Chapter 39: Blood Demon Sect Leader Arrives

After Lin Yang finished setting up the Martial God Hall on Heaven Dao Peak,

He then took out the Nine Dragon Mystic Heaven Flag again.

That was a flag with nine sides, each engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon.

Ancient inscription aura flowed on it, obscure and hard to understand, yet it appeared extraordinarily remarkable.

He threw the nine-sided flag into the sky.

"Ao ao ao..."

After the dragon roars pierced the horizon, the nine dragons entered the mountain range surrounding Heaven Dao Peak; the range, nourished by dragon qi, became a spiritual vein, giving rise to the Taiji symbol, which resonated with the Eight Trigrams, together forming a great array that balanced the order of heaven and earth.

Thus, this great array naturally formed on Heaven Dao Peak, creating a great array capable of resisting a Great Emperor's attack, with various killing techniques spread throughout its interior.

Thus, Heaven Dao Peak is as solid as a rock.

No matter who comes, they will not return.

Having done all that,

Lin Yang then prepared to sleep peacefully.

But just then,

【Ding!】

【Detected that the eldest disciple Li Yilan gained insight in Sword Dao cultivation; congratulations, Host, you have obtained a large amount of Sword Intent return.】

Hearing this, Lin Yang was startled.

"It's so late; is Little Li still challenging?"

"I don't even know which level she's reached or which peak's Martial God Hall she's challenging."

What Lin Yang didn't know was that Li Yilan had just come out of the Body Tempering Peak, having inscribed on its fifth layer.

"By order of the Heaven Dao Peak Lord, Li Yilan has come here to visit."

After digesting the returned Sword Intent, Lin Yang prepared to sleep.

But just then,

【Ding!】

【Detected that the second disciple Ye Xiaozhi broke through to Qi Refining Layer 1; congratulations, Host, you have obtained cultivation return.】

Immediately, a clear stream entered his body.

"Heavens, how long has it been? He broke through so quickly!"

If he remembers correctly, Ye Xiaozhi's breakthrough speed is faster than Li Yilan's.

No wonder he's a disciple with orange-tier talent.

Indeed, he's quite formidable.

However, as your master, I like your fast breakthrough speed.

The more you break through, the more I will return.

Thus.

The system's return notifications echoed in Lin Yang's ears all night.

As a hint of fish-belly white brightened on the horizon, a red sun slowly rose.

【Ding!】

【Detected that the second disciple Ye Xiaozhi broke through to Qi Refining Layer 7; congratulations, Host, you have obtained cultivation return, reaching the Mid Great Sage realm.】

Hearing this, Lin Yang immediately woke from his sleep.

He did nothing and just slept the whole night.

Then, upon waking, he had broken through to Mid Great Sage?

"Is that even possible?"

Afterward, he looked at his system panel.

【Host: Lin Yang】

【Identity: Sword Saint】

【Cultivation: Mid Great Sage】

【Disciples: Li Yilan, Ye Xiaozhi】

【Physique: Perfect Saint Body (successfully fused Sword Dao Saint Body (Minor Accomplishment))】

【Special Skill Obtained: Old Six Halo】

【Treasure Obtained: Slay Immortal】

【Technique Obtained: One Sword Slay Immortal (Minor Accomplishment)】

【Cultivation Extreme Path Obtained: Ultimate Sword Dao】

Just as he marveled at his rapid progress,

Suddenly.

Azure Cloud Sect, in the sky.

More than ten figures in black attire appeared above the Azure Cloud Sect; most of their strength had reached the Minor Sage Realm, and even three of the black-clothed individuals had attained the terrifying Great Sage Realm.

They released a powerful aura that pressed down on the Azure Cloud Sect.

Boom!

The leading black-robed middle-aged man threw a punch.

Boom!

A mountain gate of the Azure Cloud Sect was directly blown to pieces, debris flying everywhere; several guarding disciples were instantly wiped out, a horrifying sight.

The black-robed man merely glanced coldly and said indifferently, "Hand over Lin Yang from the Azure Cloud Sect, or else my Blood Demon Sect will flatten it."

The arriving people were precisely the Blood Demon Sect Sect Master Li Kuang and over ten experts of the Blood Demon Sect.

"External enemies are attacking."

Hummm!

The Azure Cloud Sect's great bell tolled nine times.

Just like last night.

In an instant, the Azure Cloud Sect's entire elder council, the people of the six peaks, and some disciples all gathered toward the mountain gate.

Even the ancestors in seclusion were itching to act.

At this moment, everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect once again took up a defensive stance.

And the Blood Demon Sect Master Li Kuang was indeed wildly unrestrained.

Even though the Azure Cloud Sect's people appeared, he did not withdraw his oppressive power.

Simply because he wanted to avenge his son Li Xingtian.

Li Kuang had three sons.

The eldest was killed.

The second was also killed.

Now only the third son, Li Xingtian, remains; he dotes on him greatly.

Various magical treasures, secret techniques, and precious artifacts—whatever he asked for were all satisfied.

And Li Xingtian was no slouch either; at just over thirty years old he had cultivated to the late Lesser Saint realm, and in the future he was extremely likely to break through to the Great Saint realm.

He held great expectations for Li Xingtian.

He even prepared to pass the Blood Demon Sect on to him as an inheritance.

Who would have thought, his precious son was actually killed by Lin Yang of the Azure Cloud Sect.

His thirty years of effort were all for naught.

Naturally, he would not let it rest.

Hum!

The Azure Cloud Sect's Grand Elder, together with the sect's elders, transformed into a streak of light that shot into the sky, standing on equal footing with Li Kuang.

Now that the sect master is absent, he, the Grand Elder, must shoulder the great responsibility.

He looked at the Blood Demon Sect Master and asked, "Li Kuang, what brings you to our Azure Cloud Sect with such a show of force?"

"Hmph!"

Li Kuang gave a cold snort and said, "Mao Ping, stop putting on airs here; your Azure Cloud Sect's Heavenly Dao Peak Master Lin Yang killed my son Li Xingtian—hand him over quickly."

Upon hearing this.

Mao Ping was stunned, indicating he didn't know.

The elders also exchanged bewildered glances, indicating they didn't know.

After all, last night Lin Yang had just brought his divine disciple to test spirits.

Where did the claim come from that he killed the Blood Demon Sect's junior sect master?

They simply had no idea.

However, no matter how one puts it, the Azure Cloud Sect is a major power in Qingzhou; how could we allow the Blood Demon Sect to act so arrogantly?

The Grand Elder gave a cold snort and said, "Li Kuang, don't distort the facts here; our Heavenly Dao Peak Master Lin Yang is merely at the Nascent Soul realm—how could he kill your son?"

"Moreover, as I understand it, the Heavenly Dao Peak Master Lin Yang has always favored peace, is approachable and kind; you must be mistaken—he would never kill anyone."

Although he didn't know whether this matter was done by Lin Yang.

But he had promised Lu Wuqing that he would look after Lin Yang, and thus would bear all the pressure for him.

Upon hearing this explanation, Li Kuang couldn't help but burst into wild laughter; they were obviously trying to brush it off with such an excuse.

He gave a cold snort and said, "Mao Ping, I know you handle affairs with smooth deceit, trying to get past this with such an excuse; unfortunately, I have used supreme means to deduce the scene of my son's killing."

Immediately.

Li Kuang released a mass of spiritual power, and the scene of Lin Yang killing the Blood Demon appeared before the Azure Cloud Sect's crowd.

Such an image clearly displayed the scene of Lin Yang killing Li Xingtian.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder and the Azure Cloud Sect's elders all showed a hint of guilt and a hint of disbelief on their faces.

Lin Yang almost killed Li Xingtian with a single finger.

You know, Li Xingtian was at the late Lesser Saint realm.

And in their memory, Lin Yang was only at the Nascent Soul realm.

This is utterly inconceivable.

The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes.

Lin Yang's sudden emergence from nowhere.

The two disciples' heaven-defying talents are undoubtedly the key to the Azure Cloud Sect's strength.

He had made the resolve to protect Lin Yang at all costs.
