This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Mo Yan did not elaborate, but the implication was very clear, and Lu Qingshan suddenly understood.

Although he was somewhat interested in the methods of the Dragon Slaying Saber, Lu Qingshan was also tactful and chose not to probe any further.

This was the scheme of the Dragon Slaying Saber, and it was not proper for him, an outsider, to ask too many questions.

The figure of the Black Jiao gradually receded until it disappeared from view.

"Mrs. Mo, please forgive the intrusion. I have other matters to attend to today, so I must take my leave now. I’ll come for a visit when I have the chance," Lu Qingshan did not linger at the Mo Family but bade farewell to Mrs. Mo and Mo Yan, then quickly left.

His objective in seeking Mrs. Mo had only been half-achieved due to her reticence.

The remaining half might only be resolved by using Xue Zhuyong as a breakthrough.

...

Jiao Yan abducted two Human Race children in Jiaolong City and brutally chewed and swallowed them.

Such ferocious behavior might seem as ordinary to the Jiao Clan as the Human Race casually picking wild fruit by the roadside to quench thirst.

How could this not make the common people loathe the Jiao Clan to the bone?

In Jiao Yan’s eyes, the flesh of Human Race children was the most delicious, yet those two children were merely appetizers for him and hardly filling.

But no matter what, Jiao Yan understood that more pressing matters were at hand, so he did not continue to satisfy his appetite and, with a flick of his tail, he shot straight towards the Sea God Sect.

In front of the thick light curtain emitted by the great formation of the Sea God Sect’s mountain gate, Jiao Yan suddenly stopped.

"As expected, something’s up; even the mountain gate’s great formation has been activated," Jiao Yan confirmed his speculation upon seeing the Sea God Sect in this state of heightened alert.

The moment Jiao Yan appeared outside of the Sea God Sect, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were maintaining the monitoring formation immediately spotted him.

They shuddered and promptly communicated the arrival of Jiao Yan upward. Not waiting for a response, they immediately began controlling the formation, withdrawing the light curtain that isolated the outside world.

It wasn’t that they dared to act rashly, but they understood that within the Sea God Sect, the Jiao Clan always held the highest status. The price of irritating the Sect Master by acting on their own was nothing compared to the cost of slighting Jiao Yan.

The light curtain slowly opened, revealing a huge gap.

Jiao Yan did not hesitate and darted in.

The moment he entered the Sea God Sect, Jiao Yan shook his enormous body, and in the blink of an eye, his figure abruptly shrank, and he ultimately transformed into human form.

Jiao Yan’s human incarnation was a young man dressed in black, with an exceptionally sinister appearance. His eyes were full of ferocity and the wildness unique to demon beasts. The most eerie feature was an extremely ugly and fierce protrusion on the man’s forehead.

This was common when demon beasts took on human form: distinctive racial features, such as the tail of a fox demon or the ears of a cat demon, would not disappear even after transformation.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Sea God Sect had no time to lose and hurried to greet him, "Lord Jiao Yan!"

Jiao Yan’s voice was exceedingly cold, "Where is Han Qiu? Why hasn’t he come to meet me?"

"Please forgive us, Lord! The Sect Master has just convened all the Golden Core Elders in the Sect’s main hall for a meeting not long ago. He might not have received the news of Lord’s visit and hence the delay," the Foundation Establishment disciple responded to Jiao Yan’s inquiry with a trembling voice, carefully explaining.

"In the Sect’s main hall?" Jiao Yan’s demeanor was exceedingly cold. He ignored the trembling Foundation Establishment Cultivators, surrounded by swirling black demonic energy, transformed into a cloud of black mist, and flew straight toward the Sea God Sect’s main hall.

Seeing Jiao Yan depart, the Foundation Establishment disciples finally wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, not knowing when it had appeared, as if they had narrowly escaped death.

It’s no wonder they were so fearful; the prestige of the Jiao Clan was indeed formidable.

Despite the Sea God Sect’s dominance on the island, they were no different from others in the face of the Jiao Clan.

Especially when facing the most ferocious Lord Jiao Yan, whose temper was unpredictable, and acted wholly on a whim. There had been instances where he treated the Sea God Sect cultivators like mere sheep, devouring them whole on a sudden fancy.

...

When Lord Jiao Yan arrived at the main hall of the sect, Real Person Han Jiu, clad in a Sea God Sect robe, had already been waiting for him.

"Lord Jiao Yan," Real Person Han Jiu greeted respectfully.

Lord Jiao Yan certainly recognized Real Person Han Jiu. However, instead of feeling pleased by the respectful greeting, he glanced at the still closed doors of the hall and suddenly erupted, "Where is Han Qiu? You came alone to welcome me? Has the Sea God Sect become so brazenly bold, no longer considering me important, daring to treat me so casually?"

Bang!

Before Han Jiu could offer a detailed explanation, Lord Jiao Yan erupted in anger, lifted his hand, and a black seal flew from his palm. The seal swelled rapidly in the air to the size of a small mountain and crashed towards the main hall doors with an alarming momentum.

In Lord Jiao Yan’s eyes, no matter the reason, the fact that the Sea God Sect cultivators did not place him in the highest regard, greeting him immediately, was an offense to him.

The main doors, crafted from high-quality spirit material, were no match for the seal as massive as a peak; they were instantly reduced to dust, scattering everywhere.

The doors were broken, and the inside of the main hall came into Lord Jiao Yan’s view, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Inside the main hall, it was indeed crowded, but not a single familiar face from the Sea God Sect could be seen... Perhaps it can’t be said there weren’t any familiar faces if one counts Han Qiu, sprawled on the ground like a lifeless corpse.

"Such impulsive behavior hardly seems fitting for Lord Jiao Yan," the Sword Master said, locking eyes with Jiao Yan and initiating an offensive remark.

"It’s you!" Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the Sword Master’s face, Jiao Yan’s pupils constricted sharply.

"It is me." The Sword Master, grasping a blood-red Full Moon Saber in his one arm, exuded a chilling intent to kill.

"As the Sect Master of the Blood Blade Sect, my father bit off the arm with which you wielded your saber and you fled in disarray," Jiao Yan scoffed, "And now you dare return? Did you reach the Nascent Soul Stage in your cultivation and think you’ve become capable once more?"

In the face of Jiao Yan’s mockery, the Sword Master gripped the Full Moon Saber in his hand even tighter, his eyes brimming with hatred.

"Fight!" No more patience to endure, no necessity to withhold. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As soon as the Sword Master finished speaking, Real Person Han Jiu received the command and immediately formed a seal gesture with his hands.

A dense fog rose from nowhere, swiftly enveloping the area, infused with an extremely oppressive aura.

Behind the Sword Master, all the Golden Core cultivators of the Dragon Slaying Saber were now holding a golden Array Plate, channeling spiritual power into them.

Countless golden threads surged from the Array Plates, shining brightly within the dark fog and sparkling brilliantly.

This was the Golden Silk Mist Formation, ready by the Dragon Slaying Saber specifically for subduing Jiao dragons.

The moment the golden threads detached from the Array Plates, they spread like agile serpents, enveloping Lord Jiao Yan from all directions.

Lord Jiao Yan’s demon aura surged mightily, attempting to repel the golden threads immediately.

But the golden threads proved impervious to both water and fire, remaining unaffected as the demon aura passed over them, not even causing the slightest ripple.
