Chapter 22: Miss Wangxing! You Can’t Go!

In the Violet Mist Holy Land, after the handmaiden Xiao Chan spread the news with the Saintess’s token, apart from the high-level members of the Holy Land who were in seclusion, the remaining elders and peak masters had already gathered.

“The Black Dragon Sect? What is the Black Dragon Sect doing in Luo City?”

“Could it be to awaken the demonic sword?” The Spirit Tool Hall Master frowned. “But isn’t the demonic sword’s scabbard in the hands of our Holy Land? How can they awaken it?”

“Miss Wangxing, can you be more specific?”

A Hall Master looked at Wangxing.

Wangxing was not a disciple of the Violet Mist Holy Land, but a direct descendant of Tianji City, the granddaughter of the previous Tianji City Lord.

It was just that the Violet Mist Grand Ceremony was about to be held soon, so the young woman, who was traveling in Qianye Province, stayed for a while longer to represent Tianji City at the Violet Mist Holy Land’s Grand Ceremony.

Wangxing shook her head. “This junior’s cultivation is shallow, and I have overused my eyes. Moreover, the heavenly secrets are too chaotic tonight. I cannot see anything more.”

Wangxing’s tone was anxious. Compared to these Hall Masters and Peak Masters, she cared more about the lives of the millions of people in Luo City.

This was not to say that the elders of the Violet Mist Holy Land didn’t care, but that they were thinking more, wanting to know what kind of tricks the Black Dragon Sect was up to so they could prescribe the right medicine.

After all, the other party was one of the four great demonic sects of the demonic path. They had to be on guard. Otherwise, even if a country were to be destroyed, not so many high-level members of the Holy Land would come to discuss it.

“Xiao Chan, can you contact Her Highness?” the Sword Hall Master asked.

Xiao Chan shook her head.

Seeing Xiao Chan shake her head, everyone fell silent, their expressions filled with hesitation.

The Black Dragon Sect’s strength was comparable to the nine great Holy Lands, and they even had an Ascension realm cultivator. With the Sect Master and the Saintess absent, the protective mountain formation of the Violet Mist Holy Land had a very limited effect.

As old veterans of the cultivation world, they worried that this was a conspiracy by the Black Dragon Sect, a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, with the aim of obtaining the demonic sword’s scabbard.

“Wangxing implores the elders to save the people of Luo City from fire and water!”

Faintly sensing their thoughts, the pale-faced Wangxing’s skirt fluttered lightly. She placed her hands on her well-proportioned thighs and curtsied, like a flower-butterfly spreading its wings.

Finally, the Vice Holy Lord of the Violet Mist Holy Land, Jiang Qingshang’s martial uncle, Fang Jianqiu, slowly spoke:
“I will personally lead the team, assisted by one Jade-Pu realm Hall Master and seven Nascent Soul realm elders. We will select five hundred Golden Core disciples, seven hundred Dragon Gate realm disciples, and one thousand Ocean-Observing realm disciples to go and stop the Black Dragon Sect!”

“Yes.”

The various Hall and Peak Masters accepted the order and left. In less than half an incense stick’s time, the Immortal realm Fang Jianqiu led the elders of the Violet Mist Holy Land and left at top speed!

A team like this, logically speaking, would have no problem even annihilating a near-first-rate demonic sect.

But…
Wangxing lightly bit her lower lip, looking at that blood moon. Why was she still so uneasy…
“Miss Wangxing?! Miss Wangxing! You can’t go! Miss Wangxing!”

A female disciple was escorting the delicate and frail Wangxing back to the guest peak, but Wangxing turned and left, using a secret technique of Tianji City to遁 into the void! Without even thinking, this girl was definitely heading to Luo City!

In the outskirts of Luo City, Lin Xun had already arrived in a small forest covered with concealment formations.

Originally, Lin Xun had thought of bringing Hua Lengyue along. He was, after all, half her master, and a field practical tutorial would be nice.

But Lin Xun hadn’t seen Hua Lengyue for the past two days. It was only when he went out that a piece of paper floated down from the sky.

When Lin Xun caught it and looked, he learned that Lengyue was going to the battlefield in the north of Qianye Province.

Regarding that battlefield, Lin Xun also had some understanding. It was the main battlefield between the Violet Mist Holy Land’s Rakshasa Hall and the demonic sect’s Blood-Dripping Tower.

“Sigh, I’m a little worried. After all, the Violet Mist Holy Land’s Rakshasa Hall is quite famous, and they especially like to assassinate people when they’re squatting in the latrine. Will Lengyue be at a disadvantage?”

But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Xun felt he was overthinking it.

After all, Lengyue was also at the Golden Core realm. Self-preservation should not be a problem.

It was just a pity that he hadn’t taught her the true way of the Assassin.

When she came back, he would have her learn to toll the funeral bell.

After briefly thinking about his half-disciple, Lin Xun collected his thoughts and walked deeper into the forest.

Here, a full twenty li from Luo City, under the cover of the concealment formation, eight blood-red formation arrays in eight directions were all within Lin Xun’s perception range.

Lin Xun really didn’t know what kind of formation this was, but it was definitely not something good, and each formation was guarded by a Jade-Pu realm elder.

Top-tier configuration…

Randomly picking a formation, Lin Xun planned to go and take a closer look.

“Who is it!”

By the time the Jade-Pu realm elders sensed the movement, they were already completely unable to move.

“You…”

Watching Lin Xun approach step by step, he broke out in a cold sweat. This man wasn’t using any techniques, but was simply releasing his spiritual power, forming a spiritual pressure that rendered him immobile!
But, I’m at the Jade-Pu realm! A spiritual pressure that can immobilize even a Jade-Pu realm cultivator!
Who on earth is this man?!

And with every step this man took, this Jade-Pu realm elder felt another great mountain pressing down on him, his internal organs about to be crushed!
Lin Xun didn’t waste any words with him, directly using the soul-searching secret technique of the Myriad Demons Sect’s Hundred Ghosts Hall.

In less than two breaths, Lin Xun opened his eyes, and the Jade-Pu realm elder fell to the ground.

Regarding the Black Dragon Sect’s plan and the revival of the demonic sword, Lin Xun understood everything.

The revival of the demonic sword had two stages: one was summoning it into the world, and the other was awakening it.

Only the awakening stage required the blood sacrifice of the people of Luo City.

Looking at this blood formation, Lin Xun temporarily decided not to destroy it. He planned to act when the demonic sword appeared. Otherwise, as long as the demonic sword existed, the Black Dragon Sect would come again on the next blood moon…
It wasn’t that he couldn’t go to the Black Dragon Sect and make them behave, but it would be easy to expose himself.

After all, the Black Dragon Sect was not like a medium-sized sect like the Gu-Poison Sect, but one of the four great demonic sects. He would cause a huge commotion.

And just as Lin Xun was lying on a tree, waiting for the demonic sword to appear before stopping it, a loud noise came from the sky, and the disciples of the Violet Mist Holy Land broke through the air.

“Eh? Why is the Violet Mist Holy Land’s reaction so fast?”

Lin Xun was a little puzzled, because the effect of this concealment formation was very good. Even an Immortal realm cultivator would only notice it in the early stages of the demonic sword’s awakening.

“But… it’s useless even if they’re fast…”

Lin Xun sighed with a hint of pity and closed his eyes.

Sure enough, not long after the disciples and elders of the Violet Mist Holy Land arrived, the cultivators of the Black Dragon Sect, who had long been lying in ambush, all moved out, surrounding everyone.
