The Guardian Lighthouse shattered in front of Qin Shi's eyes, but surprisingly, he was extremely calm.
"Haha, little guy, it seems like you're relieved?"
Qin Shi smiled bitterly. "After experiencing so much, I suddenly understand that some things are really hard to defy. Although the 36 of them have completely disappeared, they are still great. Their protection of the Sword Sect for the past ten thousand years is really respectable."
The evil demon nodded in agreement.
"But there's one thing I still don't understand. Why do you think it's me?"
The evil demon laughed and didn't say much. "As the Sword Soul said, everything is fate."
Qin Shi shook his head helplessly. "I don't know anything about fate, but since I've already agreed to it, I'd better hurry up."
After saying that, Qin Shi's black eyes shot out thick flames.
He stared at the huge Sword Demon in the distance.
At this time, the huge Sword Demon had already recognized Qin Shi's Sword Demon Infant. When the Guardian Lighthouse collapsed, the huge Sword Demon couldn't help but look up and let out a low cry.
The Sword Soul left the world, and the huge Sword Demon gradually became ethereal, as if he had already expected this day. He gently rubbed the Sword Demon Infant, revealing a kind and loving expression.
In the end, the huge Sword Demon turned all his strength into purple spirit light and flowed into the body of the Sword Demon Infant like stars in the sky.
"The Sword Demon's inheritance?" Seeing this, Qin Shi was stunned.
The evil demon smiled and nodded. "Well, it seems that this little guy is also blessed this time. The inheritance of the Sword Demon in the Purple Realm should be enough for him to break through to the Cyan Realm."
Qin Shi nodded. He didn't object to this, but he didn't agree with the evil demon's words. How sad was it to exchange the life of one's loved ones for power?
The rest had nothing to do with him. All he could do was wait silently for the Sword Demon Infant to complete the inheritance. He looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and sighed.
"Phew, I'm afraid that if I leave here, I'll have to face a fierce battle."
"You should have expected this day, from the moment you agreed to Qi Qing's request."
Qin Shi nodded without denying it. His black eyes seemed to flicker with a bright light.
…
On the other side was the Sword Sect.
In the blink of an eye, two and a half months had passed since Qin Shi had stepped into the Sword Tomb's Sacred Spirit Hall. There was only half a month left until the end of the Sword Tomb's Sacred Spirit Hall.
Outside, the disciples and elders, including Qi Qing, felt their hearts tightening.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud noise startled the crowd.
Immediately, everyone focused their attention. After the loud sound, everyone took a look at their surroundings. However, they did not discover any abnormalities, causing quite a few elders and disciples to become curious.
"Eh, what was that sound just now?"
"That commotion isn't simple. Our Sword Sect is protected by a huge formation. It's definitely not an ordinary person to be able to shake the entire Sword Sect."
"What's going on?
Could it be an enemy attack? "
Many disciples guessed.
Fang Qing also lightly knitted her brows. Her jade-like eyes flickered with a strange light.
"Sect Master, look!" Suddenly, Jian Qing, who was beside Fang Qing, exclaimed. Shortly after, he extended his hand and pointed at the Sword Tomb's Sacred Spirit Hall.
Fang Qing raised her eyes. When she saw the scene of the Sword Tomb's Sacred Spirit Hall, her jade-like face turned gloomy.
"Quick, look! There's an explosion!"
"What's going on?
Did the Sword Tomb's Sacred Spirit Hall explode? "
At this moment, the other disciples and elders also sensed the strange scene. Their gazes were fixed on the Sacred Spirit Hall.
Above the Sacred Spirit Hall, there was a high platform floating in the air. Billowing smoke spewed out in all directions. It was filled with an enormous explosive force.
The intense explosion caused the area within a thousand meters of the Sacred Spirit Hall to shake incessantly.
Fang Qing's expression changed slightly. Shortly after, she reacted extremely quickly. She said to Jian Qing and the other elders, "All elders, listen up. Join forces and form a formation to seal the Sacred Spirit Hall!"
"Yes!"
Clearly, Qin Shi didn't know that the collapse of the Guardian Lighthouse had actually caused such a huge chain reaction in the outside world.
Even if it was just the power of a remnant spirit, it was, after all, the thirty-sixth Sect Master of the Sword Sect. Regardless of whether it was lethality or explosive force, it was too tyrannical.
The powerful impact quickly caused the surroundings of the Sacred Spirit Hall to fall into chaos.
Countless disciples retreated in all directions.
"Damn it!
What a terrifying power. "
As the leader of the Sacred Spirit Hall, Jian Qing summoned all the Spiritual Energy in his body. Only then did he barely manage to stop the aftermath from spreading. However, his arm immediately turned numb. It made it impossible for him to continue fighting for a short period of time.
It wasn't only Jian Qing. Practically all the elders at the same level as him suffered the same fate.
When the scene was under control, Fang Qing bit her lips. Worry rose in her heart.
The nine elders responsible for protecting the Sacred Spirit Hall leapt to Fang Qing's side in unison at this moment. They said, "Sect Master, the Sacred Spirit Hall has been destroyed. This has never happened in the past ten thousand years. Should we forcefully open the Sacred Spirit Hall?"
Without waiting for Fang Qing to speak, Feng Sha spoke first, "Qing 'er, you absolutely can't do that. The inheritance stage cannot be disturbed in any way by the outside world. Otherwise, not only will all the previous efforts be wasted, but it's also very likely that the little fellow's bloodline will be in disorder. He might even explode and die!"
"But if we don't open it, we won't know what happens in the Sacred Spirit Hall. The Sacred Spirit Hall is the sacred ground of our Sword Sect. It's the inheritance ground of the thirty-sixth Sect Master. Can you bear the consequences if any mishaps occur?"
"If our sect doesn't have the Sacred Spirit Hall, our position in the eight regions will definitely plummet. At that time, if the other seven regions find out about it, they will band together and attack us. The ten thousand years of foundation of our Sword Sect will be destroyed in a day!"
"That's right, Sect Master. We can't delay it any longer!"
"Qing 'er!" Feng Sha shouted.
Being caught in the middle, Fang Qing felt deeply troubled. Her jade-like eyes stared at the Sacred Spirit Hall, which was covered in smoke. At this moment, the Sacred Spirit Hall was already in a very sorry state. The steel and diamond tiles outside had all turned into nothingness.
Fang Qing focused and took a deep breath.
"Let's wait and see. With Qin Shi's ability, it's impossible for him to make the Sacred Spirit Hall explode. Something must have happened."
Hearing this, Feng Sha heaved a sigh of relief.
As for the other nine elders, their expressions were gloomy. "Fang Qing, have you thought it through?
You are now the Sect Master of the Sword Sect. Don't make a mistake that will lead to an eternal sin. You will become the sinner of the Sword Sect for ten thousand years. "
"How can you speak to the Sect Master like that?"
"Feng Sha, cut the crap. For ten thousand years, we have only listened to the call of the Sacred Spirit Hall. We are only responsible for the safety of the Sacred Spirit Hall."
"You …!" Feng Sha rolled up his sleeves angrily and said, "Hmph, you've really grown up, haven't you?
When I didn't have you, I served the Sword Sect for a thousand years. Even your Masters have to address me as' Senior 'when they see me. Watch how I teach you a lesson today. "
Feng Sha took a stance, and the nine Guardian Elders didn't hesitate in the slightest. Their spiritual energy surged.
"Enough!" Suddenly, Fang Qing shouted. Only then did both sides stop.
Fang Qing glanced at the leader of the nine and said, "Elder Qian Yan, it's just as you said. I am the Sect Master of the Sword Sect now. We are still unable to determine how the situation will turn out. I hope that you can listen to me. My Master's remnant spirit is still in the Sacred Spirit Hall. Qin Shi is the person chosen by my Master. I believe that he won't act recklessly. I also believe that there will be an outcome in the end."
When they heard Fang Qing, the nine of them looked at each other. In the end, Elder Qian Yan, who was the leader, said coldly, "Fang Qing, I hope that you can bear the responsibility for the outcome in the end. Don't let the Sword Sect's ten thousand years of foundation be destroyed in a day!"
"Let's go!"
After he finished speaking, he shouted at the other eight. In a flash, the nine of them returned to the vicinity of the Sacred Spirit Hall. Qian Yan said to Jian Qing and the other Elders, "Move aside. We are enough to protect this place."
Jian Qing and the others were stunned. Then, they saw Fang Qing's signal and retreated.
Looking at the Sacred Spirit Hall, Fang Qing's heart was in chaos.
"Little fellow, please don't let anything happen to you."
Feng Sha, Lu Shan, and many of Qin Shi's good friends were outside the Sacred Spirit Hall. They were silently and nervously praying for him.
At this moment, Lu Shan suddenly stepped forward and walked to Fang Qing's side.
"Sect Master."
Fang Qing turned around and looked at Lu Shan. Her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed as she said, "Master Lu Shan."
"Sect Master, I think … something is wrong with the situation."
Fang Qing's face was gloomy as he said, "You also sensed it?"
Lu Shan nodded helplessly, "Old Feng Sha is too concerned about that little brat, Qin Shi. Therefore, he naturally didn't notice the change in the Sacred Spirit Hall. However, I can be sure that the huge explosion just now wasn't caused by the Sacred Spirit Hall."
Fang Qing didn't speak. She signaled Lu Shan to continue.
"I don't think the explosion of the Sacred Spirit Hall is a bad thing. I once read in the Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion. When the Sword Spirit Sect's Sect Master established the Sword Sect and established the Sacred Spirit Hall in the Sword Tomb, he left behind his last words. The Sacred Spirit Hall of the Sword Sect is enough to protect the Sword Sect for ten thousand years to wait for the Son of Destiny."
"Now that the ten thousand year promise has arrived, and the Sacred Spirit Hall in the Sword Tomb exploded at this time, it's very likely that Qin Shi is the Son of Destiny. In other words, from today onwards, the Sacred Spirit Hall in the Sword Tomb will no longer exist."
"Therefore, although there was a strong aftershock just now, it didn't really affect the Sword Sect. However … the explosion just now was filled with a frightening evil aura. I think … there will probably be an unforeseen event."
Fang Qing wasn't surprised when she heard this. It was obvious that she was well aware of this. At this moment, she frowned slightly and suddenly looked into the distance.
In the distance was the Sovereign Pavilion.
In her field of vision, three figures could be faintly seen moving swiftly in the dim sky above the Sword Sect, and they were charging towards Fang Qing.
Fang Qing's delicate figure couldn't help but tremble as she looked at the three figures, and she said in a light voice, "Looks like the unforeseen event you're worried about has already appeared."
Lu Shan was stunned, and only then did he raise his eyes. After that, when he noticed the three figures as well, his aged appearance became extremely miserable.
"That … that's … Zhang Hun?"
Om! Om! Om!
In an instant, the Sword Sect was in danger. The sky was enveloped by a powerful black glow of the sword. Zhang Hun, who wore a golden sword robe, flashed by, and he stood proudly in the sky with his hands behind his back.
Everyone revealed shocked expressions when they saw him.
The more it was like this, the more excited he seemed to be, and his bright and oppressive laughter resounded.
