C331 To perish together

They did not dare to be slow in their hearts. When Zong Dai walked towards them, Yi Yan also stepped forward to welcome him. When they were about five meters away, the two of them stopped and carefully sized each other up.

Suddenly, Zong Dai's hands moved again and again, and laid an isolation restriction around the Sword Sect participants that emitted a faint white light. After that, the smile on his face disappeared, and he greeted Yi Yan respectfully: "Fellow Daoist Yi Yan, earlier, I had already heard from the three disciples Han Cheng, Yang Shuo, and Jiang Huan about the help Fellow Daoist helped me with Sword Sect, and I had always wanted to personally express my gratitude to Fellow Daoist Sun. Unfortunately, it was only until today that I was able to meet with my Fellow Daoist. And just now, this reputed one had once again heard the story of how you saved the two from Liu Yi and Ji Yang, the two disciples. Regarding the kindness that fellow has shown me, Sword Sect will never be forgotten! "

Zong Dai's words had greatly exceeded Yi Yan's expectations, and it had bluffed his way to the point where he hurriedly jumped to the side, not daring to receive Zong Dai's bow.

What a joke! How could an Emperor level sword cultivator, an expert of the entire Four Realms, be so easy to deal with?

Even if Zong Dai was willing, Yi Yan would definitely not dare to be so arrogant, as he did not want to be looked down upon by tens of thousands of Sword Sect disciples.

At the same time, Yi Yan was extremely astonished in his heart. Even though he had helped Sword Sect several times, even if he had not personally made a move at that time, it was not necessarily that the Sword Sect would lose to the Devil Sect, it would at most lose a little. The Sword Sect he resided in was merely a branch of the Immortal Realm, and it did not seem to be worthy of the dignified Immortal Realm sect master thanking him in such a solemn manner.

As for the matter of saving Liu Yi and Ji Yang, it was purely due to a fortuitous encounter, and the two of them were insignificant compared to the tens of thousands of disciples in the Sword Sect.

In his opinion, this was just two simple attempts to help. Was it worth it for Zong Dai to raise his profound strength to his entire level?

Aren't you making a fuss over nothing?

As if he had seen Yi Yan's doubt, Zong Dai smiled faintly and explained, "Fellow Daoist Yi Yan, there is no need to be so surprised. The reason why I thank you is not because of the Cultivation World Sword Sect. More accurately, it is because of two people: Liu Yi and Jiang Huan.

Hearing Zong Dai's words, not only did the doubt in Yi Yan's heart not clear, it became even more serious instead.

Hearing Zong Dai's words, it seemed that the entire Cultivation Realm was not even as valuable as Liu Yi and Jiang Huan. Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?

However, Yi Yan knew that Zong Dai still had more to say, so he did not ask, and only listened quietly.

As expected, after saying that, Zong Dai's words paused, he looked at Yi Yan's expression, and when he heard it carefully, he could not help but nod his head in praise. He then continued to speak: "Dao Friend Yi Yan might know, that Jiang Huan is a core disciple of my Sword Sect, which means, he is a sword cultivator who practices with an innate Golden Spirit Body. However, what you don't know is that Liu Yi is actually also a core disciple with a Golden Spiritual Body. As for the core disciples, among the tens of thousands of disciples that rose from my Sword Sect, there are only eleven of them, do you understand what I am saying? "

Yi Yan was shocked, and only now did he understand the importance of Liu Yi and Jiang Huan to Sword Sect.

When he was at the Cultivation Realm, he had found out from Xing Jian that although the criteria for selecting disciples was harsh, only the core disciples were the true fundamentals of Sword Sect. Because of talent, not only were the core disciples stronger than ordinary disciples under the premise of having the same cultivation, the difficulty of breaking through their cultivation was even lower and their potential was also greater.

However, Yi Yan had never thought that in the enormous Sword Sect that had been passed down for countless years, there would only be eleven core disciples today!

However, thinking about it, Yi Yan quickly understood: an Innate Golden Spirit Body was already extremely hard to come by, even among tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people, it would not necessarily appear. Furthermore, the chance of an Innate Golden Spirit Body appearing was reduced by eighty percent.

Furthermore, a very small number of people who possess a Golden Spiritual Body might not necessarily be discovered, and thus set foot on the road of cultivation. Even if they were to cultivate, they may not necessarily become disciples of the Sword Sect.

Therefore, even if the Immortal Realm was composed of several tens of Cultivation Realm, it was still understandable for there to be so few core disciples.

Yi Yan had his own principles when doing things, and he was definitely not a person who wanted to repay favors. Thus, after understanding the whole story, he only smiled faintly and did not continue to discuss the matter, and instead secretly took a glance at the people who were outside of the isolation restriction, and shifted the topic to the matter that everyone was most concerned about right now: "Senior Sect, if I'm not wrong, the courtyard in front of us should be the core of our Secret Realm, and it is also our ultimate goal. It's just that I don't know why so many seniors and fellow daoists did not enter and instead gathered outside the gate. "

Zong Dai let out a low sigh, and explained: "It's not that we don't want to go in, it's just that we have the strength to not slack off! The moment our Sword Sect arrived, we discovered that two Demon Lords had turned back into their original forms and were attempting to break open the gate to enter the courtyard. However, when they were about ten meters away from the gate, four beams of golden light shot out from behind the gate. The four beams of light pierced through the two Demon Lords' dantian before they could even react, causing their souls to scatter! After that, an expert of the late stage of Devil Monarch was confident that his cultivation was sufficient to force his way in. However, he did not succeed either, falling ten meters away from the door. Ever since his death, no one dared to forcefully break in again. However, since the Secret Realm has been activated, there is no reason why it should not be opened. Oh right, Fellow Daoist Yi Yan, you should have seen the stone tablet by the door, right? To tell you the truth, although I am already at the peak of the middle stage Immortal Monarch, I can't even see the words on it! "

Yi Yan was shocked. He had wanted to see the contents of the stone tablet previously, but had turned his head and started chatting with Zong Dai only because of his summons. Now that he had heard Zong Dai say this, Yi Yan couldn't help but walk over to the stone tablet once again.

It was just as Zong Dai had said. Although the words on the stone tablet looked very clear at first glance, when Yi Yan looked carefully, he realized that those words seemed to be moving around as if they were alive. He was unable to see them clearly no matter how hard he tried.

With a frown, Yi Yan's Immortal Consciousness spread out and instantly enveloped the stone tablet.

At this time, Zong Dai, who had been looking at him with a smile, changed his expression, and shouted together with the other Sword Sect experts behind him. "Fellow Daoist Yi Yan, you can't!"

< p > However, it was already too late!

The floating golden words on the stone monument suddenly sped up, and a misty golden light shot out from the stone monument straight towards Yi Yan's sea of consciousness!

Its speed was so fast that Yi Yan, who was just inches away from it, simply had no time to stop it!

Yi Yan, who was caught off guard, felt a "boom" in his sea of consciousness.

From its power, one could tell that if it were to attack the soul drop, even if he didn't die, he would still be seriously injured. A decrease in his mental realm by a few levels was unavoidable!

However, the golden light had already pierced through his sea of consciousness, even if Yi Yan wanted to defend, it was already too late!

At the critical moment, the Soul Devouring Pearl that had been hiding beneath Yi Yan's soul droplet suddenly moved!

Like a cheetah protecting its cub, the Soul Devouring Bead fiercely rushed towards the golden light!

At the same time as he charged forward, the gray airflow released by the Soul Devouring Bead merged together in a flash, forming a gray board, and rudely blocked the golden light and the soul drop.

< p > "Bang!"

The violent impact that had occurred in his sea of consciousness caused Yi Yan's body to uncontrollably sway, and a trace of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Although the board that was controlled by the Soul Devouring Bead had successfully blocked the golden light, the strong power that was contained in the golden light still knocked the air into wisps of gray air and it powerlessly escaped. Yi Yan's spirit liquid, on the other hand, was also shaken by the aftermath of the close-range collision and only after a long while was it able to stabilize back down.

< p > "Hu!"

Relying on the Soul Devouring Bead s to escape this calamity, Yi Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

The current him didn't dare to probe the Immortal Consciousness any further into the stone tablet.

"Fellow Daoist Yi Yan, how are you?"

The clash had happened too quickly this time. It was only then that Zong Dai arrived beside Yi Yan and supported him, asking him with a slightly anxious tone.

Yi Yan steadied his body and shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He glanced at the stone tablet that had returned to normal once again with lingering fear in his heart, then turned and walked towards the position of the rest of the Sword Sect.

Yi Yan already knew from their idle conversation with Sword Sect that of the six people who came, besides Liu Yi and Ji Yang, whose cultivation were at the early stages of Immortal Lord and whose master Nie Chi was at the late stages of Immortal Lord, the other two elders Mu Wen and Jiang Feng were both experts at the early stages of Immortal Monarch!

It had to be known, the Sword Sect disciples were far stronger than ordinary immortals. Although Mu Wen and Jiang Feng were only at the early stage of Immortal Monarch, their true combat strength was no weaker than ordinary late stage Immortal Monarch experts!

And even the sect master of the Sword Sect, Zong Dai, who was at the peak of the middle stage of Immortal Monarch, was a pinnacle figure that very few people in the entire Four Realms could compare to!

Yi Yan had no doubt that, in terms of overall strength, none of the sects that came to the Buddhist Sect to compete in Sword Sect!

While the seven of them were talking and laughing, the other forces and Rogue Cultivator s had also arrived one after another.

And when it had been more than half a year since Yi Yan had arrived at the peak of the mountain, and when all the people who were still alive within the Secret Realm had gathered together, a series of "crack" sounds could be heard.

The sound instantly made everyone stop talking.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two red lacquer doors that had been tightly shut for countless years finally opened!
