Chapter 452 The Change of the Milky Way
"Bai Lu, why are you so late!" Deng Yi's words were tinged with anger.
"Sect Master, something came up temporarily and we were delayed. It's not over yet!" Bai Lu said with a smile. She had to buy Shen Xu as much time as possible.
"Where are Shen Xu and Guan Bi? Everyone here wants to meet him. If he doesn't come, isn't that a sign that he doesn't respect us?"
“Absolutely not. Shen Xu was already seriously injured before she arrived. Her battle with Senior Brother Zhou aggravated her wounds, and she is currently lying in bed. Guan Bi is taking care of her.”
I thought it would be better to let her rest for a while, which would increase our chances of success later, so I took it upon myself to tell him not to come.
"I can testify to this. Before Shen Xu came to the Tianhe Sword Sect, he was ambushed by Dan Laogui and suffered many burns from the Purple Qi Flame Furnace. He was only able to survive thanks to the healing breath of the Sword Venerable," Yi Yunyu said calmly.
Upon hearing Yi Yunyu's explanation, everyone was taken aback.
Who is Dan Laogui? He is a well-known Transcendent cultivator from the Four Directions Sword Alliance. Shen Xu was able to survive the machinations of such a person. Even a cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm would find it difficult to do such a thing!
They suddenly felt that Shen Xu's victory over Zhou Tai was insignificant.
"Since you're injured, do you need to get some treatment?"
"Does the Sect Master think there's anything in the Heavenly River Sword Sect that has a healing effect even greater than the Sword Venerable's Healing Breath?" Yi Yunyu mocked without any politeness.
Deng Yi's expression changed slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Sect Master, Shen Xu's injuries haven't been fatal. He must be very touched to know how much you care about him," Bai Lu immediately came to Deng Yi's rescue.
"That's good! Bai Lu, the girl you brought is very talented."
Deng Yi gestured for Bai Lu to look towards the Canglang Sword Platform.
There stood one person on each of the nine Canglang Sword Platforms, with ripples of water floating on the Canglang Sword in their hands.
The nine strongest members of this Canglang Sword Tide have been selected, and Yang Qiqi is among them.
As if to celebrate this grand occasion, a waterspout suddenly surged on the river surface, and one after another, moon spirit silver fish leaped out of the water.
Upon seeing this, the nine people's expressions froze, then they were overjoyed and flew into the waterspout to scramble for it.
Sword shadows intertwined like a spider web; the accidentally injured sword energy shattered the rocks, only to be annihilated by the elder's lightning threads.
The temporary viewing tower erected on the riverbank was crowded with dignitaries and nobles, who held up their viewing glasses in amazement.
The storyteller, Iron-Tongued Liu, sat at the table and improvised a scene from the earlier sword-fighting contest: "It is said that Ling Wufeng split the tide with a single sword strike, and Ye Jingqiu was bound by lightning chains; it was truly the work of a celestial being..."
Just then, a little girl pointed in a direction in the Milky Way and suddenly exclaimed, "Mommy, there's a dragon! There's a dragon in the river! It's a huge dragon!"
Everyone looked in the direction the little girl was pointing and saw only a huge wave shimmering with endless lightning.
The old servant beside the girl hurriedly used a calming incense to protect her mind.
However, what they didn't know was that at that moment, at every tide-watching spot in Tianhe, someone was wearing a bloodthirsty smile.
They took out specially made magical artifacts to break through the riverbank's restrictions and, with frantic expressions, jumped into the river one by one.
The leader was as thin as a ghost, holding a Soul-Devouring Cauldron filled with putrid blood, black energy seeping from the cracks in its body.
He cut open his wrist veins, and black blood seeped into the lightning sand to draw the Reverse Scale Array.
After absorbing the demonic blood, the sand grains floated and spun in the air, transforming into seventy-two blood lightning beads that struck the river surface, draining the essence and blood of every demonic cultivator in the river. Then, their dried corpses were instantly torn to pieces by the surging river water.
The eerie blood instantly filled the river, staining large areas of the water a vivid crimson.
The emaciated old man roared madly, "With our broken bodies, we beg the dragon soul to appear!"
The Soul-Devouring Cauldron exploded, completely sucking the old man into it. The black blood in the cauldron, carrying resentment accumulated over a century, poured into the riverbed, causing the river water to boil instantly like a pool of blood.
Everything happened so fast that by the time everyone realized what was happening, it was too late to stop it.
The people at Canglang Sword Platform all paled upon seeing this scene.
Deng Yi appeared in the center of the nine Canglang Sword Platforms in a flash, and with a wave of his sleeve, he carried the nine people to Zhen Leifeng.
"what--!"
Chaos erupted among the crowd watching the tide, with screams from women and children drowning out the roar of the surging waves and echoing across the Milky Way.
Everyone present knew that something big was about to happen in Tianhe, and they all wanted to leave Tianhe as soon as possible, but with such a large crowd, how could they escape so easily?
The river water quickly broke through the restrictions, roaring and crashing against every viewing platform. The blood that touched the skin would immediately corrode the flesh.
As the waves continued to rise, many people were swept away by the river, leaving not even their bones behind.
Seeing this, the crowd panicked even more, screaming and scattering in all directions.
For a moment, roars, screams, cries, and the sound of waves filled the air.
"Get out of the way!" a burly man roared, shoving through the crowd trying to clear a path.
"You're courting death!" All that could be seen was a flash of sword light, and the burly man was killed by a black-robed law enforcement disciple with a single sword strike.
The black-robed disciple lifted the burly man's head and placed it on the flying sword, coldly shouting, "Use me as a base, form three rows, and retreat in an orderly manner."
Those who violate this rule will face the consequences!
The black-robed disciple threw the burly man's head into the completely silent crowd. Although it caused a slight commotion, the crowd eventually calmed down.
At this moment, similar scenes occurred at many tide-watching locations, and the Tianhe Sword Sect quickly brought the commotion under control.
But at this moment, on Zhen Leifeng, Deng Yi and many Tianhe elders looked at the increasingly terrifying Tianhe with solemn eyes.
They could all sense that Xuan Ting was about to break free from the suppression.
"Should the sect leader activate Zhen Leifeng?" Liao Tianfeng asked respectfully.
"Elder Yi, what's your opinion?" Deng Yi asked, looking at Yi Yunyu.
"Since someone wants Xuan Ting to come out and stretch his muscles, wouldn't it be too unacceptable for us to stop him?"
"It's only right to reciprocate; we should also send someone to visit Xuan Ting."
"Yi Yunyu, do you know how much damage Xuan Ting will cause to the Sword Sect if we let him run rampant?" an elder shouted sternly.
"Of course I know, after all, the last time Xuan Ting escaped was only more than a decade ago," Yi Yunyu said nonchalantly.
Seeing the angry faces of the crowd, Yi Yunyu continued, "Zhen Leifeng can no longer completely suppress Xuan Ting."
It is growing, but the power to suppress Lei Feng is limited. Sooner or later, it will completely break free from the shackles of the Milky Way.
I really don't know how it will treat the Tianhe Sword Sect, which has imprisoned him for thousands of years, when that day comes.
Even if you suppress Xuan Ting today, what about the Sword Master's arrangements? Are we going to have to wait another three years?
You've all seen what happened today. Someone has already set their sights on the Tianhe Sword Sect. If we don't completely deal with Xuan Ting this time, I don't dare to imagine what will happen next.
"Everything has risks, but you're probably the ones taking the most risks." Yi Yunyu's sharp gaze swept over the crowd.
"Bai Lu, go and call Shen Xu and Guan Bi over!" Deng Yi sighed softly.
"Um... um... Shen Xu is unconscious." Bai Lu lowered her head, not daring to look at the others.
"What did you say!" Yi Yunyu immediately came to Bai Lu's side. "Say it again!"
“I said Shen Xu is unconscious!” Bai Lu looked up at Yi Yunyu with a determined expression.
"This matter is of great importance, Bailu, you mustn't throw a tantrum."
"I know you like Shen Xu, but this is not something you can allow! Take me to him." Yi Yunyu glared at Bai Lu with great disappointment.
"No need, he's already here," Deng Yi said in a deep voice, looking at a streak of light in the distance.
"How is this possible?" Bai Lu stared in disbelief as the familiar light drew closer.
