Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

North Qing Ming, Profound Pivot Sword Sect.

The atmosphere within the Profound Pivot Grand Hall was extremely oppressive.

In the resplendent golden hall, eighteen golden pillars with dragons coiled around them stood tall, their majestic dragon eyes inlaid with jewels, emitting a golden glow.

Numerous figures were seated within the hall.

Each of them wore solemn expressions, not uttering a word, all adorned in the Profound Pivot Sword Sect's robes.

The blue and gold robes were exceptionally dignified, their cut straight and sharp, like unsheathed blades with a hint of锋芒.

Nearly thirty cultivators were seated on either side of the hall below.

On the high platform, a middle-aged man with an extremely imposing aura sat upon the high chair.

The man possessed an extraordinary bearing, his face chiseled, sitting upright with his hands resting on his knees, his bronze skin the result of years of cultivation.

Despite being middle-aged, he showed no signs of the greasy indulgence in wine, women, and wealth.

Thick eyebrows like ink, deep eyes casting a gloomy gaze below.

His cheeks were slightly bulging, and a vein on his forehead pulsed rhythmically.

An oppressive atmosphere permeated the hall, causing the sect elders below to not even dare breathe loudly!

This man was none other than the Sect Master of the Profound Pivot Sword Sect, Lin Ze!

A peak Golden Immortal of the seventh level!

The man's voice was quite deep and magnetic.

However, his tone was filled with suppressed anger.

"Who can tell me... why my son has become like this?"

Lin Ze's voice was icy, a slight tremor betraying his efforts to suppress his rage.

The crowd below lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, clenching his fists, causing the surrounding space to distort with cracks!!!

Waves of pressure filled the void.

Lin Ze's voice sounded again.

"A total of five True Immortals were taken, yet all were killed, with not a single message sent back!"

"Who can tell me..."

"Within North Qing Ming, which power is capable of instantly killing five True Immortals and severely injuring Xian Qi?"

Silence still reigned below after the words fell.

Just as Lin Ze was about to erupt in anger, an old man below finally stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Sect Master, Xian Qi's trip was conducted in secret, with almost no clan forces aware."

Lin Ze directly interrupted the old man's words.

"Enough nonsense, get straight to the point, I want results!"

The old man's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he raised his sleeve to wipe it away.

"I suspect that the Clear Micro Pavilion and the Fallen Sun Pavilion are behind this!"

"After all, many disciples from these two forces were killed or injured during the previous battle for the spiritual vein... Is it possible..."

Before Lin Ze could speak, an elder below retorted.

"Are you senile?"

"Based on the Clear Micro Pavilion and the Fallen Sun Pavilion alone, what qualifications do they have to dare touch Xian Qi?"

"Have they gone mad?"

Another man retorted without any politeness.

The old man, angered, glared with wide eyes, but dared not retaliate after glancing at Lin Ze's gloomy face.

He then stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Ze.

"Sect Master, I believe that Xian Qi's whereabouts were absolutely confidential."

"Now there are only two possibilities."

"One is that there is a spy within the sect!"

Having said that, the man's gaze swept across everyone's faces in a pretentious manner.

Lin Ze frowned, he didn't want to create chaos within his own forces before the investigation was clear.

He raised his hand to stop the man from continuing to speculate.

"We'll discuss that later, tell me the second possibility."

The man quickly composed himself, cautiously speaking.

"The second possibility..."

"Is that the young master actively exposed his whereabouts!"

"As for why, I don't know... This is just speculation."

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion below.

Even Lin Ze nodded slightly, for him, he could only think of this possibility.

Moreover...

Lin Ze even suspected that the cultivation realm of the person who attacked Lin Xian Qi was definitely not high!

Otherwise, Lin Xian Qi would definitely have had the opportunity and time to call for help.

The noisy discussions below were extremely clamorous, everyone was guessing who could have injured Lin Xian Qi to such an extent.

It is said that after Lin Xian Qi returned, Lin Ze broke through his closed-door cultivation and sought out powerful alchemists to treat him.

He even opened the sect's treasure vault, taking many precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The loss of five True Immortal realm elders and offerings was an extremely serious loss.

More importantly, Lin Xian Qi had already damaged the foundation of his cultivation this time.

Wanting to cultivate and break through realms in the future would be as difficult as ascending to the sky.

It was equivalent to the person who took action directly severing Lin Xian Qi's path to longevity, the bridge to immortality!!

Suddenly!!

A figure instantly broke into the hall.

A disciple actually forced his way into the sect's main hall, the disciple knelt in the hall panting, not daring to raise his head.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Young Master Lin is awake!"

Lin Ze instantly stood up, taking a step, his figure traversing hundreds of feet and disappearing into the hall.

His voice, infused with immortal essence, echoed in everyone's ears.

"Investigate clearly what the reason is."

"I want to know in three hours!"

———————

In the distant Jade Splendor Land, deep within the Heavenly Fiend Cave, one of the forbidden areas.

The entrance of the Heavenly Fiend Cave is hundreds of feet in size, the pitch-black opening like a mouth ready to devour people.

Sinister winds howled at the entrance, tearing the space into pieces.

The pitch-black void storm raged outside the cave, and occasionally, one could hear eerie roars.

The roars were incomparably shrill, the location of the cave was sometimes near and sometimes far, but it could never escape the seal of the Heavenly Fiend Cave.

Legend has it that no one can come out of the Heavenly Fiend Cave.

At the same time, there are also rumors that there are many ruins of strong people inside the Heavenly Fiend Cave, with great opportunities and many legendary heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

But even though there are rumors that there are many treasures in the Heavenly Fiend Cave, almost no monks have entered it in the past ten thousand years.

Because almost all the monks who went in died.

Even if they didn't die, the people who came out were all crazy, foolish, and incomparable.

They would only mutter one sentence, 'Run!! Run fast!!'

However, it is this Jade Splendor forbidden area that makes people terrified.

Deep inside, there is a hidden domain.

The scenery in the domain is beautiful, like endless mountains like a fairyland.

However, in this domain, there is a jade-faced, bare-chested young man practicing spear skills on the top of the mountain, sweating profusely.

The blood-colored spear fiercely poked out, the space rippling, and the spear light blasted through a huge hole in the distant mountain.

Rumble!!!

Boom!!!

Strands of hair stuck to the young man's face with sweat.

The young man with taut muscles and a well-proportioned and sturdy body was covered in scars, standing with his spear.

The young man slowly looked up at the false domain sky, his eyes filled with trance and confusion.

"Big brother... second brother... where are you..."

"It's been three years."

Suddenly, a figure came through the air like a spirit bird, carrying a pink skirt.

The girl's eyes were agile, her face was full of bright smiles, her nose was tall, her teeth were pink lips.

"Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Chen, whose face was extremely handsome, was still in a state of emotion in the previous moment.

In the next moment, he put on his clothes in a mess and galloped through the air!!

"Why is this grandma here again!!"
