No one believed what the Youying said.
No... it's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I disdain it.
The members of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect felt only sarcasm, not fear, after hearing what Youying said.
Seeing this, Youying's expression grew even colder.
He lowered his gaze and coldly rebuked.
"You think I'm joking? Ha! You don't even know the strength of my Sword Pavilion Master... I almost forgot, didn't you want to know the whereabouts of the four protectors of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect?"
The Grand Elder of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to stop the others from laughing rudely, and stared at Youying with his cold eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Despite being tormented by severe injuries and threatened by a powerful enemy, Youying suddenly laughed.
He spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no harm in telling you the truth."
"Your four guardians of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect were chasing me that day when they ran into my Sword Pavilion Master. They were disrespectful to him, so he killed them with just two Sword Pavilion strikes. Slaughter them..."
"Like slaughtering pigs and dogs!"
Youying, supporting himself, gritted his teeth and flung out his token.
A jade plaque engraved with the character "sword" was displayed before people.
"Now, I am the Ninth Sword Master of the Sword Pavilion. If you dare to kill me, I, the Sword Pavilion Master, will avenge you and wipe out your Thousand Flames Demon Sect with One Sword strike!"
However, after a brief silence following his words, the people of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect suddenly burst into laughter.
Even the Grand Elder let out a gloomy, mocking laugh, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
"You killed my four guardians with just two sword strikes? How laughable!"
"Exactly, Youying, have you lost your mind? You actually made up such a character. I know you want to give yourself a powerful backer so we'll be wary, but even if you're going to make up a lie, you should at least make it believable."
"With so many powerful forces to choose from, you had to come up with this Sword Pavilion. Ha, I've never even heard of it. It's hilarious."
"What's with the talk of two sword strikes? Do you even know the cultivation levels of the four guardians of my Thousand Flames Demon Sect? Forget two sword strikes, even if I gave you twenty, which one could you kill?"
The members of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect all mocked and ridiculed him. The Grand Elder, who had only said one sentence, waved his hand impatiently, his eyes filled with utter impatience as he looked at Youying.
"Our sect's four guardians are all exceptionally powerful, reaching the King Realm High Stage. Yet you claim that so-called Pavilion Master could kill all four of them with just two sword strikes...?"
"You might as well just say that the 'pavilion master' you're talking about is actually Venerable from the Profound Domain. That would be more believable."
At this point, the Grand Elder completely lost patience with the Youying.
He raised his hand, his five claws outstretched, and his old, withered fingers suddenly grabbed at the air. The jade tablet that Youying was holding tightly in his hand was instantly snatched into the Grand Elder's grasp.
As he examined the jade pendant in his hand, the Grand Elder's thin, withered lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Tsk, the word 'sword' does have a certain imposing presence, it's just a pity it came from the hands of a show-off junior."
"Even if that Sword Pavilion thing is real, let alone something you made up, it's nothing more than a clown just like you."
"I could kill him with a flick of my wrist!"
The Grand Elder revealed his murderous intent, no longer concealing his chilling killing intent. He suddenly exerted force, crushing the jade tablet in his hand to pieces, and then his large hand descended towards Youying.
"The time has come! Enough with the nonsense, die!"
He roared, a sinister smile spreading across his face, and the aura of a royal-level expert was fully unleashed!
The shadow continued to spread, and it seemed that the Youying's head was about to fall into the hands of the Grand Elder.
Seeing this, even though Youying had already realized what was happening, her heart still trembled, and a sense of despair rose in her heart.
in the end...
Was he still destined to die?
A giant hand enveloped the scarred youth's head. At this moment, Youying could not even maintain his mask. His Spiritual Power had long been exhausted. He could only sit on the ground in vain, his eyes filled with despair, waiting for his death.
But at that moment, a blinding white light suddenly arrived, directly hitting the elder's hand, and the powerful force violently knocked him away!
Caught off guard, the Grand Elder stumbled back a few steps, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.
"Who dares to ruin the plans of my Thousand Flames Demon Sect!?"
He shouted alertly and looked up.
A piece of clothing fluttered lightly past his eyes.
The elder looked in that direction and his eyes widened instantly.
Before the critically wounded and dying Youying, a beautiful figure appeared out of nowhere. Her eyes were lowered, and her gaze upon Youying was like that of a goddess.
An inexplicable pressure quietly spread, like a mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.
The elder felt a dryness in his throat, his heart pounding, and a sense of fear involuntarily arose within him.
The woman in front of him gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth.
Judging from our exchange just now, this person's strength is probably far superior to mine.
Emperor Realm?
No, not only that!
Venerable?
He felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that in the Profound Domain, where even the Great Emperor did not appear, the Venerable Realm was the pinnacle of the entire Profound Domain.
Let alone killing him, wiping out the entire Thousand Flames Demon Sect would be more than enough.
Suppressing his fear, the Grand Elder's face was extremely grim. He looked at Heavenly Venerable Yunli cautiously and tentatively asked.
"Fellow Daoist... this is an internal matter of my Thousand Flames Demon Sect, why are you interfering?"
Heavenly Venerable Yunli shifted his gaze from Youying to the Grand Elder, who was not far from him.
She happened to be nearby, about to search for resources, when she suddenly sensed a sect jade tablet disappearing near her. Without saying a word, Heavenly Venerable Yunli headed directly towards the direction where the sect jade tablet had last appeared.
Each jade token is bound to a member of the Sword Pavilion. As soon as Heavenly Venerable Yunli arrived here, he immediately distinguished friend from foe.
She had overheard the entire conversation between the two parties.
After joining the Sword Pavilion, she considered herself a part of the Sword Pavilion.
What's the difference between ignoring the Sword Pavilion and ignoring Yunli?
To insult the Sword Pavilion is to insult her!
Heavenly Venerable Yunli looked at the Grand Elder and suddenly gave a cold smile.
"I can attest that everything he said is true."
"I am the First Sword Master of the Sword Pavilion. You have insulted my sect, crushed my Sword Pavilion Sword Pavilion's jade token, and even tried to kill my people, yet you ask me why I intervened?"
Having said that, Heavenly Venerable Yunli stopped wasting words and directly raised her hand, the snow-white longbow falling into her grasp.
With a grim expression, Heavenly Venerable Yunli used her Spiritual Power an arrow and shot it towards the direction of the Grand Elder of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect!
The Grand Elder didn't even have time to explain anything; only one thought flashed through his mind.
There really is such a thing as a Sword Pavilion?
The thought flashed through his mind, and he tried to draw his sword, but when he looked up, he saw that the dazzling arrow was already right in front of him.
A rain of golden Spiritual Power arrows, shimmering with iridescent light, descended from the sky, engulfing all the members of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect.
Everyone in the Thousand Flames Demon Sect, including the Grand Elder, stared wide-eyed in horror. The word "misunderstanding" was stuck in their throats, but they didn't even have a chance to utter it before the rain of arrows completely engulfed them!
After the golden light dissipated, only smoke remained on the spot, and not a single person survived.
The Grand Elder of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect... fell instantly from a single arrow!
The Youying behind Heavenly Venerable Yunli witnessed this scene and was dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes.
A powerful expert at the Emperor Realm... just like that, he perished?
This is so ridiculous!
He simply couldn't believe it; everything felt like a dream.
The Grand Elder of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect is dead. He not only had the good fortune to escape the pursuit of the Four Protectors, but also escaped the clutches of the Grand Elder.
Staring at the back of Heavenly Venerable Yunli standing in front of him, Youying's heart pounded.
The First Sword Master!
This is... the First Sword Master of his Sword Pavilion!?
What level of cultivation is this? It's probably even higher than the Emperor Realm!
Although I am ranked ninth, eight more of me wouldn't be able to match me.
Youying swallowed hard.
He had assumed that the Sword Pavilion only had one powerful figure, the Pavilion Master, since the Pavilion Master had said that the Sword Pavilion had only been established for a short time. He never expected that the First Sword Master's strength would be so terrifying!
A royal-level expert can kill without hesitation, and with just one arrow!
Such a being, relegated to a subordinate position to the Pavilion Master, suggests that the Pavilion Master's true strength is perhaps even more terrifying than anything I've ever seen or imagined?
What kind of sect did he join?!
