"This Nine Cauldron Sword Master is even more ruthless than we imagined."
"Over the years, she has secretly made many modifications to the sect's Cultivation Method and martial arts, causing the Personal Disciple Elder practice these techniques to have defects in their heart meridians, and their lives are entirely in her hands."
"The entire clan has no choice but to obey her orders in order to save their own lives."
Che Wen Zhong paused, as if he had thought of something, and then said with a hint of helplessness, "However, there are exceptions."
"When Zhu Yue was young, she loved to travel around. In a city in China that had been conquered by foreign tribes, she found a gifted orphan named Tang Chen."
"Not only did he teach him all his skills, but he also nurtured him as his own heir over the years."
"Although now it seems that whether it was her sword-wielding demons in her youth or her cultivation of Tang Chen as the successor of the Nine Cauldron Sword Master, it was mostly a deliberate act on her part."
"The purpose is to make our Heavenly Supervision Department believe that she cares about Tai'an Grand Prefecture and the future of the Nine Tripod Sword Sect, thus relaxing our surveillance on her."
"But many things are useless even if you know the truth."
The old man slowly walked to Ye Li's side, and together they looked at the majestic building atop Yunsong Mountain. He sighed softly, "Tang Chen was treated so well that he became completely devoted to his master, Zhu Yue."
"Even now, having achieved the position of Venerable One and established a formidable reputation in the Tai'an Grand Prefecture, I am still willing to raise the butcher's knife for the sake of my colleagues."
"These past few days, he has been leading the sect's elders and stewards down the mountain one after another to charge into battle, killing many of our skilled fighters from the Heavenly Supervision Department."
At this point, the old man's tone suddenly became somewhat resentful.
In order to conserve his strength to deal with Zhu Yue, he could not rashly suppress Tang Chen, so once Tang Chen went down the mountain, he ran rampant like a wild horse.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After all, if Che Wen Zhong can quickly suppress Tang Chen once he makes a move, that would be fine. But if he can't finish the battle quickly, he might end up being held back by Tang Chen...
At that moment, the Nine Cauldron Sword Master on the mountain rushed down to try to break through. With Wei Shan not being able to be relied upon much, the situation instantly became precarious.
Due to a combination of factors.
This truly made Mr. Che Wen Zhong grit his teeth in hatred.
Tang Chen is loyal and righteous, at least in his view of Zhu Yue.
To the members of the Heavenly Supervision Department Bureau who were responsible for protecting the Tai'an Grand Prefecture, he was an absolute, cold-blooded executioner who deserved to die!
That is why Che Wen Zhong was determined not to let any martial artist from the Nine Tripod Sword Sect go.
This is exactly what Ye Li thought.
He listened to the old man beside him and nodded slightly without realizing it.
What kind of gibberish is that? I can't understand it.
A swordsman who kills one of his own is undoubtedly an enemy.
Are they keeping them alive for the New Year?
"Let's go, Elder Ye."
After venting his frustrations...
Che Wen Zhong smiled wryly and said, "My [Dragon Tiger Roaring Sea Pill] is still in my tent. I was just worried I wouldn't have a chance to give it to you."
I had some doubts before, but now it seems that the guest advisors of the Heavenly Supervision Department are indeed full of hidden talents.
The presence of a newly promoted, unfamiliar guest elder made him feel somewhat inferior.
Upon hearing this, Ye Li did not move, but continued to calmly gaze at the mountaintop.
A moment later, he suddenly warned, "Someone's coming up the mountain."
"Um?!"
Che Wen Zhong's smile froze instantly, and he quickly followed the other person's gaze.
You won't know until you see it.
Upon looking at him, a solemn expression appeared on his deeply lined old face.
The mountaintop, which had been empty, was now suddenly filled with the glow of Array Formation.
This is a sign that the Sect Protection Array is being unsealed.
Within sight, a young man dressed in black appeared from the mountaintop, leading dozens of figures with different auras, rushing down the mountain at high speed with fierce momentum!
It's Tang Chen!
He wore the signature wooden hairpin of a sect leader on his head, and his cold eyes were filled with pure Killing Intent, making him seem like a killing machine with flesh and blood.
After seeing the unfamiliar Daoist priest in flowing Baiyi at the foot of the mountain.
He drew his longsword from his waist, the pure Killing Intent in his eyes growing stronger, almost taking over his entire gaze.
Jade Token at his waist, held a high position, and had a face as White Jade as jade... especially that ever-present aura of Dharma Form.
It can't be wrong.
According to the master's decree, as long as this person can be killed, the Sword Sect disciples who sacrificed their lives can finally rest in peace!
"Elder Ye, let's retreat first!"
Che Wen Zhong clenched his fists and shouted to the young man beside him, "Once you're back to your peak condition, we'll settle the score with this scourge of the Sword Sect!"
He assumed that Ye Li had just finished dealing with a Half-step True Person and was no longer as strong as before.
That damned Nine Tripod Sword Sect must have sensed something amiss down the mountain, which is why they ordered Tang Chen to go down and charge into the formation!
I just don't know how many people will be lost this time...
The old man's heart was bleeding. The members of the Heavenly Supervision Department here would be elites capable of standing alone anywhere in the Eastern Continent, but now they were being used to make up for the mistakes of that damned Wei Shan!
"Attention, members of the Tai'a Heavenly Supervision Department..."
Che Wen Zhong turned his head and shouted towards the tent behind him, but he was interrupted halfway through his sentence by the powerful aura beside him, which was like a volcanic eruption!
The entire earth trembled slightly!
The old man turned his head back in astonishment.
The White-robed Guest Elder, whom he considered "no longer at his peak," raised his head and calmly gazed at the black-robed youth high in the sky. His blood energy surged like a true dragon, soaring into the heavens and boiling like a great cauldron across the land, its vigor terrifying!
That dazzling, elegant white robe billowed and fluttered in the gale, like a wisp of pure white cloud surging and churning!
"I am Tang Chen of the Nine Tripod Sword Sect! I have come to kill you on my master's orders!"
A heavy pressure suddenly struck.
Tang Chen's expression quickly turned solemn, his heart trembling, yet he still gripped his longsword tightly, pointing it directly at Ye Li below, his voice filled with Killing Intent echoing through the mountains and forests!
However, the moment he finished speaking...
Ye Li's figure vanished from the spot.
The Golden Firmament Rainbow Transformation, hailed as a golden divine Divine Ability, ultimately displayed an unprecedented extreme speed thanks to its true energy output far exceeding that of martial artists of the same level.
Alas!!--
Tang Chen felt a momentary blur before his eyes, and then a golden rainbow streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed that defied his understanding, bringing with it a chilling turbulence of air as it approached him!
The young Daoist's black hair danced wildly, appearing exceptionally unrestrained, and suddenly, dazzling lightning burst forth from his five fingers.
This was his first major battle since arriving in the Eastern Continent.
The Transformation Realm Great Dao Thunder Seal suddenly erupted, illuminating the horrified and stunned faces.
Che Wen Zhong subconsciously held his breath. "..."
In that instant, Tang Chen only had time to hold his longsword horizontally in front of him.
He wasn't immune to attacks from those at the Half-step True Person level; he had personally experienced the intensity of even Zhu Yue's sword techniques.
However, the dazzling lightning seal before him was still the most intense impact he had ever experienced in his life.
In his violently trembling pupils.
A blinding white light replaced the Killing Intent and filled his eyes completely.
Boom!!!
The mighty thunder seal suddenly exploded, and a raging gale swept across the heavens and earth!
The longsword in Tang Chen's hand suddenly shattered into countless fragments, his bones and muscles were violently broken, blood gushed from his mouth, and his slender figure was also struck as if by lightning, thrown away by the enormous force and heavily embedded in the mountain below!
As his consciousness drifted away, he heard a slightly mocking, icy voice from above, which sent shivers down his spine:
"You bastard, I'll make you watch me kill your master later."
