Chapter 231 Tianhuai Kingdom
After he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot in a flash. The mortals around him acted as if they hadn't seen anything and continued doing their own things.
It was as if there had always been no one there, no one cared, no one saw it.
Xuan Kun's figure flashed and appeared on the tall building compound, and his spiritual sense sensed the early Jindan cultivator below.
In the courtyard building, an old monk in Taoist robes was sitting cross-legged in the room to practice. In front of him was a magical flying sword, with a flash of light on it, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. Threads of spiritual energy flew in from the surroundings, circling around the old man and the flying sword, and then were absorbed by both.
Suddenly, in the quiet and peaceful room filled with rich spiritual energy, a figure in black appeared and stood not far in front of the old man in Taoist robes, staring at him quietly.
The old man in Taoist robe seemed to have sensed something. His tightly closed brows twitched twice, and then slowly opened. When he saw the black-clothed figure for the first time, his face suddenly changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he screamed in surprise.
"Ah You……"
Then he slowly calmed down, swallowed his saliva, stood up, bowed and clasped his fists respectfully.
"Senior, what is the reason for you to come to me? I will tell you everything I know."
Xuan Kun looked at the old man in Taoist robes, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face as he asked.
"Oh! You have quite the concentration! When you met me, your ancestor, you didn't even startle and run around, or threaten me."
Upon hearing this, the old man in Taoist robes did not change his expression. He smiled bitterly twice and spoke respectfully.
"Haha~, Senior, you must be joking. I am just an old man in the early stage of Jindan. I am frightened. As for running away, how can I, with my weak strength, escape from the hands of a senior with such great magical powers!"
"I am just a lowly elder of the Sword Dao Sect, without any powerful people to back me up, so how can I even be considered a threat?"
"Senior, you came here today but didn't attack me. I guess you came to me to get information. After all, I don't have anything else that you would need."
Seeing this, Xuan Kun couldn't help but smile and sighed, "Haha, you are quite open-minded and think things through. You also understand your own situation. Although your talent is not high, you have managed to form a golden elixir, and you are so accurate in your calculations."
As he spoke, Xuan Kun's expression changed, and he stared fiercely at the old man in Taoist robes and said sternly.
"Then, have you ever expected that I'm not here for your intelligence today, but to take your life!"
After he finished speaking, the powerful pressure of the early Nascent Soul stage came over, and the three-colored spiritual power immediately filled the entire room, extremely violently, but nothing in the room was damaged. Outside the room, there was an invisible barrier that blocked it, and no one noticed it.
"Pfft!"
The old man in Taoist robe fell to his knees with his hands and head touching the ground. The old man prostrated himself on the ground and created a crack in the ground.
His calm face was filled with fear and he screamed.
"what!"
He discovered that he could still speak, and suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Yuan Ying~ Senior~, I~ don't dare, I~ don't dare! Please~ put away~ your magical powers, I~ can't~ hold on~ any longer."
The extremely powerful pressure had pushed his spine infinitely close to the ground, his face was deformed, and the ground where he was standing was covered with cracks.
Seeing this, Xuan Kun smiled slightly. He let him speak in order to achieve his goal. Now that it has been achieved, he can withdraw the pressure.
"Haha, hey, being too mature and too smart is not a good thing. Being too smart can backfire. Smart people don't speak their mind."
Without any movement from Xuan Kun, the three-colored spiritual power in the room disappeared and returned to its previous state.
"Huff, inhale, inhale... Thank you, senior. I will take back my magical power."
As the pressure subsided, the old man in Taoist robes immediately fell to the ground, breathing rapidly, no longer as steady and mature as before. He then hurriedly thanked Xuan Kun.
Looking at the old man in Taoist robes, Xuan Kun asked with an expressionless face.
"Please introduce me to your Tianhuai Kingdom and its various factions. Tell me as much as you know."
Upon hearing this, the old man in Taoist robe hurriedly got up, lowered his head, and looked at the ground that he had cracked. He no longer had the previous composure and open-mindedness in his heart.
He spoke cautiously and humbly.
"Tianhuai Country now has two major forces, one is the Sword Sect of the Righteous Path, and the other is the Hehuan Sect of the Demonic Path."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xuan Kun cautiously. He no longer dared to speak carelessly, nor did he dare to say a single word, for he was afraid that Xuan Kun would suddenly attack him again. After all, the man in front of him had an unpredictable temperament and would attack at will.
Xuan Kun said coldly, "Go on, Nascent Soul cultivator."
The old man in Taoist robes heard this, swallowed his saliva, and then spoke.
"These two sects are the major forces that have Nascent Soul cultivators. Among them, my Sword Dao Sect has four Nascent Soul cultivators. One of the Supreme Elders is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the other three elders are in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. The Hehuan Sect is similar to my sect, and also has four Nascent Soul cultivators."
"But more than a decade ago, they and their superior sect attacked the Xuantian Kingdom in the north. They were repelled by the alliance of the five major forces of Xuantian Kingdom, and an early Nascent Soul cultivator was killed in the battle. Now there are only three Nascent Soul cultivators left, one in the middle stage, and two in the early stage."
Xuan Kun's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but he secretly sighed in his heart, "Oh! An early Nascent Soul cultivator died in the battle of the He Huan Sect. Was it you, Ling Huan, or you, Fen Yu? I hope it wasn't you two! Otherwise, I'll have one less enemy when I return.
"Thirty-two years have passed. It's not a long time, but it's not a short time either. Tianhuai Country is still the same as before. There is not an increase in the number of Nascent Soul cultivators, but one less."
After pondering for a moment, he turned to the waiting old man in Taoist robes and asked, "Which early Nascent Soul cultivator died in the Hehuan Sect? Ling Huan? Or Fen Yu?"
The old man in Taoist robes thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Uh, neither of them. It's another one, called..."
Before he could even mention the name, Xuan Kun interrupted him, "Alright, forget it. I don't care. Let's talk about the Five Elements Sect! I remember there used to be a Nascent Soul sect in Tianhuai Country called the Five Elements Sect. Why haven't you mentioned it before?"
The old man in Taoist robes couldn't help but look down upon hearing this, but he didn't dare to look up at Xuan Kun's expression, so he spoke hastily.
"What you said is true. The Five Elements Sect was destroyed thirty-two years ago. The perpetrators were members of the Hehuan Sect and its parent sect, the Yin-Yang Divine Sect. My Sword Dao Sect did not intervene. I remember learning from the news afterwards that the Yin-Yang Divine Sect dispatched a late Nascent Soul cultivator, who was able to easily destroy the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect."
When Xuan Kun heard this, he felt cold and angry. Whenever he heard about the Five Elements Sect and the Xuan family of Tianhuai Kingdom, Xuan Kun would feel invisibly angry, but his heart was extremely calm.
He thought to himself, "He is indeed a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage."
