As the number of wounds on Jian Xiaotian's body was rising, a sword suddenly streaked through the sky. Circling around once, it killed off several of the cultivators besieging Jian Xiaotian.

“Greater Second Astrobear Sword! It is someone from my sect.” A look of surprise and joy flashed across Jian Xiaotian's face.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

The sword kept circling around. It was as though an invisible fellow was controlling the sword. The sword itself was a top-grade Prized artefact and every circle it made would kill off a cultivator. When the attacker finally appeared, all of the cultivators besieging Jian Xiaotian had fallen.

A tall cultivator appeared before Jian Xiaotian. With a beckoning hand, the sword transformed into a beam of sword light, which flew into his body.

“Senior Brother Liu!” Jian Xiaotian exclaimed.

“So, it's Junior Brother Xiaotian. Didn't you go to the Northern Plains? Why are you here? Eh? Your present cultivation base is at level 6 of the Sky Human stage? How is this possible?”

This newcomer's name was Liu Wenlong, a disciple from Heavenly Sword Faction. In the beginning, he was feeling puzzled as to why Jian Xiaotian would appear here. However, when he noticed Jian Xiaotian's cultivation base, he became astounded. Back when Jian Xiaotian had left to wander about, he was only at level 1 of the Sky Human stage. After just a few years, he had managed to reach level 6 of the Sky Human stage. Even for the members of Heavenly Sword Faction, this rate of cultivation was something that only a handful of them could accomplish.

Did he take some valuable medicinal pills? Liu Wenlong guessed.

“Junior Brother Xiaotian. You already possess this level of cultivation. How did you end up getting besieged by these bandits? Or were you wounded before this? Humph! These bandits are becoming more unruly. They do not know how to repent. It hadn't even been too long since we killed a considerable number of the bandits here. I didn't think that they would still be secretly besieging disciples from our Heavenly Sword Faction. When I return to our sect, I will summon some of our fellow members and start another ma.s.sacre!” Liu Wenlong said, killing intent soaring out from his body.

“I returned from the Northern Plains not too long ago. Also, I have only just overcome my Lightning Tribulation. Unfortunately, they besieged me before I could recover,” Jian Xiaotian said with a wry smile.

“You were too careless. You actually dare undergo Lightning Tribulation without anyone protecting you? Don't you know how chaotic this Twospan Mountain Range is? Not to mention, we are currently in troubled times.” Liu Wenlong berated Jian Xiaotian.

“Troubled times? What happened?” Jian Xiaotian was surprised to hear that.

“Our sect is now at war with Heartless Heaven Sect,” Liu Wenlong said.

“Heartless Heaven Sect! How big is this war?” There was no change in Jian Xiaotian's expression. Heavenly Sword Faction and Heartless Heaven Sect were never on good terms with each other and they would often get into fights. There would often be a small war between them every five years and a large war every ten years. When Jian Xiaotian had left the sect to roam the Northern Plains, the Heavenly Sword Faction had only just won a war against Heartless Heaven Sect. Having lost many of his fellow sect brothers and sisters in the battlefield, Jian Xiaotian saw just how weak he was. Thus, he decided to set out from the sect, wanting to grow stronger.

“Even bigger than the last one. This time, Warlord Pavilion decided to intervene. Our sect suffered from heavy casualties right from the start.”

“What? Warlord Pavilion is partic.i.p.ating in the war as well? Two sects joining forces, this is simply a bullying act!” Jian Xiaotian cried out in shock.

“So what? Even if ten sects were to come together against us, our sect will not show fear!”

“That's right. This time, I must kill more!”

“Don't worry. The Qin Family and the w.a.n.g Family have already made plans to secretly send reinforcements. Has our Heavenly Sword Faction ever have to suffer from a loss?”

“Naturally. By the way, why did you come to Twospan Mountain Range?” Jian Xiaotian asked.

“For a very important matter. You will find out soon enough. Now, let's meet up with the others,” Liu Wenlong said.

“Others from our sect have come as well? How many?” Jian Xiaotian was surprised. He had a.s.sumed that Liu Wenlong had come to this Twospan Mountain Range for an adventure. However, after hearing what Liu Wenlong said, he knew that was not the case.

“A total of 20. Enough, you'll know about it soon.” It would appear that Liu Wenlong did not want to go further into the details.

While Jian Xiaotian was moving together with Liu Wenlong, Chen Feng had already killed his way into one of Blackwind Stronghold's outposts. Naturally, Chen Feng was not interested in some minor outposts. His targets were the three major outposts of Blackwind Stronghold.

It's here. The bandits coming after me must be coming from this valley. Chen Feng looked at the valley before him. Then, his palm swung forward and a gigantic palm silhouette charged forward. It became like a mountain rampaging its way forward and everywhere it went, the magic arrays set up around the valley would be broken. Some of the sentries posted outside coughed out blood as they were sent flying.

“Who is raising a ruckus in our Blackwind Stronghold?!”

“Hurry! There's an enemy attack!”

“Who dares come here to die?”

“Did the cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction come again? What did I say? You guys shouldn't have provoked them. Now look! They are coming after us now!”

“Enough, stop panicking! Go check out what is happening.” A beefy man with a full beard walked out.

“There is only one person. What is going on here?”

All of them could see a young cultivator walking into the valley. Everywhere he went, streams of astral energy would surge around and one bandit after another would spray out blood as their bodies were sent flying.

Chen Feng was not planning on killing them this time. Even so, he did not go easy on the bandits. Thus, the bandits wounded by his attacks would have to spend quite some time for their recovery.
