I Am Gu Qingyang, the Sword King
The Five Symbols Sect, the very core of it.
The ground was densely covered with countless powerful formations.
From the outside, this place doesn't seem particularly unique.
However, only the successive sect leaders know just how important this place is.
Taking a deep breath, Cang Wenyu took out the sect leader's token.
As a magic incantation was cast, the token emitted a beam of light.
Then, an entrance appeared on the ground.
It is a passage that slopes downwards into the ground.
Cang Wenyu hurried in.
As the depth increased, the surrounding spiritual energy became incredibly dense.
This place is close to the spiritual veins beneath the Five Symbols Sect.
After passing through countless formations.
Cang Wenyu finally arrived before a giant gate.
He placed the token on it, and with a dull thud, the scene behind the giant gate appeared before Cang Wenyu's eyes.
This is an extremely large underground palace.
The palace floor and walls were covered with countless arrays.
Surrounding the palace were numerous secret chambers.
The door to the secret room was engraved with each person's identity information.
In addition, a lamp was placed in front of each door to the secret room.
At this point, nearly half of the lights had gone out.
Cang Wenyu, with a solemn expression, arrived at the center of the hall and spoke in a deep voice:
"Cang Wenyu, the 66th generation leader of the Five Symbols Sect, pays his respects to all the venerable patriarchs of the sect."
After a moment of silence, a voice suddenly rang out in the hall:
"Is the sect facing a crisis?"
Cang Wenyu nodded:
"Our sect was attacked by powerful Devil Race today. Both demons are at the Dao Comprehension Realm and are incredibly strong. The patriarchs of each peak have managed to keep them outside the formation, but I'm afraid they can't hold out for long."
"This junior has come to humbly request that the Ancestor intervene and resolve this crisis for the sect."
After saying that, Cang Wenyu waited Jingjing.
The voice rang out again:
"Everyone, does anyone have any ideas?"
As soon as one sound faded, another sound rang out:
"I'll go. I've already given up hope of breaking through, so while I still have the strength, I'll help these younger generations out of their predicament."
"You? Forget about it. Your lifespan isn't short. Keep working hard, and perhaps with the right circumstances, you'll have a chance to break through."
"Breakthroughs are incredibly difficult, but I'm well aware of my own capabilities."
"Alright, you two stop arguing. Save your energy to protect the sect for a few more years. This matter will be left to..."
Before the words were finished, an old voice suddenly came from the corner.
"I will handle this matter."
"Among you all, there should be no one whose lifespan is shorter than mine, right?"
After the voice faded, silence fell over the hall.
At the same time, the door to the secret room slowly opened.
His identity was clearly written on the door of the secret room:
"Sword King, Gu Qingyang, has entered the Dao Comprehension Realm Eighth Stage..."
Cang Wenyu quickly looked over.
A figure slowly walked out.
He was emaciated, with a head of white hair scattered like a lamp that had run out of oil, and his end was imminent.
However, his eyes were sharp as swords, without the slightest hint of turbidity.
Behind him, he carried a three-foot-long sword.
"I doubt I'll be making it back after this trip."
"I urge you all to strive for breakthroughs; I shall take my leave now."
Gu Qingyang spoke calmly, then turned to Cang Wenyu and said:
"Walk."
"Wait." A voice rang out:
"That demon has two paths; you alone might not be enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingyang said:
"My sword is still sharp; it's not too late to send someone out after my soul lamp has extinguished."
After saying that, Gu Qingyang grabbed Cang Wenyu and left the underground area.
"Are you still putting up a last-ditch resistance?"
Ming Xiong grinned maliciously, his voice filled with smug satisfaction.
"It is an honor for you that I have to expend my life force to attack you."
As he spoke, Ming Xiong swung his giant axe again.
It was the same move, but in this state, the power carried by this giant axe was terrifying.
A single axe strike descended, blotting out the sky and the sun, vast and unstoppable.
The two patriarchs of Flame Sun Peak took a deep breath, their auras rising again, and activated their weapons to meet the attack.
"Boom!"
The two were once again thrown back.
This time, blood slowly trickled from the corners of their mouths.
At this moment, Ming Xiong's strength was far beyond the early stage of the Dao Comprehension Realm.
They were ultimately only at the Void Transformation Realm, making it difficult for them to cope.
"Boom!!!"
The giant axe cleaved down onto the formation.
The formation immediately began to fluctuate violently.
"How can these Devil Creature be so strong!"
Within the sect, the disciples all looked tense.
Even with the emergence of the patriarch, is it still impossible to correspond with him?
Is the Five Symbols Sect destined for a calamity today?
Everyone felt a surge of emotion.
On Hidden Origin Peak, Lu Changzhi's gaze also narrowed slightly.
These Blood Devil are indeed more troublesome than I imagined.
Despite the fact that Qin Li and her group's attack on the Devil Sect was relatively successful.
But as long as these two Devil Race remain alive, the problem isn't truly solved.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi's gaze suddenly shifted slightly, turning towards a certain spot.
There, Cang Wenyu emerged, accompanied by an elderly figure.
Lu Changzhi glanced at the system and murmured softly:
"So there really is an ancestor at the Dao Comprehension Realm?"
At the same time, outside the formation, Ming Xiong stopped moving.
His gaze pierced through the formation and landed on Gu Qingyang.
"Your Five Symbols Sect actually has a Dao Comprehension Realm hidden within."
There was a clear hint of surprise in his voice.
Given that the Five Symbols Sect has someone of such high level in charge, why is it only ranked sixth in the Eastern Region?
However, he did not dwell on this issue.
"Unfortunately, this should be your Five Symbols Sect's last trump card."
"A half-dead old man thinks he can stop the two of us?"
Ming Xiong's words instantly attracted the attention of countless disciples and elders.
For a moment, shock filled everyone's faces.
Some disciples who had only recently begun their training were utterly astonished.
"What?! My Five Symbols Sect actually has an ancestor at the Dao Comprehension Realm?!"
This is the Dao Comprehension Realm!
There aren't many strong individuals in the entire Eastern Continent.
"I never imagined that I would actually see the Devil Race described in ancient texts with my own eyes."
Gu Qingyang also looked at Ming Xiong, his gaze sharp:
"I never imagined I'd have the chance to slay the Devil Race with my sword today."
As soon as the voice fell, Gu Qingyang suddenly appeared outside the formation.
"Ridiculous." Ming Xiong sneered.
"You dare to talk about killing me? What a pipe dream!"
Whether it works or not, we'll find out soon enough.
As the voice faded, Gu Qingyang drew his longsword.
Buzz!
The moment the longsword was in hand, an astonishing sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
An astonishing Sword Intent surged from his body, soaring straight into the heavens.
The crimson sky was instantly torn apart by this extremely sharp Sword Intent.
At the same time, within a radius of a hundred miles, all those wielding swords felt their swords tremble.
In mid-air, Gu Qingyang stood holding his sword.
The aura emanating from him actually overwhelmed the overwhelming bloodlust of Ming Xiong.
"I am Gu Qingyang, the Sword King."
As the voice faded, the longsword was pointed at Ming Xiong.
At this moment, everyone felt that as Gu Qingyang pointed his longsword, it was as if thousands of invisible Sword Qi imprisoned Ming Xiong, sealed off the heavens, and created their own world.
"This is Sword Domain?!"
For the first time, Ming Xiong's voice showed a change in tone.
