I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 504

Chapter 504: Chapter 276: Fame Spreads Through the Spiritual Realm, The Fury of the Red Abyss Sect_2
 

Even he felt fortunate that he hadn’t made a move.

Otherwise, he would undoubtedly have died.

The person behind Xu Yan was truly terrifying.

The Second Elder of Chiming Sect was a peak Divine Refinement Celestial.

Even the weakest among them was at the summit of Divine Refinement Celestials, an entity capable of suppressing the mightiest forces in Yuzhou on his own.

Yet, in an instant, under the combined effort of the Spirit Sect, Su Family, and others in the Divine Refinement alliance, he was annihilated.

Even the Supreme Experts of the Transcendent Spirit Sect couldn’t do much better, could they?

Was this a being on par with the Supreme Experts of the Transcendent Spirit Sect?!

And the Sword Dao displayed by Xu Yan was utterly inconceivable!

He truly had the credentials to be arrogant!

Such a Sword Dao, unheard of, never before had any Sword Dao Martial Artist been able to achieve it.

Could the Sword Dao Supreme Expert of the Thousand Martial Hall do such a thing?

Although his strength was greater than Xu Yan’s current level, could he turn grass and stones into swords?

Could he turn mountains into swords?

No!

“Who is this person? What kind of technique is that?”

Many a strong individual voiced such doubts and exclamations.

Domain’s great momentum became a dragon, turning into a terrifying field of slaughter that exterminated enemies with a mere wave of a hand.

How did he conjure the great momentum of the Domain?

How did he control the momentum of the Domain?

“The Spirit Sect and the Su Family are ours now,”

Yu Gao said in a deep voice to the gathered Divine Refinement Martial Artists.

“But, our Wanshi Alliance’s time to emerge has not yet come, we must keep a low profile. Taking advantage of the fact that the Spirit Sect and the Su Family have not yet reacted, they will occupy both the Spirit Sect and the Su Family.

“The treasury must be found and emptied out immediately, without revealing our name.

Otherwise, the Spiritual Sects from other states will surely intervene.”

Yu Gao was overjoyed. Undoubtedly, Yuzhou’s Wanshi Alliance reaped the most from this battle.

“That senior is truly terrifying!”

Yu Gao couldn’t help but repeatedly sigh to himself.

Of course, the Sword Dao displayed by Xu Yan also deeply shook him.

He believed that this battle would be the beginning of Xu Yan’s fame in the Spiritual Realm, with Lu Xinting becoming the first stepping stone for Xu Yan’s ascent to the pinnacle of the Spiritual Realm!

“Great Protector, rest assured, we understand.”

The excited and elated Divine Refinement cultivators of the Wanshi Alliance declared.

“Good, let’s set off!”

With a wave of his hand, Yu Gao led a group of Divine Refinement cultivators to the Spirit Sect, while the rest went to the Su Family.

As for the other Spiritual Sects and noble families, they were too terrified to interfere at this point.

…

“Brother Xu is impressive. I, Shen Haizhou, really made a wise decision, recognizing a True Dragon, a mighty supporter, at first glance!”

Shen Haizhou exclaimed with a trace of emotion.

With a relationship established with Xu Yan, the Shen Family’s status in Yuzhou was solidified, and they could even advance further.

“The Spirit Sect and the Su Family are about to be destroyed. Their territories and people are too numerous and dare not be overtly taken. It’s only fair for the Shen Family to acquire their territories in public, right?

Another day, I’ll have a chat with Fang Hao. This is an opportunity indeed.”

Shen Haizhou pondered.

“Ha ha ha, Old Zhu Liang, Shen Tai has made a breakthrough. Let’s see how long you can remain arrogant!”

Suddenly, a wild laugh echoed.

A powerful Divine Soul presence enveloped the area.

The Elders of the Shen Family were all roused, emerging one after another, immediately overcome with joy.

Shen Tai had made a breakthrough!

Now, the Shen Family possessed strength to rival the Spirit Sect.

“Ha ha ha, today is such a joyful day. I’m going to find that scoundrel Zhu Liang for a little sparring!”

Shen Tai said excitedly.

“Dad, wait, take it easy!”

Shen Wang hurriedly called out to his dad, who was laughing wildly and acting arrogantly.

“What, you unfilial son, do you think I can’t beat Zhu Liang?”

Shen Tai’s brows furrowed, feeling an itch in his fist, wanting to hit his son!

“It’s not that, Dad. Zhu Liang is dead already!”

Shen Wang hurriedly said.

“Yes, Zhu Liang is dead!”

A group of Shen Family elders hastily nodded in agreement.

Shen Tai was immediately shocked and hurried down, no longer arrogant, and asked gravely, “How did Zhu Liang die? Who killed him?”

Shen Wang took a deep breath, his expression grave, and his eyes still involuntarily revealed a look of shock.

“You know of Xu Yan, right? This matter all started with the battle of the proud elites…”

Shen Wang recounted the entire sequence of events to Shen Tai.

“This… this…”

Shen Tai was stunned.

Then he said sternly, “The matter of my breakthrough must not be disclosed. Let’s wait and see what the winds outside bring. Instruct everyone in the clan to keep a low profile.

“This Spiritual Realm has produced a freak of nature, who could possibly be even more terrifying than the Blood Demon of the past.

“We cannot afford to provoke him, not at all. By the way, where’s my good grandson? Have him come see me.”

After speaking, Shen Tai turned and left.

Even though he had broken through, he still had to keep a low profile.

The news of the battle of the proud elites was spreading far and wide, and the name of Sword God Xu Yan was also starting to circulate more broadly, and with each telling, it grew more and more preposterous.

“Sword God Xu Yan, the Loose Cultivator who slew Lu Xinting, do you know how powerful his Sword Dao is? With a mere gesture of his hand, the grass and trees turn into swords…”

“That’s not the right story. My friend’s friend was at the scene and saw with his own eyes: Xu Yan merely had to reach out his hand, and a giant mountain turned into a fearsome sword that he chopped down.”

…

“Have you heard? When Xu Yan uttered ‘Sword rise,’ a giant mountain transformed into a huge sword. Just by leaking a bit of Sword Qi, Lu Xinting was reduced to ashes…”

“Nonsense, my friend was right there at the scene. Xu Yan didn’t even say a word, nor did he move his hand. Just with a glance, the mountain obediently turned into a sword, and Lu Xinting was slain…”

The more the news spread, the more preposterous and distorted it became, until finally, those who heard it scoffed at the absurdity of it all!

Not even the Supreme Experts of the Transcendent Spirit Sect could achieve such feats; how could a mere Loose Cultivator?

“It’s another Loose Cultivator bragging again. To me, it’s true that Lu Xinting was killed, but it must have been after a tough battle. I can only say that Lu Xinting was somewhat mediocre, losing face for our proud elites of the Spiritual Sect.”

A certain proud elite of the Spiritual Realm scoffed dismissively.

What nonsense about turning grass and trees into swords, or mountains into swords, it’s utterly ridiculous; such exaggerations are just too far-fetched.

“The strength of the Red Abyss Sect is just so-so. How strong could Lu Xinting, a direct disciple, truly be? The Divine Radiance Physique is indeed one of the ten great physiques, but it’s just that, a physique.

“To think that slaying two or three Divine Refinement Celestial Loose Cultivators is impressive?

“Being killed by Xu Yan, a Loose Cultivator, serves him right, it’s just that this has caused the proud elites of the Spiritual Sect to lose face.

“Heh, if Xu Yan were to meet me, he would prove himself as the top Loose Cultivator elite if he could withstand three breaths against me without defeat!”

A rather infamous elite in the Spiritual Realm said this with disdain.

The rumors about Xu Yan became more and more exaggerated, and, in the end, completely untruthful, which in turn led to fewer believers. Certainly, behind the scenes, there must be someone manipulating events.

As for the involvement of Li Xuan, however, that remained unpublicized within the Spiritual Realm.

It was as if someone had intentionally covered it up.

Regardless, the fact that Lu Xinting, a widely known proud elite from the Luo State and a direct disciple of the Red Abyss Sect, was killed in the battle of the proud elites is a fact.

This was the first major conflict of proud elites in a very long time, and the outcome was a defeat for a proud elite of the Spiritual Sect, which made some of the more conservative yet aggressive members of the Spiritual Sect feel angry and even humiliated.

In Luo State, within the Red Abyss Sect, the entire sect found it hard to believe.

Lu Xinting was defeated?

And he was killed as well?

It stood to reason that with the Second Elder, a Protector, present, even if defeated, he should not have been slain.

Yet, the news came that Lu Xinting was dead!

The Second Elder was dead too!

That was a peak Divine Refinement Celestial expert, who, although he had only just broken through and wasn’t considered very powerful amongst his peers, was still at the peak of the Divine Refinement Celestials.

“Who is it?”

Sect Master Xing’s expression was stern, and his desire for revenge was overpowering.

The assembly of Elders also seethed with fury, their ire palpable as they spoke, “Sect Master, we must avenge him; we must kill Xu Yan, or where will our Red Abyss Sect’s honor lie?”

“Yes, at any cost, we must kill Xu Yan!”

“And the people behind him!”

“With such strength, how could someone capable of nurturing such a proud elite be an ordinary Loose Cultivator? He must undoubtedly be one of the remnants of Wanshi Alliance!”

A group of furious Elders spoke through gritted teeth.

“Xu Yan must be killed, but to slay a peak Divine Refinement Celestial, he can’t be weak. Even if the Sect Master were to take action, is it certain we could capture him?

“This matter is not solely the concern of our Red Abyss Sect but also about the honor of the Spiritual Realm and its noble families, as well as the control of the Spiritual Sect and the noble families!”

The Great Elder of the Red Abyss Sect spoke with a grave voice.

“What the Great Elder said is true. Regardless of whether Xu Yan is backed by the remnants of Wanshi or not, this is a challenge to our Spiritual Sect and the noble families. We have recently intercepted some intelligence regarding the Loose Cultivator forces.

“It’s time to contact other friendly sects and discuss this matter.”

Sect Master Xing said with a somber face.
