Chapter 140: Expulsion
That black-robed sword cultivator, who took away the Word Spirit back then, wielded an iron sword with a chilling killing intent. A sword strike was like the wailing of countless ghosts, making the people who're influenced by its sword intent feel as if they are in the midst of a Shura battlefield, buried in the blood-stained yellow sand, and lying in eternal rest with thousands of corpses. They’d feel as if they have already died.
Dead in the chilling aura of the sword intent, amidst thousands of bones.
He was struck by a sword, definitely, but he clearly survived. His heart is still beating, but he can't shake the feeling that he has already died. That his flesh is gradually decaying, maggots crawling all over, ultimately turning into white bones. If it weren't for the patriarch's palm striking him away back then, he would have truly died at that moment!
Even though he hadn’t been fatally struck by the sword at that time, it still left him immersed in an unstoppable killing intent. Such a formless sword intent, that is the most ruthless kind of sword.
And now, he feels the same sword intent here.
Even though the cultivators from the Obliteration Sword Tower are quite young, this matter must be treated with great caution.
The Ninth Elder requests the Sect Master to gather all disciples. They must see if anyone's sword intent is similar to that person.
Bai Su also heard from Su Tingyun about the matter of Yan Yuqing hiding his master. He suspects that among the cultivators of the Obliteration Sword Tower, there might be a high-level expert concealing their cultivation. Hearing Ninth Elder’s words at this moment lends some support to his suspicion. Ninth Elder has a higher cultivation level and a stronger soul. Third Uncle is sensitive to sword intent. If there's anything amiss, they can surely detect it.
With careful inspection, they can at least find out whether that swordsman has been hiding among them.
Su Tingyun thinks it makes sense, so she informs the Sect Leader, who then gathers everyone to form a long line, from the oldest to the youngest.
At this moment, even Elder Yan Shu, who is recuperating in the attic, is invited to come out. He sits at the forefront of the line. Due to the severe injuries sustained earlier and his ongoing anxiety, his complexion is not very good at the moment.
Elder Yan Shu has yet to break through the Golden Core stage. After the serious injuries, his cultivation has even regressed. Currently, he is only at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage. To be frank, in terms of strength, even low-level spirit beasts like the Iron-toothed Ant in the True Immortal Realm are stronger than him. Yet, it's precisely this person who has been granted an oracle.
He shall not die.
If it weren't for the Word Spirit having low cultivation and weak strength, this statement could have determined his entire life. If the Word Spirit had the strength it possessed back in the Bai family, who knows whether this person would be fortunate or unfortunate.
With average cultivation aptitude, even with continuous supplementation day and night, consuming spiritual pills and miraculous medicines, there is still a limit to his lifespan. However, the Heavenly Dao Word Spirit said he won't die.
In the end, with white hair and a weakened body, he will still have a breath left, like an immortal abomination. Such longevity might be considered a curse. Fortunately, the Word Spirit is still weak, and its words don't carry such great power. It's necessary to guide it well in the future to prevent it from uttering such inappropriate words again.
Yan Shu stands at the forefront of the line because he is the one protected by the Word Spirit, and he is particularly weak. The Bai family doesn't pay much attention to him. The second in line is Elder Fang. While they are investigating, they hear a few people at the end of the line chatting. Although they speak in hushed tones, the Bai family members, with their cultivation levels, can still hear.
Xiao Budian: "Why are we lining up?"
Bai Chengyu responds, "Is it for giving a meeting gift? My eldest brother loves giving things. Back then, even M’Lord always gave us treasures by the handful. I'm sure eldest brother's relatives are equally generous."
"Really?" Wuyou and Wulu are dragon-phoenix twins, and they speak with surprisingly synchronized tones.
"Really?" Big Bai is particularly interested in gifts. She has received many gifts from the Obliteration Sword Tower before. Now, upon hearing this, she happily joins the line at the end, counting how many people are left before it's her turn.
Bai Changge: "..."
After inspecting Elder Fangyuan and finding nothing wrong, Bai Changge leisurely takes out a magical treasure. He smiles gently and says with a gentle smile, "As we're new here, here's a modest gift. Please accept it."
"Really, really!" The young people at the back of the line nod repeatedly. Bai Su watches and a corner of his mouth twitches, saying to Su Tingyun, "Ninth Elder must really want to hit someone now."
"Is that so?" Su Tingyun sees that warm and spring-like smile. "But he's smiling so kindly."
Bai Su: "Heh."
This indicates that he really, really wants to hit someone.
After inspecting the line of people and finding no abnormalities, they distribute over a dozen magical treasures. Fortunately, there’s not a lot of people in the Obliteration Sword Tower. It's worth noting that the Ninth Elder’s personal collection can't be ordinary items.
When it's the Word Spirit's turn, Elder Bai presents the most precious feather brush made from the tail feathers of a ninth-tier spirit beast, the Phoenix Feather Bird. However, Big Bai turns away and walks off, saying, "The colors aren't bright. I like red, green, and blue."
The feathers of the Phoenix Feather Bird are white...
Bai Changge: "..."
On his first meeting with the Word Spirit, he is rejected.
Xuanyuan Wentian isn’t hiding within the Obliteration Sword Tower. His current whereabouts are unknown, but it gives Su Tingyun a bit of relief. However, knowing that Little Uncle has entered the Demon Realm does leave Su Tingyun silent.
Just at this moment, Elder Yan Shu suddenly declares that he is going to expel Yan Yuqing from the sect, causing the cheerful atmosphere among the disciples to quiet down.
