The Black Water Sect and Chu Ming had some unpleasant history. If Chu Ming were to break through to the Realm of Transcendence in the future and settle scores, the Black Water Sect would not be able to bear it. "Oh, I must thank Brother Qing Yu then." A sharp glint flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes. In fact, even if the Black Water Sect hadn’t come today, after consolidating the three Sects of the Great Yan Kingdom, he would have had to go to the Celestial River Kingdom. Relying solely on the power of the Great Yan Kingdom was far from enough to fight the demonic organizations in the ten kingdoms. At least fifty Guiyuan Realm experts needed to be assembled to have confidence in countering the demonic organizations of the ten kingdoms. This time, the Black Water Sect not only brought three Guiyuan Realm experts but also over fifty True Dao Realm Elders, showing great sincerity. Not long after the Black Water Sect settled at Snow Peak, the Beihua Sect from the Celestial River Kingdom also came upon hearing the news. The leader was none other than the Beihua Sect Ancestor, who had once met Chu Ming. Back then, he had killed all the Red Bandits in one move on the Beihua Sect’s flying ship, with overpowering strength. "Lord Chu!" The Beihua Sect Ancestor, known as Daoist Black Feather, wore fluttering white clothes, with a touch of worry between his brows. Frankly, the Beihua Sect didn’t want to get involved; the Celestial Travel Sect and the demonic organizations were not something the Beihua Sect could provoke. However, there was no choice. The Black Water Sect had already shown goodwill to Chu Ming, and if they were slower, it could be disastrous. This time, Beihua Sect also brought three Guiyuan Realm experts. Daoist Black Feather was at the Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer, while the other two were at the Guiyuan Realm Third Layer. At this moment, there were already a dozen Guiyuan Realm experts gathered at Snow Peak. Among the ten kingdoms, their power was undoubtedly ranked first. After all, the ten kingdoms were a remote area, and forces like the Black Water Sect and Beihua Sect were already at the pinnacle within the ten kingdoms. That day, Chu Ming summoned Wang Qi, feeling that the time was ripe. "Is there a demonic organization stronghold in the Great Yan Kingdom?" Chu Ming asked indifferently. He didn’t intend to control all the forces of the ten kingdoms before taking action; that would be too time-consuming. Relying on battles to sustain battles was the most fundamental approach. "My lord, according to the reports, the demonic organizations in the Great Yan Kingdom have all withdrawn. Now, there is a stronghold in the Celestial River Kingdom with four Guiyuan Realm experts!" Wang Qi bowed his head with clasped fists, speaking respectfully. Snow Peak was the base of the Celestial Travel Sect and naturally had its own intelligence network. Moreover, the demonic organizations attempted to plant spies in the righteous sects, while the Celestial Travel Sect also planted spies within the demonic organizations. "You may leave." Chu Ming said calmly, and Wang Qi withdrew respectfully. Two hours later, at the border of the Great Yan Kingdom and the Celestial River Kingdom, seven figures flew towards the Celestial River Kingdom. In the blink of an eye, they covered hundreds of miles. Strong winds blew, white clothes fluttered fiercely. The one in the lead was Chu Ming, with handsome features and a face like chiseled stone. Behind him were six old ancestors from the Black Water Sect and Beihua Sect of the Celestial River Kingdom. This trip, Chu Ming intended to directly eradicate the demonic stronghold in the Celestial River Kingdom. An hour later, the seven arrived at a towering mountain range. Withered branches covered the area, the ground was cracked, and black water streams occasionally emerged from the mountain base, containing a corrosive aura. "My lord, this is the Evil Wolf Mountain Range. The Blood Hand Association has a stronghold here!" Daoist Black Feather said respectfully. In fact, the Blood Hand Association’s stronghold in the Celestial River Kingdom wasn’t a secret to the Black Water Sect and Beihua Sect. After all, both sects were deeply rooted in the Celestial River Kingdom and had significant control over the region. However, the Blood Hand Association’s stronghold had four Guiyuan Realm experts. Though not a match for either the Black Water Sect or Beihua Sect alone, it was still a tough nut to crack. Whoever acted first would grant the other an advantage, which was why the Blood Hand Association had remained until now. Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Just as Chu Ming and the others stood in mid-air, four black-robed martial artists flew out from the mountain range, confronting the seven. "Who goes there?" A powerful voice came from the leading black-robed person. "Chu Ming!" Chu Ming lightly stroked the Conjugate Sword, which immediately vibrated, emitting tiny white Sword Essence. Though the sword was not yet drawn, its Sword Momentum already enveloped the four. "So you are Chu Ming?!" The leader’s face changed dramatically, exclaiming in surprise. He glanced at the six behind Chu Ming, and his eyes filled with apprehension. "Kill!" Chu Ming shouted, drawing the Conjugate Sword. A red Sword Aura directly slashed through the void towards the four! The Slaughter Sword Intent exploded! The Immortal Sword Intent exploded! With a single stroke, Chu Ming slashed straight and true, like a meteor falling from the void, mixed with endless Sword Force, bursting instantly. Puff! Puff! Puff... Among the four, two were instantly struck down by Chu Ming, while the other two remained in mid-air, though their clothing was tattered, looking somewhat disheveled. These two were Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer experts. Swish! Swish! Swish! The six behind Chu Ming simultaneously moved. Daoist Black Feather and Daoist Qing Yu each faced one Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer expert, while Chu Ming lightly patted the Sky Eagle beneath him, which let out a high-pitched cry and pounced on one of the Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer experts. Meanwhile, Chu Ming drew his sword, slashing towards one of the Guiyuan Realm Third Layer martial artists. At this moment, his combat strength was significantly stronger than most Guiyuan Realm Third Layer martial artists but not yet comparable to Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer experts. Swish! The black-robed martial artist drew a black long saber from his back, the right hand gripping the saber while the left hand lightly stroked it, a black gleam emanating from the blade! Swish! Swish! Swish! The black-robed martial artist spun, his black long saber leaving a blur, slashing out over a dozen times in an instant, with terrifying black Sword Aura tearing through the space! Clang! Clang! Clang! Chu Ming swung the Conjugate Sword in defiance, instantly forming a Sword Curtain before him, with invisible streams of light flashing on its surface. Crack! Crack! Black Sword Aura struck the Sword Curtain continuously, shattering it, with the remaining Sword Force quickly splattering towards the surroundings, piercing the air and forming a white circle of light. "Yin Wave Palm!" Chu Ming’s eyes flashed, his body turning into a wisp of blue smoke. When he reappeared, he was already beside the black-robed martial artist. Boom! A blue palm seal burst from his hand, creating a faint blue gravitational vortex around it, with layers of Palm Force rapidly stacking. In an instant, it reached over seventy layers. This was indeed the fourth technique of the Yin Wave Palm, capable of stacking up to eighty-one layers of Palm Force. "Bloodthirsty Blade Technique!" Fear flashed in the eyes of the black-robed martial artist, and he hastily swung his saber. A bloody slash transformed into a shining streak, breaking through the air and slashing towards the vortex before Chu Ming.
