Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God

“Li Qingyun is still alive!” Perfected Taiqing’s face turned grim when he saw Li Qingyun’s name on the Divine Weapon Rankings.

Thinking of the calamity back then, Perfected Taiqing felt uneasy.

However, right at this moment, a sword howl resounded from the immortal stone.

Hum! The sky seemed to tremble. So did Perfected Taiqing and countless disciples of the Clear Void Holy Land.

On the immortal stone, the Dragon Slaying Sword seemed to have awakened. Sword gleams burst off as the sword vibrated, emitting sword hums.

Then, with a buzz, it flew out of the immortal stone. After that, it instantly disappeared on the spot with a flash as if it had teleported.

“This…” Perfected Taiqing was horrified.

The Dragon Slaying Sword had awakened, and Li Qingyun had returned.

At the same time, two golden lights flew out of the Heavenly Dao Rankings and headed north.

“…”

The entire Clear Void Holy Land seemed to fall silent for a moment. Everyone was as quiet as cicadas in the winter.

Although young disciples had not experienced the calamity back then, they had heard of various versions of the legends and knew about the threatening words Li Qingyun had said back then.

Fear began to spread through their hearts.

“Holy Lord, since the Dragon Slaying Sword has flown away, we can consider it as removing a thorn in our hearts!” An elder persuaded.

“Indeed. Also, Li Qingyun’s cultivation has been crippled, and his meridians have been destroyed. Even if he cultivates again, he won’t achieve much. We don’t have to be too worried!”

“That’s right. Now that a hundred years have passed, our sect’s strength has advanced a step further. Our cultivation isn’t inferior to the Li Qingyun of that year. You, our sect master, have even stepped into the Tribulation realm. Even the Li Qingyun of the past was absolutely not your match!” The other elders echoed in agreement.

After all, they could not allow Li Qingyun’s threat to shake their Dao hearts.

“Mm, I’m not afraid of Li Qingyun. I just thought of something that happened in the past and had needless worries. Alright, the Divine Weapon Rankings have ended. Time to disperse everyone!”

“Yes, Sect Master!” Everyone cupped their hands and dispersed while Perfected Taiqing returned to the hall.

After the Clear Void Holy Land’s Great Elder, Perfected Wandao, returned to Taiyue Peak, he immediately summoned his personal disciples. “The Lingtian Mystic Realm is about to open. The few of you shall get ready to travel up north and inform the Huaxia sect alliance members to make preparations. In the meantime, investigate and see if you can obtain any news regarding Li Qingyun!”

…

Above Qingyun Sect. As soon as he finished his sentence, a longsword circulating with green light seemed to have teleported over.

It instantly appeared in his hand. Following that, a sword hum sounded like a dragon’s roar shook the earth.

A terrifying, threatening pressure swept over, scaring the flood dragon under Crimson Dragon King to retreat while its body quivered.

At this moment, two golden lights arrived. One entered Li Qingyun’s glabella, and the other landed in his hand, transforming into a fiery red herb that resembled a flame.

“Yo, it’s the Heavenly Dao Ranking reward from the Heavenly Fate Dynasty! Vermillion Bird Grass, Wu Chang, this Vermillion Bird Grass is useful to you. Here, it’s yours!” Li Qingyun laughed and handed the Vermillion Bird Grass to Wu Chang.

The Vermillion Bird Grass was similar to the Dragon Blood Grass, where it was a natural herb transmuted from the blood of the Vermillion Bird. It contained a trace of the Vermillion Bird’s bloodline power, a fire element divine power.

It was of great use to Wu Chang.

“Thank you, Sect Master!” Wu Chang bowed gratefully.

“Sect Master, do you require me to bring Young Master back from Nan’an City now?” Wu Chang asked.

He was well aware that Li Qingyun had not fully recovered his cultivation level and might not match up against the Crimson Dragon King at the Profound Void Martial Stage.

Unquestionably, Li Yu could demolish him!

Furthermore, Wu Chang could reach Nan’an City in less than ten minutes with his flying speed.

“No need. The two of us are enough to deal with this guy. There’s no need for my son to be involved!” Li Qingyun smiled calmly and formed hand seals.

Wu Chang nodded and swiftly transformed into a stream of light that fused into Li Qingyun’s body. Li Qingyun’s aura instantly soared.

“Hmph, you’re only at the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage after fusion. Li Qingyun, die!”

…

After the rewards for number one on the Divine Weapon Rankings were distributed, the light of the Heavenly Dao Rankings dimmed slightly.

The strange energy fluctuation between the heavens and the earth dissipated as well. The names of the rewards on the rankings disappeared one after another, and it went calm.

However, countless people were unable to calm down. They were still immersed in the shock brought by the Divine Weapon Rankings.

Of course, what shocked them was not the divine weapons on the rankings but Li Yu.

For a while, everyone in the streets and alleys of the Great Xia Dynasty was talking about Li Yu.

At the Dao Seeking Square. The Hundred Sect Recruitment Assembly officially began after the Divine Weapon Rankings was announced.

In the entire square, some young men and women gathered in front of the recruitment tables of the Jade Pure Dao Sect, the Great Sky Dao Sect, and the Star Dou Sect.

The recruitment tables of the other small sects were practically deserted, and it was more obvious for the big station of the Five Elements Sect.

On the other hand, the Qingyun Sect recruitment station was crowded.

“Thank you, everyone, for your kindness to my Qingyun Sect, but there are too many people. Today, we will only do the initial registration. Afterward, we will soon carry out the qualification evaluation to determine the final candidates!” Li Yu stood on the stage and announced loudly.

Everyone naturally had no objections. After all, every sect had a requirement for talent, and it was impossible to accept everyone.

At this moment, a man in the robes of a Five Elements Sect disciple flew over from afar.

However, he did not fly to the recruitment platform of the Five Elements Sect. Instead, he arrived at the Qingyun Sect’s recruitment station first.

“Li Yu, I have bad news!” The Five Elements Sect disciple exclaimed before he landed on the ground.

His words instantly attracted everyone’s attention, and Li Yu looked at him in surprise.

“Crimson Dragon King of the Netherworld Cult is looking for you for revenge. He killed our sect master and is already on his way to the Qingyun Sect!” That man continued to shout.

He had originally come to inform Elder Jin Yang, but he encountered him on the way.

Elder Jin Yang felt that he should inform Li Yu of this news directly, so he asked him to inform Li Yu.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Sect was not too far from Nan’an City. He believed that this message should be timely.

The words of the Five Elements Sect disciple instantly caused a commotion.

“Netherworld Cult? Crimson Dragon King?” Li Yu frowned.

He could roughly guess what was going on through this piece of information.

His father once said that Mo Lin came from the Netherworld Cult, so it was not unusual for someone from the Netherworld Cult to take revenge for Mo Lin.

However, in the beginning, the other party probably did not know that Li Yu had killed Mo Lin.

Therefore, the Crimson Dragon King first went to settle the scores with the Five Elements Sect before the Divine Weapon Rankings revealed the truth.

To be fair, however, the Five Elements Sect Master deserved it.

“I understand!” Li Yu did not know why the people from the Five Elements Sect had a conscience and specially came to inform him of this news.

However, it was clear that his sect was in danger.

Since the Crimson Dragon King dared to seek revenge, his cultivation must have far exceeded Mo Lin’s. He was probably at least at the Profound Void Martial Stage.

Even Wu Chang alone might not be a match for him.

Meanwhile, his father was still in seclusion. He wondered how his cultivation and strength had recovered. Would he be able to defeat that Crimson Dragon King?

“Ye Qiu, Ji Qinglan, Su Mu, I’ll leave this to the three of you. I’ll return to the sect first!” Li Yu informed as he jumped off the platform.

“Senior Brother, ride my spirit beast for your return!” Ye Qiu offered.

“Your spirit beast is too slow!” Li Yu walked forward and yelled, “Everyone, stay away from me!”

Hearing that, everyone scattered in surprise, creating a huge empty space for Li Yu.

At the same time, a bang was heard, and the entire stone ground of the Dao Seeking Square collapsed while Li Yu’s figure vanished on the spot.

The sonic boom transformed into a blast wave that flipped everyone in the surroundings to the ground.
