Spirit Emperor - C55

After returning to his room, Li Xun pondered over and over again before deciding not to tell anyone else about it. Right now, everyone was practicing their sword moves behind their heads. If they knew that the Sword Sect was facing a crisis, it would affect their mental state.

Nothing had happened along the way, but he had seen many troops heading towards the border cities.

After entering the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect did not split up. This Soul Hunting Sword had the benefit of many people. The demonic beast hordes that they didn’t dare to touch before could now be attacked by many people.

On the fourth day, over a hundred low-level disciples had completed their requirements for the Spirit Slaying Sword. However, the people from Sky Academy and the five students from the other academies still needed to enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range to hunt for the Sword Soul. Before this, they had always been the guardians.

“Elder Gu, let Elder Wei and the three Rain Level Elders accompany us to head deeper. Please let these disciples rest here, I suggest that they find more demon beasts with similar strength to fight with in order to increase their combat experience. This generation of demon beasts has a lot of them, so we don’t have to worry about not having any opponents. Li Xun suggested.

The three Thunder Level Elders were all at the peak of the 11th step, but Elder Gu was the oldest in the sword faction, Elder Wei was the youngest among the three, and there was also Elder Suo, who was a good person. Thus, if they had to choose a Thunder Level Elder to accompany Li Xun and the others to go deeper, Elder Wei would undoubtedly be the most suitable person. Elder Wei and Elder Suo must have long since known from Elder Gu about Li Xun’s true strength, so their words were extremely polite to Li Xun. Elder Wei and Elder Suo must have already heard of Li Xun’s true strength from Elder Gu, so their words were extremely polite to Li Xun.

“Li Xun, don’t you think it’s better if you bring a few more Rain Level Elders?”

“Elder Gu, the three of you are enough. If we are really in danger, a few more Rain Level Elders will definitely be able to help us. We might as well stay here and support us at any time.”

Finally, he no longer needed to be a guard but instead hunted down the Sword Soul. The other five disciples from the other branches were also old acquaintances of theirs. Thirteen months ago, they had also been to the Skysword Academy, but they were taken away by this “abnormal” Li Xun.

While Li Xun was alone to scout out the road, one of them asked in a low voice: “Lu Regiment, I heard that many of you were sent to hell, are you the most miserable one?”

“Hey, who says it isn’t? Fortunately, I have a lot of meat, hehe. ”

This group of people could not help but secretly laugh, this group of people was too good at pretending, obviously he had the most obvious increase in strength, after killing the Sword Soul this time he should be able to enter the eighth step in one year, from the early seventh step to the eighth step, this speed was really enviable for others. As for Zhou Jie and the others, they all knew that they were different from the others, so they weren’t in the same league.

As everyone was chatting, the disciples of the Sky Heaven School were naturally complaining incessantly. Of course, they had indeed suffered a lot. As for the harvest, no one had said a word. This was what Li Xun had instructed them to do. If they spoke of their gains bitterly, others would only be able to see them. Otherwise, the disciples who would come again in the future would not cherish this opportunity. Actually, every department had a body tempering method, but it wasn’t as intense as the Skysoul Institute. It could be said to be cruel.

After a short moment, Li Xun returned. Looking at his face full of smiles, it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with the results. He informed the discovery to Elder Wei and the other three elders and began to discuss it with them.

“No, no. Li Xun, that would be too dangerous. It’s basically a battle that involves you challenging someone with a higher cultivation level. Although there is a chance, it is too risky.” Elder Wei said.

The other three elders didn’t dare take the risk when they heard Li Xun’s plan. They all knew that the people Li Xun had brought along were the elites among the young disciples, and losing even one of them was a huge loss.

“In my opinion, how about we leave it to them to choose?”

The four of them felt that this was also a compromise. Although the swordsmen were usually the ones who led the teams to hunt Swordsouls, the final choice was still in the hands of the disciples.

“In front of us is a shallow valley 1500 meters away. At the entrance of the valley are six Red Horned Rhino, one is an early Eighth Order, two are peak Seventh Order, and three are early Seventh Order.” The six of them were very close, so they had to be dealt with together. The Lu Regiment is in charge of the early stage of the eighth step. Yan Li, Jin Yongsen is in charge of the peak of the seventh step, while the three of you are in charge of the early stage of the seventh step. “Do you have any objections?” Li Xun pointed at the other three students.

The eyes of Lu Qun, Yan Li, and Jin Yongsheng were all shining as they eagerly waited for the opportunity to show themselves. The other three revealed troubled expressions. Although the three of them were at the early seventh step, their masters had already placed them at the peak of the sixth step before they came here. The advantage of humans lay in their intelligence and techniques, but demon beasts were bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty. When they saw blood, they would often become even crazier, and if the person fighting them had any fear, then their wisdom and techniques would be broken as well. Therefore, it was usually the safest way to kill demon beasts that were weaker than them and obtain the sword soul.

The three of them could only nod in agreement when they saw that Lu Regiment was challenging them beyond their levels. After all, everyone was of similar strength before, and only Lu Regiment was slightly stronger than them.

“Alright, in a while, Elder Wei and I will block the path to the valley.” Alright, in a while, Elder Wei and I will block the path to the valley. Three elders, you will be responsible for the safety of those who fight. ”

1,500 meters was just a matter of time for the group, but the hunt began very quickly. The final result caused the four elders and the five branch disciples to be greatly shocked. The three of them had managed to defeat their opponents with their own strength at the cost of serious injuries, and the group of three had even used the Golden Sword Qi while the other three had only completed the mission with the help of the elders. This was one of the effects of those nine months of brutal training. When you were on the verge of death for a long period of time, being able to heavily injure your opponent was a good choice. However, the three disciples were different. If they had been willing to fight to the death, they would have been able to complete the mission on their own. However, due to their experience and intelligence, they did not dare to do so.

Although the three of them were heavily injured, they were still very excited, because not only did the three of them feel that their Soul Swords had more than tripled in strength, they had also obtained a sword skill gem. Originally, they did not have much hope in obtaining any sword skills or gems, but after coming into contact with those sword moves, they started to yearn to harvest as many gems as possible as soon as possible. Everyone would feel the need to kill the sword spirit as their strength increased. But, the chance of absorbing a sword spirit was not limited to seven times, if one wanted to obtain a sword skill gem, they needed to use their life to increase the power of the soul sword. Of course, the more they obtained a sword skill gem, the lower the chance they had of losing their life, and especially from the eighth time onwards, the chance of obtaining a sword spirit gem was very small. This was common knowledge. The reason why the young disciples were not informed beforehand was because their strengths were not enough. Knowing more would only harm them more.

After this battle, the four elders and the five branch disciples finally understood why the Sect Leader wanted to send those disciples to the Heavenly Court. It turned out that such a huge gap could be created in a year.

At night, everyone sat together and chatted, the four Elders were all happily looking at the Sky Mountain Sect’s hope for the future, and the five disciples had also walked out from their temporary disappointment, because Li Xun had told them that they would have a chance to go to the Heavenly Academy again in the future.

Li Xun had asked the old man why he was training these disciples. Naturally, this old man would not hide it from him. He told Li Xun that it could be considered a deal and that he and the others would help the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect train their disciples, but in the future, they would have the opportunity to command these disciples. In fact, on the night that Baili Feng arrived, the two of them had discussed this matter. Ouyang Qingfeng had also anticipated the threat from the Seven Sects Alliance, and the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect was definitely taking advantage of them. It was hard to say whether or not these disciples could truly help them, but to go from the Sword Soul Island to the true Sword Soul Continent was just a formality, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few people coming and going between these two continents in the past tens of thousands of years. As for how they were going to do it, the old man didn’t say, he only said that Li Xun’s strength was not enough, and knew that it would cause trouble for him.

Over the next few days, although the wounded were one after the other, the four elders chose to remain silent, as long as the undead were not crippled. Even the remaining two disciples from the other branches knew their place, but the price for the two of them was indeed huge. One of them was heavily injured and had been in recovery for at least a month, while the other one had been in a coma for two days and two nights without being able to wake up.
