Chapter 1805: Chapter 1805: Xuanyuan Sword Versus Green Cloud Sword (3/4)

As an ancient top-tier aristocratic family that has survived over countless years.

It is natural for some to harbor rebellion, seeking greater resources and power—like Xuanyuan Zixi.

Similarly, there will always be those with profound family honor, willing to protect the family at any cost—like Xu Chen.

It is precisely because of such people that these ancient aristocratic families have persevered over centuries.

The Xu Family has such people.

The Xuanyuan Clan naturally has such people as well.

For instance, the ruins where Netherworld King and Mu Fusheng currently reside.

They were holding a voice transmission jade pendant and handed it to Xuanyuan Che to listen.

What came through the voice transmission jade pendant were naturally the confessions Xu Yeming had coerced from Xuanyuan Zixi.

After listening to it.

Mu Fusheng stored away the jade pendant, looked at Xuanyuan Che, and smiled, "How do you feel?"

Xuanyuan Che’s face was grim, and he remained silent.

Ji Yang, standing to the side, also showed a look of shock.

He hadn’t expected that both the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan harbored people plotting such things. No wonder the other top factions hadn’t shown much activity; all sorts of messes seemed to come from just the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan in recent times.

Xuanyuan Che spoke solemnly, "I will report this matter to the Family Master and leave it to him to decide."

Mu Fusheng, however, countered, "You could do that, but think carefully—what if the Xuanyuan Family Master happens to be the mastermind as well?"

Xuanyuan Che shook his head, "Impossible. The Family Master has presided over the Xuanyuan Clan for so many years, his Sword Dao has long been steadfast and is dedicated to protecting the family via the sword. Such a plot would undeniably cause massive upheaval to the Xuanyuan Clan.

If the Family Master were truly behind this, his Sword Dao would inevitably collapse, and the signs would be glaringly obvious."

Netherworld King nodded on the side, "That’s true."

Sword Dao is an extremely uncompromising path; it does not distinguish between good or evil, only adherence to one’s true heart and acting in accordance with it.

Should one’s future path deviate from that true heart, the Sword Dao would fail to advance... and in severe cases, may even completely disintegrate.

Mu Fusheng: "..."

Fine, fine, it’s clear I don’t understand the nuances of you sword cultivators.

"Given that, what will you do next?" Mu Fusheng asked.

Xuanyuan Che glanced at Netherworld King and Mu Fusheng before responding, "Your junior brother’s goal must be to clear his father’s name and avenge him, right? If that’s the case, then we should have a common enemy.

Perhaps we could work together? I will assist you in uncovering the mastermind and putting an end to them, achieving a mutual benefit. By then, the Family Master should also aid in clearing Xu Canghai’s name."

Furthermore, a collaboration would avoid outright confrontation with a monstrous sword cultivator like Netherworld King, which Xuanyuan Che very much desired.

Netherworld King and Mu Fusheng exchanged a glance and both smiled.

Perhaps those rebels never imagined.

That they could end up cooperating with the Guardians of the ruins and use the intelligence from the elder protecting the ruins to expose all the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan’s treachery, thus unraveling their rebellion plot.

After all, who in their right mind would do such a thing?

Xuanyuan Che also sighed inwardly in relief and then looked up at the Sun and Moon Token on the stone platform, saying, "Well then, shouldn’t we now contend for the Sun and Moon Token?"

Currently, the contenders were only him, Ji Yang, Netherworld King, and Mu Fusheng.

Netherworld King said, "I won’t need it. The Green Cloud Sword Master’s legacy already contains a Qingyun Order, and with it, I can enter the Core Land."

Ji Yang glanced at Mu Fusheng and decisively retreated a step.

He couldn’t beat Mu Fusheng previously, and while he had since broken through, Mu Fusheng had also progressed. Better to avoid embarrassing himself further.

Xuanyuan Che turned to Mu Fusheng.

Mu Fusheng thought for a moment, then directly retrieved hundreds of talismans and dozens of array scrolls from his interspatial ring, smiled, and said, "I don’t think fighting is necessary, but if you think it’s necessary, then go ahead and try."

Xuanyuan Che’s brow twitched.

Each of the hundreds of talismans had reached the Monarch God Realm in quality, and the array scrolls weren’t any easier to handle.

Seriously, are you this wealthy?

Carrying this many high-level talismans and array scrolls around on your travels?

And moreover... Netherworld King is his senior brother.

Surely, even for this Sun and Moon Token, Netherworld King would help Mu Fusheng obtain it.

It was safe to say Xuanyuan Che didn’t stand much of a chance.

Realizing this, Xuanyuan Che resigned himself internally, then turned to Netherworld King and said, "I won’t compete for the Sun and Moon Token. However... I would like to experience how much stronger your Sword Dao has become since your time at Cangxuan Academy."

Back at Cangxuan Academy, Xuanyuan Che had sparred with Netherworld King once.

At that time, Xuanyuan Che was at the Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation. Now, he had already broken through to the Sixth Level of Thunder Tribulation.

His Sword Dao realm had also advanced further.

But he was well aware that Netherworld King’s cultivation progress was even more terrifying.

Currently, Netherworld King had already reached the Fifth Level of Thunder Tribulation... and during recent trials, he had even slain several Early Monarch God Realm cultivators and one Middle Monarch God Realm cultivator.

Such astonishing combat prowess was far beyond anything Xuanyuan Che could aspire to.

Still... Xuanyuan Che wanted to test how far apart they were.

Netherworld King smiled, took a step forward, and said, "The Xuanyuan Sword should be with you, right? Why not let me see the Emperor’s Sword from your Xuanyuan Clan?"

Xuanyuan Che frowned, "The Xuanyuan Sword is indeed in my possession, but using a weapon to pressure you is not what I want to do."

Netherworld King took out the Green Cloud Sword without another word and looked at Xuanyuan Che. "Not going to use it?"

Xuanyuan Che’s mouth twitched.

The sword in Netherworld King’s hand, though its aura was restrained, emitted a faint trace of sword qi so domineering it felt as though his own Sword Dao was utterly suppressed.

Now Xuanyuan Che understood why Netherworld King had managed to slaughter several Monarch God Realm powerhouses before.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che obediently took out a longsword engraved with golden dragon patterns.

As the longsword was unsheathed, an imperial aura emanated from it, the Emperor’s Sword Intent reverberating in all directions!

Netherworld King felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, as though the Emperor’s Sword Intent was demanding him to kneel.

Netherworld King let out a cold snort as the Sword Dao Power of Law erupted outward, enveloping the area, and his Sword Domain emerged!

No other sword cultivator’s sword intent had ever been able to suppress him.

It was always his Sword Dao that dominated other sword cultivators!

As the Sword Domain unfolded, the Emperor’s Sword Intent pressing down on Netherworld King’s shoulders was knocked aside, the two forces stood at an impasse, neither able to overpower the other.

This was the first time Netherworld King encountered such a situation.

Though the other’s Sword Dao realm was weaker than his, their Sword Dao strangely resisted suppression from his Sword Domain.

It seemed the Xuanyuan Sword, hailed as the Emperor’s Sword, was not a hollow reputation.

Netherworld King slowly unsheathed the Green Cloud Sword, smiling inwardly.

However... in front of the Green Cloud Sword, this Emperor’s Sword still appeared inadequate...

The Green Cloud Sword emerged from its scabbard.

The primal essence of Sword Intent surged forth!

Xuanyuan Che’s face turned pale.

The Emperor’s Sword Intent was utterly suppressed!
