Chapter 867: Kunlun Ruins in An Uproar!
In Kunlun Ruins, other than the three sects and four groups, the 12 ancient clans had the most powerful heritage.
The Xiao clan ranked first among the 12 ancient clans.
As a result, the news quickly spread the moment the clan was destroyed.
The entire Kunlun Ruins was in shock.
“What? The Xiao clan was actually destroyed?!”
“How is this possible? The Xiao clan’s patriarch Xiao Wuming was an Emperor Stage cultivator! Who can kill him if the supreme giants didn’t attack him?!”
“Could it be that some supreme giants had made a move?”
At this moment, many forces in the entire Kunlun Ruins were shocked. They discussed this matter and frantically inquired about the truth.
“Not only did this person kill the Pseudo Emperor Stage Elder Zhu of the Witchcraft Sect directly, he even killed Sword Sect’s Elder Sword Specter!”
“What…”
“Why does this person possess such combat strength and courage? After all, his actions are equivalent to offending both the Witchcraft Sect and Sword Sect. Both of them are supreme sects of Kunlun Ruins!”
At that moment, earth-shattering news spread like thunder across the Kunlun Ruins.
“The person who destroyed Xiao clan is called Ye Chen and Mad Southern Ye. He’s not from the Kunlun Ruins, but the secular world!”
“Before that, he was still a peak martial venerable. However, in just a few days, he managed to break through to the Emperor Stage!”
“I heard that before the Xiao clan’s patriarch died, he said that the ghost ship back then led to the three immortal mountains, and this Mad Southern Ye seems to have been to the immortal mountains!”
The entire Kunlun was in an uproar.
The ghost ship was already an open secret in the Kunlun Ruins. Over the years, many people had secretly investigated the secular world, but they did not discover anything. As time passed, they chose to forget about it.
Now that they heard this heavy piece of news, they could not help but begin to suspect if the end of the ghost ship was really as the Xiao clan’s patriarch had said, the three legendary immortal mountains?
It was hard to believe, but how could Ye Chen, a person from the secular world, elevated from an ordinary person to an Emperor Stage cultivator? After all, an Emperor Stage cultivator was considered a top-notch powerhouse in the Kunlun Ruins.
At this moment, the Bai clan’s patriarch, one of the 12 ancient clans, stepped forward to reveal the truth.
Ye Chen had indeed entered the ghost ship. Moreover, he was devoured by the black fog outside the ship. All these years, Ye Chen was the only one who broke the curse of the black fog. He must have discovered the secret of the ship.
The entire Kunlun was shaken by the Bai clan patriarch’s words, and many people had no choice but to believe him.
“Even though this Mad Southern Ye has never been to the three legendary immortal mountains, he must’ve discovered the secret of the ghost ship. That’s why his power increased so much!”
“That’s right. If we knew the secret, doesn’t that mean that our strength will improve as well?”
All of a sudden, Ye Chen was the talk of the entire Kunlun Ruins. Countless forces moved upon hearing the news as they searched frantically for Ye Chen’s whereabouts.
…
In the far west of Kunlun Ruins, the headquarters of the Witchcraft Sect, a man with a holy fire in his hand and a ferocious mask suddenly descended on the Witchcraft Sect, “Pass down the orders of the vice sect master!”
Boom…
At that moment, all the powerful figures of the sect knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “We accept your order!”
“Our Witchcraft Sect has stood in the Kunlun Ruins for more than a thousand years. Our power has shaken the entire place. But now, Sainte An Miaoyi is dead, and Elder Zhu is dead!
“What does this mean to the prestige of the sect? We have to find out who killed the Sainte and retrieve Mad Southern Ye’s head!”
After saying that, a hunchbacked old woman with a walking stick staggered out and coughed, “This humble one accepts the order!”
…
At the Sword Sect’s First Peak, a beautiful figure hastily ran towards the peak. When she was about to arrive at the abode on the peak, two true disciples suddenly appeared.
“Halt!”
Hearing those words, the beautiful figure’s face could not help but turn cold, “Move aside, I want to see my brother. I have news for him!”
A black clothed true disciple cracked a smile and said slowly, “So it’s Junior Sister Youwei. You came at the wrong time. Eldest Senior Brother left to carry out a mission three days ago, he isn’t in the sect.”
“What did you say? My brother went out?”
The beautiful figure thought that she had heard wrongly. Then, she said angrily, “My brother is really too much. His battle with Wushuang is imminent. Why is he running around instead of focusing on his cultivation?”
“Junior Sister Youwei is being too serious!”
Another true disciple chuckled and said proudly, “How can that brat from the Ninth Peak be Eldest Senior Brother’s match? Don’t forget that he was suppressed by Eldest Senior Brother two months ago.”
“That’s right. It’s only been two months. No matter how hard that kid cultivates, he can’t possibly be Eldest Senior Brother’s match!” The black-robed true disciple laughed disdainfully.
…
At the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak, under the cold spring, Gu Quan and the other two knelt on one knee respectfully. From time to time, they would raise their heads to look at the blue-robed Daoist master meditating above the cold spring. Their eyes were filled with anxiety.
A few seconds later, the young Hua Ling finally could not hold it in any longer, “Elder Qing Xuan, where did Youngest Junior Brother go? Just tell us so we won’t have to worry.”
The Daoist master in green opened his eyes slowly after he said that. He sighed softly and said, “Are you guys here for the news of Mad Southern Ye destroying the Xiao clan?”
“Yes, yes!”
Hua Ling immediately said, “Youngest Junior Brother’s big brother is too powerful. He even killed the Xiao clan’s patriarch. Doesn’t that mean he has the strength to protect Youngest Junior Brother?”
“That’s right, Elder Qing Xuan!”
Even Eldest Senior Brother Gu Quan could not help but say, “Youngest Junior Brother’s senior brother is definitely at the Emperor Stage. If he appears, the life and death battle between Youngest Junior Brother and Su Qilin might be avoided.”
“Too late, everything is too late!”
Elder Qing Xuan shook his head and looked at the incomplete Ninth Peak, “Wushuang has entered the Sword Forest!”
“What?”
Gu Quan and the other two were instantly shocked, “Sword Forest? Youngest Junior Brother actually went to Sword Forest?”
“Elder Qing Xuan, what are you thinking? How could you let Youngest Junior Brother go to such a dangerous place…” Hua Ling immediately cried.
Before the previous peak master of the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak passed away, he was worried that his passing would cause the Ninth Peak to fall into desolation, and the inheritance would be seized and replaced in the end.
That was why before he died, he had cut off the middle part of Ninth Peak and used a great divinity to turn it into a Sword Forest.
He sealed all the supreme martial tactics of the Ninth Peak within, including his comprehension of Sword Dao.
After so many years, no one had been able to break through the seal.
Even the other eight peaks had failed. The Sword Forest truly contained the Sword Dao comprehension of the previous peak master. Any living person who entered would be attacked by the sword intent.
This was also the reason why the number of talents in the Ninth Peak dwindled.
That was why Gu Quan and the other two were so shocked when they heard Elder Qing Xuan say that Ye Wushuang entered the Sword Forest.
Faced with Hua Ling’s complaints, Elder Qing Xuan smiled slightly. His smile revealed too much helplessness.
“This is Wushuang’s choice!
“It’s also the Ninth Peak’s choice…”
