Chapter 1005

Call for help immediately! We can't match these two!

Upon hearing this, the Liu Clan members watching the battle not far away also grew somewhat panicked.

These two sword cultivators are just too strong!

Attack from below!

They immediately activated the sound-transmitting jade slip, using a supreme secret technique to send a message.

Just then, Xiao Liang and Xiaoyaozi strode forward, almost killing with every sword strike.

A Two-Star Inquiry Dao Realm cultivator is no match at all!

Boom—boom—boom!

Above the Void, several corpses fell down.

Not far away, the remaining Liu Clan elder immediately abandoned the captives he had seized, tore open the Void, and prepared to flee.

Crack!

The Void cracked open, and spatial patterns surged.

But it was useless!

The Wine Wanderer Spirit Sword flashed like lightning, a blade of light slicing between heaven and earth, and plunged straight into the rift in the Void.

Pfft—pfft—pfft!

Blood spattered!

All the Liu Clan members present were wiped out.

At that moment, a voice sounded in Xiaoyaozi's ear: "Fellow Daoist, save me—I am also a member of the Heaven-Burying Alliance. Elder Chen Liang once mentioned the two of you in our presence."

Xiaoyaozi frowned slightly.

The voice continued, "One of you is 'Bu Bai,' the other is 'Meng,' am I right?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyaozi flicked his sleeve.

Swish!

A sword qi shot out, directly destroying the seal restriction set up by the Liu Clan.

Everyone bowed respectfully to Xiaoyaozi and Xiao Liang, saying, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your assistance."

Xiaoyaozi nodded lightly.

The crowd scattered and fled.

A long-robed old man hidden in the crowd, also fleeing this realm, continued sending a message to Xiaoyaozi: "You two, Elder Chen Liang once told me about you. The Liu Clan will likely issue a kill order, so you had better hide quickly."

You killed Liu Clan members, so you'll definitely be seen as members of the Heaven-Burying Alliance!

Xiaoyaozi nodded, "I understand."

Soon, the cultivators here scattered like startled birds, fleeing in all directions, leaving only Xiaoyaozi and Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang asked, "Do you have a countermeasure?"

Know that the Liu Clan and Azure Mountain Sect are both lackeys of Sun Yuan!

Among them are experts of the Six-Star Inquiry Dao Realm and Seven-Star Inquiry Dao Realm!

They have also witnessed the style of the Heaven-Burying Alliance.

Stability first!

They won't fight Sun Yuan and his ilk to the death; of course, their strength doesn't allow it either.

So their situation is now very dangerous.

Xiaoyaozi said, "My Sword Dao resonates with the Swift Wind Sword Dao—I can borrow its power!"

Xiao Liang said, "This is one of our few trump cards."

He gripped the Wine Wanderer in his hand; the sword still bore several seals of Venerable Lord Lu that remained unsealed, and he wondered how much power would erupt once they were undone.

Xiaoyaozi pointed in a direction and said, "I sense the Swift Wind Sword Intent ahead, as if some unseen force is guiding me forward."

Xiao Liang said, "Go! That's the direction!"

The two crossed the Void, contemplating the Swift Wind Sword Intent as they headed toward the depths of the secret realm.

Half a day after they left, several terrifying auras descended upon this place.

They were Liu Clan members.

Liu Zong stared at the numerous Liu family corpses on the ground, his face turning icy cold, "Excellent! Very good! Before this secret realm has been open for long, the Heaven-Burying Alliance has actually shown itself!"

Liu Zong waved his hand, a ripple appeared between heaven and earth; extremely brilliant spirit patterns fluttered like fireflies.

Several faint threads floated up from the corpses on the ground.

Liu Zong's hand seal shifted, extremely intricate and obscure; these threads suddenly seemed to come alive, turning into swimming worms that shot toward the direction where Xiao Yao Zi and Xiao A Liang had just left.

"This is the direction!"

Liu Zong's face turned deathly pale, he gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately contact the rest of my Liu family and the elders of the Green Mountain Sect; intercept and kill these two along the way. As long as we capture them, we can find all Heaven-Burying Alliance members here! Also, report this to Lord Sun Yuan!"

His voice fell.

Several elders all said, "Yes, sir!"

Their figures shot out in all directions.

On the other side, Lu Xuan led Tie Xiao Qing and his sister, strolling leisurely through the void.

Above his head shone the stars, moon, and constellations; beneath his feet lay mountains and rivers.

Tie Xing Qiong felt extremely astonished, "The methods of this Dao Yuan Realm senior are truly terrifying; after his fall, his sword qi actually evolved into such a world."

Tie Xiao Qing pouted, "Compared to Lord Lu, we're still off by a hundred and eight thousand miles."

Tie Xing Qiong said, "That's natural. But it's already the height I look up to."

Lu Xuan didn't speak; he activated his Insight with a glance, and all the seals and restrictions in this place were fully perceived in his mind, as if they were nothing.

However, Lu Xuan also felt impressed; Gongyang Yuxiao's layout was indeed not bad.

It is unknown whether Gongyang Yuxiao discovered the World Tree Dao Patterns existing here; all his arrangements were subtly protecting the Dao Patterns.

This realm was built upon the World Tree Dao Patterns, while the Sword Tomb was merely a facade.

The countless mountains and rivers formed from sword Qi, as well as the perilous places, were all meant to mislead those who entered this realm.

Only those who truly discern the truth are the "fated ones" spoken of by Gongyang Yuxiao.

As the distance to the inheritance site drew nearer, the aura of the Dao Source Fruit grew richer, and the Swift Wind Sword Intent became ever sharper.

"How fragrant."

Tie Xiaoqing rubbed her nose, sniffing around.

That was an alluring scent, like a ripe peach, making one unable to restrain oneself, with the urge to devour it.

Lu Xuan said lightly, "That is the Dao Source Fruit. What you smell is the Dao Resonance."

Tie Xiaoqing suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."

She looked around, and suddenly realized that the heaven and earth here had abruptly changed.

Strands of sword Qi took the form of streams, being both swift wind and flowing water, exquisitely mysterious.

She felt they were amidst the starry sky, yet also felt they were not.

Here it seemed calm and windless.

But she knew this was the Supreme Master Lu's heaven-reaching means; otherwise, a single misstep here would be strangled by sword Qi.

Soon.

Lu Xuan halted before a grand heavenly momentum.

Here three mountains stood triply, encircling a hidden valley that emitted a heart-pounding coercive force, like a vast abyssal maw devouring the heavens.

The hidden valley's true form was completely obscured, like a giant eyelid drooping; should it ever open, it would unleash boundless killing intent!

Tie Xiaoqing and the other felt an inexplicable palpitation.

Here there was both the temptation of the Dao Source Fruit and a terrifying killing intent constantly hanging overhead; even beside Lu Xuan, they felt their limbs turn icy cold.

Lu Xuan's Insight swept downward, soon perceiving the full appearance of the three mountains standing triply.

There lay an extremely obscure World Tree Dao Pattern, now manifested as countless intertwined roots, tangled and knotted, as still as death.

Countless ages have passed; ordinary people could never discover its profundity.

Within the hidden valley hung a palm-sized fruit, radiant with flowing light, exuding a rich Dao Resonance, profoundly mysterious.

Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly, "Now I understand."

This hidden valley is also an illusion, formed from the transformation of a Dao Origin Stage Spirit Sword.

Its true form lay silently at the center of the World Tree Dao Patterns, with a trace of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable's obsession lingering faintly.

When Lu Xuan gazed upon the hidden valley, the hidden valley also gazed upon him.

The obsession of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable could no longer be contained, asking, "Who exactly are you, divine being?"
