Chapter 1966 (Raw 2064): Chaotic Situation
Back at the herb garden:
When Murong Yan and the others worked together, they were practically unrivaled. Without a Sovereign Personage around, they were overlords among Holy Venerates.
The Divine Dragon bloodline that they possessed was a great weapon for them. No one dared to contest with them.
Murong Yan and the others took close to eighty percent of the resources in the herb garden, an ample harvest.
“Why is Xiao Chen not back up yet?” Liu Ruyun asked somewhat worriedly as she looked at the gurgling spring water and collected it.
Standing at the side, Wei Hongfei laughed. “Don’t worry. He is blessed. Back then, when we were in the Abyssal Underworld, even Rakshasa Tian’s clone could not do anything to him when it appeared. It will be the same this time; nothing will happen to him.”
Liu Ruyun said, “However, that Liu Yuanzong is a Sovereign Personage. Although he is only an Initial Perfection Sovereign Personage, he is still someone that Holy Venerates can’t match up to. The difference is too great.”
When cultivations differed by too much, resulting in a huge disparity in strength, trump cards would be useless, no matter how many there were.
A Sovereign Personage’s will of soul could immediately suppress Holy Venerates.
No matter how many trump cards there were, there would not be time or space for one to bring them out. No matter how Xiao Chen was unrivaled among Holy Venerates, he was still a long way from a Sovereign Personage.
Wei Hongfei asked, “Would you like to hear my opinion?”
When Liu Ruyun saw Wei Hongfei’s serious expression, she replied, “What opinion?”
Wei Hongfei said, “I keep feeling that Xiao Chen is hiding a side of him from everyone. The strength that he has shown so far has all been restrained. It is like he is hiding it intentionally, not wanting others to know about it.”
Liu Ruyun said, “You are doubting Xiao Chen. How can you do that? He has saved you before.”
Wei Hongfei sighed softly and said, “Of course, I know that. I told you my opinion only so that you won’t worry about Xiao Chen. Even if he cannot defeat a Sovereign Personage, I believe it should not be difficult for him to flee from one. Contrary to expectations, our absence allows him to bring out his full strength without any qualms.”
Liu Ruyun pondered Wei Hongfei’s words. She felt that his words made sense.
In reality, Xiao Chen also gave her a feeling that he was shrouded in mystery.
There were many unfathomable areas, which Liu Ruyun found strange. Furthermore, Xiao Chen’s face perfectly matched the blank face in her elder sister’s paintings.
Liu Ruyun refused to believe that there was no relation at all.
As the two chatted, the herb garden’s barrier suddenly suffered an intense blow.
The entire herb garden shook.
Liu Ruyun’s and Wei Hongfei’s expressions changed at the same time. They looked up and said, “Someone is using a Soul Tool to attack the herb garden’s barrier!”
“What’s going on?!”
“Who is coming? To think that they are using Soul Tools. Could it be the Rank 6 sects?”
“Didn’t they go to the city center? How come they have Soul Tools to spare to attack the herb garden’s barrier?”
The cultivators collecting resources all over the herb garden flustered. If attacked by Soul Tools, they would not be able to flee.
“Gather together,” Wei Hongfei called out, and Murong Yan and the other Dragon’s Gate disciples quickly regrouped. All of them showed grave expressions.
“Boom!”
There was another horrifying attack, and a huge hole appeared in the herb garden’s barrier. Then, a few figures shot through the hole.
The leader of this group held a resplendent sword that emanated a strong might and pressure, shocking everyone still.
“The Ice Cloud Sword!”
“It’s the people from the Ruling Sword Gate!”
Liu Ruyun’s and the others’ expressions flickered. The Ruling Sword Gate cultivator holding the Icy Cloud Sword was Qi Yunfeng, someone that they had a history with.
“Hahaha! Let’s see what I discovered. A herb garden that was left by a True God. I definitely struck it rich this time!”
When Qi Yunfeng saw the medicinal spring and the pill river, joy appeared on his face.
His junior brothers behind him rejoiced, as well. They said, “Senior Brother Qi, congratulations! The value of this herb garden is much higher than what we obtained earlier.”
“Trying to leave? All of you stand still!”
Seeing that there were people trying to sneak away, Qi Yunfeng quickly swung his sword.
The sword locked down on the aura of the person fleeing, and his soul immediately froze.
That person looked just like an ordinary person. However, his body turned still, as if he had frozen, unable to move.
“Shatter!” Qi Yunfeng shouted, and that person immediately shattered into countless ice shards as strands of terrifying icy sword Qi shot out from that person’s body.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Sword Qi swept through the place. The expressions of the cultivators in the herb garden changed markedly as they scrambled to dodge.
Some could not dodge in time. The sword Qi pierced their bodies and quickly sealed them in ice, turning them into ice statues.
“Behave. Our Senior Brother Qi does not want to start a massacre. Hand over all your gains from the herb garden, and you can leave. Otherwise...well, you’ve seen how these people ended up,” a Ruling Sword Gate disciple behind Qi Yunfeng threatened coldly.
“Senior Brother, there are a few Divine Dragon Empire cultivators who blocked the sword Qi!”
“What?!”
Qi Yunfeng’s eyes swept around and immediately landed on Liu Ruyun and the others. After being stunned for a moment, he laughed loudly, “Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting! Bastards from the Divine Dragon Empire, it is truly unexpected that we meet again so quickly.”
Seeing that the other cultivators were still stunned, unwilling to hand over their gains from the herb garden, the other disciples of the Ruling Sword Gate got angry.
“Are you still not handing over your gains? Do you all want to die?!”
Murong Yan said indifferently, “Hand them over, my ass. You are just relying on a Soul Tool, relying on something to intimidate others. Without that sword, this great me would beat you up in a second and teach you a lesson.”
Qi Yunfeng smiled coldly. “Even at the critical moment, you dare to talk back. If I don’t teach you lot a lesson, you truly won’t recognize how incredible I am. The others may leave. Today, you lot will remain here!”
“Many thanks, Young Master Qi!”
“Young Master Qi is truly imposing!”
“Young Master Qi truly has great judgment. They monopolized more than eighty percent of the natural treasures in this herb garden. We are just small fries.”
After hearing what Qi Yunfeng said, the other cultivators in the herb garden rejoiced as they quickly fled.
Test him out first. If he has only this Ice Cloud Sword, we will not need to fear him, given our strength. He won’t be able to bring out much of its might. Situ Changfeng’s voice rang out in the minds of the other four Dragon’s Gate disciples.
Should we leave?
We can’t leave. Who knows what Xiao Chen’s situation is now? If he comes out and his combat prowess is negatively impacted, he’ll have trouble dealing with this Ice Cloud Sword, Wei Hongfei answered. His voice sounded incredibly calm as it rang out in their minds.
Right.
“Die!”
Qi Yunfeng did not give the five much time to think. Once the others left, he instantly attacked.
While Qi Yunfeng controlled the Ice Cloud Sword, the Ruling Sword Gate disciples behind him did not dare to be careless.
As Qi Yunfeng executed a Secret Technique, his supporters’ Soul Energy and Veritable Essence Energy continuously drained, pouring into the Ice Cloud Sword.
It turned out that Qi Yunfeng was not alone in controlling this sword. The entire group controlled it at the same time.
The Ruling Sword Gate’s upper echelon clearly wanted this group of disciples to use the Soul Tool to sweep up the resources of the other areas while the upper echelon headed for the center of the city to search for that mysterious energy source.
This was a rather excellent move.
Even a Sovereign Personage would fear the might of a Soul Tool. Even if only ten to twenty percent of a Soul Tool’s might could be unleashed, it would already be sufficiently horrifying.
“Boom!”
When this sword hacked down, Murong Yan and the others were knocked into the air after they blocked it.
As the sword light surged out, the icy sword Qi felt unblockable.
The most important thing was that the Ice Cloud Sword’s Sword Might spread out in all directions, covering the entire herb garden and greatly suppressing everyone’s strength.
Murong Yan wiped away the blood on his lips. Flames burned on his entire body, negating the cold Qi. He smiled and said, “That is quite strong. However, that’s all there is to it. Qi Yunfeng, put in more effort. That is not all you are capable of, right?”
“You bastard. I’ll kill you! Ice Cloud Sword, Besieging the City!”
Murong Yan’s mockery enraged Qi Yunfeng, prompting him to execute the Secret Technique in the Soul Tool and lock it down on Murong Yan alone.
“Good job. It’s our turn now!”
It turned out that the group had discussed this. Murong Yan’s job was to draw the aggro while the rest would take out Qi Yunfeng in one go.
When facing the Soul Tool’s Secret Technique, Murong Yan did not dare to be careless. He instantly activated his Great Desolate Eon bloodline and struck with his Blood Devouring Dragon Fist.
As Murong Yan’s body gave off a bloodlike glow, a bloody dragon fist light shot at the brilliant sword light.
“Damn it! I fell for their trap. Bring out the Sword Might and protect me.”
After Qi Yunfeng attacked, he realized that he had been fooled. He saw Wei Hongfei and the others charging at him like a beam of cold light, startling him.
The other Ruling Sword Gate disciples quickly made their move, helping to control the Ice Cloud Sword.
Finally, right before the other four Dragon’s Gate disciples charged over, the Ice Cloud Sword’s Sword Might withdrew and encased them all.
“Boom!”
The various Dragon Race Martial Techniques clashed chaotically with the Sword Might. The Sword Might lasted for but a moment before it broke.
This immediately sent Qi Yunfeng and the others flying, and they vomited blood when they hit the ground.
However, the Sword Might had neutralized a large portion of the force. Although Qi Yunfeng’s group was in a sorry state, none of the Ruling Sword Gate disciples suffered any major injury.
When Liu Ruyun and the others saw this scene, they felt slightly disappointed. They immediately withdrew to protect the severely injured Murong Yan.
“Haha! Qi Yunfeng, you truly are an embarrassment to the Rank 6 sects. Even with the Ice Cloud Sword in hand, you are actually unable to finish off a group of Holy Venerates.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Just at this moment, many figures suddenly appeared in the herb garden. The true inheritors of the other three Rank 6 sects had poured in.
The leading disciples of each sect held a Soul Tool in their hands. The situation instantly turned exceptionally chaotic.
“You all!” This development shocked Qi Yunfeng. He had not expected so many Soul Tools to show up.
“Humph! Do you think that only your Ruling Sword Gate is smart while the other Rank 6 sects are fools? We have been following you. Haha! To think that you thought yourself unrivaled. This herb garden is ours now!”
