Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Arrival of the Sword King Sect_1

Ling Xiao felt that the individuals he would face in the future were likely to be more terrifying and powerful than at any time before; thus, he absolutely could not afford to relax in the slightest.

No matter how the world outside changed, becoming stronger was the only way out!

Time flew by swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Four Sects’ martial arts tournament had arrived.

During this period, Ling Xiao not only used Middle-grade Spirit Stones to break through to the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer but also became more proficient in the use of the three Will types.

The familiarity with the "Soul Control Secret Technique" had also entered a new stage.

Now, with the help of the Mountain River Will, he could control ordinary beasts and trees.

Outside the cave dwelling, Zhao Zhi was approaching when suddenly a bear burst out and began speaking to Zhao Zhi.

"What’s the matter, Zhao Zhi? Is there something you need?"

Zhao Zhi was startled by the Black Bear, but as it was just an ordinary wild beast, he quickly calmed down.

Moreover, listening to the Black Bear’s voice, it was actually Ling Xiao’s.

"Are you Senior Brother Ling?"

"Sort of, what’s the matter?"

The Black Bear asked.

"Senior Brother Ling, the Four Sects’ martial arts tournament is about to start, and the Sect Leader has ordered us to set out. He specifically asked me to inform you."

Zhao Zhi replied respectfully.

"Hmm, I know, I’ll be right there!"

Ling Xiao withdrew his Soul Power, and the Black Bear, looking bewildered, glanced around and then dashed into the jungle and disappeared.

These animals knew their limits; in the Moon Hua Sect, any Disciple was not one they could afford to provoke.

After withdrawing his Soul Power, Ling Xiao then headed to the Sect Main Hall.

By now, Lan Yu’er, Tantai Lingzi, Leng Hao, and Dai Yuling had all already arrived.

As their master, Chang Yueli, Chang Yueying, and Golden Light Heavenly Lord would accompany the team as leaders.

Wu Xiang, as the Sect Leader, naturally had to join the journey, as with Moon Lady presiding over the Sect, he had little to worry about.

Demonflame Celestial, that fellow, having lost all his Disciples, had begun to cultivate in seclusion with fervor. It seemed he was no longer putting his hopes on his Disciples, but was fully dedicated to enhancing his own strength.

Ling Xiao noticed that the cultivation levels of the other four had improved to varying degrees.

Lan Yu’er: Half-step Celestial with fifty percent strength;

Tantai Lingzi: Half-step Celestial with thirty percent strength;

Leng Hao: Initial Stage of Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer;

Dai Yuling: Initial Stage of Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.

By comparison, Ling Xiao’s cultivation had advanced more slowly during this time. This was mainly due to his training in other areas; however, with a cultivation level at the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer, he was not doing badly at all, far more formidable than when he went to Demon Castle City before.

Still, this guy’s facade was maintained as being at the Initial Stage of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.

Being low-key could make it hard for enemies to figure him out.

He had no idea that these four were going all-out with their arduous cultivation in the Sect, almost exhausting themselves to their limits.

Thanks to the benefits gained from the Moon Blossom Pagoda, their cultivation levels skyrocketed for a period.

However, after this period, unless they encountered other extraordinary fortunes, it was unlikely their cultivation would advance so rapidly again.

"Since everyone is here, let’s set out."

Wu Xiang glanced at everyone, feeling quite proud and satisfied.

The Moon Hua Sect today is no longer what it was in the past, especially Ling Xiao’s strength, which is simply unfathomable. It’s believed that in this martial arts tournament between the four sects, he will definitely achieve a remarkable result that commands respect from others.

Wu Xiang touched the crescent-shaped pendant hanging around his neck, then a white light emerged, and a huge treasure ship appeared out of nowhere.

Ten or so meters long and six or seven meters wide, it resembled a crescent moon.

"This is our Moon Hua Sect’s Moonlight Treasure Ship, which, aside from having the attack and defense power of a Half-step Celestial, matches the speed of those in the Heavenly Man Realm. However, it requires the consumption of Spirit Stones, and that’s not something just anyone can afford. So it’s usually only used for grand occasions like the four sects martial arts tournament or the Martial Arts Festival,"

explained Wu Xiang, with several Moon Hua Sect Disciples listening with gleaming eyes.

Without a doubt, this must be some kind of special moving puppet.

The Moonlight Treasure Ship started and instantly left the Moon Hua Sect at a speed difficult for the naked eye to discern, heading towards the Sword King Sect.

An hour later, it was already noon.

The Moonlight Treasure Ship broke through the clouds and appeared above the Sword King Sect.

Its speed rapidly decreased as well.

Each sect has a great protective formation, and if one approaches too quickly, it could trigger an attack. Even Wu Xiang, who had just become the Sect Leader, was well aware of this.

What a beautiful scenery of green mountains and clear waters!

As the speed of the ship reduced, Ling Xiao also had the opportunity to appreciate the scenery of the Sword King Sect.

It has to be said that compared to the Moon Hua Sect, the landscape of the Sword King Sect was even more magnificent, with an edginess and steepness akin to that of a swordmaster.

Giant waterfalls cascaded directly from the mountain peak to the foot of the mountain.

"Truly a good place! It seems like every inch of land, every leaf, is infused with Sword Intent, stirring the emotions,"

Ling Xiao remarked emotionally.

"Isn’t that the truth? The history of the Sword King Sect is not inferior to the Moon Hua Sect, and although they have declined before, their recent rise has far surpassed the Moon Hua Sect—indeed, not to be underestimated,"

said Lan Yu’er with a smile.

The Moonlight Treasure Ship landed, and the Sword King Sect sent an Outer Sect Elder with a few Outer Disciples to welcome them, although their attitude was still rather respectful.

However, it still left a slightly unpleasant feeling.

"Hmph, the Sword King Sect is obviously looking down on our Moon Hua Sect. It’s the same every time during the four sects martial arts tournament; they always send an Inner Sect Elder to meet the representatives from the Beast King Palace, but the one who comes to meet us is always just an Outer Sect Elder!"

As a former Moon Glorious Sect Leader who had visited the Sword King Sect several times, Chang Yueying had always been indignant about this issue.

"Respect is something that has to be earned through strength!"

Wu Xiang said with a cold laugh, "I believe that after this martial arts tournament between the four sects, they will definitely not dare to underestimate our Moon Hua Sect ever again!"

"Wow, when did the Moon Hua Sect get a new Sect Master, huh? But it doesn’t matter who it is; it’s the same anytime, being the trash of the Twelve Sects!"

Suddenly, a very irritating voice rang out.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a double-footed flying dragon descending from the sky, with the group from the Beast King Palace on its back.

The one speaking was an Inner Sect Elder from the Beast King Palace.

Wu Xiang sneered, "Who the trash is, you will know after this four sects martial arts tournament. Today’s Moon Hua Sect is no longer the same as before. Meanwhile, your Beast King Palace, with core disciples causing trouble outside, actually got dealt with by one of our Outer Disciples. How laughable!"

"You!"

The inner door elder from the Beast King Palace was so angry that his face turned red.

Even though he was reluctant to admit it, Ling Xiao, who was once just an Outer Disciple, did indeed kill their core disciple Wang She.

"Enough, enough, all visitors should be treated as guests. Let’s not spoil the good atmosphere over a little issue!"

The Sword King Sect Inner Door Elder, who had come to greet the people from the Beast King Palace, stepped in to mediate.

Normally, he might prefer to see the Moon Hua Sect and the Beast King Palace fighting a life-and-death battle, but this was the Sword King Sect, and the site of the four sects martial arts tournament. Should a real fight break out, the Sword King Sect would not only be implicated, but it would also look bad.
