Cao Xuesheng returned to Sky Swallowing Palace, and it had been a strenuous journey for him.
Sealing Sword Pavilion sent several groups of people to assassinate Cao Xuesheng, aiming not only to kill him but also to seize the Cold Cicada Sword he possessed.
The renowned Cold Cicada Sword, ranked eleventh on the Sealing Sword Pavilion's chart of famous swords, was just a step away from entering the top ten.
Moreover, this sword had a great reputation, having been used by several famous swordsmen in the past; thus, Sealing Sword Pavilion was particularly obstinate about acquiring it.
Unfortunately, Sealing Sword Pavilion underestimated Cao Xuesheng. Among the many masked people in Sky Swallowing Palace, Cao Xuesheng's strength indeed ranked towards the end.
But that was only because Cao Xuesheng had a shorter period of cultivation practice, just at the Minor Longevity Realm.
