Chapter 621 The Moon Rises Over Kunlun, Illuminating the Snow-capped Mountains (Part 2)
Li Cang looked at his withered left hand, where the muscles and bones had completely decayed, and it was now just an empty shell. The life force within had actually been severed by the crescent-shaped sword energy.

He was very clear about what he was facing.

It's a sword formation.

Moreover, it is the renowned Bihua Kunyue Sword Formation within the Sword Palace, a name bestowed upon it by the Palace Master.

It evokes the image of the moon shining on Kunlun Mountain, symbolizing its boundless height.

This formation was created by the Hundred Rivers Sword Immortal of the Sword Palace when he attained the Sword Immortal status, using sword intent to mimic moonlight. The Palace Master once praised it, saying that this sword formation cuts through the Nine Laws, opening up a new path for sword cultivators.

Li Cang was not proficient in sword formations and had no interest in them, but he knew that this sword formation held a very high position in the Sword Palace and was difficult to master. Unless one was at the Void Step cultivation level, there was no way to use it.

Faced with such a sword formation in the Central Plains at this moment, there is only one possibility.

The ghost cultivators who set up roadblocks here, or rather, the people behind them, must be from the East Sea Sword Palace.

“A husband should do certain things and should not do others. Since you are a senior from the Sword Palace, why are you robbing people here? Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the palace?”

As the orthodox sect of sword cultivators in the world, the East Sea Sword Palace is lenient in its entry and exit, emphasizing freedom of movement. However, it also has its own set of rules and regulations. Once a mistake is made, various punishments will be imposed. Otherwise, Li Cang would not have ended up working as a guard for a rising business like Baiyun City.

One of the explicit rules strictly prohibits any attack on businesses, large or small, recognized by the Sword Palace, including those in White Cloud City.

The reasons why the Sword Palace would issue such a decree are varied. For example, many businesses already have shares held by the East Sea Sword Palace, making them affiliated with the sect. Some businesses are also run by the descendants and clansmen of the Sword Palace's elders…

Aside from these personal interests, the most important factor is the vast area of ​​the East Sea, the large number of cultivators, and the fact that the exchange of various resources relies mainly on merchant guilds. In other words, large and small merchant groups are the main force in maintaining order in the East Sea.

Once these trading houses are gone, the East Sea will likely become a bloodbath, a battleground for survival, rather than a place for the exchange of goods. They call killing and plundering opportunities, and sectarian infighting "inheritance." The East Sea Sword Palace, having emerged from a turbulent and bloody past, will naturally not allow the East Sea to return to its former state.

Everything must be handled in accordance with the rules of the Sword Palace.

Li Cang firmly believed that the one who could produce the Bihua Kunyue Sword Formation must be a senior member of the Sword Palace.

However, Su Che paid no attention to his words at all, because Su Che's mind and body were completely focused on the operation of the sword formation.

With that sword strike, he seemed to have touched something deeper in the world, allowing his supernatural powers to penetrate the protective net of evil and directly "seep" into it.

The cultivators who were reduced to ashes by the Yin Fire had encountered the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire. Those who groaned in agony had been fundamentally imprinted with a Moon Serpent Shadow Seal. Some cultivators were even cleaved in two mid-air by the Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Aurora.

In Su Che's eyes at this moment, the world has changed, and this is the feeling he has regained by using the Creation Sword Intent as a probe.

From this perspective of "investigating things," everything in front of him was no longer what it used to be in Su Che's eyes.

The entire world is composed of countless long lines that have no beginning and no end. These countless long lines suddenly intersect and entangle with each other in certain places. These twisted and knotted points represent different cultivators.

The locations of different cultivators are composed of different long lines, and these different long lines give these cultivators different "colors".

Just like the red-faced monk at the bow of the ship, the lines that make up him include a thick layer of red, giving people a feeling of burning everything.

The point of contact between the Core Formation Sword Cultivator who was currently fighting against him was the opposite; it was a cavity formed by repulsion and alienation from the surrounding long lines.

Meanwhile, the points that made up the few cultivators who were tragically killed are now collapsing, and those originally intertwined "endpoints" are gradually returning to normal.

The curtain composed of countless long lines is the entirely new world that Su Che is currently experiencing. Is this the primordial energy of heaven and earth under the alienation of the laws?

What truly made Su Che take them seriously was not just the cultivators before him, but also the many more hidden within the ship's cabin...

Inside the cabin, there was a point that resembled a candle flame, around which countless laws twisted and emitted a faint light. Under this light, Su Che could feel the power that altered the laws of heaven and earth.

As expected, there was a master of the Void Step technique on board this cloud boat.

However, Su Che was not in a hurry. No matter how much Kong Kong'er tricked people, he would not make him face a powerful figure at the Void Step level.

The lines representing various laws constantly disappear and reappear in the light, in an endless cycle.

Is this the power of a cultivator in the Void Step?
Previously, within the Blood River Realm, Su Che had witnessed the power of the Void Stepping expert. However, Fei Xin, the Demonic Elder of the Arctic Yuan Palace, was hastily defeated by the Heavenly Demon invasion, leaving Su Che with no concept of just how strong the Void Stepping expert was or what made him so strong.

If there's any target on this ship that requires Kongkong'er's personal attention, it must be this person.

Your mother.

Lie Qian below was feeling extremely uncomfortable, and many of the cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm around him had already collapsed. The speed of the entire cloud boat had slowed down, but Li Cang above was still muttering about the rules of the East Sea Sword Palace.

That's utter bullshit.

If an enemy cared about rules, they wouldn't have made a move in the first place. Once they do, they don't care whether you've seen through their identity.

"Prince Yuan!"

Lie Xuan let out a long roar: "Please, Venerable One, make your move."

On this cloud boat, there are two leaders, Lie Xuan and Li Cang, but in reality, all matters, big and small, are decided by Lie Xuan alone.

Although the man surnamed Yuan was invited by Baiyun City as a retainer, since he was a retainer, he was an outsider who took money to do things.

Lie Xuan naturally wouldn't want to ask him to take action.

However, given the current situation, he simply cannot afford to continue weighing the pros and cons for the sake of saving face.

If people keep dying like this, there won't even be enough cultivators to keep up with the demand for powering the cloud boat.

Something seemed to be responding to Lie Qian's long howl from below the cabin, and a strange sound wave suddenly exploded.

"...Thus have I heard. The Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti..."

Those chanting sounds carried a demonic power, smoothing out the laws of heaven and earth that Su Che had stirred up. At the same time, five rays of light merged into a giant hand, reaching straight towards Su Che.

Each of the five fingers of that large hand carried a powerful divine force, with the five elements interacting and restraining each other, evolving into a great force that sealed the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The Five Elements Great Handprint descended from the sky above Su Che's head.
