"Um?"
One day, Xiang Sheng, who was concentrating on his journey, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look into the distance.
Just now, she lost the sense of the jade token she gave to Tong Qiushuang.
The three sword energies she left in the jade token were equivalent to three full-strength attacks from a sword cultivator in the late stage of out-of-body experience.
Unless you encounter a special existence like her who cheated in, your life will not be in danger.
But the three sword energies were completely consumed in just a short moment.
Was it because Tong Qiu Shuang was in danger repeatedly that the sword energy protected her master, or was it that she took the initiative to activate it?
She took out the black jade token and scanned it with her spiritual sense.
When entering the secret realm, out of the 3,560 light spots in the token, more than 30 of them had dimmed.
Xiang Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.
This depreciation rate is very abnormal.
The new jade slips she issued were not only maps but also more detailed.
Relying on the fact that the flawless sword intent had minimal damage to her mind and that the sword intent was powerful and almost infinite, she left behind a sword energy in all the newly made jade slips that was comparable to a full-strength attack from a late-stage out-of-body state.
Sixth Senior Brother added a touch of Void Sword Intent on this basis, which can help people travel through the void over short distances.
With these two methods, the disciples can escape from 90% of dangerous situations.
In other words, the Sword Sect disciples who entered the Hunyuan Secret Realm this time were in the safest situation, but they didn't know it themselves.
As long as they don't act recklessly, they will definitely get out alive.
However, only ten days have passed and more than thirty people have died.
More than 3,500 disciples were carefully selected and have practiced for many years. How could they not know that when they are training outside, they must put their own lives first.
Even if there really are reckless and unlucky people, there can never be so many of them.
Is it the Pantheon taking action?
This world is vast and sparsely populated. If they want to find their target in a short period of time, there are only two ways.
Either they deployed more people with higher cultivation, or they planted a large number of traitors to cooperate with each other inside and outside to launch sneak attacks and kill people.
Or maybe both.
In addition, there should be some more sophisticated means of communication between them in the secret realm, unlike the three major sects, who can only transmit a simple distress mark.
When he thought of this, Xiang Sheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Although there are fewer spies after the Sword Sect's purge, no one can guarantee whether there are still spies from the Pantheon among this group of disciples.
The distress mark is simple, which means it is extremely easy to leak.
The Pantheon must have obtained all the communication seals of the three major sects by now. If they were to make a fuss about this...
A gleam of light flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes, and she swept across the light spot closest to her in the Xuanyu token, flicked her sleeves, and turned into a rainbow and left.
After an incense stick of time, Xiang Sheng approached the light spot and saw a young man dressed as a casual cultivator.
The man was full of brilliant and upright sword spirit. The flying sword he wielded from a distance was twice as big as usual, constantly cutting and destroying the spirit of a dying and mad late Nascent Soul cultivator not far away.
Xiang Sheng did not show up. He looked at him from a distance, compared his face with the more than 3,000 faces he had memorized before, and quickly found his identity.
The master of the sword lineage, the true disciple of the Huang sword lineage, is Feng Xuan.
Due to his limited cultivation level, Feng Xuan did not notice Xiang Sheng's secret gaze on him and concentrated on controlling the flying sword.
After half an hour, the last bit of life in the spirit disappeared, it screamed and died, and gradually transformed into a drop of water.
Feng Xuan relaxed slightly upon seeing this. He glanced around warily to make sure there was no suspicious movement before sitting down cross-legged and taking out a jade bottle specially used to store ownerless true essence at a low level to quickly replenish it.
Dangers are everywhere in the secret realm, and the idea of ensuring one's own safety at all times has been engraved into his bones.
He would rather waste a lot of ownerless true energy than not maintain himself in peak condition.
When Xiang Sheng saw this, he just floated away.
This person acts extremely cautiously and is obviously a tough nut to crack.
If she were from the Pantheon, she would definitely pick on the weak first.
Another stick of incense later, Xiang Sheng found the second closest light spot to her, which was two true disciples of the main sword lineage traveling together.
One is Ge Jun from the Hidden Sword Vein, and the other is Xu Heng from the Gui Sword Vein.
After recognizing the two people, Xiang Sheng shook his head slightly and left again.
Both of these two main sword sects use unconventional sword techniques and employ cunning and assassination tactics. They are even more difficult to deal with than Feng Xuan just now.
Next, Xiang Sheng followed the light spot and met seven or eight of his true disciples in succession. They were undoubtedly people who acted decisively and kept their talents low-key.
This kind of inherited shrewdness made her feel relieved, but also a little helpless.
As a last resort, she could only look in the opposite direction of the crowd's movement, and finally found a suitable candidate the next day.
The true disciple of the Master Sword Lineage and Combined Sword Lineage is Xu Tianming.
If I remember correctly, this person has only been promoted to the true teaching level for a few years, and the most powerful feature of the combined sword vein is the combined sword technique. His personal strength is slightly weaker than that of other main sword veins.
If the Pantheon sets an ambush and launches a surprise attack, the chances of success are good.
With this thought in mind, Xiang Sheng secretly followed Xu Tianming deeper into the cave.
The forest has a complex terrain, and even though many people have searched for the spirits in front, there are still some missed places.
Xu Tianming deliberately went in along the road with few traces, but his luck was really bad, and the road he chose happened to be the one Xiang Sheng had taken.
Xiang Sheng crushed them all the way, and their spirits were completely killed, leaving very few traces.
Therefore, as Xu Tianming walked along, he didn't see anything, not even a ghost, let alone the Earth Yin Spirit.
After half a day, he stopped, touched the still shriveled cloth bag around his waist, sighed bitterly, and counted on his fingers.
Is it bad luck today? Why don’t I gain anything?
He was just wondering whether to change the route when the communication talisman on his waist suddenly vibrated.
"A distress call?"
He looked at the communication talisman, his expression slightly stern, and without saying a word, he changed his route and flew towards the source of the communication.
A cold light flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes, and he followed silently.
A moment later, Xu Tianming followed the message and arrived in a valley. From a distance, he saw a young man in a gray robe being besieged by three early-stage Nascent Soul spirits. He looked terrified, his gray robe stained with blood, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
The valley was as narrow as a crack in the sky, so the young man in gray robes saw Xu Tianming coming and immediately shouted for help: "Senior brother, help!"
Xu Tianming couldn't figure out the other party's identity, but considering that it was the sect's call for help, he couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so he immediately waved his hand.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three flying swords shot up into the sky, and sword energy soared into the sky.
Xu Tianming made hand gestures again, and the flying swords immediately connected with each other to form a sword formation, covering the three spirits.
The spirits sensed the coming crisis and all gave up the gray-robed young man and faced the sword formation head-on.
Xu Tianming shouted softly: "Retreat!"
The young man in gray robe was also smart and immediately dodged to the side.
The next moment, the sword formation shone brightly, and countless sword energies emerged, trapping the three spirits and strangling them a hundred times in an instant!
The three spirits screamed as they were constantly shattered and reassembled, and eventually turned into three balls of energy, quietly floating in the air.
