The Ancient China Zone.
Somewhere in the back mountain of the Clear Void Sect, immortal fog interweaved and multicolored light rose. Occasionally, cranes and birds flew across the sky, and golden carps jumped in the water.
Under an ancient pine tree that looked like an umbrella, two figures were sitting opposite each other. In front of them was a chessboard. On the chessboard were black and white chess pieces, and they were already in a state of anxiety.
One of them was wearing a purple robe. He was the Supreme Headmaster of the Purple Cloud Sect.
The person playing chess with him was the sect master of the Clear Void Sect, Perfected Qingxu.
Perfected Qingxu observed the chessboard carefully. After a while, he sighed and said,""What a clever move. With Fellow Daoist Zi Yun's move, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to save him.”
"I just happened to see this step.”
Sage Zi Yun smiled.
He picked up the spiritual tea on the stone platform beside him and was about to take a sip. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed. He heard a jade token hanging on his waist crack like ice and then shatter into pieces.
Something had happened!
Sage Zi Yun's expression changed drastically.
This jade token was made from a type of crystal called Twin Fish. Once one of these Twin Fish died, the other would immediately die at the same time, no matter how far away it was. Therefore, if one of the crystals was used to make a jade token, the other would immediately shatter.
He had one with him, and the other one was with the Purple Cloud Sect's Great Elder. This kind of jade token would not be used unless it was a critical moment. Now that it was broken, it meant that something big had happened to the Purple Cloud Sect!
"If something happens to the sect, I'll leave first.”
As soon as Sage Zi Yun finished speaking, he had already driven a beam of light and directly broke through the sky. He streaked across the sky in an arc of light and flew in the direction of the Purple Cloud Sect.
Perfected Qingxu was slightly stunned when he saw this. His eyes revealed a trace of seriousness. He quickly stood up and transmitted a message to the sect elder, saying,"All of you guard the sect tightly. I'll make a trip to the Purple Cloud Sect.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
He also rode on a streak of light and flew away.
The Clear Void Sect was not far from the Purple Cloud Sect. The two sects had been on good terms for generations and often visited each other. Although it was not far, it was still thousands of miles away!
A Daoist Master of Jindan Stage could travel a hundred miles with a single thought, and a distance of ten thousand miles could be crossed in less than two hours. Therefore, Daoist Master Zi Yun often came to the Qingxu Sect as a guest and was not very worried about the sect's matters. This was because he could return in half a day, and the Qingxu Sect Master would also assist him.
Thus, although the Purple Cloud Sect and the Clear Void Sect weren't powerful sects in the Ancient China Continent, they were still on the same side, so no one was willing to provoke them.
But something big had happened today!
Someone attacked the Purple Cloud Sect?
Or…was there a problem with the earth vein?
Sage Zi Yun's expression was extremely solemn. It would be fine if someone attacked. Even he himself could not break the protective array of the Purple Cloud Sect in a short time. He would definitely be able to return in time. If he was not able to make it in time, it meant that the attacker's cultivation was extraordinary. Even if he was there, it might be useless.
However, if the latter was the case, then it would be a huge problem. This was because the earth vein was within the Purple Cloud Sect and not the outside world, especially when there was a great demon suppressed below.
Although the demon was restrained by the Eight Extremities Earth-Binding Shackles and could not be destroyed, if he took advantage of the shaking of the earth vein to stir up trouble, it could cause great damage to the Purple Cloud Sect!
Without a Golden Core to hold the fort, no one could suppress it!
Even though the formation wouldn't be able to destroy the Purple Cloud Sect, the losses would be significant.
Thinking of this…
Daoist Master Zi Yun could not help but sigh in his heart. The Purple Cloud Sect had declined even more in his generation. In its heyday, there were three Golden Cores overseeing it. However, he was the only one in this generation. The burden of the entire sect was on his shoulders. It was really tiring.
The purple light traveled quickly in the sky. After a while, Sage Zi Yun saw the situation of the sect. He could see that the sect's protective array was still intact. He was relieved, but he was more serious.
Since the Protective Mountain Array was intact, it could only be that there was a problem with the earth vein!
Swoosh!
He flew into the forbidden valley on the back of the mountain. His spiritual sense quickly swept through the forbidden area, and his eyes suddenly changed.
The array formation in the forbidden valley had been destroyed!
He did not hesitate.
Sage Zi Yun dived straight into the forbidden grounds of the secluded valley and reached the bottom. He could see that the depths of the forbidden grounds of the secluded valley were already in a mess.
The bones of the sect masters and grand elders of the previous generation had disappeared without a trace. Even the cliffs on both sides had been destroyed.
One of the Eight Extremities Earthbinding Shackles was broken!
Seeing that one of the Eight Extremities Earthbinding Shackles had been broken, Sage Zi Yun's heart thumped.
Oh no!
If it was just the earth vein turbulence and the big demon stirring up trouble, it would not be too bad if the Eight Extremes Earthbinding Shackles were intact. However, with one of the Eight Extremes Earthbinding Shackles broken, the remaining seven could not completely restrain the big demon!
If a Gold Core demon escaped…even he would find it difficult to deal with it!
However…
When Sage Zi Yun's spiritual will swept across the earth vein, he was stunned to find that the great demon was lying on the earth vein, breathing in and out spiritual energy. There was no sign of it wreaking havoc.
A trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, Sage Zi Yun summoned a flag and hung it above his head. Then, he entered the earth vein and came before the big demon to investigate.
As he probed, his mind trembled!
"This…this…how could this be!”
Sage Zi Yun was shocked.
He could sense that the blue-eyed demon's body and soul were intact, but its mind and will had been completely destroyed. It was in a state of chaos, without any will!
When he carefully examined it, he found that there was still a bit of Soaring Cloud Sword Intent left in the blue-eyed demon's heart. It pierced straight into his heart, causing him to tremble!
Slay the heart, not the soul!
What kind of sword was this? What a terrifying sword!
Just as Daoist Zi Yun was in shock, a voice transmission came from the outside world. It was the voice transmission of the Purple Cloud Sect's First Elder. He quickly reported what had happened in the sect.
"A sword that comes out of the ground and goes straight to the top of the clouds?”
When Perfected Zi Yun heard this, he was extremely shocked.
This was definitely the means of a Perfected Swordsman, and it was not an ordinary Perfected Swordsman. There was actually a Perfected Swordsman hidden in the secluded valley forbidden area!
However, how could this be? He had come to the forbidden area of the secluded valley several times to check the situation of the earth vein. He clearly knew that many of the sect seniors here had already passed away. Could it be that one of them was between life and death, and he did not investigate in detail out of courtesy, so he did not notice it?
It was unbelievable.
However, there seemed to be only one explanation. Perhaps someone had infiltrated the Purple Cloud Sect and sneaked into the forbidden area. However, this situation was even more difficult to understand.
"Is Fellow Daoist here?"
With this thought in mind, Sage Zi Yun bowed to the earth vein, but he did not receive a response.
He scanned the surroundings but didn't sense any signs of life. Finally, he exhaled and said,""Whether you are a senior of our sect or a guest from afar, the seventh generation sect master of the Purple Cloud Sect is here to thank you.”
There was still no response to his words. Reverend Zi Yun finally shook his head and looked at the great demon whose mind had been destroyed.
If it was a senior of the sect, it would be fine.
If he was a guest from afar, such a terrifying sword technique would truly be shocking. It seemed that it would be best for him not to go out again and stay in the sect safely.
