Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: The Sword Sovereign’s Order, As If The Sword Sovereign Himself Is Present

I have failed my Master!

On Skyreach Island, as Jiang Hengyue watched the grand formation collapse and a horde of cultivators swarm in like locusts, a grim smile touched his lips.

The Asura Armor his Master had bestowed upon him had been stolen by a mysterious powerhouse.

For some reason, this news had eventually leaked.

Consequently, Tongming Island, the largest in the Tenth Sea Region, set its sights on the Ninth Sea Area. They intended to seize Skyreach Island and use it as a stepping stone for their expansion.

The Tenth Sea Region was the most remote and weakest among the Ten Great Ocean areas. Thus, thousands of cultivators had fiercely attacked this grand formation for many days, eventually shattering it.

”Kill the Jiang Clan members, and Skyreach Island will belong to us from Tongming Island!”

An old cultivator at the True God Realm Tenth Layer Peak stood in mid-air. A crazed laugh twisted his gaunt face as he waved his hand.

”Kill!”

The cultivators of Tongming Island surged forward like an incoming tide.

A massive slaughter appeared imminent.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a powerful, imposing aura descended from the void.

In an instant, all cultivators on both sides were rendered immobile, feeling as if a great mountain pressed down on them, making even breathing incredibly difficult.

Cultivators from both sides were instantly dumbstruck with fear.

This earth-shattering aura undoubtedly indicated the arrival of a Divine Monarch Realm powerhouse.

”Why is there a Divine Monarch Realm powerhouse here?”

The elderly cultivator from Tongming Island was now utterly terrified.

Could it be... Could it be that a small place like Skyreach Island has a Divine Monarch Realm powerhouse backing it? If Skyreach Island truly had the support of a Divine Monarch Realm powerhouse, then Island Master Jiang Hengyue’s God-level armor would not have been stolen.

Could it be... Master is here?

Jiang Hengyue gazed at the void, a mixture of shock and elation on his face, but he could not see his Master’s silhouette.

”Besides Master, which other Divine Monarch Realm expert would come to save our Skyreach Island at a time like this?” Lin Yanran, standing beside Jiang Hengyue, asked with a remarkably calm smile.

Jiang Hengyue nodded silently.

But though he scanned the void, he found no trace of his Master’s arrival.

WHOOSH!

At this moment, a graceful figure in red suddenly materialized from the void without any warning.

This stunning, red-robed woman emitted countless tiny sword lights. They were so brilliant and dazzling that none of the True God Realm cultivators present could discern her true features.

”Such a powerful Sword Cultivator, and a Divine Monarch Realm cultivator too...”

Jiang Hengyue stared in amazement at the red figure in the sky, swallowing hard.

This scene was not what he had expected. Shouldn’t it be Master who descends? Whenever he thought of Master, the image that came to mind was of a young man in white robes, possessing unparalleled elegance and an extraordinary temperament. A casual glance from him seemed enough to command the entire world.

Lin Yanran also looked baffled, staring blankly at the suddenly appearing red-robed woman.

Although she couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly, her intuition told her this woman was exceptionally beautiful. Compared to her, she felt as insignificant as a firefly to the radiant moon.

Liu Yiyi hovered in the void. She glanced at the weak True God Realm Cultivators around her before her gaze finally settled on the leader of the attackers: the old cultivator at the True God Realm Tenth Layer Peak.

”Are you the leader?” Liu Yiyi asked indifferently.

She had appeared here at Ye Yun’s request.

Ye Yun did not wish to reveal himself.

A trivial matter like this could be handled by the Sword Sovereign of the Daluo Region.

Meanwhile, Ye Yun, hidden in the void, watched as Liu Yiyi once again displayed the Sword Sovereign’s domineeringly powerful side. He couldn’t help but recall the passion in the Bronze Immortal Palace and chuckled softly.

Such a stark contrast! Cold as ice to her enemies, yet passionate as fire to her lover. That was Liu Yiyi. A Sword Infatuation devoted to the Sword Dao for one hundred thousand years.

”Senior, I am the Island Master of Tongming Island, from the Tenth Sea Region. May I ask what guidance Senior has for me?” the old man stammered, his face panic-stricken as he immediately knelt in mid-air.

”Do you recognize this token?” Liu Yiyi demanded in a low voice, flicking her finger. A red, sword-shaped token appeared before the old man.

”This...”

Gazing at the ancient and exquisite sword-shaped token, the old man’s expression changed dramatically.

This was the Sword Sovereign Command of the Daluo Region! To see this command was akin to seeing the Sword Sovereign in person.

As the Island Master of Tongming Island, the dominant power in the Tenth Sea Region, the old man had, of course, visited the Daluo Region. He knew well that its most formidable force was the Jianyun Sect.

The Jianyun Sect’s supremacy stemmed from the presence of a formidable Sword Sovereign.

No one in the entire Daluo Region dared to disrespect the Sword Sovereign.

And he was merely a minor Island Master from the Tenth Sea Region.

”Greetings to the Sword Sovereign.”

The old man hurriedly kowtowed three times before the sword-shaped token.

After kowtowing, he prostrated himself fully, not daring to rise.

The cultivators from Tongming Island were utterly shocked to see their Island Master behaving so respectfully.

Most of them had never even left the Tenth Sea Region, so they were ignorant of the Sword Sovereign’s fame in the Daluo Region.

Who is the Sword Sovereign? How could she... scare that fellow... into such a state? Jiang Hengyue wondered, looking confusedly at Lin Yanran beside him.

Gazing at the sword-shaped token, Lin Yanran’s expression changed, her body trembling.

”Husband, this is the Sword Sovereign Command from the Jianyun Sect of the Daluo Region! Could this be the renowned Sword Sovereign herself?” Lin Yanran asked, her voice trembling.

Daluo Region... Jianyun Sect...

Jiang Hengyue murmured, then jolted as a memory surfaced.

The Daluo Region, which bordered the First Sea Region, was an exceptionally powerful territory. It boasted innumerable Divine Monarch Realm cultivators, their numbers far surpassing the combined strength found across the Ten Great Ocean areas.

Among the many powers in the Daluo Region, the Jianyun Sect was the strongest.

And the strongest within the Jianyun Sect was the Sword Sovereign.

She was regarded as the foremost Sword Dao expert in the Daluo Region.

At this moment, Lin Yanran’s eyes were fixed with fervent admiration on the red figure in the void. Why would Senior Sword Sovereign come to a remote place like our Ninth Sea Area? she muttered.

Could it be... the Sword Sovereign came to inquire about the God-level armor?

Such a thought suddenly sprouted in Jiang Hengyue’s mind, causing his unease to multiply.

The God-level Asura Armor had brought him unimaginable honor and a tremendous boost to his power, but it had also brought disaster. Fortunately, that Divine Monarch Realm powerhouse had not killed him back then, which was the only reason he had survived to this day. Now, another Sword Sovereign, one with a God King Realm Cultivation Level, had arrived. Did she also want to investigate the origin of the God-level armor?

Jiang Hengyue clenched his teeth. At this moment, he resolved that even if it meant death, he would absolutely not reveal any information about his Master.

He took out a poison pill and placed it under his tongue, ready to die at the slightest sign of trouble.

Lin Yanran’s attention was solely on the Sword Sovereign in the void; she did not notice his subtle action.

However, Ye Yun, concealed in the void, did notice Jiang Hengyue’s move.

He glanced over, recognizing the pill as highly poisonous.

If he bit down and swallowed it, Jiang Hengyue would perish instantly.

This little fellow truly has never disappointed me.

Ye Yun chuckled softly, a trace of admiration in his eyes.
