CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 112: SACRED SECT OF THE MYSTERIOUS BIRD

"You’re quite arrogant. Why don’t I keep you company?"

Sword intent surged from the arrogant young man. His gaze, seemingly as gentle as water, was in fact pressing, with hidden undercurrents swirling within.

BOOM!

A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded beside him, but his expression remained calm, as if he hadn’t noticed it at all.

On the other side, Luo Li was preparing to chase the fleeing disciples from the three great sects.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a beam of sword light descended from the sky, transforming into a young girl. This girl was about Luo Li’s age and also very beautiful.

She stood with her hands behind her back, chest puffed out, a haughty expression on her delicate face as she mocked Luo Li, "Stop chasing. Quickly bring out your treasures, won’t you?"

Luo Li stopped. "Treasures?" she asked, looking somewhat baffled at the haughty young girl who had suddenly appeared, her expression puzzled.

The girl squinted, scanning Luo Li and Jun Moxiao. "You two," she said coldly, "after battling the disciples of the three great sects for so long, what kind of treasure are you using to endlessly replenish your mana and stamina?"

Luo Li and Jun Moxiao exchanged a glance. "You guys... HAHA!" They burst into laughter.

What treasures could they possibly have?

They possessed 2% Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood in their bodies, naturally granting them far superior stamina and mana than ordinary cultivators.

The amusing part was that this young man and woman, who had appeared out of nowhere, actually believed they possessed some kind of treasure.

"What are you laughing at?" A blush suddenly rose on the young man’s handsome, jade-like face. He abruptly drew his sword, its tip pointed at Luo Li and Jun Moxiao, his aura growing increasingly formidable.

"Senior Brother, these two are too arrogant! Let’s teach them a lesson on behalf of the three great sects of the Shenfeng Dynasty and deflate their pride!" the exquisite young girl declared, also drawing her sword, her expression haughty and stern.

Looking at these two and their swords, Jun Moxiao frowned.

Where did these two strangers pop up from?

They definitely weren’t from the three great sects.

Could they be... Disciples of Heaven’s Pride from other dynasties?

Although these two had descended from the sky, they had seemingly been observing the battle from nearby, which was how they had noticed the astonishing stamina of him and his Senior Sister.

This young man and woman possessed uncommon cultivation, having reached the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm. Given their boldness in challenging him and his Senior Sister, their combat strength must be extraordinarily high.

Jun Moxiao narrowed his eyes, his expression gradually turning grave. They had just endured several time units of fierce battle, consuming a great deal of physical strength and mana. If they were to fight another battle now, the outcome would be uncertain.

Unless they used the Reverse Dragon Technique again and burned their Essence Blood...

Thinking of this, Jun Moxiao and Luo Li exchanged a meaningful look. In that instant, a silent understanding passed between them, and they made their decision.

"My sword never slays the nameless," Jun Moxiao said coolly, holding his sword across his chest. "May I ask where you two hail from?"

Before they crossed swords, he wanted to ascertain their origins. In the future, when his and his Senior Sister’s strength grew, they would march upon the enemy’s sect and plunder their Treasure Pavilion to avenge this day’s confrontation.

The young man and woman were pampered and arrogant. How could they fathom Jun Moxiao’s cunning intentions? After all, they had been Heaven’s favored since childhood, growing up under their sect’s protection without experiencing the world’s dangers. In terms of emotional intelligence, Jun Moxiao completely outclassed them.

"Since you’re both about to die anyway, remember this well: we are from the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty!" the young man sneered.

Heavenly Moon Dynasty? Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird? Jun Moxiao looked somewhat bewildered. He hadn’t even figured out the Shenfeng Dynasty yet, so where did this Heavenly Moon Dynasty come from?

Jun Moxiao glanced at Luo Li.

Luo Li shrugged, indicating she didn’t know either. The three of them had followed their Ancestor from the Ancient Moon Dynasty to the Shenfeng Dynasty, with no opportunity to learn about the history and culture of the Cangnan Continent. In this respect, they were complete novices.

A mocking glint appeared in the delicate young girl’s eyes. She could tell that the pair opposite her were like country bumpkins; they hadn’t even heard of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty.

The girl’s eyes darted about as she taunted, "The puny Shenfeng Dynasty you inhabit is merely average under the Plough Heaven Dynasty. Above it are the Three Great Dynasties of Sun, Moon, and Star: the Heavenly Star Dynasty, the Heavenly Moon Dynasty, and the Heavenly Sun Dynasty! Our Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird is one of the Four Great Sects of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty. Understand now?"

Jun Moxiao nodded. "Understood!" A brilliant smile lit his face. "Thank you both for the explanation. We won’t hold back now. Who knows... this day next year might be the anniversary of your deaths!"

Saying this, Jun Moxiao transformed into a Divine Dragon Phantom and, sword in hand, charged at the young man. An unending torrent of Divine Dragon Sword Light surged forward like a great river.

Luo Li also transformed into a Divine Dragon Phantom, attacking the young girl.

Although the pair of youths were arrogant, they were top talents. Seeing the sword light approach, they both moved, instantly retreating dozens of meters.

Instantly, Luo Li and Jun Moxiao’s attacks missed.

Both were inwardly startled. It was the first time they had encountered cultivators with such astonishing movement techniques.

"Our Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird’s Nine Heavens Mysterious Bird Body Technique is renowned as the foremost movement technique in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty. How could you possibly comprehend it?" the young man sneered, his voice clear and resonant, piercing the clouds.

After his laughter, he and the girl swayed slightly and vanished in an instant.

SWISH SWISH...

A sea of sword light swept in from a distance like a vast, turbulent ocean, overwhelmingly powerful, instantly surrounding Luo Li and Jun Moxiao.

"Such speed! Such swordsmanship!" Luo Li and Jun Moxiao exclaimed in shock, watching the roiling sword light.

The strength of this young man and woman seemed to be a cut above their own!

Both immediately transformed into dozens of Divine Dragon Phantoms, weaving through the attacks while unleashing the Dragon God Sword Technique.

The four of them clashed in an instant. This battle was even more intense and ferocious than the previous one. The young couple’s swordsmanship was extremely fast; it seemed they could unleash hundreds of sword lights in an instant, completely suppressing Luo Li and Jun Moxiao.

In the distant void, the black-haired old man who had been observing the battle wore a gratified smile. These two were his most prized disciples, also ranked in the top three on the Divine Bridge Realm Heavenly List of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty. Their combat power was naturally extraordinary. If not for their goal of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm, they would not have traveled thousands of miles to the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range in the Shenfeng Dynasty.

Deep within the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range lay a Thunder Pool with incredibly potent lightning energy. If his two disciples cultivated there for a time, they would surely break through to the Nirvana Realm. This way, in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty’s upcoming War of the Secret Realm, his two disciples could enter as cultivators of the Nirvana Realm.

At this moment, Ye Yun was also observing the battle.

When he saw the movement techniques and swordsmanship displayed by the young man and girl, a look of recognition flickered in his eyes.

Who would have thought... The insignificant Mysterious Bird Sect, once a vassal of the Dragon God Sect for ten thousand years, had not only endured for a hundred thousand years but also gained such a resounding name: the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird...

Ye Yun’s face was calm, but a hint of faint, derisive amusement surfaced in the depths of his eyes.
