Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In that empty space within the dense forest, it was drizzling. The blood stains on the ground were all washed clean.

“Deceitful Sword’ Ren Qianchou, “Mist Sword” Xie Jun, “Rage Sword” Yun Tao and also Hundred Thousand Blood Killer. Three Xiantian sword masters who had hopes of reaching the Martial Ancestor level, along with this future Ascended Ancestor Li Yaling. This time the losses of Yunxia Mountain weren’t small...”

Within the dense forest, a black shirt man raised his head high as he walked forth. He was wearing a black cloak, but one could roughly see his face. His features were exquisite and beautiful, tough to differentiate between girl and guy. He seemed extremely young as he tilted his head upwards to look at that tree branch. action

“How unfortunate! The heavens aren’t cooperative, this rain washed away all the blood. Apart from you and I, there are about five other people that passed here. We probably are unable to find any clues...”

Beside him was another person, also dressed in black, but he didn’t cover his face. His nose was exceptionally big, pretty much taking up half of his face. Moreover he had shifty eyes, making him look really cunning. A dark glow flashed across his eyes, which sent a chill down one’s spine. At the moment he was absentmindedly looking around the area.

“We are under orders from teacher to search for the person who killed Old Mi. Why have we searched to this place? Although we were asked by Gantian Mountain’s Zong Shou to send the Prince back, didn’t teacher say that their price was too low and rejected it? That Gantian Mountain Prince has nothing to do with us now!”

“Naturally he has something to do with us!”

That handsome teen laughed coldly, walking in front of a pine tree and saying expressionlessly, “Those Xiantian experts who have relationships with the Gantian Mountain Prince were mostly around Cloud Saint City. Within Cloud Saint City, they mostly know about us, and Lingyun Sect wouldn’t easily act against Old Mi. In my eyes, only this group of people is possible. Does Chou Ling Junior Brother agree with me?”

While he spoke, that handsome teen took one of the broken branches. After taking a look at the edge that was broken, he immediately took in a cold breath.

“Cutting off all signs of life. This person, what a sharp sword. As expected from the Hundred Thousand Blood Killer...”

“Li Yaling’s sword is naturally good. That crazy guy kills without blinking! Even I feel chills down my spine. Even such a beautiful wife was killed by him and turned into dust. Who knows if it truly that Xuanwu Ancestor who appeared who did this?”

That handsome teen kept silent and didn’t reply. Chou Ling didn’t mind it, starting to move around. “But Senior Brother Yun, what you said does make sense. This group of people took up seventy percent of those who has the ability to take Old Mi’s life! Who knows, maybe four of them have already died here!”

He suddenly stood rooted to the ground, his eyes staring at the head of Li Yaling, whose eyes were opened wide. Chou Ling’s brow furrowed as he gave out a cold laugh.

“They are all dead, so why are they making such an expression, like they died with grievances? Losing your life and losing your sword, who else can you kill?”

He actually raised his leg and heavily stepped down, smashing Li Yaling’s head like it was a watermelon.

In the next moment, his expression changed, “Sword energy?”

Numerous blades of energy exploded out under his feet. Chou Ling rapidly backed off, in just a breath he was two hundred feet away.

There were numerous wounds on the bottom of his foot, and also some scratches on his legs. He couldn’t help but curse, “Why does this Li Yaling still want to harm people even when he is hurt! Luckily I reacted quickly at this. Eh, something isn’t right...”

Thinking back clearly to the scene from before, Chou Ling instantly took in a cold breath, “It’s from the neck. It isn’t Li Yaling, but the person who killed him! This sword intent had gathered and not exploded, secluding itself in wait for half a day. This person is really amazing! As expected from a Xuanwu Ancestor...”

That teen who was surnamed Yun moved his body and flew to the still perfectly intact body of Li Yaling, looking at the severed neck. A short while later he slightly shook his head, “No! It isn’t at the sword sense level. It feels like it is only at the Xiantian Realm. How is that possible? Which Xiantian expert in this world could kill Hundred Thousand Blood Killer? This Li Yaling is good at the Land Galloping Art and is really swift. If not, how was he able to escape and flee after being chased so many times? Who was able to make it such that he wasn’t even able to escape?”

The more he spoke, the more serious he got, his eyes filled with doubt. Chou Ling, who was tending to his wounds, was also stunned.

If the person who killed Li Yaling was a Xuanwu Ancestor, then this matter wasn’t surprising. They could only exclaim that this Hundred Thousand Blood Killer’s luck wasn’t good. But if the one who attacked was a Xiantian Master, that meant that the nature of this matter had became totally different.

If this matter spread out in the Cloud World, not only Donglin Cloud Continent, even the Central Cloud Continent would be shaken.

The name of Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling shocked not only Donglin Cloud Continent. After a short while, he smiled, suddenly slapping out with a fist, turning Li Yaling’s body into dust.

“Junior brother, we really managed to find something interesting, thanks to you. It might not be related to Old Mi, but I am really curious now and definitely have to take a look...”

———-

Within Cloud Spirit God Palace...

Long Ruo was riding his giant Flood Dragon and flying towards one of the halls.

This palace within the clouds sat in the deepest parts of the cloud ocean. It was really spacious and all around were endless amounts of mist.

The scenary’s beauty was pretty much unmatched in the world, but if one looked at it every day, one would just find it to be normal.

Ten thousand feet away from that stone palace, Long Ruo stepped down from the body of his Protector Spirit Beast and walked in alone.

Although this place was huge, there were very few people. Long Ruo walked in through the gates, directly into the large space of the stone hall where only five people sat.

Four of them were dressed in green robes, there faces looking haggard, their eyes closed shut as they sat on the left and right sides. The one directly at the front had a complexion as clear as jade, his eyes looked like paint, face really handsome and roughly 17-18 years of age as he looked over with a smile.

“Do you find it weird why I summoned you over? Take a look at this!”

While he spoke, the teen casually waved his hand and a blue light flew over. Long Ruo’s brows rose and a solemn expression appeared on his face. He waved his sleeves and an absorption force sucked out, carefully catching that blue light in his hands. It was a two-inch long small sword, really sharp and cold.

“It’s the Broken Blade Knife!”

Long Ruo’s brow furrowed, and he was on cloud nine as he bowed forwards, “Thank you, teacher and fellow Senior Masters, for your support and love. With this sword my Sword Driving Art will definitely become much stronger.”

He asked curiously, “How did you obtain this Broken Blade Sword? Didn’t legend have it that our sect searched for it for two hundred years, but was unable to find it. Wasn’t this sword possibly destroyed by that person?”

“Your Junior Brother Zu Renkuang bought it. The one who found this sword was Gantian Mountain’s Zong Shou. It was hidden within a normal Black Wave Sword, how surprising! To buy this sword, Renkuang used two Human Pinnacle Pills and a Grade Five spirit beast. Long Ruo, in the future, you need to compensate him...”

As the teen said that, his brow furrowed. “Renkuang said that this Zong Shou is unable to cultivate due to dual meridians and doesn’t even have a single bit of internal energy. For him to be able to find this sword he is truly lucky. Long Ruo, you personally saw him, do you really think he has no hope of cultivating?”

“Not a thread of internal energy?”

Long Ruo was slightly startled. He remembered when they first met that Gantian Mountain Prince was obviously at the Martial Master level and his foundations weren’t weak. Why did Junior Brother Zu Renkuang say that he didn’t have a single bit of internal energy?

He didn’t pay much thought to it; maybe the Prince had totally given up hope and had dissipated his true qi. With a Dual Meridian Body cultivating the martial path was like torture every single moment. It wasn’t surprising for one to give up.

Suppressing his doubts, he didn’t hesitate to shake his head. “I remember that I mentioned that he has other problems. His soul is shattered and has barriers raised by the heavens. I think that at most in this life he could only reach the Mythic Master Realm. As for Spirit Cultivation, once he reaches the Out of Body Realm he will definitely die. If I misjudged it, dig my eyes out...”

The teen immediately gave out a light laugh. After a short while he gave out a regretful sigh, “How unfortunate! His personality and temperament is not bad, martial cultivation and talisman talents are both top class,but why is he unable to cultivate? There is nothing certain and the heavens are hard to predict!”

Long Ruo kept silent and didn’t say anything, but for some reason when those words were said, he felt uneasiness within his soul, like he had done something wrong that he was unable to make up for, his heart trembling constantly.

That teen didn’t notice Long Ruo’s weird expression, and after sighing, his expression turned solemn. “A year from now will be when the Dragon Gate opens. All the disciples of the sect would gather in Dragon Gathering Mountain. Many of the experts in Donglin Cloud Continent will also participate. However, out of these thousands of people only twenty will have the chance to view the remnant images left by the Martial Saint. The only decent people our sect can take out are Zu Renkuang and you. Long Ruo, you need to prepare well these few days! If you throw the face of our sect, I won’t let you off lightly!”

His tone was like that of a bell and drum, bringing Long Ruo to come back to his senses, instantly keeping all the random thoughts in his heart as he bowed to the front, “Long Ruo understands, I won’t let down Master and Senior Masters!”

An intense passion rose in his chest. Dragon Gate Martial Saint Remnant Image only appeared once in a hundred years. It was a stone pillar that was left behind by a Martial Saint expert who had shocked the world ten thousand years ago. It was said that everyone who comprehended it all had great improvements in the martial path.

Although he was a spirit master, he leaned towards the sword cultivation path, and this Martial Saint Remnant Image was of equal importance to him.

He was also looking forward to competing and proving his strength against the many experts of the Donglin Cloud Continent!
