Chapter 3180: Blue Lotus Twins

Wang Ruyi, Wang Yangsheng, and Liu Yushuang rushed over immediately after receiving the news. Simultaneously, they dispatched messengers to inform other Void Refinement cultivators from various strongholds, who were currently en route.

Wang Ruyi produced a red jade bottle and infused it with a spell. The bottle then emitted a crimson glow, which enveloped the white ice phoenix and drew it inside.

She seized the miniature nascent soul and performed a soul-searching technique.

Wang Yangsheng landed before Wang Yi'er, took out a Cyan Marrow Pill, and instructed Wang Yi'er to consume it.

The entrance to the Nine Swords Pagoda was opened with the Nine Swords Token. They entered the Pagoda to assist Xiuling and Xiulong; disciples of the Cold Flame Sect had also entered.

Wang Yi'er produced the Nine Swords Token and handed it to Wang Yangsheng, his voice weak.

"Grand Ancestor Yi'er, please focus on your recovery first. We will rush over immediately," Wang Yangsheng said with concern.

"Don't worry, I won't die," Wang Yi'er urged. "Leave one Void Refinement cultivator to look after me; the rest of you must quickly go support them. We absolutely must obtain the Nine Swords True Monarch's legacy, or Dian Long and Yue Qin would have died in vain." He coughed a few times, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Liu Yushuang searched Sun Xue and confiscated her belongings, finding a Nine Swords Token.

"Madam Xin," Wang Yangsheng instructed, "take Grand Ancestor Yi'er to the market town for recuperation and find an alchemist to treat him. We will rush over to provide support immediately."

A beautiful young woman in a green dress acknowledged the order and departed with Wang Yi'er, while Wang Yangsheng and his four companions flew into the distance.

A short while later, they stopped and landed before the Nine Swords Pagoda.

"Someone is approaching," Wang Yangsheng instructed. "Ruyi, you all enter the Nine Swords Pagoda and assist Grand Ancestor Xiuling in eliminating the Cold Flame Sect disciples. We will hold off the enemies."

He reasoned that the longer they held off the enemies, the greater the family's chances of obtaining the Nine Swords True Monarch's legacy. If they all entered the Nine Swords Pagoda, the enemies would simply follow them inside.

He infused spiritual power into the Nine Swords Token. The token blazed with dazzling spiritual light, and nine sword Qis of various colors swept out, striking the pagoda door. The pagoda door swayed slightly before swinging open.

"Great Uncle Yangsheng," Wang Ruyi said, "you only need to engage the enemies for a while. If you cannot defeat them, retreat immediately. I have already sent messengers to notify Grand Ancestor Lihe and Grand Ancestor Huayue. This sixth-tier puppet beast is for your self-defense."

Wang Ruyi took out a sparkling silver metal sphere and handed it to Wang Yangsheng. "Understood, go in quickly!" Wang Yangsheng agreed, accepting the metal sphere. Wang Ruyi, Long Qingfeng, and Wang Yongheng flew into the Nine Swords Pagoda, and the pagoda door closed behind them.

A moment later, a blue flying boat, over ten zhang in length, appeared on the distant horizon and halted after a few breaths. Four men and one woman stood aboard the blue flying boat. The leader was a fair-faced young man in a golden robe, who possessed mid-Void Refinement cultivation. The other four were all at the early Void Refinement stage.

"Yang Yan!" Wang Yangsheng's expression hardened.

Yang Yan, a mid-Void Refinement cultivator from the Cold Flame Sect, was Liu Yao's cultivation partner. As Liu Yao was a Thunder Spirit Root cultivator, her cultivation partner was naturally no ordinary individual.

Upon seeing Wang Yangsheng and Liu Yushuang, Yang Yan's expression turned cold. He was already aware of the full situation. While he might not engage in a death battle with Wang family disciples over other treasures, the Nine Swords True Monarch's immortal's cave was a different matter entirely. Li Qingyue had issued a direct order to locate the Nine Swords True Monarch's immortal's cave. He had heard Liu Yao mention that the True Monarch possessed a set of mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures, and he suspected Li Qingyue was coveting this very set.

**Peak of the Azure Lotus**

During the Integration stage, the Nine Swords True Monarch had completely outmatched the Heavenly River Sword Venerable. Unfortunately, the True Monarch never managed to advance to the Mahayana stage, yet the value of his legacy was immeasurable.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive," Yang Yan stated coldly, his face etched with murderous intent. The five of them, by either activating their Dharma Idols or manipulating their treasures, launched an assault on Wang Yangsheng and Liu Yushuang.

Yang Yan flicked his sleeve, sending three golden shimmering banners flying. He cast a spell, and the banners spun rapidly around him. As their surfaces blazed brightly, a vast expanse of golden flames surged forth. The flames violently churned, transforming into a colossal golden fire cloud that, carrying immense heat, shot directly towards Wang Yangsheng and Liu Yushuang.

Liu Yushuang and Wang Yangsheng each activated their Dharma Idols to meet the approaching enemies.

Wang Yangsheng summoned the sparkling silver metal sphere and infused it with a spell. With a muffled thud, the metal sphere transformed into a gigantic silver falcon. Countless silver runes illuminated its body, from which large quantities of silver electric arcs surged forth. The silver falcon puppet gently flapped its wings, sending hundreds of silver lightning orbs raining down from the sky towards Yang Yan and his four companions. For a time, booming sounds were incessant, and various spiritual lights intertwined.

Inside the Nine Swords Pagoda, within a spacious and brightly lit main hall, Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong stood together, enveloped by a faint green light barrier. A burly man in a golden robe and a graceful young woman in a purple dress were activating their Dharma Idols to attack them. Both were mid-Void Refinement cultivators, and not far away on the ground lay a pile of minced flesh. Four Cold Flame Sect disciples had entered the Nine Swords Pagoda and successfully caught up to Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong. After a bloody struggle, two of their early Void Refinement fellow disciples had been killed.

Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong each controlled seven green-glowing flying swords and seven white-glowing flying swords, using them to attack the burly man in the golden robe and the young woman in the purple dress. They were descendants of Wang Lihe, and both Wang Lihe and Wang Huayue had frequently guided them. Had their opponents not been two mid-Void Refinement cultivators, they would have long since eliminated them.

"Don't prolong this," the purple-clad young woman urged. "We don't know the situation outside, so let's finish this quickly." She then opened her mouth and spat a large mouthful of vital essence blood into a purple spherical bead. The purple spherical bead immediately erupted with dazzling purple light, and the flames surged, transforming into a massive, thick-bodied purple fire dragon that lunged towards their opponents.

The golden-robed man's body crackled with the sound of bones, and his entire form became enveloped in a brilliant golden spiritual light. His eyes widened, resembling an enraged Vajra, as he gripped two massive golden axes and strode purposefully towards their opponents.

Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong dared not be careless. Their sword incantations shifted, and with a clear, resonant sword cry, sharp sword Qis swept forth, slashing towards their opponents. The golden-robed man swung his massive golden axes, shattering the incoming sword Qis. The purple-clad young woman cast a spell, causing a purple shield to spin ceaselessly around her. As the sword Qis struck the shield, muffled thuds resonated, and the purple fire dragon shook its head and tail, dispersing the incoming sword Qis.

Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong chanted sword incantations. The giant sword phantoms above their heads radiated dazzling spiritual light, and with a slash towards the void, a faint green sword light and a vast white sword light swept forth. They merged into a single towering green and white sword light that cleaved towards their opponents.

The golden-robed man swung his golden axes and met the attack. With a loud bang, the towering sword light was shattered by his strike, and fourteen flying swords descended from above, completely encircling him.

**Peak of the Azure Lotus**

Seven green flying swords and seven white flying swords—the fourteen flying swords gently swayed, emitting bursts of sword cries. Sharp sword Qis swept out, slashing towards the golden-robed man.
