Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 146 - 146 145 Fallen

146: Chapter 145: Fallen?

146: Chapter 145: Fallen?

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the direction of Xuantian Sect, their burning desire undisguised.

Elder Duanmu and Elder Hua, among others, bombarded Murong Qianling with relentless questions, while Elder Xue stood to the side, his face dark with displeasure.

In the distance, the Ling Family elders nearly spat blood upon hearing the news, shaking uncontrollably.

“Prepare to receive Lin Xuan,” Elder Duanmu said in a heavy voice, “No matter what, we must ensure his safety!”

He knew that the inheritance was far too important; other powers might intervene.

Even if they wouldn’t act openly, they would surely make their move in secret.

The other elders nodded in agreement, also aware of the severity of the situation.

Everyone waited anxiously; the moment Lin Xuan appeared, a crowd would likely swarm him.

However, as time passed, the exit gradually faded and was about to disappear.

Lin Xuan’s figure still hadn’t emerged.

“Could he have perished inside?” someone gloated.

“Possibly, did you really think that acquiring Inheritance Martial Arts was so easy?” Many sneered secretly.

At Xuantian Sect, the elders were visibly anxious, questioning Murong Qianling and the others once again.

Elder Xue’s lips curled into a cold smirk as he said indifferently, “No need to wait any longer, the seal has closed!”

“A dead genius is nothing!

We needn’t trouble ourselves over him any longer.”

Everyone fell silent, while Murong Qianling and the others looked on in disbelief.

But no matter what, they were powerless to enter, only able to wait for the seal to be lifted again in seven years.

Other powers secretly breathed a sigh of relief; had Lin Xuan truly brought out the Inheritance Martial Arts, it would likely have caused chaos here.

With Lin Xuan’s talent, he would surely advance rapidly and might enter the Three Spirit Realms within a few years.

Combined with his monstrous Sword Intent, most people in Yunzhou would not be his match.

And Xuantian Sect would then stand above the Three Sects, becoming the overlord of Yunzhou.

This was a scenario everyone wished to avoid.

Apart from Xuantian Sect, the most sorrowful were the Ling Family elders.

Ten elite disciples had entered, and only one emerged, a fact they found unbearable.

Two Ling Family elders fainted on the spot, while several others trembled all over.

“Lin Xuan!” the group of elders ground their teeth.

From the surviving disciple, they learned the fall of the Ling Family Disciples was closely connected to Lin Xuan.

Originally, they planned to eliminate Lin Xuan, never expecting to be counter-killed by an “ant!”

Yet, with Lin Xuan not emerging, their frustration was palpable, with nowhere to vent their resentment.

“Let’s go!” Many forces began to depart one after another.

Elder Duanmu sighed, “Perhaps obtaining the Inheritance Martial Arts requires a great deal of time; maybe Lin Xuan is still alive.”

“It’s possible he will come out the next time it opens!”

The crowd fell silent, knowing this was merely a consolation – a possibility so minute it was almost non-existent.

Left with no other choice, the crowd waited another day before leaving.

Inside the Blood-colored Palace, the underwater world.

A giant octopus floated listlessly, its Essence Blood completely drained.

A bronze coffin hung nearby, shimmering with light.

Faint blue aura wafted in the air, gathering slowly, condensing into a humanoid form above.

A young man with azure hair materialized, his pale complexion matched with an eerie smile.

After moving his body, the azure-haired youth transformed into a ray of light, landing on the Array Platform below.

He emitted a light, and his figure vanished without a trace.

…

Space trembled and colors danced as a human shape appeared in the air.

Whoosh!

The figure landed, body trembling slightly.

It was Lin Xuan.

He rapidly circulated the Longevity Technique to alleviate the side effects of the teleportation,

And after a brief moment, he opened his eyes.

Soul Power spread out, and Lin Xuan carefully probed his surroundings.

This was a cave in the mountains, completely devoid of any human presence, desolate in the extreme.

Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief, then walked towards the outside.

Passing through the long tunnel, he emerged from the cave to be surrounded by towering mountains, with the occasional howl of a wolf breaking the silence.

“It seems I’m in the forest; I wonder if I’m still in Yunzhou?” Lin Xuan planned to first make his way out of the mountains before deciding on his next move.

Whoosh!

He turned into a streak of light, darting into the distance.

Green trees, blue mountains, and the splashing of water brought the boundless breath of nature rushing toward him.

Several figures moved quickly through the woods.

“Yu, the cave of the Demon Beast is just ahead; the Mo Ling Flower is there.”

“With the Mo Ling Flower, Master Hong will definitely make a move!” There was a hint of longing in the girl’s voice.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Five silhouettes sped forward and soon arrived at a cave entrance.

There, a purple plant with a black bloom – each petal glistening like ink-jade – grew.

“It really is the Mo Ling Flower!” The girl was thrilled, and she dashed forward eagerly.

“Wait!” A young man at her side grabbed her, “Don’t rush; deal with the trouble first.”

The girl seemed to understand, her expression becoming grave as her beautiful eyes focused on the cave entrance.

“Inside is a Silver Mist Beast, a top-tier Third-stage Demon Beast, said to be as strong as a Fourth-stage Demon Beast.

Be careful!” The handsome youth leading them cautioned the four behind him.

“Don’t worry, Brother Lan, if we join forces, we can slay a Third-stage Demon Beast!” The several youths expressed faith in ‘Brother Lan’.

“You set up the Sword Array, and I’ll lure it out,” the youth known as Brother Lan said cautiously.

The four stood at respective positions, holding longswords and forming Sword techniques with their hands.

Spiritual Power surged from their bodies into the ground, rapidly forming a complex pattern.

Seeing this, Brother Lan flipped his hand over and pulled out a piece of Ku Mu, setting it alight.

Thin wisps of blue smoke rose and diffused a strange scent towards the cave entrance.

Awoo!

Soon, an excited roar erupted from within the cave, followed by a silver figure flashing out.

Whoosh!

The silver afterimage lingered in the air as the massive creature arrived in front of everyone.

Boom!

Boom!

It landed, kicking up a cloud of dust, the ground trembling ceaselessly.

This odd Demon Beast had the body of a bull, the tail of a snake, and a head like a flower without facial features, but with five long stamens, writhing outside ceaselessly.

Each was several meters long, shimmering silver, and its body seemed as if it were forged from pure silver.

Sensing the peculiar smell in the air, the Silver Mist Beast, excited, vibrated its colorful petals nonstop, and its long stamens danced like Spiritual Snakes.

Brother Lan swept his longsword, and Sword Qi cut across the void, slashing toward the Silver Mist Beast.

Awoo!

The five petals opened up, emitting a thunderous roar.

Silver stamens coiled, like long spears, thrusting towards the airborne Sword Qi.

Brother Lan sneered and shouted low, “Burn!”

Red flames flickered upon the Sword Qi, burning fiercely.

Hiss!

Caught off guard, the Silver Mist Beast was scorched by the flames on the Sword Qi, letting out an enraged roar.

It leaped forward, its five long stamens turning into nimble whips, lashing out relentlessly.

Boom!

Brother Lan quickly retreated, drawing the Silver Mist Beast into the center of the four.

The next moment, the ground flashed, enveloping it.
