136: Immortal Sword Sect in peril

After two long hours, the mid-to-high-level leadership of Medicine King Valley had been completely and bloodily slaughtered by Yang Lingchen.

The entire Medicine King Valley was heavily shrouded in a bone-chilling, terrifying scent of blood.

Although Yang Lingchen had killed countless people, he surprisingly did not kill a single innocent low-level Disciple of Medicine King Valley.

After finishing this cruel slaughter, Yang Lingchen's expression was cold as he directly announced the dissolution of Medicine King Valley.

However, this time he did not impulsively set Medicine King Valley ablaze as he usually would. After all, there were many precious medicinal gardens within the valley, and it would be a great pity to destroy them directly.

Having resolved this major threat, Yang Lingchen rapidly sped toward the Cangyun Mountain Range on his sword.

He had a clear plan in mind: first, Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, and then return to the Immortal Sword Sect to take a look.

In case the Phoenix Divine Dynasty took out its anger on the Immortal Sword Sect because of his actions, he could use his powerful strength to hold them off if he were there.

Yang Lingchen searched throughout the Cangyun Mountain Range and finally found a deep, secluded cave, then quickly slipped into the haotian jade space.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

"Xiao Qingyun, stop! You insane, perverted woman!"

As soon as Yang Lingchen entered the haotian jade space, Wang Yuyan's shrill, agonizing screams pierced through like sharp arrows.

He looked up and focused his gaze; Yang Lingchen was immediately startled, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

He saw Wang Yuyan being ruthlessly hung from a high crossbeam with thick ropes by Xiao Qingyun, and her clothes had been savagely stripped off by Xiao Qingyun.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingyun was holding a rod as hard as iron.

She was repeatedly exerting force on Wang Yuyan's delicate body.

"Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah..."

"Xiao Qingyun, you venomous bitch, you'll die a horrible death! Ahhh..."

By now, Wang Yuyan had been beaten black and blue, covered in blood by Xiao Qingyun.

However, the venomous resentment radiating from her beautiful eyes did not diminish at all; instead, it grew more intense and deep.

"bitch, that's enough for today. Tomorrow I'll continue to teach you a lesson, you reckless bitch."

Xiao Qingyun delivered another vicious slap, landing heavily on Wang Yuyan's beautiful face, before letting her down and ruthlessly locking her into a cold, sturdy iron cage.

Yang Lingchen found a quiet, secluded corner in the haotian jade space and carefully categorized the wide variety of Spirit Medicine and the vast quantity of Spirit Stones he had risked his life to rob over the past two days, and then began to focus intently on Alchemy.

Just as Yang Lingchen took out the black cauldron to prepare for Alchemy, the black cauldron suddenly acted like an awakened ancient behemoth, crazily rushing toward the nearby section of categorized secret treasures.

The black cauldron opened its mouth like a giant, deep abyss of an ancient beast, greedily swallowing the Magical Artifacts that were radiating mysterious light. In a short while, the weapons and precious secret treasures Yang Lingchen had worked so hard to rob were all swallowed clean without restraint.

Fortunately, Yang Lingchen's immortal demon sword had already become a life-bound Dao Artifact connected to his Soul and perfectly fused with his physical body. Otherwise, he was truly afraid this gluttonous black cauldron would ruthlessly devour the immortal demon sword he valued as much as his life.

"Master, is there anything else to eat? I'm not full yet!" The black cauldron emitted an innocent yet somewhat urgent child's voice.

"Holy crap, an Artifact Spirit!"

Extreme shock appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes, his expression as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.

"Artifact Spirit! Master, what is an Artifact Spirit?" the black cauldron asked curiously, its voice full of longing for the unknown.

Yang Lingchen didn't speak immediately but walked over with immense excitement; he could clearly feel a tight connection deep within his Soul between himself and this black cauldron.

Originally, Yang Lingchen had looked down on this black cauldron quite a bit. Later, because the Vast Heaven Jade had a faint, mysterious resonance with this black cauldron, he had bought it with the intention of giving it a try.

At that time, he thought he had picked up a peerless treasure. Later, he spent a lot of time and energy researching it for a while, but he could never figure anything out.

Slowly, Yang Lingchen gradually forgot about it. Fortunately, the effects of the Medicinal Pills refined by the black cauldron were decent; otherwise, he would have long ago heartlessly thrown this plain-looking black cauldron far away.

Now, what surprised Yang Lingchen immensely was that this black cauldron turned out to be a hidden Spiritual Artifact.

"It seems the Vast Heaven Jade's mysterious resonance wasn't wrong. This plain-looking broken cauldron is indeed no ordinary object."

"Master, I'm not a broken cauldron! I'm very powerful. Not only can I perform Alchemy and Artifact Refining, but I can also help Master in battle!" the black cauldron said impatiently, its tone full of pride.

"You can even fight? You're not joking, are you!" A hint of unbelievable surprise appeared on Yang Lingchen's face.

"Of course I can fight! Master can use me to smash people for fun! If you encounter danger, you can also hide inside to take shelter! My defense is indestructible and very strong!" the black cauldron said with an air of triumph.

"Smash people for fun?"

A line of black ink-like frustration appeared on Yang Lingchen's brow. He slowly walked around the black cauldron, then used all his strength to lift the huge, heavy black cauldron and swung it back and forth for a while.

"Damn, it seems it really can be used as a weapon. I just don't know how powerful it is. I'll test it out on Huangfu Haotian when I run into him another day."

"Uh, Artifact Spirit, do you have a name?" Yang Lingchen asked, his tone carrying a bit of curiosity.

"What is a name?" the black cauldron asked ignorantly.

"If you don't have one, forget it. From now on, you'll be called Xiao Hei!" Yang Lingchen said.

"Master, Xiao Hei sounds so bad!" Xiao Hei said, its voice carrying a hint of reluctance.

"Then how about Xiao Hua?" Yang Lingchen said with a smile, his eyes full of playfulness.

"Then let's stick with Xiao Hei!" The black cauldron helplessly accepted the name Xiao Hei.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen took out a mountain-like pile of Spirit Medicine and began Alchemy with full concentration.

With Xiao Hei's clever assistance, Yang Lingchen's Alchemy became even more proficient and effortless.

Time flew by like a white horse passing a gap, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these long and tense ten days, Yang Lingchen had been Cultivating diligently.

After these ten days of Cultivating day and night without food or sleep, he finally raised his cultivation to the Peak of the ninth layer of the King Realm.

Now, he was only one rare opportunity away from successfully breaking through to the Emperor Realm.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was fully focused on running the mysterious Vast Heaven Art, urging all the surging Profound Energy in his body to crazily charge at the sturdy barrier of the Emperor Realm.

After repeated persistent failures, Yang Lingchen finally broke a tiny opening in that insurmountable barrier.

"Break for me!"

Yang Lingchen let out a low, power-filled growl, then condensed all the vast Spiritual Qi in his body into a surging torrent and began a final, crazed assault on the first layer of the Emperor Realm.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

"First layer of the Emperor Realm!"

At this thrilling moment, Yang Lingchen finally succeeded in breaking through his cultivation to the first layer of the Emperor Realm.

Feeling the incredibly powerful force within his body, Yang Lingchen suddenly opened his deep, abyss-like eyes, and a sharp, piercing light flashed through them like lightning.

This great power brought him an unprecedented level of strong self-confidence.

At this moment, if Yang Lingchen encountered Huangfu Haotian and those representatives of the Central Province forces again, he had full confidence to wipe them all out and pull them up by the roots.

"Yang Lingchen, you've broken through?"

At this time, Xiao Qingyun walked over with light steps. She was currently wearing a sexy and charming thin gauze, her whole being exuding a heart-stirring, enchanting aura.

"Just broke through." Yang Lingchen nodded slightly and gently pulled Xiao Qingyun into his warm, broad embrace.

"I'm also about to Breakthrough." Xiao Qingyun looked at Yang Lingchen with those coquettish and moving eyes, her voice full of expectation.

"Then what are we waiting for?" A faint smile appeared on Yang Lingchen's face, a smile filled with deep affection and tenderness... Immortal Sword Sect.

Ouyang Qingcang's entire family and all the high-level members of the Immortal Sword Sect were all tied up on the vast, empty square of the Immortal Sword Sect.

"Huangfu Haotian, didn't you say that kid has a very good relationship with them? Why has it been so long, and yet that kid still hasn't come to rescue them?" Huang Zhongluan's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold.

"Let's wait a bit longer! Right now, we don't have a better way," Huangfu Haotian said in a heavy tone, his brow furrowed.

"That's all we can do. I hope that kid really has the heavenly martial divine pearl on him," Huang Zhongluan said with a hint of urgency in his tone.

"Brother Huang, I believe the news of the heavenly martial divine pearl is definitely true. The celestial phenomenon a while ago must have been caused by that kid. It's said that before that, the kid's cultivation was only at the eighth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet overnight, he actually broke through to the eighth layer of the King Realm. Do you think this is within the bounds of common sense?"

Another representative of the Central Province forces, Li Baiming, spoke with a deep gaze.

"What Brother Li says is very true. For now, we can only wait patiently. With that kid's arrogant and overbearing personality, I believe he must be lurking nearby. Everyone must be cautious and careful to prevent him from taking the chance to escape after rescuing them," Xiang Ningzheng said with a serious expression.

"With the strength of the four of us, as long as that kid dares to show himself, we will make sure he never returns," Huang Zhongluan said in a frigid tone, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
