Everyone remembers, after the tomb of the Shadowless Sword Emperor appeared, news of its disappearance spread throughout Shenmu Prefecture in an instant.
However, this news did not spread beyond Shenmu Prefecture. It was evident that someone had sealed the information, preventing it from getting out.
The first person to arrive at the Shadowless Sword Emperor's tomb and confirm its existence was Fan Mingzhong, which is why all the forces firmly believe this is indeed the tomb of the Shadowless Sword Emperor.
"Fan Mingzhong, what a character!"
The mid-stage Unity Realm expert from the Heavenly Sword Sect spoke harshly.
Wu Qian glanced at Wine-crazed, a look of displeasure in his eyes, but he did not argue with him.
Although Changlin Academy is in the Mingqian Realm, it is merely a branch of Changling Academy. As one of the Six Great Academies of the Changlang Continent, Changling Academy itself is a top power on the continent. Together with the Six Great Academies forming the Academy Alliance, it ranks among the Four Great Apex Powers. The Wu Family wouldn't dare provoke them.
Of course, if it were any of the other four powerful figures of Changlin Academy, or even the dean of Changlin Academy, Wu Qian would not be too concerned. The Wu Family is also a top power in the Mingqian Realm, albeit slightly weaker than Changlin Academy, but not by much.
However, Wine-crazed is the one exception. He absolutely does not dare provoke him. Not just in Shenmu Prefecture, but all major forces in the Mingqian Realm know that Wine-crazed came from Changling Main Court to the Changlin branch. Yet very few know why Wine-crazed came to the Changlin branch, and even fewer know his identity in Changling Main Court.
But Wu Qian is among the very few who knows Wine-crazed's identity, and that identity makes him deeply fearful!
Buzz buzz buzz!
At that moment, a powerful sword intent suddenly soared into the sky, slicing through the void and shattering the great dao pressure that Wu Qian intentionally exerted!
Rumble rumble!
A loud booming erupted, and the entire area of the Ten Miles Array sunk downward, causing the whole earth to tremble.
"Retreat quickly!"
A loud shout rang out.
Wine-crazed grabbed Jiang Chen and Yun Tao, his figure flickered as he swiftly retreated backward. People from all forces rapidly retreated as well.
After retreating nearly a thousand meters, everyone stopped, looking with astonishment at the area of the Ten Miles Array.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Dazzling rays of light burst forth from the center of the array, accompanied by countless imposing sword intents. A great dao pressure filled with violent aura spread out.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Streaks of sword intent rampaged through the Black Forest, causing large swathes of trees to collapse with a thunderous crash.
"This is... a Sword Killing Array!"
Wine-crazed's eyes revealed a tinge of shock. The violent aura filling the ten-mile radius made his heart palpitate. That feeling told him that if he were within that ten-mile radius, he would be instantly torn to shreds!
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a sword intent shot fiercely toward the crowd, aiming in the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Break it for me!"
The mid-stage Unity Realm elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect shouted loudly, exuding a massive dao pressure from his body. With a single hand wave, a dazzling flaming sword condensed instantly and fiercely stabbed toward the incoming sword intent.
Bang!
The large sword collided with the sword intent. The large sword was instantly shattered, transforming into a rain of fire that fell, yet the sword intent continued with unabated momentum, flying toward a group of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.
The elder's face changed dramatically, shouting, "Evade!"
Chen Zhenhua's expression shifted as he urgently carried Chen Jingxuan, flashing aside. Qin Chaolan pulled Lin Yuyan to dodge, and others soared into the sky.
Boom!
The sword intent struck the ground, unleashing a chaotic Qi force.
"Ah!"
"No!"
Screams echoed as several Refinement Realm and Divine Infant Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect who couldn't dodge in time were shredded to pieces by the violent Qi force, along with people near Heavenly Sword Sect from Wuyou Island.
Jiang Chen, pulled into the air by Wine-crazed, quickly looked toward the direction where the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples had retreated. Seeing Zhang Sanfeng, Lin Yuyan, and Chen Jingxuan unharmed, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After approximately a quarter of an hour, the rampant sword intent gradually dissipated. The entire Black Forest was now battered and withered, not a single whole tree in sight.
That teacher's killing move... isn't it too fierce?
Seeing the square mile forest below instantly annihilated, Jiang Chen felt a surge of dread in his heart.
"Elder Wu, is your Wu Family intending to bury us all here?"
The elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect roared in anger.
Unity Realm experts from all forces glared at Wu Qian with blazing anger in their eyes.
"I don't know what's happening either!"
Wu Qian's face grew incredibly grim, shouting angrily as he stared fixedly at where the tomb was originally located.
Now, there's no sign of the tomb, no trace of the monument, just a ten-mile-wide pit. The ground beside the pit was cracked, extending beyond the Black Forest.
People from all forces furrowed their brows tightly, looking at Wu Qian with difficult expressions. At this moment, no one truly believed Wu Qian didn't know what had changed with the tomb!
"Everyone, we truly don't know. Wu Zhen is still inside the tomb. If we knew, how could we let him remain in there?"
Wu Youliang spoke awkwardly.
If they had achieved their goal, they could shoulder this blame. But they not only failed to achieve it and instead lost their young family head. How could they willingly bear this blame and invoke the wrath of the great forces?
Swoosh!
Wu Qian's figure flashed, rushing straight to where the monument used to be.
Due to the eruption of the sword intent, the array that covered ten miles had disappeared.
Swish swish swish!
Faces changed among the people from various forces. Unity Realm experts all flew over.
Wine-crazed also wanted to go over, but as he moved, Jiang Chen tugged at him.
Turning to look at Jiang Chen, Wine-crazed's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
Jiang Chen gently shook his head.
Wine-crazed's expression changed, glancing at the pit area but not approaching.
Though he didn't know why Jiang Chen had stopped him, he trusted Jiang Chen had a reason to do so.
After a while, Wu Qian and the other Unity Realm experts returned before everyone, their faces dark.
"Grandfather, how is it? Did you find anything?"
Wu Youliang asked anxiously, looking at Wu Qian.
People from the various forces also turned their attention to their own Unity Realm experts, guessing what they went to find.
"No! There's nothing left! It's completely become ruins!"
Wu Qian shook his head heavily, his face somber.
"Nothing left?"
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, mumbling lightly, "Then did Wu Zhen die? Didn't he know about things within the tomb? In the illusion array passage, he could suddenly appear in other chambers."
The scene was extremely quiet, everyone still trapped in the shock of the array's eruption and the regret of the tomb becoming ruins. Suddenly hearing Jiang Chen's mumble, people from all forces looked up at Jiang Chen.
A trace of doubt flashed in everyone's eyes.
