Chapter 387: Chapter 241: Instantly Killed with One Sword_2

As for the Netherworld Palace... the only ones who know about this are the Netherworld Hall Master and a few other high-level members.

Moreover... after this matter is concluded, the Netherworld Palace will surely take its cues from the Spiritual King Mansion.

The Luo Family.

"The entire Yiling Town is doomed."

Luo Xi, the great elder of the Luo Family, turned pale upon hearing the voice from the sky.

The news spoken from above was truly shocking to hear.

The Heavenly Sword Manor is one of the top forces in the Heavenly Spring Gobi, yet now it’s been destroyed, and this matter involves powerful entities like the Netherworld Palace, making it all too intricate.

For a small city-state like Yiling Town, a slight involvement means certain doom.

"Could it be that the one who saved Yiling Town long ago... was a strong individual from the Longevity Secret Realm of Heavenly Sword Manor?"

Another Great Saint level expert from the Song Family sighed, "Every drink and peck has its predetermined path; Yiling Town once survived because of that figure, but decades later, it will be destroyed again because of that figure..."

"Bury along with it?"

Li Qian sneered lightly, "Just with you few?"

"Hmph, though you are strong, the array you set up has now been broken, and you are trapped in our array. Now, you have no way to escape, accept your death."

The man in brocade clothes sneered.

Trapping the opponent with an array and having two above twenty-step Reversion experts and one nineteen-step Reversion expert on his side, the advantage was theirs?

"Alas, I originally intended to spare you, but you came seeking death yourselves, so don’t blame me."

Li Qian sighed.

He had even thought of ways to shake off their pursuit, but unexpectedly, their tracking methods were so effective, they still managed to find him.

They even directly entered Yiling Town.

But this is the Chen Bell Domain.

His home turf.

If they were outside the Chen Bell Domain, while he could manage them, to wipe them all out without leaving any escape opportunity would indeed be quite difficult.

Lin Qingping watched from the side, curiosity in her heart. Could it be that Daoist Qian Yuan really has the confidence to handle the enemy?

But now, the two of them are already in the enemy’s trapping array, equivalent to turning a familiar advantage into a disadvantage.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, I’ll hold them off, you...."

Lin Qingping suddenly transmitted.

"No need to worry, I can handle it."

Li Qian responded.

Just then, the large array enveloping Yiling Town abruptly changed, mist enveloped, making it seem like the void itself was shifting.

The Twelve Foundation Array Masters involved are versed in the path of space, able to affect the five senses and spiritual sense of those trapped within on a spatial level, resulting in a situation metaphorically like a confused ghost hitting a wall.

"Quickly finish the battle."

Li Qian absolutely wouldn’t give the enemy any chance.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and with a thought, he manipulated the Chen Bell.

Dong!

With a bell sound.

Suddenly, heaven and earth seemed to fall into silence.

This was the first time in over a hundred years that Li Qian used the true power of the Chen Bell within the Chen Bell Domain.

Of course, there was no need to use the strongest strike.

They didn’t deserve it.

At this moment, everyone within the Chen Bell Domain only felt their thoughts and consciousness sink into a void.

Simultaneously, the Chen Bell within the Daoist Temple suddenly vibrated, a golden light emerged, shooting into the sky, transforming into a gigantic Bell Shadow, enveloping several external Longevity Secret Realm experts and that Supreme Saint Level Array Master.

Li Qian took a deep breath, a Spirit Sword Embryo appeared in his palm.

"Kill!"

He silently commanded in his heart.

The Sword Embryo suddenly vibrated, like a Sword Ball jumping up and shooting out.

This Sword Ball was imbued with the terrifying Sword Dao Rhythm.

In an instant, the Sword Ball pierced through the forehead of the man in brocade.

Followed by the gray-robed mask, then the third, the fourth....

As for the Supreme Saint Level Array Master... his Primordial Spirit had already collapsed the moment the Chen Bell Sound rang.

Only experts of the Longevity Secret Realm could withstand the power of the Chen Bell Domain without being directly obliterated.

At this moment, the Sword Ball returned to Li Qian’s palm with five storage devices, then disappeared.

Fatigue showed in Li Qian’s eyes.

Utilizing the Sword Dao Rhythm, coupled with the previous strike containing astonishing spiritual power, still consumed quite a bit.

However... the effect was remarkable.

In a moment, he eradicated four Longevity Secret Realm experts.

Moreover, the storage devices from four Longevity Secret Realm experts and one Twelve Foundation Array Master were bound to hold significant spoils.

Just as the Sword Ball flew back, the Chen Bell Sound gradually faded, and the Bell Shadow ceased to exist.

The heavens and earth of Yiling Town seemed to return to normal.

The trapping array that originally enveloped Yiling Town also disappeared.

Those array flags, like giant pillars, quickly shrank and fell from the sky.

Falling along with them were five corpses.

As a master of the Longevity Secret Realm, Lin Qingping was the first to sense the falling corpses... Her face showed a trace of confusion, which then turned into shock.

Those four powerful masters of the Longevity Secret Realm, and a Twelve Foundation Array Master, had all turned into corpses.

What on earth just happened?

But she couldn’t remember anything.

Vaguely, she seemed to hear the sound of a bell.

She suddenly looked at Li Qian beside her, only to find him still composed, as if the fall of the four Longevity Secret Realm masters was as insignificant as four dead ants.

In that moment, she realized Li Qian’s power—he could annihilate four Longevity Secret Realm masters with a mere wave of his hand.

"Daoist Qian Yuan... you..."

She opened her mouth, speaking with difficulty.

But in the next moment, Li Qian’s face turned pale, his aura became chaotic, and his body swayed unsteadily.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Qingping hurriedly supported Li Qian.

"I’m just too exhausted."

Li Qian waved his hand, "I had no choice but to use a Forbidden Technique just now; I didn’t expect the cost to be so great."

"Qian Yuan, will there be any aftereffects?"

Lin Qingping asked worriedly.

If it affected Qian Yuan’s future cultivation because of her, that would be troublesome.

After all, she knew Qian Yuan was a prodigy with the potential of a Daozi Level.

"As long as I recuperate for a few years, it won’t be a big problem."

Li Qian waved his hand.

Of course, this was all an act.

After all, it involved some of his secrets, so he had to disguise it a bit.

"The problem now is, who exactly are these people?"

As he spoke, Li Qian waved his hand, and the five corpses and numerous array flags floated down, while five storage devices fell from the bodies into his hands.

These personal belongings would surely reveal their identities.

After a long while, having examined the storage devices, Li Qian’s brows furrowed tightly.

"Spiritual King Mansion, Xin Family of Tianya..."

Lin Qingping’s expression also grew heavy.

Among the four Longevity Secret Realm masters, three were from the Spiritual King Mansion of the Eternal Dynasty; the well-dressed man was the newly appointed Spirit King from the Spiritual King Mansion.

The other Longevity Secret Realm master and the Twelve Foundation Array Master were from the Tianya Xin Family of the Eternal Dynasty.

A Twelve Foundation Array Master is much rarer than an ordinary Longevity Secret Realm master.

It seemed the other Longevity Secret Realm master from the Xin Family was likely the bodyguard of this Twelve Foundation Array Master.

Whether it’s the Spiritual King Mansion or the Xin Family of Tianya, they are formidable forces that Heavenly Sword Manor cannot contend with.

Now that these two great forces had suffered such losses, they certainly wouldn’t let it go.

"Could it be that they are really working for that prince of the Eternal Royal Family, and that’s why they want to seize the Heavenly Sword Stele from our Heavenly Sword Manor?"

Lin Qingping murmured to herself.

"Not necessarily. If the prince wanted the Heavenly Sword Stele, why would these two forces be the ones to act?"

Li Qian shook his head.

If he remembered correctly, the one vying with Wen Wan for the position of Spirit King was indeed this well-dressed man.

But to think that this man would die by his hand today.

However, since he was killed, there’s no point in regretting it.

After all, they had already come to kill; should he concede and hand over Lin Qingping?

Moreover, since they died within the Chen Bell Domain, any traces they might have left could be concealed by the Chen Bell Domain.

Besides, when he activated the Chen Bell Domain, the people in Yiling Town didn’t react; they were still unaware of what had happened by the time he took down the five of them.

Under the array’s cover earlier, even Longevity Secret Realm experts were affected, and the strongest in Yiling Town were only pinnacle Great Saints, who wouldn’t notice anything.

So, as long as he sealed the news, he could minimize the impact of this incident.

By the time the Spiritual King Mansion and Xin Family of Tianya received the news, who knew when that would be?

Perhaps... these two great forces might not even dare to continue the investigation.

Even if they traced it to Yiling Town, so what?

If these two forces dared to come, he dared to bury them.

As long as it wasn’t the top-tier forces like the Eternal Royal Family, with the Chen Bell Domain, what did he have to fear?
