Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 647 - 647 646 Sword Rain Frenzy 1

647: Chapter 646 Sword Rain Frenzy 1 647: Chapter 646 Sword Rain Frenzy 1 These three Daoists, respectively, came from the Wu Sect, Qi Sect, and Zhou Sect.

It’s easy to understand why the Daoist from the Wu Sect was willing to help him, but it was strange why the Daoists from the Qi and Zhou Sects would offer a hand without a second thought, leaving no time to ponder too much about it.

For a drowning man, every straw is precious.

With the help of these few Daoists, they successfully contacted a group of volunteers in Divine City, consisting of idle people from various Daoist Sects wandering in Divine City, then they also drew in a batch of Daoists from the South An and, once the framework was set up, businesses specializing in Geng Ore mining saw that Li Laixiang seemed to have regained life, so they supported a group of Loose Cultivators as well.

This is the origin of their team, half-official and half-civilian in nature, taking advantage of the reputation of the military officers in Zhongqing City using Li Laixiang’s name.

They had been staying at White Fungus Mountain for some time now, firstly waiting for more acquaintances, and secondly to determine the next course of action.

There were some differing opinions, primarily focusing on whether to attack Dragon River Water Clan or to directly assault the Capital Commandant’s residence in Zhongqing City.

Although Li Laixiang was still nominally a central army officer and a leader, his actual status had long been marginalized, and no one was willing to listen to him; he also tactfully remained silent.

On a silent night, tossing and turning in bed, I stood in a mountain pavilion, looking at the myriad stars, my mind filled with tumultuous thoughts.

Under the cover of night, three figures approached him; without looking, Li Laixiang was clear on who had arrived.

“Li Daoist, do you still insist on directly targeting the Capital Commandant’s residence?

Such a proposal might be suspected of mixing personal grievances with public interests,” the Zhou Sect Daoist said eerily from behind.

Li Laixiang was very calm, “It’s just a suggestion; I don’t think that person will obediently wait in the Dragon River Water Clan for us to knock on his door.”

The Qi Sect Daoist was very curious, “Tell us, what kind of person is he, and what is his strength like?”

Li Laixiang chuckled, “If I really understood his character, I wouldn’t be in such a total defeat; after more than a year of contact, I only know that the man is greedy, lustful, sly as a fox, without any limit—not at all like the traditional Sword Cultivators of the Shan Sect.

As for his strength, I haven’t had the chance to verify, and I do not wish to verify it either.”

The Wu Sect Daoist snorted coldly, “This person is very strong, once challenged over ten elite Daoists in the Lizhi Sea by himself, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to hold the position of the Capital Commandant.”

The Qi Sect Daoist laughed loudly, “There must be a limit, right?

How many of those Cultivators in the Lizhi Sea are truly elite?

Within the Jinxiu Continent’s Tongtian Realm Cultivators, there’s talk of twelve constellations; does he count as one of them?”

Each realm has its legendary figures, with all kinds of bizarre nicknames that are widespread, but nobody takes them too seriously.

However, in recent years, the Jinxiu Continent has been different; the entire Cultivation World holds veiled expectations for changes in the world of the Continent; individual intuition might be disregarded, but when it’s a consensus among the Daoist of the entire Cultivation World, it’s something you cannot take lightly.

Therefore, this batch of Tongtian Realm True Disciples, once every sixty years, have been under special scrutiny because it’s very possible that among them, there could emerge individuals who will pierce through the heavens in the future.

This batch of True Inheritors is indeed exceptional, containing many heroic figures of astonishing talent, not easily accessible.

Due to Jinxiu Continent’s aspiration to reach Outer Space, these leading figures of the Tongtian Realm are named after stars from beyond the cosmos.

They include the Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Kui Star, Heavenly Machine Star, Heavenly Gang Star, Heavenly Purple Star, Heavenly Punishment Star; the Buddhist Sect’s Heavenly Zen Star, Heavenly Silence Star, Heavenly Pure Star; the Demon Sect and its affiliated sects’ Sirius, Heavenly Scorpion Star; and from the mountains of the Outer Sea the Heavenly Lonely Star, Heavenly Sea Star—a total of twelve people.

The selection of these individuals is complicated, generally believed to be the work of the Southeastern Heavenly Heart Pavilion and the Southwestern Taihao Sect, two sects with a focus on divination and astrology, both mysterious mid-tier powers renowned for their unique skills in divination, making their predictive foresight highly revered within the Cultivation Realm of the Continent.

These individuals are basically the True Disciples of their respective Sects, and in combination with their reputations, accomplishments, strength, and the background of their Sects’ heritage, among other factors, they were promoted as the next generation of predominant figures of the Continent.

It might not be comprehensive or entirely accurate, but it’s generally on point; the Jinxiu Cultivation Realm does not subscribe to the idea of lying low until making a sensational debut—the notion of not soaring until ready to ascend to great heights.

How else could one become a True Disciple, how else to carve out one’s future in cultivation?

Bound by Heaven and Earth Chains, Cultivators must demonstrate their exceptional abilities within the Tongtian Realm; that’s a prerequisite.

“I remember the Shan Sect Quanzhen’s True Disciple is Sirius Duan Wuqian, right?” the Zhou Sect Daoist inquired.

The Wu Sect Daoist proudly smiled, “What of it?

This Hou Niao is not even a True Disciple, and his strength is limited.

I have a relationship with Brother Tang from my Sect; we often practice together, and I’m quite capable too.

Should I encounter that Sword Cultivator, I’ll handle him myself.”

Brother Tang is the Wu Sect’s top True Disciple, none other than the Heavenly Kui Star on the list.

The Wu Sect Daoist’s remark here is self-aggrandizing; he did intersect with Brother Tang, but it was more than a decade ago, and the so-called “capable” part was an overstatement, purely saving face.

The other two Daoists were well-aware of the Wu Sect Daoist’s bravado, and the Qi Sect Daoist was not to be outdone,

“What a coincidence, in my early years, I was guided by Elder Changsun; I have made some progress in recent years.

I’m curious to see what remarkable abilities this audacious Sword Cultivator possesses?”

Elder Changsun is the Qi Sect’s top True Disciple, his strength unfathomable, rumored to have few defeats even against Golden Core adversaries, suppressing his realm in wait for this period’s Spiritual Green from Outer Space, revered as the Heavenly Machine Star.

The Zhou Sect Daoist smirked; he had no tall tales to boast since the Zhou Sect’s True Disciple wasn’t listed among the twelve stars.

However, he was aware of the abilities of his two companions, and he was on par with them.

Why then must they boast and strut based on their Sect’s power?

What was the point?

The reason these three incited Li Laixiang to seek revenge was that they harbored their own ulterior motives, which they preferred to keep to themselves.

The best way to go about this was to find a suitable pretext, such as, restarting the Geng Ore trade route?

They had used such pretexts to win the support of many hot-blooded Cultivators, and of course, with the backing of major merchants and even covert support from the Wu Sect.

As to how exactly they would proceed, there was no mature plan yet, but the principle was to repay blood with blood; otherwise, negotiations were futile.

Targeting the Dragon River Water Clan was a good objective, less challenging, easier to achieve victory, and after raising everyone’s spirits, they would then measure the Sword Cultivators.

This was the general plan of action.

The group harbored different designs, each playing their own game under the vast night sky, a collection of humans yearning to become one of the stars.

The Wu Sect Daoist found it odd, “Why do the stars seem unusually numerous tonight?”

Li Laixiang sighed, “Yes, these stars can also kill!”
