The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 784: Heaven Trailing Sword

Proofreader: Papatonks

Heaven-trailing Sword of the one sword five dragons!

Appearing before Venerable Shi was a cold man in his thirties. He had sharp brows and shining eyes, with but a hint of white on his temples.

He gulped.

He might look young, but Venerable Shi knew that he was as strong as High Venerable, known as Heaven Trailing Sword and even above the five dragons High Venerable was part of.

He never thought that since this operation was a cinch with the two sides joining up, Heaven Trailing Sect would send such a powerhouse here as well to make sure everything run like clockwork.

Venerable Shi hurriedly bowed, “Forgive me for not being there to welcome you, senior. I did not expect Sect Leader Ren to show so much care in our cooperation to even have senior here…”

“Sect Leader didn’t ask me to come. I came by myself.”

Heaven Trailing Sword cut him off, “Rare are those in the western lands’ nine sect that can catch my eye. While your High Venerable is of a past generation, I still respect him. “

Ugh!

Venerable Shi tensed and his face froze.

[What’s that supposed to mean? Did he come to help the old coot? As long as he lives, the betrayal will be ruined!]

Sweating like a pig, Venerable Shi was filled with worry.

The man mocked him, “No need to fret. Since it’s Sect Leader who leads the attack, the Heaven Trailing Sect will join him as well. I of course won’t disobey him. I only came to see him before he dies.”

He then showed a sad look and asked, “By the way, I heard that Sect Leader came to fight him. Were is he?”

“In the Main Hall’s side room. Go a mile forward and then you’ll find it on your side.” Venerable Shi eased a breath and guided him.

The man nodded and flew away, but not before saying his last piece, “Oh, right, you still haven’t answered my question. What are your thoughts on seeing your fellow people getting butchered?”

“Uhm, well…” Venerable Shi was lost for words.

The man laughed and mocked, “There used to be men in the Demon Scheming Sect, but from now on, there won’t be any more!”

The man was gone.

“Venerable Shi, who was that man? He’s too cocky!” One elder huffed, wanting to deal with him, “He was clearly mocking us. He may be from Heaven Trailing Sect but he’s too arrogant. We’re working together now, but not even Sect Leader Ren disregarded us. Everyone stands to gain from this…”

“Shut your mouth!”

Venerable Shi glared at him and sighed, “Even in the Heaven Trailing Sect, that man is an absolute existence, only beneath Sect Leader. He’s just like our High Venerable, if not more amazing.”

The man couldn’t believe it, “You mean…”

“Yes, he’s Heaven Trailing Sect’s High Venerable, Heaven Trailing Sword Xiao Yunshan!”

Venerable Shi sighed, “Thinking back to when Heaven Trailing Sect was still a lower-three sect, he alone rose the sect to be a middle-three sect in the Double Dragon Gathering, solidifying the sect’s position. That year, only he entered the Double Dragon Manor. He was a monster like Zhuo Fan is today.”

The elder gasped, “I didn’t think Heaven Trailing Sect would send even him. It’s too much. Our forces are more than enough, why…”

“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear he came by himself?”

Venerable Shi sighed, “Heroes respect heroes. He and High Venerable had been friends back then and now he came to send him off.”

The elder nodded and frowned, “As long as he won’t help him…”

“Relax, Heaven Trailing Sword is most loyal to his sect. Since Heaven Trailing Sect works with us, High Venerable is their enemy. The fact he came only assures of our success.”

Grinning evilly, Venerable Shi said, “High Venerable is dead for sure…”

The others nodded, with only Sect Leader Xuan ignoring them completely, focused as he was on dishing out pain and death. His eyes were crazed, “Kill, ha-ha-ha…”

[Ever since his son died, the old coot lost his marbles, ignoring even Heaven Trailing Sword.]

Venerable Shi pointed and the others sneered at the mad geezer…

Meanwhile, in the room, powerful waves spread out constantly that shook the room. Wiht one more explosion, the barrier was about to give.

Elder Yuan and Ren Xiaoyun fought bitterly, with every punch and kick enough to rend space and destroy everything. Such power made the Impermanence Five’ Vicissitude Domain shake as well and hard to maintain.

Xie Wuyue was panicking at the side because he could see that Sect Leader Ren was slipping. If he did not leave now, he would die at Elder Yuan’s hand.

Elder Yuan actually entered the Soul Harmony Stage and became such a powerhouse. Now that he fused with the earth dragon soul, he was tough as nails. Not even Ren Xiaoyun in the 2nd layer of Soul Harmony Stage could cope.

Xie Wuyue’s heart sank.

The violent flood dragon soul clawed at the Vicissitude Domain to get out, but it was just too strong even for the Sect Leader.

At this time, the worst happened.

Bang~

Elder Yuan flicked a dragon claw and slammed Ren Xiaoyun’s fist away, then used this chance to land three heavy palms on his chest.

Pff!

With a groan, Ren Xiaoyun spat blood and flew backward.

“Sect Leader Ren!”

Xie Wuyue cried out in fear.

[I’m done for. Sect Leader Ren lost! Now High Venerable will come for me…]

As Xie Wuyue lost his grip, Impermanence Five used this chance to send green rays at him to seal him up. Even the flood dragon had to howl at being stuck.

Xie Wuyue jerked and his heart sank in despair.

He would soon die…

Whoosh~

Elder Yuan’s palm struck with all his might for Ren Xiaoyun’s head, to finish him for good.

Ren Xiaoyun was startled and was about to dodge, but he was slow from the previous wound.

He was feeling regret for coming here in person instead of sending a bunch of oldies after this old coot.

Maybe he wanted to see the Hidden Dragon among the five dragons, Demon Scheming Sect’s High Venerable. He was after all the only person respected by Heaven Trailing Sect’s Heaven Trailing Sword.

Now look what happened. This old coot was so tough that he entered Soul Harmony Stage and now was about to kill him.

He brought this on himself.

He finally knew what it meant by curiosity killed the cat.

Not that it helped him now. Seeing the palm coming closer and the death it promised, Ren Xiaoyun’s heart sank, finding hard to swallow this outcome.

Whoosh!

However, they saw as a flashing sword wave came and Elder Yuan’s palm did not get to touch a single hair on Ren Xiaoyun, forced to take it back and jump tne feet away.

He then noticed his dragon scale arms were dripping blood, the armor ruined.

That was just one hit!

Everyone was in shock at the turn of events. Then came a cold face that stood next to Ren Xiaoyun. Those dead eyes, were devoid of joy or sadness, staring at Elder Yuan…
