the Longevity Technique indeed was a miraculous cultivation technique, allowing him to improve yet again in just a short period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the yellowing scroll, Lin Xuan referred to the map to search for the marked location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the record within this scroll, the Wind Shadow Sword was located in a tomb; and this tomb belonged to a Spirit Communication Realm expert known as the Evil King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thirty-second mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan looked towards the mountains, then after stowing away the scroll, he lightly patted Little Gold and his figure turned into a residual shadow, dashing towards that peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Cloud Mountain Range was vast with a lush forest; within it, birds and beasts howled, bursting with vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the mountains, a group of martial artists with stable strides were advancing quickly toward that thirty-second peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people all had dark red evil qi surrounding them with fierce expressions on their faces—it was clear they were not benevolent sorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Master, is there really treasure here?” a few martial artists asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No mistake, I have taken a long time to investigate this news; there must be peerless treasures here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I obtain these treasures, I won’t be some Second Master anymore—I will be the true leader of the Black Tiger Gang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all are the meritorious supporters; once I become the gang leader, I will properly reward you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, boss!” the group of martial artists were excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one leading was a middle-aged big man with brownish-yellow hair that was quite disheveled, and a cross-shaped scar on his face that was intimidating to look upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This middle-aged big man radiated an aura that had reached the peak of the Spirit Fusion Realm, which was indeed very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artists following him were also at the cultivation of the Spirit Fusion Realm, with not a single weakling among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a group was also in search of the Evil King Tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, what exactly is in that Evil King Tomb?” a young martial artist asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man turned back and looked, “You’ve just broken through to the Spirit Fusion Realm; it’s normal not to know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil King Yu Xiangchuan was quite famous back in the day in Dragon Star Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He acted regardless of right or wrong, purely on personal preference, which offended many forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, his cultivation was exceptionally high, and by the Late Stage of the Spirit Communication Realm, even ordinary forces within Dragon Star Country couldn’t do anything to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, some top-notch experts from leading forces made a move to encircle him, but in the end, he managed to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after that battle, he also suffered heavy injuries and subsequently fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors had it that he possessed the four absolute skills—Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon—and after his death, these four skills were also buried in his tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were treasures that would even make Spirit Communication Realm experts envious!\u003C\u002Fp>",1475,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.018Z",1,"novelbin.me","fce900657d7e658b8cd46cf71a5e0db92a289fd43e36e64c58f5aea76c35dd50","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-404","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-402",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
