Sword Aura to the Heavens
Chapter 336 - 331 Arrival
CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 331 ARRIVAL
At Xidi Island, many debates emerged within the island city, even doubting Xidi Palace.
The court led its army to exterminate demons, why doesn’t Xidi Palace cooperate?
Could it be that Xidi Palace is driven by selfish interests, allowing demons to rampage unhindered?
Moreover, the news seems to have someone secretly fanning the flames, causing these voices to spread continuously, and more people doubt Master Liu Zonglin’s decision, even many went outside Xidi Palace to petition, begging Xidi Palace to agree with the court to eliminate demons together.
At this time, outside Xidi Palace, the vast crowd grew larger.
"Everyone, Master Liu was injured while slaying demons and is currently considering a good strategy to slay demons, please return and do not be swayed." A cultivator from Xidi Palace stood in the void and spoke loudly to the crowd.
"Senior, last time the demon army attacked, Xidi Island was already heavily wounded with heavy casualties, thankfully demons were repelled eventually, but next time we might not be so lucky, by then, only those above Solidifying Pill cultivation realm will have the chance to escape, we will surely perish."
"That’s right, during the last demon chaos, my brother was killed by demons, plea to the Palace Master to agree with the court to fight demons together."
People spoke successively, emotions ran high, causing those from Xidi Palace to be somewhat helpless, some frowned and showed displeasure, are these people here to coerce the palace?
Even the Palace Master was injured in the last battle, they Xidi Palace had paid a great cost, many perished at the West Sea.
"Should we drive them away?" Someone said.
"Forget it," An elder waved his hand and said, in the face of life and death, who can see it lightly, who is not selfish.
At this time, a few figures soared through the air, they were cultivators from the court’s warship, Yazhou Prefect Wenren Zhong was among them, beside him stood Ye Chaosong.
Xidi Palace cultivators watched the arrivals, not knowing what their intention was.
At this time, Li Fan heard a voice from afar: "If you don’t come, I’ll have to send someone to bring you."
This voice seemed to disregard space distance, all cultivators inside and outside Xidi Palace could hear, causing everyone to be taken aback, who was Qi Immortal King asking to meet?
In Xidi Palace, was there someone Qi Immortal King wanted?
Moments after his voice fell, they saw Wenren Zhong and Ye Chaosong heading towards Xidi Palace, yet at this point, in the distance, Liu Zonglin stood in the sky above Xidi Palace’s White Jade Palace, and said: "This is the West Sea Xidi Palace, if you want to take someone from my Xidi Palace, you better ask my opinion first."
"This person is a court’s designated criminal, hope the Palace Master doesn’t obstruct." Wenren Zhong said loudly.
"This person slew demons at the West Sea, killed countless demons, and saved many cultivators, now he’s in my Xidi Palace, he cannot be harmed." Liu Zonglin said.
"Master Liu, the one I want, Xidi Palace cannot stop." Ye Ke’s voice came from afar, Liu Zonglin stood at the peak of Xidi Palace, his brow furrowed.
If Ye Ke wants to take someone by force, he indeed cannot stop it.
At this moment, his gaze suddenly shifted, looking towards a direction, seeing Li Fan controlling his sword, heading outside.
Liu Zonglin slightly shook his head at Li Fan, said: "Though I may not be able to stop, I will do my utmost."
"Thank you, Senior." Li Fan slightly bowed to Liu Zonglin’s direction, continued controlling his sword and came outside Xidi Palace, facing Ye Chaosong and Wenren Zhong and others.
"Demon extermination is originally Da Li Court’s duty, why does one have to submit to the court to slay demons?" Li Fan asked loudly.
Wenren Zhong and others frowned, did not respond.
"Da Li Court, demon extermination is false, wanting to rule the West Sea is the real purpose, right?" Li Fan continued: "However, the demon chaos in the West Sea doesn’t need court intervention anymore, I have invited someone, and they are about to arrive."
"You?"
From afar, Ye Ke’s voice came: "Those old fellows from Li Mountain, who else can quell the demon chaos?"
"Li Mountain!"
The crowd’s hearts shook, so this exceptionally talented sword cultivator was actually a disciple of Li Mountain.
The cultivators inside Xidi Palace finally understood why Li Fan was so outstanding, even West Flame Island sword cultivators cannot compare, he actually came from Li Mountain.
"Will Li Mountain have a Great Sword Cultivator come to slay demons?" The crowd gathered outside Xidi Palace felt hope.
"Li Mountain won’t send anyone, but someone will come to settle the West Sea demon chaos." Li Fan responded.
"Li Mountain sends no one, who can quell the demons of the West Sea?" Ye Ke mocked and said: "Come meet me."
His tone carried an undeniable force.
Li Fan’s gaze looked far away, sword aura surged beneath his feet, controlling the sword forward.
A moment later, he arrived before a courtyard on the island city’s street, court’s many cultivators gathered here, Ye Ke was drinking wine in the courtyard.
Li Fan descended, walked forward, looking towards Ye Ke.
"Quite brave." Ye Ke lifted his head to gaze at Li Fan, is this the youngster she was watching? The young sword cultivator who once defeated Jiang Taie on Li Mountain peak.
"You want me to come, won’t just be to praise me, right?" Li Fan asked.
"Fell into the hands of the court, how can you be so calm?" Ye Ke lifted his head to curiously ask Li Fan.
"Because I know I won’t have any mishap." Li Fan replied.
"Oh?" Ye Ke said: "Is it due to the one who is coming?"
"Yes." Li Fan replied.
"Even if Li Mountain sends a Great Sword Cultivator, it’s impossible to take you from my hands." Ye Ke’s voice was extremely confident: "Today Li Mountain is not the Li Mountain of years past, not sure what you all persist for, is it that elusive already lost glory?"
"Li Mountain never cared about those, as for what we persist in, the affairs happening at the West Sea, isn’t it clear by now, this world ultimately needs a true ’sword’."
"There is never only one sword in this world, precisely because there are too many swords, it leads to endless strife, truly this should end."
He lifted his head to look at Li Fan: "Perhaps, you can try another path."
"That’s not my path." Li Fan said: "I came only to ask about my senior sister, is she well?"
Ye Ke looked at him, smiled: "She’s doing well, she told me not to harm you."
"If so, then I’m reassured." Li Fan turned and walked away.
"Though I promised not to harm you, I didn’t promise to let you leave." Ye Ke put down the wine cup, tendrils of pressure fell upon Li Fan.
But Li Fan’s body was surged with Sword Intent, controlling his sword, headed towards Xidi Palace.
"Boom..."
Just as Li Fan was controlling his sword, his Divine Soul trembled for a moment, the extreme oppressive feeling made everything seem unreal, his body stiffened in mid-air, slowly moving forward.
"Since you promised not to harm me, then you cannot take me." Li Fan’s Sword Intent grew stronger, wanting to break free from that binding force, continued moving forward.
"Is that so?" Ye Ke laughed loudly: "There’s hardly anyone in this world that Ye Ke cannot take away."
"Qi Immortal King bullying a junior, isn’t that beneath your dignity." From Xidi Palace’s direction, a figure stood high in the sky, Liu Zonglin’s pressure surged towards this side, two terrifying auras clashed across the air.
"Master Liu, you better seriously consider agreeing to my matter, this affair, you cannot manage." Ye Ke spoke indifferently.
"I would advise the Prince, the West Sea affairs, you cannot manage." At this point, trapped in mid-air, Li Fan spoke loudly: "The person I invited has arrived, the demon chaos in the West Sea will be settled, I advise you to leave early."
"Such boldness." Ye Ke snorted coldly: "Don’t think I promised your senior sister, I won’t move you."
"If you dare, you might stay forever at this West Sea." Li Fan calmly replied, Ye Ke raised an eyebrow, looked somewhat displeased.
"Is that so?" Ye Ke coldly said, a stronger pressure fell upon Li Fan: "Then I want to see who gives you such confidence."
As his words fell, it seemed a sword light appeared from beyond the sky, Ye Ke’s pupils shrank and looked towards it, then saw next to Li Fan suddenly an extra figure.
This figure calmly stood there, as if he was always there, no aura emitting, yet at the moment Ye Ke saw him, her heart leaped, standing up.
"Who?" In the island city, countless gazes fell on that figure, this person had no strong aura, yet standing casually gave a sense of commanding presence, as if in this universe, only he existed.
Who is this person?
Ye Ke stepped forward towards that figure, a vast intent swept out, yet the figure calmly stood there, Ye Ke felt an invisible barrier within the world.
In Da Li nation, not many can reach this level.
"Ready to draw your sword?" The newcomer asked.
"No need." Li Fan walked forward, he had only three chances to draw the sword.
Xuanyuan Sword promised him three swords, so he had only three swords.
