Nangong Wuhen's original plan was to first use the Heavenly Sword Sect Sect's unique signal talisman to summon his fellow disciples, and then join forces with the Cangyun Sect and the Puppet Sect to search for Chu Yunfei.
Not long ago, the Cangyun Sect's signal exploded in the sky above this area.
He had expected to encounter the disciples of the Cangyun Sect first, but upon arriving here, he was surprised to see Chu Yunfei instead.
After a brief moment of surprise, a hint of wariness quickly crept into Nangong Wuhen's eyes.
There were obvious traces of Sword Qi in the valley.
Broken Cangyun Sect standard longswords were scattered on the ground.
But there wasn't a single corpse here.
Where did the people from the Cangyun Sect go?
Did they realize they were no match for Chu Yunfei and flee beforehand?
The thought had barely formed when Nangong Wuhen forcibly suppressed it.
The Cangyun Sect sent a signal, indicating that there was at least one team nearby.
Even if Chu Yunfei's cultivation had improved slightly, it would be impossible for him to kill them all in such a short time.
Moreover, Chu Yunfei did not have any obvious combat injuries.
Nangong Wuhen stared at the face he loathed, a cold smile slowly creeping onto his lips.
"Good luck."
"I was wondering how long it would take to find you in the secret realm, but I never expected you to deliver yourself right to my doorstep."
His gaze swept over the mess in the valley, and his tone suddenly turned cold.
Where are the people from the Cangyun Sect?
Chu Yunfei looked at Nangong Wuhen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He never expected that the Cangyun Sect's signal talisman would attract this old enemy.
This was truly an unexpected delight.
Back in the Azure Mystic Sect, this Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked down on him as if he were an ant. He once forcibly broke into his residence with his Heavenly Origin Realm cultivation and severely injured him one after another.
At that time, he was only at the Qi Condensation Realm, and he could hardly withstand even the pressure that the other party casually released.
After leaving the Azure Mystic Sect, this person, in order to seize the Giant Que Sword, toyed with him like prey, repeatedly pushing him into desperate situations, ultimately forcing him to fall Broken Remnant Cliff.
If it weren't for the sealed sword intent within the Abyss-Devouring Sword protecting him, he would have died that night.
Later, he even issued a bounty in the name of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which attracted various forces in Qingyang City to surround and kill him.
Chu Yunfei never forgot these debts.
However, Nangong Wuhen remained at the Heavenly Sword Sect, and Chu Yunfei never had a suitable opportunity to make a move.
Now that they meet again, the other party has become prey delivered to their doorstep.
"You asked the people from the Cangyun Sect, are you planning to join forces with them to ambush and kill me?"
Chu Yunfei raised his hand and pointed to a broken, pale blue longsword on the ground, his tone tinged with amusement.
"Unfortunately, you're too late."
They are all dead.
Nangong Wuhen's cold smile faltered slightly.
Upon hearing this, Han Qingshan, who was standing next to him, was taken aback at first, and then sneered.
"They're all dead?"
The way he looked at Chu Yunfei was as if he were looking at a madman who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Although I don't know what happened here, I do know that a signal would be sent out, and the person who can carry this blood talisman must have the cultivation of the Divine Sea Realm and a team. Coupled with the unique sword formation of the Cangyun Sect, even an ordinary Divine Sea Realm Middle Stage might not be able to destroy them."
"You think you're worthy of such boasting?"
Qi Xiu also sneered, but was much more cautious than Han Qingshan.
He released his divine sense and quickly scanned the valley, soon discovering traces of blood that had not yet dried in the crevices of the stone walls.
Beside those bloodstains, the unique aura of the Cangyun Sect's cultivation techniques still lingered.
Qi Xiu's expression changed slightly, and he whispered a reminder: "Holy Son, there is indeed the aura left behind by the Cangyun Sect here. Since this person dares to say such a thing, we must be wary."
Nangong Wuhen's gaze sharpened, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart, but he did not back down.
He has now entered the Divine Sea Realm First Level.
Beside him were Qi Xiu, Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer, and Han Qingshan Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level.
Even if Chu Yunfei had some kind of trump card for fighting across borders, it would be impossible for him to fight against all three of them at the same time.
Even if something unexpected were to happen, his grandfather Nangong Hai, had left him several ways to protect himself.
No matter what, he would not let Chu Yunfei leave alive today.
Nangong Wuhen sneered, "Senior Brother Qi, don't be intimidated by his words. Whether the people of the Cangyun Sect have truly died at his hands is still unknown."
"This good-for-nothing always likes to bluff. He probably just happened to come here hoping to take advantage of the situation after the Cangyun Sect encountered a powerful demonic beast and was forced to leave."
Han Qingshan, standing to the side, also disagreed, nodding in agreement. "What the Holy Son says makes sense. If this person truly had the ability to single-handedly annihilate the Cangyun Sect's forces, why would he need to tell us?"
"In my opinion, he deliberately left these signs of a struggle to make us wary."
Chu Yunfei almost burst out laughing as he listened to their analysis.
Nangong Wuhen is still the same as ever.
Arrogant, conceited, and conceited.
Chu Yunfei turned to look at the three of them and said calmly, "Whether it's a bluff or not is unimportant. What's important is that you'll be going down to join them soon."
Nangong Wuhen's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Trash, do you really think that just because you defeated Qin Hao and Yue Chenzhou, you have the right to be so insolent in front of me, the Holy Son?"
He took a step forward, and the aura of the Divine Sea Realm First Level rose from his body, with golden Sword Qi spreading outwards along the ground beneath his feet.
"Those two are no match for me now. I have already reached the Divine Sea Realm First Level and mastered the Heavenly Sword Sect Sect's supreme sword technique. Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog."
Despite this, Nangong Wuhen did not draw his sword.
Meng Tianyun's words still echoed in my ears.
Chu Yunfei dared to directly provoke Wei Shanhe outside the secret realm, so he must have some trump cards up his sleeve.
Nangong Wuhen was arrogant, but he had not completely lost his mind.
He turned to look at Han Qingshan and ordered in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Han, since this person is so arrogant, test his strength first, don't rush to kill him."
"Disable all four limbs, leaving only a breath of life."
Upon hearing this, Han Qingshan felt slightly displeased.
As a core disciple of the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level and a direct disciple of the sect leader, he was actually asked to test the enemy for a holy son of the Divine Sea Realm First Level.
But behind Nangong Wuhen stood the Grand Elder Nangong Hai.
Before entering the secret realm, the sect leader personally instructed them to follow Nangong Wuhen's arrangements as much as possible.
Han Qingshan dared not openly disobey, so he could only suppress his displeasure.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty."
Han Qingshan drew two short swords from his waist and fixed his gaze on Chu Yunfei.
"He's just a clown relying on the Pill Pavilion's backing. I'll cripple his cultivation and send him before the Holy Son."
Chu Yunfei watched this scene, his smile deepening.
Nangong Wuhen wanted to test his trump card.
What a coincidence!
He didn't intend to kill these people outright.
Back in the Cangwu Mountain Range, Nangong Wuhen chased after him like a cat playing with a mouse, leaving him struggling in despair.
Today, fortunes have turned.
Killing Nangong Wuhen with a single sword strike would be too lenient on him.
Chu Yunfei subtly activated his divine sense, sealing off the vast aura within his body layer by layer.
His cultivation at the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer rapidly declined.
Fivefold... Fourfold...
It wasn't until he reached the Divine Sea Realm First Level that things completely stabilized.
This aura of cultivation was completely genuine, as if his true cultivation level was only at the Divine Sea Realm First Level.
He then slowly released his cultivation aura.
Han Qingshan was startled when he sensed this aura, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Divine Sea Realm First Level.
It is much better than the rumored version from the Jingyuan Hall period.
However, he had already reached the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level for many years, and the difference of three realms was enough to create absolute suppression.
Qi Xiu also narrowed his eyes.
"No wonder he dared to be so arrogant; it turns out he has already broken through to the Divine Sea Realm."
Nangong Wuhen naturally sensed this aura of cultivation, and the wariness that had just arisen in his heart instantly dissipated.
Chu Yunfei's cultivation speed is indeed astonishing.
Half a month ago, he was still in the Heavenly Origin Realm, but now he has already stepped into the Divine Sea Realm First Level.
The faster he moves, the more it suggests that Chu Yunfei is hiding a shocking secret.
If he can be captured and interrogated, all those opportunities will belong to him.
Han Qingshan crossed his two swords and said coldly, " Chu Yunfei, to be able to reach the Divine Sea Realm in just half a month is indeed a once-in-a-millennium prodigy. Unfortunately, you have offended someone you shouldn't have."
"Today, I will show you that the gap between cultivation levels cannot be bridged by a few martial arts techniques."
He suddenly exerted force with both legs.
The spiritual power of the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level exploded from beneath his feet, causing the ground to collapse several feet downwards.
Han Qingshan's figure transformed into a streak of azure light, and he simultaneously swung out two short swords.
" The Heavenly Net Twin Ultimate Swords!"
