This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1678 - 34: Why Meet if We Never Truly Knew Each Other?
Outside Jian Luo King City, a streak of radiance flew in from a distance, then revealed its figure in the sky.
The sword light revealed two figures.
It was Lu Qingshan and Xia Daoyun.
Lifting himself effortlessly, Lu Qingshan overlooked the familiar city nearby.
Scenes from twenty years ago in Jian Luo King City constantly surfaced in his mind.
"Back then when you came to the Abyss, was it here that you found a way to save your Life-bound Sword?" Xia Daoyun asked.
"Yes," Lu Qingshan nodded, no longer dwelling on the past. He turned to Xia Daoyun and explained, "When I first passed through the Burning Moon Domain on my way to the Black Armor Domain, I discovered the Burning Moon Domain was in major battle preparation. I also learned that Chi Venerable, War Venerable, and Ming Venerable had left the Royal City to mobilize troops across various kingdoms."
"The current situation in Jian Luo King City somewhat resembles the previous Buddha King City."
"This is the best opportunity to act."
"I understand now." Xia Daoyun narrowed her eyes, surveying the majestic royal city from a distance, nodding gently with a cold and murderous aura.
"Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon."
The next moment, Xia Daoyun soared with her sword, and the sword light headed straight for Jian Luo King City.
Lu Qingshan didn’t hesitate, using Fuyao to conceal his presence, silently waiting in place.
His injuries hadn’t healed and he had no combat power; forcing himself to accompany Xia Daoyun would only hinder her. Waiting here was clearly the best choice.
.....
Jian Luo King City, Sword Commanding Stage.
The Clan-Quelling Divine Arms that hovered at the center of the Sword Commanding Stage for many years had disappeared, refined by Lu Qingshan into his Life-bound Sword.
Yet the six Warfare Steles engraved with Mang Cang’s lifelong insights into warfare still stood quietly around the Sword Commanding Stage.
"These must be the Mang Cang Warfare Steles engraved with supreme swordsmanship insights that Qingshan mentioned."
The fierce sword light halted above Jian Luo King City.
Xia Daoyun appeared, her gaze icy cold as she looked down at the six glimmering steles below.
The place recommended by Lu Qingshan was precisely this Sword Commanding Stage in Jian Luo King City.
"Such treasures should be taken back to the Sword Sect and established there." Xia Daoyun murmured to herself.
Immediately, she extended her foot and lightly stomped in midair.
Ripples suddenly emerged, and a vast power followed the ripples, piercing the void, directly reaching the ground of Jian Luo King City.
Rumbling sounds echoed!
As this immense power flowed to the ground, the Sword Commanding Stage began to tremble violently.
The next moment, huge cracks ripped open the ground of the Sword Commanding Stage.
Following that, the six ancient steles burst forth from the cracks in the ground.
The massive surfaces of the steles were covered with various textured patterns.
These textured patterns represented the imagery of Mangcang Demon Venerable’s warfare, which could be comprehended only by those with sufficient talent.
It can be imagined that if these six steles were brought back to the Sword Sect, they would greatly benefit the sect’s legacy.
Moreover, the ancient steles were the legacy of the War Demon Clan’s sacred ancestors. Although only sixteen—including Qing Ge incarnated by Lu Qingshan—managed to comprehend them over the years, one thing remains certain: they are undeniable symbols of the War Demon Clan and untouchable sacred objects.
At this moment, Xia Daoyun’s act of uprooting the steles is, simply put, akin to excavating the ancestral graves of the War Demon Clan.
The resulting demonic wrath, even if it cannot match the scale of Lu Qingshan’s storming of Buddha King City, is certainly comparable.
Two birds with one stone. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Therefore, upon receiving Lu Qingshan’s suggestion, Xia Daoyun decisively accepted it and set the Six Mang Cang Warfare Steles as her target for this mission.
Xia Daoyun acted swiftly, and almost in the blink of an eye, the six warfare steles rose into the air, suspended around her before being completely collected into her mustard seed pouch.
...
To dig up your ancestors’ graves in front of you.
Can you tolerate that?
What can be tolerated, what cannot be?
Let alone a violent Demon Race, even King Rat from the West would be enraged beyond measure.
Therefore, in mere moments, dozens of shadows emitting powerful auras rushed out from various parts of Jian Luo King City.
"How dare you!"
"Brazen fiend, to even dare snatch our clan’s sacred steles, courting death!" The demonic shadows shouted angrily, their voices echoing to the heavens.
Leading them was a top-tier Demon Lord, possessing extremely sinister crimson eyes with endless fury and brutality surging within.
This top-tier Demon Lord ascended rapidly, reaching the scene the fastest.
He confronted Xia Daoyun from afar, and the rage in his demonic eyes steeply narrowed upon recognizing Xia Daoyun’s visage, revealing a trace of deep-seated dread.
"It’s you, Xia Daoyun!"
A sharp voice resonated above Jian Luo King City.
Years ago outside Yumen Pass, Xia Daoyun borrowed Li Qiubai’s sword qi left in Heaven and Earth from thousands of miles away to directly defeat Chi Venerable.
The scene of sword qi spanning thirty thousand miles shocked both humans and demons alike, leaving an indelible impression on the demonic cultivators in the Burning Moon Domain, and etched Xia Daoyun’s face firmly in the minds of the Demon Lords of the War Demon Clan, thus instantly recognizing Xia Daoyun at present.
"How could you appear here? How dare you appear here?!"
"Ah, so you’ve ascended to the Sword Immortal Realm." The demonic shadow scrutinized Xia Daoyun meticulously, his surrounding demonic qi fluctuating violently upon discovering that Xia Daoyun’s cultivation was no longer at the Tribulation Crossing Realm of twenty years past.
"Judging by your appearance, you seem not to be in optimal condition; even in this state, you dare intrude on my Jian Luo King City?" The Demon Lord bellowed at the sky.
