Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 505 - 505 504 Capturing the Criminal

505: Chapter 504: Capturing the Criminal 505: Chapter 504: Capturing the Criminal According to the information he had gathered, the Lost Land would typically remain open for half a year.

He had entered just as it had opened, so there was ample time.

He planned to first enhance his strength so that he would have greater confidence when it came time to seize the Great Dragon Sword.

While Lin Xuan was enhancing his strength, in another area of the Lost Land, a purple-clothed woman suddenly stopped.

With a wave of her jade hand, dozens of Jade Tokens appeared in front of her, two of which were shattered in the middle and had become dim and lightless.

Around the purple-clothed girl were five or six people who were also shocked by the scene.

“This isn’t possible, Xu Qing and Wang Qi are actually dead!”

“Who killed them?

Could it be the Divine Bird Palace?”

“I don’t know, but whoever dares to kill members of our Lanyue Sect, apart from the Divine Bird Palace and the Divine Sword Manor, no one else would have the guts, even if they had the capability.”

“Search!

We must find out for certain, and bring back the murderer!”

The purple-clothed woman’s face was cold with anger.

Whoever dared to kill a Lanyue Sect Disciple would pay a bloody price!

She was truly enraged.

Their Lanyue Sect was a six-star sect, with strength at its peak, and usually, no one dared to provoke them.

Even the Divine Bird Palace and Divine Sword Manor wouldn’t normally kill their members, making this situation very peculiar.

The group quickly mobilized, and soon found the place where Xu Qing and Wang Qi had been killed.

Xu Qing had been reduced to a pulp, making it impossible to discern any wounds, but judging from Wang Qi’s injuries, the killer was likely a swordsman with formidable strength.

“Could it really be someone from the Divine Sword Manor?”

“I don’t know, but it seems Wang Qi wasn’t able to ***** before he died, so the opponent must be a ruthless person.”

“Collect some of the surrounding aura,” the lead purple-clothed woman said.

Beside her, a girl in a black dress nodded and then summoned a spotted bird from her Storage Bag.

The palm-sized spotted bird hovered nearby, as if sensing something.

Before long, it let out a series of chirps and then fluttered its wings, pointing in a particular direction.

“We found it,” the girl in the black dress said.

“You three go and capture the murderer.”

“Remember, only success is acceptable, not failure!” the purple-clothed woman said coldly.

“Don’t worry, Sister Yu, we will definitely bring the murderer back!”

The girl in the black dress and two other youths rapidly set off, following the petal-like bird towards the distance.

…

Inside a cave, Lin Xuan, having enhanced his Cultivation, did not immediately leave.

He wanted to properly consolidate his strength.

Recently, his Cultivation had progressed rapidly, and he had mastered quite a few ultimate moves.

However, sometimes faster wasn’t better; he needed to properly accumulate and settle these abilities.

First was the Black Dragon Flame; he wanted to comprehend the Fire Intent Realm, and that required effort on the Black Dragon Flame.

Moreover, his current use of Black Dragon Flame was too simplistic, not fully unleashing its power.

Fortunately, he had Lord of Wine, an experienced and peerless expert.

Lin Xuan quickly learned various flame techniques from Lord of Wine.

Then he sat cross-legged, and, with his fingers fluttering, tufts of black flames appeared at his fingertips.

Following his intentions, these flames continually changed shape.

Finally, the Black Dragon Flame pulsated, forming a small black dragon that slithered between his palms.

Suddenly, the temperature inside the cave soared, and the fire attribute Spiritual Energy in the air trembled in response, resonating with it.

It seemed as though it could freely command that Fire Element Spiritual Energy.

This feeling was very mysterious, having surpassed the control of Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists, reaching the level of Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists.

Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artists only rudimentarily use Spiritual Power, but once reaching Spirit Transformation, one can unify with nature’s spiritual energy to transform into various attacks.

However, at Spirit Communication Realm, one could use a singular type of Spiritual Energy, like Fire Attribute Martial Artists who could mobilize only Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy without affecting other types of Spiritual Energy.

This greatly enhanced the power of their moves.

Lin Xuan didn’t expect that he could advance to this new realm ahead of time.

After that, he practiced the Black Dragon Flame even more diligently, striving to grasp the Fire Intent Realm as soon as possible.

Finally, he studied the Divine Sword Visualization Map.

Having experienced the Great Success Sword Intent, Lin Xuan developed a deeper desire in his heart.

If he could reach the Great Success Sword Intent, his strength would leap forward qualitatively.

However, achieving Great Success Sword Intent was not easy, he needed to thoroughly understand it.

Although the Divine Sword Visualization Map was simple in style, it was incredibly profound, and Lin Xuan gained new insights every time he contemplated it.

Three days later, Lin Xuan retracted his soul and opened his eyes.

His cultivation had basically stabilized, and there would be no changes; continuing to meditate and reflect would no longer yield much effect.

What he needed now was some practical experience.

Without delay, Lin Xuan immediately left the cave and ran deep into the forest.

Not long after he left, three figures landed outside the cave.

“Nobody’s here, looks like he’s already gone,” a young man said after scouting around.

“Hmph!

Lucky him, but he definitely can’t escape our grasp!” the black-dressed girl coldly snorted.

After that, she spurred the spotted bird again to continue the pursuit.

The three moved swiftly and disappeared in front of the cave again.

…

Lin Xuan raced along, using the Snow White Monkey’s Treasure Bowl to search for spiritual medicine.

But soon, he sensed three strong auras approaching from behind.

Swoosh!

He executed the Void Spirit Illusion Demon Step, leaving a residual image in his original place and quickly hid himself.

At that moment, the sound of breaking air came from behind, and three figures rapidly approached.

Leading them was the black-dressed girl, circled overhead by a spotted bird.

To the left was a muscular young man wearing a sleeveless shirt, with blue starlight patterns tattooed on his arms.

The young man on the right had short, red-eyed hair and wore two short daggers at his waist, his expression fierce.

The two young men were of Spirit Communication Realm cultivation, and the girl in the middle was at the limit of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The trio together emitted a terrifying aura.

“Eh?”

Lin Xuan concentrated and noticed a mark similar to Xu Qing’s on all three individuals.

“People from the Moon Embracing Pavilion, they actually found us so quickly?” Lin Xuan’s pupils shrank.

He quickly moved away, his speed pushed to the extreme.

The three individuals were very powerful, especially the two young men, who were much stronger than Xu Qing.

“Hmph, trying to run!”

The black-dressed girl controlled the spotted bird, chasing rapidly, with the two young men also showing cruel smiles beside her.

“Such a late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm weakling!”

To think he dared to kill a disciple of the Lanyue Sect, he must have used some unsightly tricks!

The short-haired, red-eyed young man snorted.

The trio quickly closed in on Lin Xuan.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A blue starlight descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Xuan.

Instantly, a screen of light lit up, covering the area like a cage.

“Boy, you killed someone of my Moon Embracing Pavilion and still think you can run!”

First, I’ll cripple your legs, then take you back for punishment.

The muscular man approached with large strides, emitting a terrifying aura.

At that moment, the figure inside the cage suddenly dimmed and eventually disappeared.

“Residual image?”

“No good!” the black-dressed girl exclaimed.
