...
Lingsu City.
Inside the Heavenly Sword Sect, after being released from the dungeon, Liu Jiantang began a killing spree. None of the demonic disciples left behind by Wen Xiao in the Heavenly Sword Sect survived; they all became victims of Liu Jiantang's sword. After killing all these insignificant lackeys, Liu Jiantang felt no sense of accomplishment; in fact, he felt extremely dejected.
He could only target these small fry. He couldn't find Wen Xiao now, so he had no way to take revenge. Besides, he knew that even if he found him, he might not be able to do so.
Not long after Liu Jiantang was released, Nangong Ling'er led a group of the remaining disciples up the mountain to see Liu Jiantang. Seeing that Liu Jiantang was safe and sound, Nangong Ling'er finally felt relieved. She had been sending people to monitor the Tianjian Sect for a long time, but had not made any rash moves.
Before the Spirit Lake, Liu Jiantang stared at the increasingly dense spiritual energy of the place, lost in thought.
Nangong Ling'er noticed that the spiritual energy here was different from before. "Senior brother, don't you feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is becoming more and more abundant?"
Liu Jiantang said absentmindedly, "This place is a spiritual vein, and the Heavenly Sword Sect also has the formation left by Su Yan before, so it is natural that the spiritual energy is rich."
“I’m not just referring to the Heavenly Sword Sect, but the entire Ling Su region is different now. Recently, I’ve seen many Blood Lotus Sect disciples’ cultivation levels advance by leaps and bounds. It seems that due to some opportunity, the spiritual energy of this world has become increasingly abundant. Have you been to Ling Su City? The current level of spiritual energy there is similar to that of the Heavenly Sword Sect a few years ago. And now, the spiritual energy of our Heavenly Sword Sect is also incomparable. My cultivation level has also increased very quickly, and it’s incomparable to what it used to be.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiantang also noticed it. "Recently, I have also felt the change in the Heavenly Dao. It seems that everything has become very natural. Never mind, let's not talk about this. Anyway, it's a good thing."
"Indeed, it's a good thing for both the Heavenly Sword Sect and the world."
Liu Jiantang continued, "I heard the war in Xiliang is over. What about Junior Sister Shen and the others?"
"Senior sister should be on her way back already. The situation in Xiliang has stabilized, and I heard that Kunlun Immortal Sect has also reclaimed its sect."
"Is there any news about Junior Brother Xiao?" Liu Jiantang asked.
"I was just about to say this when my senior sister wrote to say that she saw Senior Brother Xiao in Xiliang, and... and she said that Senior Brother Xiao seemed to have become a different person, that he no longer recognized her, and even... seemed to have become a demon disciple."
Upon hearing this, a murderous glint flashed in Liu Jiantang's eyes. His hatred for the Demon Disciples was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, just as his feelings for his senior brother, the sect leader, were also beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. He asked coldly, "I do not believe that Junior Brother Xiao would join the Heavenly Demon Abyss. Senior Brother, the sect leader, died at the hands of Wen Xiao in front of you and me. If he has really become a lackey of the Demon Disciples, then I will not let him go."
“Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Xiao is clear-headed. Even if... even if there really is such a possibility, he must have his own reasons.” Nangong Ling’er was afraid that Liu Jiantang would misunderstand Xiao Yuhan, because this time when they met, Senior Brother Liu Jiantang’s eyes had a chilling killing intent.
Liu Jiantang thought for a moment and said, "Of course I'm willing to believe him. You take charge of the Heavenly Sword Sect's affairs first. I need to go into seclusion. Tell me immediately if you have any news about Xiao Yuhan. No matter what the situation, even if it's to disturb my seclusion, we must bring Junior Brother Xiao back first, and then determine if there are any hidden secrets. Also, announce to the world tomorrow that the Heavenly Sword Sect has reclaimed its sect and will fight to the death with everyone in the Heavenly Demon Valley. When former Heavenly Sword Sect disciples return, remember to verify their identities. Also, you should also take charge of the Dao Alliance's affairs. Send letters to those sect elders who used the Heavenly Sword Sect's name to show off their power, but remained silent after the Heavenly Sword Sect fell into trouble. Tell them to come to the Heavenly Sword Sect and explain to me that although Senior Brother is gone, I am still alive. We still need to give those opportunists a good talking-to."
Nangong Ling'er could have disagreed with Liu Jiantang's words, but after experiencing these things, she gradually understood many things. It was understandable that those sects did not lend a helping hand after the Heavenly Sword Sect fell into trouble, since the tree falls and the monkeys scatter. However, those sects that wavered or even thought of joining the forces of the Demonic Disciples still had to be dealt with.
