However, the three purple-robed elders remained unmoved, the leading one with crane hair and a youthful face squinting his eyes slightly.

The pressure around him grew significantly heavier, as he released the aura of a late-stage Elemental Infant without any restraint!

Upon seeing this, Lu Kangnian took a bold step forward, drawing all the pressure released by the elder towards himself, striding forward without a change in expression.

With each step Lu Kangnian took, his aura surged wildly.

By the time he stood three feet in front of the trio, his outward aura had completely overwhelmed the three Elders of the Purple Sun Hall!

Elemental Infant pinnacle!

Lu Kangnian’s eyes swept coldly over the three, speaking softly, “You three dare to strut around in front of me?”

“Who gave you the courage!!”

Boom!!!

From each of the eight main peaks of the Great Xia Sword Sect, a formidable aura shot up into the sky!!

Apart from Qin Xian and another Elder, the Peak Masters of the eight peaks emerged from their seclusions!!

The pressure of the eight Elemental Infant cultivators filled the Void, and within the territory of the Great Xia Sword Sect, fierce winds arose, with occasional thunder roaring incessantly.

Ten Elemental Infant Realm cultivators, standing upon the Void, surrounded the three purple-robed elders in an encirclement!!

Witnessing this scene, Li Guanqi clenched his fists tightly, perhaps guessing why the Elders of the Purple Sun Hall had come!!

Lu Kangnian, with squinted eyes, said, “Yu Chang, I call you Elder Yu out of respect for your age when we meet.”

“But have you forgotten that you are merely an honorary Elder of the Purple Sun Hall?”

“Daring to break the outer Barrier of my Great Xia Sword Sect, am I giving you too much face?”

The elder’s face turned shades of green and white upon hearing this. Once, Lu Kangnian would respectfully address him as Elder Yu.

But now, the other party dared to call him by his name!

However, Yu Chang was also secretly shocked.

“Two hundred years ago, this Lu Kangnian was only at the mid-stage of Elemental Infant, how has he become so strong now!”

Yu Chang maintained his composure on the surface, sneering, “Lu Kangnian, I am here today by the order of the Hall Master!”

“You should be very clear about what your Great Xia Sword Sect has done!”

Lu Kangnian scoffed.

“Oh? My Great Xia Sword Sect has been minding our own business, not bothering the Purple Sun Hall, right?”

“What have we done? Why don’t you spell it out for me?”

With a sneer, Yu Chang threw out a headless corpse!

Pointing at the body, Yu Chang said, “You should recognize this person, right?”

Lu Kangnian kicked the body and after pondering for a moment, said softly, “Ah… isn’t this Elder Zheng Hao of the Azure Sky Hall?”

“Tsk tsk, did he provoke some enemies? He died a rather miserable death.”

Watching the other party’s indifferent expression, Yu Chang shouted angrily.

“Lu Kangnian!! Look at the wounds on his body! Clearly, he was killed by someone from your Great Xia Sword Sect!”

“If you don’t hand over the murderer, the Purple Sun Hall will not let this matter rest!!”

At this moment, all the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect flew onto rooftops, looking towards the sky.

Everyone was somewhat baffled by the personal arrival of the three Elemental Infant Realm Elders from the Purple Sun Hall.

But no one noticed that Li Guanqi on the mountain peak was bowing his head, his eyes trembling!

“He’s dead!! Zheng Hao was actually killed!!”

Only he understood why all this was happening, and it seemed his previous guess was not wrong!

But he was also puzzled; just because he killed Zheng Hao’s disciple in the arena, the other party could be so vicious as to sabotage the secret realm gifted to the Sect.

Causing heavy losses to the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect…

Li Guanqi looked up at the sky, thinking to himself.

“So it’s true what Grandfather said, cultivators are indeed vengeful!”

At the same time, Li Guanqi admired Sect Master Lu Kangnian’s ruthlessness!

Faced with a Sect whose power was several times greater than his own, the Sect Master made such a choice without hesitation!

“These old fellows from the Purple Sun Hall are clearly here to make accusations!”

“What to do next…”

Sure enough!

Yu Chang looked at Lu Kangnian with a cold sneer, “I’m telling you, Lu Kangnian, playing dumb in front of the Purple Sun Hall is useless.”

Lu Kangnian sneered disdainfully.

“The Elder of the hall dies, and without any evidence, you come to my doorstep to pin the blame on me.”

“Yu Chang, were you a manure picker before you started cultivating?”

“Why is it that when someone dies, you say it was my Great Xia Sword Sect that killed him?”

“Isn’t it possible that it was Zheng Hao’s own enemies seeking revenge?”

Yu Chang interrupted Lu Kangnian’s words, “Hmph! There’s no need for your nonsense, since I can stand here.”

“It’s clear that I’m telling you, the Purple Sun Hall has evidence!”

Hearing this, Lu Kangnian laughed out of anger, retorting, “Oh? You have evidence? Then bring it out for everyone to see.”

“Show it to all the Sects in the Northern Region, why did Zheng Hao… die?”

His cold voice carried a genuine intent to kill, his sharp gaze scanning all around, also for the surrounding Sect spies to see.

Yu Chang clenched his fists inside his sleeves, at a loss for words for a moment.

After some investigation by the Purple Sun Hall, they had indeed found some issues, but as the investigation deepened.

They also discovered Zheng Hao’s deeds!

A secret jade slip issuing a bounty was enough to explain many problems.

Moreover, the death of eighteen Foundation Establishment disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect had already spread.

But even so, the Great Xia Sword Sect’s daring to kill an Elder of the Purple Sun Hall.

Still made the higher-ups of the Purple Sun Hall feel angry!!

This led to today’s scene of Yu Chang and the others coming to demand a person.

Yu Chang’s eyes flickered, and with a wave of his sleeve, he said in a deep voice.

“The dignity of the Purple Sun Hall cannot be trampled upon!”

“Three days, I’ll give you three days.”

“When the time is up, if you don’t hand over the person who killed Zheng Hao.”

The elder slowly turned around, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes as he spoke softly, “Then prepare for war, the Purple Sun Hall will flatten your Great Xia Sword Sect!”

After speaking, Yu Chang turned and said, “Let’s go!”

However, just as the three were about to leave, the pressure emanating from Lu Kangnian behind them surged, enveloping the three.

Lu Kangnian sneered, “Playing the saint while being a whore, are all the good people taken by your Purple Sun Hall?”

“So you’ve figured out the truth, but still choose to act this way to preserve the face of the Purple Sun Hall!”

“Fine! I’ll tell you, the person wasn’t killed by us, there’s no murderer to hand over!”

“If you have the evidence, bring it out, I’d like to show it to everyone in the Northern Region!”

Clang!

Drawing his long sword, Lu Kangnian’s lips curled into a cold smile, pointing the sword at Yu Chang and saying in a deep voice.

“Go back and tell Han Tiange, if the Purple Sun Hall wants to establish authority, they’ve picked the wrong person!”

Boom!!!

Three earth-shattering sword lights shot up, instantly forcing the three purple-robed elders back a thousand zhang!

Clang!

Sword sheathed, Lu Kangnian turned around with a sneer, “If the Purple Sun Hall wants war, the Great Xia Sword Sect is ready to oblige!”

The purple robes torn, Yu Chang and the two beside him had a sword wound on their chests, neither deep nor shallow.

Yu Chang’s face turned extremely ugly.

The once junior was now able to force them back with a single sword, his growth was too rapid.

“Damn it! When did the Great Xia Sword Sect have so many Elemental Infant Realm cultivators?”

The always silent person beside him spoke softly, “I suggest we report back as it is.”

Yu Chang looked down at his bleeding chest, saying in a deep voice.

“Hmph! A bunch of overconfident fools, still thinking they can compete with the Purple Sun Hall!”
