Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Hurry Back to the Azure God Mansion

The Heart of Azure God emitted bursts of light, and Azure Bear didn’t know that after swallowing the six layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water from Yang Xiaotian, his injuries were temporarily suppressed.

Thinking about how Azure God Mansion was currently under attack by forces such as Nether Sect and Corpse Demon Sect, Azure Bear was both anxious and furious, rapidly flying away from the Death Sword Tomb.

Just as Saber God Zhao Feng and the troops of Azure God Mansion were sitting in meditation to recuperate, suddenly, Azure Bear’s anxious voice sounded, “Troops of Azure God Mansion, hurry back to Azure God Mansion at once!”

Azure Bear’s voice shook Heaven and Earth.

Saber God Zhao Feng was startled.

Then, he saw Azure Bear burst out from the Death Sword Tomb, turning into a streak of light, and flying rapidly toward the Azure God Mansion.

“Troops of Azure God Mansion, heed my command, hurry back to Azure God Mansion!” Saber God Zhao Feng didn’t hesitate any longer, he roared and, taking the lead, soared into the sky to follow Azure Bear.

The troops of Azure God Mansion also rose into the sky and closely followed.

Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others were already alarmed.

“Could something have happened to Azure God Mansion?” Li Bi was full of alarm and uncertainty.

Otherwise, why would Lord Azure Bear be so anxious to return to Azure God Mansion.

“Dean, should we also follow them?” asked a Supreme Elder to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing thought for a moment, finally shook his head, and said, “Lord Azure Bear’s command was for the troops of Azure God Mansion to return.” Then he told Li Bi, “Since things here are done, let’s count the number of disciples, and we will head back to Azure God Academy first.”

Soon, the headcount was completed.

“What did you say, Xiaotian is missing?!” Upon receiving the response, Chen Jing’s heart lurched, and he glared at the Elder in charge of new disciples, “Xiaotian was still here last night, how could he go missing?!”

Li Bi and the rest of the old ancestors also had their expressions change dramatically.

Now, Xiaotian was the treasured darling of the Azure God Academy. It would be very bad if anything untoward happened to him.

Upon hearing that Xiaotian was missing, Lin Mei’er, Yao Qingxue, and several other women all showed worried expressions.

Upon hearing Xiaotian was missing, Xie Buhui, Xiao Han, and others felt a secret glee in their hearts.

This place was close to the Death Sword Tomb. Maybe there were still residual Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls. With Xiaotian missing, he might already have encountered an accident.

Upon hearing that Xiaotian was missing, Buddha Son Tang Huan felt a sense of relief in his heart.

At this moment, he too hoped that Xiaotian would never reappear.

While Xie Buhui, Xiao Han, and others felt secretly pleased, suddenly, a figure came flying through the sky from a distance.

“Yang Xiaotian!” A disciple exclaimed with surprise.

Everyone looked, and wasn’t it Yang Xiaotian.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Lin Mei’er, Yao Qingxue, and several other women showed relieved smiles.

The anxious Chen Jing and Li Bi saw Yang Xiaotian returning and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Jing and the others all went to greet him.

“I just went out to circle around and see if there were any remaining Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, making the Dean and everyone worry,” said Yang Xiaotian, hurrying with his words.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian return, Chen Jing refrained from blaming him and smiled, “It’s good you’ve returned safely.” Then he said to everyone, “Since Xiaotian has come back, let’s head back to the academy then.”

After that, the people of Azure God Academy began to return to the academy by the same way they had come.

On the flying ship, Chen Jing had all the disciples take out their identity tokens to start recording the number of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls they had killed this time.

They started with the core disciples.

“Jun Xiaoyao has killed a total of 112,300 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls,” Li Bi announced while checking everyone’s identity tokens.

Jun Xiaoyao was in fact one of the Four Swords, namely Sword Jun.

He was also the Young Master of the Jun Family.

He was also the foremost among the disciples of Azure God Academy.

“Xie Buhui killed a total of 105,024 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.”

“Xiao Han killed a total of 105,360 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.”

Soon, the scores of the Four Swordsmen and Four Beauties were all tallied up.

The eight of them had all killed over a hundred thousand Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.

Next were the other Core Disciples and elder disciples.

Lastly, it was the turn of the new disciples.

There was still a gap in strength between the new disciples and the others, with most killing fewer than ten thousand Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.

Only a few, such as Fan Wufang and Buddha Son Tang Huan, managed to kill more than twenty thousand.

When it came to Yang Xiaotian’s turn, Li Bi read out with an odd expression, “Yang Xiaotian killed a total of 234,032 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.”

“What?!” As soon as Li Bi spoke, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief.

Xie Buhui and Xiao Han were even more incredulous.

They couldn’t believe that Yang Xiaotian, a new disciple, had actually killed over 230,000 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.

Since the flying ship was vast, with everyone stationed at different positions attacking, and there were too many Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, nobody paid attention to how many each disciple killed, so even Chen Jing found Yang Xiaotian’s kill count of over 230,000 to be surprising.

It was known that Jun Xiaoyao, who was the leader among the disciples of Azure God Academy and at the peak of the Venerable Realm, had killed just over 110,000.

“I only killed a little over 100,000, Yang Xiaotian, as a new disciple, it’s impossible for you to have killed over 230,000!” Xie Buhui immediately said.

“Indeed, even Jun Xiaoyao has killed just over 110,000. How could you kill over 230,000?” Xiao Han also added solemnly.

Chen Jing interjected, “For every Yin Ghost or Yin Soul killed, there is a record on the identity token; it can’t be faked.”

Xie Buhui, however, stared at Yang Xiaotian: “Yang Xiaotian, unless you can defeat me, we won’t believe it.”

Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, “Whether you believe it or not is none of my business.”

Xie Buhui and Xiao Han were both stunned.

Lin Mei’er and Yao Qingxue blushed at his remark.

Several bolder female disciples glanced down at Yang Xiaotian.

Princess Wan Ning and Bai Li couldn’t help but giggle softly.

Hearing Wan Ning and Bai Li’s laughter, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han looked sour.

“However, rest assured, there’s the academy tournament at the end of the year, right? I’ll participate in that,” Yang Xiaotian said to Xie Buhui.

Azure God Academy held an academy tournament at the end of every year.

However, the tournament was for Core Disciples to participate in, and if other disciples felt their strength was sufficient, they could also sign up.

The results of the tournament were also one of the important criteria for promotion to Azure God Mansion.

Yang Xiaotian wasn’t concerned about his performance in the tournament; mainly, he wanted to use the Four Swords to hone his own strength.

Hearing Yang Xiaotian say he would participate in the end-of-year academy tournament, Xie Buhui bared his teeth in a smile: “Good, I look forward to facing Junior Brother Yang then and personally experiencing Junior Brother Yang’s two Divine Grade Golden Cores and the twelve Sword Hearts!”

In the crowd, Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes shone upon hearing Yang Xiaotian would join the end-of-year academy tournament; he had long wanted to experience Yang Xiaotian’s two Divine Grade Golden Cores and the twelve Sword Hearts for himself.

However, as the leader among the disciples, it was awkward for him to ask for a duel with Yang Xiaotian, and since Yang Xiaotian was joining the tournament, it was the perfect opportunity.

When Chen Jing heard that Yang Xiaotian, a new disciple, wanted to join the end-of-year academy tournament, he frowned. Although Yang Xiaotian possessed two Divine Grade Golden Cores and twelve Sword Hearts, his realm was indeed too low, and there was a gap compared to those Core Disciples at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.

In his view, no matter how strong Yang Xiaotian’s combat power was, it was unlikely he could match those Core Disciples.

But since Yang Xiaotian wanted to participate, he couldn’t very well dissuade him; after all, it was a personal choice.
