Linghu Yuncheng was quite quiet.
The biggest source of unrest was that Yin Yuan and his family were all out. These days, for the Linghu clan's power over household affairs, finances, and many other trivial matters, the noisy and chaotic Linghu clan members finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Regain your energy, cultivate your body and mind, and wait for Yinyuan and Linghu's clan girls who have 'forgotten their relatives after having men' to come back, then we can continue arm wrestling!
In the only house allocated to Lu Yi, the sword spirit was rising. Occasionally, when someone passed by the street in front of the gate, they could hear the faint sound of the sword whistling in their hearts. In the house, the old trees with lush branches and leaves had long been shattered by the fierce sword spirit, leaving only the old and strong branches like the fingers of an old zombie, pointing stiffly to the sky.
This time, Lu Yi went to Yunchaling, planning for a big scene.
Therefore, Qingyou and the other two daughters stayed behind.
In fact, the three girls' personalities are a little silly, and their hearts are too "kind". In addition, their current cultivation levels are gradually failing to keep up, so they are really not suitable to go out and follow Lu Yi to do all kinds of fighting and killing.
The three women knew their own weaknesses very well.
So Yinyuan took his relatives out to wander around, while the three girls stayed indoors and devoted themselves to studying their own swordsmanship.
They didn't ask for anything earth-shattering, but at least they hoped that at some point, when Lu Yi was in danger, they would be able to stand beside him with swords in hand instead of standing helplessly behind him.
After so many years, the three little girls who secretly ran away from home and went to Dayin Haojing to experience the world of martial arts have had a relationship with Lu Yi that is rarely cleared... There is an extremely timeless bond between them that is stronger than family affection... Some things don't need to be said explicitly, but it's enough for everyone to know it.
Neither of them is the type of person who is passionate and willful, and who wants everyone in the world to know about love affairs.
He is not like Yinyuan, who exudes the scent of hormones and has a large archway called "Peach Blossom Tribulation" on every pore of his body... The three women and Lu Yi just hope for a long-term relationship, for things to come naturally and for everything to take its course... The years are peaceful and good, and they just need to pass slowly. They don't want to be like Yinyuan, who has to topple over ten or eight grape racks at home every day, making his face look like it was scratched by chicken claws. Isn't it interesting to be bloody?
This time, Lu Yi went to Yuncha Ridge and did not allow the three women to follow him, which made the three women quite upset.
In the courtyard, the three women stood in the three directions, sword energy was breathing out, sword light was rising, and wisps of sword intent kept pouring out from the void, slowly sinking into their brows. This was the "sword way" of this world, which was manifesting as wisps of sword intent with changing colors and extremely sharp and fierce, rushing towards them at a high speed and combining with them.
In the Supreme Primordial Heaven, there is no "Sword Emperor" yet.
The sword is the most commonly used magical power and the most murderous aura of the cultivators. Logically speaking, in the Supreme Primordial Heaven, there should be countless sword cultivators running wildly on the sword path, pursuing the highest Dao fruit of the sword path.
With the grandeur of the Supreme Primordial Heavenly Sword Dao, it can at least accommodate three or five powerful cultivators who have condensed the Dao Fruit of the Emperor's Seal and achieved the status of "Sword Emperor". Just like Ming Jiudan's "Fist Dao", it is enough to be a large road and accommodate several great emperors.
This is where the oddity comes in.
Perhaps it was because the fighting between sword cultivators was too brutal, causing the sword cultivators in the Supreme Taichu Heaven to not live long... Even with the ruling status of Gaoda Tianting, Taiyu Tian, ​​and Taimi Tian, ​​the three emperors invested huge amounts of resources, but they still failed to cultivate a sword emperor who could condense the fruits of the sword path.
Many times, many times, some elites who seemed to have the opportunity to condense the fruit of the sword path were inexplicably robbed when they took that step. They were either killed by external forces or died inexplicably.
Over time, a rumor spread among the core leaders of the three major forces that the "Sword Dao" of the Supreme Taichu Heaven had abandoned all the cultivators of the Supreme Taichu Heaven... It was impossible for any cultivator from the three major forces to obtain the supreme fruit of the Sword Dao!
Some even confidently asserted that the path to becoming the Sword Emperor in Supreme Taichu Heaven had been cut off.
It is well known that the purity, extremeness, and extraordinary strength of sword cultivators... Among cultivators of the same level, sword cultivators are almost superior to all other arts and methods. With just a sword, there is no one they cannot kill, no one they dare not kill, and no one they cannot kill!
In the Supreme Primordial Heaven, many major forces want to cultivate a Sword Emperor of their own.
It has been countless years, and no one knows how many years the Supreme Heaven has been established... They have been working hard, continuing to work hard, and continuing to run on the road of hard work.
However, including the Great Emperor Taichu, those powerful elite who were secretly trained to reach the realm of Sword Emperor never dreamed that the hardships and painstaking efforts they had endured in their daily lives, and the countless efforts and energy they had spent to pick up a ray of the essence of swordsmanship from the void, would actually gather towards Qingyou and the other two women like birds flying into the forest.
The cultivation level of the three Qingyou girls is not high.
However, their compatibility with the sword, as well as the "closeness" of the "sword" of Supreme Taichutian to the three sisters, is simply extraordinary, to an outrageous degree.
When ordinary kendo masters "study" kendo, it's like a group of wealthy, powerful and dissolute young men, holding gold in their left hands and silver in their right hands, turning into licking dogs, and working hard to lick the "seductive young lady"... and the "kendo" is only "hesitant" and "stingy" and sprinkles a few insignificant grains of flour when it is "licked" to no avail.
And the attitude of the swordsmanship of this world towards the three Qingyou sisters is just like a 'fickle' by nature, but 'falling in love' kind of 'seductive girl' meeting a 'peerless scumbag'. There is no need for the three sisters to even whimper. The swordsmanship of this world will actively 'undress' and then 'throw itself into the arms', showing off its own grace and subtlety, and pouring all its fiery energy into the arms of the three sisters.
During the time when Lu Yi left Linghu Yuncheng and rushed to Yunchaling, the three sisters concentrated on comprehending the way of the sword in the house, honing their sword skills bit by bit and tempering their sword hearts.
In a short period of time, driven by the 'sword way' and 'active surrender' of this world, the three sisters' cultivation realm has been improved at an extraordinary and outrageous speed to a level that the three girls themselves are unaware of. If outsiders knew about it, they would definitely be dumbfounded, or even scream out in shock.
Without the Buddha's relics obtained by Lu Yi to infuse their cultivation, and without the magic pills bestowed by Emperor Taiyao to improve their foundation, the three sisters spent a short period of time in this house concentrating on comprehending the way of the sword and improving their sword realm. At this moment, the 480 million acupoints in their bodies were already filled with white, sparkling, thick, sticky, and extremely pure sword light.
The incomparably sharp and domineering sword beams made clanging sounds, like waves of flood, madly washing through the three women's acupoints. Those strands of sword beams were led by the Supreme Heaven Court, and joined forces by many great emperors and supreme beings from the Supreme Primordial Heaven. They attracted the great way, pulled the laws, and forcibly forged the chains of laws formed by the heavenly rules and regulations.
One after another, tiny and delicate lines existed between reality and illusion, as if they existed and not there, entwined around the three women's acupoints, sealing them. This determined that all cultivation within the three women's acupoints must be carried out according to the law of 'Nine Scales and Nine Claws', and follow the rules of 'doing things by the rules' step by step. The chains of the law continuously emitted dazzling light and turned into dense nets, forming layers of thick dams inside and outside the acupoints, struggling to resist the erosion of the flood formed by countless sword beams.
Every wave of sword light washed over, tore apart, shattered and turned into nothingness the extremely fine chains of laws.
With each strand of the chain of laws being broken, the aura of the three women became more agile, more fierce, and more domineering. An unrestrained and all-destroying sword intent became more and more distinct!
sword!
It's overbearing!
sword!
It's smart!
sword!
be free!
Since time immemorial, in the lower realm of the Supreme Taichu Heaven, whether in the Liangyi Heaven, the Yuanling Heaven, or the Jisheng Heaven, sword cultivators have always been the most arrogant, domineering, unrestrained, and wanton group of people.
With the most casual and unrestrained attitude, they wielded the most free and arrogant sword techniques to cut down powerful and terrifying enemies one after another...
The sword is the king of all weapons. It cannot be restrained or restricted in any way!
You want to put shackles on an emperor, confine him to a small box, and make him act according to the rules you set? If the emperor succumbs, then he is no longer an emperor!
Therefore, the way of the sword is completely contrary to the heavenly rules and regulations of the Supreme Taichu Heaven!
All cultivators who submit to the current cultivation laws and rules of the Supreme Taichu Heaven and obey this set of heavenly rules and regulations will never be able to touch the essence of the way of the sword, will never be able to touch the core of the way of the sword, and will never be able to truly understand what the "sword" is!
Unless they dare to swing their swords at the Great Emperor Taichu, the Great Emperor Taiyu, and the Great Emperor Taimi, unless they dare to draw their swords at the powerful behind-the-scenes masters like the Green Emperor, unless they dare to rise up with swords and call on their friends to smash the shackles of heaven and earth and the rules of cultivation that now cover the entire Supreme Taichu Heaven... Otherwise, they will never be able to condense the fruits of the sword path and achieve the wonder of "Sword Emperor".
However, if you cannot become the 'Sword Emperor', how can you break the shackles?
This is a paradox.
However, this paradox disappeared in the bodies of the three Qingyou sisters, who had clear minds, knew little about the shackles of heaven and earth and the rules of the Supreme Taichu Heaven, had no fear or dread, and had excellent talent in swordsmanship!
They are masters of swords.
Therefore, the swordsmanship of Supreme Taichutian took the initiative to throw himself into the arms of the three sisters, and even wanted to stick to them.
Strands of sword intent descended silently, and the endless mysteries of swordsmanship actively merged with the souls of the three women.
The sword light in the acupoints in their bodies became brighter and stronger. With every breath, the realms of the three women were improving, and their strengths were soaring... However, this improvement, this surge, was completely inconsistent with the natural rules and regulations of the Supreme Taichu Heaven, and completely broke through the rigid rules of the 'Nine Scales and Nine Claws'.
The three women themselves were also confused and had no idea what the changes happening in their bodies meant.
They could only feel that their sword hearts were becoming more and more pure and complete, the sword intent in their bodies was becoming more and more agitated and high-spirited, and the sword light that was nurtured was becoming more and more sharp and domineering... The three women's fingers were itching, and they really wanted a few unlucky guys to appear in front of them so that they could swing their swords and chop them with three thousand swords.
Outside the mansion.
A team of clan stewards from the Linghu clan ancestral hall quietly appeared with the elite soldiers responsible for the execution of clan law. They blocked the surrounding streets in an orderly manner, cleared the flow of people, and emptied several large mansions nearby. From the owner of the mansion to the servants and maids, the guards, and even the pet birds, running dogs and fat cats, they were all cleared out in a very short time.
They leisurely used the defensive formation of the surrounding mansions as the foundation, and after a slight modification, it turned into a blockade barrier covering an area of ​​several miles in radius, isolating the breath inside and outside, isolating the light and shadow inside and outside, and isolating all sound transmission. All means of transmitting information such as sending signals and flying swords were also cut off.
These clan stewards held the edicts stamped with the seal of the clan elders in the main hall of the Linghu clan temple. Therefore, the Linghu clan members around them cooperated very well and no one raised any questions. Even after they moved away at a very fast speed, they did not tell anyone about what happened here.
A small void teleportation array lit up directly in front of the main entrance of the house where Qingyou and the other two girls lived.
Surrounded by platinum-colored divine light, a team of elite alien warriors of the Holy Spirit wearing golden armor, with hair and eyebrows all bright gold, eyes emitting flames like little suns, and three to nine pairs of flaming wings waving slowly behind them, strode out of the teleportation array!
The elite of the Holy Spirit Clan openly passed through the Void Transfer Array and appeared in the core area of ​​the Linghu clan!
You must know that a powerful clan like the Linghu family has extremely strict control over their own territory, especially in a vital place like Linghu Yuncheng, which is covered with countless barriers and prohibitions. No void teleportation array can be effective here. Even the void teleportation array set up by the Linghu family themselves cannot be opened without the seal signed by more than three of the nine elders of the Linghu family.
And these elites of the Holy Spirit clan just walked in and marched straight in.
A Linghu clan ancestral hall steward who had mobilized a large number of people to block off this block nodded to Ling Yu, who was walking in front, and said calmly: "You only have a quarter of an hour. No matter how careful we brothers are, this is Linghu Cloud City. If you don't leave in a quarter of an hour, you will die here."
Ling Yu smiled slightly and blinked at the deacon: "Do you think that the nine current elders of your clan have the confidence to issue a kill order against us?"
The Linghu clan ancestral hall steward pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly: "The current nine clan elders may not have the confidence, but the special envoy of Emperor Taiyu, Lady Bai, is in the city... We are not familiar with her temperament, we don't know... It's just that she and Yinyuan are now as close as honey and oil. You want to target the woman of Yinyuan's sworn brother... You can consider the interests involved!"
The clan hall deacon nodded to Ling Huan, then strode into the void teleportation array that Ling Huan and others had come from, and disappeared without a trace along with several other deacons who were traveling with them.
Ling Huan narrowed his eyes and whispered, "The special envoy of Emperor Taiyu? That's interesting... In the ancestral land of the Linghu clan, the most powerful clan under Emperor Taiyu, he kidnapped the woman of the sworn brother of Yin Yuan, the acting head of the Linghu clan... Hehe!"
"Tell me, if this matter was not done by Prince Yuanfu, who would dare to believe it?"
Ling Yu smiled brightly: "Only Prince Yuanfu and the people behind him... they have recruited countless followers and planted countless secret agents within the power of the emperors. Only then did they have the power to abduct these three girls silently!"
"After all, the imperial treasures in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the Great Emperor Taichu will flow out, let alone the ancestral land of the Linghu family?"
Ling Yu smiled firmly and said, "The only one who can take the blame is Crown Prince Yuan Fu."
Looking at the gate of the courtyard in front of him, Ling Yu smiled and said, "A quarter of an hour? Why would it take so long? I know the cultivation level of those three girls very well..."
'laugh'!
Before the sound came, a flash of sword light had already split open the heavy door of the mansion in front. The sharp sword light tore through the void and pierced Ling Yu's eyebrows.
Ling Huanqiao's face changed, and the nine pairs of gorgeous huge wings burning with platinum divine flames behind her vibrated violently, pulling her tall and slender body to dodge quickly behind her.
Even so, it was still too late. She retreated extremely fast, but the sword light was a hundred, a thousand times faster than her retreat speed... No matter how hard she tried to dodge, the sword light still slashed straight at her forehead, tearing the skin on her forehead. A streak of white-gold, burning blood plasma like magma was urged by the sword light and spurted out of the wound like a fountain.
A hand as white as jade, with no signs of anything unusual on the surface, as if it came from the most ordinary mortal body, quietly appeared in front of Ling Yu. "Puff", the hand opened its five fingers and grabbed the sword light that was slashing across.
The sword light was shaking violently, like a mad snake, shaking violently between the five fingers of the palm.
"Hmph, a small sword... Ugh!" The owner of the hand was a young man wearing a white-gold robe and with long golden hair, looking majestic and powerful as if he was born. When he clasped the sword light with his five fingers, he sneered with contempt, and then his face changed slightly, and suddenly white-gold lightning burst out from his five fingers.
Clang, boom!
The sword light and the lightning collided violently. The young man, who had been calm and composed with a hint of arrogance in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, suddenly changed his expression. The platinum-colored lines on the back of his hand suddenly lit up, and his whole body exploded with a platinum-colored angry light mixed with fire and thunder.
With a 'swish' sound, the sword light that could have split the spirit acupoint into two pieces was pinched by the young man fiercely and was forcibly broken into two pieces. However, the broken sword light burst out with a suffocating and tragic killing intent of 'rather die in glory' and 'die together'. The sword light exploded and tore apart the white-gold divine light of thunder and fire on the young man's palm, and cut his five fingers.
The young man's wrist was trembling slightly. He raised his hand and looked at the extremely thin but bone-deep sword mark on his right index and middle finger with a look of shock.
A drop of sticky, platinum-colored blood that was jumping and vibrating like a ball of light slowly seeped out of the wound.
"Me!" The young man looked at his injured finger in horror.
He was one of the most proud sons of Emperor Taimi.
He was not the most beloved son of Emperor Taimi.
However, he, Min Wuyan, is indeed the one with the highest cultivation and the strongest power among all the sons of the Great Emperor Tai Min. He holds a high position in Tai Min Heaven, and his status and authority are equivalent to the deputy commander of the Supreme Heavenly Court's Patrol God Guard!
He was an emperor-level existence, but he actually had his fingers cut by this sword light!
"Just!" Ming Wubian's cheeks twitched and he subconsciously looked up.
The ban that enveloped the entire city block, blocking out all sounds and movements inside and outside, and making all means of communication for help and rescue impossible, had been forcibly broken into several transparent holes a hundred times smaller than the tip of a needle by the few wisps of sword energy emitted by the sword light that had just collapsed!
Although it was extremely small, the formation restriction that covered several miles was indeed broken.
“I…” Meng Wubian instinctively wanted to swear, but the strict education he received since childhood made him instinctively suppress the swear word in an instant - he now wanted to kill those Linghu family traitors who were responsible for setting up the formation and clearing the scene. What were they doing?
"Go in, capture them, and leave quickly!" Originally ordered to cooperate with Ling Yu as an ultimate insurance, Wu Yan took over the command of the operation. He looked at the wound on his finger and said coldly: "Go, you might as well be ruthless... Those three girls, even if they are talented, they have to learn to be obedient, and then they are the talents we need!"
Ling Yu raised his eyebrows and wanted to raise an objection.
However, a golden light flashed between the eyebrows of the Wubian, which came from the extremely strict suppression of the upper and lower classes within the Holy Spirit Clan, making Ling Huan speechless for a moment. She could only solemnly salute Wubian, and with her wings spread out behind her, she led a team of elite soldiers and turned into strands of high-temperature aurora, piercing into the house where the three women were.
Ling Huan and nearly a hundred elite masters of the Holy Spirit clan rushed forward very quickly. They crashed into the yard. Then, they saw a sword, and then they saw a thousand... ten thousand... a hundred thousand... hundreds of millions of sharp swords that were cold and sharp!
Countless sharp swords crisscrossed and turned into a mountain, a sea, and a world made entirely of swords.
In this world, sword intent was surging, sword beams were sharp, and the Wuzhu sword path excluded all other great ways… Three extremely sharp sword lights flashed in the ocean of swords, and then Ling Huan and nearly a hundred elite members of the Holy Spirit clan who had opened up at least tens of millions of acupoints, each of them had three sword marks neatly appeared on their chests that reached deep into their internal organs.
Blood splattered and people vomited blood. No matter how fast Ling Yan and others rushed in, they were bounced back even faster, falling to the ground with a bang and unable to get up for a long time.
A sharp 'hissing' sound kept coming out from their bodies.
It was the sound of their meridians, blood vessels, muscles, acupoints, and even their unique holy spirit power, as well as the Tao they had comprehended, the Law they had comprehended, and the supernatural powers they had cultivated. Everything was being torn apart and chopped into pieces by the Uncast Sword Intent.
Mi Wubi's expression changed again.
"Ling Huan, are you getting old and confused? Are you saying that these three people have only ascended from the lower realms a few years ago? Their cultivation levels are not even up to the level of Heavenly Generals?"
"An ant whose cultivation level is not even up to that of a Heavenly General can kill hundreds of you Star Lords, Heaven Lords, and Great Heaven Lords with one sword..."
Ming Wubian said in a gloomy voice: "Either you are old and confused, or you have colluded with Linghu's people to set a trap for me and want to trap me to death here?"
Ling Yu's expression suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, please understand clearly that I, absolutely, do not have the courage to do such a thing!"
