"Hm?"
Suddenly, Li Yun noticed something strange.
"From start to finish, the Ironblood Holy Son Yan Wuhen does not seem to have appeared."
"Eh?"
When Li Yun said this, the others noticed it too.
Within the Ironblood Sect, the biggest culprit was certainly the Ironblood Sect Master.
However, the one who first stirred up trouble was the Ironblood Holy Son.
Because of that, in everyone’s minds, the Ironblood Holy Son was also on the must-kill list. His ranking was even higher than those hall masters and chief elders, and he was on par with the two deputy sect masters.
"Speak. Where exactly did Yan Wuhen go?"
Zi Canglan’s expression turned cold as he casually grabbed a middle-level member of the Ironblood Sect.
"I do not know."
That cultivator cried out in terror and shook his head repeatedly, looking as if he had been scared out of his wits.
"Hmph."
Zi Canglan snorted coldly and killed the cultivator with a single palm strike.
Then he grabbed another cultivator and said coldly, "Where did Yan Wuhen go?"
"I do not know. I really do not know."
That cultivator screamed as well, clearly knowing nothing about Yan Wuhen’s whereabouts.
He was directly slapped to death by Zi Canglan.
In the blink of an eye, Zi Canglan questioned over a dozen cultivators of the Ironblood Sect.
However, so many people actually knew nothing about Yan Wuhen’s whereabouts.
"Where exactly did that Yan Wuhen go?"
The expressions of Zi Canglan and the others became increasingly ugly.
If the roots were not removed, the weeds would grow again when the spring breeze blew.
If Yan Wuhen were allowed to escape, the Ironblood Sect might rise from the ashes in a few decades and bring chaos to the entire Azure Void Region again.
After all, although Yan Wuhen had a wicked character, his talent was absolutely top-tier.
One day, he might not necessarily be unable to cultivate to the same level as the Ironblood Sect Master.
"Send people to search. Once Yan Wuhen’s whereabouts are found, report it immediately."
In the end, Zi Canglan and the others could only give such an order.
As for whether they could catch Yan Wuhen, that would depend on luck.
After all, Yan Wuhen had already cultivated to the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm. If a Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse truly intended to hide, finding him would not be easy.
A quarter of an hour later, all middle-level and higher cultivators of the Ironblood Sect were killed by Li Yun’s group.
As for most of the low-level cultivators, their cultivation bases were crippled.
Only a few cultivators who acted with some principles and had not completely lost their humanity managed to preserve both their lives and cultivation.
Even so, they would be divided up and incorporated into the four great powers, such as the Heavenly Sword Sect.
After all, although the Ironblood Sect had been destroyed, the four great powers had also suffered serious losses to their foundation and urgently needed fresh forces to replenish their strength.
Next came the process of argument and negotiation between the four great powers.
After the destruction of the Ironblood Sect, how the four great sects would divide their spheres of influence again became the most important matter at hand.
Li Yun had no interest in this.
Because of him, the Heavenly Sword Sect was destined to hold a significant advantage in these negotiations.
For him to do this much for the Heavenly Sword Sect was already enough.
Afterward, he bid farewell to Nalan Yunhai, Zi Canglan, and the others, then set off for Martial Ascension Gate.
Under the speed of the Verdant Luan, only one day passed before Li Yun and Elder Bai Jing arrived at Martial Ascension Gate.
On the outskirts of Martial Ascension Gate, there were still some cultivators from the Ironblood Sect remaining.
But without Elder Bai Jing needing to act, Li Yun easily dealt with all of them himself.
"It is Elder Li."
"Grand Elder Li is back."
Seeing Li Yun, the two Martial Ascension Gate cultivators responsible for observing the outside situation immediately shouted in pleasant surprise and rushed back into the underground palace to report.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Martial Ascension Gate cultivators swarmed out.
Standing at the very front were none other than Peak Lord Shen Ming and Sect Master Xuan Tiandao.
In more than a year, under the effects of the Great Heaven Creation Pill, Peak Lord Shen Ming had reached the 4th level of Heaven Core Realm, while Xuan Tiandao had also reached the 3rd level of Heaven Core Realm.
Behind them, there were more than a dozen elders who had also reached the Heavenly Core Realm. Their cultivation ranged from the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm to the 3rd level of Heavenly Core Realm.
Compared to the past, Martial Ascension Gate’s strength had greatly increased.
It was no longer like before, when they did not even have a single Heavenly Core Realm cultivator and were pitifully weak.
"Li Yun, why are you back?"
However, after seeing Li Yun, Peak Lord Shen Ming still frowned.
Although Martial Ascension Gate’s strength had improved significantly, there was still a huge gap between them and the Ironblood Sect.
Had Li Yun come here rashly without fearing that he would attract the Ironblood Sect’s attention and bring experts to hunt him down?
"Peak Lord Shen Ming, the Ironblood Sect has been destroyed."
As soon as Li Yun said these words, Peak Lord Shen Ming and the others all revealed shocked expressions, almost unable to believe their ears.
Yet now, it had actually been destroyed.
How was this possible?
"Li Yun, are your words true?"
Xuan Tiandao still could not believe it.
Without any warning, such a massive Ironblood Sect had been destroyed just like that?
"It is absolutely true."
Li Yun did not embellish too much.
He only used brief words to recount what had happened before.
Even so, Peak Lord Shen Ming and the others were shocked beyond measure.
Li Yun had actually joined a top-tier power in the entire Northern Territory, and that power had not hesitated to send experts to resolve the Ironblood Sect, which had been Li Yun’s lingering concern.
Although they had long known Li Yun was destined to be extraordinary, none of them expected that while still in the Heavenly Core Realm, Li Yun would already possess such terrifying influence.
"Unbelievable."
Peak Lord Shen Ming sighed with emotion.
The little fellow he had once valued had now become a towering tree that even he could only look up to.
"By the way, Li Yun, that disciple of yours is truly extraordinary as well."
Suddenly remembering something, Peak Lord Shen Ming spoke again.
"In just over a year, that little girl has already cultivated to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm. Her swordsmanship is especially startling. Among those in the same realm, no one is her match for even a single exchange. Even against cultivators with higher realms than her, she can defeat them easily. She truly has your style from back then."
"Oh?"
Li Yun raised an eyebrow.
Regarding Ye Qingxue, he had mainly adopted a hands-off approach.
Of course, he had not had the time or energy to train her personally either.
After not seeing her for more than a year, he was also somewhat curious about what realm his disciple had reached.
Immediately, his figure flickered, and he directly entered the underground palace.
Following Peak Lord Shen Ming’s direction, he went straight to the training ground for Martial Ascension Gate disciples.
In the training ground, a young girl in white stood in the center, practicing a sword technique.
That sword technique was magnificent and exceptionally elegant, leaving the many surrounding Martial Ascension Gate disciples completely entranced.
The sword was beautiful, and the person was even more beautiful.
After a year without seeing her, Ye Qingxue had grown even more beautiful and moving. Every frown and smile carried a charm that could intoxicate others.
"Not bad. Your swordsmanship can be considered to have reached the entry level."
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded.
The white-clad girl’s body immediately trembled.
