Unexpected Obstruction

Ye Tian and Zhu Qian led the way in silence, while the Hongyi Woman and the Three-Ringed Golden Saber Sect cultivators followed behind them.

After winding through countless turns, Ye Tian deliberately avoided the Heavenly Sword Sect's defenses and led them toward the Sword Collection Pavilion, where the Heavenly Sword Sect's newly acquired Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm was located. The entrance suppressing artifact of this Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm was in the hands of Senior Li Jianchi, who guarded the Sword Collection Pavilion. In other words, as long as they approached the Sword Collection Pavilion, they would naturally be near the entrance suppressing artifact.

After passing through the final gate, Ye Tian and the others entered the Sword Collection Pavilion's grounds. Once there, Ye Tian stopped moving forward.

"We can't go any farther. If we do, the Heavenly Sword Sect guards stationed here will discover us." Ye Tian turned back and spoke to the Hongyi Woman.

"The sword intent here is so dense." The Hongyi Woman glanced around, evidently seeing far more than that. Then she asked Ye Tian, "Fellow Daoist Wentian, could this be the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Collection Pavilion? And is the renowned Li Jianchi guarding this place?"

Ye Tian was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the Hongyi Woman to know even this.

"That is correct. The entrance suppressing artifact for the Heavenly Sword Sect's newly acquired Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm is currently being kept by Senior Li Jianchi." Ye Tian nodded and answered truthfully.

"What is this entrance suppressing artifact?" the Hongyi Woman asked again.

"It seems to be a sword, or perhaps a book. I'm not sure of the specifics." Ye Tian keenly sensed that something was wrong. He immediately swallowed the words that had reached his lips and used deliberately vague wording instead.
