136. Bloodshed in Blue Origin Valley (Third Update)
Years later, a junior member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group asked Song Shuhang what it felt like to experience flying on a sword (or knife) for the first time.
Song Shuhang's answer was only two words: "My legs went weak!"
With a 'whoosh', Su Clan’s Seven's Escape Light carried him and Sixteen into the air, the speed of which was indescribable.
In the blink of an eye, they were already high in the sky.
While Sword Flight, Song Shuhang felt that his surroundings were empty, with only a faint glowing Escape Light beneath his feet, and he felt no sense of security.
Actually, there was an invisible layer of energy around them that blocked the strong winds when flying with the sword (blade) – this was arranged by Senior A-Qi to take care of Song Shuhang and Sixteen.
Otherwise, a powerful cultivator wouldn't care about such a small breeze when Sword Flight. This can be seen from the exaggerated afro that appeared on Senior Medicine Master's head after Sword Flight.
However, this invisible energy, which cannot be seen or touched, cannot give Song Shuhang a sense of security—if he could conjure up four railings, Song Shuhang would definitely feel much more at ease.
Then... looking down, there were houses, mountains, roads, and rivers shrunk smaller than matchboxes.
High, very high, extremely high!
Song Shuhang felt a wave of dizziness, and his legs involuntarily went weak. He instinctively reached forward and grabbed onto Su Clan’s Sixteen... He suspected he would kneel if he didn't grab onto something.
"First time experiencing Sword Flight?" Su Clan’s Sixteen's dark eyes stared straight at Song Shuhang.
"Hahaha." Song Shuhang felt like he couldn't even speak properly.
Everyone has some Height Phobia. Some people are unaware of it because they haven't climbed high enough yet; or their Height Phobia is so mild that they can easily overcome it with their willpower.
"Then overcome it slowly. If you don't overcome it, you won't be able to Sword Flight in the future," Su Clan’s Sixteen comforted and encouraged her.
A good man's dream of flying high is always accompanied by tears and hardships.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the speed of Sword Flight was incredibly fast.
Based on the location described by Zhao Bulu, the Moon Saber Sect disciple whose leg was blown off, Su Clan’s Seven quickly found the Moon Saber Sect's headquarters.
The massive Moon Saber Sect is hidden in the mountains and forests, and its presence is concealed by array formations, preventing it from being discovered by outsiders.
Of course, this level of formation couldn't block Su Clan’s Seven's eyes. He rode his Escape Light and landed in front of the Moon Saber Sect's sect, his gaze directly piercing through the Guardian Sect Formation.
Sixteen jumped lightly and landed on the ground.
Song Shuhang jumped lightly and knelt on the ground. His legs were just too weak...
Su Clan’s Seven approached the edge of the Moon Saber Sect's protective formation and softly shouted, "Open!"
He didn't even draw his sword; with his shout, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed into a giant sword that seemed to split the heavens and earth, slashing fiercely at the Guardian Sect Formation.
Bobo~~
The Moon Saber Sect's Guardian Sect Formation as fragile as glass, easily shattering into pieces.
"Huh?" Song Shuhang and Sixteen looked up and saw that the Moon Saber Sect was empty, without a single person in sight.
Because no one was controlling it, the great formation protecting the sect was so fragile.
"There's not even a trace of him. Zhao Bulu lie to us?" Sixteen frowned slightly. "Let's kill him later!"
Song Shuhang asked, "Who is Zhao Bulu?"
"It's that guy who robbed Jiang Express. After you were arrested, A-Qi and I went to the headquarters of Jiangnan Harvest Express and found this guy Zhao Bulu. We got the location of the Moon Saber Sect from him," Sixteen replied.
Song Shuhang nodded.
At this moment, A-Qi spoke up, "It's not fake news, the people from the Moon Saber Sect have all moved away. And... they haven't been gone for very long."
As he spoke, he stepped into the Moon Saber Sect and slowly ascended a straight staircase.
Only then did Song Shuhang and Sixteen see a figure in white standing on the straight steps.
With a long sword at his waist, he was as graceful as jade, with an ethereal air, as if he were a celestial being who had stepped out of an ancient painting.
"It really is you... Gongzi Hai." Su Clan’s Seven put her hands behind her back and gazed at the white-clad figure on the steps.
Gongzi Hai was someone Su Clan’s Seven met many years ago during an adventure in an ancient immortal ruin. Although he was only at the Fourth-Grade Realm at the time, his swordsmanship was superb and exquisite. He once sparred with the battle maniac A-Qi, and although he lost, he won A-Qi's admiration.
A few days ago, when Gongzi Hai heard that Su Clan’s Seven was looking for medicine to treat the injuries from the Heavenly Tribulation, he recommended the Seven Radiant Wonderfruit of the Immortal Farmer Sect to him and accompanied him to the Immortal Farmer Sect.
If the mastermind behind this is Gongzi Hai, then everything makes sense. He had lived with Gongzi Hai for nearly a year during their adventures, and Gongzi Hai had even witnessed him use the "Heavenly Saber Buries the Star Sea" technique once during an adventure.
With this foundation, Gongzi Hai, disguised as Su Clan’s Seven, was enough to deceive the disciples of the Immortal Farmer Sect.
As for the move 'Heavenly Saber Buries the Star Sea,' Gongzi Hai naturally couldn't learn it, but it would be easy for him to fake the appearance of 'Heavenly Saber Buries the Star Sea' and fool the people of the Immortal Farmer Sect.
"You've arrived, A-Qi." The man in white turned around; he was handsome and had a warm smile.
Su Clan’s Seven approached Gongzi Hai step by step. "When did you start plotting against me?"
"No, actually, from the beginning, I never intended to scheme against you. It's just that your situation happened to fit the role I planned," Gongzi Hai said with a smile.
Even without Su Clan’s Seven, he could still search for Wang Clan’s Eighth or Zhao Clan’s Ninth, no problem at all. As long as he meets the requirements of being powerful and having a close relative injured by the Heavenly Tribulation, that's enough.
"Hahaha, that really suits your personality and swordsmanship." Su Clan’s Seven laughed loudly, then said in a deep voice, "So, have you thought about the consequences of your scheme against me?"
"Of course I've thought about it. Everything is under my control." Gongzi Hai gave Su Clan’s Seven a thumbs up. "Don't worry about me, A-Qi. Do whatever you want! Cultivators cultivate Great Freedom and Carefree. Living freely, doing what you want, drinking what you want, and having sex with the women you want—isn't that what you taught me, A-Qi?"
"Hahaha, you're absolutely right!" A-Qi suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Gongzi Hai in front of him.
The blade's edge was dazzling, as brilliant as the rising sun, so bright it was blinding!
The knife passed...
Gongzi Hai was split in two and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"He's dead just like that?" Song Shuhang thought, "This Gongzi Hai made such a dashing entrance, I didn't expect him to die so easily?"
"It's not dead. Let's go, capture this guy's true form, and use it to consecrate my blade!" Su Clan’s Seven didn't look back and stepped out of the Moon Saber Sect.
Behind him... the Gongzi Hai, who had been cut in half, suddenly floated up in the wind and transformed into a paper figure cut in half.
It's not a clone, but merely a spell similar to a '3D virtual character projection'. This paper figure is just a medium for casting the spell. From the beginning, Gongzi Hai's true form was not here.
Sixteen asked angrily, "What exactly does this Gongzi Hai want to do?"
"Sowing discord, creating a feud between me and the Immortal Farmer Sect, and then using me to destroy the Immortal Farmer Sect. That's definitely one of his goals. But knowing this guy as I do, this is definitely a scheme he's making public, a cover for others. Whether I can actually destroy the Immortal Farmer Sect or not is irrelevant to him. What he really wants... I can't guess." Su Clan’s Seven felt a toothache.
He enjoys swift retribution and ruthless severance of all grudges. He despises those who play mind games and schemes; their hearts are too dirty!
Therefore, he doesn't bother thinking about any conspiracies or schemes he can't understand.
The best answer is to capture Gongzi Hai and send him to his death with a single blow.
If you're angry, cut it into ten or eight pieces, and your anger will subside.
"Where are we going now?" Song Shuhang asked.
"Go find that guy," Su Clan’s Seven said through gritted teeth.
Gongzi Hai left behind a projection spell, so he can find Gongzi Hai by following the traces of this projection spell!
However, just thinking that this might be a clue left by Gongzi Hai himself made A-Qi's teeth itch.
************************
Outside Blue Origin Valley.
The sounds of fighting were deafening, and the explosions of various internal energies were incessant.
This place has become a bloodbath.
The Immortal Farmer Sect mobilized almost all its elite forces, launching a frenzied attack on the Moon Saber Sect of Blue Origin Valley. These Immortal Farmer Sect cultivators, who were not usually skilled in combat, unleashed terrifying fighting power.
The Moon Saber Sect suffered many casualties, but the Immortal Farmer Sect suffered even greater losses!
Something was wrong; the sect leader of the Immortal Farmer Sect sensed something was amiss. They were determined to fight to the death and were determined to teach Su Clan’s Seven a lesson no matter what.
But now, without even seeing Su Clan’s Seven's shadow, they were entangled by the Moon Saber Sect of Blue Origin Valley. Then, they inexplicably started fighting to the death. Not long after the battle, all the members of the Immortal Farmer Sect went crazy, not knowing how to retreat, only knowing how to fight bloodthirstyly.
The sect leader of the Immortal Farmer Sect vaguely sensed that it was a hidden formation in the Blue Origin Valley that was driving cultivators mad, bloodthirsty, and unable to control their emotions.
The more people die and the more blood is shed, the stronger the hidden formation becomes!
But by the time the sect leader realized something was wrong, it was too late. He couldn't even control his body anymore; his eyes turned bloodshot, and his reason was slowly fading away.
One by one, the elites of the Immortal Farmer Sect fell, their fates unknown. Soon, only the Immortal Farmer Sect leader and five or six disciples with high spiritual power and low susceptibility to the formation remained.
"It's over, it's all over." The sect leader of the Immortal Farmer Sect sighed. The Immortal Farmer Sect's centuries-old heritage would be destroyed by his hand.
The whole thing is so inexplicable.
"Master!! Quick, quickly rescue the sect leader!" At this moment, he heard a familiar voice in the distance.
Opening his eyes, he found his eldest disciple, Zheng Neng, leading a group of disciples from the Immortal Farmer Sect charging towards him.
That's Zheng Neng.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of the Immortal Farmer Sect Master...
Sizzle!
Just then, Ba Qianjun of the Moon Saber Sect suddenly appeared beside the Immortal Farmer Sect, piercing through his defenses with a single strike.
"Haha." Ba Qianjun grinned maliciously, his breath carrying a burnt smell.
"You scoundrel, don't harm my master!" Zheng Neng shrieked, raising his hand and sending the wooden sword flying through the air as he slashed towards Ba Qianjun...
