Chapter 504: Chapter 276: The Infamy Spreads Across the Ling Domain, The Anger of the Red Dark Sect_2

They even felt relieved that they had not made a move.

Otherwise, they would undoubtedly have died.

The figure behind Xu Yan was truly terrifying.

The Second Elder of Chiming Sect was at the peak of Refining God Heavenly Man.

Even if he was considered weak among them, he was still at the peak of Refining God Heavenly Man, a powerful presence that could suppress the entire Yuzhou.

Yet, he was annihilated in an instant under the joint hands of the Spirit Sect and the Su Family.

Even the most powerful individuals in Transcendent Spirit Sect couldn’t do better, could they?

Was that a figure on par with the strongest ones in the Transcendent Spirit Sect?!

And the Sword Dao displayed by Xu Yan was truly inconceivable!

He indeed had the qualifications to be audacious!

Such Sword Dao was unheard of, no Sword Dao Martial Artist had ever accomplished it.

Could the strongest Sword Dao Warrior in the Thousand Martial Hall achieve it?

Although his strength was stronger than Xu Yan’s current strength, could he turn plants and rocks into swords?

Could he transform a mountain into a sword?

No!

“Who is he? What kind of technique is that?”

Many powerhouses expressed such wonder and exclamations.

The heavenly and earthly forces are like a dragon, turning into a terrifying kill zone, obliterating enemies with a wave of his hand.

How did he attract the heavenly and earthly forces?

How did he control them?

“The Spirit Sect and the Su Family are ours now,” Yu Gao said to the Refining God Martial Artists present.

“But, it’s not yet time for our All Ages Alliance to reveal ourselves, so we need to keep a low profile. Take advantage of the Spirit Sect and the Su Family not yet reacting, and occupy them.

“Find and empty the treasure houses as soon as possible, and don’t flaunt our name.

“Otherwise, the Spirit Sects from other territories will certainly intervene.”

Yu Gao was extremely excited, the biggest winner of this battle was undoubtedly the All Ages Alliance of Yuzhou.

“That elder was truly terrifying!”

Yu Gao couldn’t help exclaiming in his heart.

Of course, the Sword Dao displayed by Xu Yan deeply shocked him as well.

He believed that this battle would be the beginning of Xu Yan’s rise to fame in Ling Domain, and Lu Xinting would become the stepping stone to Xu Yan’s ascent to the pinnacle of Ling Domain!

“Great Protector, don’t worry, we understand.”

The Refining God Martial Artists of All Ages Alliance replied with excitement and thrills.

“Good, let’s go!”

Yu Gao waved his hand, leading part of the Refining Gods to the Spirit Sect, while the rest went to the Su Family.

As for the other Spirit Sects and noble families, they had been scared out of their wits by now, and didn’t dare to interfere.

…

“Brother Xu is amazing! I, Shen Haizhou, am indeed wise. I recognized this to be a True Dragon and a big leg to cling to from the start!”

Shen Haizhou said with a sigh.

With his acquaintance with Xu Yan, the status of the Shen Family in Yuzhou was secured, and could be furthered.

“With the Spirit Sect and Su Family about to be destroyed, they can’t occupy all their territories and people, and dare not openly occupy them. Is it fair and reasonable for my Shen Family to officially take over the territories of the Spirit Sect and Su Family?

“I need to talk to Fang Hao about this, it’s an opportunity.”

Shen Haizhou was deep in thought.

“Hahaha, Zhu Liang old man, I, Shen Tai, have broken through, let’s see how long your arrogance will last!”

Suddenly, a wild laughter rang out.

The powerful aura of Divine Soul enveloped the area.

The senior members of the Shen family were all alarmed. They all emerged one after another, overjoyed.

Shen Tai had broken through!

The Shen Family now had the power to match the Spirit Sect.

“Hahaha, I’m so happy today, I’m going to find that bastard Zhu Liang for a spar!”

Shen Tai said excitedly.

“Dad, slow down, slow down!”

Shen Wang hurriedly called out to his dad, who was roaring with laughter and wearing a look of arrogance.

“What, you ungrateful son, do you think I can’t beat Zhu Liang?”

Shen Tai furrowed his brows, feeling a sudden itch in his fist, wishing to hit his son!

“No, Dad, Zhu Liang is dead!”

Shen Wang hastily stated.

“That’s right, Zhu Liang is dead!”

The elders of the Shen family urgently nodded in agreement.

Shen Tai was suddenly stunned, he quickly got up from his seat, no longer behaving arrogantly, and seriously asked, “How did Zhu Liang die? Who killed him?”

Shen Wang took a deep breath, his face solemn, but still couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes.

“You know about Xu Yan, right? This all started with the Battle of the Prodigies…”

Shen Wang relayed the events from start to finish in great detail to Shen Tai.

“This…this…”

Shen Tai was shocked beyond belief.

Then he said solemnly, “We must keep my breakthrough a secret. We’ll assess the situation outside before making any moves. Make sure everyone in the family keeps a low profile.

“There’s a real monster in the Ling Domain, and it’s possibly even more terrifying than the previous Blood Demon.

“We can’t afford to provoke it, where’s my obedient grandson? Call him over to see me.”

After saying that, Shen Tai turned around and left. Despite his advancement, he still needed to keep a low profile.

The news of the Battle of the Prodigies was spreading continuously. The name of Sword God Xu Yan started to spread widely, and the stories were getting more and more outrageous.

“Sword God Xu Yan, the loose cultivator prodigy who killed Lu Xinting, do you know how powerful his Sword Dao is? With a flick of his hand, plants and grass transform into sharp swords…”

“Your information is wrong. My friend’s friend was there in person. Xu Yan merely raised his hand and a giant mountain transformed into a terrifying sword and fell down.”

…

“Did you hear? Xu Yan just uttered the word ‘sword’ and a giant mountain was turned into a giant sword. Just a little leakage of Sword Qi, and Lu Xinting turned into dust…”

“Nonsense, my friend was there at the time, Xu Yan didn’t even open his mouth, nor did he move his hand, it was just a look in his eyes and the mountain obediently turned into a sword, killing Lu Xinting…”

The tales became more and more ridiculous, and increasingly stretched from the truth, to the point that people who heard it scoffed at the absurd stories.

Even the most powerful ones in the Transcendent Spirit Sect couldn’t achieve this let alone a Loose Cultivator prodigy.

“It’s just another loose cultivator bragging. In my opinion, killing Lu Xinting is true, but it must have been a hard fought battle. It just shows that Lu Xinting is a bit of a waste, he has let down the other prodigies of the Spirit Sect.”

A prodigy snickered.

Turning plants into swords, turning mountains into swords – this was simply absurd, even bragging was being stretched too far.

“The power of the Crimson Shadow Sect is just average, so how strong could a disciple like Lu Xinting be? The Divine Glory Body, though it is one of the top ten treasures, is just a treasure after all.

“Killing two or three loose cultivators at the Refining God Heavenly Man level makes him feel strong?

“He deserved to be killed by Xu Yan, the loose cultivator. He just lost face for the prodigies of the Spirit Sect.

“Heh, if Xu Yan encounters me, if he can last three breaths in my hand without losing, he can be called the number one prodigy among the loose cultivators!”

A famous prodigy in the Ling Domain said with disdain.

As for Xu Yan’s news, the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became. It was so exaggerated that fewer people believed it, because someone was surely manipulating it behind the scenes.

On the other hand, the news about Li Xuan making a move never spread in the Ling Domain.

It seems to have been deliberately covered up.

No matter what, it was a fact that Lu Xinting, a well-known prodigy in Luo State and a disciple of the Crimson Shadow Sect, was killed in the Battle of the Prodigies.

This was the first uprising in the Battle of the Prodigies after a long journey. However, a Spirit Sect prodigy was defeated, causing the relatively conservative and radical strong ones of the Spirit Sect to feel anger and even embarrassment.

Luo State, Crimson Shadow Sect, everyone in the sect could hardly believe it.

Lu Xinting was defeated?

And was he also killed?

In principle, with the Second Elder as the protector, even if he was defeated, he shouldn’t have been killed.

But, the news came that Lu Xinting was dead!

Second Elder was also dead!

He was, after all, a pinnacle master of the Refining God Heavenly Man level, even if he had just broken through not so long ago, and was not very strong among the Refining God Heavenly Men.

“Who did it?”

Sect Master Xing’s face was cold and killing intent was billowing.

The elders present were also outraged, saying angrily, “Sect Master, we must take revenge, we must kill Xu Yan, otherwise, where will the face of our Crimson Shadow Sect be?”

“Yes, we must kill Xu Yan at all costs!”

“And the people behind him!”

“Someone with such power, who can cultivate such a prodigy, can it be an ordinary loose cultivator? It must be the remnant of Wan Xing no doubt!”

The elders spoke through gritted teeth.

“We must kill Xu Yan, but considering his strength should not be underestimated, even if the sect master were to make a move, can we be certain to take him down?”

“This matter not only concerns the Crimson Shadow Sect, but also involves the honor of the Ling Domain’s Spirit Sects and noble families, and their governance!”

The eldest elder of the Crimson Shadow Sect said solemnly.

“The eldest elder is correct, regardless of whether there is Wan Xing’s remnant behind Xu Yan, this is still a challenge to our Spirit Sects and noble families. I recently intercepted information concerning the loose cultivators’ forces.

“We should contact other friendly sects to discuss this.”

Sect Master Xing said with a grim expression.
