Chapter 79: Starry Night Sword Shield
Chapter 79 – Starry Night Sword Shield
“Divine Flame Sect? Aren’t they targeting the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction, why would they suddenly attack us.” The crowd was somewhat clamoring.
Chen Fei’s brows were also slightly furrowed when he heard the name of the Divine Flame Faction.
This sect, in the vicinity of Immortal Cloud City, was branded as an evil sect to deal with. It targeted the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect on weekdays, and could be said to be at odds with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
Without a fixed sect’s residence, it had always been godly, but every time, it had been able to bring the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect no small amount of trouble. The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had also besieged it a few times, but after a while, the Divine Flame Sect would resurface again.
It was as if the Divine Flame Faction could never be killed off.
“The Divine Flame Faction has always been temperamental in its actions.” Guo Linshan shook his head and said.
Perhaps in the Divine Flame Faction’s view, the Yuan Chen Sword Faction could be considered a subsidiary of the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction, and killing some of your people simply shouldn’t be too normal. If it wasn’t for the Divine Flame Sect’s fear of being surrounded by all the sects, it was estimated that the other sects would have to live in peace on weekdays as well.
However, a few moments later, a few other disciples of the Marrow Training Realm also rushed back, and also brought back the remains of the two dead disciples.
“Senior brother Guo, that Changhong Sect’s people, will they be suspected?”
Inside the compound, Chen Fei asked as he sat next to Guo Linsan. It hadn’t been long since the convoy was attacked, and the people from the Changhong Sect came to their door looking for trouble.
“I don’t know.”
Guo Linshan shook his head and said, “It may or may not be. But on every mission, the Changhong Sect likes to send people to take advantage of small advantages, and our Yuan Chen Sword Sect is among the more bullied in their eyes.”
After saying this, Guo Linshan himself let out a bitter laugh.
The Yuan Chen Sword Faction wasn’t weak, but compared to the other three sects, it was still quite a bit worse.
The outstanding talents near Immortal Cloud City were first sifted through by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect before the other sects had a chance. Those that fell short, naturally continued to choose the best.
The Changhong Sect only accepted those under the age of thirteen and was stronger than the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, so of course the others went to the Changhong Sect.
One layer of selection down, those who went to Yuan Chen Sword Sect, not to say they were crooked, but it was true that in terms of the talent of the disciples, they were one step weaker than the other sects.
Although Kuang Dingbo was arrogant just now, one thing he didn’t say wrong is that the disciples of Changhong Sect who meet the age and can be allowed to walk outside are rarely at the Calcined Bone Realm, belonging to the minority of the minority.
But in the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, amongst the inner disciples, the number of Calcined Bone Realm disciples could be quite a lot. Chen Fei belonged to the older youths, and there were quite a few more of these older youths within the Yuan Chen Sword Sect.
“Senior brother Guo, you’ve perfected the fifth level of the Tong Yuan Gong?” Chen Fei changed the topic.
“Yes, it was a fluke success in the past few days.”
Guo Lingshan glanced at Chen Fei and laughed softly, “I also have to thank you, you’ve perfected the first weight of the Tong Yuan Gong in the past few days, if I had been any slower, I would probably have been chased over by you.”
Chen Fei was dumbfounded, this was stimulated by himself.
“When I go back after this mission, I should be ready to break through to the Viscera Practicing Realm, and then I will hopefully be able to compete for the legacy of a true disciple!”
Guo Linsan said softly, with a hint of anticipation in his tone. As a martial artist, everyone wanted to cultivate profound martial arts techniques to raise their realm up, and Guo Linshan was naturally no exception.
“Uncle Qian!”
“Uncle Qian has come!”
A disciple suddenly shouted out loudly, and Chen Fei and the two of them hurriedly stood up, and saw a middle-aged man standing there in the quarters. It was as if he was a Confucian scholar, but looking at his face, he gave off a sense of majesty without anger.
“Uncle Qian!” Guo Linsan hurriedly went forward.
“Tell us everything that happened, one by one, without any slightest omission!” Qian Lindu said in a deep voice. “Yes, Uncle Qian!”
Guo Linsan reported the ins and outs of what happened, one by one, including some of the details Guo Linsan found at the scene where the convoy was attacked and killed, as well as the disciple of the Changhong Sect, Kuang Dingbo, who had come to make trouble, all of which were told without any details.
A few moments later, Guo Linsan finished speaking, Qian Lindu frowned slightly, his expression grave.
“The herbs continue to be collected, and for the herbs afterward, I’ll escort them a few times!” Qian Lindu said in a deep voice.
If they were really targeted by the Divine Flame Sect, just by relying on the current disciples, they wouldn’t be able to protect them at all. Even if the Divine Flame Sect moved a little bit more, the disciples within this area of the compound were afraid to be in danger.
However, this possibility was slightly lower, unless they were facing the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Divine Flame Sect would rarely deal with several other sects so viciously.
Guo Linsan nodded his head in agreement, while Qian Lindu disappeared inside the garrison, he had to go to a few other sects to inquire if they were the only ones who were attacked, or if it was the same for everyone.
As night fell, the medicine pickers returned. With low visibility at night, there would be no more medicine picking and it was also somewhat dangerous.
As the bonfire rose, the people were talking in low voices, while Chen Fei practiced his stance in the woods on the side, while the longsword in his hand flashed continuously.
Guo Linsan sat on the ground and looked at Chen Fei’s practicing figure in the distance, and could not help but nod slightly.
This kind of effort made Guo Linsan feel somewhat ashamed of himself.
Previously, Guo Linsan had heard that Chen Fei usually hid in his room to cultivate and rarely went out for recreational activities. At first, Guo Linshan had thought that the rumors were a bit exaggerated, but now that he looked again, the rumors had said a bit less.
“It’s just that the root bones are a bit poor, it’s really unfair!” Guo Linshan muttered.
Some people were so gifted that they could be superior without much effort. While there were some people, even if they worked diligently and exhausted themselves, the results would not change much.
There is nothing you can do about it, because that’s the way things are in this world. As a result, some people begin to give up on themselves and spend their lives in a muddled way.
Some people do not admit defeat, or desperately trying, even if the results are very little, did not want to give up. As for the result, we leave it to God to decide.
“Luckily, Junior Senior Brother is in tune with the Tong Yuan Gong, practicing the Viscera Realm shouldn’t be much of a problem. And his enlightenment isn’t bad either, so there may not be no possibility of further advancement in the future.”
Guo Lingshan murmured in a low voice, then closed his eyes and began to operate the Tong Yuan Gong. With the Tong Yuan Gong cultivated to the fifth level of perfection, breaking through to the Viscera Practicing Realm would become a watertight matter, and there would no longer be a single obstacle.
The night was deepening, and Chen Fei’s figure was still flickering. In the next moment, Chen Fei’s figure suddenly disappeared from its original location and appeared in the treetops in the distance.

Chen Fei’s face could not help but reveal a smile, finally cultivating this stance to the top. And the Soul Chasing Steps after the Grand Completion did not disappoint Chen Fei.
Compared to before, Chen Fei’s speed had increased by tens of percent, deserving the name Soul Chasing.
Chen Fei looked at the longsword in his hand, and as he was in the treetops, the sword light suddenly spread all over Chen Fei’s circumference and up and down, and from afar, it was as if there were countless shields surrounding Chen Fei.
Chen Fei’s feet moved, the person in the treetops constantly flickered, any leaves and branches close to Chen Fei’s circumference would immediately be churned to pieces.
“Snort!”
A sword light suddenly flashed out from the sword shield, and the crown of the tree several meters away in the distance was suddenly flattened.
