Chapter 775: Tianchi Sword Sect
The martial world is always filled with endless opportunities and uncertainties!
Kai Xin is well aware of this—at any moment, a highly skilled expert might appear, either as a formidable rival or as someone who passes by like a shooting star, leaving little trace behind.
Like Huang Sha…
In his past life, an ordinary king-level expert who could dominate the world thanks to the Immortal Dark King Art now shines even brighter in this life.
The Immortal Dark King Art, the Great Heaven and Earth Shift!
These two extraordinary books double his strength…
The Female and Male Demons’ Immortal Seal Technique and Heavenly Demon Art will likely soon bring them to the pinnacle of the Central Plains martial world.
All of this urges Kai Xin not to slack off or become complacent.
Although nearly half of the Central Plains martial world is already under the control of the Mu family, Kai Xin feels the burden on his shoulders growing heavier.
Initially, he entered the game purely for revenge, continuing to use the name “Kai Xin” and following the plan from his past life to take revenge on the First-Class Hall. But over time, that became less important.
His heart could no longer accept Xu Yao—like a butterfly gently flapping its wings—yet the world became full of unknowns and confusion.
The early appearance of the heir to the Six Veins Divine Sword, the disappearance of the heir to the Northern Abyss Divine Art, and many other top experts who should have emerged like mushrooms after rain did not appear as frequently as in his past life.
Perhaps because the glory surrounding him in this life is too dazzling, and with the increasing burden, he no longer has time to focus on things that seemed important in his past life…
But Kai Xin understands.
Not rising to prominence doesn’t mean there were no opportunities in his past life; perhaps it’s because he feels his accumulated strength isn’t enough.
Kai Xin also feels his own strength is not yet sufficient.
Currently, the conflict between the righteous forces and the demonic sects is intensifying, and a great battle is likely to break out soon. Kai Xin doesn’t expect to stand out too much in this battle, but he doesn’t want to turn away when facing those two great demons, Shi Zhi Xuan and Zhu Yu Yan.
He has something in his hands that can pose a threat to them…
That is!
The Sky Crystal!!
Whoosh!
The bitter cold wind howls past his ears.
His clothes, white like the snow-capped mountains, flutter in the wind, and his hero’s headband flutters freely—but none of this can stop Kai Xin’s determined steps.
Without activating the Nine Yang Divine Art for protection, the harsh wind cuts like knives, burning his face.
Hiss!
Hiss!!
Step by step, he walked along the mountain path. Behind him, in the snowy ground, a set of clear footprints stretched slowly downhill.
Kai Xin hadn’t used any light-speed movement techniques. Since he had never taken this path in his past lives, it was his first time visiting Tianshan and Tianchi. The scenery along the way was extremely beautiful and magnificent. With such wonderful views, Kai Xin didn’t want to just pass by superficially.
Tianshan!
The Tianchi Sword Sect was a major sect, but to the martial arts world of the Central Plains, this place was rarely visited. Few players were willing to train here—usually, after staying for a while, they would choose to delete their accounts and start over, or go to other cities to join different sects! As a result, up to now, the Tianchi Sword Sect had little fame, with even few disciples.
Along the way, Kai Xin didn’t encounter a single person… It was extremely remote and desolate! It seemed as if he was the only one in the world! This feeling made him feel both wonder and loneliness.
He had been walking on this path for a long time. Looking at the summit not far ahead, a glimmer of enthusiasm flashed in Kai Xin’s eyes! He had arrived! Finally! Once he reached the summit, he would be able to see the legendary Tianchi…
Just then, a cold wind howled. Amidst the chill came the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind, along with a cold shout:
“Stop!”
“This is sacred territory of the Tianchi Sword Sect. Who are you? What do you want here?”
Kai Xin saw a blur before his eyes. Four women with beautiful faces appeared on the road ahead. They all wore snow-white dresses and white fur capes, holding swords, their cold gazes fixed on him.
“So you’re from the Tianchi Sword Sect. I’m a descendant of the Murong family—Kai Xin. I’m here to meet the sect leader…”
“The Murong family?”
“Kai Xin? You’re the famous Blue-Clothed Man from Gusu who’s become so renowned in the martial arts world…”
“He doesn’t seem that great—just a young man with a fair face.”
“The martial arts techniques of those famous sects in the Central Plains are nothing but fancy showpieces—good-looking but useless. I think this kid is just getting false fame…”
The four female disciples of the Tianchi Sword Sect sized Kai Xin up rudely, speaking without any courtesy, one after another, leaving him extremely embarrassed.
But since he had come to the Tianchi Sword Sect to suppress the violent sword energy caused by the “Heavenly Crystal” and nurture a divine artifact for future use as a trump card, he could only ignore their rudeness.
“Can the sect leader of our Tianchi Sword Sect be met just because you want to?”
“That’s right.”
“You’re just an ordinary disciple. You’d better go back.”
“Don’t come over unless you have the token,” the four women chattered, each speaking in turn.
Kai Xin was stunned.
A token?
“Does this count?”
He took out the token given to him by the master of the Purple Bamboo Forest from his bosom and showed it to the four women. He saw a flash of surprise in their eyes.
There’s a trick to this.
It seems the master of the Purple Bamboo Forest must be from the Tianchi Sword Sect, and quite high up in the hierarchy… Meeting the sect leader should be no problem now.
“Where did you get the Tianchi Sword Token?”
“While outside Gusu City, I happened to meet someone from the Purple Bamboo Forest…” Kai Xin explained how he obtained the token. The four women exchanged quick glances. Instead of inviting him to the Tianchi Sword Sect as he had expected, their expressions changed, and they swung their swords:
“The sect leader’s token, stolen two years ago, is in his hands!”
“Let’s attack together!”
“Catch him! Don’t let him escape!”
What?!
Hearing their words and seeing the gleaming swords, Kai Xin was speechless:
The sect leader’s token of the Tianchi Sword Sect? Stolen two years ago?
Could it be a coincidence?
Was that master of the Purple Bamboo Forest a thief?
“Don’t attack. I’ll go with you to see your sect leader. You can keep the token; I’ll explain things to him in person.” Although Kai Xin wasn’t afraid of being surrounded by those four experts at the Wuwei realm, he didn’t want to hurt them either. He dodged while speaking.
Since he was going to meet the sect leader anyway, it was just as well…
“…Hmph.”
Seeing that their combined sword techniques had no effect on Kai Xin, the four women grew disheartened. Realizing his extraordinary strength, they sheathed their swords. After exchanging glances, they nodded:
“Fine. Let the sect leader deal with him personally.”
Kai Xin could only smile bitterly: It seems the Tianchi Sword Token isn’t something good after all. Before he could resolve the issue with the Sky Crystal, another problem had arisen.
