Chapter 98 A fine sword! A truly fine sword! The Illusionary Heart Demon Pill has rendered a great service…
Gan Zhirou grabbed Song Yin's shoulders and shook her violently, "You go down and help!"
How come such an adorable child is so annoying when they grow up?
"Okay, okay, let's go." Song Yin was dizzy from being shaken, and glanced down. "Looks like we don't need to go down anymore."
"What? Could it be that Senior Sister Han and the others have already won?" Gan Zhirou released Song Yin's shoulder and looked down in the direction of her gaze.
Gan Zhirou: ...
Gan Zhirou: "Ahhh—"
They weren't winning at all; they were completely overwhelmed by the enemy! Swords were already at Huang Chong's neck, and Xiao Daiheng and Wu Jue were seriously injured.
In the face of absolute cultivation and strength, those who lack strength will only be beaten.
Gan Zhirou and Wang Miao quickly went down, and Lü Ziya, anxiously following behind, followed suit.
Sigh, it's a gathering of acquaintances, it wouldn't make sense to just run away, and besides, we're not in a hopeless situation yet.
Song Yin asked in a low voice, "Now that you are at the Golden Core stage, will you still faint when you use the Myriad Annihilation Array? Can the silk threads trap them?"
Shi Heming: "No, but most of my spiritual energy will be consumed, so I need to replenish it in time. Their cultivation is much higher than mine, and the silk threads can injure them for a short time. If they keep attacking with all their might, the silk threads will be cut."
Song Yin placed two bottles of pills in his hands: "These are both Spirit Recovery Pills, to help you quickly restore your spiritual energy. The difference in strength between us and the enemy is huge. If we rush down rashly, we'll just be throwing our lives away like them. You set up the formation, and be careful not to let them find out. I'll go down and deceive and persuade them."
Shi Heming: You were just trying to say that it was a lie, right?
Han Wuyue blocked another sword strike, her tiger's mouth tingling from the impact. She gritted her teeth and fought back with all her might.
"Stop struggling in vain. The difference in our cultivation levels is too great. Unless your master comes, there is no hope of winning. Hand over the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, and we won't take your lives. After all, the Immortal Cloud Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect have always had a good relationship." The elder of the Myriad Swords Sect, who was fighting Han Wuyue, earnestly advised.
Han Wuyue said coldly, "We sword cultivators swear to never surrender."
The elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect revealed an approving look, "Not bad, you have great awareness and are a promising sword cultivator. Why don't you leave the Immortal Cloud Sect and come to our Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
In response to the Wan Jian Sect elder, Han Wuyue launched another proactive attack. Like her wind spirit root, her moves were swift, leaving afterimages in the air.
The Wanjian Sect elder, who was fighting Han Wuyue, thought to himself: "As expected of the top two sword cultivators in the Xuantian Tournament, her swordsmanship is not to be underestimated. If my cultivation level weren't higher than hers, it's really hard to say who would suppress whom."
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Heavenly Stems Sect also understood that to obtain the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, they must first defeat the four powerful enemies from the Myriad Swords Sect. They tacitly joined the Immortal Firmament Sect's ranks to fight against the elders of the Myriad Swords Sect. However, their injuries were too severe, and they quickly collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
On the ground were people who had been seriously injured and unconscious before, but had woken up. She opened her eyes a crack and saw that the Heavenly Spirit Fruit had been picked. She also saw that the remaining high-level cultivators were still fighting. She then silently closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious again.
This resulted in only the Immortal Firmament Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect having cultivators capable of fighting.
"Pfft!" Lu Ziya was blasted away by the sword energy and crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Elder Mo shook his head. "Why would a Golden Core cultivator like you get involved in a battle between a Divine Evolution stage sword cultivator? Isn't that just courting death? If it weren't for the friendship between our two sects, you would have been killed by him long ago."
After taking the healing pills, Lü Ziya still wanted to rush out, but Elder Mo quickly formed an array to trap him.
"Listen to me, don't get involved. We only want the Heavenly Spirit Fruit; it's more important for you to keep your lives." This kid must have a lot of precious pills on him; we can't let him give them to others to heal their injuries.
Elder Mo then pointed upwards, “Learn from your other two fellow disciples. Look at them, they know how to assess the situation and avoid getting hurt like you did.”
Gan Zhirou and Wang Miao, who had been injured by the sword, looked up, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
Now all they can do is stubbornly insist, "One of them is a pill cultivator and the other a talisman cultivator; it doesn't matter if they don't come down to fight!"
Gan Zhirou's words put the Wan Jian Sect elders at ease; being cowardly and unwilling to join the battle, they could not cause any trouble.
Elder Mo chuckled and took out a recording stone. "I've come up with a great idea. Why don't I record what you all look like? It'll definitely be interesting to release it at the next exchange meeting between the two sects."
The injured Immortal Cloud Sect disciple's teeth chattered upon hearing this.
Song Yin fell silent again. Old Deng's tricks were so vicious. Did he really want to trample on the Immortal Cloud Sect?
"Yinyin, the Illusionary Heart Demon Pill." Shi Heming's formation was almost complete, only lacking the Illusionary Heart Demon Pill.
Song Yin gave him the image-remembering stone and the Illusionary Heart Demon Pill together.
"The fourth-stage Illusionary Heart Demon Pill is even more powerful."
Shi Heming understood what she meant and nodded slightly.
Elder Mo was also a formation cultivator. He stood on the ground, while Shi Heming set up the formation in the sky, which allowed him to cleverly evade the detection of Nascent Soul level formation cultivators.
Most importantly, after Elder Mo learned that they were alchemists and talisman cultivators, he didn't take them seriously, considering them merely early-stage Golden Core cultivators.
Song Yin shouted loudly to those below, "The Ten Thousand Swords Sect has amazing swords! Every single one of them is a fine sword!"
Everyone below heard this, and the Wan Jian Sect elder's sharp gaze went straight upwards.
The members of the Immortal Firmament Sect: ...
Gan Zhirou couldn't take it anymore and said angrily, "If you're not going to come down and fight, then don't cause trouble, okay?"
Song Yin deftly dodged the sword energy attacking from below. "I mean, all the swords of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are good swords. My friend is a weapon cultivator, so I can recognize the quality of magical artifacts to some extent. The swords in the hands of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect seniors are obviously good swords."
The three sword cultivator elders of the Myriad Swords Sect: "..."
The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly.
Suddenly they burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Little girl, you have good taste. Now tell me, which is more powerful, our Ten Thousand Swords Sect's swordsmanship or your Immortal Firmament Sect's swordsmanship?"
Wang Miao and Gan Zhirou almost buried their heads in the ground. Given Song Yin's temperament, she would definitely praise the Wan Jian Sect's swordsmanship.
Song Yin flew directly downwards and stood in front of several elders.
The battle temporarily stopped because of her shout.
Han Wuyue tried to pull Song Yin behind her, but Xiao Daiheng stopped her with a look. Although Han Wuyue didn't understand her junior brother's meaning, she still stopped and quietly observed how the situation was developing.
Elder Mo was waiting for Song Yin to say that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's sword technique was even more powerful. At that time, he would copy this passage onto other memory stones and sell it throughout the entire cultivation world!
Song Yin smiled sweetly: "If I say something that satisfies the seniors, will the seniors let my fellow disciples go?"
Lü Ziya was stunned, "Song Yin!"
Elder Mo's ears twitched. "Your name is Song Yin? You mean Song Yin from the Immortal Cloud Sect who broke through to the Golden Core stage before the age of one hundred?"
Upon hearing this, the three sword cultivator elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect all looked over, and those who were lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious quietly opened their eyes a crack to look at Song Yin.
Song Yin: "It is indeed the junior. Senior has not yet answered the junior's question."
An elder sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage said, "That won't do. You must offer the Heavenly Spirit Fruit with both hands. Also, let me tell you, your Immortal Firmament Sect's swordsmanship is inferior to that of the Myriad Swords Sect."
Song Yin: "We have three Heavenly Spirit Fruits. How about we give one to our Immortal Firmament Sect, one to your Myriad Swords Sect, and the last one to our fellow Daoists from the Heavenly Stems Sect who have come from afar?"
"It's a good offer, but since we have the capability, we'll take it all."
Song Yin: "Then could you please let the people behind you come over first? Don't worry, we juniors will definitely not run away. After all, you seniors are very strong, and we can't outrun you."
"Where is the Heavenly Spirit Fruit?"
Song Yin turned around and walked up to Han Wuyue, saying, "Senior Sister Han, Heavenly Spirit Fruit."
Han Wuyue: "No, this is a test from the sect for us, we must take it back."
"Senior Sister Han!"
Seeing that Shi Heming hadn't come down from the sky, Xiao Daiheng thought that Song Yin must have other plans, so he advised, "Senior sister, give it to her."
Han Wuyue: "Xiao Daiheng, you..."
Wu Jue also felt that Song Yin's current behavior was strange. As someone who had fought alongside her, he chose to believe Song Yin. "Senior Sister, give it to Senior Sister Song."
Han Wuyue had no choice but to take out all three Heavenly Spirit Fruits.
Song Yin held the Heavenly Spirit Fruit in her arms, then turned to face the four members of the Myriad Swords Sect. She deliberately picked out the smallest one with her right hand and threw it directly to the four of them.
"Let them go first, and after they come over, I'll give you the remaining two."
The Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator elder took the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, sniffed it carefully, and said, "Not bad, it's real. Let all four of them pass."
The people being controlled are Lü Ziya, Gan Zhirou, Wang Miao, and Bian Yuanling.
The four of them, dressed in grey and white, walked to Han Wuyue's side.
Now all the disciples of the Immortal Firmament Sect are standing together, while the four members of the Myriad Swords Sect are standing opposite them.
Song Yin suddenly put the Heavenly Spirit Fruit into her spatial storage, made hand seals to set up a barrier, and protected the disciples of the Immortal Firmament Sect within it.
Last time, the Illusionary Heart Demon Pill caused Xiao Daiheng's inner demons to erupt. If it were to trigger his inner demons again this time, I would feel quite embarrassed.
The moment the barrier was set up, Xiao Daiheng and Wu Jue finally realized Song Yin and the others' intentions, and the two of them held their breath instantly.
The Myriad Annihilation Array pressed down from above with overwhelming force, and Elder Mo and the others sensed something was wrong.
"It's a formation!"
Spiderweb-like threads floated in the air, like the spring breeze blowing through the weeping willows by the lake.
The endless silk threads fell around them, and the hems of their clothes that were touched by the threads were cut off in the blink of an eye, the fabric fluttering lightly into the cave on the ground.
The battle was fierce, leaving many craters in the ground. Ground squirrels originally inhabited the area around Wohu Ridge, but the ground was riddled with holes after the fight.
Everyone fell silent, remaining motionless like wooden stakes.
The elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect refused to believe in superstition and tried to sever the silk threads with their sword energy, but the sword energy would reconnect the threads the very next second after severing them.
They took out their swords to cut, but the blades instantly developed nicks upon contact with the silk threads, causing the elders' hearts to bleed.
Their spirit swords! Repairing spirit swords costs a lot of spirit stones! Is it easy for sword cultivators to save up even a few coins?
Song Yin still smiled sweetly, but her sweet voice was actually quite infuriating: "The silk threads are extremely sharp, seniors, please be careful not to get touched. If it touches your clothes, you might just be naked, but if it touches your body, you'll lose an arm or a leg. It would be very troublesome to use your sword without arms, wouldn't it?"
"However, I still hope that the seniors will lose their clothes. I will use the recording stone to record their figures and sell them. It will definitely make a lot of money and make the seniors famous in the entire cultivation world. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect will also benefit from your fame in the entire cultivation world."
"I helped my seniors debut and become rising stars in the cultivation world, and I also helped the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's reputation resound throughout the entire cultivation world. Seniors, you don't need to be so polite."
The members of the Immortal Cloud Sect looked blank, except for Xiao Daiheng and Wu Jue, who seemed normal.
One of the elders, refusing to believe in superstition, raised his hand to shatter all the threads with brute force.
Song Yin tried to stop him with nonsense, "Friendly reminder: don't move. Only cultivators at the Integration stage are immune to these threads." She said regretfully, "It's a pity that you seniors are only at the Nascent Soul stage, just a little bit short."
The elder of the Myriad Swords Sect was furious. "Song Yin! Aren't you afraid of ruining the relationship between our two sects?!"
Song Yin said innocently, "How could that be? After all, it was you old fogies who attacked us juniors first, and it was you who disregarded the relationship between our two sects. The recording stone in that elder's hand recorded everything."
Upon hearing this, Elder Mo used his spiritual energy to shatter the recording stone in his hand. "Young friend Song, the recording stone in my hand has been shattered. We were wrong just now. Do you think... we can remove this formation?"
The sword cultivator elder beside him turned his head and said, "Elder Mo, you are a formation cultivator. Can't you break this formation?"
Elder Mo was embarrassed and defended himself: "I... I don't recognize this formation. A formation that can only be countered by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator must have come from some ancient secret realm. It's normal that I can't solve it."
Song Yin was secretly surprised: Good lad, his self-created formation was actually mistaken for an ancient secret realm formation!
Elder Mo continued speaking to Song Yin, "Young friend Song, look..."
"We sword cultivators have no reason to beg for mercy!" A ruthless glint flashed in the sword cultivator's eyes as he took the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, using his spiritual energy to lift it up and put it into his mouth.
"The Heavenly Spirit Fruit can help a cultivator break through a major realm. I'm currently at the Nascent Soul stage, and the next major realm will be the Body Integration stage. Song Yin, you're still too young and have made a mistake."
Han Wuyue said anxiously, "We need to hurry. If they really break through to the Integration Stage, the power of the lightning tribulation alone could injure us." She had to ensure everyone's safe return to the sect.
Wang Miao hated the enemy, but he hated himself even more: "I shouldn't have given them the Heavenly Spirit Fruit!"
Wu Jue was annoyed and said to him, "If it weren't for Senior Sister Song exchanging the Heavenly Spirit Fruit for people, you would still be under their control."
Watching the other person eat the entire Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Song Yin finally couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth from smiling.
"Senior, do you have inner demons?"
The sword cultivator elder who had eaten the Heavenly Spirit Fruit did not understand why Song Yin asked this question.
Song Yin: "Judging from your expression, you seem to be suffering from inner demons."
"My inner demons have been suppressed for many years and are very stable. Even if they were, I could still advance smoothly to the Fusion stage."
Song Yin: "Senior, you are the one who made a mistake. How could you have known that eating that Heavenly Spirit Fruit would allow you to advance safely?"
Her right hand had already crushed several Illusionary Heart Demon Pills, and when she threw the Heavenly Spirit Fruit to the other party, the pill powder covered the entire Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
She turned to look at Xiao Daiheng and Wu Jue: "Go back and put in a good word for me with the sect leader. I only acted because everyone's lives were in danger. It wasn't because I was doing whatever I wanted, understand?"
Wu Jue: "I understand, I understand. Senior Sister Song did this to save us. It's all the fault of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
Song Yin gave him an approving look, "You've got it."
Everyone else was completely oblivious.
Lu Ziya asked, "What kind of riddles are you playing?"
Wu said smugly, "The show is about to begin. You all hurry up and heal your wounds. We'll be ready to retreat back to our sect at any time."
The elder who had eaten the Heavenly Spirit Fruit was uneasy because of Song Yin's words, but the Heavenly Spirit Fruit had already taken effect, and all the spiritual energy began to flow into his body.
Hahaha! Uh—
He swayed, his hair falling straight down as it touched the silk thread, his eyes filled with disbelief, "I've successfully suppressed my inner demons for many years, how could they erupt today?"
Song Yin shrugged: "I've already told you you made a mistake, why don't you believe me?"
"It's you!!!"
