Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Don’t Push People Too Far (8th
Update)
Three months later, in a mountain range of Liang Kingdom, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue led a team that was encircled by a dense crowd of Demon Sect elders and disciples.
“Hahaha, you dared to intrude upon our Reincarnation Hall’s main temple in Liang Kingdom, truly seeking your own death!”
“This old man is going to enjoy watching the expressions of agony as you struggle in vain before your deaths.”
“Strange, why aren’t you afraid?”
Surrounded by many Demon Sect elders and disciples, the people from Mount Shu and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, however, wore faces of indifference.
“Seven at the Dao Palace Realm, it seems that the strength of Reincarnation Hall’s main temple in Liang Kingdom is not weak. They’re just right for a sword-testing.”
Lu Changsheng signaled with a sword gesture with his right hand, the True Martial Sword let out a crisp ring and shot into the sky, terrifying pressure making many Demon Sect elders and disciples feel their souls trembling.
“An Innate Spirit Treasure?!”
The Demon Sect elders felt the pressure of the True Martial Sword and their scalps numb.
“Myriad Swords Return to Origin!”
Lu Changsheng still executed the same move, the Earth Rank superior swordsmanship Myriad Swords Return to Origin he had mastered to perfection, with Sword Qi pervading the air. Ten thousand paths of black and white Sword Qj spiraled, forming a massive yin-yang Taiji Diagram.
“This is Myriad Swords Return to Origin?”
The Demon Sect elders who had seen Myriad Swords Return to Origin before were greatly shocked.
Under the enhancement of the Innate Spiritual Treasure True Martial Sword, the power of Myriad Swords Return to Origin had doubled, unprecedented in might.
The ten thousand paths of black and white Sword Qj moved swiftly, one after another Demon Sect elder and disciple was slain by the Sword Qi.
“I’ll also try out my sword.”
Xia Ningxue summoned her Flying Sword, the Longsword unsheathed, its dazzling Sword Qi illuminating the heavens and earth, a ten-thousand-zhang Sword Qi soared into the sky, stirring the wind and clouds!
“Is that Pavilion Master’s superior Innate Spirit Treasure Severing Affection Sword?”
“The Pavilion Master actually passed her own Longsword to the Holy Maiden!”
“Could it be that the Pavilion Master wants the Holy Maiden to be the next Pavilion Master? But isn’t the appointed Pavilion Master supposed to be the second senior sister?”
“With the Holy Maiden’s potential, it’s only a matter of time before she surpasses the second senior sister.”
The people from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were also very surprised, for the Flying Sword that Xia Ningxue wielded was the treasure of the Fairy Pavilion Master.
The intention of the Fairy Pavilion Master passing her own treasure to Xia Ningxue was now quite clear.
Xia Ningxue’s Severing Affection Sword swept across, with awe-inspiring might, Demon Sect elders and disciples perishing under the sword, turned to ash and smoke.
“Don’t push us too far!”
“You claim to be the Righteous Dao, yet you use two Innate Spirit Treasures to bully us!”
“If you dare, go trouble our Pavilion Master instead!”
The Demon Sect elders roared repeatedly.
They thought they had successfully ambushed the teams led by Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue, but instead, they were killed in disarray by Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue.
With the cultivation of Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue, coupled with two superior Innate Spirit Treasures, they had enough power to flatten this stronghold.
Superior Innate Spirit Treasures, those are treasures only Sect Leaders and Supreme Elders have.
Even if Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue could not unleash the full power of the superior Innate Spirit Treasures, just channeling a part of their power was enough for these Demon Sect elders to handle.
“Your opponent is me!”
Lian, now in the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, actively sought out an elder of the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm to challenge.
“Little girl, looking for death!”
The Demon Sect elder at the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm had a ferocious look in his eyes. It was one thing for Dao Palace Realm powerhouses like Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue to bully them with superior Innate Spirit Treasures, but even a young girl like Lian dared to challenge a long-famed Demon Sect elder?
But soon, this Demon Sect elder regretted it.
Lian, with the Martial King Divine Physique, was virtually unbeatable in her own realm, even more fierce than the Demon Sect elders who were a minor realm higher than her. After the time it took to brew three cups of tea, the Demon Sect elder at the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm fell.
Lian was accumulating battle experience.
The remaining members of Mount Shu and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion also took the opportunity to kill Demon Sect elders and disciples, either for experience or for contributing to their sect.
In the retaliation of the Mount Shu and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion disciples, the Reincarnation Hall’s main temple in Liang Kingdom was destroyed, all seven Dao Palace Realm Demon Sect elders, fell.
Clang.
The True Martial Sword and the Severing Affection Sword returned to their scabbards almost simultaneously.
“The matter here is resolved, I should return to Mount Shu.”
After eradicating the Reincarnation Hall’s stronghold in the Xia Kingdom, Lu Changsheng, together with Xia Ningxue, swept through several of the Reincarnation Hall’s strongholds in the Liang Kingdom, eliminating the threats they posed to both the Xia and Liang Kingdoms.
It was not just the teams led by Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue; other Mount Shu Elders and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion Elders were also leading teams to sweep through the Demon Sects’ strongholds in various countries.
Lu Changsheng had completed the sect mission, and his disciple Lian had completed her assessment task, advancing to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Till we meet again.”
Xia Ningxue took the people from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion back to report on their mission.
“Master, why was the conversation between you and Sister Xia so brief when you parted ways?”
As Lian followed Lu Changsheng on their way back to Mount Shu, she couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
“With her talent, unless she meets an untimely demise, she will inevitably reach the Longevity stage. There will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future, so there’s no need for lengthy farewells.”
“I see. I’ve noticed that Sister Xia is usually as cold as ice, except when she communicates with Master…”
Clunk.
Lu Changsheng knocked on Lian’s head. “Child, don’t overthink things. Focus on your cultivation.”
“Oh.”
Lian rubbed her head in sulky resignation.
With her Martial King Divine Physique, the light touch from Lu Changsheng was nothing more than a massage to her.
A few days later, Lu Changsheng returned to Mount Shu without incident.
Lu Changsheng led a team to the Record Keeping Pavilion to tally the contributions of each disciple.
“Elder Lian, you killed a total of ten Nascent Soul Realm Demon Sect Elders… Ten Demon Sect Elders!”
Elder Zhang, responsible for tallying the contributions, stood frozen in place upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s report.
He hadn’t misheard, had he?
It was not long ago that Lian had been promoted to an Elder of Mount Shu, and on her first mission, she had managed to kill ten Demon Sect Elders!
Could it be that Elder Lu deliberately attributed his own achievements to his disciple?
No, that wouldn’t make sense with Elder Lu’s level of cultivation.
“Given that Elder Lian is the fifth youngest Elder in the history of Mount Shu and possesses exceptional talent, slaying ten early-stage Nascent Soul Realm Demon Sect Elders is not beyond the realms of possibility.”
Elder Zhang convinced himself that this must be the truth.
“Elder Lu killed the Destruction Sword, Jue Jian, White Bone Demon, Blood Refining Elder, and Sky Bead Elder of the Reincarnation Hall… That can’t be possible, can it?”
Elder Zhang found it even harder to believe this list of deceased Reincarnation Hall Elders, all of whom were well-known figures within the Demon Sects.
All these individuals were dead?
“Absolutely true.”
The newly advanced Dao Palace Elder from Lu Changsheng’s team assured with a thump on his chest.
He had personally witnessed Lu Changsheng’s terrifying power, which had resulted in the near obliteration of the Reincarnation Hall’s younger generation of Elders on this mission.
“This is no small matter, I need to report this to the Sect Leader.”
Elder Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, considering that with so many famous Reincarnation Hall Elders eliminated, the Reincarnation Hall might retaliate out of rage and seek to attack on a larger scale.
After truthfully reporting the contributions of each Mount Shu Elder and disciple in the team, Lu Changsheng took Lian back to Qjngyun Peak to continue their cultivation.
Lu Changsheng planned to diligently cultivate, aiming to break through to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm.
“Disciple greets Master upon his return to the mountain.”
The senior disciple Lin Qingzhi had already returned to Qingyun Peak earlier and remained the most respectful disciple towards Lu Changsheng.
The third disciple Mo Huazhi had also made progress in her cultivation during this period; she was now at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm.
