Chapter 409 Lu Yuncong came to the Guiyuan Sect of Moro Continent

For the next period, Lin Che stayed with Wang Lin until the latter was ready to enter secluded cultivation, at which point Lin Che left and returned to Moruo Great Continent.

At this moment, above the Guiyuan Sect, Lu Yuncong, the Sect Master of the Zidao Sect, appeared in the air, his gaze coldly fixed on everyone present.

"Lu Yanfei, your Guiyuan Sect killed my Zidao Sect's Young Sect Master and stole my Zidao Sect's Heaven Yin Banner. Don't you know that the Heaven Yin Banner is a supreme treasure of the Divine Sect?"

Lu Yanfei, who was at the Nirvana Scrutiny stage, flew out, looking at Lu Yuncong, the Zidao Sect Master, who was at the Great Perfection of the Late Nirvana stage. A hint of apprehension flashed in her eyes.

After all, the current Guiyuan Sect was no longer a match for this Zidao Sect Master. If her master were still alive, perhaps the other party wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

But now… Lu Yanfei suppressed the unease in her heart, a light purple spiritual energy halo condensing at her fingertips, yet her voice remained steady.

"Sect Master Lu, there is still a misunderstanding regarding this matter. On the day your son died, the Guiyuan Sect was attacked by an unknown force. We also found no trace of the Heaven Yin Banner, so how can you speak of stealing it?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Lu Yuncong sneered and pressed his right hand down fiercely.

In an instant, the clouds outside the Guiyuan Sect's mountain gate surged, and dark spiritual energy poured down like a tide, enveloping the entire sect in a suffocating shadow.

Several Guiyuan Sect disciples tried to activate the mountain-protecting array, but they were shaken by the spiritual energy, spitting out blood and flying backward, crashing heavily into the stone pillars of the palace.

"Lu Yanfei, do you take this Sect Master for a three-year-old child?"

Lu Yuncong's voice carried a bone-chilling coldness as his gaze swept over the panicking disciples below.

"A few days ago, my Zidao Sect disciples personally saw the Heaven Yin Banner appear in the Guiyuan Sect's back mountain. Now you dare to lie through your teeth. Today, either you hand over the Heaven Yin Banner and the culprit, or this Sect Master will completely erase the Guiyuan Sect from this Moruo Great Continent!"

Before his words finished, Lu Yuncong flipped his left hand, and a completely black longsword appeared out of thin air. Wisps of chilling aura entwined around the sword body; it was precisely the Zidao Sect's heirloom treasure, the Soul Devouring Sword.

His cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Late Nirvana stage was released without reservation. The Guiyuan Sect's mountain-protecting array let out an unbearable hum, and the light on the array patterns dimmed at a visible speed.

Lu Yanfei's heart sank to the bottom. She knew very well that with the Guiyuan Sect's current strength, it could not withstand Lu Yuncong's full-power strike.

But she was the Guiyuan Sect's senior sister. Her master entrusted the sect to her before his death, and she absolutely could not let the Guiyuan Sect be destroyed in her hands.

"Sect Master Lu, the Heaven Yin Banner is indeed not in the Guiyuan Sect. If you insist on making a move, I, Lu Yanfei, am willing to face three of your moves with my own strength!"

Lu Yanfei gritted her teeth, her spiritual energy circulating frantically, and her Nirvana Scrutiny aura fully released. A longsword made of spiritual energy condensed in her hand.

"But I beg you, if you defeat me, spare the Guiyuan Sect disciples. They are all innocent!"

"Innocent?"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Lu Yuncong's eyes, and he said disdainfully, "When your Guiyuan Sect killed my Zidao Sect's Young Sect Master, why didn't you think he was innocent? Today, no one will live!"

With that, Lu Yuncong, holding the Soul Devouring Sword, flashed and slashed towards Lu Yanfei.

The dark sword light carried a world-destroying aura. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

Lu Yanfei's pupils contracted. Not daring to be careless in the slightest, she pushed her spiritual energy to the extreme and raised her sword to meet him.

"Bang!!"

The two swords collided, and a huge impact instantly spread out.

Lu Yanfei only felt a tremendous force, her arm went numb, and she was shaken back repeatedly, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Lu Yuncong, however, remained motionless, merely looking at her coldly, as if watching a dying person.

"You were injured on the first move, and you still dare to say you'll take three of my moves?"

Lu Yuncong sneered and swung his sword again. This strike was even swifter than before, the sword light streaking like a meteor, aiming directly for Lu Yanfei's vital points.

Lu Yanfei's heart tightened, knowing she couldn't dodge this sword at all.

She closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair. Was the Guiyuan Sect truly doomed today?

Just at this critical moment, a clear female voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Lu, bullying the weak like this is a bit too unsightly, isn't it?"

Immediately after, a white figure swept past like a startled swan, blocking in front of Lu Yanfei.

The person who arrived was Li Qianmei.

Li Qianmei held a white jade flute in her hand. With a gentle wave, a soft spiritual energy blocked the sword light of the Soul Devouring Sword.

Lu Yuncong frowned, his gaze falling on Li Qianmei, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Ninth-rank Heaven Breaking Sect, Li Qianmei?"

Li Qianmei smiled charmingly and said, "Brother Lu, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. Can we sit down and discuss it properly?"

Lu Yuncong frowned, but still gave Li Qianmei face, after all, the Heaven Breaking Sect's strength was not something he could contend with.

Moreover, the Li Qianmei in front of him was at the Nirvana Fragmentation realm. He, a mere Great Perfection of the Late Nirvana stage, could not possibly be her opponent.

Lu Yuncong's gaze lingered on Lin Che. After sensing the energy emanating from his body, deep apprehension appeared in his eyes… In the quiet bamboo pavilion in the back mountain of Guiyuan Sect.

Lu Yanfei personally poured tea for everyone, then retreated to the side, clearly indicating that the seniors in front of her were not to be easily provoked.

Seeing this, Li Qianmei replied as usual, "We all know about Lu Hai's death, but Lu Hai's death was well-deserved. You wouldn't blame us, would you?"

Lu Yuncong didn't like his son much; his death was nothing. But the sect's supreme treasure, the Heaven Yin Banner, being stolen was absolutely intolerable for their Zidao Sect.

Lu Yuncong's fingers repeatedly rubbed the rim of the teacup, the gloom in his eyes overpowering his apprehension towards Li Qianmei. His tone was firm and unyielding.

"Fellow Daoist Li, my son was unruly and his death is not to be regretted; my Zidao Sect accepts that. But the Heaven Yin Banner is a supreme treasure passed down by the Divine Sect, it is the foundation of my Zidao Sect's standing in the Moruo Continent. This item must be returned!"

Lu Yuncong's gaze swept over the three people in the bamboo pavilion, finally resting on Lu Yanfei, his tone chilling a few degrees.

"Lu Yanfei, with Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Lin here now, you should tell the truth, shouldn't you? Where exactly has your Guiyuan Sect hidden the Heaven Yin Banner?"

Lu Yanfei's face paled. Just as she was about to explain, Li Qianmei raised her hand and pressed her arm first.

Li Qianmei turned to look at Lin Che, who had remained silent by her side, her eyes carrying a hint of inquiry. Lin Che was the only one who knew the whereabouts of the Heaven Yin Banner from beginning to end.

Feeling their gazes, Lin Che slowly raised his eyes, his fingertips casually tracing the rim of the teacup, his voice as calm as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.
