Chapter 15 – Tremors in the Martial World
Looking at Black and White Xuanjian suspended in mid-air, Yan Jun’s eyes revealed a strong fighting intent.
“Let me see this sword of yours that surpasses the Celestial Realm!”
“Red Flame Heavenly Smite!”
As the words fell, Yan Jun’s body slowly rose. Holding the sword horizontally to his chest, his left hand swept across the blade, infusing the Red Flame Divine Sword with all his essence, qi, and spirit, pouring everything into this one sword.
With the empowerment of these forces, the Red Flame Divine Sword erupted once again with an even more intense brilliance, illuminating the entire Divine Flame Sect with its radiance.
Facing Black and White Xuanjian, Yan Jun had no chance of winning. He could only resort to this method to confront the unfairness of fate.
He wanted to tell the mastermind that Yan Jun of the Divine Flame Sect would stand together with the sect, even if he was just a pawn, he had his own choices.
At this moment, within the mid-air of the Divine Flame Sect, one side was the ultimate black, while the other side was as bright as daylight.
This was the confrontation between black and white, but also the first clash between the Ye Family and the Great Xia Imperial Family.
Crack! Another lightning bolt.
Swoosh~
Swoosh~
Two figures moved, their speed akin to released arrows.
Boom!
A tremendous energy erupted in the black night, like a small sun, instantly illuminating the entire Chixia Peak.
This tremendous sound spread far beyond, numerous scouts rushing in haste, wanting to investigate the cause.
At this moment, within the mid-air of the Divine Flame Sect, a mushroom cloud, hundreds of zhang in size, slowly ascended toward the sky.
Bang!
Puff!
Yan Jun was instantly shaken by the immense force, flying backward, then falling to the ground, lying in a pool of rainwater, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Among this blood, his shattered internal organs, broken meridians, and bones were included. His entire body was in pieces.
As for Black and White Xuanjian, their aura was fluctuating slightly, presumably due to receiving the backlash of this power.
They glanced at Yan Jun lying on the ground, then immediately lifted the white sword with their right hand and dragged the black sword with their left hand, departing.
The six Sword Slaves and the group of assassins followed closely behind.
At this moment, Yan Jun, with his eyes open and a trace of life left, recalled his entire life. Various scenes flashed through his mind continuously.
His birth was an accident; his mother was a palace maid, and his father was the previous Emperor. His existence brought shame to the entire imperial family.
Therefore, he was sent out of the palace since childhood, even his mother’s image was blurred in his mind.
Yan Jun’s identity was ultimately of royal blood. Naturally, he couldn’t let himself starve on the streets, so he was cultivated in secret.
Later, he established the Divine Flame Sect in the martial world, specifically to eliminate some problematic figures for the imperial family.
The most important purpose of Yan Jun in establishing the Divine Flame Sect was to prove his worth to the Great Xia Imperial Family.
However, after experiencing various incidents, he also understood that the imperial family, in the end, was just a group of ruthless individuals who spared no means to achieve their goals.
After understanding these things, he wanted to break free from the control of the imperial family, but their influence was too vast. It was not easy to break free.
These scenes played in his mind like a slide show.
Gradually, Yan Jun’s pupils lost focus, and his life force dissipated.
Yan Jun, the renowned leader of the Divine Flame Sect in the martial world, a late-stage Celestial Realm superpower, fell just like this.
As the Network departed, scouts from other forces arrived near the Divine Flame Sect to investigate.
They didn’t dare to act rashly; after all, the energy fluctuation just now was too strong, even audible far beyond.
“This … such a strong smell of blood!”
Many scouts, seeing this, didn’t care about much and hurried into the Divine Flame Sect.
What they saw were figures lying in pools of blood. The blood, mixed with rainwater, formed small puddles.
Crackle!
Lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the earth.
“Ah!”
At this moment, a voice of terror came from inside a house.
“Dead, all dead …” Everyone rushed over, only to find that all the disciples of the Divine Flame Sect in the sleeping quarters were killed.
“Quick, check elsewhere!”
From time to time, all the scouts investigated the entire Divine Flame Sect, but without exception, not a single survivor was found. All were killed, and there was no chance for any reaction.
Some were killed in their sleep, some while drinking, and even more shockingly, some were killed while in the lavatory …
“The entire Divine Flame Sect, from top to bottom, over 1800 people, not a single survivor, even Yan Jun died in battle!”
At this moment, a leader, hearing the report from his men, was extremely shocked.
The Divine Flame Sect, a top-tier force in the Great Xia martial world, led by Yan Jun, a late-stage Celestial Realm superpower, was actually annihilated overnight.
“Could it be the actions of those super forces?” Many people secretly speculated.
“Retreat, quickly bring this news back.”
“I’m afraid after tonight, the entire martial world will boil over.”
“Tonight is destined to be an unrestful night!”
…
The next day, in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, within Xia Wuye’s sleeping chamber.
At this moment, Cao Zhengde’s expression was somewhat unsightly. He held the intelligence brought back by the scouts last night, waiting respectfully outside the door.
Seeing Xia Wuye come out of the sleeping chamber, Cao Zhengde hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted.
“Your Majesty, something has happened!”
Upon hearing this, Xia Wuye’s brows furrowed immediately. His face did not show any joy. Waiting outside so early in the morning and being told something happened!
“Speak, what exactly happened!”
Cao Zhengde quickly handed over the intelligence in his hand to Xia Wuye.
The entire intelligence contained only simple words: Divine Flame Sect annihilated, not a single survivor.
After seeing this intelligence, Xia Wuye’s face turned iron-blue. He immediately asked, “Investigate clearly, which force is behind this?”
“This force is extremely powerful. There were no bodies at the scene, only a spider pattern was left behind!” Cao Zhengde replied seriously.
“Spider?” Xia Wuye furrowed his brows tightly. After pondering for a moment, he didn’t recall any information about this force.
“What about Yan Jun?”
“He …” Cao Zhengde hesitated.
“Speak!” Xia Wuye said coldly.
“He’s dead, all his meridians and bones were shattered. Nine out of ten of the Divine Flame Sect’s top ten elders died on the spot. Only Yan Yang was heavily injured and unconscious, escaping death. There wasn’t a single survivor among the entire Divine Flame Sect’s 1800 members!”
“What!” Xia Wuye, upon hearing this, was filled with anger.
Grabbing Cao Zhengde by the collar, he said word by word, “At any cost, save Yan Yang. I want to know which force dares to oppose the Great Xia.”
After finishing his words, he tossed him away.
From being utterly unknown to becoming a top-tier force like the Divine Flame Sect, it was hard for anyone to believe that there was no support behind them. As for who supported them, no one knew.
Only those super forces might have an idea.
At this moment, facing Xia Wuye’s rage, Cao Zhengde knelt trembling on the ground, looking terrified. Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.
“As you command, I vow to Your Majesty that Yan Yang will not die!”
“Scram!” Xia Wuye roared again.
Cao Zhengde quickly got up from the ground and soon left the place. There was no doubt that he was going to seek the help of the Divine Physician, Chang Baichuan.
Perhaps only he could save Yan Yang in the entire Xia.
