Chapter 641: The Story Is Told, Now I'll Send You on Your Way

Among those present, only a handful of people weren't dumbfounded.

From sword cultivators to non-sword cultivators, none quite understood what exactly was going on.

Even those few with quick thinking who thought of certain possibilities only knew the what, not the why.

The only thing certain was that Yue Wushuang was not stupid.

He wasn't the pig teammate everyone initially thought he was, someone who would screw himself and his teammates over for a bit of ambition.

"Alliance Leader..."

That Void Refining cultivator from the Extermination Sword Alliance spoke up, looking at the black-robed masked figure.

"What is it?" The one who answered him wasn't the black-robed masked figure, but Yue Wushuang, and as Yue Wushuang spoke.

The Void Refining aura originally belonging to the black-robed masked figure faded, then his whole person began to turn illusory and transparent, shattering with a boom, and a sword, a sword that looked perfectly ordinary, appeared, falling into Yue Wushuang's hand.

"Separate Sword Intent!"

A sword cultivator nearby couldn't help but cry out in alarm; he had witnessed a similar scene before.

Many sword cultivators hadn't seen it, but had heard of it.

Once, in the cultivation world, there was a famous rogue cultivator who comprehended and cultivated a special Sword Intent, capable of turning his life-bound flying sword into an external incarnation that could act freely.

The external incarnation formed from the flying sword possessed an aura equivalent to the main body, with absolutely no flaws to speak of, and the power of the main body's all-out strike.

After that one strike, it became a mere hollow Void Spirit shell, needing time to re-condense its power.

This was an exceedingly rare and powerful Sword Intent; used well, it was like having two selves attacking together.

However, that sword cultivator strayed onto the wrong path, using his special Sword Intent to stir up trouble everywhere, and even offended the Seven Great Sects.

In the end, he died at the hands of Yue Wushuang, who wasn't a Divine Lord yet at the time.

That battle was also one of the more famous battles of Divine Lord Yue Wushuang.

Annihilation Sword Intent!

Incarnation Sword Intent!

Yue Wushuang, one person possessing two Sword Intents, no, he also had the unique, peerless Five Elements Sword Intent.

The situation was already clear.

"You aren't Five Elements Sword Intent."

Tu Tianfang, the Pavilion Master of Listening Rain Sword Pavilion, spoke up; he was the first person Tang Luo told to "be carried away, next one," and instead was the one with lighter injuries.

"Who told you this Venerable One is Five Elements Sword Intent?"

Yue Wushuang looked at Tu Tianfang, his tone arrogant, and simultaneously, he looked at Tang Luo, "You really deserve to die."

"???"

Tang Luo's expression was a bit strange; why did Yue Wushuang suddenly say this line?

"The only person qualified to stand by this Venerable One's side, to share joy and glory with this Venerable One, where is he?" Yue Wushuang looked at Tang Luo.

Tang Luo was still pierced through by the black sword essence emanating Annihilation intent.

The power of slaughter, death, and destruction continuously bombarded his body, plundering his life.

Making Tang Luo look very weak, even standing was barely manageable, very strenuous.

However, the expression on his face remained calm and composed, unperturbed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him: "You mean, Elder Mo?"

"Mo Li, where is he?" Yue Wushuang tacitly acknowledged it.

"So that's how it is..." The many sword cultivators instantly understood.

Elder Mo Li, an expert in Sword Intent studies; in the current cultivation world, if he claims his understanding of various Sword Intents is second, absolutely no one dares claim first.

Five Elements Sword Intent was precisely Elder Mo's research.

Speaking of it, Tang Luo's Hegemon Sword Intent was also finalized by this guy.

Tang Luo once thought he was a non-sword cultivator spy, which was why he would help himself, blindly hyping up some Hegemon Sword Intent.

To convince the masses.

Understood now; Elder Mo isn't a spy, his level is a tier higher than a spy.

He is truly Yue Wushuang's man; very clearly, Yue Wushuang didn't just deceive sword cultivators, but also deceived non-sword cultivators.

The only one who knows Yue Wushuang and is helping him achieve his great undertaking is Elder Mo.

The relationship between Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di, Elder Mo and Yue Wushuang are probably exactly that kind of relationship.

No wonder Yue Wushuang has killing intent toward Tang Luo.

During the Demon King's operation, Elder Mo went missing, and only Tang Luo returned; at that time, Tang Luo probably got onto Yue Wushuang's must-kill list.

"If Mo Li isn't dead, hand him over obediently, and I can let you suffer a bit less." Yue Wushuang said, "I can even grant you an early death."

"Seems like me not being dead right now is you showing mercy?" Tang Luo smiled.

"Otherwise? Although this Venerable One hasn't fully mastered Feng Xian's Annihilation Sword Intent, do you think just you can take it and not die?" Yue Wushuang said coldly.

Yue Wushuang is of course a sword cultivator, a standard, proper sword cultivator.

His Sword Intent is Devouring Sword Intent, devouring other sword cultivators' Sword Intents for his own use.

The so-called Five Elements Sword Intent was produced by him devouring step by step.

In the Shu Mountain Sword Sect battle, the death of True Person Feng Xian, there was never any Demon King; the ones who acted were Yue Wushuang and his external incarnation.

Under the sneak attack, True Person Feng Xian died, and his Annihilation Sword Intent was devoured by Yue Wushuang.

However, Yue Wushuang himself indeed suffered not-light injuries; True Person Feng Xian's counterattack wasn't so easy to take either.

Next, Yue Wushuang began healing his injuries.

Of the four Void Refiners of the Sky-Supporting Sword Gate, besides Venerable Lieyang, all fell victim to Yue Wushuang's poisonous hands, becoming his nourishment.

The current Yue Wushuang, his injuries haven't fully healed, but he is stronger than his past self.

Just True Person Feng Xian's Annihilation Sword Intent alone has raised his combat power another level.

Even if everyone present joined forces, they would not be his match—assuming they were uninjured.

At most, it would be the unexpected Chunyangzi, Tang Xuanzang, and those two Nascent Soul cultivators he personally trained, teaming up to cause him a little trouble.

Even with flying dragons riding on his face, Yue Wushuang still chose to let both sides fight until they were nearly exhausted before truly stepping out from behind the scenes.

Wealth and honor not returned to one's hometown is like walking in fine clothes at night.

Mo Li, the Mo Elder who could share joy and glory with Yue Wushuang, was imprisoned by Tang Luo, leaving Yue Wushuang one person short beside him.

For now, he can only boast in front of this group of defeated underlings, these dying men.

Yue Wushuang could never expose himself; he must become the leader of the Wushuang Alliance, then the sect master of the "Wushuang Gate" that unifies the world.

Being magnificent and imposing is necessary.

Tang Xuanzang and the leader of the Mie Jian Alliance are Yue Wushuang's designated scapegoats.

Only the deaths of these two heavyweight figures can highlight Yue Wushuang's greatness, turning the tide when the mansion is about to collapse.

Tang Luo's undercover identity must also be exposed, so that hatred can be fully stirred.

As Yue Wushuang's external incarnation, the leader of the Mie Jian Alliance must die cleanly and decisively.

Tang Xuanzang can then produce a half-dead, unable to move or speak "half-corpse" for various investigations and interrogations, finally using it to flag and quell anger.

Yes, after this battle, non-sword cultivators will certainly not collapse completely.

They were merely severely wounded by the Divine Lord Yue Wushuang.

Under the leadership of the Divine Lord, the Wushuang Alliance will hunt down non-sword cultivators and monsters, avenging the fallen sword cultivators.

Having a target brings motivation, which brings cohesion.

If there were no non-sword cultivators, what necessity would the Wushuang Alliance have for existence?

To prevent situations like Tang Xuanzang, this undercover agent who almost became the leader, from occurring again.

As the sole savior, is it problematic for Divine Lord Yue Wushuang to monopolize power? It is natural and just, reasonable and proper.

No one could possibly suspect Yue Wushuang.

He is absolutely a sword cultivator, and he is the one who reverses the decline—how could anyone suspect him?

"It seems I am still quite useful." Tang Luo said.

As a tool person, he has given his all; if everything holds true, then Li San'guang, the tool person dispatched for a certain crisis, would have to bow before "Tang Xuanzang."

"Alliance Leader..."

Yue Wushuang had not yet spoken, but on the non-sword cultivators' side, the remaining Nascent Soul sword cultivator could not help but speak.

His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of hope; he did not believe, he was unwilling to believe.

Among the sword cultivators present, very few belonged to the Qingtian Sword Sect—just one or two.

Members of other sects did not have deep feelings for Yue Wushuang; now, there is more anger.

Unlike the Mie Jian Alliance leader and Yue Wushuang, how much did he care for the non-sword cultivators? He gathered them like scattered sand, taught them concealment arts, pointed them toward the path, and bestowed upon them power.

Although he never revealed his true face, to many non-sword cultivators, the Alliance Leader was their pioneer, their guide.

These non-sword cultivators regarded the Alliance Leader as their father.

But now, that father tore open the veil of warmth, revealing a ferocious countenance.

"Trash, no wonder you sword cultivators have trampled us underfoot completely. For millions of years unable to turn over, rats in the gutter, a lifetime of such."

Yue Wushuang looked at that Nascent Soul cultivator, raised his hand, and swung his sword.

Five-colored sword light flashed, severing the cultivator's head—simple and effortless to the extreme.

Like reaching into a bag and taking something out.

The remaining non-sword cultivators had despair completely occupying their eyes.

They were merely pawns Yue Wushuang used to realize his ambition—when would a player develop feelings for his pawns?

Pawns are meant to be used; after use, they are either discarded or put away—just that simple.

Now, it is time to discard them.

"Any other problems?" Yue Wushuang held up that Nascent Soul cultivator's severed head, swept his gaze across the crowd, and asked.

He was enjoying the feeling of dominating the world, making everyone bow and kneel, lower their heads and submit.

Whether they were willing or not, they must kneel!

Kneel before Yue Wushuang!

This is the life Yue Wushuang wants.

Before cultivating immortality, he did not become an emperor of the mortal world; then, let him become the emperor of the cultivation world—unique, unprecedented, and unmatched emperor!

"The Venerable One Heart will not let you go." said a sword cultivator from the Cangjian Mountain Villa.

Feng Xian Zhenren died, but there is still Sword Maniac One Heart!

The sole hope of the cultivation world.

"Hmph." Yue Wushuang laughed, laughing heartily, as if he had been waiting for this question.

"One Heart, I have met him."

"I promised to guarantee that your Cangjian Dao lineage would not perish, to unite the three keys into one, allowing him to enter the Tiantian Sword Land again to pursue his sword path, and he agreed."

"……" The sword cultivator from the Cangjian Mountain Villa widened his eyes.

This would indeed be One Heart's choice.

Feng Xian Zhenren would become an obstacle to Yue Wushuang, so Feng Xian Zhenren must die.

But One Heart will not; what One Heart desires, Yue Wushuang can provide, and the way to remove obstacles is not only through killing.

The feeling of despair spread from the non-sword cultivators to the sword cultivators.

Yue Wushuang resolved another major obstacle without bloodshed.

The remaining elderly, weak, sick, and disabled Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects could no longer block Yue Wushuang's steps.

They witnessed the birth of a king, and also became stepping stones.

"I have a question too." Tang Luo raised his hand.

Yue Wushuang looked at Tang Luo, his brows furrowing slightly, imperceptibly.

This guy can actually still stand. As expected, if this son is not eliminated, he will surely become a major confidant trouble in the future.

"Where's Old Lei?" Tang Luo was asking about Lei Zhengyang.

"This idiot can't figure things out. When he figures it out, I'll let him out, or he simply won't come out at all." Yue Wushuang hmphed, a bit unhappy.

He had no killing intent whatsoever toward Lei Zhengyang.

Although only Mo Li was qualified to share his joy and glory, this disciple Lei Zhengyang was also raised by Yue Wushuang's own hand, a figure to be relied upon independently in the future.

Lei Zhengyang's Sword Intent of Thunder did indeed help Yue Wushuang a little, but that guy still hasn't figured it out yet.

So he was locked up by Yue Wushuang.

If he can't figure it out, Yue Wushuang doesn't mind letting Lei Zhengyang die in there.

At most, he'll just raise another one.

"Oh, I get it. I still have questions." As a listener, Tang Luo had watched the excitement for so long and developed no small interest.

Yue Wushuang was somewhat displeased.

Clearly, at a time like this, it should be a time for happiness and enjoyment.

Yet Tang Xuanzang's successive questions stirred up some annoyance.

I will "tell the tale leisurely," appreciating your surprised, horrified, despairing expressions — that is my enjoyment, and also a grace bestowed upon you to know the truth before death.

But that doesn't mean you can ask questions in succession.

The two situations are fundamentally different.

"Lord God Monarch! I am willing to submit, to pledge allegiance to you!"

Before Tang Luo could ask his question, a sword cultivator suddenly knelt and shouted.

The cultivators on that side also followed suit, kneeling several: "We are willing to continue following the Alliance Master, to exert the labor of dogs and horses, to serve for life!"

In terms of momentum, it was even stronger than the sword cultivators' side, what a pity they're willing to be dogs.

Even more of a pity, they don't even have the chance to be dogs.

Yue Wushuang waved his sword, a colorless sword light flashed, the corpses of those several cultivators fell: "You lot are unworthy."

"You guys, such poor judgment." Tang Luo spoke in an experienced tone, "He's already revealed his true face. Not a single person here will survive. Didn't Elder Mo Li also get sent to his death by him just the same? Ever heard of 'solitary and alone'?"

"Shut up! My arrangements, I already told Mo Li long ago!"

Yue Wushuang shouted sternly at Tang Luo. It seems he truly didn't treat Elder Mo as a chess piece.

It's just that a deviation occurred, which he also didn't want.

"Oh, even if there isn't one now, he'll definitely kill him later." Tang Luo said, Know Zhu Yuanzhang?

"Looks like Mo Li truly isn't dead. That's your reliance then?" Yue Wushuang sneered, "You think you can use Mo Li to threaten me?"

One who achieves great things does not fuss over trifles. When the critical moment comes, Mo Li's sacrifice is also acceptable.

After only Tang Xuanzang returned from the Myriad Demon Ridge, Yue Wushuang knew things had deviated, and had prepared for Mo Li's death.

"Reliance?"

Tang Luo also laughed, the same sneer as Yue Wushuang, "Who would rely on this kind of thing? If I relied on hostages, why would I still cultivate, why would I still kill enemies?"

"Alright, the story's heard. This poor monk will now send you on your way."

The Silent Annihilation Black Sword on his body instantly shattered. Tang Luo laughed, white hair fluttering up, his sect master robes turning into a blood-colored gold-patterned robe.

Red blood light spread out.

The surrounding Flowing Light Fleeting Shadow Sword Division Grand Array began to tremble.

Cracks appeared one after another on the light curtain.

On the other separated battlefields, many cultivators involuntarily stopped.

They felt that the sword array was about to shatter!

Not dispelled, but forcibly broken by someone!

Immense pressure permeated through the sword array, forcibly halting their battle.

"You!"

Yue Wushuang's face changed drastically. The aura belonging to the Void Refinement peak erupted simultaneously.

Behind him, hundreds of sword phantoms emerged, emitting various astonishing sword intents.

Guarding their Sword King.

"Heh."

Tang Luo chuckled lightly, raising his hand.

Flowing Light Fleeting Shadow Sword Division Grand Array, shattered!

A large number of cultivators fell to the ground, at a loss.

The entire Soaring Heaven Sword Gate's mountain gate began to tremble. In the sky, a giant hand seal emerged, pressing down.

Heaven Toppling!
