation, Yuan Hongyuan could kill them all.

However, Chen Mobai has already achieved Foundation Establishment!

He vividly remembered the evaluation of this Top True Disciple by everyone in the Divine Wood Sect.

Unparalleled swordsmanship genius!

Unrivaled among those of the same level!

Although Yuan Hongyuan was very confident in himself, believing that his Spell Duel ability was above average among those of the same level, coupled with the Array Formation he had set up in advance, he dared to fight even those in the mid -Foundation Establishment stage.

However, Chen Mobai is Sword Cultivator! Moreover, he is an unparalleled genius among Sword Cultivator. Yuan Hongyuan really has little confidence in winning against such a prodigy.

"The information I heard before was that Chen Mobai was only Qi Refining in the Qi Refining stage during the Sect Grand Competition. He only obtained the Foundation Establishment refined by Zeng Woyou afterward. I didn't expect that he would succeed in Foundation Establishment in less than half a year."

After all the clues in his mind were put together, Yuan Hongyuan's evaluation of Chen Mobai was already above that of Hong He.

This person is the number one prodigy after the Divine Wood Sect split up!

After three years in the sect, Top True Disciple.

In a mere Second Tier Spiritual Vein like Jade Pot Market, he actually dared to take Foundation Establishment and even successfully Foundation Establishment.

This shows his extraordinary talent. It is even possible that he had already comprehended a higher level of swordsmanship at that time, which is why he went into seclusion in such an ordinary Spirit Land. Perhaps even without the Foundation Establishment, he would still be able to break through this barrier with his sword.

The thought of facing such an unparalleled genius and fighting to the death filled Yuan Hongyuan with no confidence whatsoever.

He would never take a risk unless he was certain of success.

So, I gritted my teeth.

He ultimately chose to conceal his presence, letting Chen Mobai fly over his head without activating the Array Formation.

[Since it was an intelligence failure anyway, I can come up with an excuse that should be enough to get by.]

Half a day after Chen Mobai disappeared, Yuan Hongyuan finally put away the Array Formation and quietly slipped back to Black Cloud Mountain.

Half a month later, Yuan Shaoyuan and his two companions returned, pretending that the business deal had failed. They asked their ancestor about the matter. The ancestor pretended to be wounded by a sword, coughed lightly twice, and then recounted the "battle of life and death" that day with a sigh.

"That Chen Guixian truly deserves to be called a peerless genius in swordsmanship. He has already Foundation Establishment. Unaware of this, I used the Five Smoke Cloud Net Formation to imprison him. However, his sword energy was too domineering. After a day and a night of direct combat, my protective Magic Artifact and Grand Array were successively shattered by his domineering sword energy. In the end, I had to abandon a life-saving Talisman to barely escape from his sword."

Upon hearing that the battle was so brutal, Yuan Shaoyuan and his two companions gasped in shock.

Fortunately, the three of them did not risk ambushing outside the market.

Otherwise, their bodies would probably be cold by now, and once they're dead, there's no point in pretending. The Divine Wood Sect has many ways to find out their origins from their corpses.

If that were really the case, Black Cloud Mountain would probably already be ravaged by bloodshed by this Top True Disciple the Divine Wood Sect.

Unexpectedly, this person actually Foundation Establishment in such a place. No wonder he hasn't appeared for two whole months! He truly deserves to be recognized as a peerless sword genius by the entire Divine Wood Sect. Even our ancestor, who was about to reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, was no match for him with the help of the Array Formation and the terrain, and could only flee in a sorry state.
