CHAPTER 258: 256. THE FURIOUS HUNDRED SECTS ALLIANCE (2/4)

Early the next morning.

Cangwu City gradually awakened, transitioning from silence to bustling noise, as Yang Lele led the way down the mountain to purchase swords.

Those who had swords naturally continued their cultivation in the dormitory area.

Those without swords were eager to buy quickly and return promptly.

Seven or eight people traversed the busy streets like a gust of wind. Huan Shan directly suggested going to the City Lord’s Mansion to get swords, as there was never a shortage of weapons there. The City Lord’s Mansion had as many swords for the Body Refining Realm as needed.

However, Zhao Yi always lagged behind the group.

In the end, Lin Kewu couldn’t bear it anymore and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yi forward, "Brother Zhao, keep up, don’t worry. Since your aunt is already in Cangwu City and unharmed, finding her is only a matter of time."

Following that, Yang Xi, not minding modesty as a girl, also came over to pull Zhao Yi forward.

"Hurry up! The big competition is tomorrow."

Only then did Zhao Yi quicken his pace.

Upon reaching the City Lord’s Mansion, Huan Shan immediately led everyone to the armory. The cultivator guarding the armory, seeing Huan Shan’s arrival, promptly sent someone to notify the City Lord.

He quickly approached and asked, "Young City Lord, is there anything your subordinate can assist you with?"

"Where is my father?"

"The City Lord is currently training soldiers, I’ve already sent someone to inform him."

"I see, then open the armory, I need to select some weapons."

"This..."

The person hesitated, not daring to answer.

Opening it would violate military orders.

Not opening it would defy the Young City Lord’s command.

Just then, Huan Cheng’s voice was heard, "Open it!"

The person turned around, relieved, quickly stepped forward, took out a key, and opened the lock as large as a human head, then slowly pushed open the iron door.

Inside, a dazzling array of weapons came into view.

Everyone was delighted.

Huan Shan quickly asked, "Dad, we need a batch of swords, can we take them?"

Everyone turned and glanced at Huan Cheng, who nodded with a smile, "You are all my son’s senior and junior brothers, like family, take whatever you need."

"Thank you, City Lord!"

After expressing their gratitude, they quickly entered the armory.

The cultivator guarding the armory watched them enter, his perception instinctively releasing, his face filled with astonishment.

Thinking of themselves, in their thirties or forties, only at the tenth or eleventh layer of Body Refinement, remarkable at the thirteenth.

But these senior and junior brothers of the Young City Lord were even younger than his own children but had already caught up to his own cultivation.

"The disciples of the Immortal Sect are truly all geniuses."

Murong Xi observed this scene and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Huan Cheng stood by, hearing Murong Xi’s exclamation, smiled, and said, "It’s unknown how many times more prosperous than when my brother was here."

Previously, the most talented from the Immortal Sect.

At 35, reached the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer.

And now in the Immortal Sect, they seemed to reach the thirteenth layer in their early twenties.

These were also his son’s senior and junior brothers.

Just thinking about it made him proud.

While Huan Cheng was secretly pleased, Yang Lele, knowing Zhao Yi had no heart for selecting weapons, directly suggested Zhao Yi wait outside while he went in to help choose.

During the wait, Huan Shan asked Huan Cheng, "Dad, has the person been found?"

Huan Cheng understood what his son was referring to and shook his head, saying, "Cangwu City isn’t large, but finding one or two people isn’t a matter of a day or two. Now I’m just worried she’s already left Cangwu City, otherwise if she’s still in the city, I can find her. By the way, why is that young man looking for a woman?"

Huan Shan replied, "That is my senior brother’s only relative."

Following Huan Shan’s instinctive gaze, Huan Cheng understood.

He walked over, patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, rest assured, I will find her for you."

Zhao Yi nodded, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you, City Lord."

Huan Cheng smiled, indicating it was a small matter.

He then turned back and asked, "Why do you suddenly need so many swords?"

Huan Shan replied, "Oh, our sect is holding a big competition tomorrow, and we need swords."

"Big competition!"

Huan Cheng’s interest was piqued upon hearing this.

"Can I watch?"

"I’m not sure, you have to ask the Sect Leader yourself."

With that, Huan Shan stepped into the armory.

Huan Cheng secretly noted the upcoming competition.

...

Fengyuan City.

The disturbances in the Secret Realm had not yet subsided, many still searching within for the treasures left behind, but news came from the Mitian Sect.

Murong Qing held a piece of paper in his hand, his expression not good, and immediately headed towards the Extreme Realm Mountain.

Straightaway he met Han Feiyue.

"Brother Murong, what’s the matter?"

"Brother Han, it seems your Essence Blood Book will have to include the pain of losing a child."

Saying this, Murong Qing solemnly handed the paper to the maid beside him, who immediately presented it to Han Feiyue.

The moment the paper was handed over, a bad premonition arose in Han Feiyue’s heart.

Upon unfolding the paper, Han Feiyue’s expression changed.

"The people sent by the Mitian Sect have all gone missing?"

"Yes, most likely they’re dead. It seems the people behind the Immortal Sect are not simple. Hurry and finish the Essence Blood Book, I’ll send it to the higher-ups immediately."

"Alas!"

Han Feiyue sighed.

Inwardly thinking: Son, forgive your father for being incompetent, unable to personally avenge you!

Sweeping his hand to dismiss the maid, Han Feiyue immediately went to the desk, opened his Meridian Gate, and directly made a cut on his chest.

However, the blood didn’t gush out but slowly flowed.

One drop!

Two drops!

The blood even shimmered with fluorescence.

Han Feiyue used a cup to catch it, a brush to dip into it, ignoring the wound on his chest, and elegantly wrote an Essence Blood Book!

Filled with accusations against the Immortal Sect!

Murong Qing took it and, along with his own Essence Blood Book, sent it away with a message hawk.

...

Bright Mirror Lake.

Although the Hundred Sects Alliance of Bright Mirror Lake was also a branch, it was above East Lake.

When the message hawk landed on a palace resembling a waterbound palace, someone retrieved it.

The Hundred Sects Alliance had a rule: only when a lower branch had a major issue could they send a message hawk, so upon receiving it, the elder immediately sent it to the Main Hall.

As the two Essence Blood Books were opened and came into Deputy Chief Hua Long’s sight, his expression grew increasingly angry!

"Not in the Hundred Sects Alliance’s registry, yet they dare to be so audacious! Killing children and harming our ancestral guardian, I want to see who stands behind this Immortal Sect!"

Bam!

Hua Long slammed the table, startling everyone nearby.

They all glanced over, guessing what could have enraged Lord Hua Long, wondering if a lower branch had been wiped out?

Hua Long immediately ordered angrily, "Transmit my command, send out the message hawk, instruct the East Lake Hundred Sects Alliance to blockade the Immortal Sect’s area, prohibiting any forces from interacting with them, and wait for our people to arrive."

"Yes!"

Those nearby quickly nodded.

In less than half an hour, the message hawk flew back.

This time, it carried a piece of golden paper.

With the highest command from the Hundred Sects Alliance of Bright Mirror Lake!
