Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Lu Arrives

“Myriad Swords Return to Origin!”

Lin Qingzhi channeled the Taiqing Wuji Technique, his True Qi coalescing into ten thousand Spirit Swords, and in the fierce battle, he crossed levels to slay an elder from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons who was at the fourth layer of the Dao Palace Realm.

The Everlasting Verdant Body could temporarily draw upon nature’s spiritual energy gathered by trees, making prolonged combat advantageous for Lin Qingzhi, who possessed the Everlasting Verdant Body.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons elder was pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords and completely turned into fragments.

On another front, the junior brother Shen Xiaoyao wielded the Heaven Rank Swordsmanship “Ten Thousand Swords Art” to engage as best he could with an elder from the Dao Palace Realm of the Joyous Union Sect.

The third elder sister, Mo Huazhi, held the Heavenly Fox Divine Brush in her hand, dipping it in Xuanlong Huanmo ink, frantically writing on Heavenly Timber Paper with vigorous and forceful strokes, “A hall full of drunken guests with three thousand blossoms, a sword of frost cold chills fourteen states!”

Petals flew wildly into the air, the fragrance permeated everything, and the silhouette of a swordsman emerged.

The face of the Joyous Union Sect elder who was bullying Shen Xiaoyao changed dramatically.

He had fallen into the poetic magic of the Literary Sage.

With only Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, Shen Xiaoyao was no match for the Joyous Union Sect elder, but all he had to do was buy time for the third elder sister, allowing her enough time to frantically inscribe her verses.

Shen Xiaoyao revealed a sunny smile, “What a pity, you’re finished.”

The swordsman within the poetic magic struck, a chilling Sword Qi slashing forth, the world seemed to ice over, leaving the Joyous Union Sect elder with no place to flee, forced to watch helplessly as the Sword Qi approached.

When the Sword Qi passed, the Joyous Union Sect elder was cut in two.

“The third elder sister’s cultivation technique is truly beyond imagination…”

Shen Xiaoyao sheathed his Gentle Finger Sword.

The third elder sister’s technique differed from others, with the ability to turn illusion into reality.

“Let’s go back and reunite with Master.”

Both Mo Huazhi and Shen Xiaoyao had learned the Technique of Ten Thousand Li Tracking, sending out a wisp of Spiritual Energy, it was easy to locate the position of Lu Changsheng as well as the other brothers.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng had effortlessly dealt with an eighth-layer Dao Palace Realm elder from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons and tossed his corpse in front of Zhao Wuyan.

Zhao Wuyan was stupefied, the Dao Palace Realm eighth-layer elder from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons was dead, just like that?

“Zhao, this ‘Chiyang Pill’ is of seventh grade and can resolve the chill toxins.”

Lu Changsheng threw over a seventh-grade Elixir Pill, which Zhao Wuyan caught and hurriedly used to dissolve the chill toxin within his body.

After resolving the chill toxin, Zhao Wuyan was finally able to channel his cultivation technique, “Thanks to you, Lu, if you hadn’t arrived in time, I fear I would have been in severe trouble.”

“Where are the first elder brother, second elder brother, and Sister Murong and the others?”

“They fell into a trap by the Joyous Union Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, caught inside the Demon Sects’ Great Formation at Huosang Mountain. To my shame, I was delayed en route trying to flirt with a fairy from Hidden Dragon Temple. By the time I got to Huosang Mountain and saw everyone trapped, I immediately escaped to seek reinforcements but was then pursued by Demon Sects, unable to look after myself.”

Zhao Wuyan briefly recounted the events.

“That’s just like you.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t know whether Zhao Wuyan’s luck was good or bad.

“That’s the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons’ Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation. They plan to refine my first elder brother and the rest along with the entire Huosang Mountain. If we find people from the other sects and break the formation from the outside, we can relieve my elder brothers. But… it’s been three days already, I fear that by the time we get help, it will be too late.”

Zhao Wuyan, thinking of the predicament of Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, and the others, couldn’t help but worry.

“How many Supreme Elders from the Demon Sects have trapped the first elder brother and the rest?”

“Four Supreme Elders, as well as a group of Demon Sect disciples. Lu, don’t tell me you plan to take them on alone? That’s impossible, no matter what, you alone can’t oppose four Supreme Elders from the Demon Sects.”

“Both first elder brother and Sister Murong are in the Void Refinement Realm, their aptitudes are not lacking. As long as I disrupt the Great Formation from the outside, allowing them to break free, and we join forces, along with our other brothers, we will have enough strength to defeat them. If these four Supreme Elders from the Demon Sects were confident they could easily defeat the first elder brother and Sister Murong, they would not have set up a formation specifically to trap them.”

Lu Changsheng had no intention of fighting against four by himself. Both Li Changye and Murong Shi were at the first level of the Void Refinement Realm, and as peerless geniuses of the younger generation from Mount Shu, their combat abilities were not necessarily inferior to those of early-stage Void Refinement Realm elders from the Demon Sects.

As long as the sect masters of the four great Demon Sects did not show up, Lu Changsheng needn’t worry about any threat to his life.

“Master, Lian has returned. Phew, operating the Immortal Artifact really takes a lot of effort.”

After slaying an elder of the Joyous Union Sect at the fourth level of the Dao Palace realm, Lu Qinglian returned to regroup with Lu Changsheng.

She merely tested the power of the Immortal Instrument Holy Fire Immortal Ring, and with just one strike, the fourth level Dao Palace realm elder from the Joyous Union Sect was reduced to dust.

However, the Holy Fire Immortal Ring had depleted all of her Fire Lotus True Qi and she needed time to recover.

“The disciple has returned.”

Lin Qingzhi, Mo Huazhi, and Shen Xiaoyao also made their way back after each had slain an elder from the Demon Sects.

Zhao Wuyan was thoroughly shocked.

Were the disciples from Qingyun Peak about to surpass him, Zhao Wuyan?

“Let’s head to Huosang Mountain.”

Lu Changsheng made up his mind, determined to quickly relieve the people from Mount Shu of the siege to avoid unnecessary complications that could arise with more time.

He had yet to reveal the Immortal Sword “Blazing Extermination” he acquired in front of everyone. This was his trump card, and even when confronting supreme elders from the Demon Sects, Lu Changsheng felt confident.

“Lu, you… Never mind, we must trust Lu.”

Zhao Wuyan always felt that this move was too risky but seeing that Lu Changsheng was unwavering, he had no reason to be afraid.

Huosang Mountain was shrouded in a fearsome formation that slowly operated, spreading fire and poison, turning the mountain into a sea of fire, resembling a cauldron for alchemy.

The people from Mount Shu formed a formation within the Great Formation, resisting the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

The four supreme elders from the Demon Sects were positioned at the four corners, stimulating the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation, intent on refining the trapped people from Mount Shu along with the entire mountain.

“Li Changye, you young prodigies of Mount Shu will undoubtedly die today!”

“The Sect Leader of Mount Shu is being delayed by our Sect Master; you have no chance of survival!”

“The six major sects have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, obstructing our cultivation of Supreme Skills. It’s time they were utterly obliterated.”

The elders from the Joyous Union Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons watched excitedly as the Mount Shu formation inside the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation gradually began to disintegrate.

The Mount Shu formation was resisting the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation, but with four supreme elders and numerous other Demon Sect elders powering it, Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, Murong Shi, and others were hard-pressed to withstand it.

They had already held out for three days and nights.

“The Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation is a peerless malevolent formation that can refine even Void Refinement Realm experts. The odds are against us this time.”

Murong Shi’s lovely face was covered in beads of sweat.

The Mount Shu formation was on the brink of collapse, and the fire poison from the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation was eroding it, with Mount Shu’s elders and disciples inside feeling the dreadful power of the formation’s fire poison.

“We will not die here.”

Chen Yao, with her Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, desperately infused True Qi into the formation, hoping to reinforce it.

However, her True Qi was but a drop in the ocean.

“It’s no use; the two of us can’t counter the power of the four supreme elders from the Demon Sects.”

Li Changye and Murong Shi, with the highest cultivation levels at the first layer of the Void Refinement Realm, were the main pillars supporting the Mount Shu formation.

Suddenly, Li Changye felt a familiar presence and showed a look of surprise: “Everyone, don’t lose hope—Lu has arrived!”
