Chapter 928 - Chapter 928 Chapter 932 Evil Sword Sect

Chapter 928: Chapter 932 Evil Sword Sect Chapter 928: Chapter 932 Evil Sword Sect The escort carriage safely exited Lian City, only to head towards a secluded manor.

Below the manor lay a rugged path, which the three followers navigated, but still, they couldn’t quite feel at ease.

Sure enough, when all the “escort masters” arrived at the mountain road, four young heroes carrying big swords stood in the middle of the road, all wearing flowing robes, with jade-like belts tied around their waists, their eyebrows sharp, eyes bright, and their aura valiant!

“Gentlemen, there’s no need to pretend anymore, I know your true identities.”

“Evil Sword Sect, those who see must be exterminated!”

“We act on behalf of Heaven to send you on your way to reincarnation!”

“What they are escorting must definitely be items that go against Heaven and harm reason!”

The four Great Swordsmasters obviously possessed a sense of towering righteousness. The big swords on their backs exuded an intimidating presence, and even without being drawn, they created immense pressure on the members of the Evil Sword Sect disguised as escort masters.

“Trouble now, these four are clearly of King-Level Realm, most likely disciples from an Immortal Sword Sect out on a trial in the mortal world.” Ling Song slapped his forehead in realization.

Just as these members of the Evil Sword Sect were about to return to their stronghold, a reputable and orthodox Sect abruptly appeared.

The Evil Sects and demonic teachings of the present day really seem to be in decline, can’t they avoid detection so easily? Being treated as trial targets by the major orthodox Sects, is there any need for their existence in the future?

“Hahaha, ignorant boys, still wet behind the ears but thinking themselves invincible. It seems your masters never taught you not to rashly provoke our Evil Sword Sect, or else you might end up without a complete corpse!!” A voice echoed from the direction of the manor.

In that moment, a man in a yellow robe stepped onto the treetops and flew over. The man hadn’t arrived yet, but his striking red Evil Sword was already upon them!

The Evil Sword thrust towards the four Great Swordsmasters, bringing with it a blood-red sword wind, fierce and chilling like the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves. Merely grazing past someone, it inflicted excruciating pain as if flaying their skin and scraping their bones.

The four young itinerant Sword Masters immediately drew their swords to defend, but while they could fend off the sharp Evil Sword, they could not withstand the demonic sword wind. The wind tore their flesh, leaving them drenched in blood in an instant.

“Demi-god!” One of the Great Swordsmasters showed a look of terror, recognizing the horrifying strength displayed by their opponent, he completely lost the will to continue fighting.

As expected, in just a few moves, the four valiant orthodox Sword Masters were defeated. They fell to the ground, their bodies a gory mess, and the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master even severed the tendons in their limbs, robbing them of any ability to flee.

The four were filled with humiliation and regret, reproaching themselves for acting so rashly without properly investigating the situation.

A Demi-god Level Evil Sword Master, no matter how many would come, they would face a brutal end.

“Take them back, see if their twenty-some years of cultivated Sword Master physiques can be used to brew some Bone Tempering Pills; they should still have some medicinal properties!” The Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master let out a hoarse laugh.

…

Elsewhere, Ling Song breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“It’s good that the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master arrived in time, otherwise, we’d have to face up to these idiots ourselves, which would’ve exposed us,” said Ling Song.

“They’re most likely disciples of the Earth Sword Sect, brave but reckless,” Linghu Ling commented.

“The situation is still manageable. With a Demi-god Level Evil Sword Master intercepting them, it means we’re close to the mountain gate of the Evil Sword Sect,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

Sword practitioners, to some extent, can be a bit… hotheaded!

Sword practice is a tedious and prolonged endeavor, a fact that Zhu Minglang was very clear on. Most of the time is spent in self-contemplation and hard training. To achieve something, one must cut off from the world and devote oneself to the Sword Dao, but this approach means that many Sword Masters have an overly simplistic way of thinking. Moreover, with the excessively rigid orthodox beliefs transmitted amongst fellow disciples within the Sect, it tends to harm these cultivators who descend the mountain to roam.

“Among you of the Yuheng God Territory, there are many such obstinate Sword Masters, aren’t there?” Zhu Minglang asked casually.

Linghu Ling was displeased.

Did that obstinate Swordsman include her too?

“Quite a few. With their robes and swords on their backs, along with a sense of chivalry and no brains… it’s practically the standard for Yuheng God Territory Sword Cultivators,” Ling Song immediately noted.

“Those who pursue the Sword Dao wholeheartedly would naturally not be as cunning as you!” Linghu Ling retorted.

“If the Heavens have bestowed us with wisdom and we don’t use it, it would be quite a waste.”

“Yes, quite a waste.”

Linghu Ling couldn’t win against the two, and there was no need for her to defend the Sword Masters of the Earth Sword Sect they had just encountered. It was true that the Yuheng God Territory was filled with such types of Sword Masters, but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing–it was better than in some God Territories where everywhere one went, one encountered nothing but sly villains.

…

Following behind all the way, the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master took on the role of escort.

Indeed, after passing through a stretch of woods, they saw the mountain gate of the Evil Sword Sect amidst these verdant hills.

From the outside, the mountain gate indeed appeared like a minor Sect, one of many reclusive Sects within the Yuheng God Territory. Thus, if outsiders accidentally stumbled upon this place and saw such a Sect, they might even offer praise, marveling at the spiritually vibrant mountain with extraordinary people.

The Evil Sword Sect does not mean that they have a large “Evil” character written across their faces, and their attire does not differ in the slightest from that of a normal sword cultivator. You could even say the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master had benevolent features, which is why acting chivalrously is actually not as simple as it looks…

“I’ll go in first to scout around and erase some restrictions that can easily detect our presence,” Ling Song said.

As a godly thief, Ling Song certainly had his own set of skills.

Since it was the base of an Evil Sword Sect, there would definitely be masters stationed inside. The last thing they wanted was to startle the snake by hitting the grass, because once the other side became aware of their presence, it would become difficult to find all the Silver Dawn Shards, and they would also be delayed by time.

Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling were waiting in the forest at the foot of the mountain.

The sun was already slanting westward, and looking towards the long southern sky from here, one could even see the lofty mountain range of the Tianshu God Domain, hidden behind the hazy mist.

It wasn’t long before Ling Song returned.

“There aren’t many masters, but not all of the Silver Dawn Shards are above. I suggest we wait a few more days,” Ling Song said with certainty.

“This place isn’t their headquarters?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Yes, it’s just a minor division. However, if we follow that Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master, we should be able to find their Sect’s location. I overheard them talking,” Ling Song replied.

“We need to be patient,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“I also heard something interesting, something I bet Fairy Linghu didn’t expect,” Ling Song suddenly started laughing.

Linghu Ling looked at Ling Song, waiting for him to continue.

“Those four Earth Sword Sect swordsmen who were captured alive, does Fairy Linghu know what happened to them?” Ling Song asked.

“Did they die?” Linghu Ling inquired.

“They were released, and it was that Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master who personally let them go,” Ling Song revealed.

“To beat someone to the brink, capture them, and then release them?” Linghu Ling expressed her confusion, murmuring to herself, “But I also felt something was off earlier. Considering the modus operandi of the Evil Sword Sect, it’s rare for them to spare lives. I thought those four sword cultivators were doomed.”

Even though Linghu Ling was noble and upright, as an Immortal God, she had no intention of excessively concerning herself with mortals heading towards their own demise, especially since her own appearance could impact the crucial task of intercepting the Silver Dawn Shards.

“That’s why I believe there’s more to this situation, and in my opinion, the main base of the Evil Sword Sect will be in a very special place. Let’s wait and see!” Ling Song smirked mischievously, seeming to grow more interested in the Evil Sword Sect.

…

On the third day, all the Silver Dawn Shards that had been kept at this minor Sect division, were transferred to different chests.

The previous tea chests were all burned inside the Sect gate, and then replaced with very sturdy black wooden chests. These black chests were sealed with spells, making them incredibly difficult to open.

Then, the black chests were covered with a seal fabric embroidered with a brown Big Sword logo…

This brown Big Sword logo was identical to the embroidery on the long gowns of the four Earth Sword Sect swordsmen captured earlier.

The attire of the guards was completely changed to that of porters.

And that Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master had also changed his outfit; in a twist, he became a distinguished and aloof Sword Master, clearly from a reputable and upright Sect!

Most importantly, the Sword Master was wearing the official garb of the Earth Sword Sect!

“The Evil Sword Sect has suddenly turned into the Earth Sword Sect??” Zhu Minglang exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the group previously dressed one way now donning different clothes and carrying chests out, his face filled with astonishment.

“Heh heh, that’s why I say, this Earth Sword Sect…”

…

The three of them followed stealthily, with the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master leading the way. This time, they traveled by underground passages, and whenever they passed through a town, they would rest at very respectable inns. Occasionally, when they encountered other notable Sects, they would exchange pleasantries, demonstrating the magnanimity of the Earth Sword Sect!

Soon, they neared the Earth Sword Sect City.

The Earth Sword Sect City is one of the major Sect Cities at the southernmost point of the God Yuheng Domain.

And this group of Evil Sword Sect personnel led by the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master swaggered into the Earth Sword Sect City, entered the Sect Sword Palace, and placed those black chests containing Silver Dawn Shards into their Sect Sword Palace’s Treasure Pavilion…

“Master, did everything go smoothly along the way?” the gray-haired man guarding the Treasure Pavilion asked.

“It went relatively smooth. We just encountered a few dumb disciples of old Chen’s. They must have seen our Sword Disciples taking something by force from others and followed them all the way, nearly starting a fight. Fortunately, I arrived in time, disabled their limbs, and found an opportunity to release them,” the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master, who clearly had another identity as an external Sword Master of this Earth Sword Sect, spoke and acted with a kind and upright demeanor of a righteous elder.

“We should have killed them, even if they were the disciples of acquaintances,” the gray-haired man in charge of the Treasure Pavilion said.

“No problem. They couldn’t recognize us, we’ve disguised ourselves. Besides, most of them likely had Magic Artifacts on them. If they died, it would leave traces, and the Sword Immortals wouldn’t just stand by and watch.”
