Divine Sword Hall.
Although it was deep into the night.
Here, the lights were bright, and it was still very busy.
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was still dealing with affairs.
Besides the internal affairs of the sect, there were also the dispatching of the martial artists and the allocation of elixirs and weapon resources to support frontline battles, which all required his personal attention as the Sect Leader.
Now, the vast majority of Divine Sword Sect’s power had already been dispatched to the front lines.
The number remaining to guard the Divine Sword Sect was less than a third of the usual.
Among them, many had been withdrawn from the frontline for rest and healing.
Precisely because of the severe shortage of strength, many retired elders had been called back to duty.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside, and two Divine Sword Sect disciples supported a person into the Divine Sword Hall.
"Master, Great Granduncle Teacher has returned."
Lei Zhao anxiously called out.
"Granduncle Teacher, what has happened to you?"
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu first paused in surprise, then quickly got up and rushed over, holding up Xiao Wendao.
Xiao Wendao’s face was pale, with blood still on his body, clearly showing that he was seriously injured.
"I’m alright...."
He hurriedly waved his hand, sat down with the help of Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu, and just as he was about to speak, he started coughing violently.
After a while, he calmed down.
But blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Granduncle Teacher, what exactly happened?"
Feng Shaoyu quickly helped wipe the blood from Xiao Wendao’s mouth and then asked.
It was so late, why did Granduncle Teacher suddenly come back, and still, he was seriously injured.
At this time, shouldn’t Granduncle Teacher be at the front?
Could it be that there had been a significant defeat at the frontline?
"Yesterday’s battle, due to my oversight, I was caught alone and ambushed..."
Xiao Wendao briefly explained the situation.
"What about the frontline..."
Feng Shaoyu couldn’t help asking.
"For now, I don’t know, but... it shouldn’t be too serious, in terms of the number of Heavenly People, we are not at a disadvantage...."
Xiao Wendao shook his head and said.
The Luo Imperial Family probably knew about his unhealed old injury, which is why they specifically targeted him and set up an ambush.
Originally there were two Heavenly People ambushing him, and the reason only Chen Ao followed and pursued him later was probably that the other Luo Imperial Family’s Heavenly Person thought that he wouldn’t survive Chen Ao’s chase and therefore went to support other battlefronts.
Otherwise, if two Heavenly People were chasing him, he would surely not have been able to escape for so long.
"You immediately send a hawk message to the frontline about my situation... Oh right, Chen Ao of the Xuanming Sect has fallen."
Xiao Wendao suddenly remembered something and mentioned it at once.
"What?"
Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu was startled.
A Heavenly Person from the Xuanming Sect has fallen?
"Old Ghost Xiao, did you counter-kill that wretch Chen Ao?"
At that moment, an old female voice unexpectedly rang out.
Following that, a Heavenly Person from Baihua Palace walked in.
After nearly a year of recuperation, her injuries had somewhat healed.
"Yeah, it was just luck."
Xiao Wendao nodded and said: "If he hadn’t been overly confident, I would have been the one to die."
He didn’t divulge the real situation.
Because he did not want the matter of other Heavenly People moving around the Divine Sword Sect to get out.
In his view, this Heavenly Person seemed to be very friendly to the Divine Sword Sect.
The existence of this Heavenly Person was a kind of invisible protection for the Divine Sword Sect.
He was even less willing to reveal this Heavenly Person’s existence.
"Good, good, good, that old wretch Chen Ao has finally died, it’s a pity I could not avenge myself."
The Baihua Palace Heavenly Person revealed a smile.
Among those attacking the Baihua Palace were participants from the Xuanming Sect.
Chen Ao was one of the three Heavenly People who besieged and hunted her.
If she hadn’t just happened to meet Xiao Wendao who was returning from Jade Capital and the Heavenly Person of the Imperial Family, chances were she would have been more likely to die than to survive.
....
Dawn broke.
Chen Bell Platform.
Li Qian stretched lazily, watching the red sun slowly rising in the distance.
Caw!
A hawk’s cry.
Little Black flew back from afar.
Its claws were still holding a prey.
It flew to a nearby tree and started to eat its breakfast.
Li Qian involuntarily glanced at the nearby hourglass, which was almost empty.
This Little Black had really become more punctual.
He then grabbed the bell hammer and with a light exertion of force, struck the Chen Bell strongly.
Dong Dong....
Two clear bell sounds spread out.
Li Qian bathed in the bell sounds, drew the Sword Eighteen, and started to practice the Heartless Sword Technique.
Heaven and Earth Essence Qi swiftly gathered around him.
The Primordial Stone held between his palms was also releasing Primordial Qi, absorbed by the Perfect Level Pure Holy Body, and rapidly transformed into True Qi.
Once one round of practice was complete, Li Qian’s expression was normal, but he was immensely overjoyed on the inside.
It couldn’t be denied; the Perfect Level Pure Holy Body’s help in the advancement of cultivation was simply too significant.
With the current pace, it was estimated that in a little over three months, he would break through to the mid-stage of the True Pill Realm.
He jumped down from the bell tower and walked into a wooden hut beside him.
Inside, the space wasn’t small, with many cages placed around, housing mice, wild chickens, rabbits, birds... even dragonflies, wasps...
These creatures, without exception, were all significantly larger than normal.
Of course, these were the ones that had survived.
As for those that hadn’t survived, who knows how many there were.
