This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

In the historical development of the Nine Heavens, just how many cultivators with legendary talents perished before they could grow?

Such thoughts flitted through Lu Qingshan’s mind.

If all these cultivators with legendary talents had successfully grown into great powers, perhaps the human race wouldn’t have had such a hard time back then...

Mo Yan, who possessed a legendary talent, the peak-level skills of an Artifact Refiner, and equally extraordinary cultivation aptitude, was indeed a favored child of heaven. However, before this, Lu Qingshan had not heard of him.

This indicated one possibility: Mo Yan had most likely met an early demise, and the odds were that he had fallen at Jiaolong Island.

Could it be that, in the end, the Dragon-Slaying Saber did not slay the vile dragon?

Such a possibility suddenly occurred to Lu Qingshan. As he gazed at Mo Yan, a few traces of scrutiny emerged in his eyes.

Of course, Mo Yan was unaware of these intricacies. Clutching the gray seal, a trace of coldness flickered in his eyes. He said to everyone, "Next, we just wait for the snake to leave its hole."

...

Inside the Sea God Sect’s deliberation hall.

"The mark in the Cold Spirit Fire Seed has appeared once again and has stayed in the same place for quite some time. If I’m not mistaken, it should have reached its rightful owner by now." Having sensed the location of the mark, Real Person Han Bo opened his eyes, his voice hoarse.

That mark was left by him, and the plan to lure and kill Master Mo with the Cold Spirit Fire Seed was also his suggestion.

He was the head of the Sea God Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall. Eradicating external enemies was part of his duties, and his cultivation at the Golden Core Middle Stage also ranked him among the top five within the Sea God Sect.

"Shall we set out then?" Real Person Han Lang, who had received an urgent Spirit Message halfway and had hurried back to the sect to inform his fellow senior cultivators, spoke up.

"Yes, this time my Law Enforcement Hall will eradicate this disaster for the sect!" Real Person Han Bo’s gaze turned fierce as he swept it over the other three Golden Core cultivators in the hall and said sternly, "Han Lang, Han Qing, Han Yi, the three of you will depart with me. Today, we’ll let these petty people understand that the Sea God Sect is not to be trifled with!"

All cultivators of the Sea God Sect with the "Han" prefix were Golden Core cultivators.

Real Persons Han Lang, Han Qing, and Han Yi were all at the Golden Core Early Stage.

The Sea God Sect had a total of eleven Golden Core cultivators, and this time four were being dispatched, which could be considered a major operation. In Real Person Han Bo’s eyes, the success of this mission was almost certain.

To capture Master Mo alive, and perhaps follow the trail to uncover the secret of the Dragon-Slaying Saber, thereby eliminating it in one fell swoop.

This was the scheme planned by Real Person Han Bo. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Understood." The three Golden Core Early Stage cultivators responded in unison.

...

Four serene beams of blue light silently flashed out of the Sea God Sect’s deliberation hall, inconspicuously flying towards Jiaolong City.

However, in the dwelling of a core disciple of the Sea God Sect, a cultivator was staring fixedly at the deliberation hall.

When he saw the four blue lights shoot up from the Sea God Sect, he immediately took out a Spirit Plaque from his Storage Ring. Divine Sense probed into it, and with a flicker of light, a message was transmitted elsewhere.

"Four Spirit Snakes have been released."

...

Inside a separate courtyard, the Spirit Plaque hanging at Mo Yan’s waist suddenly stirred.

Mo Yan sent his Divine Sense into the Spirit Plaque to receive the message, then softly said, "The Sea God Sect’s cultivators are coming."

Hearing Mo Yan say this, the three Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators from Lian Cheng, Lian State, and Lian Jun swiftly rose to their feet, clenching their fists in anticipation and showing eager expressions. A very faint hint of bloodthirstiness even mixed within.

As for Lu Qingshan, he casually glanced at the Spirit Plaque Mo Yan had put away, a gleam of sharpness passing through his eyes.

It seemed that even the Sea God Sect had been infiltrated by the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Otherwise, how could Mo Yan be so well-informed about such a secret operation by the Sea God Sect?

Considering the depth of the three Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators and their penetration into the Sea God Sect, the foundation of the Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared to be extremely profound, not at all like a trivial mob.

...

Four streaks of blue light rapidly soared through the sky, hovering mid-air.

The four cultivators from the Sea God Sect had arrived.

"This is the place," said Han Bo, gazing down at the courtyard below with a harsh tone, "My mark has been here for quite a while now.

Han Bo released his Divine Sense without any restraint, scanning the courtyard below.

The presence of four Golden Core cultivators filled Han Bo with confidence.

"It seems I’ve made a fuss over a few Foundation Establishment cultivators," said Han Bo coldly after probing the courtyard with his Divine Sense, "However, among these Foundation Establishment cultivators, there must be one who is Master Mo. Given his status, he must know many secrets of the Dragon Slaying Saber."

"Capture him alive!" Han Bo commanded, then with the intimidating presence of a senior cultivator, he dashed toward the courtyard, his cold and arrogant voice booming, "Thinking of escaping? Did you obtain my permission to leave on the Sea God Sect’s territory?"

In his Divine Sense, he sensed that several Foundation Establishment cultivators were fleeing rapidly.

Han Bo didn’t hesitate and, with an attitude like a cat toying with a mouse, he charged into the courtyard.

The other three Golden Core cultivators followed closely behind.

Inside the courtyard.

Perceiving that the four Golden Core cultivators of the Sea God Sect had plunged into the courtyard, Mo Yan, who deliberately revealed his presence, sneered, "I’ve been waiting for you!"

Since Jiaolong City was built by the Sea God Sect, their sect gate was extremely close to the city, a mere step away for Golden Core cultivators.

Therefore, the core point of the plan to lure the snake out of its hole was just one word.

Quick!

It had to be swift enough

that the Sea God Sect hadn’t yet detected the disturbance here to come to their support before the battle was over.

Mo Yan opened his mouth and spit out a sparkling and translucent Spiritual Pearl that floated up in the air and radiated five-colored Radiance.

In the blink of an eye, the five-colored Radiance spread out, enveloping the entire courtyard.

"This magic artifact should last a moment. During this time, no movement can be detected from the outside, and no Spirit Messages will be transmitted," said Mo Yan in a chilling voice. "I’ll trouble the three seniors to take over from here."

"Rest assured, Master Mo, leave this place to us. We three have been waiting for our day of revenge for a long time!" Lian Cheng agreed, his eyes flashing with contempt, "If not for our fear of the Jiaolong Clan, we would have annihilated the Sea God Sect long ago; why would we have left them till now?"

"Do you think we need to escape?" Lian State sneered coldly, his voice carrying a killing intent that echoed throughout the courtyard.

As Mo Yan activated the Spiritual Pearl to raise the Radiance, the courtyard was sealed off. The Golden Core cultivators from the Sea God Sect would be trapped here for a short time. Thus, Lian State no longer held any reservation and openly mocked them.

Shriek! Shriek! Shriek!

The three Golden Core cultivators from the Dragon Slaying Saber, with a flick of their left hands, released colossal waves of water towards the Golden Core cultivators of the Sea God Sect.

The Sea God Sect, facing the mighty water waves, hurriedly summoned their own Magic Artifacts in defense.

"This is bad! The three Golden Core cultivators!" Han Bo’s expression changed. Just from this encounter, he had already sensed that something was amiss, "Call for reinforcement from the sect immediately!"

Whether it was the rising Radiance or the three Golden Core cultivators concealed within the courtyard with hidden auras, it was clear that not only had their plan failed, but they had actually fallen into an ambush and were trapped in a kill zone!

Boom!

A loud collision echoed through the air, scattering blue Spiritual Light.

The four Golden Core cultivators from the Sea God Sect managed to block the three water waves, but as the Spiritual Light faded, before their eyes stood Lian Cheng, Lian State, and Lian Jun, positioned in a triangular formation.

A faint glow encircled the three men, moving back and forth across their bodies as if one entity.

"A Combined Attack Formation!" Han Bo recognized the scene in an instant and, on seeing the identical figures and faces of the three men, his heart skipped a beat, "The Three Heroes of Lianyun Sect! You’re not dead!"
