Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 177 The Secret of Honghuang Palace
On the ice field, after expelling the evil energy from his body, Lin Xuan's injuries quickly stabilized. Only the shocking wound on his chest still told of the brutal battle before.

After standing up, Lin Xuan turned his head and looked somewhere. Zhu Yan and Fu Zhu were running towards him quickly and finally landed on Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan did not ask about the sudden disappearance of Fu Zhu and Zhu Yan. He never liked to meddle in other things.

Turning his head to look at Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan who were standing together, Lin Xuan's gaze lingered on Ling Qingzhu's black hair. Her previous ice-blue hair had now completely turned back to its shiny black color, except that the ends of her hair still had a hint of frost.

After glancing at Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan, Lin Xuan nodded slightly without mentioning the ownership of the Ice Ancestral Talisman. Since Ling Qingzhu had obtained it, it was Ling Qingzhu's opportunity.

Just seeing how close Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan were, Lin Xuan felt a little strange in his heart for some reason. He always felt that there seemed to be something different between the two people in front of him.

Moreover, it seemed that Ying Huanhuan not only accepted the fact that Ling Qingzhu had obtained the Ice Ancestral Talisman, but also seemed to be very happy about it, which was completely different from her previous attempt to target Ling Qingzhu in every way.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Xuan didn't want to think about these things, nor could he figure them out. Lin Xuan had an excellent advantage, that is, if he couldn't figure out unimportant things, he wouldn't bother himself with them.

"Come on, it's time for us to go out!"

Lin Xuan spoke softly and Ying Huanhuan looked at Lin Xuan with some worry. Regardless of whether the other party had other purposes or not, the Demon Prison would definitely want to get rid of Lin Xuan if possible.

And Lin Xuan is in such a weak state now, it is hard to say that the Seven Kings Palace will not try their best to kill Lin Xuan.

However, Ying Huanhuan also knew that once Lin Xuan made a decision, it would be difficult for others to change it. Moreover, he should be aware of his own condition and should have recovered a lot.

"After you get out, be careful. I'm afraid the people from Yuan Sect are blocking the way there. We just need to hold them off until Daddy and the Palace Master arrive."

Ying Huanhuan warned softly, Ling Qingzhu didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement. The three masters of Yuanmen could be resisted by the masters of various factions.

Lin Xuan did not refute when he heard this, but he knew in his heart that Ying Xuanzi and others were probably being held back by the Palace of Seven Kings.

The Palace of the Seven Kings has set up such a big plan, and their goal is definitely not small. However, the Profound Sky Continent has also taken action. At least, there are many arrangements in the Profound Sky Region.

If the Palace of Seven Kings wanted to find something in Dongxuan Territory, it would inevitably alarm Ying Xuanzi and others. If Ying Xuanzi and others were not held back by the Palace of Seven Kings, there would be only one reason, that is, Lin Xuan's arrangement was too poor and he failed to guard against the Palace of Seven Kings.

But Lin Xuan was very confident in himself. Except for the Yuan Sect, even if the other factions had not yet formed a complete alliance, they still had many connections in secret, and they would definitely notice any abnormalities.

As for the three great masters of Yuan Sect, they should have been stopped by Bo Xuan and others.

At least, judging from various arrangements, the Tianxuan Continent should have the advantage. After all, in addition to the super sects in the Eastern Xuan Territory, the Eastern Xuan Territory also has the external aid of the Dark Palace, the overlord of the Northern Xuan Territory. In theory, it is normal for them to have the advantage.

But Lin Xuan felt somewhat uneasy. He could smell the aura of disaster in the air and was afraid that another disaster was about to happen.

The three of them didn't say anything, they flew away into the distance, looking for a way to leave this space.

On the other side, above the plain outside the space, Bo Xuan, who had set up the world of darkness, was standing in the void with a serious expression.

Not long ago, Bo Xuan received a message from another supreme elder that the Seven Kings Palace broke into the Honghuang Palace and seemed to have obtained some magic treasure from the Honghuang Palace, which greatly increased the demonic energy of their clones and their strength, and they had even suppressed the Honghuang Flag.

The Honghuang Flag is one of the top ten divine objects on the list of ancient divine objects. It is on the same level as the Dark Holy Scythe that Bo Xuan had before. However, unlike the Dark Holy Scythe which had a broken sickle spirit, the Honghuang Flag has an intact flag spirit.

It can be said that among the current several divine objects, the Honghuang Flag should be the one in the best condition and with the highest combat power.

If the Honghuang Flag allows the Seven Kings Palace to take it away smoothly, it will not be good news for their Tianxuan Continent. It will even be a huge blow to their morale.

The Honghuang Flag was the authentic general flag in ancient times. If the general flag was taken away, it would inevitably affect the morale. When the news spreads, people will probably panic.

Bo Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he directly reduced the suppression of the Dark Realm a little. At the same time, Bo Xuan personally went into the Dark Realm with the Supreme Elder and attacked Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi.

As for Yuanzi, the person who triggered the evil energy in his body, Bo Xuan interfered with him with the realm of darkness and did not engage in a head-on battle with him.

With the joining of Bo Xuan, the pressure on Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi doubled. However, after a few moves, Bo Xuan left several scars on their bodies, which had only suffered minor injuries.

Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi did not try to hold on. After seeing that the suppression from the Dark Realm was not that strong, they sent a message directly to the Palace of Seven Kings for help. They were worried that once Lin Xuan came out of that space, even if they paid a price, they might not be able to escape unscathed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Powerful energy fluctuations continued to emanate from the dark realm, and the pressure on Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi continued to increase, causing both of them to look unhappy.

At this time, the Seven Kings Palace, which was far away in the Honghuang Palace, looked at the old man with white eyebrows and black robe with fear after receiving the message from Tianyuanzi and the other two.

Ying Xuanzi and others were afraid of the Seven Kings Palace's powerful strength after its sudden increase, but the Seven Kings Palace was also afraid of Ying Xuanzi and others. It was not that they were afraid of the strength of Ying Xuanzi and others, but they were worried that in the end, a madman like the master of the Honghuang Palace would fight with him for his life and drag it here.

By then, after Tian Yuanzi and his men were defeated and fled back to Yuanmen, the Palace of Seven Kings would be attacked from both sides. Moreover, the creatures of Tianxuan Continent were always crazy, so maybe this clone of its would really be left behind.

It's just a clone, the Palace of Seven Kings doesn't care about it, but the treasure carried by this clone is of vital importance. If it is lost, it will be a sin that cannot be redeemed even if it dies a hundred times.

Therefore, in order to act prudently, the Palace of Seven Kings chose to retreat first and rescue Yuanmen and others first. At least they should not be driven back to Yuanmen. Otherwise, even if they were as strong as the Palace of Seven Kings, one person would not be able to withstand such great pressure.

After seeing the Seven Kings Hall retreat, Ying Xuanzi and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing this, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace flew to the side of the Palace Master of Honghuang Palace. Seeing the Palace Master's blood and qi being broken and his momentum greatly reduced, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Palace Master, this time it's us who are late, causing you to suffer such a great loss."

"If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have died at the hands of that evil demon. I should be thanking you."

The Lord of Honghuang Palace shook his head slightly, and spoke to the Lord of Taiqing Palace, Ying Xuanzi and others with gratitude. However, after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh in a deep voice. Everywhere he looked, he saw scorched earth, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little more sad.

"It's a pity that I was incompetent and let the foundation of our ancestors be destroyed in my hands. Even my teacher's coffin was destroyed by the evil demon. As a result, the things that my teacher suppressed were taken away by the evil demon, and the Honghuang Flag was also suppressed by the evil demon."

"Honghuang Flag?"

Ying Xuanzi and the others looked serious. When they arrived, the Honghuang Flag had been suppressed by the Palace of Seven Kings. After fighting for a while, the Palace of Seven Kings retreated directly.

At this point, after hearing the words of the Lord of Honghuang Palace, they realized that the Seven Kings Palace had actually suppressed the Honghuang Flag and taken it away. If they had known this earlier, they would definitely not have let the Seven Kings Palace leave so easily.

That was one of the top ten divine objects on the ancient divine object list. Such a precious treasure had fallen into the hands of the evil demon.

"The Honghuang Flag is in your sect, so why have I never seen your sect use it?"

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace frowned slightly. It was not that she doubted the words of the Palace Master of Honghuang Palace, but she felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the appearance of the Honghuang Flag.

"Alas, my master's coffin is a place of suppression. The Honghuang flag seems to have suppressed something underneath. The reason why the Seven Kings Palace suddenly increased in strength is because they took away that monster."

The Lord of Honghuang Palace couldn't help but sigh, with some regret and self-blame in his eyes. In his opinion, if it weren't for his incompetence, the Honghuang Flag would have fallen into the hands of the evil demon.

"In fact, my teacher's coffin, to be precise, is not his own. It is mine, or rather, it belongs to the successive masters of the Honghuang Palace."

"The previous palace masters?"

Old Ghost Qian and Ying Xuanzi were slightly stunned, obviously not quite understanding. Upon hearing this, the Lord of Honghuang Palace explained softly that, in fact, he didn't know much either, and these things were passed down from generation to generation.

"Yes, before my master passed away, he took me to take out my master's body from the coffin, burned it, sealed it in an altar, and placed it in the Patriarch's Hall. Before he passed away, he told me that when I was about to pass away, I should do the same, take out my master's body, burn it, and store it in the Patriarch's Hall."

"At that time, after my master instructed me on this matter, he stepped into the coffin. Now that I think about it, my master must have used his last bit of life to help suppress the monster under the coffin, and he burned the corpse because he was afraid that the corpse would be controlled by the evil spirits."

A hint of realization flashed across the lifeless eyes of the Lord of Honghuang Palace. Only at this moment did he understand the intention of his ancestors' teachings.

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, Ying Xuanzi and others standing nearby were all in awe when they heard this. Even the old man with white eyebrows and black robe looked at the Palace Master of Honghuang Palace with some respect in his eyes.

"No wonder. I guess your clan's inheritance must be from the inheritance of the Lord of the Great Desolation on the Great Desolation Flag."

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace and Ying Xuanzi nodded slightly in agreement when they heard this. Now it seems that this is the case. However, the Palace Master of Honghuang Palace had a guilty look on his face.

"We dare not approach the Lord of the Great Desolation. It is because we are incompetent that we failed to keep the treasures left by the Lord of the Great Desolation."

Thinking back to the past, the Lord of the Great Desolation was so prestigious, but now, he can only allow the evil demons to take away his monsters. Not to mention recognizing the Lord of the Great Desolation as his ancestor, in the heart of the Lord of the Great Desolation Palace, he is too ashamed to face the Lord of the Great Desolation.

"Palace Master, there is no need to blame yourself too much. After all, the Seven Kings Palace is a high-level organization in the Demon Prison, and their methods are extremely strange. Even the Lord of the Primordial World himself would have to take it seriously. We can just do our best and there is no need to blame ourselves for this."

Although he said so, in fact, even the old man with white eyebrows himself felt a little guilty when he learned that the Honghuang Flag was suppressed and taken away. If he had not stayed in Yuanmen before, but followed the Seven Kings Palace, even if he could not track it down, he would not have come so far.

The four people came from three directions. Among them, the old man with white eyebrows was the farthest away. Dao Zong and Taiqing Palace were about the same distance away. So, even though he was the strongest, he still arrived with Ying Xuanzi and the others.

"Now, I just hope that nothing goes wrong with the Palace Master."

However, as soon as the white-browed old man finished speaking, his eyes condensed slightly, and then his pupils dilated rapidly, and he spoke hurriedly.

"Oh no, the Seventh Palace King just left. I'm afraid he went to the Palace Master. Let's go there immediately."

As he spoke, the white-browed old man stretched out his hand and directly drew a space channel. Without saying a word, he went straight in. Ying Xuanzi, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace and others behind him rushed in one after another. Seeing this, the Palace Master of Honghuang Palace also followed in.

The white-browed old man glanced at the master of Honghuang Palace, but did not refuse. At a time like this, one more person means one more strength. After all, he has the combat power of the Wheel-Turning Realm.

"Just now, I received a message from the Palace Master that the three great masters of Yuan Sect were trapped. In order to help us out, the Palace Master forced the three great masters of Yuan Sect to ask for help from the Seven Kings Palace. Just now, the Seven Kings Palace hurriedly left to rescue the three great masters of Yuan Sect."

"I'm afraid it's not just that. Perhaps the Seventh King Palace is worried that we will hold them back and Palace Master Bo Xuan will return and leave his clone behind. Besides, my disciple has already gone with Master Ying's beloved daughter to get the Ice Ancestral Talisman. If they succeed, the Seventh King Palace will be isolated and helpless, and I'm afraid it will be in deep danger."

This is indeed what the Seven Kings Palace thinks deep in their hearts, and it is also what annoys them the most. In this big chess game, they should have been in the dark Demon Prison and had the upper hand and initiative all the time.

This is how the Demon Prison has survived for so many years, constantly eliminating the ancestral talisman controllers of the Profound Tian Continent and eliminating so many geniuses, while the Profound Tian Continent has only been able to passively defend, while the Demon Prison has always taken the initiative.

But now, when they arrived at Yuanmen, the situation suddenly turned completely upside down. Not only were they unable to take the initiative everywhere, they even often suffered considerable losses.

Last time, they lost the Space Ancestral Talisman. This time, the task could have been completed easily, but the Palace of Seven Kings was forced to use an Ice Ancestral Talisman as bait.
