"You're Saber Saint Lin Fei!" The Hidden Sword Sect disciple was overcome with emotion. To him, Lin Fei was not just a name. It was a symbol. A symbol of miracles. Even he had to admit that among the three martial saints of Great Chang, Lin Fei stood supreme. Even his master, Sword Saint Liu Yibai, paled in comparison to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei had destroyed sects like the Sky Reaching Sect, something that even the ancestors of Great Chang couldn't accomplish. After his rise, Lin Fei was undefeated in battle, becoming the Saber Saint and standing atop the entirety of Great Chang.

As outsiders like Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons began to wreak havoc in Great Chang, many yearned for the return of Saber Saint Lin Fei to restore order. And now, he was back.

Lin Fei casually placed the Hidden Sword Sect disciple at the Sword Tomb. Standing in the void, he felt the presence of eight auras locking onto him - eight Golden Core True Persons. Leading them was True Person Youming, who immediately recognized that Lin Fei was a Martial Sovereign.

In Great Chang, far from the Ancient Continent, every Martial Sovereign and Golden Core True Person needed to be extra cautious, cause unsure of the abilities of others.

"Eight Golden Core cultivators, all here," Lin Fei remarked calmly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. The next moment, a massive Life Wheel appeared behind him, its oppressive aura instantly descending upon the area.

True Person Youming's heart tightened at the sight. Six layers of radiance, indicating six Divine Abilities, meant Lin Fei was in the middle phase of Martial Sovereign. They were just ordinary Golden Core True Persons. Facing a middle-phase Martial Sovereign would be a challenge. Moreover, Lin Fei's Life Wheel's aura seemed even stronger than other top-tier Martial Sovereigns they had encountered.

As the Life Wheel's pressure bore down, the Golden Core True Persons felt their entire bodies shaking, sensing extreme danger.

Panicking, True Person Youming quickly pleaded, "Stop! Whatever you want, we'll give! Do you want the Hidden Sword Sect? Take it! We came for treasures, but now we don't even have clues. There's no need for conflict. Let's not make a mockery of ourselves."

With a near-silent swish, Lin Fei unleashed a strike. Silently, yet decisively, the saber cleaved through the midst of the four esteemed Golden Core True Persons. Instantly, the two on the left quivered, their bodies disintegrating as if eroded by the wind. They crumbled to dust before one's very eyes, leaving not a trace behind.

On the right stood two other Golden Core figures, one of whom was True Person Youming. They conjured their most formidable protective magical treasures but to no avail. As Lin Fei's Dual-World Saber descended, their expressions froze. Soon after, they were plunged into darkness, the very essence of life fleeing from them.

With a muted thud, the bodies of the two Golden Core True Persons were crushed by the overwhelming force of the Gravity Domain, transforming into a mist of blood. Such was the power of the Dual-World Saber: one strike severed the body, another obliterated the soul.

At that moment, all eight Golden Core True Persons lay dead. The disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect, currently within the Sword Tomb, stared into the void in disbelief, as if he couldn't trust his own eyes. With a heavy thud, he fell to his knees, tears of reverence flowing down.

"Venerable seniors of the Hidden Sword Sect," he cried, "Do you see this? The eight Golden Core adversaries have met their end at the hands of the Saber Saint Lin. Our sect's deep-seated vengeance has been avenged!"

"Since you are a disciple of the Hidden Sword Sect, then live on and rebuild your glorious sect. If you face challenges, present this token to the Nine Profound Sect for aid."

Lin Fei handed over a token to the disciple. Without further ado, he transformed into a streak of light and departed from the Hidden Sword Sect. In this world, no sect is everlasting. Whether the Hidden Sword Sect would rise from its calamity was a matter of fate.

...

On the thirteenth of April, in the second year of Changping, Lin Fei, the esteemed elder of the Nine Profound Sect, and the National Guardian Martial Saint, returned. In a quest to avenge his dear friend, Sword Saint Liu Yibai, Lin Fei confronted eight Golden Core True Persons at the Hidden Sword Sect. Single-handedly, with his saber, he vanquished all of them.

As word spread, the Golden Core True Persons trembled, the Martial Sovereigns were shaken, and the world was in awe.
