Inverse Sword Mad God-Chapter 1476 - 1474: Laying the Plan! (First Update)

Chapter 1476: Chapter 1474: Laying the Plan! (First Update)

As the tension began to rise again, and two Kings were about to clash, a new sound of something slicing through the air came from the distance.

"Another one coming?"

The martial artists below were shocked, thinking perhaps another King had arrived.

But to their surprise, this time, there was no imposing aura of a King.

It was just an ordinary Venerable, and from their own War God Palace.

"Young Master, there’s bad news!"

As soon as the Venerable entered the War God Palace, he shouted loudly.

But when he saw the five Venerables above him, he froze in midair.

"What’s going on? Is someone attacking our War God Palace?"

"Nothing major, we’re discussing some matters."

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, then cast a gentle light, pulling the Venerable up.

"Greetings, Young Master, greetings, esteemed Kings."

The Venerable from the War God Palace spoke cautiously.

To be honest, it was his first time seeing so many Kings gathered together, and the aura they emitted felt like the sky was about to collapse on him.

Thankfully, the light cast by Lin Xuan enveloped him, otherwise, just the pressure from the Kings alone would have been overwhelming.

"What’s the matter? Why the urgency?" Lin Xuan inquired solemnly.

The Venerable slapped his forehead, remembering the important news he had to report, and quickly spoke.

"Young Master, it’s terrible, the Earth Fire Sect has been wiped out."

What?!

This time, all five Kings in the sky were stunned, and those below in the War God Palace were equally astonished, standing in disbelief.

"The Earth Fire Sect was annihilated? When did this happen? Who did it?"

The five Kings asked quickly, and the Venerable relayed the information he had received promptly.

The Earth Fire Sect was also a Sixth Grade Sect.

But even so, it had been destroyed!

Moreover, the situation was similar to that of the Divine Bird Palace; the entire foundation of the sect was destroyed, leaving a strong scent of blood in the air.

However, at the ruins, there wasn’t a single drop of blood, nor a corpse in sight.

It seemed the mysterious events at the Divine Bird Palace were occurring again at the Earth Fire Sect.

Upon hearing this news, Murong Ancestor and others furrowed their brows tightly.

Lin Xuan, however, snorted coldly: "What now, do you still think I did this?"

At these words, Patriarch Shen remained silent.

It was clear it wasn’t Lin Xuan; he was here now, while the Earth Fire Sect was far in the northwest.

There was simply not enough time to destroy the Earth Fire Sect and then return to the War God Palace.

Hence, this matter was indeed not carried out by Lin Xuan.

"I was reckless this time, I apologize for the earlier accusation."

Patriarch Shen sighed sympathetically.

Huff! Lin Xuan snorted lightly, saying no more.

Although his name had been cleared with the War God Palace, these events were far too bizarre.

Clearly, there was a hidden master they were unaware of.

"Could it be that there is a King on the Heavenly Martial Continent that we do not know?" Lin Xuan frowned and said.

After all, his knowledge of this continent was not as extensive as that of the other Kings.

However, the King of Joy shook his head slightly.

"Once one becomes a King, it signifies becoming a peak strong individual of this continent; such a figure wouldn’t hide for too long, they would inevitably show themselves."

"They might even establish a dynasty to claim their share of the continent."

"Just like the Duan Family before."

"So if there truly was a hidden King, we would have known."

"The other possibility is a newly risen King."

"But that’s even less likely."

"These newly risen Kings are slightly weaker in strength compared to us veteran Kings."

"With our means, we can’t even accomplish such feats, let alone a new King."

Everyone nodded at these words.

Indeed, the King of Joy was right; veteran Kings couldn’t have remained hidden for so long, and newly risen Kings didn’t have the capability.

Then who exactly committed these acts?

My main concern now is the adversary’s intent.

Is it revenge, or something else?

If the opponent acts again, who will be their next target? Or are they selecting targets at random?

The Kings pondered to the point of headaches, and at this moment, the Dark Red Divine Dragon spoke solemnly.

"Stop guessing, it likely isn’t for revenge."

"This situation you described is certainly caused by some kind of wicked cultivation technique that specifically absorbs martial artists’ blood."

"However, ordinary martial artists probably wouldn’t interest them, which is why they target these Sixth Grade Sects."

"Damn it, who exactly is he?" Patriarch Shen was clenching his teeth.

He had lived for over a thousand years and had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

If this continues, it won’t be long before they target the King Families!

Lin Xuan’s expression was also serious; he hadn’t expected to encounter such events just when he was about to leave the Heavenly Martial Continent.

If the culprit wasn’t found and eradicated, he wouldn’t feel secure leaving, even if they found the original energy stone.

"No, this can’t go on. We must find him." Lin Xuan’s gaze was resolute.

"Yes, exactly! We must find that culprit and take him down!"

"Otherwise, I won’t even be able to sleep!" the King of Joy declared gravely as well.

Both Murong Ancestor and Patriarch Shen nodded as well.

Luckily, before they left, they had instructed their family to activate the Guardian Defense Array.

Such an array was dozens of times stronger than the Divine Bird Palace’s Guardian Law, making it impossible for even a King to easily breach.

This was also why they dared to leave.

Before long, Dean Xuan also arrived, clearly having learned of the circumstances at the Divine Bird Palace and Earth Fire Sect.

Six Kings entered the War God Palace to deliberate.

Though they still didn’t know who the culprit was, from the two cases thus far, it seemed the enemy was in the northwest.

Both the Earth Fire Sect and the Divine Bird Palace were located in the northwest of the Heavenly Martial Continent.

"What other Sixth Grade Sects are in the northwest?" Lin Xuan quickly asked.

The Ninth Elder produced a large map, spreading it in front of the six individuals.

The Heavenly Martial Continent was rich in martial arts, boasting over twenty Sixth Grade Sects.

In just the northwest, there were four Sixth Grade Middle Sects,

Divine Bird Palace, Earth Fire Palace, Moon Embracing Pavilion, and Purple Cloud Sect.

Among them, the Divine Bird Palace and Earth Fire Sect were already annihilated, leaving only Moon Embracing Pavilion and Purple Cloud Sect.

This meant the next target of the mysterious killer was either Moon Embracing Pavilion or Purple Cloud Sect.

"Since we know their next target, why wait? Let’s take action!" Patriarch Shen said. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Very well, we six Kings can form two teams."

Dean Xuan said: "Old Shen, you, Old Murong, and the King of Joy form one team and head to the Purple Cloud Sect, while I, Lin Xuan, and the Dark Red Divine Dragon will head to Moon Embracing Pavilion."

"With the combined power of three Kings, we can certainly catch that killer!"

Hearing this, Murong Ancestor, Lin Xuan, and the others nodded.

However, the Dark Red Divine Dragon said gloomily: "Don’t be too optimistic, judging by the current situation, the enemy’s speed appears to be extremely fast."

"And very strong, capable of easily destroying Sixth Grade Sects; our speed might not match theirs."
