CHAPTER 550: CHAPTER 550 CAPITAL

As she spoke, Yun Han Immortal could hardly wait any longer. She immediately looked at Elder Jian and said, "Why are you still dawdling? Hurry and bring that girl from the temple!"

At this moment, how could the owner of the Spirit Sword dare to ignore her?

A wise person knows how to adapt to circumstances. Ye Wudao had been here before. She thought Shenjian Gate was locked in a confrontation, even going so far as to murder Yang Tian’s capital.

But now, Ye Wudao is dead. This meant Shenjian Gate had fallen from the altar of the gods, not to mention their position of hegemony in the Northern Region. Now, putting the entire sect in Yang Tian’s hands seemed like the best course of action.

Suddenly, the figure on the Spirit Sword moved lightly, disappearing on the spot.

Mere seconds later, they reappeared and stood beside a woman dressed in white, with a delicate face, as innocent and charming as the girl next door. After discovering Jianxin’s lifeless body on the ground, Ouyang Xu and Lin Shu had dispatched Chen Xue to Shenjian Gate.

Without warning, Divine Sword Elder brought her here. When Chen Xue saw the dilapidated ruins of what had once been the grand gates of the Divine Sword Sect, she was visibly shocked.

Before she could respond, Yun Han Immortal pointed at her furiously and shouted, "You damn girl! What have you done? You’ve brought this catastrophe upon our God Emperor’s Sword Sect. Who ... are you ...

His sister?"

From the moment Chen Xue opened her eyes and threw herself into Yang Tian’s arms, to Yang Tian’s tender, soul-soothing voice, Yun Han Immortal was left utterly stunned.

And then she heard Yang Tian say Chen Xue was his sister. Her mind blanked as she stood rooted to the spot in shock.

Was Chen Xue really Yang Tian’s sister?

The sister who had killed countless elders of the Divine Sword Sect with unmatched power, and had slain Ye Wudao, the most formidable figure in the world?

How could this be?

Wasn’t Chen Xue a humble girl from the Lower Realm?

How could such a girl have such a powerful brother?

Yun Han Immortal immediately shook her head in despair and said, "No... No, that’s impossible! How could SHE be your sister? Shang Xian, Shang Xian, this... Are you mistaken? That... She’s nothing but a lowly failure!"

"A humble failure?"

Yang Tian let out a cold laugh, and with an icy glare directed at Yun Han Immortal, said, "I, too, hail from the Lower Realm."

"You... You also come from the Lower Realm? That ... That’s simply impossible! Let alone the spatial pathways connecting the Lower Realm to us; only cultivators like us know about them. Lower Realm inhabitants couldn’t possibly know. What’s more, the spatial pathway has been mysteriously closed; from the basics... There’s simply no way anyone from the Lower Realm could..."

Yun Han Immortal trailed off mid-sentence as a horrifying thought struck her. With a terror-stricken gaze, she looked at Yang Tian and said, "Did you... Did you shut down the spatial pathway?"

"Indeed! The Ancestor shut it down!"

Yang Tian stood straight and proud, his presence radiating power like a shining beacon.

"That... That’s not possible! Even if you possess immense strength, navigating a tumultuous spatial dock is unstable. How did you even arrive here? Moreover, with Qinglong Jianzhong and the Heavenly Sword Masters of my Divine Sword Sect guarding the spatial pathway, how could you pass without alerting them? How did you evade them?" Yun Han Immortal asked incredulously.

"Evade?"

Yang Tian suddenly burst into laughter, as though he had heard the most absurd joke in the world. He sneered and said, "Do you think the Ancestor needed to evade them?"

The moment he spoke, Yun Han Immortal drew in a sharp breath. The frightening realization returned to her, and she stared at Yang Tian in disbelief. "Did you... Did you kill them? That... That’s impossible! To say nothing of Qinglong Jianzhong... He’s the Vice Emperor of Jianling Sect, you... You..."

Yun Han Immortal could no longer speak.

Because even though Qinglong Jianzhong was overwhelmingly powerful, he was merely caught in the middle, sandwiched between Ye Wudao.

Today, Yang Tian had killed Ye Wudao right in front of her and numerous Divine Sword Sect disciples. Thus, it wasn’t impossible that Qinglong Jianzhong, too, was slain by Yang Tian.

Yang Tian’s voice turned indifferent as he continued, "The so-called Qinglong Jianzhong? The Ancestor has already exacted their demise, along with your Sword Sect God Lu Yunsheng and their fearsome blade. As for the Heavenly Sword, of Wanhua Valley, Lan Yueliang and Yue Yue themselves pledged their allegiance to Ben Village, defending its lands!"

Hearing Yang Tian admit it outright, Yun Han Immortal was utterly despairing.

With Yang Tian truly being a man from the Lower Realm and undeniably Chen Xue’s elder brother, the motivation behind leveling Shenjian Gate became crystal clear.

Yang Tian had long known that Yun Han Immortal intended to exploit Chen Xue. Today, he came to rescue her.

In other words, all the calamities that befell the Divine Sword Sect were the result of Yun Han Immortal’s scheming.

But she had never imagined her desire to abduct a downtrodden and seemingly insignificant woman from the Lower Realm would lead to such a devastating outcome!

Realizing this, Yun Han Immortal turned sharply, igniting her internal immortal power in frantic escape.

Because now that Yang Tian was Chen Xue’s elder brother, what opportunity did she have to strike?

Thus, her only chance was to flee and cling to survival!

But Yun Han Immortal was attempting to flee from none other than Yang Tian, a man who effortlessly massacred individuals like Ye Wudao and Qinglong Jianzhong.

Yang Tian slowly extended his palm and sneered, "Run? Do you think you can escape from my sight? Return to the Ancestor!"

Boom!

Yun Leng Immortal, who had just managed to flee from the entrance of the Divine Sword Sect’s mountain gate, was immediately caught by an irresistible force emanating from Yang Tian’s palm, pulling her back in an instant.

Even though she poured every ounce of her Three Sages power into resisting and desperately tried to escape, she couldn’t withstand the overwhelming gravitational force. Powerless, she was dragged back to Yang Tian’s side, collapsing feebly to her knees.

Watching the despair and hopelessness in Yun Han Immortal’s eyes, Yang Tian showed no mercy. He raised his hand and said, "If you wished to harm my sister, you should’ve prepared yourself to face death!"

As he spoke, Yang Tian’s hand began to strike.

"Brother Yang, stop!"

At that moment, everything stopped.

A month passed in the blink of an eye!

Although Shenjian Gate had been reduced to rubble during the battle that had shocked the entire Xiu Zhen world, cultivators wield the power to reshape landscapes. Within half a month, Divine Arrow Sect had rebuilt its grandeur. Of course, this was largely due to Yang Tian directly entering Chenjian Sect on that fateful day and initiating combat. While the long-standing battle to protect the reigning Emperor had failed in stopping him, neither had it resulted in the complete destruction of Shenjian Gate.

This also left the outside world unable to deduce or understand that the God of the Divine Sword Sect was no longer the original.

As for Yang Tian, he naturally took up temporary residence within Shenjian Gate.

Regarding Yang Tian’s stay, the remaining Spirit Sword elders dared not utter a word of complaint to the disciples of Shenjian Gate.

For one, they simply didn’t dare!

After all, they had witnessed Yang Tian single-handedly wipe out Ye Wudao, the gatekeeper, and countless elders.

Not to mention the later annihilation of figures like Qinglong Jianzhong.

Where could they find the courage to defy such power?

More than fear, there was external pressure!

Once flourishing with branches and elders aplenty, Shenjian Gate had been the true leader of the Northern Region.

Consequently, the disciples of Shenjian Gate had never regarded other sects in the Northern Region seriously, accumulating a staggering amount of animosity!

If other sects found out that the Divine Sword Sect was now isolated, they would undoubtedly launch their offensive. At that point, the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect might only have one-tenth of their original strength remaining!
