Chapter 1092: Nirvana Phoenix (1/2)

Baffled alarm rippled through the Nirvana disciples, they didn’t understand why the treasured sword was leaving them either. Zhou Wumie was already at the end of his tether, they couldn’t allow anything to happen to him.

“Follow him. We need to help!” The disciples stirred to action and quickly followed their palace’s pride and glory.

The remaining ten thousand looked at each other hesitantly. Though Zhou Wumie had remained on his feet only through sheer force of will, the rest of them had been too petrified by the brutal carnage that’d taken place to do anything. With the departure of the Nirvana contingent, that left room for other thoughts to creep into their minds.

“Let’s go take a look as well—Zhou Wumie is heavily injured and the sword just mysteriously left him. We might still have a chance!” Some quickly followed the Nirvana disciples.

The remaining cultivators were also curious as to what was happening, and reason had returned to everyone’s minds. A strange thought blossomed in their minds—if the Inception contingent had left without a scratch, did everything that’d subsequently taken place have to do with them?

……

Lu Yun sat cross-legged in a dip at the foot of the mountain, deep in meditation and fingers frozen in a strange hand seal. Rays of brilliant splendor shone from his body and continuously called out to the sword on the other side of the void.

He’d refined the sword, spending a full hundred thousand years to do so. When he’d laid hands on the treasure, he’d immediately shifted into hell and used its influence over time to speed things up.

Though Lu Yun wasn’t someone whose greed knew no bounds, he also wasn’t the sort to just give up a treasure that’d come into his hands. Surrendering the sword had only been an act to get his side out of danger.

After the others had mostly killed each other off, he summoned the sword back. He was a sword immortal, after all, but he didn’t have a proper sword to his name. He’d returned the Sugato Sword to the Green Firmament, gifted Quietus to Tianqi, and left Violetgrave standing guard at the World Gates…

This sword was precisely what he needed at this time.

“Here it comes!”

A piercing howl broke through the air before sword light descended from the sky like a snowy chain, landing in Lu Yun’s hands.

“You!” Zhou Wumie was hot on its heels and his eyes almost spat fire when he saw the sword in Lu Yun’s hands.

“Form up!” Ying Luo and the others didn’t hesitate to draw close to Lu Yun and fall into the Thousand Obliteration Formation of the Six Royals. Zhou Wumie was the greatest mortal realm cultivator of Nirvana Palace. Lu Yun would never be able to withstand him by himself.

The formation snapped into existence and sent Zhou Wumie flying with a surge of power.

“Wei Yuan!” The genius saw Wei Yuan standing in the center of the formation. “Today, I’ll act on behalf of the sacred palace and cleanse its halls of traitors!”

He hung suspended in midair, two crimson balls of light appearing in his hands. This was the power to be gained from consuming his blood essence. Harrowing power of nirvana coalesced in the air while an enormous shadow grew behind Zhou Wumie.

Wei Yuan turned pale and wavered in his position. He was born and raised in Nirvana Palace. If his home deemed him a traitor, then his entire life was ruined.
