At night.

Wu Ye went to the Sword Master Hall and prepared to sign in as usual.

During the day, he would go to some ordinary places to sign in, such as Elder Zhao’s Alchemy hall.

At night, he would go to the more important and forbidden areas of the Sword Control Sect to sign in.

It was only through this way that he could avoid attracting the attention of others.

Of course, with his current strength, he could still do it even if he came during the day.

It was just his habit.

[Do you want to sign in at the Sword Master Hall?]

“Sign in,” Wu ye said casually.

[You have successfully signed in at the Sword Master Hall. You are rewarded with the secret technique of divination and astrology, ‘Seven Stars in a Row’!]

Looking at the line of words that appeared in front of him, Wu Ye was a little stunned.

“The secret technique of divination and astrology?”

“Seven stars in a row?”

Ever since he joined the Sword Control Sect, he had already signed in for a total of 25 years!

Given that most of the sign-in rewards were repetitive, the rewards he received got worse as he signed in at more places.

Therefore, there were very few rewards that could brighten him up.

However, the reward this time was exceptionally different.

This was the first time he had obtained a divination-related secret technique.

There must be a reason for this.

Nevertheless, Wu Ye did not have a clue despite having signed in so many times.

Suddenly, he thought of an idea. Since he had obtained a divination-related secret technique, he could give it a try now.

He closed his eyes and began to recall the memories regarding this matter.

He kept calculating using his fingers. Then, he slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

In his eyes, the sky was pitch black, and many stars had disappeared.

At this moment, only seven stars were flickering. These seven stars formed a line and pointed in a direction.

In the next moment, Wu Ye suddenly seemed to be deep in thought. It was as if he had received some information. Then, he turned his gaze toward the direction of the Black Cave Cliff of the Sword Control Sect.

“No wonder I obtained the divination secret technique. Is this the reason?”

Wu Ye frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

Then, he took a step forward. His body flashed and disappeared into the night. It was as if he had become a part of the night.

…

Black Cave Cliff.

Two figures, one short and one fat, stood at the foot of the Black Cave Cliff.

Their eyes were filled with fervor and madness.

“Tsk tsk, sure enough, this sect has existed for more than a thousand years. I didn’t expect that this secret realm treasure would have something to do with the Sword Control Sect.”

“That’s normal. Which powerful sect doesn’t have a lot of resources?”

“Hurry up and look for it. Let’s see which cave the missing part is in,” the short black-robed man said anxiously.

“Why are you in such a hurry? There are hundreds of corpses and the sword master’s coffin. Of course, we have to look at them carefully.” The tall and fat black-robed man glanced at the short man impatiently.

“If we can take away the sword master’s corpse, it’s worth our time even if we can’t find the treasure map!” The fat black-robed man said greedily.

“Are you crazy? This is the Sword Control Sect!” The short man said in disbelief.

“The Sword Control Sect used to be the leader of the top five sword sects. They have a deep foundation and are extremely mysterious. We must be careful.

“Have you forgotten that the Blood Soul Demon Master was killed with a sword strike?”

The short black-robed man kept reminding him.

“Hehe, this might be a self-staged show by the Sword Control Sect to make the other sects think that the Sword Control Sect has a sword master in charge. In that case, the other sects won’t dare to provoke the Sword Control Sect.”

The tall and fat black-robed man curled his lips and said disdainfully.

The previous sword master of the Sword Control Sect had died unexpectedly. Without the sword master’s inheritance, the Sword Control Sect would not be able to give birth to a new sword master.

How could there be a sword master in charge?

He had seen through such a clumsy trick with a glance.

The short black-robed man frowned slightly when he saw his companion’s disdainful look. He was somewhat displeased.

‘What an idiot. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come out with you.’

Although he was grumbling in his heart, he did not show it at this critical moment.

It was obvious that the two of them had very different personalities. The tall and fat black-robed man was arrogant and looked down on everything.

In contrast, the short black-robed man was more cautious.

“Get it started.”

The tall and fat black-robed man shouted in a low voice, and his aura burst out.

There was a faint black aura around him, which was extremely strange and terrifying.

His figure suddenly flew toward the cave where the coffins were placed.

The other short black-robed man ran toward the cave on the cliff.

These two black-robed men jumped on the cliff.

However, before they reached the cave on the cliff, a blinding white light suddenly burst out from the entire cliff.

The white light condensed into a huge sword and fiercely slashed toward the two black-robed men.

One of the men waved his hand abruptly. A thick black aura then shot out, directly wiping away the huge white sword in the air.

Seeing this, the black-robed man heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. This was not too difficult to deal with.

Nevertheless, what he did not know was that this crisis was far from resolved because the disturbance just now had already attracted the attention of the elders of the Sword Control Sect.

Qianyuan Mountain of the sword control peak.

Zhang Qishan looked at the white light that suddenly erupted from the Black Cave Cliff. His eyes were icy, and a powerful sword intent radiated from his body.

Back then, the Sword Control Sect was invaded by the Ghost Daoist. The Blood Soul Demon Master broke the demon-slaying tower’s seal.

It caused the Sword Control Sect to suffer heavy losses, and the sect was almost exterminated.

Even if they were saved in the end, the deep humiliation was etched in his heart!

All these years, Zhang Qishan had been cultivating diligently in order to be able to kill powerful enemies and make the Ghost Spirit Sect pay a heavy price one day!

Not only had his understanding of the Great Void Condensing Sword improved, but his cultivation had also risen from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the later stage.

He was close to reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Now that he did not seek revenge on the Ghost Spirit Sect, there were some little rats coming to the Sword Control Sect. The rats triggered the restrictions of the Black Cave Cliff, causing him to discover them.

Fortunately, after the Ghost Daoist sneaked in, he had set up the restrictions of formations and talismans on all the mountains and halls in time.

Otherwise, he would not have known if someone had touched his ancestor’s grave.

At that time, how would he have the dignity to face his ancestors in the ancestor worship ceremony?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qishan was furious, and his aura was cold.

“Hmph, you’re courting death!

“How dare you be impudent in our Sword Control Sect. Do you really think that our Sword Control Sect doesn’t have a temper?”

Zhang Qishan snorted coldly, his eyes shooting out a white sword light.

No matter who the enemy was or what they wanted to do, he vowed to kill this group of intruders from now on to preserve the Sword Control Sect’s reputation!
