Chapter 164: Full Sect Search


“Lu Xuan!” Elder Cheng yelled, quickly entering into the room. The rest of the people tightly followed.


The room after the big battle was a huge mess, but the corpse lying in the room immediately attracted everyone’s attention. The powerful stench of blood was coming from it.


Seeing the corpse, the sword faction people faces changed. Could it be Lu Xuan was already dead?


As for the blade faction elders, their faces flashed with fierce excitement. Lu Xuan really died? That was an extremely good thing!


Elder Cheng was the first to rush to the corpses side. Seeing the corpse’s appearance, a strange expression flashed across his face. The situation was far different from what he had imagined.


Seeing that Elder Cheng had not shown the explosively angry appearance he was expecting, the blade faction’s great elder’s smile gradually disappeared. A hint of doubt appeared and he similarly rushed to the corpse’s side.


Seeing the face of the person of the ground, the blade faction great elder’s expression suddenly changed!


The dead person wasn’t Lu Xuan as he assumed but was actually his blade faction’s favored disciple, overall standings number one Xu Wen Yang!


“Lu Xuan! It’s definitely that treacherous Lu Xuan! Come out and accept your death!” Blade faction great elder raged. He never would have thought that Lu Xuan not only would kill five blade faction ordinary disciples, even Xu Wen Yang had died to his hand. This was completely different from what he had imagined.


He didn’t care too much about five ordinary disciples dying. If they could trade five disciples to trade for Lu Xuan’s death, he’d be delighted to let it happen. But Xu Wen Yang was different. Xu Wen Yang was his blade faction’s most powerful disciple. In the next great sect competition, it was extremely likely that he could once again take first. How could he be compared to ordinary disciples?


And now that he had actually died in such uncertain circumstances, how could he accept it?


After the blade faction great elder angrily yelled, the blade faction’s other three elder also discovered something was wrong. Quickly hurrying over, when they saw that the corpse was the long dead Xu Wen Yang, their faces also changed.


However, Elder Zheng was inwardly delighted. Now Xu Wen Yang was dead, the blade faction would have to choose to raise another disciple, and looking over the entire blade faction, in terms of strength, although Zheng Gang wasn’t the strongest, his talent was one of the best. It was very likely that he could be the focus of the raising.


Of course, this was what he was thinking inwardly. His face naturally couldn’t reveal it. Instead he directly yelled at Elder Cheng: “I hadn’t thought that Lu Xuan would actually be so evil. Not only killing five of my disciples outside, now he even killed the fist faction’s disciple Long Tian and Xu Wen Yang. If Lu Xuan isn’t put to death, how can these seven dead disciples be accounted for!”


Another elder also spoke up: “Not only does Lu Xuan need to die, this matter isn’t unrelated to your sword faction. The way I see it, it must have been you guys seeing my blade faction’s might and sending Lu Xuan as an assassin.”


The blade faction great elder had an even gloomier look, glaring at Elder Cheng as if he wanted to devour him.


“Take that Lu Xuan out and hand him to me! He must die!”


(TN: I wonder if this line has ever worked in the history of this line.)


Previously he was set on the idea of making Lu Xuan die, now he couldn’t let that go even more. Xu Wen Yang was already dead. The blade faction didn’t have a single disciple powerful enough. In the next great sect competition, wanting to continue being number one was already a pipe dream. He absolutely wouldn’t allow Lu Xuan to stay alive and let the sword faction gain fame.


Seeing the dead was Xu Wen Yang and not Lu Xuan, Elder Cheng’s group felt a rock in their hearts fall away. The entire blade faction residence, other than the two corpses, didn’t have anyone else. Lu Xuan and Lin Xin Yi were nowhere to be seen. Obviously Lu Xuan had already successfully rescued Lin Xin Yi and escaped.


To this, Elder Cheng calmly said: “Elder Yu’s words are too overbearing. This matter before is not yet clear. How can guilt be assigned so easily? Moreover, we’re also looking for Lu Xuan right now, how can we hand him to you?”


Elder Yu was the blade faction’s great elder. Looking at Elder Cheng’s look of calm, his eyes flashed with a look of hate. Lu Xuan was already safe, Elder Cheng was naturally no longer worried, but now Xu Wen Yang was dead, how could he remain tranquil?


“The matter is not yet clear? Hmph! I can see it very clearly. Obviously your sword faction was jealous of my blade faction’s success. Not distinguishing between black from white, Lu Xuan was sent to my blade faction to kill people. What sword faction being kidnapped by Xu Wen Yang. Purely imagined. Just an excuse. From beginning to end there wasn’t any proof that showed Xu Wen Yang had done anything!”


(TN: What’s with that logic? If the sword faction wanted to beat the crap out of the blade faction, why wouldn’t they just wait for the sect competition. There’s no advantage to killing Xu Wen Yang, especially if Lu Xuan can 1v1 him at this point in time.)


Xia Ye wanted to retort because there was a witness to this matter, who was Yao Lei, but in this critical moment, Xing Feng pulled on him, fiercely glaring at him.


Yao Lei was only a mere outer sect disciple and was the blade faction’s outer sect disciple. If he was brought over, his fate would be unpleasant.


After Xing Feng’s reminder, Xia Ye immediately responded by closing his mouth. Right now, although Lu Xuan and Lin Xin Yi were nowhere to be seen and were probably safe, it would be better to not bring up any new unforeseen problems.


Without waiting for Elder Cheng to respond, Elder Yu then said: “I will send that fist faction disciple’s corpse back to the fist faction. I imagine that the fist faction also won’t let this go. Since your sword faction is unwilling to turn him over, then don’t blame me for taking the initiative to search for him. Even if I have to turn the Wind Sword Sect inside out, and flip the three great empires turning them upside down, I will still find Lu Xuan and have him die!”


“Elder Cheng, send down this command, all of the blade faction’s people, including the deacons, inner sect and outer sect disciples, must all assemble! I want to see where that Lu Xuan can hide!” Elder Yu’s tone was filled thick with killing intent. No one would doubt that if Lu Xuan was standing in front of him right now, he absolutely, without a doubt, would kill him.


Hearing this, Elder Zheng didn’t dare to neglect. Taking out his nameplate that represented that he was an elder, a message was quickly sent down. In a moment, it had notified that everyone was to assemble, immediately reaching the ears of everyone in the blade faction.


“Go, go to the blade faction field!” Coldly scanning over Elder Cheng and the others, Elder Xu led the other three blade faction elders and left without turning his head back.


After those people left, Elder Cheng’s expression of difference gradually disappeared and became somber. Although nothing having happened to Lu Xuan was extremely fortunate, at the same time, without a doubt, his actions had been enough to send the whole inner sect into shock. Comparatively, point his sword at Xu Wen Yang simply didn’t count for much. This time he had actually put Xu Wen Yang to death!


“We’re also going. First go back to the sword faction. This isn’t the place to talk.” Mulling over it slightly, Elder Cheng took the lead and went out first. The three great elders each took one person and launched into the air.


As they were flying quickly through the air, Elder Cheng asked: “Xia Ye, do you know where Lu Xuan is right now?”


Currently Xia Ye was being carried by through the air by Elder Cheng. Hearing the question, he thought over it and shook his head: “I don’t know. Lu Xuan didn’t tell us. At the time, he only had us watch over his friend Yao Lei and then quickly left. After that, Xia Ye and I went to find you all.”


Staring at Xia Ye with his eyes, Elder Cheng said: “Although Lu Xuan was saving someone this time, it was indeed not a small matter. The blade faction had never been the type to eat such a large loss. This time, they absolutely won’t let the matter be. If they find Lu Xuan, they’ll kill him right there. If you want to protect Lu Xuan, we can only find Lu Xuan first. This way, at least be a buffer. So if you know anything about where Lu Xuan is, do not hide it.”


Hearing this, Xia Ye bitterly smiled: “How could I dare to hide anything. I really don’t know. Also, Xing Feng and I also never thought that the situation would blow up so much. Originally we thought Lu Xuan was only going to save Xin Yi. We hadn’t thought that he would even kill Xu Wen Yang.”


“If he didn’t kill Xu Wen Yang, that wouldn’t align with Lu Xuan’s style.”


Elder Xu who was flying while carrying Xing Feng spoke out: “Back at his home of Qing Mountain Village, in order to avoid the Long family from continuing to act against his father and older sister, he simply and neatly exterminated the whole Long family. It could be said to be simple and neat. Now he and Xu Wen Yang’s grudge already started without end in sight, in the future there would be a thousand days of thieves and a thousand days of guarding against thieves. In order to avoid this sort of matter from happening again in the future, he would naturally want to put Xu Wen Yang down to eliminate hidden dangers.”


Hearing this, Elder Cheng nodded: “This Lu Xuan is normally modest and gentle but in key moments he can kill decisively and doesn’t drag mud through the water. This type of person is the type that truly chases the martial path. As long as there’s a bit of hope, I am determined to protect him.”


(TN: Beat around the bush, hesitant)


“It’s a pity that Vice Sect Master Jin isn’t around. He favors Lu Xuan. If he was here, the chances of protecting Lu Xuan would be much better. Right now, it’s hard to say.” Elder Xu sighed.


Hearing this, Xia Ye and Xing Feng quickly looked at each other. Both of them read the meaning in each other’s eyes. Obviously, the sword faction’s three great elders also didn’t have a 100% confidence of protecting Lu Xuan.


Xing Feng shook his head towards Xia Ye. Xia Ye understood and subtly nodded his head. The two no longer contacted each other.


Truthfully, both of them could guess where Lu Xuan might have gone which was the place where he had been staying for a long time before this, the Enchantment Hall. Originally, Xia Ye was still hesitating about whether or not he should bring it up to Elder Cheng, but after hearing these words, he gave up on that idea. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Elder Cheng, but that he didn’t dare to endanger Lu Xuan’s life. They believed that if Lu Xuan wanted to find the three great elders, he would come back himself. If he didn’t come back then he must have his own thoughts.


As Elder Cheng and the group returned towards the sword faction, all of the blade faction’s people assembled in the blade faction field. As for Long Tian’s corpse and his beheaded head, Elder Yu had someone send it back to the fist faction.


When he saw Long Tian’s corpse, the fist faction’s Elder Sun went blank, as if he didn’t dare to believe it, but afterwards, his rage reached the sky.


In the previous period of time, Long Hai was buried in the back mountain. Long Tian was already his last grandson, and now, even Long Tian was dead. Hearing the news from the person Elder Yu had sent, Elder Sun became even more unrestrainably angry. It was actually Lu Xuan again!


(TN: This grandson is the daughter’s child type. Just making a note here.)


Without any hesitation, Elder Sun immediately convened all of the people of the fist faction, uniting with the all of the blade faction disciples and searched the whole sect. Even if they had to flip the Wind Sword Sect over, Lu Xuan must be found!
