CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 246 MOON CLAN_2

He did this for only one purpose, which was to ensure not a single person from Netherworld Palace escaped.

Since he was going to annihilate Netherworld Palace, he naturally had to do it thoroughly.

Such a big commotion naturally immediately alarmed the experts from Netherworld Palace inside Heavenly Sword Manor.

Soon, two powerful Longevity Secret Realm auras soared into the sky.

Following closely were numerous Netherworld Palace martial artists beginning to set up in an orderly manner, and the original Mountain Protection Array was also operating at its peak.

Unfortunately, under the suppression of the twelve-array formation arranged by Li Qian, this Mountain Protection Array only lasted for a moment before it seemed to be overwhelmed and was torn open with a huge gap.

Li Qian waved his hand, and the Two Forms Spirit Sword shot out.

Since he was going to make a move, it naturally had to be a thunderous strike.

The two Longevity Secret Realm experts from Netherworld Palace suddenly saw the formation being torn open, followed immediately by a dazzling red and white Sword Qi descending from the sky, glowing with terrifying lightning.

The two hurriedly joined forces to resist, releasing surging spiritual power, which turned into a powerful attack.

But under the Two Forms Spirit Sword, their attack was vulnerable and was instantly shattered, followed by tearing apart their Protective Spirit Shield effortlessly.

Buzz!

Under the suppression of the terrifying Sword Dao Rhythm, the Myriad Phenomena Martial Intent of the two was almost useless, rendering them unable to mobilize the power of their Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, and they could only watch as the sword light pierced through their bodies.

"Spirit Sword..."

Their eyes widened in disbelief, "and... Dao..."

The next moment, two charred bodies fell from the sky.

Their heads were pierced through.

Their primordial spirits were directly annihilated by the thunder power contained in the Spirit Sword.

"It’s really so easy and simple."

Li Qian smiled slightly.

In the previous strike, he used the Thunder Sword from the Divine Firmament Nine Swords, the Two Forms Spirit Sword, and the Sword Dao Rhythm.

The combination of the three instantly annihilated the two Longevity Secret Realm experts.

Although these two were only at Return to Void level ten or so steps... they were still Longevity Realm.

But they had no resistance in front of him and were annihilated instantly.

"According to the information provided by Lin Qingping, Netherworld Palace has long stationed three Longevity Secret Realm experts at Heavenly Sword Manor. Now there are only two, likely because the other is in Return to Void."

Li Qian pondered to himself.

Then he looked in one direction, "Daoist Qingping, the two Longevity Secret Realm experts have fallen, I’ll leave the cleanup to you."

He did not kill those Netherworld Palace’s Supreme Saints or Martial Saints... as a Longevity Secret Realm expert, he naturally disdained taking action.

As for how the people of Heavenly Sword Manor would handle it, that was none of his concern.

After saying this, Li Qian put away the Array Plate and Array Flag, his figure flickered with lightning, and he disappeared.

Meanwhile, figures appeared outside Heavenly Sword Manor.

They were the survivors of Heavenly Sword Manor, such as Lin Qingping.

Lin Qingping and the other two Longevity Secret Realm experts were all dumbfounded.

They had long been lurking near Heavenly Sword Manor, but how long did it take from when Daoist Qian Yuan made his move to annihilate the two Netherworld Palace Longevity Secret Realm experts?

"Is this the power of a Spiritual Artifact?"

Elder Bai sighed.

The fact that he survived the last destruction of Heavenly Sword Manor was indeed very lucky.

"Lord Manor, Daoist Qian Yuan, did he really refine the Two Forms Spirit Sword?"

The other Longevity Secret Realm expert couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes."

Lin Qingping nodded.

Elder Bai and the other person didn’t know what to say.

Refining one Spirit Sword is already difficult enough, but now this Daoist Qian Yuan has refined even the Two Forms Spirit Sword, and so efficiently... it shows that this Daoist Qian Yuan’s Spirit Root Qualification is absolutely comparable to Daozi Level.

"It’s a pity that the Lord Manor didn’t become a Daoist couple with Daoist Qian Yuan, otherwise why would Heavenly Sword Manor worry about not rising again."

Elder Bai felt some regret.

If not becoming a Daoist couple with the Lord Manor, then after this intervention of Daoist Qian Yuan, this favor is probably repaid.

"Alright, Daoist Qian Yuan helping us rebuild Heavenly Sword Manor is already the greatest help, so why force more."

Lin Qingping shook her head and said: "Moreover, how could someone like Daoist Qian Yuan be bound by a small power like our Heavenly Sword Manor, his stage is destined to be the whole Longevity Realm."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s clear out the Netherworld Palace people first."

Lin Qingping’s tone shifted sharply, a hint of cold severity in her words.

The Netherworld Palace destroyed her Heavenly Sword Manor, and they must pay for blood with blood.

This outpost no longer had any Longevity Secret Realm experts; the most powerful remaining were merely Supreme Saints, Great Saints, and Martial Saints... in the face of their three Longevity Secret Realm experts, they were just lambs to the slaughter.

Thus, the three of them led the people of Heavenly Sword Manor to hunt down the scattered fleeing martial artists of the Netherworld Palace.

.....

Netherworld Palace.

Inside a great hall.

An elder in a black robe, his hair and beard bristling with anger, was entertaining an esteemed guest from the Great Moon Empire.

If the Eternal Dynasty is a human power, and the Golden Demon Court is a demon power, then the composition of the Great Moon Empire is more complicated, encompassing human clan, demon race, barbarian clan, and some other groups... The rulers of the Great Moon Empire are called the Moon Clan.

The Moon Clan are very similar to humans, but their skin is black.

Moreover, the Moon Clan are natural night travelers, said to possess higher combat power under the moonlight, and their cultivation is even related to the bright moon in the sky.

Although their population proportion in the Great Moon Empire is low, they wield absolute dominion, with other groups as their vassals.

The guest that the Netherworld Hall Master was receiving from the Great Moon Empire was a pure Moon Clansman.

The perfectly black skin made it impossible to distinguish facial features with the naked eye.

"Lord Di Tu, the amount you require is too much; our Netherworld Palace might find it difficult to gather it all at once."

The Netherworld Hall Master said.

The several top forces of the Heavenly Spring Gobi are intricately linked with the Eternal Dynasty, Great Moon Empire, and even the Golden Demon Court.

The one most closely associated with the Netherworld Palace is undoubtedly the Great Moon Empire.

The founder of the Netherworld Palace was even a Moon Clansman who defected from the Great Moon Empire.

Over time, the Netherworld Palace drew closer to the Great Moon Empire.

"Didn’t your Netherworld Palace swallow up the Heavenly Sword Manor? The Red Gold Vein of Heavenly Sword Manor is all under your control."

The dark-skinned Moon Clansman snorted lightly, "You must understand that the reason your Netherworld Palace could become one of the top forces in the Heavenly Spring Gobi is entirely due to the backing of my Great Moon Empire."

"Lord Di Tu, the red gold is a resource in high demand... everyone is eyeing it; if I give it all to you..."

The Netherworld Hall Master said with a troubled expression.

He didn’t understand why this Moon Clansman suddenly had such a large appetite.

If he provided the Moon Clan with such a large amount of red gold, it would inevitably incur the displeasure of other forces.

"It won’t be long before chaos erupts in the Heavenly Spring Gobi."

The Moon Clansman Di Tu said indifferently.

The Netherworld Hall Master shuddered all over, a flash of doubt and surprise on his face.

If these words came from Lord Di Tu, it was certainly not said recklessly.

Lord Di Tu isn’t just a Moon Clansman; standing behind him is the Golden Moon Lord, one of the five lords of the Moon Clan, a terrifying being whose Return to Void has surpassed seventy steps.

"Lord Di Tu, are the three great forces going to war?"

The Netherworld Hall Master asked hastily.

"Heh heh.... Such important matters are beyond the knowledge of you and me."

The Moon Clansman Di Tu said indifferently.

But the Netherworld Hall Master grew even more doubtful.

Should the three great forces engage in warfare... it would mean great turmoil for the Heavenly Spring Gobi, where all forces would be thoroughly reshuffled.

Even though the Netherworld Palace was strong enough, it was only dominant in the Heavenly Spring Gobi; caught in the cracks between the three mighty forces of the Eternal Dynasty, the Great Moon Empire, and the Golden Demon Court, the slightest misstep could result in total annihilation.

"Lord Di Tu, I will do my utmost to gather the red gold..."

The Netherworld Hall Master took a deep breath and finally made the decision.

If the three great forces were indeed going to war, the Netherworld Palace would have to side with one to survive.

Trying to remain neutral would surely lead to a bad end.

At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Hall Master, something terrible has happened; Elder Yu and Elder Chu’s Life Plates have suddenly shattered."

"What?"

The Netherworld Hall Master was greatly shocked.

Elder Yu and Elder Chu were stationed at the Heavenly Sword Manor; their Life Plates shattering meant something major had occurred there.
