Death Grip
After the Sword Sect sent out invitations, various major forces were shaken, and everyone wondered what the Sword Sect's purpose was in sending out invitations at this time.
After all, if it were any other force, they would definitely defend their Sect and not allow other forces to cause trouble.
However, the Sword Sect went against the grain; if there wasn't something fishy going on, they would never believe it even if you beat them to death.
While many forces were puzzled, the other two major forces of Sword Kingdom, the royal family and Guangyang Prefecture, were also invited by the Sword Sect to come here, along with some other major forces from Sword Kingdom.
Their purpose was naturally to assist the Sword Sect. After all, the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword was forged by the Sword Sect itself. Even if someone wanted to compete for it, that would be an internal matter of Sword Kingdom. They would absolutely not allow outside forces to take away the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.
Seven hours quickly passed, and everyone was preparing to go to the Sword Sect for the appointment. However, Yun Qing showed no signs of leaving seclusion.
Without Yun Qing present, the Azure Cloud Gang instantly became the weakest force among the Sun Kingdom Three Major Forces.
Currently, among all members of the Azure Cloud Gang, the strongest was Lin Luori. Although he was at the Yang Po Sevenfold realm, he still had a significant gap compared to those like Xu Shuo, who were at the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm.
“Everyone, today is the day we go to the Sword Sect for our appointment. Without our master here, we have become much more passive,” said Xing Chen, his gaze flickering as he looked at those present.
Aside from Setting Sun Hall Hall Master Lin Luori, there were also two deputy Hall Masters from Setting Sun Hall. This time, when Yun Qing came to Sword Kingdom, he brought many core disciples along with him, and all of the senior management of Setting Sun Hall followed. As for the other two halls, they were left behind in Sun Kingdom to guard the Headquarters, in case anything unexpected happened.
“Young Master Chen is right; without our leader here, we have indeed become very passive. The two old rascals, Xu Shuo from Eastern Sun Gang and Imperial Ancestor Huang, will definitely take this opportunity to suppress us in the Azure Cloud Gang.”
Lin Luori frowned and said that he still had some understanding of Xu Shuo and Huang. These two old rascals would definitely not miss the opportunity to suppress the Azure Cloud Gang. If there were any dangers, they would surely push the members of the Azure Cloud Gang to the front as shields.
"No matter what, this time we cannot retreat when going to the Sword Sect. As for Huang and Xu Shuo, I believe they wouldn't dare to do anything too excessive."
One of the deputy Hall Masters beside Lin Luori, named Wang Wenxing, who had reached the peak of Yang Po Sixth Level and was just a step away from Yang Po Sevenfold, remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"That's right. This time we cannot retreat when going to the Sword Sect. Although Huang and Xu Shuo are powerful, they wouldn't directly attack us. When we head to the Sword Sect later, let everyone below restrain themselves and try not to give them a chance to pick a fight."
Xing Chen lightly tapped his fingers on the table and spoke calmly.
"Understood, Young Master Chen." Lin Luori and the others nodded. Even if Xing Chen didn't say so, they would still restrain their disciples below. After all, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures were needed. If they sought trouble with the Eastern Sun Gang and the royal family at this moment, it would truly be seeking their own demise.
"You all go prepare. Once we arrive at the Sword Sect, try not to cause any trouble. We'll wait for Master to arrive before taking any action," Xing Chen nodded and said to Lin Luori and the others.
Lin Luori and the three slightly cupped their hands and slowly exited, leaving only Xing Chen, who wore a contemplative expression, and Yuer standing beside him.
At this moment, Xing Chen's mind was filled with thoughts about the Sword Sect. Originally, with Yun Qing's strength, obtaining the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword this time was almost a sure thing. However, Yun Qing was currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to Gaze of Fate.
Moreover, there was also some error in estimating the timing. Everyone initially thought that it would take another half month for the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword to appear, but unexpectedly, within seven days, it had already been forged, while Yun Qing still had some time left in seclusion.
"Young Master Chen, are you still thinking about matters concerning the Sword Sect?" Half an hour passed quickly, yet Xing Chen remained deep in thought. Without Yun Qing present, he had no confidence regarding matters related to the Sword Sect.
"Yes! This trip to the Sword Sect will likely be perilous, especially at such a critical moment with Master still in seclusion; we are even more passive."
Xing Chen nodded. With their current strength, it would be impressive enough just to keep their lives intact without trying to seize the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword. However, since they had already received an invitation from the Sword Sect, if they did not go now, how would the Azure Cloud Gang survive in the future?
"If it really doesn't work, we'll wait for the leader to come out before going to the Sword Sect!" Yuer said after a moment of silence.
"Today is the seventh day, and we from Azure Cloud Gang naturally cannot be absent, or we will be looked down upon," Xing Chen said, his eyes flickering. They had to go to the Sword Sect; however, they needed to prepare more strategies. It would be best if Yun Qing could arrive in time, but if not, they had to ensure their own safety.
Soon, Lin Luori arrived again. Xu Shuo and the others were already prepared to head to the Sword Sect, so he specifically came to call Xing Chen.
"I'll go down right away." After hearing Lin Luori's words, Xing Chen nodded and walked out of the room toward the first-floor hall.
The first-floor hall was already crowded with people. Xu Shuo and Huang, two powerful figures at Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm, were present along with over a hundred strong practitioners at Yang Spirit Realm.
"What's going on? Has the Cloud Leader not come out yet?" Xu Shuo asked with a hint of doubt as he looked at Xing Chen.
"My master is still in seclusion; it seems he won't be able to go to the Sword Sect this time," Xing Chen replied coldly.
Although Xu Shuo's words seemed innocuous at first glance, upon closer inspection, many issues became apparent. This person had ulterior motives; his question was meant to inform Huang nearby.
With Yun Qing not present at Azure Cloud Gang, there was no need for him to hold back; they could do whatever they wanted with Azure Cloud Gang's members.
Huang, an old fox who had lived for decades, naturally understood Xu Shuo's intentions.
"At such a critical moment, how can the Cloud Leader still be in seclusion? Quickly bring him down; otherwise, how can my Sun Kingdom obtain the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword?"
Huang slightly raised his head to look at Xing Chen, his tone carrying an undeniable authority, while a powerful aura instantly enveloped Xing Chen.
"During my master's seclusion, no one is allowed to disturb him; otherwise, there will be no mercy!" A cold light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. These two old rascals had no good intentions. At this moment, he absolutely could not show any signs of weakness; otherwise, the entire Azure Cloud Gang would never be able to lift their heads again in the future.
As Xing Chen's voice fell, all the members of the Azure Cloud Gang turned their icy cold gazes toward Huang and Xu Shuo.
"Oh? Interesting..." Huang looked at Xing Chen with a hint of interest in his eyes. Although he knew that Xu Shuo, this old Rascal, was using him as a pawn, he didn't mind at all because the Azure Cloud Gang was indeed an enemy of their royal family.
Even though they had to unite due to the current situation, Huang would never miss any opportunity to suppress the Azure Cloud Gang.
Meanwhile, Xu Shuo wore a slight smile, watching everything with great interest. Although it was a crucial moment for seizing the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword and internal conflict was not advisable, this was also a rare opportunity to suppress the Azure Cloud Gang.
Moreover, without Yun Qing, the Azure Cloud Gang wouldn't be much help in their current operation. If it weren't for concerns about appearances, they would have directly slaughtered Xing Chen and the others long ago.
"Rascal, you must be Yun Qing's recently accepted Closed-Door Disciple, right? You do have some courage, but the more you act like this, the faster you will die."
Huang's eyes seemed to shoot out two beams of light, and Xing Chen's expression suddenly changed. A blood-red long sword appeared in front of his chest, and a wave of bloodthirsty aura instantly spread out.
After those two beams of light struck the blood-colored long sword, with a 'clang', Xing Chen was instantly sent flying. However, thanks to the protection of the Slaying God Sword, although he was injured, he did not suffer any fatal harm.
"Young Master Chen..." Seeing Xing Chen being knocked away, Yuer, who had been by his side, quickly exclaimed and flashed to stand in front of the fallen Xing Chen.
"Huang, you are provoking our Azure Cloud Gang! Everyone attack! First eliminate those from the royal family; leave no one behind!"
Lin Luori's expression also turned grim. He hadn't expected Huang to actually dare to strike at Xing Chen, nearly killing him. If it weren't for the top-tier Earth-Level Divine Weapon in Xing Chen's hand blocking Huang's attack, he would have already returned to the Underworld by now.
"Yes, Hall Master!"
All the disciples of the Azure Cloud Gang responded in unison as countless Thunderfire Bombs suddenly appeared in their hands. These Thunderfire Bombs were precisely what Yun Qing had extorted from Huang back then; it was unexpected that they would actually come in handy now.
"Wait a moment, Lin, the Hall Master, don't get too worked up. We are allies now; there's no need to make our relationship so tense."
Just as the members of the Azure Cloud Gang were about to attack, Xu Shuo, the old fox, suddenly stepped forward, looking like a peacemaker.
"Enough of this useless talk! Where were you just now? Since he dares to attack Young Master Chen, that is a provocation against the entire Azure Cloud Gang and an insult to our leader. Everyone, attack!"
Lin Luori showed him no respect and shouted sternly.
"Stop... cough cough... stop!" At that moment, Xing Chen's voice came from afar. He staggered to his feet, blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
"Old Rascal, if you have the guts, take my seven moves. After seven moves, let's see if you can still survive!" A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Xing Chen's eyes.
