Chapter 1696

Seeing this, Ximen Wudi's lips curled into a wry smile.

His gaze swept the surroundings and discovered a hidden base of this Tianjian Sect Sect Master.

It was a dungeon.

At this moment, the Tianjian Sect Sect Master sat here, staring at Ximen Wudi with a cold expression, icy glimmers flashing in his eyes.

"I'll kill you!"

The Sect Master stepped forward and appeared before Ximen Wudi, unleashing a devastating punch.

A terrifying punch slammed into Ximen Wudi's face.

But it was blocked by a formidable force.

The Sect Master recoiled repeatedly, his expression filled with humiliation.

"Tianjian's Edge!"

Ximen Wudi activated the Sword Seed within his body once more.

Instantly, the terrifying sword light erupted again, blasting toward the Sect Master.

Facing the deadly sword light, the Sect Master unleashed another defensive sword technique, trying to block this devastating strike.

Boom!

A dull sound rang out as his arm was ripped apart, blood gushing freely.

His face paled, he staggered backward, staring at Ximen Wudi in shock.

"Who are you? How do you know Tianjian Sect's most terrifying technique? And how do you wield such bizarre martial arts?!"

The Sect Master regarded Ximen Wudi with solemn eyes.

"I am Ximen Wudi. Not only do I understand Tianjian Sect's most terrifying sword technique, but I also possess a Sword Heart beyond ordinary comprehension!"

Ximen Wudi smiled.

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, the Sect Master trembled, his pupils contracting.

His eyes glowed with unusual light as he stared at Ximen Wudi.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have flowers on my face?"

Ximen Wudi touched his cheek and looked at the Sect Master.

"No, you don't have flowers on your face—you're just too brilliant. Seeing you like this gives me a sense of danger!"

The Sect Master fixed his gaze on Ximen Wudi.

His expression was solemn, his eyes filled with wariness.

"Heh, Sect Master, you're truly mistaken—I have no intention of seizing your position!"

Ximen Wudi chuckled.

"Then why are you doing this?"

"Although Tianjian Sect is not among the top forces on the Nine Continents, we are still a Xiaozong Sect—not as weak as some other factions!"

The Tianjian Sect Sect Master stared at Ximen Wudi.

"Because your current Sect Master wants to rebel and usurp the throne—is such a trash worthy of being your Tianjian Sect Sect Master?"

"I think you should replace him!"

Ximen Wudi sneered at the Sect Master.

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, the Tianjian Sect Sect Master's face darkened, cold light flickering in his eyes, a sharp aura radiating from his body.

Vast waves of murderous energy surged around him as he glared coldly at Ximen Wudi.

"Fine, I accept your terms—I will relinquish my position as Tianjian Sect Sect Master!"

"But you must tell me your origins and your purpose in coming to our Tianjian Sect!"

The Tianjian Sect Sect Master glared coldly at Ximen Wudi.

"I'm here to find a girl named Li Xuefei—she's been captured!"

Ximen Wudi said.

"Xuefei? Do you know her?"

Upon hearing the name Xuefei,

the Tianjian Sect Sect Master frowned, his eyes filled with doubt as he stared at Ximen Wudi.

"Of course I know her—she's my disciple, and we're extremely close!"

Ximen Wudi said.

"So you're the bastard who killed my son and crippled my Sun Zi?"

"You came here to avenge Xuefei?"

The Tianjian Sect Sect Master's eyes flashed with icy coldness as he stared at Ximen Wudi, his voice freezing.

"You're smart enough to know the answer without asking."

"Aside from this reason, I truly don't believe you'd be foolish enough to help me!"

Ximen Wudi snorted.

"If that's the case, then you can die!"

The Tianjian Sect Sect Master waved his hand, ready to strike.

"Wait!"

"I'll give you a chance—you can become the Sect Master, but you must swear you won't harm Xuefei once you take the position."

Ximen Wudi said.

"No!"

"I only need you to die!"

The Tianjian Sect Sect leader said coldly.

"If I die, the Tianjian Sect Sect will surely perish!"

Ximen Wudi's eyes narrowed.

"When you're dead, this Tianjian Sect Sect will be destroyed!"

"As for Xue Fei, you can't take her away either!"

"But…"

"What if I'm willing to cooperate with you?"

"I can help you become the supreme being in the Jiuxiao Divine Realm!"

Ximen Wudi watched as the Tianjian Sect Sect leader spoke.

"You can really make me the supreme being in the Jiuxiao Divine Realm?"

The Tianjian Sect Sect leader's expression changed, staring at Ximen Wudi in shock.

"I can make you the supreme being in the Jiuxiao Divine Realm!"

Ximen Wudi spoke again.

"Fine, if that's the case, then come with me!"

The Tianjian Sect Sect leader turned and walked into the Tianjian Sect Sect.

Ximen Wudi watched the back of the Tianjian Sect Sect leader, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, as he followed inside.

The buildings within the Tianjian Sect Sect were peculiar, constructed in the shape of swords, each level bearing a sharp blade suspended in midair.

These blades emitted a chilling frosty gleam, giving an overwhelming sense of pressure.

A colossal statue

At the center of the entire Tianjian Sect Sect stood a colossal statue, its body muscular, long hair swirling as if a deity had descended.

It was the founding ancestor of the Tianjian Sect Sect.

Ximen Wudi glanced at the Tianjian Sect Sect leader.

"This is your cultivation ground—I'll leave for a while!"

Ximen Wudi spoke and departed.

He arrived outside the Tianjian Sect Sect, then summoned forth his true body.
