Chapter 1616: Chapter 1613: Mizuka’s Cunning Plan! (5 updates)

On this day, the Central Square of Starry Sky City gathered a hundred thousand people, all of whom excitedly watched the two warriors exchanging blows in the center.

But during the battle, one of the sword cultivators in the center knocked his opponent off the Martial Arts Stage, and said with a fist cupped in hand and a smile, "Conceded!"

"Damn it! Just a little bit more!" said the fallen warrior, infuriated.

And the sword cultivator on the stage was none other than Nie Xiong.

"Oh my, Nie Xiong is not to be underestimated; in just two days, he has defeated nearly three hundred warriors from the Seven Major Sects. None of the disciples from Saint Seal Sect and Donglan Sword Sect could compete with him!"

"Could it be that to defeat Nie Xiong, one must ask for the intervention of Yangshen Realm experts from the Major Sects?"

Not only Nie Xiong, but also the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain who previously took action, have almost been invincible... Heaven-reaching Sword Sect really picked up a treasure. If these seventy-two people break through to the Yangshen Realm in the Stars Secret Realm, the status of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect in Lingnan will surely rise exponentially!"

"Exactly, if these seventy-two break through to the Yangshen Realm, then the position of the number one sect in Lingnan Continent would no longer belong to the Saint Seal Sect!"

The bystanders watching the fight exclaimed in surprise.

The disciples of the Saint Seal Sect around them scoffed and looked at Nie Xiong with icy eyes.

Among the onlookers, Mizuka and Qi Xuan stood shoulder to shoulder, smilingly watching Nie Xiong in the center, and whispered, "It’s really unexpected, following Dongfang Bai, these seventy-two people have attained such profound mastery in the Sword Art!"

Qi Xuan said, "I didn’t expect it either, all these seventy-two people have cultivated their Realm of Comprehension to the middle stage, especially Nie Xiong, Luo Xuan, Li Chou, and Lei Yizhe, who have even reached the late stage."

Mizuka narrowed his eyes, his thin lips curling up with a trace of coldness: "These seventy-two people, if Dongfang Bai does not die, will sooner or later become a major threat to the Valley of Demons!"

"If they gain fortunes in the Stars Secret Realm and breakthrough to the Yangshen, it will be even harder to kill them."

Mizuka’s gaze was piercingly cold.

Qi Xuan said, "But what can be done? Although the Valley of Demons will enter the Stars Secret Realm, if Dongfang Bai joins forces with these seventy-two in the Stars Secret Realm, it might be very difficult to eliminate them all, even if the Valley of Demons fights to the death."

With a deep and meaningful look at Qi Xuan, Mizuka said lightly, "To kill them, why need to do it oneself?"

Qi Xuan asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Mizuka sneered, "You go and secretly kill all those who fought with the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain in the past few days! Remember, it must be done with Sword Skill, and the injury should be from inside to outside. Understand?"

Qi Xuan, still puzzled, asked, "Why so? If we want to kill them, it would be easy, but why use such a peculiar and weird Sword Skill?"

Mizuka chuckled lightly, "Just do as I say. Once you’ve killed them, the next steps will be handled by me!"

Although Qi Xuan still did not understand Mizuka’s intentions, he nodded slightly and agreed.

That night, almost all disciples from the Seven Major Sects who fought with the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain in recent days, died in their own courtyards without exception!

The next day, a shocking rumor spread across Starry Sky City!

"Have you heard? The Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain who recently sparred, left hidden injuries in their opponents. Those who were defeated by them all died explosively within three days of returning."

"I’ve heard it, I saw the corpses in the Saint Seal Sect myself, and those wounds indeed resulted from internal hidden injuries."

"Indeed, the disciples of the Fenxin Sect also had wounds like this; Sword Qi burst out from within their bodies, destroying their internal organs and meridians, and then they exploded and died a horrific death!"

"Hearing about this incident enraged the leadership of the Seven Major Sects... seeking trouble with the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Fairy Cave Mountain."

"Is that so?"

"..."

The fact that the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Fairy Cave Mountain left Sword Qi hidden inside others during sparring, which caused those warriors to die explosively after returning home to recuperate, swept through Starry Sky City like a storm.

One day, Nie Xiong and the other solemn-faced Seventy-two Swordsmen from Fairy Cave Mountain came to the outside of Lin Bai’s room and called softly, "Senior Brother Dongfang, are you still in closed-door cultivation?"

Lin Bai opened the door and seeing Nie Xiong and the others’ very ugly expressions, he asked in confusion, "Nie Xiong, Luo Xuan, Li Chou, why do you all look so awful? What happened?"

Nie Xiong and the other sword cultivators walked into Lin Bai’s courtyard and recounted the rumors circulating in Starry Sky City to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai’s brows immediately furrowed deeply, saying, "How could this happen? The warriors you fought with all died explosively in their own homes overnight?"

Nie Xiong, with widened eyes, said, "Yes, we didn’t expect this either, what exactly is going on?"

Lin Bai stared at Nie Xiong, asking, "Did you really leave Sword Qi in their bodies?"

Nie Xiong quickly said, "Senior Brother Dongfang, even if we were shameless, we wouldn’t resort to such despicable means. Moreover, if we really wanted to kill them, we would have taken action during the martial art competition at Starry Sky City!"

"Why bother making it so complicated!"

Luo Xuan also said, "Senior Brother Dongfang, we had defeated our opponents without leaving any hidden force, yet they suddenly died explosively, which was also shocking to us!"

Nie Xiong added, "The key issue is, now the whole thing is pointing towards us, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect... towards us..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai said indifferently, "It seems they are targeting us! Someone has set this trap against us!"

Nie Xiong and Luo Xuan also realized that someone was behind this incident, and immediately said coldly, "Exactly, I also suspect that this incident is targeted at us, but I just can’t figure out who would resort to such lowly means?"

Lin Bai paced back and forth in the courtyard, saying, "If this matter is really targeted at us, then what is the motive of the person who designed this?"

Nie Xiong and Luo Xuan were also at a loss for answers!

With such a big commotion over plotting against the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Fairy Cave Mountain, what exactly was their motive?

Just at that moment.

In the east section of Starry Sky City, particularly within the residential area of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, a thunderous noise erupted as a young man with the power to destroy heaven and earth burst into the east side, arriving above the residence of the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Fairy Cave Mountain!

"Seventy-two Swordsmen of Fairy Cave Mountain, get out here!"

A furious roar burst from the mouth of the young man, spreading out like rolling thunder!

Lin Bai and Nie Xiong, among others, looked up, and the young man standing arrogantly mid-air, his face full of rage, dressed in a green robe, his entire body radiating the powerful fluctuations of the Yangshen Realm!

Upon seeing him, Nie Xiong exclaimed: "The Saint of Fenxin Sect, Yang Changdong!"
