”Why are you here too? ”Could it be …?” With a thought, a terrifying thought appeared in Lei Ao's mind.
”Floating Flower Palace has been razed to the ground. I can't find a single person from my sect.”
Just like the blade faction, the Fluttering Flower Palace was destroyed, and Huang Xin came to Lin Yuan City to inquire about the situation.
Guo Feng said, ”It's not as serious as you think. The remnants of Floating Flower Palace and Saber Sect are all in Lin Yuan City.”
”You are …?” Huang Xin felt that Guo Feng looked a little familiar, but she couldn't recall what he looked like at the moment.
”He is Guo Feng, the disciple of Elder Yang Feng from the Rogue Alliance. Let's enter the city first.”
After Lei Ao said this, he flew into the city first. Immediately, dozens of human figures rose up within the city to intercept him.
”Who are you? What are you doing in Lin Yuan City? ”
The people blocking him were all unfamiliar faces. When their eyes landed on Guo Feng who was in Lei Ao's hands, their expressions changed as they shouted: ”You are quite bold, quickly let them go if you know what's good for you.”
”Don't misunderstand, he is the blade faction's Lei Ao.”
Guo Feng hurriedly explained. His already seriously injured body was now coughing out a few more mouthfuls of blood due to the anxiety.
”Lei Ao? Where is Lei Ao? ”
A shadow quickly shot out from the City Lord's Mansion and arrived in front of Lei Ao in the blink of an eye. He carefully sized him up and said with a trembling voice, ”It's you, it's really you. You've returned.”
”You are... Elder Bai?! ”
Lei Ao was slightly stunned. The person in front of him was indeed the Elder Bai who brought him to Lin Yuan City to participate in the Hidden Dragon Battle. However, compared to five years ago, the current Elder Bai seemed to be in dire straits.
His face was full of wrinkles, his complexion was pale, and his eyes lacked the spirit that a cultivator should have. Moreover, the sleeve of his right arm was empty, and had actually been chopped off by someone's shoulder.
If a practitioner of the saber were to break the hand that held the saber, it would be no less than crippling all martial arts.
Anger rose from the bottom of Lei Ao's heart once again, and he asked solemnly: ”Who did it? Where's my master? ”
”Senior Skyblade …” Elder Bai's mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but no words came out. After a long while, he sighed, ”You just came back. Go see the grand master first.”
Good. Lei Ao nodded and said goodbye to Huang Xin, then followed the White Elder to the blade faction temporary encampment.
The blade faction leader, the blade emperor who was previously in high spirits, was currently hiding on the bed like a sick person with a palm sized hole running down his back. If it wasn't for the fact that his cultivation was high, any other person would have died.
Seeing Lei Ao, the Saber Emperor's eyes lit up. He struggled to sit up, but was stopped by the few elders who took care of him.
”Lei Ao …” ”You're finally back, ahem …”
In his excitement, the Saber Emperor's wounds ruptured, and fresh blood flowed out from them.
Lei Ao quickly rushed forward and pressed his hand on the Blade Emperor's Gate of Life, transferring the true qi to him and feeding him the pill.
This was a godly pill that he wouldn't give up. Although it wasn't as miraculous as the Nine Revolving Heart Pill, it had good healing effects.
The strong true qi caused the blade faction to feel a wave of comfort. They were secretly shocked by Lei Ao's strength, and slightly sighed: ”This sect is incompetent, and can't even protect the sect. I'm so ashamed.”
Moments later, Lei Ao retracted his hand and asked, ”Sovereign, when I came here, I met Guo Feng. I heard from him that this was done by the Tyrant Sword Pavilion?”
”Tyrant Sword Pavilion? ”They don't have that kind of ability. At the very most, they are nothing more than dogs.”
Saber Emperor's face was filled with disdain as he slowly explained the cause of the matter.
Originally, the blade faction's extermination was not something that happened within a short period of time. As early as five years ago, Lei Ao had only just entered the Wilderness for less than a month, but the great calamity had already arrived in the cultivation world.
The spirit of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and the various powers were all focused on this great opportunity. They all thought that it was a powerful force from outside the sect, but they had neglected the hidden threat of the cultivation world.
Moreover, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets' calculations were wrong. This was not a calamity that would come from beyond the heavens, nor did it come from the world of cultivation.
