"Killed Level 15 creature, experience +1108!"
...
[Life Level: 17 (2405/7000)]
...
Li Chunjun looked at the Scarlet Gold Sword in his hand.
He knew this sword was extraordinary.
Not long ago, in the outskirts of the Chiyang Mountain Range, he had been able to successfully kill Mao Ying, a Body Refinement Cultivator who had achieved the harmony of the Five Elements at the fifth level of Qi Refining, relying on the advantage of this divine weapon.
Mao Ying's powerful physique was like paper before the Scarlet Gold Sword, collapsing with a single strike.
If not for the sword's sharpness, facing one cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, one at the fifth level, and thirty cultivators at the second and third levels all at once, he would have inevitably been drawn into a bloody battle.
Of course, he had indeed gone through a life-and-death struggle in the end, only then achieving complete victory.
It was just that his life level had risen from level 16 to level 17, his condition fully recovered, and now he appeared completely unscathed.
But the fact that this treasured sword was of such high grade still surprised him somewhat.
A top-grade Magical Artifact.
And a top-grade flying sword Magical Artifact known for its sharpness.
Without this Magical Artifact sword, An Yuan might have really escaped from the office relying on his orb Magical Artifact.
That would have led to even greater slaughter.
Thinking of the orb...
Li Chunjun stepped forward calmly and picked up this Magical Artifact.
Sword cultivators are unparalleled in killing, believing that offense is the best defense.
But, what's wrong with adding one more layer of protection for oneself?
Hearing the commotion outside due to the noise from the house, Li Chunjun did not delay.
He left the deputy academy master's room and headed towards the academy master's room.
Judging from the deputy academy master's arrogant and overbearing demeanor earlier, he had never imagined that one day someone would dare to come to the foot of the Chiyang Sword Sect, to the Chiyang Dao Academy, and kill him.
Therefore, he had no idea what fear was.
So much so that when he saw Li Chunjun, he still dared to arrogantly rebuke him.
If the deputy academy master was like this, the academy master must be the same.
Might as well go all the way and kill the academy master too.
Completely end the ruling class of the Chiyang Southeast Dao Academy.
Then, focus on dealing with the Hall of Justice of the Chiyang Sword Sect.
At this moment, even Li Chunjun himself was unaware that at the moment of completing his revenge, a tendency towards slaughter had already been brewing in his heart.
Influenced by this, he gradually returned to the Chiyang Dao Academy in this irrational but fastest way to achieve his goal.
This goal... was Immortality!
...
A hundred kilometers away from the Chiyang Mountain Range.
In the forest where the bodies of Ran Renxiong, Mao Ying, and over thirty others lay.
A sword light pierced through the sky and landed in the forest.
He held a jade token in his hand, examined it for a moment, and soon came to the many bodies in the forest.
He inspected each body one by one.
To be precise, he inspected the wounds on these bodies.
When he saw those wounds that were so black they seemed to have been scorched by flames, joy already appeared in his eyes.
When he then brought the jade token close to the wounds and extracted traces of residual Profound Phoenix Sword Qi from them, the figure could no longer contain his joy.
"Good! Good! Good! This is truly great! The Flaming Phoenix bloodline, finally found! The Flaming Phoenix lineage has a new Flaming Phoenix Sword Cultivator!"
The man felt the residual scorching marks on the wounds as if he had found a treasure.
He had finally found it!
Since someone from the Flaming Phoenix lineage sensed the appearance of the Undying Flaming Phoenix ten days ago, realizing that a new Flaming Phoenix power had been activated, he had taken the Flaming Phoenix Blood Token and headed towards the sensed location at the fastest speed.
Traveling day and night, flying ten thousand miles by sword.
However, when he arrived at the location, it had already turned into ashes.
Almost all traces had been wiped out by the flames.
In a rage, he swung his sword and leveled the mountain at the sensed location.
Fortunately, heaven never seals off all exits.
Whether it was because the Flaming Phoenix Blood Token had memorized the aura in the ashes or for some other reason, not long ago it had captured a faint trace of aura again.
It seemed...
The Flaming Phoenix bloodline was still alive.
Overjoyed, he followed this faint trace all the way, and finally, in this forest, he sensed the Profound Phoenix Sword Qi again.
There really was a Flaming Phoenix bloodline!
What was even more incredible was that he had actually cultivated the Profound Phoenix Devouring Sun Sword Qi, surviving the most difficult hurdle for all Flaming Phoenix bloodline possessors to become sword cultivators!
Unbelievable!
"Even with the Flaming Phoenix bloodline, cultivating the Profound Phoenix Devouring Sun Sword Qi is extremely perilous, let alone cultivating the sword Qi without guidance and without Great Sun Essence Gold! What kind of Flaming Phoenix Sword Cultivator is this!? This is clearly the future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy of our Taixu Sword Sect!"
The man's eyes filled with surprise and joy.
Looking at the wounds on these bodies, he even saw an indescribable beauty.
Look at the charring caused by the high temperature.
Look at the smoothness at the edges of the wounds.
Look at the time of death indicated by the corpses hinting at the efficiency of the slaughter...
Good! Good! Good!
"Truly worthy of being the future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy of our Taixu Sword Sect."
He eagerly took out the jade token again, carefully observing and sensing it.
After a while, he seemed to sense something, his gaze turning towards the mountain range ahead.
"Is that... the Chiyang Sword Sect!?"
The future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy of our Taixu Sword Sect has gone to the Chiyang Sword Sect!?
"Wait!"
The man thought of the tokens he had found on these bodies during his inspection.
"These people are enforcers of the Chiyang Southeast Dao Academy. The future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy of our Taixu Sword Sect killed the enforcers of the Chiyang Southeast Dao Academy!?"
Since he killed these people, it's clear he's not aligned with the Chiyang Sword Sect.
This matched the information he had.
After all, if it were truly the Flaming Phoenix bloodline, the Chiyang Sword Sect would have long hidden and tightly guarded it. The first place he sensed it wouldn't have been outside the Chiyang Sword Sect.
"So, he's now in the Chiyang Mountain Range... captured by the Chiyang Sword Sect?"
At this thought, a terrifying killing intent burst forth in the man's eyes.
"How dare they!? The Chiyang Sword Sect has some nerve! How dare they capture the future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy of our Taixu Sword Sect!? I, Qin Zhou, will not stand for it!"
He abruptly looked up towards Chiyang Mountain, his sword Qi soaring: "It seems the Chiyang Sword Sect doesn't want to stay on Earth anymore!"
But then, he realized something.
His gaze returned to the pile of bodies.
It didn't seem like it.
If their future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy had really been captured by the Chiyang Sword Sect, the people of this Dao Academy wouldn't have left the bodies of their own enforcers uncollected.
The current situation...
It seemed more like their future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy had killed the people of the Chiyang Sword Sect's Dao Academy and, still unsatisfied, intended to go to that Dao Academy for a massacre?
"Hahaha! Good! Well done! Daring to fight and kill! This is the style of our Taixu Sword Sect's future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy!"
But...
Going alone to the Chiyang Sword Sect is ultimately dangerous.
For a sword cultivator, having the will to advance and an invincible heart is not a bad thing.
But the future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy should not easily take risks before mastering sword techniques.
Moreover...
It seems that their future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy has a significant conflict with the Chiyang Sword Sect, so much so that he's willing to take great risks to return to the Chiyang Sword Sect to avenge his disgrace. For the Taixu Sword Sect, this is an excellent opportunity!
As long as the Taixu Sword Sect can vent this anger for their future Flaming Phoenix Sword Prodigy, what's to stop him from sincerely accepting and joining the Taixu Sword Sect!?
"Chiyang Sword Sect, you've signed your own death warrant!"
