Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie felt uneasy, a feeling that made him very uncomfortable, as if a stone was pressing on his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

While rushing back to the capital, he took out the communication jade token to contact Su Lan of Juba斋, asking if Su Xiaoxiao had already returned to the capital.

Su Lan replied quickly, saying that the Holy Maiden had not returned.

"Has she contacted you recently?"

Jun Wuxie's heart sank. After such a long time, at the speed of two eighth-order Gale Horses, they should have arrived in the capital long ago!

It seemed that something had really happened to them.

"No, Young Master, has something happened?"

Su Lan's anxious voice came from the communication jade token.

"Try to contact your Holy Maiden now and see if you can get a response from her!"

His speed increased again by several points, with sonic booms like thunder rumbling all the way, stirring up terrifying air waves, traversing mountains and plains, and crossing deep ravines and rivers!

While hurrying on his way, he anxiously waited for Su Lan's reply.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Lan's voice finally came from the communication jade token.

"Young Master, I have contacted the Holy Maiden. She said that she will be able to return to the capital today. They accidentally entered a field of heaven and earth on the way and were trapped for more than ten days, so they were delayed. She told you not to worry."

"Okay, I understand!"

Jun Wuxie breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Yue Yao and the others were fine!

His heart had just relaxed, but then it tensed up again.

Yue Yao and the others were fine, so where did the bad premonition in his heart come from?

"Could it be the sect?"

Logically speaking, nothing should have happened to the sect. Within the Great Zhou territory, with Uncle Bird and Old Wine's strength, few could do anything to them.

Besides, the sect also had the Ancestral Master guarding it, who was a powerhouse no weaker than the early stage of the Sect King Realm!

At noon, the capital was in sight.

That familiar city appeared at the end of the line of sight, towering on the sun-drenched earth.

Jun Wuxie did not enter the city, heading straight for the sect.

Zongwang Mountain was still deserted, with few visitors.

The weeds on the mountain were more lush than before, and even the road up the mountain was covered by weeds.

He was a little speechless.

When he was in the sect, he would have time to clean it up. Looking at it now, let alone cleaning, it was probably several months since anyone had walked this road.

"What a bunch of lazybones..."

He walked up the mountain road, his footsteps falling, his blood energy surging, and the weeds on the road turned into dust, clearing a clean and wide path.

He arrived in front of the courtyard on the mountainside.

He saw that the courtyard was overgrown with grass, and even more outrageous, the stone steps in front of the house were covered with moss, as if it had been abandoned for a long time and no one lived there.

He turned around in the sect and did not see any traces of fighting, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed that nothing had happened to the sect.

Walking into the sect's main hall, it was empty. The old bamboo rocking chair was covered with dust, obviously no one had been lying on it for a long time.

"Old Wine, Uncle Bird, Xu Daoling, Kongxu, they should all be cultivating. The sect is really too deserted. After this duel, I should revitalize the sect, recruit some disciples, and add some vitality."

He left the dilapidated main hall, preparing to go to the back mountain, which was the place where the old and young of the sect cultivated.

As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, his pupils shrank slightly.

His gaze fell on the edge of the grass, where there was a sword gleaming with cold light.

"Why would a spirit sword be left here?"

He felt deeply puzzled. Although the spirit sword did not seem to be of a high star rating, it should only be a one-star spirit weapon, but it was a bit strange to be left here.

He walked forward, just about to pick up the spirit sword, when he saw a few lines of small characters engraved on the sword body, his heart sank, he grabbed the spirit sword, and rushed to the back mountain like lightning.

"Uncle Bird!"

His voice was like a dragon's roar, shaking the entire Zongwang Mountain.

But there was no response.

"Uncle Bird, are you there?"

He shouted again.

At this moment, a figure soared into the sky from the deep pool under the mountain stream waterfall.

"Senior Brother, you're back?"

Kongxu, with his upper body naked, rushed up and gave him a bear hug, saying, "Senior Brother, why are you screaming like a ghost as soon as you come back?"

Jun Wuxie frowned, his face gloomy, and pushed Kongxu away.

"Senior Brother, haha, did you bring back any good things for us?"

Xu Daoling also came, his eyes shining with excitement.

Jun Wuxie raised his hand and gave them two knocks on the head, leaving two bumps on their heads.

"Where's Uncle Bird?"

He asked in a deep voice.

"Isn't he in the sect?"

Xu Daoling and Kongxu looked resentful, rubbing the bruises on their heads.

"In my ass!"

Jun Wuxie slammed the spirit sword into the ground, the sword body shaking, and in the cold light, the few lines of words engraved on the sword body came into Xu Daoling and Kongxu's eyes.

Their expressions changed drastically.

"You immediately take this sword to find Old Wine!"

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he turned and rushed down the mountain, with thunderous sonic booms echoing all the way.

He came to the meeting place of He Jianyun and Uncle Bird.

Looking at the scene here, his heart kept sinking!

The top of this mountain was covered with sword marks, and one could tell at a glance that there had been a battle.

However, judging from these sword marks, the fighting at that time was not very intense.

The sword marks were not deep, and it should have been caused by the spread of the aftermath of the sword energy.

"He Jianyun, you are despicable and shameless!"

Jun Wuxie clenched his fists, and a surge of ferocity welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Based on the traces here, he could roughly deduce what had happened.

He Jianyun had invited Uncle Bird to meet here, but had secretly hidden many experts, so that Uncle Bird had not made an effective resistance and had fallen into He Jianyun's hands!

What he was most worried about now was Uncle Bird's safety.

The grievances between He Jianyun and Uncle Bird were extremely deep. He couldn't even imagine what kind of torture he would suffer in his hands!

"A single Great River Sword Sect does not have the ability to easily capture Uncle Bird! People from the Qingshan Sword Sect, and even the Kaitian Sword Sect, must have participated in this matter!"

Jun Wuxie's heart was filled with blazing killing intent, and his aura was icy and bone-chilling, making the air on the entire mountain top turn cold.

He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the Great River Sword Sect!

"He Jianyun, I will take your dog life today!"

He was furious and went directly to the Great River Sword Sect.

"Wuxie!"

Old Wine arrived and pulled him back.

"Old Wine!" Jun Wuxie turned around, looked at Old Wine with a solemn expression, and said, "Uncle Bird has fallen into the hands of He Jianyun and others, I must rescue him as soon as possible! Otherwise, I don't know what means He Jianyun will use to treat him!"

Old Wine shook his head and said, "You can't go! If He Jianyun and the others wanted to kill Qianshan, they would have killed him here. There is no need to take him away! If you kill the Great River Sword Sect now, will you be able to rescue him?"

"Not to mention whether you are a match for the people of the Great River Sword Sect, the Qingshan Sword Sect, and the Kaitian Sword Sect. Even if you can really defeat them, you will only force them to kill Qianshan. And, if they threaten you with Qianshan, what should you do?"

Jun Wuxie gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and slammed them on the ground.

Suddenly, the entire mountain cracked and almost collapsed.

Old Wine looked at him in shock.

The power of this punch had already surpassed many warriors in the Grandmaster Realm!

"Old Wine, you are right. If I kill the Great River Sword Sect now, I will only leave a handle, and the Qingshan Sword Sect and the Kaitian Sword Sect will use this as an excuse to attack our Zongwang Academy. I was too impulsive!"

He calmed down.

Now, the world does not know the despicable behavior of He Jianyun and others. Killing the Great River Sword Sect like this will leave a handle!

Why would He Jianyun and others take Uncle Bird away at this juncture?

He thought carefully that the Qingshan Sword Sect and the Kaitian Sword Sect should have known about his affairs in the Ancient City of the Southern Region long ago.

It is possible that they are doing this to add a trump card to themselves.

In the duel of life and death, if their people are not enemies, He Jianyun may use Uncle Bird to threaten him.

He told Old Wine his speculation, and Old Wine agreed.

"Now we can only wait for the day of the duel to come. When they all focus their minds on the duel, I will secretly sneak into the Great River Sword Sect and rescue Qianshan!"

"Old Wine, have you broken through to the Sect King Realm now?"

Old Wine shook his head and said, "Currently, I am at the half-step Sect King Realm. In another month, I should be able to break through. As long as the Kaitian Sword Sect has not sent a Sect King Realm powerhouse to hide in the Great River Sword Sect, I should be able to quietly rescue Qianshan while they are relaxed."

Jun Wuxie nodded.

He knew that Old Wine had to find an opportunity to save Uncle Bird.

Although Old Wine is now a half-step Sect King, even if he is discovered by someone in the Grandmaster Realm, he can't do anything to him.

But Old Wine cannot attack the Grandmasters of the Kaitian Sword Sect, otherwise the Zongwang Academy will usher in a catastrophe!

The higher-ups of the Kaitian Sword Sect dare not attack him, Jun Wuxie, but they dare to attack Old Wine and other people in the sect.
