Chapter 590: Chapter 279: Settling the Cause and Effect, Luo Fu Cang Kuang_3
However, this Tan Su was actually Han Yi in disguise. The real Tan Su had been bewitched and was kept inside his Qiankun Ring.
He had replaced Tan Su to secretly infiltrate this place because the two Sword Tools he sensed were here.
Before this, he had been squatting nearby for two hours, determining Tan Su as his target before taking action.
After all, Luofu Mountain was one of the four sacred places of the Daqin Immortal Country, and Taijing City was a large Immortal City. The cultivators stationed in the city were definitely not weak, and the formations were equally strong. With Han Yi’s current injuries not fully healed, he naturally wouldn’t barge in directly.
With his numerous Soul Skills and Disguise Techniques, his ability to investigate and explore was virtually seamless.
First, he found a low-level disciple, used Black Divine Tower’s medicine to bewitch them, then used a soul-searching method to consolidate their soul shadow and view their memories. Afterwards, he used his disguise technique to transform into that disciple.
With a false identity, he switched places.
With Han Yi’s experience in the Illuminating World and Tianquan World, no one could recognize his disguise unless they were a Spirit Transformation Expert.
At this moment…
After entering the Luofu Mountain base…
Han Yi rushed towards the location where he had sensed the Sword Tool’s aura. Here, there were two swords – the Evil Suppression Sword and the Green Reed Sword. One was a top-ranked treasure, while the other was a high-ranked treasure.
Following the aura, Han Yi arrived at the depths of the base, where the person in charge was located.
He felt a heavy burden on his heart. According to Tan Su’s memory, the two Sword Tools had already caught the attention of the base’s leader and were reported to the sect, and the Sword Species would come to take them away soon.
He had to make a move before that happened.
However, what made him slightly relieved was that, in Tan Su’s memory, the person in charge here was a Golden Core cultivator, not a Nascent Soul cultivator.
In the Daqin Immortal Country, there were more than fifty large Immortal Cities across its four provinces. Even the Luofu Mountain sacred place couldn’t possibly have a True Monarch-level expert stationed in every city.
According to Tan Su’s memory, aside from the four provincial cities, the Luofu Mountain bases in other Immortal Cities were usually overseen by deacons, whose cultivation bases were at the Gold Core level.
“Deacon Liang, disciple Tan Su requests an audience,” Han Yi said softly, standing still. An old voice came from inside the door.
“Come in.”
As Han Yi was about to push the door open, suddenly, from several miles away behind him, a powerful aura rapidly approached, howling as it arrived.
The intensity of this aura was extraordinary. Although it only belonged to a Golden Core Peak cultivator, it had an overwhelming momentum, exuding a sense of unrivaled arrogance.
“I heard that Taijing Mountain base found two powerful Sword Tools. It seems that Lady Luck is smiling on me.”
“Let’s see how much help these two Sword Tools can give me in this Supreme Order competition.”
As the aura drew closer, an explosive voice filled with ecstasy suddenly echoed.
Han Yi was startled and immediately knew who it was in his mind.
Luofu Mountain’s Sword Species, Master Mad Sword, Cang Kuang.
This man, named Cang Kuang, had a wild personality and acted almost recklessly. In Tan Su’s memory, among Luofu Mountain’s thirty-three Sword Species, Cang Kuang’s strength could rank in the top three.
His cultivation was at the Golden Core Peak, but his combat power had long since stepped firmly into the Half-step Nascent Soul realm.
Han Yi instantly sensed, from Cang Kuang’s words as he approached, that this man was here to retrieve the two Swords Tools that had just been found at the base.
The pursuit of Sword Tools by the Luofu Sword Cultivators was almost an obsession.
A sword represented combat strength and life itself.
Luofu Sword Cultivators were famous in the world.
If this Cang Kuang got his hands on the Evil Suppression Sword and Green Reed Sword, with Han Yi’s strength not yet fully recovered, it would be difficult to snatch them back.
Han Yi faced two choices…
One was to continue playing the role of Tan Su, not taking any action, let Cang Kuang take the Swords Tools and leave, and then find an opportunity to snatch them back after fully recovering.
The other was to take the initiative, seize the Swords Tools, and then find a way to escape.
The first option was safe and secure; the second was dangerous.
However…
As his thoughts raced, Han Yi had already made a choice.
He seemed not to have heard the voice behind him, and his hands continued to push forward.
Behind the door, in the hall, a Daoist did not look at Han Yi who pushed the door in, but through the door, he watched Cang Kuang approaching rapidly.
His face looked somewhat unpleasant.
This Daoist was the person in charge of this stationed area, Liang Shen, and he had already sent a message to his sect, conveying the news that he had obtained two powerful Sword Tools, to the Sword Species within the sect that he had a good relationship with.
Although it would be converted into sect points when received by that Sword Species, to him, it was a favor done.
In the sacred Luofu Mountain, each Sword Species naturally has its own close and distant relationships with deacons and true disciples.
Factions exist everywhere.
And now it seemed that among this, a link had leaked the information, leading to Cang Kuang’s early arrival.
For him, this felt like the futile effort of trying to draw water with a bamboo basket.
At this moment.
His face suddenly changed dramatically, only to see that Tan Su, the inner disciple who had just entered within the Foundation Building Early Stage realm, suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes.
“Not good.”
His Inner Heart startled, just as he was about to take action, he saw a pair of hands pressing on his chest, and a terrifying force penetrated his inner armor and entered his body.
Crack.
With his breastbone collapsing and blood spraying wildly, Liang Shen’s figure shot out like a cannonball, crashing through one wall after another, alarming the cultivators stationed in the area.
“Who is it?”
“Who?”
“How dare you!”
“It’s Cang Kuang, damn it, you dare to break into the stationed area!”
In an instant, Sword Qi pierced the sky, racing rapidly in all directions, and the formation in the entire stationed area rose explosively, filled with murderous intent.
And this murderous intent targeted naturally the Cang Kuang who had just stepped into the stationed area.
In the eyes of the many Sword Cultivators stationed here, the situation at this moment was clear at a glance.
Cang Kuang stepped into the stationed area, severely injuring Liang Shen. It was heard that Deacon Liang had obtained two powerful Sword Tools not long ago, and everyone in the stationed area knew that Deacon Liang had a deep relationship with one of the sect’s Sword Species, Chi Qing Shui, and it should have been given to Chi Qing Shui.
And Cang Kuang took a step ahead of them. Just now, the words that spread throughout the entire stationed area were naturally heard by the many cultivators within the stationed area.
In Luofu Mountain.
Only Nascent Soul Cultivators could serve as Elders, while Gold Core cultivators were divided into several levels.
Sword Species, true disciples, and deacons were the most common three types.
The so-called Sword Species are Gold Core cultivators with the potential to become Elders, and even Supreme Elders. The number of Sword Species in Luofu Mountain has always been only thirty-three.
This number of thirty-three was set when the sect was established, and if someone died, a true disciple would pass the assessment and take their place.
As for true disciples, they are the remaining Gold Core cultivators other than Sword Species and deacons. Below the true disciples are the inner disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage.
As for deacons, their original identity was true disciple. However, most of them feel that they have no possibility of breakthrough and will become a deacon, taking charge of a certain Immortal City.
Of course, in addition to serving as the person in charge of the Immortal City, there are many deacons on Luofu Mountain who manage the sect, including the nine halls, eighteen temples, and three thousand peaks.
Essentially, the deacons who serve as the person in charge of the Immortal City are equivalent to the stationed elders established by the Xuandan Sect.
At this time.
In the Luofu Mountain stationed area of Taijing City, apart from Liang Shen being in the role of a deacon, there were also two true disciples and dozens of inner disciples.
The formation that instantly enveloped the stationed area just now was triggered by one of the two true disciples.
At this moment.
Cang Kuang, who had just stepped into the stationed area, had his eyes wide open, and a terrifying Gold Core aura erupted.
He laughed wildly.
“Someone dares to frame me right under my nose.”
“Such great courage.”
