Chapter 108: Chapter 96: Celestial Sword Reappears, Town North King_2
Li Ling was somewhat hesitant.
Eunuch Ye quickly advised:
"Crown Prince, the Princess makes a good point. We cannot just wait here for True Man Tianjian to appear. If the Town North King learns you’ve come out..."
Li Ling retorted with a pout:
"So what if he finds out..."
Eunuch Ye immediately gave a wry smile.
Ning Qi paused his steps, not continuing to listen. Half the day was wasted already; he might as well return to study the Taoist Scripture and practice Gang Qi.
...
The night sky was clear, and the starlight shimmered faintly.
Ning Qi sat solemnly in the Scripture Pavilion, performing the Heaven and Earth Grinding Wheel Quenching Gang Technique. The pill combining the Relic and Luminous Pearl was still under study, so he had to rely on self-cultivation for now.
The Power of Heaven and Earth surged around him, reverberating in a roar only Ning Qi could hear. Threads of pure Gang Qi flowed from within the grinding wheel.
Inner Observation.
He could see that the White Mist Gang Qi within Ning Qi’s body had become somewhat thicker, and its quantity had increased compared to before.
This was a process of accumulation leading to transformation, where quantity leads to quality change.
But during the process, strength would also improve.
Ning Qi estimated that after cultivating for some more days, he could perform the Heavenly Sword Technique twice with his Gang Qi.
Suddenly.
Ning Qi’s heart skipped a beat; he interrupted his cultivation, stood, and gazed through the Scripture Pavilion window into the distant sky.
Several powerful auras were approaching!
Without any hesitation.
Ning Qi communicated with the Heart Fake Pill through his Divine Thought. Instantly, the Power of Heaven and Earth he controlled surged to visible levels; his eyes grew colder, and the Innate Sword Body began to work silently.
In fact.
It wasn’t just his keen perception; it was also because those powerful auras did not hide.
They came with ill intentions.
A surging murderous aura flooded from all directions, accompanied by deep laughter as formidable figures broke through the air.
Some disciples who were already asleep were startled awake, looking toward the sky in shock.
Taoist Longshan, along with the True Disciples, had already emerged to confront them.
They gazed at the sky, their pupils contracting violently, their hearts pounding.
In the void around True Martial Mountain.
Mighty figures stood poised, their powerful auras unmistakable.
Four Celestial Human Realm entities!
If that were all, Taoist Longshan would not have been so solemn. The crux was that besides these four, another figure stood at the top, small-statured yet exuding an aura far surpassing typical Celestial Human Realm strength.
Elder Wang gazed indifferently at the True Martial disciples below, his cold voice echoed:
"The True Martial Sect aids tyranny, insults our Holy Sect, must be destroyed!"
Taoist Longshan took a deep breath, not arguing. He knew the Demon Sect wouldn’t reason with him; a desperate battle was the only option left.
"True Martial disciples, prepare to fight!" Taoist Longshan shouted, activating the Celestial Being Unity Secret Technique in silence.
Behind him, Luo Wentian and others showed determined eyes.
They hadn’t lost hope.
They knew Senior Tianjian had yet to appear.
Elder Wang sneered.
He stretched out his hand, and a massive Palm Seal dozens of feet wide crashed down toward the crowd, emitting a green mist with a pungent poisonous odor that made anyone dizzy at the slightest whiff, clearly filled with toxins.
As the Great Hand Seal moved along, it made sizzling sounds, seemingly corroding the void itself.
Everyone was aghast.
Taoist Longshan’s gaze turned extremely solemn, prepared to actively confront and shield the disciples behind him. This person seemed to have strength no less than Old Demon Lin, but he could not retreat, or the other disciples would suffer heavy casualties.
But someone was faster than Taoist Longshan.
From deep within the True Martial Sect, a familiar aura arose, the sharpness of its brilliance bringing joy to all who sensed it.
"True Man Tianjian! I knew he was here!"
Luo Wentian and others laughed.
The familiar Celestial Sword pierced through the sky in a flash, striking at the fierce green Palm Seal, its unmatched sharpness obliterating the green mist. Sword Qi exploded, disintegrating the mountain-like Palm Seal into countless green dots.
Everyone watched this scene with excitement.
Li Ling and Li Qingyue watched from afar with excitement:
"True Man Tianjian! I knew True Man Tianjian was still at True Martial Mountain, this sword strike is awesome! Even more impressive than the legends!"
Li Ling praised from the heart.
His eyes carried desire.
"If only I could learn that sword strike."
Eunuch Ye also sighed:
"With just this sword, True Man Tianjian should enter the Celestial Being List!"
However.
After sighing, he immediately instructed:
"You all keep a close watch on the Crown Prince and the Princess."
With that said.
He took the initiative to rush out.
The True Martial Sect was under attack; if he stood by, how could the Demon Sect spare them after destroying True Martial Sect? Hiding here would be pointless, and he couldn’t escape, so he might as well join in repelling the enemy.
He hadn’t forgotten.
The Demon Sect still had four Celestial Human Realm entities waiting to pounce.
Ning Qi unleashed a sword strike, shattering Elder Wang’s Palm Seal, following which the Celestial Sword hovered in the void, resonating with extreme sharpness pointed at Elder Wang.
Elder Wang’s lips curled, unfazed, even a bit delighted:
"Old dog of the Celestial Sword, good that you’re here!"
"You harmed Brother Lin; today, I shall make you pay dearly!"
He laughed viciously.
"A coward hiding in shadows, daring not show your true form. Since you care about True Martial Sect, I’ll let you watch its destruction firsthand!"
With those words, he moved through the air, a boundless green mist emanated, as Palm Seals and Fist Seals bombarded the Celestial Sword with a malicious grin, countering its sharp Sword Qi entirely.
The rest of the Demon Sect’s Celestial Beings understood the cue.
