Xing Chen returned to the Remnant Sword Sect without any pause. At this moment, the Remnant Sword Sect was completely under the control of Hun Haoran and Qian Hongkai, both of whom were extremely fearful of Xing Chen.
Therefore, now that Xing Chen wanted to break through and heal, this place was naturally his choice.
When Hun Haoran and Qian Hongkai saw that Xing Chen had actually returned, they were shocked and even more afraid of him.
After all, they knew very well what Xing Chen had gone to do; he had gone to the gate to seek revenge on Qin Yutang. Now that he had returned safely, it meant that even if the gate had not been completely destroyed, it had definitely suffered a significant loss.
In the secret chamber of the Remnant Sword Sect!
“With so many Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm should be no problem. However, I have just recently advanced to the Soul Realm, and raising my cultivation level again is definitely not a good choice.”
Xing Chen frowned slightly. There was a lot of Negative Power among these Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, but now was not the best time for him to improve his cultivation. At least he needed to consolidate for half a month before attempting to raise his level again.
“I don’t need to worry about credibility with these people. I can return their Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers in half a month just the same.” After pondering for a while, a glimmer flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. None of these people in the Sword Mound were good individuals, so there was no need for him to be overly concerned about reputation.
“Next, I will first consolidate my current cultivation level, and then borrow power from the Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers to break through the Bottleneck.” Xing Chen murmured to himself, then slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Time passed quickly; half a month went by in the blink of an eye. During this period, the Three Great Sect Masters visited the location of the gate once but did not wait for Xing Chen, which made them furious. However, given Xing Chen's strength, they did not dare take any action even with the presence of Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, especially since they had lost their own.
During this time, the Three Great Sect Masters thoroughly investigated Xing Chen's background. They all knew that he was currently in the Remnant Sword Sect, yet none dared approach him.
After all, the intimidation that Xing Chen had previously exerted on them was too great. They would rather face another force of equal standing than easily provoke Xing Chen again.
They could find more Earth-Level Remnant Soldiers, but if they lost their lives, there would be no way to recover them.
Besides these Three Major Forces, many other factions had also learned about Xing Chen. After all, he single-handedly wiped out an entire gate; his reputation was undeniably significant now.
“Did you hear? The gate was actually taken down by a young man all by himself.”
“Bullshit! If you don’t understand, don’t speak nonsense. It’s clear that other Three Major Forces teamed up against the gate because they found it unsatisfactory.”
"You both are wrong. The Master of the Passage, Zong Hongfei, is a pawn inserted by a powerful external force, which is why he was eliminated."
Such voices have spread throughout the outskirts of Sword Mound. Regardless of whether the major powers believe it or not, the name Xing Chen has been deeply etched in their minds.
During this time, many forces not weaker than Dragon Slayer Gate, Starfall Gate, and Blood Moon Sect have come to gather intelligence, wanting to understand what exactly is going on.
All the forces within Sword Mound have become tense due to this incident; such a situation has never occurred before!
While everyone outside is mobilized to investigate news about Xing Chen, he is hiding in the secret chamber of Remnant Sword Sect, quietly cultivating.
"Ha..." With his eyes closed in meditation, Xing Chen slowly opened his tightly shut eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid air, and murmured to himself, "After half a month of consolidation, breaking through the Bottleneck is no problem now."
Xing Chen took out the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier from the Thunderfire Divine Ring, preparing to absorb its Negative Power to break through his realm. However, he suddenly paused for a moment.
"I should first go see what's happening outside!"
Xing Chen put away the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier, stood up from the secret chamber, and arrived at the conference hall of Remnant Sword Sect. At this time, Hun Haoran, Qian Hongkai, and several powerful disciples of Remnant Sword Sect were present.
"Has anything happened?" Xing Chen asked as he entered the hall, looking at Hun Haoran.
"Indeed, some things have happened." Hun Haoran hesitated slightly before speaking. "Many unfamiliar faces have appeared near our Remnant Sword Sect, and numerous rumors have circulated outside."
Hun Haoran shared all the information he knew with Xing Chen. As Xing Chen listened to Hun Haoran's account, his eyes occasionally sparkled with brilliance.
After the last incident, he would definitely not act recklessly again. Now that he had become an object of others' attention, it was natural for him to find a way to eliminate those with ill intentions.
"What do you think we should do?" Xing Chen glanced at Hun Haoran. After all, Hun Haoran is currently the Master of Remnant Sword Sect, so Xing Chen naturally wanted to ask for his opinion.
"I think..." Hun Haoran was slightly taken aback. Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly stopped. He looked up at Xing Chen with a hint of fear in his eyes.
It should be noted that Xing Chen had never asked for anyone's opinion before; he always acted unilaterally. Now that he suddenly asked for Hun Haoran's opinion, Hun Haoran found it hard to guess what he meant.
"Just speak your mind if you have any suggestions," Xing Chen said lightly as he looked at him.
"I think our Remnant Sword Sect is currently too weak overall, and we must change this situation; otherwise, we will definitely be unable to compete with those major forces," Hun Haoran said cautiously, glancing at Xing Chen afterward.
"That makes sense; be more specific," Xing Chen nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
"All of our disciples in the Remnant Sword Sect are at the Earth Soul Realm, and there are no strong practitioners from the Soul Realm at all. With such strength, we can only be considered at the bottom tier in the Sword Mound."
"And to change this situation, we can only start from two points: one is weapons, and the other is pills. However, we don't have much of either in our sect, especially those instant-effect pills."
"So our main task now is to find pills that can enhance our strength and seek high-level Divine Weapons. Only then can we cope with the impending dangers."
Hun Haoran looked at Xing Chen after finishing.
Although Hun Haoran had come up with a method, the real headache was just beginning. First of all, they could hardly have many pills, let alone those that provide immediate effects.
As for weapons, that was even less likely. Even if they had them, with their Earth Soul Realm strength, they could at most use advanced human-tier remnants. Using Earth-level weapons would be a bit forced; once negative power invaded their bodies, they would almost instantly lose their minds and become puppets.
"Pills and weapons are not the problem. I want to know which forces are specifically probing into our affairs," Xing Chen slowly spoke.
After all, he had killed all the disciples in the passage and naturally obtained their Storage Rings. He certainly wouldn't let go of those remnants either, as they were treasures that could help him enhance his strength!
"The forces closest to us are Dragon Slayer Gate, Starfall Gate, and Blood Moon Sect—these three major forces. In addition, there are some forces closer to the core area like Lingyun Sect and Sun Chaser Sect. All these forces are investigating our Remnant Sword Sect."
Hun Haoran was taken aback for a moment before quickly speaking up.
"What is the specific strength of those forces closer to the core area?" Xing Chen asked with a slight raise of his brow.
"They are all very powerful; their leaders are at the Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak cultivation level. Additionally, there are some elders at Yang Po Er Chong and Guardians at Yang Po First Level."
Hun Haoran pondered for a moment before speaking.
"It seems these forces are indeed much stronger than the passage," Xing Chen nodded, secretly contemplating countermeasures. With his own strength alone, he would absolutely be unable to deal with these powerful forces; he needed to think of a strategy.
The people in Remnant Sword Sect were basically not very useful, and if Xing Chen wanted to deal with these powerful forces, he still had to start from himself.
"Looks like I have to do this myself!" Xing Chen sighed inwardly. He realized that it was nearly impossible for him to resist these powerful forces. After all, although only those at the Yang Spirit Second Layer Realm could enter the Sword Mound, even among those at the same level, there were significant differences in combat power.
If Xing Chen were to encounter a Yang Po Er Chong expert whose combat strength far exceeded his own cultivation, he would undoubtedly face death.
"Unless I can break through to the Half-Step Soul Realm or even reach the Soul Realm Pinnacle, it will be nearly impossible to contend with those forces," Xing Chen thought rapidly, but he couldn't come up with any feasible methods.
Seeing Xing Chen frowning deeply, Hun Haoran stood cautiously nearby, afraid of disturbing him and provoking his anger, which could cost him his life.
"It seems I can only absorb the Negative Power from the Earth-Level Remnant Soldier to enhance my cultivation first, then think about how to deal with these forces," Xing Chen concluded. With that thought, he didn't linger and turned back toward the secret chamber. After all, everything must be based on having the strength to accomplish it.
"What is he up to? Is he going to confront those forces again? Those forces are not something he can handle; if he goes this time, it's likely he won't come back," Hun Haoran remarked as he watched Xing Chen leave and turned to Qian Hongkai beside him.
"Who knows what he's planning? But he's not an idiot; he would never engage in something so reckless. So I think he's probably going into seclusion again," Qian Hongkai replied with an eye roll.
