“Don’t talk nonsense. Lorelai is at the bottom of the Heavenly Lake, right?”
Braydon Neal had already arrived at the eastern side of the Heavenly Lake. He had built a stone gate, and there were elders guarding it.
A total of four old men were sitting cross-legged at the door. They sensed Braydon and his group’s arrival.
“Greetings, Your Holiness.” The white-haired old man in front of him slowly stood up and bowed. “Ludlow Wynn of Heavenly Mountain greets the three holiness. Welcome back to the mountain, Seventh Holiness.”
“Where is my sixth sister?”
Braydon didn’t bother with formalities.
Ludlow looked troubled. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Your Holiness, Her Holiness is in seclusion. It’s better not to disturb her!”
“I’m asking you, where is Lorelai?”
Braydon’s eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
He did not have much patience with these people.
Ludlow and the others couldn’t cover up this matter.
Today, Braydon wanted to see Lorelai.
“Your Holiness,” Ludlow said in a low voice, “Her Holiness is injured and needs to recuperate.”
“Fifth Sister, help me kill him!”
Braydon brushed past him, pa.s.sing through the stone door and stepping on the water of the Heavenly Lake. He then walked toward the center of the lake.
No one dared to stop him!
Braydon, who had inherited the Spirit Summoning Monarch Art, was the most respected person on Heavenly Mountain, second only to the Sovereign Lord.
His status was above the other six majesties.
Ludlow turned around and knelt down on one knee. “Your Fifth Holiness, I’m just thinking for His Seventh Holiness. Those people from Mount Kingston are not to be trifled with. His Holiness’s strength has not yet reached its peak. If he sees Sixth Holiness injured like that, he will definitely take revenge. If His Holiness is injured again, how will we explain it to the Sovereign Lord?”
“You may leave!”
Jocelynn Newman didn’t make things difficult for them. She waved her hand and told them to leave. They should try not to appear in front of Braydon for the next few days.
Ludlow and the others stood up and quietly retreated.
Jocelynn looked at the water surface of the Heavenly Lake and frowned. “What Ludlow said makes sense. If Little Seven were to see Lorelai’s injuries, if he goes to Mount Kingston to seek revenge, we have to stop him.”
“I won’t stop him. I can use this opportunity to take revenge for Lorelai.”
Josette Hinton sat on the rock; she had her own thoughts.
Lorelai Patterson was injured so badly by Tyce Kingston because of Josette. No matter what, Josette wanted to avenge Lorelai.
“You’re no match for Tyce Kingston!” Jocelynn said softly.
“Nonsense!”
Josette refused to admit defeat.
However, Braydon had already reached the central area of the Heavenly Lake. As the water was surrounded by white fog all year round, Jocelynn and the others could no longer see Braydon’s figure. They could only feel his aura.
Braydon turned around and dove into the water.
The Heavenly Lake was so deep that one could not see the bottom. The water was so cold that it was bone-piercing. An ordinary pinnacle would not be able to hold on for fifteen minutes if they entered the water.
The chill of the Heavenly Lake seemed to freeze all the blood in Braydon’s body.
Braydon’s body was covered with a layer of vitality. His body continued to sink until he reached the bottom of the Heavenly Lake.
There was no light at the bottom of the Heavenly Lake, but there were nine mouths of springs.
The mouths of the springs gurgled with spirit water and spirit mist.
The spring water contained pure spiritual energy.
Braydon’s eyes flashed with shock. These were nine spirit veins.
Each spirit vein was larger than the one in Lenver Pond. It contained pure spirit energy, which made the entire Heavenly Lake contain spiritual energy. Spirit mist covered the surface of the lake all year round.
Above the center of the spring, there was an ice house. A girl sat cross-legged in the house.
The girl’s eyes were tightly shut, and her perfect body was completely naked.
Once they entered the Heavenly Lake, they had to take off their clothes.
Braydon, this simple-minded fellow, had forced his way in. The moment he saw Lorelai, he traversed across the water and pa.s.sed by the old stone tablet erected at the bottom of the Heavenly Lake. This was not a natural formation.
It was an antique.
There were ancient words on the broken stone tablet, but they were already blurry and could not be read.
After Braydon pa.s.sed by, he felt a bone-piercing chill. It wasn’t the cold air of the Heavenly Lake, but the sword intent contained within the stone tablet.
A sword intent that could pierce the heavens seemed to be able to break through everything in the universe.
A trace of sword Qi was activated from the stone tablet, as if it would burst forth with power when someone approached it.
Swoosh!
The entire Heavenly Lake was separated by a trace of sword Qi, revealing the bottom.
It was this terrifying sword intent that affected Braydon.
Braydon instantly felt a sharp pain as if his entire body was being torn apart. It was as if his body had been pierced by ten thousand swords. The sword Qi that seeped out of the stone tablet was extremely terrifying.
“Pfft!”
Braydon spat out a mouthful of blood. He was severely injured.
At the same time, the ice house above the mouth of the spring was instantly shattered by the sword Qi. Inside, there was a beautiful girl with black hair that fell like a waterfall on her shoulders. Not only was she disturbed by external objects, but she also seemed to have been attacked.
The power of the sword Qi from the stone tablet almost killed Braydon.
Lorelai, who was heavily injured, was caught off guard. She had fallen into deep cultivation. She was absorbing the power of the spiritual spring to heal her injuries.
However, the sword Qi from the stone tablet penetrated her body.
Braydon and Lorelai were both covered in blood.
Lorelai’s injuries were added to her injuries. There was already a piercing wound on her snow-white body’s left shoulder that was difficult to heal. It was pierced by a sharp sword, which severed her heart meridian. The power of the sword Qi also injured Lorelai’s eight extraordinary meridians and internal organs.
It was this sword that almost killed Lorelai.
It was impossible for such a serious injury to heal perfectly. It was bound to leave behind a hidden illness.
Even if she recovered, the hidden injury would cause Lorelai to be unable to advance her cultivation by half a step for the rest of her life.
This kind of injury would damage one’s lifespan.
Even losing a hundred years of lifespan was a small matter!
Even if Lorelai’s lifespan was reduced by half, no one would be surprised.
Because the injury was too serious.
“Lorelai!” Braydon rushed over and growled.
Lorelai’s eyes were tightly shut, and she was lying in the water. Braydon took her body with both arms and immediately noticed that the blood in Lorelai’s body was flowing backward.
Her vitality was flowing backward and rushing to her Baihui point.
With Lorelai’s severely injured body, a year of hard work would definitely be in vain, and she would die!
Who placed this stone tablet that would trigger sword Qi when someone got close?
It was clearly Lorelai!
One could imagine that if Lorelai woke up alone under the Heavenly Lake and pa.s.s by this stone tablet, with this kind of terrifying sword intent, it could break the defense of a supreme pinnacle and kill Lorelai.
Someone wanted Lorelai dead!
Braydon held Lorelai with both arms and said, “Eight pinnacle techniques, Thousand Feathers Technique, activate!”
Braydon, who rarely used the Thousand Feathers Technique alone, would use all eight techniques to suppress the Thousand Feathers Technique so that he would not be affected by the backlash of the Thousand Feathers Technique. At the same time, his body would not be affected by the Thousand Feathers Technique’s amplification of combat strength.
But now, Braydon had a sharp sword Qi in his body, and Lorelai was about to die.
Braydon had no choice!
Braydon had to protect Lorelai.
For this, he would pay any price.
After a long time, Braydon used the Thousand Feathers Technique again.
Feather technique.
A thousand white feathers shot through the bottom of the Heavenly Lake, and the light was extremely dazzling.
This was like the light of a banished immortal.
“Something is happening down there!” Jocelynn shouted angrily.
“Who left behind this sword Qi?”
Josette dashed into the bottom of the Heavenly Lake. The unfamiliar sword Qi made her and Jocelynn’s hearts palpitate.
Because they couldn’t withstand such an attack.
