Chapter 464: Chapter 242: Gathering of the Strong, Seeing
Jade Heart Again – Part 2
“But now, the Demon Cave has evolved to such a terrifying extent, there must have been something we don’t know about that led to its complete failure, not only has the Demon Cave formed, but it has also become established.” “However, these matters are for the True Monarchs and Spirit Transformation Experts to consider. Our Xuandan Sect, just needs to honestly defend this area.” Taking a pause, Zhuge Wu You stopped sending messages and spoke with an invigorated expression on his face.
“My junior should know after attending the Heavenly Mystery Event, that Junior Brother Qin was ranked 88th on the Master List, precisely because he killed three Heavenly Demon Kings equivalent to the Late-stage Golden Core more than forty years ago.”
“Although only one of the three Heavenly Demon Kings was comparable to the Late-stage Golden Core when Junior Brother Han’s used his skills, his effortless slaying wasn’t inferior to Junior Brother Qin.”
“As such, as long as Junior Brother Han can keep himself safe, our Xuandan Sect and the Golden Core masters on the Master List will definitely not have any problems.”
Han Yi’s face remained calm while looking at the Demon Cave that overshadowed the sky in the distance, feeling both heavyhearted and relieved.
With Qin Wuxian’s death, the pressure on him now was indeed great.
However, his current strength was definitely not inferior to Qin Wuxian’s, and moreover, his Sword Control Skill had reached the peak of Returning to the Truth. As long as he made a breakthrough, he could even compete with the top 30 of the True Master List, and Golden Core Peak cultivators.
He felt heavy because the Xuandan Sect faced numerous external dangers and relief because his cultivation base had reached this point, which could be considered a great fortune in misfortune.
Three days later.
Another group of Heavenly Demons attacked. This time, there was only one Heavenly Demon King, but this Heavenly Demon King was stronger than the previous one. Han Yi used his Sword Control Skill to fight, and slashed it down with his sword in three breaths.
With Han Yi sweeping through the battlefield, Zhuge Wu You was able to free his hands to team up with other Foundation Establishment Elders and kill the Greater Heavenly Demons, minimizing casualties this time.
After that.
The appearances of Heavenly Demons grew more frequent, occurring every day, but all the Heavenly Demon Kings were slain by Han Yi’s sword, making his Sword Control Skill stronger and stronger.
One month later.
Outside the Demon Cave.
A Heavenly Demon King equivalent to the Late-stage Golden Core roared and attacked Han Yi but was pierced by a golden light. Shortly after, the light flickered, and the True Body of the Heavenly Demon was completely killed.
Han Yi, who had used the Traceless Sword, suddenly stopped. The speed of the golden light had increased to more than three times its original speed.
[Sword Control Skill (Breaking through the Mortal and Entering the Holy 1/100)].
Han Yi sheathed his sword and took a deep breath.
From the Qi Cultivation Stage, his Sword Control Skill had been his main combat ability. Now that it had broken through into Breaking through the Mortal and Entering the Holy, Han Yi’s combat power had soared again.
Zhuge Wu You, who was not far away, also noticed Han Yi’s breakthrough and showed a delighted expression.
However.
On the third day after Han Yi’s Sword Control Skill breakthrough.
The Demon Cave shook, and the overwhelming Demon Energy slowly spread outward, one step at a time, engulfing the area occupied by the Xuandan Sect. Zhuge Wu You and Han Yi immediately organized the sect disciples to retreat.
“It’s the Heavenly Demon Array, there’s a new Heavenly Demon Array set up nearby.”
“This means there’s a Heavenly Demon Lord nearby. You must be careful. A Heavenly Demon Lord is at the same level as a True Monarch. If you encounter a Heavenly Demon Lord, Han Yi, you must escape on your own without worrying about the others. Remember, remember.”
Zhuge Wu You’s face looked terrible, and Han Yi’s heart was also filled with alarm bells.
Three days later.
A Demon Extermination Guard holding a token arrived at Xuandan Sect’s post, gathered the Gold Core cultivators of Xuandan Sect, and cooperated in entering the Demon Cave to remove the Heavenly Demon Array. Although Zhuge Wu You was reluctant, he could only watch Han Yi leave helplessly.
Han Yi gave him a reassuring look, but how could he be at ease?
“There must not be any accidents.”
“Han Yi, you are the only hope for Xuandan Sect now.”
On the other side.
Following the Demon Extermination Guard, Han Yi flew out several kilometers and saw more than a dozen cultivators standing silently in the void ahead.
They were all Gold Core cultivators. In front of them, there were two figures emitting a thick and heavy aura.
These were actually two True Monarchs.
Before this, Han Yi had already made his mark among the True Monarchs of Daqian, and was no longer ignorant. Moreover, he had seen one of these two True Monarchs previously.
Standing on the left was the one he had met, the commander of the Zhenbei Residence, True Monarch Tan Li, whom Han Yi had met once during the Blood Demon battlefield eight years ago.
Standing on the right was a True Monarch he had never met before, but from his appearance, Han Yi knew he should be the True Monarch of Southern Dipper Divine Palace called Xu Su Monarch.
Han Yi’s heart was stern.
On the Blood Demon battlefield, under Qin Wuxian’s guidance, Duke Zhennbei had tried to set a trap for him, indicating that Duke Zhennbei disliked Han Yi. Han Yi did not know the reason for this, but it did not prevent him from knowing one fact: Tan Li, as the commander of Duke Tan Xiao’s Zhennbei Residence, would naturally have no good feelings towards Han Yi.
As for True Monarch Xu Su of Southern Dipper Divine Palace, it goes without saying.
After Yuan Shun left seclusion, he killed Jiang Jiuge, severely injured Liu Su Monarch with one strike. Although this was mainly a private grievance between Xuandan Sect and Blood God Sect, Liu Su Monarch’s injury had caused Southern Dipper Divine Palace to lose face, so Xu Su Monarch naturally had no good feelings towards Xuandan Sect.
Although Han Yi was not afraid, he was still secretly on high alert.
Before the crisis of the Demon Cave, these two wouldn’t dare to attack him directly, but they might engage in small actions, so he had to be cautious.
A moment later.
One after another, Demon Extermination Guards brought Gold Core cultivators to join them. Han Yi’s eyes flashed, and he also saw two familiar faces..
