Chapter 135 Sword Sect's Journey

The top of a towering ancient tree, 300 meters tall.

Wang Yu looked at the cultivators climbing high places with suspicion. They were all dressed in the same clothes and with the same accessories, so there was no doubt that they came from the same faction.

Their cultivation level is generally in the mid to late stage of Qi Refining.

The leader was a male cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, with a mustache, flowing robes, and a blue crown, making him easily recognizable.

"More than two hundred people... what are they looking for?"

In principle, he didn't want to come into contact with these people, but they were too close to the cave where he was in seclusion, so he had no choice but to come out and take a look.

After thinking it over, Wang Yu gave up his curiosity.

He turned and bypassed the area where the disciples were active, preparing to cultivate in another place, not wanting any accidents to happen at the last moment.

If it doesn't concern me, I'll stay out of it.

Now is not the time for curiosity.

However, life is unpredictable. On his way back to the cave to pack his belongings, a moon-white sword light suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What kind of fellow Daoist are you, and why are you sneaking around here spying on us?"

The voice was pure, but the tone was unpleasant.

However, his aura was genuinely at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and he could even see through the invisibility technique at a glance, so he was no ordinary person.

Wang Yu's heart sank, and he had no choice but to deactivate the invisibility spell.

“Fellow Daoist, this is my secluded cultivation place. Since such a commotion has suddenly occurred, I naturally have to come out and see.”

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Wang, have you always lived here?"

A gentle breeze suddenly swept across the moon-white longsword, and a tall, slender woman with graceful curves appeared in the blink of an eye.

Her jade-like feet were adorned with embroidered shoes, her legs were plump yet straight and long, one foot resting firmly on the hilt of her sword, her gaze looking upwards.

She wore a moon-colored gauze dress adorned with lotus flower patterns, revealing half of her fair and delicate shoulders. Her slender neck was covered in frost, and her fragrance wafted through the air, making one unable to help but admire her. She was truly a peerless beauty.

Her features were veiled in mist, a kind of masking magic, so her true appearance could not be seen. But just by looking at her overall appearance, one could tell that she was not bad-looking.

Wang Yu's second brother was temporarily unable to stand up and found it difficult to have such thoughts, so he just glanced at it indifferently and didn't feel anything.

“Fellow Daoist, I, Wang, have lived here for several years and rarely go out. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to my cave for a look. What do you say?”

Wang felt he was experienced enough to back down.

There's nothing shameful about being forced to act against one's will.

"Very well, since we have nothing else to do, it would be best if Fellow Daoist Wang could prove himself."

"However, let me make this clear from the start: Fellow Daoist, your aura doesn't seem like that of a good person. If you deceive Changxi, the Sword Sect will definitely ask you for some pointers on its methods."

A blatant threat, but Sword Sect Walker? Wang Yu wasn't stupid. Before coming, he had learned a bit about the situation in the Taihu cultivation world. He didn't know the details, but he did know a little about the Sword Sect Walker.

"Fellow Daoist Chang, please."

Wang Yu touched his left arm; after his breakthrough, he had reattached the Divine Corpse Arm.

In the realm of the righteous path, corpse refining and ghost summoning are considered unorthodox practices. Although they are not prohibited, few people practice them because those who enter this path are easily led astray.

This is also related to the overall environment of the Taihu Spiritual Realm. Without corresponding cultivation resources and markets, cultivators who accidentally step into this path are prone to developing evil thoughts and evil practices.

Therefore, although not prohibited, they are discriminated against and regarded as potential criminals.

The aura of death emanating from his left arm was quite obvious, and it was impossible for Changxi, who could see through his invisibility technique, to hide it.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come out.

But that's not realistic.

Left with no other choice, they could only lead the way and try to gather information along the way.

"Fellow Daoist Chang, the Sword Sect has suddenly sent so many people. Has something happened outside? Or has some rare treasure been born here?"

Changxi frowned and stared at Wang Yu warily.

"you do not know?"

"I don't know."

Silence again.

After a long while, instead of answering Wang Yu's question immediately, she continued to ask questions, wanting to confirm his identity.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, would you mind telling me where the Immortal Realm is and what sect you belong to? If I can confirm your identity, I will tell you the information you want to know, how about it?"

"Can."

Wang Yu nodded. He was a native of the Taihu Spiritual Domain, with impeccable lineage, so there was nothing he couldn't say; he could simply change the order slightly.

"My name is Wang Yu. I come from a small town thousands of miles away called Shihu. Fellow Daoist, you probably haven't heard of it. On the day of the Spirit Test decades ago, I was framed by a villain and sold to the Crimson Kite Demon Realm as a spirit slave."

"Wait... a spirit slave?"

"yes."

"Go on."

Changxi's eyes were strange. She had mastered one of the seventy-two techniques of the Heavenly Void Sword Sect, the "Secret Record of Sword Heart Clarity," which was a top-tier secret technique for refining immortality.

While she lacks the skill to discern truth from falsehood and read people's hearts, she can easily see through a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This secret manual can not only help her hone her divine sense but also aid in her sword cultivation.

In her eyes, Wang Yu was like a human-shaped furnace of evil energy.

He was shrouded in the aura of death, his body was gray with a hint of black, and he carried a faint trace of death. His vigorous blood and energy lacked the normal heat and masculinity, instead it was cold and malevolent, unlike that of a good person.

Although he was exceptionally handsome, he possessed characteristics that set him apart from ordinary people.

His silver-white hair added to his sinister aura.

Wang Yu had no way of knowing what this Sword Sect practitioner thought of him, but circumstances were beyond his control, and his greatest strength was his ability to read the room.

Then he began to tell the story honestly.

Wang Yu didn't need to hide anything about the part that happened in the Taihu Spirit Realm; he could just tell the truth. But the story that happened in the Chiyuan Demon Realm was something he started to fabricate.

"After the spirit test, on the way to the Crimson Kite Demon Realm, shortly after passing Black Mountain Pass, Wang encountered a group of vicious people who killed those demon cultivators and escorted us to a mountain stronghold."

"That village, located on the other side of the Black Mountain Demon Land, is called 'Black Wind Village.' I, Wang, was forced to cultivate the Life-Burning Demon Art to create spiritual sand for those cultivators who were undergoing tribulations..."

After fabricating a whole bunch of nonsense, Wang Yu sighed.

"After some fortuitous encounters, Wang ventured across the Black Mountain Demon Land and obtained some rare treasures and opportunities. He recently broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage using a body-refining technique and was planning to go to Shihu City to find his relatives when he met you, fellow Daoist."

Changxi couldn't discern the truth from the falsehood of this experience, but she had the intelligence network of the Tianxu Sword Sect under her command.

While accompanying Wang Yu to the cave, he used communication methods to have his subordinates investigate the Wang family in Shihu City and verify their identities, which would take some time.

Thus, the two remained silent on their way to the crevice cave.

soon.

As the crater came into view, we arrived at our destination.

"This is the place, fellow Daoist, please."

Wang Yu deliberately removed the Eight Directions Bewitching Array he had set up in front of her, slightly allaying her doubts.

Inside the cave, the stone chamber where Wang Wu was trained had been destroyed by him; only the small pool he had dug during his breakthrough remained in the open space.

Changxi circled around several times, scanning the area with her divine sense, but found nothing wrong. There were indeed signs that the place had been inhabited for several years.
