Chapter 606: Chapter 417: The Arrival of Qi Fortune! (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch Support from Haha I’m Here Too) _2

After chatting idly for two hours, Chen Yuan no longer lingered, as he was now somewhat eager to witness the eyes of the surviving Qingyun Sword Sect members filled with terror.

It would definitely be very interesting!

The day Chen Yuan left Qingzhou was the twenty-eighth day of the tenth month in the eighth year of Great Jin Jingtai!

…

…

Central State, Changshan Prefecture.

This place lies on the border of Central State, adjacent to Yang Province. It’s a rather large prefecture and also a key location, serving as one of the crucial prefectures that protect the Capital.

Unlike other state prefectures, Central State is relatively small in area, only half the size of Qingzhou, comprising five prefectures, with Changshan Prefecture being one of them.

The Capital is centered, with the other four prefectures encircling it.

Due to its critical location, the Heavenly Patrol Envoys of these four prefectures are all Dan Realm Masters; however, in terms of status, there’s still a significant gap between them and the Heavenly Core Golden Envoys stationed in the outer regions.

Now, within an abandoned, dilapidated temple outside of Changshan Prefecture City, more than a dozen young martial artists of varying attire seemed somewhat despondent and defeated.

Although their clothing varied and they looked no different from ordinary Jianghu martial artists, they all had one thing in common: they all wielded swords, either slung over their backs or tucked at their sides….

They were none other than the remnants of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

On the day of Xiao Yusheng’s death, Xiao Qingmu had felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart; filled with panic, she immediately went to the Ancestor Hall and then discovered that her father’s Soul Lamp had been extinguished.

She instantly knew that her father met his end, and grief and resentment filled Xiao Qingmu’s spirit. After a moment of stiffness, she recalled the words Xiao Yusheng had entrusted her with before he attempted to ambush Chen Yuan.

He had told her if she found his Soul Lamp put out, to immediately take some of the more talented disciples and resources, for the sake of one day resurrecting the Qingyun Sword Sect.

And so, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect had a tumultuous departure from Qingzhou. There were nearly thirty people initially, but most perished under various ambushes.

As of today, only a dozen or so of the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples remained.

The dozen or so disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, seemingly scattered in their standing positions, were actually forming a protective circle around a handsome, white-clothed young man.

This man, with a slender figure, carried a Spirit Sword, and his long hair was tied back, exhibiting the composure of someone unfazed even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him. His features, though not as handsome as Chen Yuan’s,

were definitely striking.

He was the highest in cultivation among these Qingyun Sword Sect disciples and was elected by the others as the eldest senior brother.

“Senior Brother Zhao, what exactly is Sister Xiao doing?”

Finally, a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect could not contain his curiosity and approached to ask quietly. Once he spoke, the other disciples’ gaze also gathered on Senior Brother Zhao.

Xiao Qingmu was the legitimate daughter of Sect Master Xiao Yusheng, and it was she who had led them away from the mountain ahead of time. In the eyes of everyone, she was regarded as the pillar of the group.

Now that she had been missing for nearly three days, although they had Senior Brother Zhao’s care, as time passed, a sense of unrest still pervaded them.

Of course, the main reason was that being hunted down was too difficult.

With one fellow disciple after another falling, their sense of security plummeted, fearing that they might be the next to die.

“Sister Xiao is seeking a way for us to live,” replied Senior Brother Zhao in a grave tone.

“A way to live!”

At these words, everyone’s eyes suddenly brightened, kindling a glimmer of hope.

In the midst of endless pursuit, they actually weren’t optimistic about their future, as the forces that had seized the Qingyun Sword Sect’s foundation and resources were the ones hunting them down.

To find a place to stand was immensely difficult.

They feared that once news spread, it would incite a siege.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes—it was just like that.

Hearing the words ‘a way to live,’ how could they not feel stirred?

“My fellow disciples, there is no need to worry. One day our Qingyun Sword Sect will return to Qingzhou, and then… it will be our day of vengeance. Demon Prison Sect, Iron Fist Sect, Chen Yuan… these people will all perish under our swords!”

“They will repent for their past sins!” Senior Brother Zhao spoke solemnly to the other disciples.

“Yes, under the leadership of Senior Brother Zhao, we will eventually rebuild the Qingyun Sword Sect!”

“Exactly, only Senior Brother Zhao is our hope!”

Two disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect immediately echoed in support.

Senior Brother Zhao smiled, glancing at the two and nodded slightly, as if praising their perspicacity.

His name was Zhao Deren. Originally, he was not particularly prominent within the Qingyun Sword Sect. Both Gu Hao and Wu Zongxian were stronger than him, placing him among the upper-middle echelon.

But now they were all dead!

In the land of the short, the slightly taller one stands out, and naturally, it fell to him.

Among the remaining disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, his cultivation was the highest and his strength the strongest. Who else but him for the future Sect Master’s position?

From the moment Xiao Qingmu led him down the mountain, Zhao Deren’s ambition began to rise, no, to be precise, it began to show when he had Wu Zongxian murdered in the shadows!

He wanted to obtain Xiao Qingmu and ascend to the position of Sect Master!

Wu Zongxian’s overreaching attempt to ambush Chen Yuan was his suggestion. There were many stumbling blocks on the road to becoming the Sect Master, but he was prepared to remove them one by one.

Wu Zongxian was merely the first among them.

As expected, Wu Zongxian eventually died at the hands of Chen Yuan, and the disciples who went with him were annihilated. Although the matter was not widely known in the Qingyun Sword Sect, he was well aware of it.

And because he had reported the incident to Xiao Qingmu halfway through, he was also excluded from suspicion.
