Chapter 1271: Revised: Chapter 1268 Ancient Grounds of the Sword Sect

After a moment, the couple skilled in the Cooperative Attack Technique broke free from the Sword Array’s constraints and returned to the other five people, looking a bit disheveled.

“It’s good that you two are alright.”

The elder in the late Nascent Soul stage said indifferently.

“What happened inside this Tree Realm? Why did a Seventh Grade Sword Array suddenly appear and trap my wife and me?”

The refined man among the two questioned, had they not been adept in formations, they might have been seriously injured, or even killed by the terrifying Sword Array.

“It’s not just the two of you, Fellow Daoist Tie’s Spirit Bugs were burned by several Strange Fires, and Fellow Daoist Xuann Yuan was ambushed by two Strange Treasures, severely damaging his cultivation path’s Dharma body.”

The elder sighed softly.

Behind him, the bald monk’s pouch at his waist had a layer of Essence Blood circulating, continuously nourishing the remaining four-winged black bug inside. The Body Refining Cultivator’s face was ashen, his body occasionally swaying lightly, looking on the verge of collapse.

“I, along with True Person Five Dragons, found the Xuan Ji Tree Mother, and discovered its injuries were almost completely healed.”

“With the addition of a powerful cultivator hiding in the shadows aiding it, our plan this time is very difficult to succeed.”

The lady in palace attire, holding a two-headed silver wolf in her arms, said coldly.

“Who exactly is that cultivator? He could affect the overall situation single-handedly.”

The thin elder mused thoughtfully.

“I have a sense of familiarity with that Sword Array, if I’m not mistaken, it should be the Zodiac Star Battle Sword Formation of the Dongxuan Sword Sect.”

The refined man said solemnly.

“A Primordial Infant True Monarch from the Dongxuan Sword Sect? How could they come to such a small place like the Cloud Void Domain?”

The thin elder exclaimed.

“As far as I know, there is a Spirit Plant Master named Lu Xuan from Dongxuan Sword Sect who has recently stayed in the Cloud Void Domain. If nothing unexpected, it should be him.”

The lady in palace attire said softly.

Despite Lu Xuan’s low-key actions, whether in cultivation level or personal background, he attracted considerable attention, hence his itinerary couldn’t be concealed from those major sect cultivators in the Cloud Void Domain.

“No wonder, a Spirit Plant Master from the Dongxuan Sword Sect is beyond comparison to our cultivators from isolated realms.”

The bald monk couldn’t help but sigh.

“Since the Xuan Ji Tree Mother has mostly recovered and has the aid of that Daoist from the Sword Sect, we have no choice but to retreat for now and make future plans.”

The late Nascent Soul stage elder said, expressionless.

Facing the restored power and home terrain advantage of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother, the seven’s advantage was not significant, let alone the presence of a mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator filled with treasures, helping covertly.

Most importantly, they all deeply feared the Dongxuan Sword Sect behind Lu Xuan. If they cannot completely keep Lu Xuan in the Tree Realm, what awaits them would be endless revenge from the Sword Sect.

“Alright, as you say, Daoist.”

The other six exchanged glances, the lady in palace attire spoke out, then transformed into seven flashes, instantly disappearing from the far side of the Tree Realm.

“The invading cultivators have all left.”

A faint green breeze blew, the Xuan Ji Tree Mother closed its eyes to listen, then opened them, and said softly.

“Thank you so much this time, young friend.”

It showed a grateful expression.

If not for Lu Xuan repeatedly using the Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal and helping fend off several Nascent Soul cultivators, it might have faced a disastrous fate this time.

Lu Xuan’s displayed strength added more recognition in its heart, further stirring the idea of relocation.

“Senior is too kind, you have cared for me a lot, this little matter is nothing worth mentioning.”

Lu Xuan laughed modestly.

After handling the situation, he didn’t linger much and bid farewell to the Xuan Ji Tree Mother.

“This time in the Cloud Void Domain, I’ve harvested quite a bit.”

“But next time coming back here, who knows when that’ll be, I should seize this opportunity to visit the old site of the Eastern Wilderness Sky Sword Sect.”

Lu Xuan traversed numerous giant woodlands while observing his surroundings.

He had left many fond memories in the Sky Sword Sect, now with sufficient strength, he thought of taking this opportunity to visit again.

Last time coming to the Cloud Void Domain, he had just ascended to the Nascent Soul realm, whether in cultivation level or the treasures on him, far less than now.

“According to what I know, due to the past invasion by demonic forces, the Eastern Wasteland has become a paradise for demons and evil spirits, where the cultivation levels compared to the beginning are diminished significantly.”

“However, the Human Tribe is known for its resilience, after years of resistance, they have gradually established footholds in the Eastern Wasteland, building several cities and strongholds.”

Information about the Eastern Wasteland flashed through Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

He went directly to the Heavenly Star Cave, entered the building where he had previously teleported, and found a Teleportation Array leading to the Eastern Wasteland, silently arriving in the Eastern Wasteland.

“The wild outdoors are filled with quite intense demonic qi.”

After coming out of a city, Lu Xuan floated in the sky, took a deep breath.

Scanning with Divine Sense, he immediately noticed many weird and terrifying Spirit Plants and Demon Beasts, seemingly mutated from long-term invasion and pollution by demonic qi.

There were quite a few cultivators nearby, some even came from other regions, presumably to collect demonic materials.

“Cultivators remaining in the Eastern Wasteland generally exude strong evil qi, looks like they’ve gone through plenty of battles.”

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly, discerning his direction, he patted the upgraded Scolding Thunder Wing, transforming into a flash of lightning, heading towards the remembered site of the Sky Sword Sect.

“Revisiting old haunts, a sea of changes.”

He performed “Heavenly Cicada Six Changes,” concealed his figure, gently landed on a giant stone sword that had only half left, and looked down at the roaming demons below.

“If I haven’t remembered wrong, this should be the Sword Gate Town, a stronghold outside the sect, where the stone sword beneath is the landmark building.”

Looking at the desolate land below his eyes, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel a moment of trance.

Scenes flashed through his mind.

He once got a Sword Command by chance, to avoid troubles from the Wang Family in the market, he traveled thousands of miles using the Commercial Association Treasure Ship, arriving right at the Sword Gate Town beneath his feet.

“It was here where I met Junior Brother Sword Qing.”

Recalling the scene when he met Baili Jianqing, a hint of smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.

Looking towards the direction of the Sky Sword Sect, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of homesick-induced trepidation.

Taking a deep breath, transforming into a silver-white lightning flash, he arrived above the Sky Sword Sect in an instant.

Entering his sight, however, was a ghost lizard-like land.

Demonic forces rampant, blood qi soaring into the sky, creating a huge contrast with the beautiful scenes in his memories.

“A once fine sect blessed land, what have you turned it into!”

Lu Xuan felt a burst of anger, revealing his figure, looking coldly at the hundreds, thousands of demons below.

The Sky Sword Sect built upon the Spirit Vein, abundant in Spiritual Energy, naturally attracting many demonic evils to linger. As soon as Lu Xuan appeared, he drew the attention of numerous demons.

He deliberately concealed his cultivation level, appearing before those demons as a top-notch feast. They flocked over wanting a bite of blood food.

“Consider this a cleansing of the sect.”

In Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness, that golden lightning slightly moved, instantly, countless lightning bolts like silver snakes danced wildly, illuminating the entire old site of the Sky Sword Sect brightly, Heavenly Might suppressing all demonic evils.
