Chapter 138: The Disaster After Removing the Sword

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Zhenshi narrowed his eyes instantly when he saw a carriage flying across the sky! He was furious!

The events happening in the Main Path Mausoleum flashed across his eyes. He could see all the stone tablets started to crack and he could feel the fading essence of the spiritual sense.

The abundant resources that were reserved for the Main Path Guild disciples were being taken by the sword!

Zhao Zhenshi shuddered in fear. A chill ran down his spine and spread to his entire body.

He was not a fool. The moment the stone tablet cracked, he knew that it was because Fang Lang had removed the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

This must be Xuanyuan Taihua’s plan all along by planting the sword in the Main Path Mausoleum!

This sword had been absorbing all the essence and inheritance that the ancestors left for the disciples of the Main Path Guild!

It had absorbed a thousand years of worth of reserve!

Zhao Zhenshi was furious.

“You want to leave? Leave the sword behind!” he bellowed.

He would never let Fang Lang leave with the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

Since the sect leader, Zhao Longshi was absent. He was left in charge of the Main Path Guild. No one had seen this coming.

The Main Path Guild experienced such a major upheaval under his control?

He would be the one bearing all the responsibility!

Zhao Zhenshi even suspected that the sect leader might have foreseen this and made up excuses to leave so that he would take the blame!

He refused to take the fall for this!

Zhao Zhenshi rotated both his arms to roll up the bulky sleeves and raised his hand in a swift movement.

An overbearing surge of spiritual sense poured out between his eyebrows, like a hurricane that ravaged the entire Main Path Guild!

Boom!

The runes at the base of Mount Tongtian were activated one after another, gathering into a brilliant light that shot from the ground and lit up the night sky.

Main Path Guild’s great shield rune!

This was a top-grade rune, a protection rune at the level of a forbidden spell!

Zhao Zhenshi’s robe billowed in the air and his eyes burned brightly as he stood on the top of the Thousand Cloud Stairs.

“Where are the other Main Path Guild disciples? Cast the rune!” Zhao Zhenshi yelled.

His thunderous voice ripped through the night sky. All the disciples of the Main Path Guild sobered up.

‘What happened?’

‘Is the vice leader going to fight Fang Lang because he felt humiliated?’

‘Is this because Fang Lang removed the Reincarnating Lotus Sword and he wants to stop them from leaving?’

However, the disciples did not ponder for long. After all, the vice leader had given the orders and as disciples, they would need to execute it.

At the base of the mountain, the blue-robed disciples sat down cross-legged, gesturing both hands as spiritual sense expelled between their eyebrows.

A swarm of spiritual senses charged towards the sky like fireworks, where they exploded and merged, weaving into a massive net with Zhao Zhenshi’s light veil.

The entire Mount Tongtian was enveloped by a veil of light shaped like a dome!

The horses neighed and sped up.

Fang Lang and the others inside the carriage had their backs pressed into the seats due to the acceleration.

Huang Zhihe looked at Fang Lang with a serious expression.

What’s going on?”

It puzzled Huang Zhihe since Fang Lang removed the sword within the given rules. No matter how angry Zhao Zhenshi felt, he should not have overreacted.

He even used the Mountain Shield Forbidden Spell Rune.

Fang Lang checked the Reincarnating Lotus Sword and noticed that the crack was only sealed by half.

He frowned and thought, ‘It shouldn’t be. How did Zhao Zhenshi notice them in the Main Path Mausoleum?’

He slowly let out a breath and told Huang Zhihe about the Reincarnating Lotus Sword’s influence on the Main Path Mausoleum.

Huang Zhihe’s face started twitching and flushed red when he heard Fang Lang.

After a long pause, he exclaimed, “Incredible! Only Taihua has such audacity to pull this off!”

Huang Zhihe raised his hand, and a steel hammer appeared from his palm. His eyes were deep and dark as his croaky voice echoed inside the carriage.

“The first five great sects of the Tang Dynasty were formed more than a thousand years ago. All five sects are incredibly strong and powerful. Before the Tang Dynasty, the world was split into eight dynasties. Each dynasty would have a sect in power that controls the rights of the people, which caused a lot of conflicts. You also know that the sects belong in the world while the Imperial Court is a temple. Nothing good will ever come out of it by mixing them together. Later on, the Emperor started an uprising that conquered the eight dynasties and standardized all of the sects.

“However, he still doesn’t have a plan to sort the great sects like Main Path Guild, Meridian Guild and All-Seeing Buddha Sect. He also dare not act rashly as there might be someone that had transcended the ninth-grade and entered the transcendental realm! Do you know why Xuanyuan Taihua was able to rise in power? That’s because she had the support of the Emperor, which gave the Sword Guild the honor of being the First Guild in the world.” Huang Zhihe explained.

Fang Lang narrowed his eyes, “How is it related to the Reincarnating Lotus Sword being lodged in the Main Path Guild by master?”

Huang Zhihe shook his head and answered, “I’m not too sure about that, but... it seems like it’s a ploy to test the presence of a ninth-grade transcendence in the Main Path Guild.”

Huang Zhihe rubbed on the steel hammer in his hand.

Fang Lang stared at the Reincarnating Lotus Sword lying across his thighs as he fell into deep thought.

Perhaps, the source of energy from the 360 stone tablets that the Reincarnating Lotus Sword absorbed was related to the Main Path Guild’s transcendence?

Was it possible that the reason Zhao Zhenshi discovered them was that the dormant transcendental presence in the Main Path Mausoleum had awoken and notified him?

Boom!

The carriage halted suddenly and fell onto the mountain road.

Zhao Wuji’s voice sounded from outside the coach, “The path is blocked. The Main Path Guild activated the Mountain Shield Rune and we can’t get past it.”

...

In Mount Donglin of the Donglu’s Sword League, Chao Xiaojian stood in front of the demon portal entrance.

Both his hands were on his back, his white robe fluttered in the air. He looked at the direction of the Main Path Guild and saw a bright light gleaming in the night sky, piercing through the layers of rain clouds above it.

“Main Path Guild’s Mountain Shield Rune... Fang Lang must’ve removed the sword successfully. Why did the sect leader plant the Reincarnating Sword in the Main Path Mausoleum? Perhaps we’ll know by tonight.” Chao Xiaojian let out a breath gradually.

He raised his hand and the green steel sword that was standing on the peak of Mount Donglin flew into his hand at an incredible speed.

He took a step forward and his entire body was circulating in blade energy.

Suddenly, he charged into the sea of clouds like a white dragon.

...

Changan was covered in darkness as the night deepened. Inside a deserted courtyard of the Martial Art King Manor, Princess Pei Shi opened the doors with a red sandalwood food container in her arms.

Under the twinkling starlight, a muscular figure was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, his hair disheveled.

Princess Pei Shi walked towards him slowly, “Dear.”

Martial Arts King Jiang turned to glance at Princess Pei Shi, his wavering eyes gradually softened.

The couple stared at each other in silence.

Princess Pei Shi took out the steaming dishes from the food container and a bottle of wine.

“Ling’er went to learn sword fighting with her sister. She won’t be coming back until she has mastered the Four Seasons Form. Pei Liao is investigating the third prince’s escape from the Cold Palace. It was rumored that the third prince escaped to the western region to join Asi Luoshan’s army. Asi Luoshan’s army is growing stronger and they’re coming to us in full force,” Princess Pei Shi stated.

“You don’t need to worry about this as long as I’m here,” Martial Arts king Jiang said slowly with a dignified tone.

Princess Pei Shi chuckled and sat down beside him. She lifted her hand to touch him but she stopped mid-way as she felt the vast distance between them.

“Little Fang went to the Main Path Guild to retrieve the sword Taihua left there. It had been decades since she left it there. Being the person she is, I don’t think she left it there as a souvenir, don’t you think?” Princess Pei Shi asked.

Martial Arts King Jiang gulped a mouthful of alcohol without answering.

His gaze deepened as he looked towards the direction of the Main Path Guild.

...

The carriage stopped on the limestone path.

Zhao Zhenshi watched them from the top of the Thousand Cloud Stairs.

Suddenly, he raised his hand swiftly.

Endless cloud energy started to emerge beneath the carriage and transformed into the palm of a deity that upheaved the entire carriage from the ground.

The entire Main Path Guild seemed to be enveloped by cloud energy as if it took the form of a deity that was overlooking the carriage.

“Fang Lang, you may leave if you return the Reincarnating Lotus Sword!” Zhao Zhenshi said. His voice echoed through the valley and reached into their souls.

“The Reincarnating Lotus Sword completely absorbed a thousand years of experience from the Main Path Guild. How dare you leave with it!”

Right after Zhao Zhenshi finished speaking, he flipped his palm around and the cloud that was holding the carriage overturned and started crushing them to the ground.

There was a scoff from the inside of the coach.

The next moment, a blade light shot up to the sky and sliced the cloud into half!

The carriage started soaring upwards. Zhao Wuji maneuvered the coach so that it was hovering in the air.

Inside the carriage, Huang Zhihe stood at the end of the carriage with a steel hammer in his hand. As he laughed, he tossed the hammer into the air and it exploded instantly like fireworks. The sparks from the explosion contained countless small blades that were infused with blade energy.

Hammer of Ten Thousand Hidden Blades!

“Ni Wen, let’s see how much you can understand from this move of mine.” A smile formed on Huang Zhihe’s wrinkly face.

He waved his hand and both his palms started moving in a circular motion as if he was stirring water in a tank to create whirlpools.

The 10,000 blades from the hammer formed a rune and created a massive hammer out of blade energy in the air!

Zhao Zhenshi stood within the clouds. His robe fluttered in the wind and stuck tightly to his body. He glared at the blade energy hammer and shrieked, “Old Huang! You’re seeking your own demise!”

“Xuanyuan Taihua’s sword robbed the Main Path Guild of a thousand years worth of reserve! I won’t allow him to take it away! If you try to stop me, you’ll be declaring war with the Main Path Guild and I will kill you! You’re not related to the Sword Guild, why should you die for Fang Lang?” Zhao Zhenshi bellowed.

Countless blue-robed disciples behind him yelled and changed their gestures, feeding the energy around Zhao Zhenshi.

Huang Zhihe burst out laughing, “You know nothing! Hit it!”

He refused to waste any more words on this. He made a claw gesture with his hand and raked the air. The hammer recoiled backward and pounded on the dome of light!

Boom!

Hammer Blade Lord, Blade Hammer!

The blade hammer formed by countless small swords plummeted on the dome of light. The dome of light shook violently for a few seconds before it shattered into pieces!

The impact was as strong as a giant rock thrown into a resting lake.

Inside the carriage, Fang Lang laid the Reincarnating Lotus Sword on his thigh. He frowned as he stared at it. However, he was not paying much attention to the battle outside because he discovered a faint heartbeat inside the sword.

Fang Lang raised his head and looked towards the Main Path Mausoleum.

The heartbeat of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword seemed to be originating from the Main Path Mausoleum.

In a daze, Fang Lang could feel a pair of eyes in the Main Path Mausoleum staring at him through space and time.
