Chapter 538 - The Greatest Crisis of the Orthodox Academy, She Has Come!

”With the Golden Light Array safeguarding his Dao heart, no external factors can affect Chusu's cultivation.”

Elder Liang continued, ”On the contrary, I want to use the array to suppress Su Li's sword intent, and then, after grinding it to pieces with the myriad mountains, I will send it to Chusu to comprehend!”

Upon hearing this, the two others elders relaxed, thinking, if we really can smash Su Li's sword intent and send it off to Chusu, then perhaps Chusu can be presented to the world many years in advance of what the Sect Master calculated before his death. At that time, the Longevity Sect will truly begin to flourish once more!

Just as these three were caught up in these rapturous dreams of the future, a sudden change occurred.

The letter on the table began to fiercely judder.

With a rip, the letter tore apart and transformed into countless paper butterflies that scattered in every direction.

How could Su Li's letter require someone to open it to be seen? How could the sword intent he left behind be like some magical artifact, requiring some sort of stimulation?

He wanted the people of the Longevity Sect to see this letter, to see this sword, so regardless of whether or not someone opened it, he would definitely have the other side see it!

Tyrannical and swift, this sword intent soared upward and then slashed down!

The cave echoed with the shrill cries of a sword, so much so that those similarly shrill screams of misery were snuffed into silence.

The fierce and swift sword intent had severed all it had encountered.

The swords of those three elders of profound cultivation.

The cave of the Longevity Sect which had been unbroken for ten thousand years.

The pliant ivy in the depths of the cave.

The transparent water dripping off the ivy.

The invisible wind shaped by the flowing of the air.

In a flash, all this was sliced to shreds by the sword intent.

A mist of blood floated in the air. It was extremely grisly but also possessed a soul-stirring beauty.

Three swords had been sliced into ten-odd pieces.

Elder Liang's body had been covered with several dozen sword slashes and lay collapsed amongst the rubble. As he saw the sword intent rush out of the cave, his wan face revealed limitless surprise and remorse. Already on the verge of death, he gathered up the rest of his strength and sharply yelled, ”Quickly shut the array!”

When those two other elders heard his cry and realized the problem, their eyes were filled with despair, yet they were powerless to stop the sword intent from flying into the sky. Their arms had been severed by that sword intent and they were covered in blood, powerless to stand.

The sword intent became a magnificent streak of light. It swiftly flew down from the mountain, crossed over the gate of the Longevity Sect and shot straight into a mountain stream enveloped in clouds and mist.

An enormous and terrifying sound boomed through the mountains. A dome of clear light covered the ten-odd mountain peaks within a radius of several hundred li.

This was the Sect-Protecting Array of the Longevity Sect.

Soon after, countless tooth-aching sounds of metal on metal rang out from the mountain stream. Countless golden rays of light shot out and the sea of clouds roiled in unease.

Deep within the stream came a voice, immature yet full of hatred.

This voice was like that of a man, but also like that of a bird, or even some sort of repetition from a machine.

”Chusu! Chusu!”

The whistle of the sword suddenly grew sharper!

This voice gradually faded away, ceasing to be heard.

……

……

It was already late at night, but many people were still not asleep.

For some, it was because they were in love with someone. For some, it was because they hated someone. For some, it was because they longed for someone. But there were some people that were longing for good food.

Before going to sleep, Xuanyuan Po had eaten a Tangjing roast goose for a midnight snack, but after lying down on the bed, it didn't take long before he felt hungry. How could one sleep when hungry?

He walked down to the kitchen by the lake, intending to take the crab paste that he had pickled a few days ago and eat it.
