Chapter 54 - It’s Exciting to Run Away After Putting on an Act

The first Sect Leader of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

These few simple words seemed to have some form of magical power. In an instant, everyone held their breaths.

“You… how… is that possible?”

The fat middle-aged man took a step back with a look of disbelief on his face.

Which era was the first Sect Leader of the Thousand Autumn Valley from?

He was the strongest person 700 years ago. Using his own ability, he created the glorious and most important holy land and ruled over an entire era. Even the current prosperous Xuanwu imperial court had to act in accordance with his wishes!

All the people here, the divine beings of the later generations, had grown up listening to the legends of that person.

However, a young man had suddenly appeared. He had killed the Tianjue Sect Master with a raise of his hand. Now, he even declared that he wanted to send all of them to hell together!

“No… it’s impossible…”

Another Dao Platform Realm cultivator shook his head, his eyes filled with fear as he shouted, “It’s been 700 years, you’ve been dead for 700 years! Even your primal core would have been reduced to dust, it’s impossible for you to reappear in this world!”

A period of 700 years was a very long time, and it was more than sufficient to exhaust the lifespan of a Primal Core Realm cultivator and cause a holy land to fall from grace!

However, at this moment, the man in the legends claimed to have reappeared.

The young man had a smile on his face and he exuded an aura that made it difficult to look at him. He walked over from the forest slowly while taking majestic steps, as if he had walked from the past into the present and stepped out from a legend into reality!

“Primal Core Realm? I’m no longer at that stage!”

Feng Xia shook his head casually. At the same time, he quietly raised his hand and gestured to Zhu Youniang who was hiding nearby.

The gesture meant something simple. It was a secret signal that he had agreed on with the young girl before leaving the Thousand Autumn Valley.

It meant—

On the count of three, get me out of here!

As for the matter about being the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley… it did not take a genius to know that he was bluffing.

However, there was no other way.

Why did he have to bump into the Tianjue Sect Master the moment he came out from underground?

The scene at that time was comparable to some television dramas where the male lead accidentally bumped into the female lead at an inconvenient time for him. In particular, Feng Xia was muttering a sentence repeatedly at that moment.

“I’m Mo Yin, I’m Mo Yin… I’m being hunted down by a Primal Core Realm cultivator….”

In the end, when he looked up, he saw the Tianjue Sect Master staring at him with a dark expression as if he had seen the person who murdered his father!

Feng Xia knew that the situation was not in his favor and chose to strike first. Without a word, he planted a huge pile of Primordial Green Lotuses on the head of the Tianjue Sect Master. Then, he used the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique and the Sword-Heart Integration together…

Then, Zhu Youniang poisoned the Tianjue Sect Master from behind.

As Feng Xia had appeared suddenly and a fierce battle broke out the moment they met, the Tianjue Sect Master was unaware that there was actually another person hiding in the dark!

“I’ve sinned, I’ve sinned. I want to be like those protagonists in novels, fighting fierce battles over disagreements. Unfortunately, my current overall strength is at most equivalent to someone who has just entered the Dao Platform Realm…”

The Tianjue Sect Master was a veteran Dao Platform Realm cultivator. He was definitely much stronger than Feng Xia.

After apologizing insincerely, Feng Xia continued to maintain his image as an expert.

At the same time, he was getting more and more aware that his biggest weakness was undoubtedly his lack of cultivation!

Every single one of the techniques he had mastered could be considered to be extremely powerful. When he activated them with all his might, he could even contend against Dao Platform Realm cultivators. The only problem was that his true cultivation level was too weak. When he fought, he was generally just a one-trick pony…

After unleashing a series of attacks, if the enemy did not die, then I would die in front of you.

“As a man, I must be able to sustain for a long time… I have to think of a way to have a breakthrough as soon as possible.”

Feng Xia thought while feeling amused.

By launching a surprise attack coupled with great speed… he took down the Tianjue Sect Master on the spot. By doing that, he had also basically used up all his strength. The reason why he walked out at this time and pretended to be the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley was to scare the enemies in the distance and buy himself time to recover his strength.

Otherwise, if a large group of veteran Dao Platform Realm cultivators charged over…

In any case, he was very sure he would definitely not be able to withstand it.

“You… You have surpassed the Primal Core Realm?!”

Upon hearing what Feng Xia said, the expressions of the Dao Platform Realm cultivators on the altar changed again. Almost immediately, they thought about the legend of the Thousand Autumn Valley. It was said that the first Sect Master of the valley had stepped into the realm above the Primal Core Realm and left behind the corresponding supreme inheritance within the Thousand Autumn Valley!

For hundreds of years, the Xuanwu imperial court had plotted repeatedly so as to obtain that inheritance!

If he had surpassed the Primal Core Realm…

Then it was not surprising for him to have lived for more than 700 years.

They were unable to imagine the kind of divine power and divine abilities that one could have in that cultivation realm that they only heard about in the legends.

“S-Senior…”

The fat middle-aged man squeezed out a smile with much difficulty, although it made him look even uglier than if he was crying. “We… we were actually just… passing by…”

Facing an old monster from 700 years ago who had surpassed the Primal Core Realm, they could not even muster the will to fight back!

“Just passing by? Do you really think I’m blind?”

Feng Xia’s smile suddenly turned cold. Brilliant divine light burst out from his eyes, like a divine sword unsheathed. In front of everyone, a magnificent scroll painting about the Ways of the Sword unfolded!

In the painting, there was a bright moon hanging high in the sky, reflecting the surging river below.

With the passage of time, the spring wind turned into rain and the autumn wind turned cold.

There were also thunderclaps that tore through the air, passing through the process of life and death and opening up a path forward.

At this moment, the three sword techniques of the Thousand Autumn Valley were all condensed into a painting!

The painting floated in the air, emitting a boundless murderous intent that enveloped every figure on the altar. The sword light was dazzling, as if it could illuminate their faces and reflect the secrets that were hidden in the depths of their souls.

“No …”

The group of Dao Platform Realm cultivators showed looks of despair.

Time seemed to have slowed down. They could clearly see the sword light evolving as they watched. Finally, it changed into a few fatal symbols.





“… …”

“… … … …”

“Wait! Wait a minute! Don’t tell me… don’t tell me…”

The fat middle-aged man was the first to come back to his senses. When he opened his eyes carefully, he realized that the mysterious young man in the distance had already disappeared without a trace!

The overwhelming killing sword had also long disappeared, as if the desperate situation they faced just now was simply an illusion.

In the next moment, a furious roar came from the depths of the forest, completely confirming his guess.

“Damn thief! How dare you sneak an attack on me! Come out…”

“If I don’t kill you, I swear I shall not live!”

In the blink of an eye, the expressions of the few Dao Platform Realm Champions became exceptionally interesting.

No one noticed that the previously unconscious thin young man had sat up at some point in time. In the depths of his eyes, there was now a strange divine light.
