Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Encounter with the Half-Demon Again (Please Follow) Within the Mu Family stronghold, fierce battles erupted everywhere. It was extremely gruesome. The martial artists of the Mu Family were fearless and would fight to the death, some of their eyes even glowed red. Li Qian couldn’t help but remember the half-demon and the other four martial artists he encountered in Taiping County. Their eyes seemed to be red too. "Could it be that they are part of the same force? That being the case... could it be that the force is likely the Moon Worship Sect?" Li Qian followed Senior Brother Gu and others, sneakily observing the surroundings and occasionally lending a hand... Moon Worship Sect. A force that once incited a rebellion in the Southeast Eight States of the Dachang Dynasty. Dachang took several years to completely suppress it. It seems now that the force has not been completely eradicated but rather has hidden itself in the shadows. "Zhao Yun, you old eunuch, why are you so fixated on my Mu Family?" At this moment, a loud and long howl suddenly resounded, shaking the wilderness, with the sound waves causing pain to the eardrums of lower-cultivation Postnatal Martial Artists. "Mu Guanying, don’t think just because you’ve hidden yourself well, our house doesn’t know you are the remnants of Moon Worship Sect, prepare to die." A sharp and icy voice sounded. Immediately after, intense fighting noise broke out. "The strongest are only two top Grandmaster level?" Li Qian sensed the commotion and made his judgment. No wonder Divine Sword Sect only sent them; the strongest among them was only Grandmaster level Senior Brother Gu, and none of the elder-level or real power elders were mobilized. There was simply no need. After a while, accompanied by a sharp, piercing scream that abruptly stopped: "Ha ha ha...." A hearty laughter resounded, gradually diminishing until it disappeared completely. Li Qian knew that the two top Grandmasters had died together. A very brutal death. Suddenly, a red shadow shot toward the people of Divine Sword Sect. "Scatter!" Senior Brother Gu, with an amputated arm, let out a low shout, his long sword vibrating vigorously to intercept the red shadow. It was a horrifying figure, like a ghastly ghost with sharp bone spurs protruding from the wrists, back, shoulders, and other places, enveloped in a faint red, bloody aura. Swoosh swoosh swoosh... Streaks of red light blossomed, tearing through the air with incredible speed. Senior Brother Gu wielded his long sword to defend. For a moment, he seemed to be slightly at a disadvantage. No one else dared to approach. "A half-demon?" Li Qian looked at this terrifying red shadow, his face showing surprise. Moreover, the strength of this half-demon seemed to be somewhat stronger than the one he had encountered before. "With the strength of Senior Brother Gu, he should be able to handle it." freēwēbηovel.c૦m Like everyone else on the periphery, Li Qian assessed the strength of the half-demon. After a dozen exchanges, Senior Brother Gu suddenly pushed back the half-demon with a sword strike, and the second sword on his back was swiftly unsheathed. The smaller sword, led by chains, moved like a flying sword, leaving a trail as it shot down from the sky. Li Qian watched Senior Brother Gu’s manipulation of the Flying Sword Technique, and couldn’t help but marvel. It had to be said that Senior Brother Gu’s Dual Sword Technique was extremely exquisite, already reaching a peak level of mastery. Thud! The half-demon was too slow to dodge and was pierced through the heart by the flying sword. Since half-demons have an extremely strong vitality, it struggled for a moment before falling down; the red light in its eyes gradually faded, and the body shrunk, eventually becoming a woman and ceasing to breathe. Phew! Senior Brother Gu propped himself up with his sword, exhaling deeply. If it weren’t for his exceptionally tricky Flying Sword Technique, it would not have been easy for him to kill this half-demon. Half an hour later. The entire Mu Family stronghold was thoroughly cleansed. Corpses lay everywhere. Many buildings were ablaze. Except for the people from Dragon Guard Temple, the others in black began to retreat. "We’re leaving." Senior Brother Gu knew the mission was complete and immediately led the Divine Sword Sect’s members to retreat. After distancing themselves from the Mu Family Fort, upon reaching the place where the horses were tied, Senior Brother Gu said, "The mission has ended, let’s return overnight." And so, a line of people rode their horses and galloped away. .... On a hilltop a thousand meters away from the Mu Family Fort. A dozen or so figures stopped, looking towards the distant fire reaching the skies of the Mu Family Fort. "Grandfather..." "Father." "Mother...." A few were whispering in tears. The eyes of the black-clothed woman, the Holy Envoy, hidden beneath the veil, were cold as ice. "Dragon Guard Temple, the Chai Royal Family, the Dachang Dynasty... one day, my Holy Sect will kick you off your high clouds down to the mortal dust." She murmured to herself. .... Baibi City. Li Mansion. Bustling with activity. Today is the fiftieth birthday banquet organized for the second master of the Li Family, Li Donglin. As a family of scholars and officials, the Li Family had many colleagues and students, and they set up dozens of tables. Li Donglin was in the main hall, accompanying a table of esteemed guests, at least peers or even superiors to him. "Brother Li, today is your fiftieth birthday, why is your eldest son not seen?" A colleague had drunk a few extra glasses and suddenly asked. Li Donglin’s face stiffened slightly, just about to speak, when his second son Li Kun, who was standing by serving, quickly said: "Uncle He, my brother is cultivating in a great sect and really cannot get away..." "I heard your eldest son is an Inner Sect Disciple of Divine Sword Sect? This is the largest Martial Arts Sect in Sword State, with a limitless future ahead." "Brother Li, this is really a joyous occasion, it’s very possible that the Li Family will become a Martial Arts Family in the future..." "In this world, Martial Arts Cultivation is much stronger than us who only dabble in literature and arts." Others joined the conversation. As members of the bureaucracy, they might appear as high officials to the commoners, but compared to martial artists from great sects, they were hardly worth mentioning. Now the Li Family had an Inner Sect Disciple from the Divine Sword Sect, which was essentially like having a foothold in a major Martial Arts Sect, no longer just an ordinary bureaucratic family. In the territories of Divine Sword Sect, except for the governors appointed by the government, many key officials had intricate relationships with the Divine Sword Sect. After all, the Dachang Dynasty was a nation governed jointly by the Imperial Family, various princes, and major Martial Arts Sects. Even during the times when the Dachang Dynasty had the strongest control, the court still had to govern the local states and counties through the prince’s mansions and Martial Arts Sects. While everyone was toasting and entertaining, suddenly a servant from the Li Mansion rushed in, his expression incredibly excited, "Master... the... the eldest young master... has returned..." "What?" Li Donglin heard this and suddenly stood up, "Qian has come back?" His face revealed a delighted expression, and he hurriedly walked towards the outside of the main hall, forgetting to greet the distinguished guests at the table, clearly quite flustered. "Brother has returned?" Li Kun was first stunned, then quickly followed suit. ..... Li Qian, with a sword on his back, walked through the Li Mansion, observing the lively scene. This was his first time returning to Li Mansion since his rebirth. "This body’s father is holding a fiftieth birthday banquet?" He briefly recalled and immediately understood. At the beginning of the year, the steward had come to the Divine Sword Sect to inform him of this. At that time, he had no intention of returning. After completing the secret mission, on the way back, he used the excuse of returning home to see his family to split up with Senior Brother Gu and others. In this way, he had a reason for obtaining a treasure map to take back. After all, he was still thinking about avoiding next year’s Inner Sect tasks, right? ....
