Remould the Glory of Sword Art

The radiance of the Red Dragon illuminates the Earth Abyss.

After that shadow apparition appeared, the entire Ten Thousand Souls Formation began to waver and collapse.

"Heh..."

Seeing this scene, Xie Xuanyi couldn't help but let out a low laugh from his heart.

Xie Zhishui indeed still had a hidden trump card.

This residue of Great True Master Chongkan was not unfamiliar to him; it had appeared once when killing Xie Sheng in the Great Yue Kingdom...

Capable of succeeding Xiao Yaozi in leading the Taoist sect, Great True Master Chongkan's strength is enough to overshadow the world.

Even someone like Ye Ancestor, with a seasoned Yang God, cannot compare.

The real Chongkan at least has the Yang God in the Seventh Realm, or even higher.

Yet what is manifesting now is merely a residue, constrained by the Great Dao's limit, it can at most exert the power of the Yin God Perfect Realm... Nonetheless, in this current battle, the appearance of this residue is enough to change the situation, to turn the tide.

That shadow apparition emerged.

Ren Zhong's expression suddenly changed.

The Ten Thousand Souls Formation had been assaulted by the purely fierce Yang God Qi and was collapsing rapidly!

With just a slight exhalation of the Red Dragon's aura, the Ghost Soul of Yin Mountain could not bear it...

He could not comprehend how Xie Zhishui could possess "Chongkan's Residual Thought"?

In recent years, there had been no rumors of any connection between Jiangning's Prince Mansion and the Taoist sect; when Prince Jiangning was in the limelight, he also chose to visit the Sword Worship Palace.

Except for White Crane True Man.

Everyone else was also surprised by the appearance of this residue.

"This is... Great True Master of the Taoist sect Chongkan?"

"It's the Great True Master! The Prince has the Great True Master assisting in battle!"

Some cultivators at Jiangning Prince Mansion recognized this residue!

A burst of exclamations erupted among the crowd.

"Boom!"

The Red Dragon Dharma Image imposing and coiling, occupying most of the sky, as the spectacle gathered, countless rays dispersed, enveloping the Heavenly Peak.

No one saw.

The Chongkan's Residual Thought, which formed the body, stepped on the Red Dragon, appeared with a cold expression, glanced at Xie Zhishui.

In his eyes, clearly radiating "indifference" and "discontent"...

The connection between the Taoist sect and Jiangning Prince Mansion was extremely covert, except for a few core advisors, almost no one knew about the exchanges between these forces.

Because Great True Master Chongkan valued the sect's reputation above all else!

Using Xie Sheng as a base to cultivate "Red Dragon," such conduct was no different from Demon Path methods.

Once the news leaked and the evidence was indisputable, Chongkan's well-regarded name would be ruined, and the sect's reputation would also be destroyed!

"Xie Zhishui, do you know what you're doing..."

The residue glanced at the distant demonic Qi, his voice cold: "It's merely a few evil cultivators, are you really going to use your life-preserving trump card?"

He knew very well Xie Zhishui's strength, a dignified Yin God Perfection, encountering someone like White Crane True Man, even if he couldn't win, could at least ensure survival.

As for the others at the Prince Mansion.

They are mere pawns, all can be abandoned.

"No blame upon the True Master."

Xie Zhishui spoke deeply, explaining to the residue: "This summoning is not to slay demons. But for Xie Zhen."

"Oh?"

Chongkan's Residual Thought, upon hearing this, frowned, remotely locked onto the figure entangled by the Black and White Venerable.

"Now is the perfect time to kill Xie Zhen, but relying solely on my own strength, may be difficult..."

Xie Zhishui sent out a divine thought, explaining the situation in the Earth Abyss, and then with a melancholic tone he said: "This is the current situation, by killing these evil cultivators, we might uncover the truth about the Northern Hunt from years ago."

"Xie Zhen colluding with Yin Mountain? Interesting, interesting..."

Chongkan's Residual Thought digested Xie Zhishui's divine thought, gazing at the scene below, genuinely finding it somewhat ironic.

Xie Xuan Yi, ten years ago, died at the hand of Yin Mountain, the only disciple he accepted now conspiring with Yin Mountain?

It turns out the "filth" of Da Sui Sword Palace was no less than that of the Taoist sect.

The intelligence from the Earth Abyss is considerably significant; if within the territory of Da Chu, this residue could connect with the true Chongkan at any time to deliver the intelligence.

Only a pity.

This Earth Abyss is the Bai Ze Secret Tomb, more restrictive with Divine Soul than the former Great Yue Kingdom's Secret Realm.

Though the residue has consciousness, it cannot contact the true Chongkan.

"This Xie is exceptionally cunning, this opportunity, is once in a lifetime."

Xie Zhishui took a deep breath: "If I retreat... it will be difficult to encounter again..."

"No need to say more. I understand."

Chongkan's Residual Thought spoke gently: "You should know what to do after this battle ends, right?"

"I... know."

Xie Zhishui fell silent for a moment, his voice hoarse: "After this battle, not a single one shall be left."

This residue of Chongkan was seen by so many cultivators.

Even if they did not realize "the reason" now, once the battle ended, someone would eventually sense something amiss.

The secret between Jiangning and the Taoist sect opened a breach—

If secrecy is to be maintained, those who witnessed the residue must be killed.

If the battle ends in defeat, the Prince Mansion's cultivators wouldn't escape death either.

In Xie Zhishui's mind, if this battle cannot be won, the fate of his advisors is already determined.

So after careful consideration, he chose to summon the residue.

"Alright."

Having received Xie Zhishui's response.

Great True Master Chongkan no longer hesitated; he stepped heavily on the Red Dragon, instantly descending, crashing towards the Secret Hall.

"Zhong Sha! Retract hand, return to the formation!"

Ren Zhong swept his divine thought, glimpsing his junior brother not far from the grand formation, urgently speaking.

Zhong Sha was already bloodthirsty.

After tearing apart the first Yin God of Jiangning, he did not withdraw, but relentlessly pursued the second Yin God, even chasing beyond the Ten Thousand Souls Formation, without any intention to stop...

Whoosh.

The Red Dragon descended.

Great True Master Chongkan almost instantly arrived in front of Zhong Sha, right before White Crane True Man's eyes, stomping down!

Zhong Sha was indeed a brainless fool; even encountering Chongkan's Residual Thought, he showed no sign of retreat. He charged out from thick blood mist, attempting to use the menacing ghosts of the Ten Thousand Souls Formation to launch a desperate attack on the True Master, but to no avail—the difference in realms was too great, his fervor lost its significance.

Even White Crane True Man, without resorting to life-risking techniques, might not gain an advantage over Chongkan's Residual Thought.

This stomp landed directly on Zhong Sha's shoulder!

The Ten Realms Divine Embryo could not withstand the power of a single residue stomp, his physique shattered instantly, flesh and blood flying!

"...No!"

Ren Zhong roared in rage.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the suppression from the Dao Domain atop him, slapped out, causing the enormous soul banner to tremble fiercely, wild winds howling, ghostly cries multiplied tenfold!

Within an instant, millions of Ghost Souls surged out, blocking out the sky.

Xie Zhishui's Dao Domain was suppressed.

"Hmm?"

Even Chongkan's Great True Master stepped on the Red Dragon, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but express astonishment.

Originally, he hadn't taken Ren Zhong to heart.

Unexpectedly, this White Ghost's prime disciple actually cultivated the Ten Thousand Souls Formation to the Perfect Realm.

"Xie, I'll fight you to the death!"

Ren Zhong's ten fingers dyed crimson, his long hair flying, his Black Feather Cloak also tainted with red, eyes devoid of peace, leaving only madness!

"Finally the moment arrives..."

Xie Xuanyi, circling on the ground, saw this scene and revealed a look of satisfaction.

Not in vain did he hide his strength for so long, maneuvering with the Black and White Venerable; Xie Xuanyi had thought he might need to act early, was prepared to draw his sword. Unexpectedly, Xie Zhishui could play the "Chongkan's Residual Thought" card, forcing Ren Zhong into a corner.

Ten years ago.

He had witnessed the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Formation at the North Sea...

With Ren Zhong's current cultivation, Chongkan's Residual Thought might not withstand!
