Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 223

Dongxuan Territory, Yuan Territory, and the ancestral home of the Yuan Clan.

Inside the mourning hall, an old man with an eerie pale face looked up at the broken pieces of jade beads on the ground in front of him. His dry and evil face showed no abnormality at all, only a calmness like dead water.

After silently cleaning up the pile of broken jade, the pale-faced old man stood in the hall and waited quietly. After a while, three figures shrouded in strange black fog appeared in the hall.

He glanced at the stone platform which was now largely empty, then Tian Yuanzi set his eyes on the strange old man and said in a deep voice.

"Great Elder, what is the specific situation?"

"Reporting to the master, a few of these disciples' soul jades were shattered some time ago, and the rest were shattered just now."

The frighteningly pale old man was the newly promoted grand elder of Yuanmen. He was also extremely powerful. He was a backup plan prepared by Tianyuanzi and others for themselves to deal with Lin Xuan and Dao Zong's trump card.

It can be said that the status of this newly promoted great elder is extremely high, even no less than that of Tian Yuanzi and the other three.

Tian Yuanzi did not say anything when he heard this, but just nodded silently to indicate that he understood. He did not ask any further questions. A small part of it had shattered some time ago, obviously because of the danger encountered in the Demonic Realm. Tian Yuanzi did not want to pay attention to this issue.

In Tian Yuanzi's view, these things were just trivial matters. Even the death of all the Yuanmen disciples who went to participate in the sect competition was just a disappearance, which was nothing at all.

What Tian Yuanzi really cares about is the information hidden behind the deaths of these Yuanmen disciples. This information is what Tian Yuanzi cares about.

After all, Yuan Cang's strength is still considerable, and he has the special treasure he gave him to protect his life. Even if Ling Qingzhu, the reincarnation of the Ice Lord, uses some special forbidden methods, he may not be able to stop Yuan Cang.

This is not because Tian Yuanzi is conceited, but because his own strength is far beyond that of Ling Qingzhu, and he can use more means. Moreover, the difficulty of killing a person with all his strength and barely saving a person's life are simply not on the same level.

Therefore, Tian Yuanzi wanted to know even more, what had forced Yuan Cang to use the life-saving method he had given him first, leading to Yuan Cang being killed directly?
The main reason why Tian Yuanzi wanted to find out was that he was a little worried. He suspected that the man might have directly entered the Demonic Realm, thus causing his plan to fail.

In fact, Tian Yuanzi's plan was not simply to release the sealed alien demon general. It was just a alien demon general with only a combat power at the level of Wheel-Turning Realm. Tian Yuanzi now looked down on it at all. How could he spend countless energy to do such a thing?
The alien demon general was just the first step, the very beginning link of the plan, and also a crucial link. Without that alien demon general, his subsequent plans would have been impossible to carry out.

The real reason is related to the Yuanmen's ancestral temple. There is a big secret hidden under the ground of the Yuanmen's ancestral temple. Therefore, when Lin Xuan attacked him and even surrounded by many top powerhouses such as Bo Xuan, Tian Yuanzi did not choose to escape, but chose to activate the sect protection formation and defend it to the death.

Do they not want to escape? Or do they not know how to escape? No, they cannot escape.

In fact, if Tian Yuanzi and the other two had escaped at that time, the entire Yuanmen would have been fine, because it was impossible for Lin Xuan, Dao Zong, Bo Xuan and others to really massacre the entire Yuanmen.

After all, the Yuan Sect at that time had not yet been tainted by the devil, and there was only one top-notch strongman. As long as Tian Yuanzi and the other two were not there, most of the Yuan Sect disciples could be said to be innocent.

In addition, it was impossible for Lin Xuan and others to slaughter indiscriminately. At that time, the real war had not yet broken out. Moreover, the power of Dao Sect did not have enough top powerhouses to guard the entire Dongxuan Region. If they slaughtered the disciples of Yuan Sect, then later, Tian Yuanzi and others could slaughter people from other super sects at will.

It can be said that from that perspective, if Tian Yuanzi and others had escaped at that time, it would have been the best strategy. However, Tian Yuanzi and others did not leave, but chose to take the risk and defend to the death.

What are the consequences of holding on? We have to worry that if Bo Xuan and others join forces to attack and fight to the death, coupled with a mad sword master, there is a risk of destroying the sect protection formation.

But even so, why did Tian Yuanzi still want to defend it? Of course, it was because of the huge demon corpse cave under the Yuanmen. There was the biggest secret of the Yuanmen.

There are countless corpses of alien demons there, but with the power of Tian Yuanzi and others, it is difficult to control those corpses of alien demons, because they are all humans infected by demons, and their affinity for alien demonic energy is not high enough, so they cannot control such a powerful force.

This is also the reason why Tian Yuanzi would go to so much trouble to set up the Demon Realm and find ways to release the Demon General, because Tian Yuanzi needed a helper, a helper who had enough ability and who could be controlled by him and obey his orders.

Tian Yuanzi didn't want all his efforts to go to waste and become a tool for the powerful demons of the Demon Clan. He hoped that these things could be used on him to improve his strength.

But unfortunately, he has never been able to find a suitable helper, and it just so happens that the demon general can be found.

First of all, in terms of strength, the alien demon general is only comparable to the Wheel-Turning Realm. Tian Yuanzi and others can easily suppress him, and then use the alien demon's corpse to prioritize improving their own strength.

Secondly, after this incident, he could train more of his own people to improve his status in the demon clan.

But now, this plan went wrong. Yuan Cang and all the other Yuanmen disciples who entered the Demonic Realm died. Tian Yuanzi was even more worried that the Demonic General might have been killed as well.

Because Tian Yuanzi had an extremely bold guess in his mind, that is, that damn madman had entered the Demonic Realm and was able to exert all his strength to eliminate the Demonic General.

If that is the case, Tian Yuanzi will have to find a way to find a new target.

Therefore, Tian Yuanzi asked directly about the specific situation. He wanted to judge whether the alien demon general was still alive.

"Master, the remaining soul jades, the weaker ones, will be shattered first. After this batch is shattered, the soul jades of Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen, Lei Qian, and many elite disciples will be shattered."

The newly promoted elder with a pale face responded in a calm tone.

The great elder naturally knew Tian Yuanzi's true plan, because he was the first beneficiary of this plan. It was also because of his appearance that Tian Yuanzi was so eager to use the corpses of the alien demons, because the power in them was too strong.

He was originally just an elder of Yuanmen, and an elder who almost died. However, due to an accident, he fused with the corpse of a demon and actually gained power comparable to the realm of reincarnation. How could Tian Yuanzi not be jealous?

Yes, this newly promoted great elder almost died. He died a hundred years ago. He was the one who was killed by Zhou Tong.

Originally, he was almost dead, with only his last breath left. Then, he was thrown into the Demon Corpse Cave and struggled for a hundred years. Finally, some time ago, because the Sword Saint attacked the sect protection formation, the underground demonic energy was impacted, and he survived and successfully controlled the power of the demon corpse. The powerful power, coupled with the difficulty of fusion, made Tian Yuanzi and others give up the idea of ​​​​direct fusion, and had to find a suitable demon clan strongman to help him.

"You mean, they shattered a group of weak ones first, and then the rest were killed by another group?"

Tian Yuanzi frowned slightly. He was quite familiar with the Fentian Ancient Repository. Although Tian Yuanzi had never entered the Fentian Ancient Repository and had never opened it before, Yuan Men had gone through untold hardships to obtain the key, so he naturally knew the special secret of the Fentian Ancient Repository. Otherwise, Yuan Cang would not have prevented disciples below the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm from entering at the beginning.

It is precisely because of this that Tian Yuanzi is somewhat puzzled. From this point of view, Yuan Cang and others should have opened the Fentian Ancient Repository first, and then the Yuanmen disciples who stayed outside the Fentian Ancient Repository were surrounded and killed by the Dao Sect disciples.

As for Yuan Cang and others who entered, they were killed later.

If that crazy swordsman had also entered the Alien Demon Realm, unless he hadn't met him, according to that crazy man's temperament, he would have drawn his sword and killed Yuan Cang and the others...

No, that's not right!

That madman will definitely wipe out the entire clan, so he will make sure that all plans are destroyed and everyone is killed. In other words, that person will definitely let Yuan Cang open the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure, and then, after killing the general-level demon, he will kill Yuan Cang and others together.

"Did Yuan Cang and the others' soul jades shatter at the same time?"

Tian Yuanzi suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, if they were shattered at the same time, then the deaths of Yuan Cang and others were caused by that person, and he attacked Yuan Cang and others, so he should not have the energy left to wipe out the alien demon general.

But if that's not the case, then that general-level demon should almost cease to exist.

"No, they all happened within that moment. However, they did not break at the same time, but broke one after another. Yuan Cang's was the last to break."

The great elder, whose face was frighteningly pale, narrated expressionlessly that he was no longer a normal person after he changed his body.

After hearing the words of the Great Elder, Tian Yuanzi couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed softly. Now there was no need to guess. That madman must have gone in, and that general-level demon must have died.

As for the protective treasures of Yuan Cang and others, there is no need to think about it. Either they were forced out by that madman before entering the Fentian Ancient Storage, or they were scared out, or they were forced out inside the Fentian Ancient Storage, no, inside the Fentian Cauldron, and then they were besieged and killed by Ling Qingzhu, Ying Xiaoxiao and others.

With that person's means, if he wanted to enter the Burning Heaven Cauldron and leave safely, he would have to use that life-saving treasure.

Di Yuanzi, who had been standing nearby without saying anything, now had a fierce look on his face and couldn't help but speak out.

"Tian Yuanzi, since that guy has already entered the Demonic Realm, why don't we..."

While speaking, Di Yuanzi couldn't help but make a ruthless gesture. Tian Yuanzi naturally understood his thoughts. He just wanted to take this opportunity to directly go to war with Dao Zong, Jiutian Taiqing Palace, and at most the Dark Temple.

But is this really the case?

"No, if I'm not mistaken, in addition to Dao Sect and Taiqing Palace, the forces such as Shen Sect and Fugu must have also contributed to the siege and killing of Yuan Cang and others. They must have secretly united."

Tian Yuanzi could be sure of this without even having to think about it. After all, they were natural allies.

Now, the secret of Yuanmen has not been exposed, it has just not been made public. Almost everyone knows what they should know. How could those forces not help Dao Zong and instead join them?

Not everyone is as spineless as them and would directly surrender to the demons.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to do nothing? Let Dao Zong start forming an alliance and then target us little by little?"

Di Yuanzi said with some dissatisfaction, although they are at a disadvantage now, and a big disadvantage at that, but if they do nothing, wouldn't that just be sitting there and waiting to die?
If that's the case, then why would you join the alien demons? You can just wait for them to kill you.

"No, we haven't lost yet!"

Tian Yuanzi's face turned slightly cold. He glanced at Ren Yuanzi who was standing next to him like a wooden man, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Since they know, why not just go to war? Let's use the death of our Yuan Sect disciples as an excuse to go to war with Dao Sect!"

"But……"

The Di Yuanzi people were dumbfounded. At this time, they should directly start a war? What the hell, the enemy's numbers could kill them, especially that madman. What if he came up with a sword? They would just hit him with his head?

"Hmph, don't worry. Starting a war is just to delay their attention. Since the plan in the Alien Demon Realm has failed, let's go to the Chaos Demon Sea. Haven't we been looking for the Thunder Emperor's Cave Mansion?"

"Thunder Emperor Cave Mansion?"

Di Yuanzi's eyes lit up involuntarily. This was indeed the case. They had been searching for the Thunder Emperor's Cave Mansion, wanting to control another ancestral talisman - the Thunder Ancestral Talisman. The Thunder Emperor Canon was something that the Demon Prison had given them in the early days, and it contained some clues.

Nowadays, there is almost a clue.

"You mean, we should draw all their attention to the East Xuan Territory, and then secretly release the Demon King who was suppressed by the Thunder Emperor?"

"That's right, if we can release it, our chances of winning will double!"
