Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 128, Return to the Clan

Tap tap tap...

The shock waves alone made Chu Ming and the other core disciples stagger back continuously, their bodies trembling unceasingly!

Swoosh!

A cyan figure darted forward, tapping the ground a few times, effortlessly catching Zuo Pengfei who was in mid-air. As the Spiritual Power surged, the elder immediately assessed the injuries on Zuo Pengfei’s body!

"Grand Elder, Pengfei’s injuries are severe. If we don’t leave now, it might be too late!"

The elder in green robes shouted anxiously while continuously channeling Spiritual Power into Zuo Pengfei’s body to sustain his fragile meridians.

"Damn it!"

Qian Mingyue already knew that Zuo Pengfei’s injuries were grave. Her eyes turned icy and she glared at Chu Ming fiercely, secretly remarking on Chu Ming’s deep scheming to force everyone to leave quickly!

"Let’s go!"

Qian Mingyue gestured lightly towards the sky, where the Golden Hook Demon Carver, engaged in battle with the Red Ling Demon Vulture, let out a high-pitched screech that shattered the skies. A terrifying yellow light beam burst forth from its mouth!

Boom!

The yellow light beam compressed continuously, absorbing all the Spiritual Power around, forming several whirlpools that revolved around it. The yellow light beam was immensely powerful, capable of injuring even the strongest True Dao martial artist!

However, the Red Ling Demon Vulture was not to be underestimated either. As a top-tier Sixth Level Demon Beast, a faint yet dazzling red light aura instantly condensed around it, forming a bright red light mass. With a slight flap of its wings, several air currents roared forth, colliding with the yellow light beam with destructive force!

Bang bang bang...

The yellow light beam and the red light mass clashed fiercely, intertwining constantly. The red and yellow lights exploded, resembling brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky!

Swoosh swoosh!

The two massive figures simultaneously retreated, causing gray air currents to surge as their wings flapped!

Swoosh!

Hearing Qian Mingyue’s call, the Golden Hook Demon Carver’s eyes closed briefly, then shot open like lightning, its body diving and stirring up countless wind waves and white mist as it descended swiftly towards the Cyan Nether Mountain’s team!

"Go!"

Qian Mingyue leaped onto the back of the Golden Hook Demon Carver, standing firm with Spiritual Power swirling around her long saber, ready for action!

An elder holding Zuo Pengfei’s body also leapt onto the Demon Carver’s back, not daring to delay for a moment. The other elders, full of vigilance, followed suit.

Looking at the Cyan Yang Sect members, Qian Mingyue’s eyes flashed with intense evil qi. Chu Ming was a hidden menace; if he grew stronger, the Great Yan Kingdom would not have a place for Cyan Nether Mountain. However, with Zuo Pengfei heavily injured, and even if the Cyan Nether Mountain members stayed, it wouldn’t be easy to kill Chu Ming under the eyes of the Cyan Yang Sect.

Perhaps, the final outcome would be Zuo Pengfei’s death without eliminating Chu Ming. This was a gamble Qian Mingyue dared not take.

Swoosh!

The Golden Hook Demon Carver’s eyes were cold as ice, like winter snow. A single glance could make one feel as if they were plunged into an ice cave!

Its wings fluttered lightly, causing powerful qi in the wind to form deep black holes in the loose sand beneath!

Watching the retreating figures of the Cyan Nether Mountain members, the Grand Elder Zhao Quanxuan of the Cyan Yang Sect took a deep breath and exchanged a look with the Fifth Elder, who then slightly blew the bone whistle towards the Red Ling Demon Vulture in the air!

The Red Ling Demon Vulture immediately dived, appearing before the Cyan Yang Sect members in a flash. The wind stirred by its wings created turbulent waves, making their robes flutter wildly!

Once everyone had mounted the back of the Red Ling Demon Vulture, it let out a high-pitched screech and ascended rapidly, piercing through the clouds and turning into a shadow!

"Chu Ming, you did the right thing this time. Not killing Zuo Pengfei avoided unimaginable consequences!"

As they entered the clouds, the white mist blurring their surroundings, the Grand Elder Zhao Quanxuan turned to Chu Ming, speaking with obvious relief in his eyes.

"Grand Elder flatters me!"

Chu Ming responded respectfully. He hadn’t actually lacked the strength to kill Zuo Pengfei at the time. He just held back at the crucial moment and did it just right.

If he had killed Zuo Pengfei immediately, the Grand Elder Qian Mingyue from Cyan Nether Mountain would have had no scruples, and in fear of the Cyan Yang Sect Leader’s wrath, they might have fought desperately. The result would have been heavy losses for the Cyan Yang Sect, even if not complete annihilation!

By severely injuring Zuo Pengfei, he forced the Cyan Nether Mountain elders to leave quickly to heal him, keeping them at bay!

The Red Ling Demon Vulture flew swiftly, and Chu Ming was worried that the Grand Elder would inquire about the events in the palace, but after a long flight with no questions, he slowly calmed down!

In fact, Chu Ming’s worries were unnecessary. Regarding the Celestial Flame Secret Realm’s gains, the sect generally followed a voluntary policy—if you chose to hand over your findings, the sect would exchange them for contribution points; if not, the sect wouldn’t force you.

If every core disciple had to hand over their gains from the Secret Realm, they would have no incentive to seek resources!

As the clouds sped by, having experienced the Celestial Flame Secret Realm, Chu Ming felt his mental realm had grown, making him fully adapt to the laws of the martial world!

...

A day later, on a towering peak extending into the clouds, countless white clouds floated around, resembling tigers, leopards, eagles, and cranes, presenting a scene of free leisure. The Red Ling Demon Vulture’s wings flapped, immediately shattering all the surrounding clouds as it slowly descended towards the peak below!

"Finally, we’re back at Cyan Yang Sect!"

"Yes, we finally made it back!"

"This journey was really not easy!"

On the back of the Red Ling Demon Vulture, all five core disciples, including Chu Ming, exclaimed with joy in their eyes, having survived, realizing that venturing into the Great Yan Kingdom’s martial world was just the beginning!

"You five, rest for a day and gather in front of Cyan Yang Hall tomorrow!"

Jumping off the Red Ling Demon Vulture’s back, Grand Elder Zhao Quanxuan instructed the five of them!

"Yes!"

Chu Ming and the other four nodded in agreement. As they descended, the wind scattered from their vision’s edges, a huge black shadow enveloping them. The Red Ling Demon Vulture ascended from the ground, flying back to a mountain peak, where the surrounding winds gradually calmed down!
