Eternal Saber

"Reporting to Elder Feng."

The attendant, with a look of fear, said, "Chen Tang has charged towards the Shadow Castle. With one slash, he reduced a radius of twenty feet to ruins; no one can stop him!"

"Utter nonsense!"

Elder Feng scolded, "To obliterate life within a span of twenty feet with one slash, you’d need to be a Grandmaster of Transformation Realm. How old is that Chen Tang?"

"It’s true."

The attendant quickly explained, "I saw it with my own eyes; his blade aura extended a full twenty feet. It was incredibly terrifying."

Elder Feng sneered, "You know nothing of a Grandmaster’s abilities, which is why you’ve made such a fatal error. Even a Peak Grandmaster’s blade aura couldn’t exceed ten feet!"

"Who are you?"

Elder Feng stared at the attendant and asked slowly.

The attendant looked innocent.

"Kill him."

The voice of the Hidden Sect came, "As a Hermit, having such emotional fluctuation has already broken the greatest taboo of a Hermit."

Elder Feng waved his sleeve.

The attendant felt a gentle breeze brush past his throat, a chill.

Immediately, he lost consciousness and fell dead!

"Clan leader, although exaggerated, Chen Tang should already be in the city."

Elder Feng said, "How about I go see for myself."

"No need to trouble yourself. This is just right to show him the combined strike techniques of the Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest divisions of Hermits."

The Hidden Sect ordered directly, "Summon the Hermits of the Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest divisions, coordinate with the remaining Shadow Tower Masters, and capture this youth alive for me."

Soon, four figures flickered and disappeared from the hall.

The Hidden Sect closed his eyes to rest, and after a while, his emotions calmed down.

The sudden news earlier had inexplicably irritated him.

It felt like a spontaneous, uncontrollable premonition.

"Chen Tang, he does have some courage, daring to come to Shadow City."

The Hidden Sect murmured, "I’ve heard this youth is the disciple of Emperor Wu. Once we capture him, I want to see how much of Emperor Wu’s bravery he possesses."

Ming Yue Wanderer knelt on the ground, sighed softly in his heart.

The future of Chen Tang is undoubtedly boundless.

But he is too young.

To rashly enter Shadow City like this is too reckless and unwise.

Not only will he fail to rescue them, but he will also end up trapped, gaining nothing for his loss.

"Report—"

Just then, a loud shout came from outside.

An attendant rushed in, knelt down, and said, "Reporting to the clan leader, the Shadow Tower Masters..."

The attendant glanced at the Four Great Elders and the empty seat above, hesitated, and was visibly frightened.

"Speak quickly!"

Elder Huo shouted.

"All the Shadow Tower Masters are dead."

The attendant quickly finished his words.

The Four Great Elders frowned.

Every Shadow Tower Master is a Celestial Concealment; if they joined forces, they could potentially kill a Grandmaster, and now they are all dead?

"Report—"

Another voice came.

The Hidden Sect remained expressionless, seemingly numb to the situation.

Several attendants hurried in, pale-faced, seemingly terrified.

The Four Great Elders saw these attendants were the elite from the Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest divisions.

"You just went, how come you’re back?"

Elder Lin asked with a frown.

A Hermit swallowed, trembling, "Reporting to the four Elders, the Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest divisions suffered heavy losses, were routed, and couldn’t stop his advance."

Elder Huo shouted, "Over the years, haven’t you been practicing combined strike techniques?"

"Useless, completely useless."

The Hermit, still fearful, said, "That Chen Tang wielded a long blade, slashing once, and the twenty-foot blade aura swept away everything, like paper to the combined strike techniques..."

"Where is he now?"

The Hidden Sect asked.

The Hermit replied, "Almost at the stone bridge."

Came so quickly!

The Four Great Elders were shocked.

Shadow Castle is isolated outside of Shadow City, surrounded by cliffs, with only a narrow stone bridge connecting to Shadow City, easy to defend and hard to attack.

Crossing the stone bridge would lead directly to Shadow Castle.

"Clan leader."

Elder Feng said solemnly, "It seems this youth is quite a handful. We should intercept and kill him."

"No need."

The Hidden Sect looked at Ming Yue Wanderer kneeling not far away, a strange smile appeared on his face.

-----------------

Chen Tang crossed the stone bridge and entered Shadow Castle.

Shadow City was still in chaos.

Inside Shadow Castle, it suddenly became extremely quiet.

Chen Tang, holding the ’Eternal’ blade, appeared calm and leisurely as he strolled around the Shadow Castle.

Turning a corner, Chen Tang arrived before a courtyard.

Inside, a man sat, clothes tattered, facing sideways, disheveled hair, pale face, a long blade laid on the table.

Seeming to hear a noise, the man turned his head.

Chen Tang’s eyes lit up.

Ming Yue Wanderer!

Chen Tang walked towards the courtyard, smiled slightly, and said, "Senior, I’ve come to rescue you."

Watching Chen Tang step by step into the courtyard, Ming Yue Wanderer remained expressionless, picked up the long blade on the table, and slowly said, "I’ve come to kill you!"

Chen Tang still wore a smile, and said casually, "It doesn’t matter."

Doesn’t matter?

This response puzzled Ming Yue Wanderer.

Before he could speak, Chen Tang continued, "You can’t kill me."

"We’ll see about that!"

Ming Yue Wanderer snorted coldly, directly manifesting the Grandmaster’s Phenomenon, a brilliant blade light appeared as if from the end of the void, and came slashing towards Chen Tang’s face in an instant!

Chen Tang casually struck with his blade.

The two blade lights clashed mid-air.

Clang!

The clash of metal echoed, sparks flying.

The Grandmaster’s Phenomenon behind Ming Yue Wanderer instantly collapsed, his long blade broke into several pieces, and he felt an overwhelming force, uncontrollably flying backward, while feeling a chill in his chest!
