Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 228 - 179: A Worthy Death

Chu Yuanfeng also had a face full of suspicion.

Logically, this Sword Heart test shouldn't be much of a challenge for someone like Wen'an, a genius in the Sword Dao.

Why has he been inside for several days without coming out?

As several people were wondering, a streak of sword light suddenly flew up from the foot of the mountain. The sword light landed in front of Chu Yuanfeng, transforming into a young girl in purple robes.

"Senior Brothers, something major has happened in the western part of Qishan in Danzhou!"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, and Chu Yuanfeng smiled as he spoke, "What news has Junior Sister Qiao uncovered now?"

The girl in purple robes excitedly broke the news, "Yesterday, a young man attacked Hundred Beasts Mountain within Qishan, using a very peculiar method to summon a giant peak that directly blasted open the Mountain Protection Array of Hundred Beasts Mountain!"

"He then waved his hand in the air and wrote thousands of 'Sword' characters. Can you guess what happened next?"

As the girl in purple spoke animatedly, Chu Yuanfeng and his party listened in bewilderment.

The girl in purple was obviously not a master storyteller. Without waiting for their curiosity to be fully piqued, she couldn't help but continue, "Those characters actually transformed into a sky full of Flying Swords, even more than those summoned by Master's Myriad Swords Return to the Sect!"

"They bombarded Hundred Beasts Mountain relentlessly. It's unknown how many disciples of Hundred Beasts Mountain died under his swords!"

Chu Yuanfeng frowned deeply, while the expressions of those around him were aghast.

To control so many Flying Swords or Sword Qi in battle, this must be a Sword Cultivator.

In the land of Danzhou, besides Cyan Ruo Sword House, is there such a formidable Sword Cultivator?

Could it be a Sword Cultivator from somewhere else that crossed vast distances?

But Hundred Beasts Mountain is just a Lower Grade Immortal Sect, tucked away within Qishan. How could it provoke such a terrifying presence?

"And then what happened?"

"Doesn't Hundred Beasts Mountain have a Fake Pill Realm Old Ape?"

Chu Yuanfeng asked.

The girl in purple nodded before continuing, "That Old Ape was injured previously in Qishan, during a fierce battle with Senior Sister Lingshan and that ferocious bird."

"There's no way its injuries have fully healed now."

"Even when the mountain gate was attacked, and the array was broken, it didn't dare to show itself."

"But later on, it was forced out by that young man's Myriad Swords, and the two had a fierce battle."

"Was the Old Ape killed?" a young man beside Chu Yuanfeng hastily asked.

The girl in purple shook her head.

"No one knows whether the young man was injured or what happened, but although he shattered the Old Ape's body, he suddenly faltered." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"I heard that the young man stood arrogantly above Hundred Beasts Mountain in front of countless cultivators, laughing maniacally and shouting 'Can the Literary Dao fight?' Then his body and everything else transformed into a burning monster, slowly dissipating within the mountain gate of Hundred Beasts Mountain."

"It's said that creature looked quite like Bai Ze, which appeared over East Screen Mountain some time ago. But it's uncertain whether that's true."

As the girl in purple spoke, her emotions visibly sank.

It seemed she was lamenting the fall of a mighty figure.

Bai Ze!

Chu Yuanfeng was initially stunned, then suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the Sword Inquiry Cave behind him!

The news released from Tingfeng Valley was naturally known to Cyan Ruo Sword House.

He had actually already figured out the reason why Wen'an came to Cyan Ruo Sword House, so eager to meet Senior Sister Lingshan Sword Immortal.

Now, after hearing the girl in purple's account, he immediately realized that the young man who attacked Hundred Beasts Mountain and ultimately perished there was very likely Wen'an's elder brother, the "Second Young Master of the Shen Family" that half of Danzhou's cultivators were searching for.

At this moment, Chu Yuanfeng roughly understood why Wen'an hadn't been able to pass the Sword Heart test for such a long time in the Sword Inquiry Cave.

The Sword Heart is pure, and if one's mind is occupied with other thoughts during the inquiry, then in this Sword Inquiry Cave, what one faces is not just the purest Sword Intent, but a complex formed by countless Sword Intents of past Sword Cultivators and the Heart Demons of the inquirer.

Wen'an's talent in the Sword Dao is already strong. In this inquiry, he faces another self along with the Sword Intents of numerous Sword Cultivators from Cyan Ruo Sword House—an immensely powerful adversary. Quickly breaking through is not so easy.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanfeng felt a complex mixture of emotions.

He suspected that Wen'an came to Danzhou to save his elder brother, to save the Shen Family.

But now his elder brother has fallen in battle, and he...

"You all keep watch here. If he comes out of the Sword Inquiry Cave, stabilize him for now."

"I'm going to see Senior Sister Lingshan."

Chu Yuanfeng instructed and then flew directly towards the peak of Yin Sword Peak in the distance.

...

Qishan.

The news of Shen Wenyan's aggressive attack on Hundred Beasts Mountain had already spread widely.

Also, to attract more attention, Shen Wenyan deliberately challenged outside the mountain gate of Hundred Beasts Mountain, and with Literary Qi, he summoned a terrifying peak. In the most obvious and overpowering way, he broke through the Mountain Protection Array of Hundred Beasts Mountain.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of numerous Immortal Sects and forces within Qishan.

It can be said that people from all Immortal Sects and forces in Qishan witnessed the battle.

They were stunned by Shen Wenyan's method of attack, unlike any cultivation system, and frightened by the fact that at such a young age, he could unleash power comparable to the Golden Core Realm.

Sadly, Hundred Beasts Mountain has a long heritage, and its sect's foundation runs deep.

The Fake Pill Realm Old Ape relied on the sect's abundant resources and ultimately managed to push Shen Wenyan to death.

Yet similarly, this battle also allowed many Immortal Sect forces with grudges against Hundred Beasts Mountain to see hope.

They all witnessed the condition that Fake Pill Realm Old Ape was forced into, guessing that even if it wasn't killed on the spot, it probably wouldn't live much longer.
