Divine Sword Sect, main peak.

The group walked among the magnificent palaces and pavilions.

The person at the head of the group was broad and stout, and his pure white Taoist robe, though flowing, somehow made him look bulky.

The fat elder held a whisk

He looked at the people beside him with a displeased expression.

These men were dressed in long robes with black backgrounds and red patterns, and were led by a bald, burly man.

The bald, burly man had a vertical scar on his eyebrow, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

They are the Blood Fiend Sect delegation.

The purpose of this trip is to claim ownership of an ancient secret realm that was discovered three months ago at the border of Qingyun and Liangzhou.

Half of that secret realm is located in Qingzhou, right between the Divine Sword Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect.

The other half landed within the territory of Yunzhou.

Currently, only the Divine Sword Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect know about this ancient secret realm.

The two families have never gotten along.

The two sides have been enemies for three thousand years, with countless conflicts.

Even several Nascent Soul cultivators perished.

However, in order to prevent sects within Yunzhou from interfering.

The two companies had no choice but to grit their teeth and explore together.

The Blood Fiend Sect then sent this group of people.

Discuss the charter for joint exploration.

They insisted on having 60% of the exploration rights because the Blood Fiend Sect had discovered the secret realm first.

The Divine Sword Sect insists on a 50/50 split because many of the secret realms are located within its territory.

After a thorough exchange of opinions.

No agreement was reached between the two sides.

In the end, I decided to settle things with my own hands!

Each sent someone to go.

Take as much as you can!

After the talks concluded, in accordance with the customs of hospitality among sects, the visiting delegation was invited to tour the sect grounds.

The fat elder was unfortunately chosen to accompany the Blood Fiend Sect on their tour of the Divine Sword Sect.

The fat elder's face was gloomy.

The sect leader assigned him two very important tasks.

The first point is very simple.

We must not allow the Blood Fiend Sect members to trespass.

There's naturally no problem with that.

The Blood Fiend Sect only sent one Nascent Soul stage cultivator to lead the team this time.

As a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, keeping an eye on this group of people was a piece of cake for him.

The second point is the difficult one!

Shen Jiantian solemnly declared that this trip was to intimidate the Blood Fiend Sect!

knock!

How to deter them?

Would giving them a good beating count as a deterrent?

I noticed that the fat elder looked unwell.

The bald elder leading the Blood Fiend Sect team forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and asked, "Elder Zhou, I heard that Xia Anyu has already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Xia Anyu, the number one talent of the Divine Sword Sect in this generation, has naturally always been under the watchful eyes of the Blood Fiend Sect.

"Don't ask so many questions."

The fat elder's voice was flat.

My heart skipped a beat!

It will only take Xia Anyu a month to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

The sect kept this matter a secret and prevented it from being spread.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Fiend Sect still found out.

"Elder Zhou, that secret realm can only be entered by those below the Nascent Soul stage."

"Xia Anyu has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Who does your sect plan to send to lead the team into the secret realm this time? Leng Chen?"

The bald elder spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if he had a sure thing in mind, and continued.

"I advise your sect to consider accepting our conditions. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out within the secret realm, magic has no eyes, and I'm afraid your sect won't be able to withstand it."

The bald elder's smug look infuriated the fat elder, making his teeth itch with rage!

"Hmph, our sect is full of talented people, so you don't need to worry about us!"

"So many talented people are emerging, hahaha!"

The bald man kept laughing out loud whenever he heard a funny joke.

"Besides Xia Anyu, what other talented individuals does your clan possess? Could you tell me about them?"

"My Blood Fiend Sect is not very capable. This generation has 600 Golden Core disciples, 10 of whom have reached the upper grade of the Golden Core stage, and 2 of whom have reached the highest grade."

"How many high-grade Dan cultivators does your sect have?"

The fat elder's forehead creased with black lines.

The bald man really hit a nerve with the Divine Sword Sect.

The talent pool of the Divine Sword Sect has indeed been declining with each generation.

If it weren't for Xia Anyu's unexpected appearance.

The Divine Sword Sect has only three disciples of the upper-grade Core Formation level in this generation.

The gap between the two sides is a full three times!

Seeing that Elder Zhou was unable to speak due to the pressure.

The bald elder said in a cheeky tone, "Elder Zhou, there's no need to keep this kind of information a secret."

Every word hits home.

This caused Elder Zhou's chubby face to turn pale and then purple.

"I think we should just beat them up."

Just as the fat elder was pondering whether or not to beat up this foul-mouthed bald man...

Rumble, rumble.

Thunder rumbled like animal-hide drums, echoing throughout the entire Divine Sword Sect!

Everyone looked toward the direction from which the sound came.

Sword Valley!

In the direction of Sword Valley, thunder roared and lightning danced wildly, transforming the sky into a rolling sea of ​​lightning.

It's like the end of the world!

The Blood Fiend Sect disciples who accompanied them had never seen such a sight before.

What is that?

"What a terrifying celestial phenomenon!"

"Has the Divine Sword Sect been punished by heaven?"

The smug look on the bald elder's face instantly turned into a blank stare.

He stared blankly at the sea of ​​lightning in the distant sky, muttering, "Thunder tribulation, it's thunder tribulation, someone is undergoing tribulation..."

Sword Valley.

I felt that familiar flutter in my heart.

Chen Tianwen gritted his teeth and roared, "Shameless Heavenly Tribulation, ambushing me, a mere cultivator not yet twenty years old!"

At this moment, his mind was completely focused on the golden core.

If we give up now, the golden core will sink into the dantian, and all our efforts will be in vain!

"Get up there!"

He roared, supporting the golden core as it rose step by step.

Rumble!

The heavenly tribulation had been brewing for some time.

Amidst the churning sea of ​​lightning, a golden bolt of lightning flashed.

Golden tribulation lightning surged within the tribulation clouds, expanding to several meters in diameter in a short time.
