Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 313: The Eight Sects of Xuan Country
Wu Cang was a martial artist at the peak of the Condensation Realm, and the ease with which Li Xiaoyao subdued him meant that his cultivation level must have already surpassed his.
More powerful than a martial artist at the peak of the Condensation Realm, could it be the Abstinence Realm?
Li Xiaoyao easily pinched Wu Cang’s fist, and with a slight exertion of his wrist, a series of "crack" sounds were heard as Wu Cang’s arm was bent into an extremely eerie arc.
"Ah!"
A miserable scream came from Wu Cang’s mouth as Li Xiaoyao raised his right hand, and the blade of the sword chopped down towards his arm.
"Swoosh!"
With one stroke of icy light, Wu Cang’s arm was severed at the root, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Li Xiaoyao’s hand didn’t stop, blade flashes followed one after another, and all people could see were the flashes of cold light with Wu Cang’s continuous screams.
In just a few seconds, Li Xiaoyao had swung dozens of swords.
With the last sword swung, the Seven Star Ancient Sword was returned to its scabbard.
The miserable screams coming from Wu Cang had already stopped, only to see him kneel on the ground with his legs bent, his eyes wide open.
The space was silent, everyone looked at Wu Cang with eyes filled with fear.
The next second, Wu Cang’s body abruptly fell apart into chunks of flesh that dropped to the ground.
"Ah!"
Everyone was stunned by this scene, Li Xiaoyao had killed Wu Cang in such a cruel way.
Moreover, Wu Cang didn’t even have a trace of resistance, which was truly terrifying.
After killing Wu Cang, Li Xiaoyao turned to look at the equally shocked Lin Xiu and another, his voice cold, "Do you still want this sword?"
Lin Xiu’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his lips trembling slightly, "No... I don’t want it anymore."
Li Xiaoyao gave him a cold glance and pointed at the pile of flesh on the ground, "You should feel lucky to have the surname Lin, otherwise, you would have ended up like him."
Turning to face Jiang Lichun and the others, he asked, "When are we going to the ancient tomb?"
"Are you always this heavy-handed, kid?" Jiang Lichun smiled and said, "Let’s rest for a bit before we discuss when we’ll go."
A few of them found an open area and sat down on the ground.
Their ways of resting varied. Feng Xinran’s method of relaxing was listening to music; she took out her phone at this time, put on her headphones, closed her eyes, and rocked her head back and forth against the tree, looking thoroughly content.
Yu Shenghe and Qi Tianning were sitting cross-legged, breathing in and absorbing spiritual energy as their way of resting.
The others not far away, after witnessing the terrifying method of Li Xiaoyao killing Wu Cang with a single sword, even lowered their voices when they spoke.
On the Lin Family’s side, Lin Xiu whispered, "That person’s strength is unfathomable; we need to leave here as soon as possible."
Lin Changfu, looking worried, said, "What about the ancient tomb?"
"We’ll go back first. I will inform the master about the matter of the ancient tomb, and they will handle it," Lin Qingxuan also felt that Li Xiaoyao was dangerously unpredictable and that it was not appropriate to stay here for long.
With some reluctance, Lin Changfu ultimately sighed and left with the other two.
Lin Changfu had thought that today he might be able to kill Li Xiaoyao and vent his frustration, but unexpectedly, the boy’s cultivation was so terrifying that even the two most talented individuals of the Lin Family were no match for him.
With his hopes dashed, he could only pin all his expectations on the Seven Swords Sect.
Only the three people from the Lin Family left, while the rest were unwilling to depart.
They had realized that each of the five people with Li Xiaoyao was a master, and each one’s cultivation level was at least at the Abstinence Realm.
Perhaps, they could kill the Fire Serpent.
If they could indeed kill the Fire Serpent, they might still have a chance to follow them and get a share of the spoils. Your next chapter awaits on novelbuddy
After all, the ancient tomb’s cave dwelling was so extensive, it was impossible for them to completely prevent others from entering.
...
After the three left, Lin Xiu immediately took out a satellite phone and called his master.
Now the fastest method was to inform his master about this matter over the phone, and then have the Seven Swords Sect send people right away.
Otherwise, by the time they actually returned to report in person, the ancient tomb’s cave dwelling would have likely already been emptied out.
An important guest from the Li Family of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country had arrived at the Seven Swords Sect that day.
The Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, also known as the Eight Great Families, were the most ancient and powerful among all sect families in the country.
The Seven Swords Sect, albeit not weak in Lu Province and ranked among the top ten, was as different from the Xuan Country Li Family as an elephant is from an ant.
The Li Family had visited the Seven Swords Sect today because the Seven Swords Sect had discovered a vein of spirit stones.
A normal family, upon discovering a spirit stone vein, would certainly not advertise it.
Yet the Seven Swords Sect attempted to establish a connection with the Li Family through the spirit stone vein.
In the eyes of the Seven Swords Sect, a spirit stone vein, although precious, was utterly insignificant if it could earn them the favor of the Li Family.
The Seven Swords Sect was currently ranked seventh in Lu Province and had always wanted to move up the rankings to become the number one. However, it would likely be difficult to achieve this ambition relying on the Seven Swords Sect alone.
If they could establish a connection with the Xuan Country Li Family, then perhaps this dream of the Seven Swords Sect was not so far-fetched after all.
"Mr. Li, have a taste of our tea. This is a special blend cultivated by our Seven Swords Sect," said Sect Leader Fang Han, who appeared to be in his thirties but was, in actuality, over sixty years old.
The man representing the Li Family, named Li Zhong, appeared to be around the same age as Fang Han, but was in fact over fifty years old.

Li Zhong had a sip of the tea and after exchanging a few pleasantries with Fang Han, he got down to business.
"How large is the scale of the spirit stone vein?"
Fang Han stretched out a palm: "Five kilometers."
Li Zhong was somewhat surprised; a five-kilometer spirit stone vein was quite significant.
As science and technology advanced, the natural resources on Earth were becoming increasingly scarce.
In the past few hundred years, when Earth was rich with spiritual energy and had more spirit stone veins, the planet looked very different.
In just a few hundred years, Earth had changed into its current state.
"Hmm, not bad." Li Zhong nodded, showing satisfaction with the spirit stones.
Just as Fang Han was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang.
His phone number was known to very few people. As he glanced at the screen, his brows furrowed slightly, and just as he was about to hang up, Li Zhong beside him said, "Sect Leader Fang, please attend to your matters first. Don’t mind me."
"My apologies." With a smile of regret, Fang Han answered the call.
"What’s the matter?"
The call connected and Lin Xiu let out a long sigh before quickly saying, "Master, I’ve discovered an ancient tomb’s cave dwelling of a cultivator in Ling City!"
"What?" Fang Han’s heart leaped with joy, momentarily unable to control his emotion.
Indeed, any cultivator’s ancient tomb was bound to house treasures; this was an undeniable certainty.
Lin Xiu briefly explained the situation, mentioning that many cultivators, including some with powerful cultivation levels, had gathered outside the dwelling.
"Good, you and Qingxuan have done very well. Wait there for your teacher; I will come immediately." After hanging up, Fang Han turned to Li Zhong, who was blowing on his teacup, and said, "Mr. Li, my disciples have discovered an ancient tomb’s cave dwelling of a cultivator in Ling City. Would you be interested in taking a look?"
"Oh? A cultivator’s ancient tomb?" Li Zhong’s eyes lit up and he said, "Since Sect Leader Fang has mentioned it, let’s go take a look."
