Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 216 Coming for the Extermination of the Slaughtering Clan
With Master Yinshan's departure, the tense atmosphere inside Zhanlong Pass eased considerably, and the Xuan Tie Sword Master, who had come as reinforcements, was treated with great courtesy.

The True Person named Xuan Tie Sword Master was not handsome and rather ordinary-looking. After restraining his sword intent, he didn't even have much of the sharpness of a sword cultivator. At first glance, he seemed to be just an old farmer. Only the black iron longsword at his waist faintly revealed a sharpness that made a Foundation Establishment True Person's heart tremble.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Tie!"

The Five Elements True Man was the first to step forward, excitedly saying, "Fortunately, fellow Daoist arrived in time, otherwise the Dragon-Slaying Pass would probably have been breached by the Demonic Sect today."

After saying that, he glanced again at the long sword at the waist of the Xuan Tie Sword Master.

"Mysterious gold, mysterious silver, mysterious iron—the more ordinary the material, the sharper the sword intent. The Mysterious Iron Sword truly deserves to be the foremost of the three great mysterious swords of the Upper Mysterious Sword Sect."

"That's ridiculous."

Upon hearing this, the Master of the Xuan Tie Sword waved his hand, but he seemed quite pleased with himself. After all, everyone loves to hear compliments, especially since he believed his contribution was indeed significant.

At the same time, Zhong Xin also came over, smiling as he said, "When I learned that the Demonic Sect was heading south, I immediately sent a letter to the Shangxuan Sword Sect for help. I originally thought it would take more time, but thanks to the Xuan Tie Sword Master's profound cultivation and incredibly fast sword escape, we were finally able to turn the tide."

"Please come in quickly. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you all."

Seeing this, the Sword Master of Xuan Tie naturally didn't stand on ceremony and followed Zhong Xin. The Foundation Establishment True Persons entered the hall, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"The leader we encountered outside the city earlier, was that Yuan Tu?"

The master of Xuan Tie Sword had sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "After Junior Brother Xuan Jin returned, he told me about this person. I saw that his sword heart wavered, and he was harmed by this person."

"It's a pity that this person retreated on his own initiative and never fought me."

“Otherwise, I should wield the Xuan Tie Sword and cut him down on the battlefield. That way, when Junior Brother Xuan Jin finds out, his wavering sword heart should be able to recover.”

At this point, the Master of the Xuan Tie Sword sighed again, seemingly with great regret.

Then he saw that the once lively banquet had suddenly become quiet, and Duobao Tongzi and the others were staring at him intently.

what happened?
“Fellow Daoist, you are unaware of this,” the Five Elements True Man sighed and said, “The person outside just now was not that ferocious demon, but merely someone who was traveling with him.”

"Speaking of that fiend, I suspect he's a direct descendant of a True Lord from some clan, here to gain prestige. That's why I went to great lengths to investigate him after his defeat." With that, the Five Elements True Man took out a jade slip: "The result was surprising; once I started investigating, I even suspect he's a True Lord reincarnated!"

"Fellow Daoist, do you know how old that ferocious demon is?"

Upon hearing this, the Master of the Xuan Tie Sword was taken aback, and then cautiously asked, "I heard the Master of the Xuan Jin Sword say that he is at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Could it be that this person has just reincarnated a second time?"

He felt that his guess was already quite bold.

You should know that ordinary cultivators need to establish their foundation within a hundred years, condense their innate divine power, and search for the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. In the blink of an eye, their first life has passed.

To achieve the mid-stage Foundation Establishment in one's first life is already a testament to one's exceptional talent, let alone reaching the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment and possessing two innate divine abilities. To cultivate to such a level, one should have reincarnated at least once. For example, the sect leader of the Upper Profound Sword Sect was already in his late third life.

Unexpectedly, the Five Elements Master shook his head upon hearing this:
"Reincarnated? As far as I know, that fiend has only cultivated for a hundred years! Let alone reincarnation, he hasn't even lived half of his first life!"

Upon hearing this, the Master of the Xuan Tie Sword was instantly speechless.

Mid-stage of a century-long foundation-building process? Or has it reached its peak?
What a joke!
After a long while, he exhaled deeply and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing to cultivate quickly. If you cultivate too quickly, your foundation will be unstable, and your supernatural abilities will likely not be very high."

As he spoke, the master of the Xuan Tie Sword himself shut his mouth.

After all, he had heard the Xuanjin Sword Master mention that the other party had killed the Fishing Dragon Elder, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, right under everyone's noses.

No matter how you look at it, this is considered to be a high level of supernatural power.

"So what if you have supernatural powers?"

The Xuan Tie Sword Master gripped the Xuan Tie Sword at his waist tightly: "We sword cultivators have always roamed the world with our swords. If he were in front of me, I would still kill him with a single sword strike!"

At this point, a hint of pride appeared in the eyes of the Xuan Tie Sword Master: "This Xuan Tie Sword of mine was bestowed upon me by the Jiangnan Sword Pavilion. It is not only a superior spiritual treasure, but it also contains a divine technique called [Barrier Breaking], which can cut through all obstacles. No matter how many supernatural powers it possesses, I can break through them with a single sword strike!"

"puff!"

The boy next to him, Duobao, suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter. Seeing this, the Xuan Tie Sword Master glared at him and said coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down."

The Five Elements True Man quickly stepped forward and grabbed the owner of the Xuan Tie Sword, whispering, "The Xuan Tie Sword is indeed sharp, but that evil demon has an even more powerful spiritual treasure in his hands!"

“I saw it clearly at the time. He had at least three superior spiritual treasures on him, including two magic swords. One of them should have three kinds of divine power, and the other should have one kind. In addition, he also had a protective spiritual treasure. He probably had other methods, but he just didn’t use them.”

The more the Xuan Tie Sword Master listened, the more speechless he became.

Three wondrous magic swords? At least three superior spiritual treasures?

Thinking of this, he glanced again at the mysterious black iron sword that he had treasured for so many years, and a surge of resentment welled up in his heart. "Damn second-generation immortal!"

The Xuan Tie Sword Master gritted his teeth: "For us sword cultivators, the sword is merely an external object. The key lies in comprehending the sword intent! This is something these second-generation immortals will never understand!"

"Fellow Daoist is wrong again."

The Five Elements Master sighed, "According to my investigation, this person has no background. He has achieved what he has today entirely through his talent and hard work."

Xuan Tie Sword Master: "."

There's no way to respond to that.

Just then, Zhong Xin, who was seated at the head of the table, finally spoke: "That being said, this person is ultimately not at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and we still have ways to deal with him."

"Excellent!" Upon hearing this, the Xuan Tie Sword Master finally perked up: "With the help of the Sword Pavilion, our sect leader has recently found the third Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend. He is currently in seclusion, preparing to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, no matter how talented he is, he will not be able to withstand the sect leader's sword!"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed signs of excitement.

Only Zhong Xin remained cautious, whispering, "With Fellow Daoist Xuan Tie arriving to reinforce us, isn't the Shangxuan Sword Sect now completely vulnerable? Will our defenses be alright?"

"Rest assured, Your Excellency!"

The Master of the Xuan Tie Sword said confidently, "Xuan Jin and Xuan Yin, two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, are still in the mountains. These petty villains are not worth mentioning."

"What danger could there be?"

"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, the Five Elements Master suddenly frowned: "This time, the ferocious demon did not appear. Could it have secretly gone to your sect's mountain gate?"

"After all, the other side should also be aware of the threat posed by Fellow Daoist Shangxuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xuan Tie Sword Master's expression changed drastically.

However, another voice quickly followed: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Everyone looked over in response.

It was none other than Duobao Tongzi.

"Don't forget, everyone, the Dragon-Slaying Pass is still here!" said Duobao Tongzi confidently. "With the Dragon-Slaying Pass blocking spiritual energy, no one can break through the void and cross the border."

"And traveling by stealth light would make it even more impossible for them to hide from us."

"Even if we take a step back and assume that the formation was damaged because of the demon's attack on the city, allowing that ferocious demon to get through, unless we can directly destroy the Shangxuan Sword Sect and prevent them from sending out any news, wouldn't he become a sitting duck if we went to provide support?"

"Think about it, everyone, can he do it? Does he dare to do it?"

"The sect leader of the Shangxuan Sword Sect is at least at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. How could someone with the same cultivation level as that ferocious demon be unable to send out any messages after being attacked?"

"This"

Duobao Tongzi's reasoning was so logical and convincing that even the Five Elements True Man, who had just raised the question, realized that he had been worrying unnecessarily.

【Qing Kingdom】, Xuanjian Mountain.

As the name suggests, this place is the mountain gate of the Shangxuan Sword Sect. Because the mountain shape resembles a sharp sword that pierces the sky, it was named Xuanjian Mountain.

The founder of the Shangxuan Sword Sect valued the excellent feng shui and outstanding people of this place, which is why he established the sect here. He hoped that future generations of disciples would use this as a foundation to cultivate a vein in the mountains. With the support of this vein, the foundation of the Shangxuan Sword Sect would be secure.

Just like the old witchcraft.

A thousand years ago, the Witch Ghost Path possessed the eight-hundred-mile-long Skull Mountain ley line. Even True Monarchs hesitated to take action, demonstrating the importance of ley lines to a powerful force.

Fortunately, this place does not seem to have any ley lines.

At the foot of Xuanjian Mountain, a handsome young man dressed in white, wearing a black cloak with flowing sleeves, was casually surveying the mountain scenery.

"Stop!"

Only when the young man arrived at the mountain gate did two disciples of the Shangxuan Sword Sect emerge in their escape light and stop him, asking him with cold expressions:

Who are you? What brings you here?

"My name is Lü Yang. Please announce my arrival." Lü Yang cupped his hands in a respectful manner and smiled, "I have come here to exterminate the Tu Sect."
