As night falls, it is like a huge and thick black curtain that silently and tightly covers the entire sky.

The skyline, which originally had a faint glow, was now completely swallowed up by the dark night and disappeared without a trace.

There are seven or eight powerful forces entrenched in the Yin Ancient Treasure Land of the Hehuan Sect, forming a small alliance.

The Lingjian Sect is one of them.

In the Lingjian Sect, Sect Master Liu Jiang was practicing in silence with several elders.

"This ancient Yin treasure land has strong Yin energy, which is just right for sword cultivators like us to hone our physical strength."

"If we can keep occupying it, maybe we can really become a top force."

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, a white light flashed across the sky and a light emerged on the body of an elder.

His body refining realm has broken through.

The elders sitting around still felt this breath, opened their eyes and stopped practicing.

"Great Elder, has your body refining achieved a breakthrough?"

An elder in a high position among the crowd couldn't help but ask

"good."

The great elder Meng Jiang, who was wrapped in white light, nodded heavily.

After getting the answer, the elders' eyes suddenly brightened, as if they saw hope.

"Really? The body refining actually broke through."

"Hahaha... I wonder who will dare to look down on the physical bodies of us sword cultivators in the future?"

"It is indeed a treasured place of Yin Ancient. It is really useful for body training, cultivation, or other unorthodox practices."

The sound of sighing filled the area, causing Sect Leader Liu Jiang, who was absorbing Yin energy deep inside, to stop involuntarily.

Yellow earth spiritual power emerged from her feet, wrapping around her entire feet, and she slowly stepped towards the ground.

In just two or three moves, he appeared in front of the elders.

"What happened? Why is there so much noise?"

Sect Master Liu Jiang asked with a puzzled look

But just as he finished speaking, he felt a strong aura and stared at the figure in the distance with his pupils widened.

"Great Elder, you... you have made a breakthrough?"

Liu Jiang said hesitantly

She and the Great Elder were fellow disciples, and she ascended to the position of sect leader because of her high talent and young age.

She is also one of the few female clan leaders in the Eastern Region.

Over the years, the Lingjian Sect has been able to continue to develop mainly because of Liu Jiang's strength, which enables her to suppress these elders.

But now Meng Jiang's physical training has made a breakthrough first, and his combat power has increased rapidly, which has broken the balance. I just don't know whether the other party will take action.

Meng Jiang seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a sad smile: "Don't worry, Sect Master. Although I have broken through the realm, I am still willing to serve as the Grand Elder."

"Besides, over the years, I have also seen the development under your leadership. Perhaps Master made the right choice back then. You are indeed more suitable to be the sect leader than me."

Liu Jiang was also a little dazed, as if she had gotten to know her senior brother all over again.

The elders felt somewhat embarrassed, as if they were watching a couple displaying their affection.

“Ahem…”

At this moment, a cough broke the awkward atmosphere, and everyone reacted at the same time and looked around.

The great elder Meng Jiang seemed to be frank. He said, "Sect Master, this precious land is of great significance to our Lingjian Sect."

"If all the elders and disciples can practice body training here, then the combat power of our Spirit Sword Sect will definitely surge, and we may even become the leading sword force on par with Sword King City."

Several elders around him also deeply agreed with this. A sword cultivator's skills all depend on the sword, and his body is ridiculously fragile.

Once separated from his weapon, he becomes a human sandbag.

At this time, physical strength will play a big role, at least you will not be easily killed by others.

After hearing this, Sect Master Liu Jiang couldn't help but look bitter and shook his head, saying, "All the forces in the Eastern Region know how precious this treasure land is."

"How could they possibly allow our Spirit Sword Sect to obtain it? The first thing to be affected is the Sword King City above us!"

Just as they were discussing enthusiastically without any scruples, they saw dark shadows suddenly moving quickly like ghosts in the dense woods a thousand meters away in the distance.

These dark shadows move swiftly and agilely, like ghosts in the night, making it difficult to capture their tracks.

Immediately afterwards, these black shadows continued to climb over the steep and dangerous cliffs at an astonishing speed, rushing towards the top of the mountain as if they were walking on flat ground.

Not long after, they landed steadily on the top of the mountain.

These mysterious black shadows are all members of the Tang Clan. The one standing in the front with an imposing manner is none other than the leader of the Tang Clan - Tang Yao!

He has a tall and straight figure, a stern face, and exudes an awe-inspiring and powerful aura.

"How is the situation of this investigation? Does the Spirit Sword Sect have any strong support?"

Tang Yao put his hands behind his back and looked straight at the ruins below, which had become broken walls and rubble. He asked in a magnetic voice:

A subordinate standing nearby quickly replied respectfully:

"Reporting to the Sect Master, after our detailed investigation and surveillance, we found that among all the forces currently stationed in this area, including the Spirit Sword Sect, the highest cultivation level is only at the Golden Core level of the Martial Arts, and there are no strong people in the Heavenly Man Realm."

However, the subordinate hesitated for a moment and then said, "But according to my recent observations, strange lights have been flashing frequently inside the Spirit Sword Sect in recent days.

"I suspect this phenomenon is most likely caused by someone breaking through a bottleneck in their cultivation."
