Chapter 70: The Demon-Sweeping Heavenly Tome

This sudden scene caused everyone’s eyes to widen! Lu Jin had actually sliced off Mo Linghan’s head with a single move!

This!

Everyone was stunned. That was the Mo Family Scion of the Holy Land’s Four Great Families! Lu Jin dared to kill him? The Mo Family would never let him go, even to the ends of the earth!

This scene left even Chu Tianxiong staring in absolute shock. However, an unprecedented, almost foolish smile soon surfaced on his majestic face!

“Hahaha!”

“Lu Jin, you truly surprise this Seat! Little fellow, you are… You are truly a genius!”

Chu Tianxiong could not suppress his wild joy as he laughed uproariously! From Lu Jin bringing the antidote into the Devil’s Den to save him, to advancing from 1st-grade to 3rd-grade Jindan in such a short time, to moving through the Blood-Slaying Tiger-Subduing Array as if no one was there, and now instantly killing the peak Jindan Mo Linghan! Every single event was inconceivable; it was enough to make one’s jaw drop!

“The Sect Master praises me too highly. Your disciple merely killed a posturing brute.” Lu Jin smiled faintly and looked at Wan Helai and the others.

Gulp.

Wan Helai’s throat bobbed. He wanted to speak, but the only sound he made was the swallowing of his own saliva.

On the other side, Peak Master Qi and the group of rebel elders and disciples moved instantly, falling to their knees!

“Sect Master! Please spare our lives, Sect Master! It was Peak Master Wan who bewitched us; we truly did not wish to rebel against you!”

“Sect Master, spare us! I am just a disciple!”

“It is all Wan Helai, that bastard’s fault! He threatened our lives to force us to rebel! Forgive us, Sect Master!”

The entire group knelt on the ground. They had no choice. Even a Heaven-tier grand array could not subdue these two. In the eyes of Lu Jin and Chu Tianxiong, their group was truly nothing but a pack of useless trash.

“No! It wasn’t me!” Wan Helai was currently bound by a chain of Chu Tianxiong’s spiritual Qi and suspended in mid-air. He trembled all over, his eyes filled with terror, yet he still tried to struggle. “Sect Master! It wasn’t me! It was Mo Linghan! He wanted the treasures in your hands, so he bewitched me into killing you!”

Hearing Wan Helai’s words, Chu Tianxiong could not help but laugh. “Wan Helai, you are the Peak Master of the first peak of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect. What, do you lack the courage to admit what you have done?”

Chu Tianxiong’s gaze turned freezing cold. He suddenly shouted, “Chai Quan is dead, and Ji Yaoyue is dead as well. You all are truly excellent Peak Masters of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect!”

“You claim Mo Linghan bewitched you? What a joke! To think you would even utter such a lame excuse. Why not just admit that the Blood Moon Ancestor stands behind you!”

The moment the words “Blood Moon Ancestor” were spoken, everyone’s eyes trembled!

Wan Helai’s face twitched violently, but then he burst into loud laughter. “Chu Tianxiong! So you know I am working for the Ancestor!”

“Across the entirety of Qingzhou, the Ancestor is heaven itself! I work for the heavens. Chu Tianxiong, how dare you kill me!”

“Furthermore, you killed the Mo Family Scion, Mo Linghan! The Mo Family will definitely grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!”

Watching Wan Helai’s savage face and listening to his roars, Chu Tianxiong merely waved his large sleeve. “Noisy!”

Bang!

A burst of spiritual power erupted, instantly blowing Wan Helai’s flesh and blood body into a mist of blood!

This scene utterly paralysed the group, kneeling and begging for mercy! Peak Master Qi was no exception!

Trembling violently, he suddenly crawled forward two paces on his knees and forced a fawning smile. “So the Sect Master has already advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm!”

“Congratulations to the Sect Master on advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm!”

Chu Tianxiong’s gaze grew cold. “Aside from Lu Jin, everyone else who knows my true cultivation is dead. Peak Master Qi, you are no exception!”

Spiritual power whistled from his sleeve. As Peak Master Qi tumbled backwards, he was reduced to a mist of blood. The group of elders and disciples behind him met the same fate, dying without even a fragment of bone left behind.

The terror of the Purple Mansion Realm caused even Lu Jin’s pupils to shrink slightly. He could tell that Chu Tianxiong’s cultivation was not merely at the initial stages of the Purple Mansion Realm. As for exactly how many transformations he had reached, even Lu Jin could not discern it!

After wiping out this group, Chu Tianxiong did not look particularly pleased. Instead, he let out a long sigh. “The Blood Moon Holy Land’s infiltration is incredibly deep. To think several Peak Masters of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect would fall because of this…”

Lu Jin replied: “The Sect Master does not need to grieve. The Blood Moon Ancestor can only infiltrate and bewitch those with weak wills. Did the Sect Master not also suffer from the Blood Moon Curse? Yet you endured silently for years without changing your original heart. That is the mark of a true hero!”

Hearing Lu Jin’s words, Chu Tianxiong laughed loudly again. “Hahaha!”

“Lu Jin! You truly make this Seat view you in a new light!”

“Meeting you in this lifetime is this Seat’s greatest fortune!”

Chu Tianxiong patted Lu Jin’s shoulder with an expression of open, unrestrained freedom. “My ability to walk out of the Devil’s Den alive today is entirely due to your efforts. If you ever have a use for this Seat’s life, take it at any time!”

Lu Jin immediately cupped his hands. “The Sect Master must be joking. As a disciple, it is my duty to respect my masters and honour the Dao. You are an elder this disciple respects; saving you is my honour!”

Seeing Lu Jin’s earnestness, Chu Tianxiong smiled and nodded. “Lu Jin, this Seat is not joking with you. The grace of saving my life will be repaid like a gushing spring!”

“However, since you have no use for this Seat’s life, how about accepting this cultivation manual instead?”

Finishing his sentence, Chu Tianxiong flipped his hand and produced a pitch-black manual, offering it to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin lowered his head and saw the characters written upon it. “Demon-Sweeping Heavenly Tome?”

A layer of black spiritual Qi lingered over the entire manual. Just looking at the writing on the cover gave Lu Jin a bizarre sensation.

“Sect Master, what is this?” Lu Jin asked in confusion.

“This Demon-Sweeping Heavenly Tome was obtained by this Seat through a stroke of fortune in a secret realm. I do not know the exact grade of this manual, because despite cultivating for many years, I have not even been able to comprehend the lowest of its three layers.”

“Based on my guesses, this manual should be at or above the Emperor-tier!”

At these words, Lu Jin’s eyes flickered. An Emperor-tier manual would be incredibly difficult to find in all of Qingzhou!

However, he was only slightly surprised. Possessing supreme techniques like the Great Transformation Dragon Art and the Hell-Prisoner Calamity Sword, he naturally wouldn’t be deeply shocked by a mere Emperor-tier manual.

Yet his calm expression caused Chu Tianxiong to pause. The Sect Master’s eyes shifted, but he said nothing about it.

“Lu Jin, the battle skills of the Demon-Sweeping Heavenly Tome can suppress and counter evil and demonic arts. If you can cultivate it to great mastery, then even if you encounter the Blood Moon Ancestor one day, you will have nothing to fear!”

Chu Tianxiong’s expression was incredibly serious when he said this. However, as soon as he finished, he suddenly gave an awkward smile, even attempting to explain himself. “Ah, well, Lu Jin, this Seat does not actually hope you encounter the Blood Moon Ancestor. This Seat just meant…”

But Lu Jin grinned. “What, does the Sect Master not believe this disciple can avenge my Shifu?”

That single sentence answered the deep-seated concerns in Chu Tianxiong’s heart. Chu Tianxiong looked up, clearly not expecting Lu Jin to say such a thing.

He nodded solemnly, his voice even more serious than before. “This Seat believes in you!”

Lu Jin laughed aloud. “Sect Master, several major Peak Masters of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are dead now. It is a troubled time. We should hurry back.”

Chu Tianxiong nodded and soared into the sky!

“By the way, these are some insights I gained from cultivating the Demon-Sweeping Heavenly Tome. You should find them useful.”

“This is Mo Linghan’s spatial ring. These are the spatial rings of Peak Master Wan, Peak Master Qi, and the rest. Lu Jin, take them all. Oh, and take this Blood-Slaying Tiger-Subduing Array as well…”

“And this too…”

Lu Jin remained speechless for a moment before replying: “Sect Master, you must have drained all your accumulated wealth while in the Devil’s Den, right? You should keep these. Your disciple does not lack…”

Chu Tianxiong interrupted: “Take them! If you don’t take them, you are looking down on this Seat! You are looking down on Chu Tianxiong!”

Lu Jin could say no more.

Along the journey, Chu Tianxiong kept handing over good things endlessly. Lu Jin could not refuse and could only accept them with a smile.

Xianwu Island.

Within the Beast-Tamer Grand Formation, leading to the Medicine King Secret Realm.

“Blood! Give me blood!”

A hoarse voice shrieked. A woman clad in blood-red robes walked slowly through a field littered with the mangled corpses of demonic beasts. The ground was coated in beast blood as thick as glue, yet she scooped it up handful by handful, swallowing it into her stomach!
