Chapter 613: The Tempest Sword Sovereign, Li Celong’s Scheme, the Sealed Toxin Sovereign

In the Sword Tribe.

After learning what Chu Kuangren did in the Holy Light’s Ancestral Land, the Sword Tribe Leader’s mood turned sour. He could even be described as depressed.

The Sword Tribe had a huge grudge against Chu Kuangren.

However, their opponent had become so strong that he could now kill Sovereigns.

As for people with that kind of strength, there were only less than a handful in their Sword Tribe.

“D*mn it, d*mn it!”

“How could his strength increase so quickly? Has all the luck in this world been given to him?”

The Sword Tribe Leader’s expression was incredibly grim.

With the imminent appearance of the Emperor’s Throne in this Era of Great Battles, countless sky-prides had been appearing everywhere.

However, only Chu Kuangren alone stood invincible. His glory had completely overshadowed every other sky-pride in this world.

It was truly unbelievable.

The more the Sword Tribe Leader thought about it, the worse his head hurt.

Deep down, he was starting to regret it.

Did the Sword Tribe make a mistake?

Should he not have allowed the Sword Daoist to provoke that person?

Boom…

At this moment, the Sword Tribe started to tremble.

From the depths of the Sword Tribe, a ray of sword ray rose into the sky, and an overwhelming surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme instantly spread across the Sword Tribe.

All of a sudden, thousands of swords echoed!

“This aura… the Tempest Sword Sovereign has come out from the ancestral land!”

The Sword Tribe Leader’s face lit up with delight.

The sword ray in the sky gradually faded away, revealing a slender figure. It was a handsome middle-aged man in grey robes, with a simple sword hanging from his waist.

This person was the Tempest Sword Sovereign that the Sword Tribe Leader was talking about.

The strongest Sovereign in the Sword Tribe!

The Tempest Sword Sovereign took a step forward and immediately arrived at the Sword Tribe’s Palace Hall.

“I want the current Sword Tribe Leader to see me now.”

His indifferent voice contained a hint of chilling energy.

The Sword Tribe Leader quickly walked out to meet him with a few elders. They looked at the Tempest Sword Sovereign excitedly and bowed respectfully to him.

“Greetings, great Tempest Sword Sovereign. Congratulations on refining the Divine Pardon Order. You shall no longer be restricted by the laws of the Emperor Road.”

“Hmm, where’s our tribe’s outlawed sky-pride?”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign asked.

The Sword Tribe Leader’s expression turned grim upon hearing that.

Noticing the change in his expressions, the Tempest Sword Sovereign’s gaze sank as he asked once more. “Current Sword Tribe Leader, tell me. Where’s our tribe’s outlawed sky-pride now?”

“Our tribe’s outlawed sky-pride… is dead!”

The Sword Tribe Leader replied through gritted teeth.

At that, a menacing sword aura instantly erupted and slammed the Sword Tribe Leader and the other elders onto the ground.

“You imbeciles! How can Sword Tribe stand a chance to gain the Emperor’s Throne in this era with our outlawed sky-pride dead? Tell me, how did he die?!”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign was seething with so much rage that the surrounding clouds, winds, mountains, and rivers trembled as his mood changed.

The Sword Tribe Leader soon told him everything that had happened.

“Chu Kuangren?”

“What a surprise that such an outlier has appeared in this era.”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign’s aura gradually calmed down.

However, the murderous intent in his eyes did not recede at all. Instead, his gaze grew fiercer after knowing who killed the Sword Daoist.

He was not afraid of that person’s strength.

During his era, he was also an outlawed sky-pride. Armed with a single sword, no one had dared to compete against him at that time.

Having lived for so many years, he believed he could defeat Chu Kuangren in a fight.

No matter how overpowered Chu Kuangren was, he had only lived for dozens of years. On the other hand, the Tempest Sword Sovereign was an outlawed Sovereign that had lived for thousands of years!!

“Very well, Chu Kuangren. Find me the whereabouts of this person at once. The Sword Tribe shall not let this matter slide easily.”

The Tempest Sword Sovereign ordered coldly.

Then, he then turned into a sword ray and left.

Besides the Sword Tribe, the Sovereigns from other archaic orthodoxies that had obtained Divine Pardon Orders from the Forbidden Barren Wasteland also left their ancestral lands respectively.

After leaving their ancestral lands, the first thing those Sovereigns did was to get up to date with the current situation at hand. Soon, all of them had learned about Chu Kuangren.

Every Sovereign was shocked that such an outlier had appeared in this era.

As for those who held grudges with Chu Kuangren like the Sword Tribe, they were not only shocked but furious as well.

For example, the Bai clan and Demonic Tribe.

Inside a strange dark forest shrouded in mist, sudden footsteps echoed from it.

It was a young man.

If anyone from the Seven Emotions Sect were here, they would surely recognize this person.

That person was Li Celong.

The person who did not hesitate to murder his teacher to kill Chu Kuangren.

Killing Chu Kuangren had seemingly become an obsession for him. However, Chu Kuangren had been getting stronger by the day. Now, he could even go on a rampage in the Holy Light’s Ancestral Land, kill almost all the Sovereigns there, and then leave without a single scratch on him.

On the other hand, Li Celong was not even an outlawed sky-pride. How could someone like him fight Chu Kuangren?

“He is the only one I can rely on now!”

Li Celong took out a wooden box and mumbled.

He knew that making contact with that being hastily was no doubt an incredibly crazy and risky act, but he was left with no other choice.

As long as he could kill Chu Kuangren, he would do anything.

Li Celong held the wooden box tightly with a determined look in his eyes. Then, he walked toward the depths of the forest without hesitation.

When he arrived at a cave entrance with countless seals and restrictions around it, he took out a piece of jade from the box and threw it inside to unlock the seals.

Upon releasing the seals, a grey mist surged out from the cave. The surrounding plants and trees that came into contact with that mist instantly withered and crumbled away. Li Celong could not help but take a few steps back as well.

“The Toxic Plague Physique, ranked one of the top-thirty Supreme Daoist Physiques, is quite a terrifying physique indeed. Its energy is still so frightening despite having been sealed by the Daoist Forefather using the Wood Dragon Needles.”

Li Celong said fearfully.

Then, he took a poison resistant pill and entered the cave.

After arriving deep inside the cave, he saw a thin, frail figure being held in chains. Six chains were holding that person in place — four restraining his limbs and two around his shoulder blades, sealing the power of his physique.

The ends of those six chains were connected to the mountain wall, with several runes glowing faintly on them. It was clear that those were no ordinary chains.

“Oh, are you guys here to collect blood again?”

That frail figure suddenly lifted his head.

It was an old man with sunken eyes. When he looked at Li Celong, his eyes were extremely cold, like a ghost’s.

Li Celong felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly greeted the person with a fist salute. “Greetings, Toxin Sovereign. I’m Li Celong.”

The thin frail man snorted. “That old b*st*rd Mu Longzi was the one who sealed me here. For the past several thousand years, he and his successors have been collecting blood from my body to create various poisons for countless times now.”

“The ones who usually come are either cowards or arrogant fools, yet this is the first that someone has been so respectful. What are you guys up to now?”

Mu Longzi was the progenitor of Li Celong’s school of Daoism.

During his time, he had discovered the Toxin Sovereign and sealed him away. From that day onwards, Mu Longzi had been using the poisonous blood from his body to develop various poisons.

After his death, Mu Longzi’s successors continued this tradition. Every once in a while, they would come to collect the Toxin Sovereign’s blood.

“I’m not here to collect your blood but to release you from these bonds, Toxin Sovereign,” Li Celong said.

“Oh.”

The Toxin Sovereign’s eyes lit upon hearing this. However, he did not look too excited, and instead, he asked, “For what reason?”

“I want you to kill someone for me, senior.”

“Oh, who is it?”

“I’ll tell you once you agree to this.”

“Hehe, as long as you free me and it’s within the restrictions of Emperor Road, I won’t mind killing anyone for you, even if you ask me to kill the Sovereigns from those archaic orthodoxies.”

The Toxin Sovereign revealed a creepy smile. He had dreamed of being free for far too long.

As long as he could be free, he would be fine with killing anyone.

“Very well. First, you’ll need to make a heavenly oath.”

“Sure.”
