Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding concealed his form and flew through the sky, heading in the direction of Immortal Burning Bone.

After some thought, he still believed this person was closest, and having spent so much effort on arrangements and planning with his clone, it couldn’t all go to waste.

Given the proximity, he didn’t bother looking for anyone else.

And so, while Immortal Burning Bone was pursuing his disciple, Jiang Ding was chasing after Immortal Burning Bone.

He would occasionally stop to extend his Divine Sense, scanning for potential traps and ambushes. He did not necessarily aim for speed; safety came first.

This was not a chase for hunting but a careful ambush, which was not about racing against time.

The Taiqing Flying Sword is the symbol of dominion for the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the Imperial Jade Seal, naturally capable of sensing the presence, condition, Cultivation Method, Sword Intent, and other information of all Sword Cultivators in the Great Sun Sword Pavilion except for the Great Sun Sword Master within a certain distance.

Including the Sword Dao Divinity Transformation Heavenly Monarch!

As for whether it could be commanded, there were no rules set; it all depended on the power one possessed.

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion was just the Great Sun Sword Master and the Dari Swordsman.

Theoretically, even the Great Sun Sword Master could not sense the existence of the Dari Swordsman with the flying sword.

The Dari Swordsman was not conferred by the Sword Master but had fought his way up, having the same status as the other.

It was like one person’s youth and old age.

Of course, this was just theory.

Everything needed to be backed up by strength.

A Divinity Transformation Heavenly Monarch could not possibly bend the knee to a Dari Swordsman in the Golden Pill stage, and if things went south, killing or fleeing was a possibility.

The theoretical right to rule could not be converted into actual dominion, and in this regard, the Great Sun Sword Master would offer no help.

For such a move would be encroaching upon his rule.

At this moment, a map appeared in Jiang Ding’s mind, where all the Immortals of Nascent Soul from the entire Great Sun Sword Sect were marked within.

Some were motionless, cultivating in tranquility within the sect, some were stationed in the Great Sun Sword City, others were out visiting friends or refining treasures... and so on, detailed and comprehensive.

The two closest markers had different behaviors.

One was moving at maximum speed, pursuing something, while the other, originally farther away, was approaching from a different direction, sneaking around and soon to cross paths.

Since this person was simply traveling normally, the speed was slower.

”This person...”

Jiang Ding hesitated in his steps, contemplating for a short while.

...

”This journey has been relatively smooth.”

An old man with a pigeon-like face flew from the direction of the Great Sun Sword Sect, making his way back to the Liudao Sect, concealing his figure and constantly watching his surroundings, his Divine Soul tense.

It was True Master Yin Jiu, who had defected from the Liudao Sect.

Thanks to a centuries-old camaraderie and the large number of Sword Cultivator Divine Souls he brought along, as well as the Cultivation Method trading channels with the Northern Plains’ clans, no Immortal of Nascent Soul had yet pursued him.

But complacency was not an option.

True Master Yin Jiu knew well that his past good relations were rapidly dissolving with time.

The moment he participated in severely wounding or killing an Immortal of Nascent Soul from the Great Sun Sword Sect, all good relations would vanish like smoke, and hatred and resentment would run deeper than that of any Cultivator from the Liudao Sect.

And these were assignments the Liudao Sect would inevitably have in store for him, sooner or later.

”Alas, the path of the Dao is fraught with hardship,” sighed True Master Yin Jiu.

”The complete Three Revolutions Blood Condensing Method has not yet been obtained, the Liudao Sect’s million Poisonous Pigeon Blooded Persons sharing my collateral bloodline are still growing, not yet of great use.

I can only make do with these old friends of mine. After all, they are to die, better by my hand, and with so many years of friendship, I trust they would rest in peace.”

”Once I achieve the Dao, I will destroy the Liudao Sect to avenge you all,” said True Master Yin Jiu reluctantly.

”These old cunning ones are so crafty; I must think of a solution...”

”True Master Yin Jiu,”
