Chapter 5314 I haven’t been happy for a long time
A black-robed cultivator, his face covered by a hood, appeared, his aura radiating, sending waves of fear through You Wuxie’s heart.
“Palace Master!” You Wuxie and the others hurriedly bowed.
The Evil Path Hall’s branch leader slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of crimson eyes beneath his hood. “David… interesting. Pass on my orders: all cultivators in this hall will follow Master Qin on his expedition. Whoever retrieves David’s head will be rewarded with a top-grade spiritual weapon!”
A thunderous cheer erupted from the altar. Countless dark shadows emerged from all corners of the valley, dense like a swarm of ants, spreading towards the Holy Sword City.
The atmosphere in the Holy Sword City was getting tense.
Since Qin Lie’s departure, the city’s major factions had been observing him from the shadows, and unknown cultivators were often seen wandering outside the Sword Sect headquarters.
David knew this was just the calm before the storm; Qin Lie’s revenge would come sooner or later, and with greater force.
“Master Chen, here is the latest information.” Li Chunfeng quietly appeared in the courtyard, holding a jade scroll.
David took the jade scroll and his face suddenly changed after his spiritual sense probed it: “The Sixth Hall of the Divine Temple? The Branch Hall of the Evil Path Hall? Qin Lie actually invited these evil stars!”
The jade scroll clearly recorded that Qin Lie had united the Sixth Hall of the Divine Temple in the Sixth Heaven, as well as the Evil Path Hall’s Branch Hall in the Black Wind Mountains, and even conquered several hidden sects in the Fifth Heaven. His total force had surpassed a thousand, including no less than fifty cultivators of the seventh level and above in the Earth Immortal Realm.
“The Lord of the Sixth Hall of the Divine Temple and I have an old grudge. I’m afraid he’s not just targeting you this time.” Li Chunfeng said solemnly, “The more troublesome one is the Evil Dao Hall. The evil magic they practice is strange, unpredictable, and extremely difficult to deal with.”
Hu Mazi rushed in noisily, “David, there are rumors outside that Qin Lie wants to massacre Sacred Sword City. Should we run first?”
“Run? Where should we run?” Mo Chen walked out holding a staff, his face pale but his eyes firm, “The Sword Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if we fight to the last man, we must not retreat in battle!”
Ling Xue held the long sword in her hand and whispered, “Senior Brother Chen and I will advance and retreat together.”
David took a deep breath and handed the jade slip to everyone, “Now is not the time to retreat. City Lord Li, the defense of Sacred Sword City…”
Li Chunfeng smiled bitterly, “To be honest, Lord Chen, I’ve been gone for hundreds of years, and the city’s affairs have long been controlled by Zhang, the person in charge. He has secretly amassed a lot of power, and now I’m afraid he’s colluded with Qin Lie.”
“That old bastard!” Hu Mazi slammed the stone table angrily, “I’ve disliked him for a long time!”
“Right now, we can only rely on ourselves.” Determination shone in David’s eyes. “City Lord Li, can we ask for help from the neutral forces in Holy Sword City?”
“Difficult,”
Li Chunfeng shook his head. “The Sixth Palace of the Divine Temple and the Evil Path Palace are too famous. No one wants to offend them for our sake.”
Just as everyone was confused, a loud laugh suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard. “Who says no one wants it?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nan Batian walking in with a charming woman in his arms, followed by dozens of powerful cultivators. The leader was actually the owner of the Information Building!
“Nan Batian!” David was surprised and happy at the same time. “Why are you here?”
Nan Batian laughed and said, “I heard that Divine Sword Villa will deal with Mr. Chen. How could I not come to help?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chen, all the Information Building forces in Fifth Heaven are ready to assist you,” Xiao Cui said.
David felt a warmth well up in his heart. Seeing the dozens of Earthly Immortal Realm cultivators who had suddenly appeared in the courtyard, his originally heavy heart felt much lighter.
“I’m relieved to hear you two say that!”
Nan Batian patted David on the shoulder. “But then again, the people Qin Lie brought this time are indeed difficult to deal with. The cultivators in the six temple halls are all extremely arrogant, and the evil cultivators in the Evil Path Hall are even more difficult to deal with. We need to make a thorough plan.”
