Chapter 158: Chapter 133: Demon Relics? (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Xuanzhou.

East River County, Cang County.

This area was once the territory of the Xuanming Sect, but after it was extinguished, it was incorporated into the area under the influence of the Divine Sword Sect.

After years of governance, the influence of the Xuanming Sect had been virtually eradicated.

Star Night Mountain Range, a long and narrow range spanning dozens of miles within Cang County, has become even more dangerous due to the mutated phenomena over the years causing frequent appearances of mystical beasts in the forests.

There are often attacks by these mystical beasts on human villages.

At this moment, deep within the Star Night Mountain Range at Qingping Ridge, in a valley shrouded in clouds and fog, green poisonous miasma pervades, and faint roars of beasts could be heard emanating from within.

On the perimeter, a large number of tents were erected.

A month ago, the Divine Sword Legion was dispatched to Xuanzhou under the pretext of training, stationed at Qingping Ridge of Star Night Mountain Range.

Thousands from the Divine Sword Legion had surrounded Qingping Ridge completely, making it impenetrable even to birds.

At this moment, on a higher terrain on a hillside, more than a dozen figures stood, all looking into that poison-filled valley with grave expressions.

Leading them were two Heavenly Persons from the Divine Sword Sect, Xiao Wendao and the Guiyi Peak Master, Hou Shuwen.

"Great Uncle Master, this is not working, the risk is simply too great."

Hou Shuwen said with a heavy heart.

Initially, they thought this ancient relic would be a great opportunity for the Divine Sword Sect, but they had not anticipated the risks to be so significant; they had already suffered heavy losses before even making entry.

"Indeed, the array and poisonous miasma outside are only the lesser worries, inside there’s a powerful Poison Beast, not to mention the internal situation..."

Xiao Wendao sighed.

Last time, Master of Martial Peak Xie Tiancheng volunteered to lead the team inside... however, they were almost completely annihilated under the attack of that Poison Beast, and only because Xie Tiancheng covered their retreat, fighting off the Poison Beast, did the survivors manage to escape, while Xie Tiancheng himself perished, with even his body unretrievable.

Moreover, those who escaped were also infected with intense poison, resulting in irreversible severe injuries.

"If only we could break the external array and disperse the poisonous miasma..."

Hou Shuwen said.

Due to the interference from the array, their Spiritual Perception was being disturbed, and the Poison Beast lurking in the dark could attack at any moment, making it impossible to guard against.

"The array masters of our Divine Sword Sect only know a little about it, unable to break it..."

Said Purple Lightning Peak Master Wanshenggu, who was beside him.

The Divine Sword Sect did have Array Masters, mainly for maintaining the arrays in the Sword Grinding Cave and the Sword Tomb... hence their level in array skills was quite poor, lacking the capability to break arrays.

Helplessly, knowledge regarding arrays was too scarce.

All martial arts forces hold on to their own knowledge dearly, it’s said that only the Imperial Family and the top three sects possess the most comprehensive array knowledge.

"Why don’t we ask the Imperial Family for support?"

Hou Shuwen suddenly suggested.

"If the Imperial Family gets involved... our Divine Sword Sect might end up with nothing but scraps."

Wanshenggu said.

"But in the current situation, we are completely unable to excavate this ancient relic."

Hou Shuwen said with a bitter smile.

Having lost a Peak Master and many martial arts experts, the loss for the Divine Sword Sect was already substantial.

To commit more forces into it, the consequences were unimaginable.

He had also tried going in before... ultimately had to retreat due to the disorderly Heaven and Earth Essence Qi inside disturbed by the array, even containing intense poison, which severely affected his advantages at the Heavenly Human Realm.

"Let’s wait a bit longer."

Xiao Wendao said solemnly.

To give up this ancient relic just like that, he was indeed reluctant.

"You stay and guard here; I will take a leave for a while."

He looked at Hou Shuwen, then his figure moved, soaring into the sky, flying off into the distance.

"What is Great Uncle Master going to do?"

Wanshenggu asked curiously.

"I don’t know."

Hou Shuwen was also puzzled.

Could it be that Great Uncle Master has some other method?

...

Chen Bell Platform.

Li Qian had just finished striking the bell and was seated cross-legged, holding the Sword Eighteen, contemplating the Heartless Sword Intent.

Although the comprehension of Sword Intent was extremely slow, he could not stop.

His cultivation now followed a very regular schedule.

Practicing the Heartless Sword Technique, understanding Heartless Sword Intent, cultivating the Great River Sword Qi, enhancing the Qi Blood Holy Realm, studying the Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution... His schedule was full.

After a considerable time, Li Qian finally opened his eyes.

He suddenly heard voices coming from below.

He got up, holding Sword Eighteen, and jumped down from the bell tower, only to see a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, bright and radiant, talking with Liu Ming.

"Uncle..."

Upon seeing Li Qian coming down, the girl hurriedly came forward to greet.

"Yuwei, what brings you here?"

Li Qian nodded.

This was Li Kun’s youngest daughter, Li Yuwei.

Previously, Li Qian had sent back a Soul Cleansing Demon Pill, which was used on Li Yuwei, thus her Root Bone was quite good, reaching the level of Low Grade Golden Bone. She passed last year’s Inner Sect trial and became an Inner Sect Disciple of Divine Sword Sect, taken in by an elder of the sect as a personal disciple.

"Uncle, grandfather is holding his sixtieth birthday celebration, I plan to return for a while."

Li Yuwei spoke softly. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

She was raised in a literate family, educated from a young age, and even after joining the Divine Sword Sect and becoming an Inner Sect Disciple to practice martial arts, she retained the demeanor of a lady from a respectable family.

"Sixty already?"

Li Qian was a bit surprised upon hearing this.

Unknowingly, another ten years had passed.

He remembered the last time he returned home, or rather the first time he returned to the Li Family, it was just in time for Li Donglin’s fiftieth birthday celebration.

"Yuwei, then take something back for me."

Li Qian said.

"Sure, Uncle."

Li Yuwei did not ask why her uncle wasn’t returning home himself.
