Summon Tiangang Sword

Whoosh!

A dark golden sword-shaped pillar of light pierced through the roof of the ancestral hall, shooting straight into the sky!

This was the Skyfiend Sword's self-activated sword qi, reaching for the heavens!

The sword qi emanated a mighty sword prestige, vast and powerful, spreading outwards like a tide.

The sudden anomaly at the ancestral hall had already alarmed the entire Spirit Sword Sect.

At this moment,

countless disciples stared in astonishment at the sword-shaped pillar of light coming from the ancestral hall, each one showing a look of surprise.

"What's going on? How did a heaven-piercing sword qi suddenly appear inside the ancestral hall?" one disciple asked subconsciously.

"I don't know. The Ancestral Hall is a sacred place of the sect, and disciples like us can't even get close to it."

"Wait, is that the direction of the Ancestral Hall?" a disciple, recalling something, said in surprise, "The Skyfiend Sword, our Spirit Sword Sect's guardian sword, is enshrined in the ancestral hall. Could this sword qi be emanating from the Skyfiend Sword?!"

"Where's the Sect Leader? Where did he go?"

While the many disciples were discussing, Sect Leader Li Changfeng, along with a group of elders, had already rushed to the Ancestral Hall at the fastest speed.

"What's going on! Why is the Skyfiend Sword causing trouble again?" Li Changfeng said with a hint of displeasure.

The elders looked at each other, none of them knowing what had happened.

And while they were confused, the elders also felt a deep sense of bewilderment.

During this time, the Skyfiend Sword had not stopped causing a stir, constantly emitting a sharp sword intent, as if it had been stimulated by something.

This was extremely rare in the Spirit Sword Sect.

Because ever since the Spirit Sword Emperor founded the Spirit Sword Sect and then disappeared, the Skyfiend Sword had been in a state of dormancy.

For so many years, it had been quietly placed in the Ancestral Hall, like a lifeless piece of wood.

Who would have thought...

that the Skyfiend Sword had been extremely active recently, and the commotion it caused was getting bigger each time!

"Sect Leader, the most important thing now is to quickly reinforce the seal," the elder guarding the ancestral hall quickly said, "I can clearly sense that the Skyfiend Sword's reaction this time is extraordinary. If we don't continue to reinforce it, it is very likely to break through the previous seal and fly away!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng was greatly alarmed.

The other elders were also stunned, then showed extremely serious expressions.

"We must not let the Skyfiend Sword fly away!" Li Changfeng said sternly, "The Skyfiend Sword is not only the symbol of our sect's heritage, but also the most powerful guardian sword of our Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Without the Skyfiend Sword, the strength of our Spirit Sword Sect would plummet by a small half. To some extent, the Skyfiend Sword can even affect the survival of our Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Everyone, quickly take action and reinforce the seal!" First Elder Su Tianming quickly said.

As soon as he finished speaking,

Li Changfeng and the elders, with great tacit understanding, simultaneously struck out, sending out streaks of sealing incantations towards the excited Skyfiend Sword.

However, as the incantations were struck into the Skyfiend Sword, it did not quiet down; instead, it became even more violent.

It seemed to be enraged, emitting an even more dazzling dark golden sword glow!

The sword glow was incredibly sharp, actually attacking Li Changfeng and the others!

"Screech!"

The sword glow swept across, forcefully pushing Li Changfeng and the others far away!

"The Skyfiend Sword is angry, it's angry..." Li Changfeng muttered to himself, while also becoming even more puzzled, "What exactly did the Skyfiend Sword sense to suddenly burst out with such a temper?"

No one answered him, because the other elders also didn't know what had happened.

At this moment, an elder suddenly thought of a bold idea and blurted out, "Do you think the Skyfiend Sword might have sensed the aura of our founding ancestor, the Spirit Sword Emperor, which is why it suddenly unleashed such powerful sword prestige that even we can't suppress it?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Changfeng and the others' eyes widened.

"This, that shouldn't be possible..." First Elder Su Tianming said hesitantly, "Our founding ancestor, the Spirit Sword Emperor, has been missing for hundreds of years. After so many years, he's probably long gone."

"But if it has nothing to do with the Spirit Sword Emperor, why would the Skyfiend Sword have such a strong reaction?" Li Changfeng asked and answered himself, "You know, the Skyfiend Sword is famously unruly, difficult to subdue, and even harder to impress."

"For so many years, successive sect leaders of our Spirit Sword Sect have tried to subdue the Skyfiend Sword for their own use, but without exception, they were all rejected or even attacked."

"Including me, the current sect leader, I have also been attacked by the Skyfiend Sword many times. Out of helplessness, I gave up the idea of subduing it."

Hearing Li Changfeng say this, the elders fell silent once again.

A moment later,

another elder, recalling something, said, "I remember a rumor circulating in the sect that before the Spirit Sword Emperor left the sect, he hid his legacy somewhere within the sect."

"As long as one obtains this legacy, they can also activate the Skyfiend Sword, and even gain its recognition. Am I right?"

"What are you trying to say?" Li Changfeng asked with a frown.

The elder thought for a moment and said, "What I'm trying to say is, is it possible that someone has obtained the Spirit Sword Emperor's legacy? That's why the Skyfiend Sword has repeatedly caused a series of commotions."

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng first nodded, then shook his head.

"Lord Spirit Sword Emperor did indeed leave his legacy, but it's not that easy to obtain," Li Changfeng said, "For these past few hundred years, countless inner sect elders, disciples, and even successive sect leaders have searched the Spirit Sword Sect high and low, digging three feet deep, but found no legacy."

"So, your idea is also unrealistic!"

Just as he was speaking,

the Skyfiend Sword suddenly let out a series of piercing sword cries.

Then,

under the dumbfounded gaze of Li Changfeng and the others, the Skyfiend Sword erupted with overwhelming sword prestige, and then, with an unstoppable force, tore apart all the seals on its blade!

"Clang!"

The Skyfiend Sword broke free, letting out joyful sword cries.

Accompanied by the cries of freedom, the Skyfiend Sword shot up like lightning, instantly piercing through the roof and flying into the sky.

After circling in the sky once, the Skyfiend Sword, as if it had found a target, directly transformed into a dark golden sword light and shot towards that direction.

"The Skyfiend Sword flew away!" an elder exclaimed, looking up at the sky.

"Quick, chase it, hurry and chase it!" Li Changfeng was anxious, "If the Skyfiend Sword flies away, we will all be sinners of the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry and chase it, bring the Skyfiend Sword back!"

Li Changfeng, along with the elders, also shot up from the ground, frantically chasing after the flying Skyfiend Sword.

However, after flying for only a moment, they stopped in astonishment.

Because Li Changfeng and the others discovered that the Skyfiend Sword had not flown out of the Spirit Sword Sect, but had arrived at the residence of the true disciples.

More precisely, it had arrived above a small courtyard.

After stopping above the small courtyard, the Skyfiend Sword remained motionless, looking docile and ready to be picked.

"This small courtyard seems to be Xiao Ming's residence," First Elder Su Tianming frowned and said in confusion, "How did the Skyfiend Sword come here?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

he suddenly thought of something, his eyes instantly widening, and he muttered, "Could it be that Xiao Ming summoned the Skyfiend Sword?!"
