Chapter 1218 - 1216: Sword Demon and the Demon Sword!

Chapter 1218: Chapter 1216: Sword Demon and the Demon Sword!

Five beams of utmost light flashed, and five figures appeared atop the two Treasure Mountains!

These two Treasure Mountains originally had a large number of Spiritual Objects and Spiritual Medicine, but all were dug away by Lin Bai.

However, the only thing Lin Bai did not have time to excavate was the Divine Bone beneath these two mountains.

It was because Dugu Yun had appeared, otherwise, Lin Bai probably would have taken the Divine Bone as well.

At this moment, Lin Bai and his four companions arrived above the two mountains, looked down below, and saw a large number of Warriors gathered there. They turned their heads, and upon seeing Dugu Yun, Ye Wuhuan, and Lin Bai, their faces all showed expressions of terror.

"Saintess Your Highness, this is bad, the Sect Leader of the Miracle Ridge and the Saint have arrived."

A Warrior hastily ran into the Cave Mansion and shouted to Hua Yuxian and Zhao Longtu.

Hua Yuxian had just finished storing the Divine Bone and upon hearing this news, her complexion darkened, "They’ve returned so soon? According to the original plan, shouldn’t Miao Shang be holding out in the Fengyun Dynasty for over two months?"

"Why have the Sect Leader of the Miracle Ridge and the Saint returned after only about a month?"

Hua Yuxian’s face darkened.

Zhao Longtu’s expression was also quite unpleasant as he said, "Saintess Your Highness, there are no other paths to take from here. The only way to leave is to go through the front and face the Sect Leader of the Miracle Ridge and Lin Bai."

"If we do this, all the Dark Children that the Sacred Religion has planted in the Miracle Ridge will be exposed."

"This includes myself as well," Zhao Longtu said with a solemn expression.

According to the original plan, after helping Hua Yuxian obtain the Divine Bone, Zhao Longtu could continue to stay on the Miracle Ridge, acting as an insider, providing information to the Five Poison Sect.

But now, Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun had suddenly returned and surrounded the area. If Hua Yuxian and Zhao Longtu wanted to break through, they would have to confront Lin Bai and the others directly.

Hua Yuxian said, "We have no other choice! We must force our way out."

"Let’s go."

After making arrangements, Hua Yuxian left with Zhao Longtu and the Sword Demon.

Upon leaving the Cave Mansion, Hua Yuxian looked up at the five figures standing in mid-air and immediately smiled, "Dean Dugu Yun, Master Ye Wuhuan, shouldn’t you two be in Lingdong? What brings you back so suddenly?"

Dugu Yun said coldly, "Hua Yuxian, I truly did not expect you to be from the Five Poison Sect."

Ye Wuhuan looked at Zhao Longtu, who was by Hua Yuxian’s side, and narrowed his eyes, "Zhao Longtu, even you?"

Zhao Longtu sneered, "Ye Wuhuan, Dugu Yun, the Miracle Ridge is already like a grasshopper after autumn, with not many days left. You might as well make the right choice like me, submit to the Sacred Religion, and ensure a bright future for yourselves!"

Lin Bai looked at Hua Yuxian and the Sword Demon, and said with a faint smile, "It seems our guess was not wrong."

"The Five Poison Sect caused such a commotion in Lingdong merely to draw all the high-ranking officials of the Miracle Ridge out."

"Destroying all the Imperial Clans of the dynasties in Lingdong was to better draw the attention of the Miracle Ridge, so that it would focus on quelling the great chaos in Lingdong!"

"This way, the Miracle Ridge really wouldn’t expect the Five Poison Sect’s true target to be the Divine Bone!"

"Quite the scheme the Five Poison Sect has laid out, it must have taken quite the effort."

Lin Bai smiled faintly.

Hua Yuxian laughed, "Twenty years in the making, all for today."

Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan, and Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but marvel at how patient the Five Poison Sect was.

Twenty years, spending such a long time planning to obtain the Divine Bone!

"What exactly does the Five Poison Sect want to do with this Divine Bone?" Lin Bai asked at this moment.

Not only was Lin Bai curious, Bai Xiaoxiao, Jian Ruohan, Dugu Yun, and Ye Wuhuan were also very interested.

What does the Five Poison Sect plan to do with the Divine Bone?

"The Sacred Religion has its uses for the Divine Bone; we need not trouble Saint Lin Bai with our concerns," Hua Yuxian said lightly.

"You won’t speak? Fine, once I have captured you, I can force the answers out of you slowly."

Ye Wuhuan narrowed his eyes, and in an instant the power of the Flying Sky Realm surged through him as he struck at Hua Yuxian!

A palm print on the firmament.

Terrible power coalesced into a gigantic palm print that pressed down, shaking the Void.

Under this palm, even the face of Hua Yuxian turned pale.

"The Saintess must leave first; we’ll handle this place," said the Sword Demon as he stepped forward, pulling out a black blade from his Storage Bag.

As soon as the blade appeared, the Sword Demon slashed at Ye Wuhuan with it!

A fierce power shattered the heavens, breaking Ye Wuhuan’s palm print!

The Sword Demon should wield a sword, for he was a Sword Cultivator.

But here he was, producing a sword...

Seeing the blade in the Sword Demon’s hand, Lin Bai’s pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "The Demon Sword!"

The black blade in the Sword Demon’s hand was none other than the Demon Sword that had been sent flying by a punch from Giant God’s Intent!

At that time, Lin Bai had concluded that the Demon Sword had fallen deep within the Miracle Ridge.

Lin Bai had originally planned to search for the Demon Sword after leaving the Creation Divine Palace, but the affairs of Lingdong came too quickly, giving him no time to search for the Demon Sword!

Instead, Lin Bai now discovered that the Demon Sword had ended up in the hands of the Sword Demon.

Boom—

A torrent of black Sword Qi surged upwards, smashing through Ye Wuhuan’s palm print and simultaneously causing Ye Wuhuan’s face to blanch.

Seeing the Sword Demon intercept Ye Wuhuan, Hua Yuxian swiftly turned into a black streak of light, speeding towards the horizon, her velocity extreme, like a black spirit snake threading through the Void.

Ye Wuhuan hastily turned to look, exclaiming, "The movement technique secret from the Five Saints Mocking Heaven Scripture, the Extreme Dark Spirit Snake Flash...you truly are from the Five Poison Sect, and you must hold a high position in it, otherwise, how could you possibly cultivate the Five Saints Mocking Heaven Scripture?"

The Extreme Dark Spirit Snake Flash was a highly formidable movement technique from the Five Saints Mocking Heaven Scripture; once executed, not even those in the Flying Sky Realm could easily catch up.

Hua Yuxian activated her movement technique and rapidly left the area.

Meanwhile, the Sword Demon stood with other covert members of the Five Poison Sect, facing Ye Wuhuan and the others.

"I’ll go after that girl," said Dugu Yun as the guardian of the Divine Bone, naturally unwilling to let Hua Yuxian take the Divine Bone away from the Miracle Ridge.

Without another word, Dugu Yun immediately flew up in pursuit!

"Dugu Yun, stay where you are," said Zhao Longtu, with a cold laugh, as he swiftly stepped in to block Dugu Yun’s path.

"Saint Lin Bai, do you still recognize this old man?" Just then, a shadow of a person appeared before Lin Bai, smiling coldly at him.

Lin Bai looked on, his eyes turning frigid.

"Hehe, Saint Lin Bai, isn’t it time you gave up your life for my two poor grandsons?" laughed the old man coldly as he unveiled his cloak, revealing a face twisted with maniacal laughter.

The old man, with disheveled hair and a wild smile at the corner of his mouth, eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty intent, was the very picture of a lunatic!

"The Director of the Fist Daoist Courtyard!"

Lin Bai said coldly, "So even you are a member of the Five Poison Sect!"
