Chapter 3284: Deep in the Vastness, the Chixiao Lineage of the Sword Clan

The Vastness starry sky was vast and endless.

The so-called four Vastness regions of East, West, South, and North were just four areas in the four directions of the Vastness starry sky.

Of course, even these four areas were infinitely vast.

And deep in the Vastness starry sky, it was even more vast and endless, with ten thousand realms standing tall.

Not only were there the Ten Hegemonic Clans, occupying various areas of the Vastness starry sky,

but there was also the Heavenly Court, overlooking the Vastness, considered the orthodoxy of the Vastness.

And in the Vastness starry sky, in an area where many great realms were connected,

here, realms stood tall, and between each other, there were great powerhouses who constructed spatial wormholes to facilitate travel between realms.

Almost every realm had vast sword Qi spraying out.

From time to time, gleaming sword beams would be slashed out from the depths of the realm, casually shattering the massive stars beyond the sky.

This large area of standing true realms all belonged to one faction.

That was, the Sword Clan!

As one of the Ten Hegemonic Clans of the Vastness starry sky,

the area ruled by the Sword Clan was not just one or a few true realms.

For a hegemonic clan like the Sword Clan, its sphere of influence was extremely vast.

Commanding various true realms, none dared to disobey.

True realms connected by large spatial wormholes like this all belonged to the Sword Clan's sphere of influence.

This could also be called a territory.

A territory was the ruling scope of a hegemonic faction.

Including the Ten Hegemonic Clans, and even factions like the Nine Great Palaces of the Heavenly Court, all had their own territory areas.

No other faction could easily invade.

Even in some situations,

when some hegemonic clans had friction with each other and engaged in gambling battles, they would use the true realms in their territory as stakes.

A casual bet could cause a vast true realm to change hands.

This was the spirit and scale of those high-and-mighty hegemonic factions.

And the size of the territory also determined the richness of resources and the strength of the faction.

The Sword Clan, as one of the Ten Hegemonic Clans, naturally had a territory that was not small.

And at this moment, in the core area of the Sword Clan's territory, within a certain ancient realm.

This realm had brilliant sword Qi shooting into the sky.

Even just being near it, one could feel the sword Dao essence within.

This realm was named the Chixiao Ancient Realm.

It was the Dao field where a supreme powerhouse of the Sword Clan, the Chixiao Sword Emperor, resided.

The Sword Clan was not like the Yun Clan, which was a hegemonic clan connected by family bloodlines.

It was more like the Ancestral Dragon Clan, with different sword Dao schools, inheritances, and lineages.

The relationship was more like a master-disciple relationship than a family relationship.

This was also the reason why the Sword Clan could become the holy land for sword cultivators in the Vastness starry sky.

Because any sword cultivator with talent and strength had the qualifications to join the various lineages of the Sword Clan and become a member of the Sword Clan.

It could even be said that if Jun Xiaoyao hadn't killed Xu Changtian,

with his sword Dao cultivation, joining a certain lineage of the Sword Clan would have been more than enough.

He might even have been courted by the Sword Clan.

At this moment, deep within the Chixiao Ancient Realm,

on an ancient peak towering like a heavenly sword,

a sound of fury was emitted.

"What? Xu Changtian is dead?!"

On the ancient peak, inside a magnificent and boundless ancient palace surrounded by divine rays,

an old man in red robes was extremely furious.

"Xu Changtian is one of the Thirteen Sword Children of my Sword Clan. Even if he wasn't a match for that Jun Xiaoyao's Chaos Body, he shouldn't have fallen."

"The news came from the Profound Heaven Sword Sect. Xu Changtian has indeed fallen, and moreover..."

Below, a middle-aged man hesitated.

"And what?" the old man in red robes said.

"And he was killed in one strike."

"What!"

The old man in red robes stood up abruptly, terrifying beams of light blooming from his red pupils, like heavenly swords, making the void tremble.

"You say that King Xiaoyao defeated Xu Changtian with sword Dao?"

The old man in red robes felt inexplicably absurd.

Who exactly was the Xukong Xukong Jianzi of the Sword Clan?

But clearly, using a sword to defeat a Xukong Xukong Jianzi of the Sword Clan was definitely a provocation from Jun Xiaoyao.

"Elder Chiming, this is definitely a provocation from that King Xiaoyao. Our Chixiao lineage must not turn a blind eye," the middle-aged man below said.

The Chixiao Sword Emperor was a supreme powerhouse in the Sword Clan.

And this lineage of theirs was the Chixiao lineage of the Sword Clan.

Xu Changtian was the Xukong Xukong Jianzi of the Chixiao lineage, bearing the Nine Yang Sword Veins, and was highly valued by this lineage.

However, Xu Changtian had only gone out for training and to complete a mission to kill a Quasi-Emperor.

Who would have thought he would encounter a death tribulation?

This was something Elder Chiming had never expected.

"And it's not just Xu Changtian and his group who have fallen."

"News even came that the Endless Sword Domain was wiped out by the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty's army," the middle-aged man said.

Elder Chiming's fire-red eyebrows furrowed.

The founder of that lineage of the Endless Sword Domain once had a past with the Chixiao Sword Emperor and owed him a favor.

That was why Ling Tianxiong had the Sword Order of the Chixiao lineage, which could allow the Chixiao lineage to help him unconditionally once.

And Elder Chiming had already been cautious enough.

Upon learning that Jun Xiaoyao was a Chaos Body, he did not agree to Ling Tianxiong's request to kill Jun Xiaoyao.

However, he did agree to kill Ye Guchen.

Who would have thought that the loss would be so great?

"This move, it seems we have walked the wrong path," Elder Chiming frowned deeply.

Originally, he was extremely furious, but now, he instead began to ponder.

That King Xiaoyao was actually so unscrupulous, directly killing a Xukong Xukong Jianzi of the Sword Clan.

What did this explain?

It explained that he had no scruples.

And just a Tianyu Immortal Dynasty alone could not make him ignore the Sword Clan.

"Could it be..."

Elder Chiming's expression was solemn.

"Elder, do we need to inform Lord Chixiao about this..." the middle-aged man said.

"No need. Although this matter is not small, for Lord Chixiao, it is just a trivial matter," Elder Chiming said.

The Chixiao Sword Emperor was a supreme powerhouse of the Sword Clan lineage.

Just like the Jin Wu Xuan Emperor of the Jin Wu Ancient Clan.

Such existences would be in seclusion for immeasurable years.

Unless something truly big and important happened, they generally wouldn't come out of seclusion.

Let alone walk the human world at will.

"But, do we just do nothing? This is not only a loss for our Chixiao lineage, but it also affects the prestige of the Sword Clan."

The middle-aged man felt unwilling.

"The origin of that King Xiaoyao is a bit strange. Just being a King of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty is not enough to be so rampant."

"If we take action rashly, it might bring big trouble to our clan."

"What?" The middle-aged man was shocked upon hearing this.

He didn't know more about Jun Xiaoyao.

In his view, their Sword Clan in the Vastness starry sky didn't need to have any scruples.

And Elder Chiming actually said that Jun Xiaoyao might bring trouble to the Sword Clan.

"Don't forget the lessons of the past," Elder Chiming said.

The middle-aged man's heart tightened.

He knew that Elder Chiming was referring to the fact that even a Sword Clan as strong as theirs had once suffered a setback.

Once, a person, holding a sword, descended upon the Sword Clan and challenged several supreme Sword Emperors of the Sword Clan.

In the end, they were all defeated by him.

That could be called a dark history that the Sword Clan never wanted to mention.

And most importantly,

that person... was surnamed Jun! ===== CHAPTER 3285 =====
