CH 256

At Broken Sword Peak, Shui Wuxin was holding his white jade sword and dressed in white, looking like an exiled immortal. He gazed warily at the two immortal emissaries blocking his path and asked in surprise, “Why are the two emissaries ambushing me?”

“Heh, you hid the blood Iris. You’re lucky to only be ambushed. Tell me! Where did you hide the Iris?”

Although Shui Wuxin’s cultivation level was not as high as the two emissaries, he was a cultivator of great status in this world. He had never suffered such an insult before. His heart flashed with annoyance and he laughed bitterly, “Gentlemen, if I have hidden the Blood Iris, why wouldn’t I consume it alone? If I had, my cultivation would have increased greatly, and I would not be under your control. I don’t know where the Iris is. ”

The two emissaries looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

One of the emissaries snorted coldly, “You are so clever, but we felt the aura of the Iris outside the ice cave. One person may have been wrong, but how can we both be wrong? ”

“How would I know? That cave is only a place of execution. It has been sealed for thousands of years and has only been used now. The lightning head that should have automatically gone back into the secret treasure after the punishment disappeared. It was you two who first entered that cave, so I would like to ask, where did that lightning head go? ”

“Heh, Shui Wuxin, you’re good. How dare a thief shout out, “thief!” How should we know the whereabouts of the Nine-Nine Days lightning head of your Ten Thousand Sword Sect.”

“Do you think I didn’t see you coveting the secret treasure left when we were in the ice cave? I originally thought that since you two were powerful cultivators from the upper realms, you’d not sully your status and capacity. I never expected that you didn’t care about that. You not only stole our secret treasure, but now you’re trying to frame me for stealing the blood Iris. If I had the blood Iris, why would I keep it until now? I’d have already soared to the heavens! ”

The two emissaries thought that Shui Wuxin had hidden the Iris, while Shui Wuxin thought that the two emissaries had stolen the Ninety-Nine Days lightning head.

The atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.

Suddenly, one of the emissaries let out a loud laugh, and haughtily unleashed a pressure that could bring one to their knees!

“How dare a small cultivator from the lower realms be so rude to our Immortal Venerable Emissaries? Shui Wuxin, we will not kill you today, but just wait. You will pay a painful price for what you have done! ”

With these words, the two emissaries beckoned a feather to cut through the void. They sneered at Shui Wuxin, who was kneeling on the ground, shocked by their might, and disappeared through the void.

……..

Ten days later, the cloudless blue sky suddenly swelled with dark waves and thunder!

Shui Wuxin had been injured a few days before and had just gotten better. He looked up at the thunder clouds and was horrified by the pressure that had built up in the clouds. He immediately gathered the ten peak elders.

“Listen to me, all of you. The emissaries of the Immortal Venerable from the upper world have betrayed their trust and justice. They stole the Ninety-Nine tribulation lightning head from our Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and now they intend to destroy it. Take all the disciples with you and leave through the back of the mountain. Whether to escape from the cultivation world or to flee from disaster, just leave quickly! ”

After a pause, he looked at the sad-looking Shui Kongling and sighed, “I am afraid that my destiny with you ends today. I will open the mountain protection formation after you’ve left, so I may be able to resist for a while. In the future, you can only rely on your efforts.…”

Shui Wuxin never intended to have a smooth life. He found a female cultivator of his choice back then, but only his daughter, Shui Kongling, was his vermilion mole. Now that his daughter has forgotten him, what is left for him to hold on to?

He was only ashamed of facing the ancestors of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. It had stood in this world for thousands of years, and he never expected that it would be destroyed in his hands.

“Senior brother, we have grown up in the sect since we were young. Now that the sect is in trouble, how can we sit back and be the shrinking tortoises? I am willing to fight for the Ten Thousand Sword Sect! ”

“I am willing to fight for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!”

“I will fight for the Ten Thousand Sword Sect!”

Under Taiji Square, nearly half of the people looked up to the sky and shouted, all refusing to leave!

Shui Wuxin’s heart throbbed with emotion. These were the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. Even though they had many conflicts during the day, when the sect was in danger, they could walk hand in hand!

He soon noticed Shui Kongling. Her gaze was now firm, her determination overflowing.

Shui Wuxin scolded himself for being careless. He could die, and others could be martyred for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but Shui Kongling must live and rise to the top of the heavens!

Black clouds pressed down on the mountain. The disciples who did not want to go down with the sect had left one by one through the back of the mountain.

The dark clouds turned in the sky and gathered in a huge whirlpool.

“Pa!” A huge ball of fire came down from the vortex and directly hit the disciples who were escaping through the back.

In just an instant, those disciples were reduced to ashes without even having the chance to scream.

“Hahahahaha, want to escape? Today, not a single one of you from this Ten Thousand Sword Sect will be able to leave! ”

High in the sky, a deafening voice passed through the clouds into the lower realm. Countless huge fireballs smashed down from the vortex, ruthlessly smashing into the mountain protection formation.

The remaining disciples were desperately trying to channel their inner strength into the Mountain Protection Formation. They thought that if they combined their efforts, they could still resist the Immortal Venerable for a while, but in fact, the fireballs alone had exhausted them, and the Mountain Protection Formation was about to break!

Seeing the disciples being burnt to ashes by the fireballs, Shui Wuxin gritted his teeth and brought Shui Kongling to the demon mystic realm through Taiji Square.

Shui Kongling was still at the foundation establishment stage. She could still enter the mystic realm with her cultivation level. It had an ancient miraculous formation that even an immortal could not break!

The demon mystic realm would close soon, and cultivators inside would be ejected before it closed. However, if one hid in the place of seclusion, they could stay inside for ten more years.

In ten years, the Immortal Venerable would have left! At this point, this was the only way to save his daughter’s life.

Shui Wuxin did not wait for Shui Kongling to react before he pointed his index finger at her temple and channelled a section of spiritual energy into it. “Listen to me, Kongling. Take this jade slip to the Demon Clan’s mystic realm. Follow the route in your mind to hide in the place of seclusion, and come out after ten years! ”

“No! The Ten Thousand Sword Sect is my home. How can I abandon my home and run away alone?” Shui Kongling looked at the jade slip and shook her head to push it back.”

“Don’t be foolish! Take a look at this huge sect. The disciples who were escaping were all burned to ashes, and this great mountain protection formation looks like it will soon break. The only one who can escape this calamity is you, as you can enter the demon mystic realm! You are the only one who still has a chance to revitalise our clan; you are the hope of our clan! The mystic realm is completely cut off from the outside world. Even if we want to inform the disciples inside of what’s happening outside, it won’t help. But you can! Do you understand? ”

Shui Wuxin looked at the young girl in front of him with a firm and amiable gaze. Countless images of the time he spent with his daughter flashed through his mind; a small baby, a noisy young girl, a flamboyant young girl; no matter what age she was, he had been involved.

In the blink of an eye, the treasure in the palm of his hand had grown into a capable woman.

Shui Wuxin let out a long sigh, his heart was suddenly very calm. “Child, take the jade slip, find your fellow disciples of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and hide with them in the place of seclusion. In ten years, if you still have the desire to revitalize my Ten Thousand Sword Sect, go to the Immortal Spirit Sect and look for Daoist Tianlong. He is the head of the Immortal Spirit Sect and a good friend of mine. He will help you. ”

Without using such a reason, Shui Kongling would not listen to his words given her stubborn character.

Sure enough, Shui Kongling thought about his words for a long time before she gritted her teeth and clenched the jade slip with tears streaming down her face, “Okay, Sect Master, I promise you that I will revitalise the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!”

Tears wet her cheeks, and through the mist, she looked up at the tall man with silver hair, white clothes, and gentle eyes in front of her.

“Sect Master, I ……” Shui Kongling murmured, hesitantly speaking.

Shui Wuxin saw that she wanted to say something but was hesitating. A bit of hope appeared in his eyes and his gaze burned into her.

But Shui Kongling opened her mouth several times and finally only sighed, “Then I will go, Master. You must survive!”

A look of disappointment appeared in Shui Wuxin’s eyes as he steeled himself and nodded his head. Seeing the increasingly violent fireballs smashing down in the sky, Shui Wuxin no longer hesitated and handed his White Jade Sword to Shui Kongling, saying, “Although you don’t remember, I am really your father. This white jade sword is made from my heart and blood, and only my own family can use it. You are my child. Carry this sword by your side. It may be able to protect you if there is any danger.”

The great mountain protection formation in the sky was now cracking. Shui Wuxin saw this, and he pushed Shui Kongling into the Demon Clan’s mystic realm. On the horizon, a huge translucent phantom appeared out of thin air.

Holding a zither, he sat cross-legged on top of a lotus throne. His face was so majestic and solemn that people dared not look directly at him.

“Shui Wuxin, quickly bring out the blood Iris, and this lord might be able to leave your body intact.”

“Hahahaha, I have lived for a thousand years and have long since put life and death on the line. But, Immortal Venerable, I don’t have the Iris in my possession! If you didn’t believe me, you could have searched my Ten Thousand Swords Sect carefully. But you listened to the slanderous words of a villain and condemned us at will! If you want to inflict a crime, there is no excuse! Are you aware that those two emissaries stole the Nine-Nine tribulation Lightning head left behind by my ancestors?”

In the sky, the phantom sneered, “I will pass my judgement on them. How dare a little mole be so rude to me? It’s just an intermediate realm. I will destroy your Ten Thousand Sword Sect today and make an example of you! ” As soon as the phantom of the immortal venerable flicked the string, the great mountain protection formation instantly shattered.

Before the crowd could recover from their shock, a rain of fire fell from the sky!!!
