Soon, the protective array inside the cave opened, and a cultivator with loose hair and a sword on his back strode in.
He wore cloud-patterned boots and a pine-patterned robe of stone blue. His features were open and bright, his frame tall and vigorous, and his entire being radiated a chilling sword intent.
After entering, he came before the jade platform and bowed. "Senior Brother, forgive me for disturbing your cultivation."
The cultivator in the crow-blue Magic Robe remained calm and asked directly, "What is it?"
The loose-haired cultivator's expression turned slightly grave. "I just received word from a subordinate. Chongming Sect Holy Son Pei Ling's flying vessel has entered the territory of our Cold Abyss Sword Sect."
Pei Ling...
The cultivator in the crow-blue Magic Robe nodded, then said, "In other words, I'm the next one he plans to challenge?"
This cultivator was none other than the current Sect Master of the Cold Abyss Sword Sect, Sword God He Fuqiong!
The loose-haired cultivator said gravely, "That's right!"
"Pei Ling has followed this pattern in his first three battles, so the formal challenge should arrive very soon."
He Fuqiong said calmly, "I understand. Anything else?"
The loose-haired cultivator was taken aback, then quickly said, "Senior Brother, in Pei Ling's first battle, he used his Void Refinement cultivation to defeat Zhong Kui Youzhi, the current emperor of the Zhong Kui Clan. In his second battle, Yanxi City Lord Tie Cheng activated the Seven Kill Calamity Banner, yet still lost by a narrow margin. In his third battle, Sect Master Cen of Suzhen Heaven used the Immovable Heaven Seal, but ultimately fell short..."
"Although Pei Ling is a junior of the demonic sects, his strength is already formidable."
"Our righteous path has lost three battles in a row, and morale has plummeted.
