Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

No matter how many times it's broken, he can rebuild and reconstruct! But the feathers of the immortal crane that were torn and destroyed are refined and dissolved by the sword energy! They can't be restored!

With prolonged battle, Tie Dan will surely win!

Then Qingluo should make it fast!

"Screech—!"

The immortal crane soared into the sky! Diving to attack! With one charge! The crane's beak directly pierced through the Azure Dragon's eyes! Breaking through the dragon's head! Drilling straight into the dragon ball!

"Roar—!"

The Azure Dragon spat thunder and spewed electricity! Scales flaring wildly! Twisting to kill! Directly tearing the crane feathers into fragments! Falling in pieces!

"Boom!"

The shocking Dao Power oscillated, scattering impacts, and the crane feathers and dragon scales shot and shattered! Swirling sword energy filled the sky! Dao Power impacts! Waves of Qi and sword wind swept and spread, slicing through vegetation and rocks into layers of fragments, shaving them into fine dust!

"I won."

In the dust and wind, two figures holding swords appeared in confrontation.

Tie Dan held the Beichen Sword, standing firm amidst the sword wind.

The Green Snail Ancestor was silent for a moment, looking down, seeing that his feathered robe had been torn to shreds by the sword light, hanging on his body like a beggar's rags.

"...I suppose you won."

"What do you mean, suppose? I did win, and even if we fight again, I'll still win!"

The Green Snail Ancestor looked at the boy opposite, who was covered in blood, leaking wind, and spurting blood from all over his Qi acupoints, showing doubt,

"You're bleeding from the seven orifices, can you really fight again?"

Tie Dan snorted coldly, sprayed two streams of blood from his nose, wiped his face casually,

"None of your business! Anyway, I won!"

"..."

The Green Snail Ancestor could see that this guy had suffered internal injuries from the shock, yet he was still so stubborn, leaving him speechless for a moment.

However, he didn't persist either, considering he relied on two or three thousand years of inner strength to wound a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, there's nothing to boast about.

Instead, he truly couldn't easily subdue this youngster, and couldn't even break the other's sword energy for a time, getting his clothes torn by the chaotic swords in the process. Being of the ancestor's generation, he really was too embarrassed to continue fighting.

"Alright, alright, consider you won this round."

The Green Snail Ancestor sheathed his sword and casually tossed a piece of jade towards him.

Tie Dan caught it with a raised hand, frowning slightly, discovering it was a Jade Cicada with a human's soul stored within. He recognized it as the soul jade used by the Mystic Sect to nurture souls and protect disciples' reincarnation...

"The Yan family's Immortal Fate is given to the Sword Sect!"

And in an instant, the Green Snail Ancestor vanished with the wind, far away thousands of miles, with no trace.

Tie Dan was momentarily speechless.

After fighting fiercely, sustaining internal injuries, he got a Yan family soul in exchange? What sort of Immortal Fate is this?

What? Is he supposed to help them reincarnate, then accept them as a Sword Sect disciple, train them into talent, and teach them the sword?

For what? Just because he owed the Yan family a favor?

Just the thought annoyed Tie Dan. He'd only been cultivating for a few years, and now he's supposed to teach disciples? How would he even do that? No one properly taught him!

Forget it, just take it back to Hidden Sword Manor and leave it there for care, at least it can be traded for one cent.

So Tie Dan put away the soul jade, spitting blood, and descended into the valley to search for the Nine Cauldrons.

Then he found the Nine Cauldrons were gone...

Huh? What? Darn it!

Such a large cauldron! It made such a big pit in the ground! And it's gone!?

Who else in this world could steal the Nine...

Hey!! That old thing!!

Tie Dan was infuriated! Pinching the formula to control the sword! Leaping straight...

"Puff!"

Upon manipulating the Qi slightly, Tie Dan felt severe pain in his meridians, spurted blood from seven orifices, and collapsed to the ground.

Ah...defeated, defeated, still outsmarted...

In the end, still too weak... If only he could crush that old thing with one sword, none of this would happen...

At this moment, severely wounded, Tie Dan searched again, but couldn't find even the shadow of the cauldron, confirming it must have been swiped by the old thing. At the moment, he had no means of retrieval.

After all, that Nine Cauldrons indeed wasn't an Immortal Family's Spiritual Treasure, if hidden by the Old Xuan Sect, Tie Dan truly couldn't calculate its whereabouts.

Moreover, now severely injured, he couldn't even fly, let alone catch up with that old thing to reclaim the cauldron. So Tie Dan decided to dig a hole nearby, shelter underground for breath control to first heal his wounds and harmonize his disrupted meridians, then consider his next steps.

Previously, using the Yao Guang Oscillation Sword Technique, Tie Dan assisted in the Soldier Disintegration of the Corpse Resolving Immortal Soldier, and the explosion aftermath penetrated the surface, causing a celestial phenomenon when the death Qi surged through the rifts created by the Divine Light.

Additionally, the recent Divinity Transformation battle between Tie Dan and Qingluo left dense Spiritual Qi on the battlefield due to their Dharma Manifestation Heaven and Earth, despite shattered heads and bleeding bodies.

Now that old beast broke his promise and fled with the Nine Cauldrons, Tie Dan couldn't chase, so he absorbed the residual Spiritual Qi, used the Blood Jade Technique for healing, and the Earth Evil Sword for body sculpting, quickly stabilizing his internal injuries.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Suddenly, Tie Dan's Divine Sense shifted, noises of breaking through space echoed from above the valley, waking him from healing.

Fortunately, as a precaution, he used the Yishan Guard's method to burrow underground, hiding within the rock face, temporarily unnoticed.

Hearing the sounds, he quickly ceased breathing control and formed an Invisibility Technique, hiding between the cliffs peering outside.

Indeed, two cultivators flew in, checking the pit left by the Nine Cauldrons' impact.

"It's right here."

"There's nothing here. How did you deduce it? Why can't I figure it out?"

"You don't understand, the Nine Cauldrons isn't worldly, only special Immortal Family Magic Artifacts can locate it. Look at this."

"...What am I looking at? What's the beeping about? Is there a cricket inside?"

"What cricket, this is the sound emitted by the Nine Cauldrons, humans can't hear, but artifacts can.

The Nine Cauldrons is right here, but something has hidden it."

"Hidden? But I swept it with my Divine Sense, found nothing!"

"Hehe, many things in this world can shield from Divine Sense, sometimes you shouldn't trust your eyes too much.

Don't rush, the item is surely here, search bit by bit.

Once we offer the Nine Cauldrons to the Great General, glory and wealth are within reach..."

Hmm? Is the item still here?

Tie Dan was puzzled.

Who are these people? From the Immortal Palace? Not relying on calculations or Divine Sense, able to track the Nine Cauldrons?

Furthermore, if the Nine Cauldrons is indeed still here, why did it suddenly vanish?

Could that thing have some hidden mode activated during the fall?

Or... are there other people on site hiding the Nine Cauldrons...

Thus Tie Dan's eyes darted, deciding to remain silent for now, crouching to observe, then mantis stalking the cicada...

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Someone's coming!

"Quick! Hide!"

The two quickly dug holes and hid underground.

Then starlight fell from the sky, and two more cultivators descended.

"Is it here then."

"Indeed, according to the hexagram, the Divine Soul of the Yan family's remaining scion is here.

"Remaining scion? What, isn't that Yan Wenzhong?"

"If not, even better. That Yan Pingyuan was originally loyal to the Immortal Palace, now posthumously honored as Three Ministers, further protected by the Divine List, whether he becomes a City God or a land deity, he might even be appointed as a Wenqu Star Official, we can't control him, saving him is useless.

But the Yan family was loyally patriotic, and now only one child's lonely soul hasn't reincarnated. Now favored by heaven and gathering destiny altogether, according to the hexagram, it seems to have received the aid of an Immortal, refined into a heroic spirit.

As long as we can summon his soul and help him reincarnate, bring him into our sect, he will ultimately be blessed by the heavens, and Genzhou will eventually fall into our hands."

"Good, no time to lose, let's perform the ritual."

The two were quite efficient, setting up a formation on the spot, erecting banners, seemingly truly about to start a ritual to summon the soul.

So Tie Dan's eyes darted, deciding to remain silent for the moment, crouching to observe, then lark takes afterwards...

"Swoosh—!"

Suddenly, a blood-red light broke through the sky! Obscuring the clouds! Dyeing the sky crimson!

"Caw caw! I said who is summoning souls! Turns out it's Demon Sect brats!"

"Audacious Demon Sect! Dare to run rampant in the Central Plains! Truly think the Mystic Sect is unguarded!"

"Bah! Damned Demon Sect! I'm a General under the Heavenly King! Yin Mountain Eighteen Riders! Tao Bao is here! Eat my halberd!"

"Blood Demon Domineering Body Technique!"

"Senior brother, be careful!"

"Boom boom boom bang bang bang!"

Immediately, the later arrivals disregarded all, clashing fiercely.

So Tie Dan's eyes darted, deciding to remain still, crouching to observe, then sandpiper and clam fight...

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, a full-metal rat leaped from underground! Taking advantage of the chaotic battle!

Clutching the Genzhou Cauldron, darting out under Tie Dan's nose! Jumping across the ravine, escaping far away!

What what what?? Mechanical monster!??
