Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 447 - 457: Entering the Main Pulse

Chapter 447: Chapter 457: Entering the Main Pulse

Pu Li and the others also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

At this critical juncture, the Vermilion Bird Emperor made his appearance, saving their lives.

Now, those who need to worry about their safety are not them, but the Panlong Heavenly Emperor with his overwhelming demonic might.

As for the death of Qin Keren, Pu Li and the others merely felt regret.

However, Elder Shoumei and several of his disciples were each stricken with immense grief. Elder Shoumei, in particular, was in tears, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Qin Keren was like a daughter to him, not only beautiful but also filial to her mentor and caring towards her fellow brothers and sisters. Her talents in both Swordsmanship and Alchemy Dao were also commendable.

If she had not met with such an early demise, she could have become at least a Sword Saint Level powerhouse in the future.

"Let’s move quickly, whether it’s the Vermilion Bird Emperor or the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, we can’t afford to provoke either." As the Sect Master, Pu Li was in overall command and responsible for all the sect members.

Although he harbored hatred towards the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, he did not dare to confront him due to the vast difference in strength.

Otherwise, it would be a road to death and not the act of the wise.

The masters from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country have already engaged with the forces of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

The Phoenix was truly fearsome; a single breath of fierce flames created a sea of fire below, instantly annihilating four divine beings who served under the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

However, the Sword Gods under the Panlong Heavenly Emperor were also loyal.

They swore to protect him to the death as he escaped.

In the blink of an eye, Panlong Heavenly Emperor had already fled to a very distant place.

The Vermilion Bird Emperor seemed to hold a deep hatred for him, grinding his teeth as he pursued on the Phoenix.

...

"Master Pu, wait!"

The Beixie National Master arrived rapidly on Sword Flight, holding someone in his arms.

The person he was holding was Chu Feng, who had already lost consciousness.

"What has happened to Chu Feng?" This mass relocation of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was predominantly for the sake of Chu Feng.

Anyone could fall into misfortune, but Chu Feng must not come to harm.

"My Lord was severely stimulated, his nature greatly changed, completely out of control. I was worried he would fight to the death with the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, so in desperate times, I had no choice but to knock him out!" said the Beixie National Master with a helpless expression.

"So that’s what happened!" Pu Li let out another sigh of relief.

"Sect Master, have you forgotten that Chu Feng was afflicted by the Ancient Horn Sore Demon’s Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique? Suffering from the severe shock of Qin Keren’s death, I fear the Devil Thought has already consumed his heart, and we must quickly think of a solution," warned Elder Ge Qing, full of concern.

"Otherwise, if too much time passes, he might completely turn into a demon. By then, he will not recognize family or friends, his original mind extinguished, becoming a monster who knows only slaughter!"

Hearing this, Han Xiaoying and the others gathered around anxiously. They all watched their husband with nervous expressions.

"Let’s not worry about that for now; we’ll make a decision when we get to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect Main Lineage!"

Having been terrorized by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, Pu Li feared any mishaps and dared not delay any longer. He immediately led everyone, protecting the unconscious Chu Feng, and rushed toward the Ten Thousand Sword Sect Main Lineage at the fastest speed.

...

Five hours later, as dusk approached, Pu Li and the others finally arrived at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect Main Lineage.

During this period, no one from the main pulse came out to meet them, let alone sending masters to protect and support them.

Not even the most ordinary disciple was dispatched.

With the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s vast influence on the Divine Martial Continent, they must have known about the Dan State Branch coming to join them. The main pulse showed no response.

Such cold, arrogant attitude was truly disheartening.

"We are approaching the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage! Once here, it’s not like being in Dan State. Everyone must try to keep a low profile and absolutely avoid causing trouble," Master Pu warned everyone.

More than two hundred people were on the journey, with over twenty lost.

The most heartbreaking loss was the death of two Supreme Elders. They were Sword God Level powerhouses, whose voices would definitely carry weight even in the Divine Martial Continent.

At the very least, they could have provided the best protection for the disciples of the Dan State Branch.

Now, only Elders Ge Qing and Hei Dimo remain, which inevitably seems a bit lonely in power.

One would expect the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage to be established atop scenic green hills and clear waters. Unexpectedly, there lies a grand city ahead, naturally defended by a great river.

In the depths of the large city, one can vaguely see the towering Xiong Mountain standing between heaven and earth.

Around that mountain are several spire-like peaks, encircling it. From a distance, they look like divine sword weapons standing between heaven and earth.

This is the origin of the name Wan Jian Sect (Ten Thousand Swords).

"Sect Master, are you sure that is the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage ahead? It looks like a city of a mortal kingdom!" Zang Jianfeng, a True Disciple of the sect, remarked, though it was his first visit to the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage.

In fact, this was his first time leaving Dan State.

"I have been here several times before; how could I be mistaken!"

"The Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage has a million disciples, not to mention their families, and Sword Slaves, among others; the number is even higher. It wouldn’t be strange if it exceeded ten million people."

Master Pu looked at the vast city in front of him with a hint of pride in his voice, as well as a deep yearning.

In his early years, he aspired to make the Dan State Branch as strong as the Main Lineage.

Alas, reality is too harsh. Not only are there too many constraints, but the Wan Jian Sect has never had anyone who could comprehend the crucial Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, limiting the Dan State Branch to dominate only the Dan State North Territory.

Dominance over the entire Dan State is still far away.

"Let’s enter the city first!"

Master Pu led the way, while the unconscious Chu Feng was arranged to be on a horse carriage, looked after by his two fiancees.

Many male disciples from various sects are extremely envious of Chu Feng’s fortune with the ladies.

"What do you want?"

Several disciples in grey robes of the Wan Jian Sect flew up and blocked the way.

To enter the city, they must first cross the great river.

If one can’t perform Sword Flight, this Iron Chain Bridge that lies across the river and leads directly into the city is the only pathway.

Its surface is laid with wooden planks, each iron chain as thick as an adult’s leg.

Even driving a horse carriage over it would not be a problem.

Nearly ten million people live in the city, and the daily consumption needs amount to an extremely large figure. Everything is transported over this Iron Chain Bridge.

However, for easy management and to not affect the sect disciples’ movements, the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage has stipulated that from one to five o’clock in the early morning, these two hours are dedicated to transporting goods.

All goods must be transported into the city during this time.

Now it’s almost evening, and disciples returning to the sect have mostly already come back. Therefore, the bridge appears very calm.

Yet in the guard post next to the bridge, ten disciples still stand guard.

Those who are unrelated and wish to enter are immediately stopped.

"I am Master Pu Li, the Sect Master of the Wan Jian Sect’s Dan State Branch. Currently, our Dan State Branch is facing a great calamity, so I’m leading our sect’s core disciples to seek refuge with the Main Lineage. I beseech my junior brothers to allow us passage into the city," Master Pu pleaded.

Although Master Pu is a Peak Sword Saint, he spoke with such politeness to these ordinary disciples with only Great Sword Master Cultivation, humbling himself to the lowest level.
