Chapter 1096: Chapter 1092: Searching

Chu Zhiyuan always thought Qinglian Sea was an ocean.

Perhaps there was a lotus beside this ocean.

Only upon arrival did he realize that the Qinglian Sea was actually a chain of mountains.

This mountain range, resembling a giant dragon, has a roaring great river running through it, with green lotuses floating in the river, hence the name Qinglian Sea.

They arrived at the eastern end of the mountain range and planned to enter, heading west to find the elite warriors of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Before stepping into the mountains, they came upon a battlefield.

At the riverbank at the foot of the mountain, on the muddy plain in front of a dense forest, the ground had been furrowed deeply.

Debris was scattered everywhere.

Trees were shattered, as if swept by a storm, creating a scene of devastation.

There were patches of dark purplish-red, still exuding a bloody scent.

Seeing this, Chu Zhiyuan could imagine the ferocity of the battle, with experts on both sides.

Qi Qingmei surveyed the ruins and said solemnly, ”It seems many strong demons of Qinglian Sea are on the move.”

Lu Xiaolu asked, ”Did the brothers of the Heavenly Sword Sect suffer a heavy loss?”

”Probably not,” Qi Qingmei replied, ”There are no traces of the Heavenly Sword being used.”

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, ”Indeed, there is no trace of the Heavenly Sword.”

He practiced the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture, and if there were any traces of the Heavenly Sword, he would naturally sense it.

But in this intense scene, there was no trace of the Heavenly Sword, indicating they hadn’t used it.

The Heavenly Sword is only used in critical moments, and not using it means they weren’t forced to that point.

Lu Xiaolu asked, ”Junior Brother Chu, can you sense the Heavenly Sword here?”

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, after a moment, he frowned, opened his eyes, thought for a moment, reached into his chest, and grasped the small sword given by Lu Wanshan.

After a moment, he slowly nodded, ”I sensed it.”

He operated the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture, the True Yuan surged, entering the Heavenly Sword while concentrating on feeling.

After a moment, a peculiar sensation emerged. When the True Yuan flowed and concentration was focused, this feeling emerged, disappearing when operations ceased.

He found it immensely intriguing.

”Let’s go then,” Qi Qingmei announced, ”Be cautious, from here on, we’ll be in greater danger!”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Senior Sister, shall we not wait for the other two sects’ experts?”

He didn’t want the Guanghan Palace experts to risk their lives, mainly hoping to gather more strength to have a chance to rescue the Heavenly Sword Sect’s experts.

The group of experts in the Heavenly Sword Sect was no less than the Guanghan Palace experts.

He feared that even if they went in, it might be to no avail.

It would be best to unite with the experts from the other two sects, offering stronger support and higher hope for reinforcement.

Qi Qingmei said, ”Can’t wait, it’s better to find them first.”

”Alright.” Chu Zhiyuan said no more.

He closed his eyes, extended his left hand, and made a gesture.

Lu Xiaolu said, ”Let’s move forward.”

The group crossed the great river and stepped into the mountains swiftly.

Fourteen figures swooped over the forest canopy, their feet barely touching the treetops below.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly said, ”There’s an ambush ten miles ahead.”

”Charge through,” Qi Qingmei commanded firmly.

From Chu Zhiyuan’s sleeve, ten beams of clear light shot out, diving into the forest below, disappearing from sight.

The women were accustomed to his Demon Suppressing Saber, knowing the flying knives would cooperate with their actions, executing surprise attacks.

A combination of frontal and surprise attacks, light and dark, worked excellently and powerfully.

Ten miles passed by in the blink of an eye.

Qi Qingmei’s Bright Moon Divine Sword activated again, a bright moon rising.

Chu Zhiyuan was deeply curious about this Bright Moon Divine Sword.

Its power was also strong, but unlike the Heavenly Sword, which could only be used a few times before exhausting its power.

Though it couldn’t release overwhelming force at once, it excelled in being strong and enduring, as if inexhaustible.

”Whoosh, whoosh!”

Grey shadows suddenly appeared in the forest, shooting straight towards Qi Qingmei and her group.

They were wolf-headed demons with human bodies.

Thirty-three of them emerged from the woods simultaneously, moving swiftly and in perfect coordination, encircling Qi Qingmei in an instant.

The rest also formed a siege, using numbers to overwhelm, aiming for a quick victory.

”Ah!”

”Aaaahhh—!”

Several cries of agony broke the forest’s tranquility, thundering through the air.

Golden flames appeared, and then one by one, the wolf demons perished, vanishing with the golden light.

Over thirty wolf demons were swiftly wiped out, none escaping.

”Keep going!” Qi Qingmei sheathed her sword.

The others continued, swords in hand, swiftly moving forward.

They regarded Chu Zhiyuan’s flying knives eliminating the wolf demons as naturally as drinking water.

Chu Zhiyuan continued pointing westward.

So the group proceeded westward, encountering more ambushes along the way.

The ambushing demons grew stronger, with ever-increasing cultivation.

Yet their pace didn’t falter; they weren’t stopped or lost any experts, thanks to Chu Zhiyuan’s flying knives.

Chu Zhiyuan kept his eyes closed, sensing the direction of the Heavenly Sword.

...

They advanced a hundred miles until they stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Chu Zhiyuan withdrew his hand, slowly opened his eyes, and sighed, ”We found them, they’re nearby.”

”Nearby? How close?” Lu Xiaolu asked.

Along the journey, she often stood beside Chu Zhiyuan, her White Silk ready around his waist to flee at any moment.

Thus, she remained the calmest, unlike Qi Qingmei and others who were more exhausted.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, ”The Heavenly Sword’s sensing tells me it’s within a mile, but...”

Even with Super Sense, he couldn’t detect their presence.

But the Heavenly Sword’s sensing shouldn’t be wrong.

Another Heavenly Sword must be nearby, yet following the sense leads nowhere.

Super Sense hadn’t detected anything; it was truly baffling.

He even started doubting his intuition.

Lu Xiaolu asked, ”Senior Sister, could it be concealed by a Secret Technique?”

Qi Qingmei slowly nodded.

Lu Xiaolu asked, ”How do we break it?”

Qi Qingmei pondered.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly took the small sword from his chest and activated it again.

The surging True Yuan flowed into the sword, its blade brightened, revealing a strange pattern.

Chu Zhiyuan concentrated on sensing.

After a moment, he pointed to the forward left, ”It should be there.”

There, however, was a mountainside.

Qi Qingmei drew her sword, and instantly, a bright moon rose.

It was already sunset, with evening mists rising.

This bright moon, flawless, shot towards the mountainside.

”Sshhh!”

Amid a light whistle, it seemed an invisible membrane was pierced.

The scene before them shifted.

They found themselves facing a valley.

Inside the valley, a group of men and women sat cross-legged, each with a serious expression, concentrating deeply.

Then, the scene flickered again, and all was gone, showing just a mountain peak.

Qi Qingmei frowned and was about to thrust again, but her sword strike produced no change.

No more light whistle, no anomalies.

Chu Zhiyuan concentrated with the Emperor’s Sword and sensed they were still in the same place.

Qi Qingmei retracted her sword, focusing intently on the mountainside.

Lu Xiaolu asked, ”Senior Sister, is it an illusion?”

Qi Qingmei shook her head, ”Inside is a small space, no other demons present, quite strange.”

Lu Xiaolu said, ”After three days, could it be they’ve taken out all the demons?”

Qi Qingmei replied, ”It’s said there are some top experts, not so easy, ... did he use the Emperor’s Sword?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”The Elder’s Emperor’s Sword likely hasn’t been used.”

Qi Qingmei quietly said, ”Then they haven’t truly risked everything, they should still be here.”

She was solemn, glancing left and right.

The other women were tense, ready to fight at any moment.
