True Solution of the Sword Dao

"It must be sabotage! Even though I’ve had some differences with Rocky Masno and the others, it’s too much of a coincidence that my plans are disturbed at such a moment." Feis’s face darkened, already alert in his heart.

"Someone is definitely causing trouble!" Name after name flashed through his mind, each one an enemy who bore a grudge against him. Yet, what puzzled him was that he had an understanding of their movements, including those of their avatars. He also had a general idea of some directions they might be in, and at such a critical time, it was unlikely that someone would be idle and just causing him trouble for the sake of it. After all, although Rocky had beaten them up severely, he had shown restraint. He didn’t make an irreconcilable enemy of the Holy See. An A-level strength character’s value was far too great. Few would exterminate an opposing avatar over a minor conflict, especially since no one knew if the opponent might have left another avatar somewhere unknown.

"If I find out who is causing trouble..." A cold gleam flickered in Feis’s eyes.

Not far from him, in the suburbs of Monkleyri, on a yellow terrain.

The area was deserted, with clumps of grass scattered randomly on the ground like green stains on a dirt-yellow cloth.

A hissing sound suddenly arose.

A black circle of light spread out in the center of the clearing. Four figures emerged from the circle.

Leading them was a young man dressed in black, with long hair tied in a ponytail. With bewitching features, a tall and well-proportioned body, and skin as clear as ivory, he exuded an eerie and mysterious beauty. He held a silver Longsword in his hand, its blade shimmering with a faint silver light, almost translucent as if it weren’t solid.

This person was Lin Fei, who had just arrived from the Night King’s Teleportation Formation.

The three behind him were naturally the reinforcements he had recruited for this occasion.

"I owe you a great debt for this time," Lin Fei said gravely.

"Lord Yan Fei, do you want Feis’s avatar to fall completely or merely to teach him a lesson?" the Night King asked. "We must confirm this point."

"Of course, it’s best if he falls completely," Lin Fei replied with a smile, "Since we of the golden faction have chosen the Dark Alliance, we naturally stand against the Holy See, not to mention that you were originally elders of the Hand of Radiance. There’s no doubt about it."

"In that case, we need to prepare thoroughly," Rouga said in a deep voice. "Any A-level strength character is no easy adversary, let alone an experienced A-level like Feis with potentially powerful trump cards at his disposal. We must be fully prepared. Furthermore, the Night King and I will not intervene directly in the battle to prevent him from recognizing us. I hope you understand. We of the golden faction are far from being a match for the Holy See as of now."

"Of course," Lin Fei nodded. "But it won’t be long now," he said with an implied meaning.

The Night King and Rouga both chuckled.

"We have been watching your and Lord Griffin’s developments over there, our long-standing bottleneck has loosened, and we are close to a major breakthrough. This is the best time for us to soar. Indeed, it won’t be long now...," the Night King said with a smile.

The fact that the two could drop everything and rush to Lin Fei’s call was not without their recognition of Lin Fei’s significant influence and power development in the Demon Realm. By comparison, though they had made considerable progress, it was far from what Lin Fei and Griffin had achieved. This was also an implicit acknowledgment of their willingness to be subordinate. Wherever one was, the strong reigned supreme, and the golden faction adhered to this standard above all.

"To prevent Feis from escaping, do you have any methods?" Lin Fei inquired.

"I have an Ancient Formation that should be able to temporarily restrict some of his actions for a short time. However, the duration is very brief, only two minutes," Rouga suggested.

"Two minutes? That’s plenty," Ning Que said indifferently, "Yan Fei and I acting together will be able to deal with an avatar quite quickly."

His tone sounded so naturally confident, it made the Night King and Rouga take another look at him, a flash of wariness in their eyes.

"May I ask who this is?" the Night King hesitated.

"I’m a friend of Yan Fei. You don’t need to ask more," Ning Que responded casually.

The Night King was not annoyed but just smiled and began to discuss with Rouga the Array they were about to set up.

"Rouga’s Array is called the Five Kings Formation. I’ve seen it many times, and it’s quite powerful. To seal an A-level avatar for two minutes is more than enough. It just requires some precious materials," he said.

Lin Fei was well aware of their intentions. "I will remember this favor, and if there’s anything you need, feel free to seek me out."

Rouga was pleased to hear this.

"I’m about to practice a Secret Technique, and I might need your help with a very troublesome material after this. The Night King needs something similar, and the materials we require are from the same place," he said.

"If it’s within my power, naturally I will not refuse," Lin Fei replied, not committing entirely.

"Of course. We are also so close to getting our hands on it. With you joining us, Lord Yan Fei, we definitely won’t fail!" Rouga said joyfully.

"Then let’s start setting up the Array." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Yes."

Lin Fei and Ning Que stepped back more than ten meters and watched the Night King and the other quietly.

However, Ning Que directly transmitted his voice to Lin Fei.

"I also know some sealing formations and Sword Arrays, but unfortunately, I don’t have the materials to set one up, otherwise we could be absolutely sure," he said.

"Isn’t it better if they lend us a hand?" Lin Fei said with a smile.

Rouga stood in the center and lightly tossed an object. A small, black, spiked ball immediately flew out and hovered in mid-air.

The ball was entirely black, resembling a hedgehog with spikes as long as fingers, and as it hung there, it also slowly rotated as if suspended by an invisible thread.

Rouga then began to murmur incantations toward the small ball. Red lines flew from his hands, encircling and rotating around the ball.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Fei and Ning Que realized that these red lines were actually thin beams of red light. Bright red and extremely vivid.

As time passed, more and more red lines emerged from Rouga’s hands. Soon, a multitude of red lines spun rapidly around the black spiked ball, forming a red sphere.

Rouga’s chanting grew stranger, sometimes deep, sometimes shrill, evoking the appearance of ancient shamans during their rituals.

His eyes widened ever more, and bit by bit, blackness swelled within his pupils, growing denser and denser until in a moment his eyes had turned pitch black, like two unfathomable ink wells.

The sphere in the air emitted a ’tsk’ sound and abruptly burst into countless red lines. The fractured red lines scattered over an area of several meters, everywhere to be found, still emitting a faint red glow.

Lin Fei and Ning Que once again retreated a few steps, their gaze fixed intently.

They saw Loja and the Night King completely enveloped in numerous red glows.

These red points of light naturally formed a bright red circular array on the ground, flashing in sync with the oscillating halos of light to the sound of Loja’s voice.

"Night King!" Loja suddenly yelled out.

Upon hearing this, the Night King immediately clasped his hands together, and a pair of colossal blood-colored eyes appeared behind him, emitting two beams of pale golden light that struck the array on the ground.

In the instant that the golden light touched the ground,

The entire array buzzed with a massive tremor.

Innumerable red and golden lights intertwined, forming a dual-colored pillar of light shooting straight into the sky.

"Yan Fei, now we just wait," Loja said with a smile as he stepped out of the array, and the Night King also directly exited.

"This pillar of light has barrier properties that ordinary people cannot see and will automatically seek the target and pull them to our location, sealing them for about two minutes. The rest is up to you," the Night King said with a smile.

Lin Fei smiled slightly and slowly drew out her longsword. She gently squeezed the sword sheath, causing it to shatter into countless silver dots that dispersed into the air.

Ning Que’s expression also grew gradually solemn. The silver crest on his brow lit up with a luminescent glow.

As time slowly passed, about ten minutes later,

A white beam of light rapidly approached from afar, its momentum astounding. The four people below all felt an overwhelming aura swiftly approaching, permeated with a thick, pure, and divine aura, clearly the Holy Power of the Holy See.

"Here they come," Loja said softly, his figure suddenly retreating backward, completely vanishing into the night.

The Night King transformed into countless small bats and scattered away.

Only a red-glowing array and two figures, Lin Fei, remained on the spot.

At the heart of the array, the originally straight golden-red column of light bent abruptly upon the arrival of the white beam, wrapping around it in an instant, like a serpent entwining the white light.

"What is this!!??" Feis’s voice, full of shock and fury, came from above.

In front of Lin Fei and Ning Que, within the midst of the dual-colored column of light, a figure in a black robe suddenly emerged.

This golden-red column had a teleportation-like effect, having directly transported Feis from the high skies to the array in front of the two.

As Feis was pulled down, the golden-red column of light suddenly dispersed, expanding into a dual-colored energy dome that completely covered the sky above them, forming an inverted bowl on the ground.

Still surprised and uncertain, Feis stood in the middle of the array, only then noticing Lin Fei and Ning Que in front of him.

"You...you are Yan Fei?" He immediately recognized Lin Fei.

Lin Fei smiled faintly but did not speak.

Ning Que, however, took a step forward. In his hand, a slender black longsword formed in an instant. Countless silver crests appeared around him, blooming slowly like flowers.

Ding!!!

He flicked the longsword lightly.

A ring of seemingly tangible soundwaves spread out.

"How many years has it been... I had thought that the time for drawing swords would never come again..."

Feis’s attention was instantly drawn to the heavy pressure emanating from Ning Que.

"Such a strong character like you is not unknown..." He gently grasped the symbolic cross before him. Waves of silver light radiated from his body.

Ning Que smiled faintly.

His fingertip traced the blade, and a trace of a blood bead appeared on the steel.

Boom!!!

A column of silver light erupted suddenly from his body, shooting out of the dome and soaring into the sky, connecting heaven and earth.

"Heaven Dominating Extreme Slash..."

In the midst of the sword’s hum, Ning Que raised the longsword high, and an enormous sword-shaped phantom slowly emerged behind him.

An extremely terrifying sword pressure suddenly erupted. Feis’s eyes showed a look of terror.
