182 - When Shadows Stand in the Light (6)
As soon as the transaction was completed, his team of shadows was deployed towards the Ye Sect. The inn remained peaceful, just as it was when he arrived and now that he left.
Quick, soundless footsteps with speed no mortal eye could catch. They were all trained assassins with similar or higher strength than Ye Hua, and thus, aside from the times verbal orders were necessary, their group made no sounds or unnecessary movements.
Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered a group of men emitting bloodlust. Without a word, the masked assassins nearest to them disposed of them, reaping lives with every hit of their short swords. There was no order, but it wasn’t one that needed a verbal order in the first place.
185 - They Are Finally Out! (1)Little Yin was embarrassed, but she knew better than to delay time by explaining the ins and outs of the situation towards the husband of the body she’s currently borrowing.However, Ye Hua was stubborn.In this scenario, it would be faster for Little Yin to ignore Ye Hua and simply let the young man silently escort her.“Xuan’er…?”Ye Hua was bothered by his wife’s strange behavior, but regardless, she was someone he trusts. Thus, he sighed in defeat.“I won’t ask questions now,” he relented, but he put a special emphasis on the word ‘now’.
186 - They Are Finally Out! (2)This miracle was created thanks to Little Yin’s original knowledge as well as the advantage she gained from having Yun Yang’s two hundred years worth of memories. It allowed Little Yin to combine the ancient laws she knew together with the foundation of this mortal realm.At the basic level, the natives of Ancient Xia Continent could only use runes to attract the spiritual energy in the area around them with limited range. It was the usage of the laws of the world to control the qi and embed them on a physical object as its core.It was like using fuel to make a vehicle move. By themselves, the fuel and the vehicle would not be able to function, even if a person were to shout or kneel before them in worship. Understanding the fundamentals as well as the cause and effect were neces
187 - They Are Finally Out! (3)Inside the Main Peak…A single sword could be seen swinging slowly in one little corner inside the barrier surrounding the Main Peak.A lone sword cultivator was executing the dreary repetitive actions of stabbing, cutting and blocking, using a bamboo practice sword that anyone trapped alongside him could crush with a single finger.However, nobody looked down on that cultivator and his sword.What is a sword?Everyone observing the man had different ideas about a sword, yet in front of him, they felt like he was becoming a sword himself.A sword that cuts everything in his way.

189 - Outside Ye Sect (1)At the first sign of communications being cut off, the army that was resting in the palace of the territory lord of the Northern Mei was mobilized towards the Ye Sect of the first-tier Leaf City.Although there was no order coming from the Purple Plumed General, her subordinates were competent and decisive enough to act on their own, willing to shoulder blame and responsibility in her absence.And that decisiveness proved to be a correct decision.“The Hua Troop, deal with the first and second sector! The Namgoong Troop, follow behind me! The rest, advance!”For Rao Aimin, the vice-leader of the battalion under the Purple Plumed General, her advantage was in her technique, experience, and c
190 - Outside Ye Sect (2)After reading the contents of the scroll, Rao Aimin’s cold face twisted in anger.“These demonic bastards!”In addition to Leaf City, two more cities were seemingly isolated all at the same time, making three of the eight first-tier cities within the Northern Mei territory unreachable, cutting off communications within the city lords and the army. Worse, even the people from the imperial capital could not be reached despite the usage of the highest level thousand-mile communication talismans. It was as if powder kegs exploded all over the Qing Blessed Land.‘The moment they realized the Qing Clan noticed their existence, they immediately launched their plan ahead of plan, not even giving us breathing room.’
191 - Outside Ye Sect (3)Tapping on the four gates surrounding the walled city as marked on the map, Rao Aimin quickly started delegating tasks. She knew that time was of great essence at this point, as the faster the army moved, the more innocent lives would be spared from the wanton slaughter of the enemies.“We have three main objectives: first, to stabilize the situation by rounding up the demonic practitioners with the help of the local cultivators fighting within the city. Two, to get the main troop to enter the Ye Sect with utmost efficiency, and three, to secure the safety of the Purple Plumed General and her party.“The captains, lead your squadrons to pierce through the enemies scattered within Leaf City so that the main troop can head towards the Ye Sect unimpeded. As communication talismans wo
192 - Outside Ye Sect (4)Many buildings within Leaf City were ruined as an aftermath of the fight between cultivators. Though the local soldiers under the City Lord Manor and the members of the small sects and guilds were trying their best to protect the civilians, many of them were too low-level to protect their own necks, much less repel the enemies while looking out for ordinary people.It would take at least ten peak-level Body Washing Realm cultivators to handle a single early Foundational Spirit Realm practitioner, and at least fifteen if the said Foundational Spirit Realm practitioner was a sword cultivator.What more the crazy bunch of demonic cultivators?The demonic cultivators only comprised a small percentage of those who walked the Dao of the Blood and Destru
