Chapter 602 - 510: The Sword Sect Attacks

The immense Spiritual Qi made Su Ye narrow his eyes in satisfaction.

It felt as if one moment he was trekking through a scorching desert, and the next, he had been teleported into an air-conditioned room to chug an ice-cold soda.

"Yehai, you can take a moment to acclimate before you start refining the Tier Five Spirit Vein. The access token I've given you is valid for one year, so there's no need to worry about time."

"I'll stand guard for you outside the valley."

After Li Jinhua finished speaking, she turned and left.

Only Su Ye remained in the valley. A shadowy flicker appeared behind him, and he summoned the Ghostly Flood Dragon, suspending it high above.

He then walked to the prepared White Jade Dao Platform in the middle of the valley, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to sense the origin of the Spirit Vein.

In the Yaoguang Islands, the Spirit Veins were gaseous, light, and ethereal.

Finding the origin of a Spirit Vein was quite difficult.

However, Su Ye possessed a Tier Five Divine Sense.

For him, locating the Spirit Vein's origin would only take a few hours and posed no problem.

HUFF...

Su Ye calmed his mind and began to explore and sense the core of the Spirit Vein.

But just as he did, a fluctuation suddenly appeared within the Spirit Vein.

Su Ye opened his eyes, a cold glint appearing within them.

'A fluctuation in the Spirit Vein!'

'Ultra-long-distance void teleportation... Yes, only that kind of teleportation could disturb the Spirit Vein!'

'This teleportation... Is it aimed at me?!'

...

「At this moment.」

At the gates of the True Treasure Pavilion.

The heavens changed abruptly. Ominous clouds covered the sky, and a pitch-black rift, like the eye of the world, tore open in the firmament. Purple-black spatial lightning danced wildly around its edges.

"Did the sky just go dark?"

"What is that?"

"Invaders?!"

Countless True Treasure Pavilion cultivators looked up, their eyes filled with fear and unease.

No matter how one looked at it, this scene spelled ill intent. But this was the True Treasure Pavilion headquarters, which had not been invaded by outsiders in several hundred years.

But now...

They could hardly contain their terror.

Those with higher cultivation levels saw more.

A white-haired, white-bearded old man looked up in shock at the pitch-black rift, which resembled an eyeball and was hundreds of yards high, muttering to himself.

"Spatial teleportation?!"

"But... how is that possible? The void near the headquarters is protected by Dimension Anchor restrictions. No unpermitted outsider could possibly teleport directly here!"

"Could it be... there's a traitor in the Pavilion? And one of extremely high status... a traitor at the level of the Seven Sages!"

At this thought, even though the old man was a Core Formation cultivator, he trembled all over and felt a chill shoot up his spine.

"Who dares trespass upon my True Treasure Pavilion!"

A powerful wave of sound, carrying the Magical Power fluctuations of the Nascent Soul stage, rang out from within the True Treasure Pavilion.

"It's Mr. Changle!"

"One of the Seven Sages!"

A middle-aged man with slightly graying temples, dressed in magnificent, bright yellow robes and exuding a powerful aura of authority, appeared as if by teleportation. Without a word, he threw out a Copper Coin Sword.

A treasured light swirled around the Copper Coin Sword, wreathed in the smoke of incense. On the face of each copper coin, an image seemed to appear, showing thousands upon thousands of people engaged in commerce.

Using the Dao of commerce to refine Red Dust Copper Coins!

In a Divine World, this Mr. Changle could have attained the godhood of a 'God of Wealth'.

At the same time, three figures with terrifying auras, radiating Nascent Soul fluctuations, appeared from within the True Treasure Pavilion's gates.

"Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain!"

"Five Beasts Seven Flames Fan!"

"White Extreme Profound Light!"

Including Mr. Changle, the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs attacked the spatial rift in unison.

As for negotiations?

To hell with negotiations!

This was the True Treasure Pavilion headquarters!

They had teleported here without so much as a greeting. What was the difference between that and a declaration of war? Naturally, they would attack first and talk later!

However, facing the combined assault of four Nascent Souls, an incomparably brilliant white light shone forth from within the void rift, like the light at the dawn of creation when heaven and earth were separated.

SSSHK!

The white light swept past!

Cracks appeared all over the Copper Coin Sword, and more than two-thirds of the Red Dust Copper Coins dimmed and lost their luster!

The Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, dozens of yards in size yet as heavy as a continent, was blasted through and sent flying backward!

The manifested true flames of phoenixes and vermilion birds from the Five Beasts Seven Flames Fan were extinguished in a single sweep!

The White Extreme Profound Light dissipated completely, shattering into countless motes of spiritual light!

One strike!

The combined force of four Nascent Souls had been repelled!

"This white light..." Mr. Changle seemed to have recognized something, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

WHUMMM.

From within the void rift, a slender, elegant, gold-and-white ramming prow slowly emerged. A few breaths later, a massive and majestic Floating Battleship, gold and white all over, appeared!

"The Taixu Luofu Immortal Boat..."

Mr. Changle said, stunned.

This spiritual ship was none other than the Jade Void Sword Sect's guardian spiritual ship, the Tier Five Top-Grade Spiritual Ship, the Taixu Luofu Immortal Boat!

At the same time, aboard the Taixu Luofu Immortal Boat, nine Nascent Soul auras erupted with a BOOM!

Among them, Hu Guang and the Master of Tingchao Pavilion, two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, had auras that shot to the heavens!

"Jade Void Sword Sect, what is the meaning of this?!"

Mr. Changle's expression changed as he demanded an answer.

"Hand over Yehai, or today we will flatten the True Treasure Pavilion!"

Hu Guang's eyes were cold and sharp, his tone chilling.

"What arrogance!"

Mr. Changle said angrily.

This was the True Treasure Pavilion headquarters! Generations of the Seven Sages had reinforced the defensive Arrays here!

Besides the four of them, the True Treasure Pavilion headquarters also had Li Jinhua and the Song brothers, another three Nascent Soul True Monarchs...

Wait.

Mr. Changle's eyelid twitched.

He could understand Li Jinhua's absence; she was standing guard for Su Ye...

But why hadn't the Song brothers appeared?!

Moreover, he looked at the pitch-black void rift in the sky.

At that moment, Mr. Changle suddenly realized that countless Dimension Anchor Arrays were layered around the True Treasure Pavilion. Even the Taixu Luofu Immortal Boat shouldn't have been able to ignore the Dimension Anchor restrictions and teleport by force!

'So...'

'There's a mole... and it's most likely the Song brothers!'

In an instant, Mr. Changle's back was soaked with cold sweat. Song Yu was one of the True Treasure Pavilion's Seven Sages. A mole at the level of a Sage—what did that even mean?!

A Sage-level figure possessed the highest authority in the True Treasure Pavilion!

They could completely paralyze most of the True Treasure Pavilion's Arrays in a short period!

As for why the True Treasure Pavilion had no defenses against this? Who would have thought that a cultivator at the level of a Sage would willingly become a mole?

Speak of the devil.

Just then.

WHUMMM.

The spiritual light of the Array enveloping the True Treasure Pavilion's gates dimmed and disintegrated within a few breaths.

The other Sages tried to regain control.

However...

BOOM!

A continuous series of explosions roared from within the True Treasure Pavilion's gates!

The explosions were occurring at the Array's key nodes!

"Bastards!"

Mr. Changle's eyes looked ready to split from their sockets with rage.

The Song brothers had come prepared. They briefly paralyzed the Array, then immediately issued a command for the Array nodes to self-destruct.

Even if the True Treasure Pavilion's side regained control, it would take them a considerable amount of time to repair the Array and restore its power!

At that moment.

VWOOM.

An Escape Light flickered.

Song Yu and Song Heng, the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, flew out from the gates.

They landed on the Taixu Luofu Immortal Boat, standing together with the Nascent Souls from the Jade Void Sword Sect.

The Nascent Soul count was now four against eleven, and there was also a Tier Five Top-Grade Spiritual Ship!

"Changle... don't bring ruin upon yourself."

"My Jade Void Sword Sect is only targeting Su Ye this time. We have no hostile intentions toward the True Treasure Pavilion!"

"Of course, if you remain stubborn, this old man doesn't mind adding a few more kills to my name!"

Hu Guang's tone was chilling as he berated them again.

Immediately, he commanded the Taixu Luofu Immortal Boat to drive straight in, flying toward the core of the Spirit Vein!

Mr. Changle and the other three Nascent Souls looked at each other, their faces filled with bitterness, but they didn't dare to stop them.

Only after the immortal boat had passed did they send out a Communication Talisman to tell Su Ye to retreat.

Of course, with all this commotion, they didn't really need to send a message.

"Sigh... In one respect, the True Treasure Pavilion has never let me down: they're always a disappointment."

Su Ye shook his head and walked out of the Spirit Vein Valley.
