Do Me a Favor? I Was Just Teasing You

With such a magnanimous heart, it's no wonder that the Sword Immortal enjoys countless accolades throughout Spirit Province.

They are beings worthy of respect.

However, Chen Ning naturally couldn't reveal the system's existence, so he could only smile and say, "I appreciate Brother Sword Immortal's kindness, but I still feel a connection with this broken sword, so I won't change my mind."

"Since Sect Leader Chen has made his own choice, then I, Li, will not interfere."

Li Changtian was also pleased.

What he most desired was the inheritance of the Sword of Myriad Spirits.

It should be noted that the Sword of Myriad Spirits is Top-Grade Spirit Artifact, second only to Divine Artifact.

But the most precious thing is not even the Top-Grade Spirit Artifact itself.

Rather, it contains the Sword Dao insights and understanding of the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint.

This is what Li Changtian values most.

He was already showing signs of impatience.

"You have all made your choices. Now, meditate here. Once you have absorbed my true understanding of the Sword Dao, you may leave as you see fit."

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint then looked at Chen Ning and said, "I have a few more words to tell you."

Chen Ning cupped his hands and said, "Please speak, Senior Sword Saint."

"I am pleased that you have made this choice, but this choice means that you will be embarking on a path that I myself have walked. What you will face in the future may be enough to make you tremble with fear and shatter your imagination. You still have the right to refuse, and you can choose not to bear the responsibility that is not yours."

"Sword Saint Senior, this junior has made up his mind and will not change it."

"I admire your courage. On the day the broken sword is reforged, I hope you will complete what this saint could not finish..."

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint smiled nonchalantly.

I'm finally at peace.

Then, the figure of the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint gradually faded away.

In the final moments.

He reminisced about his life as if it were a revolving lantern.

A genius was born.

He achieved mastery of Sword Dao.

Transcending the ordinary and attaining sainthood.

The Sword of Myriad Spirits carries unparalleled glory.

In the latter half of his life, he sealed the Sword of Myriad Spirits among the mountains, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword and bearing endless responsibilities.

Final.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword shattered.

The Crimson Firmament Sword Saint has fallen.

The Sword of Myriad Spirits was his former honor.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword is his mission for the rest of his life.

For him.

Equally important.

Finally.

The figure of the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint vanished completely.

Between the two swords suspended in the air, the Sword of Sword of Myriad Spirits trembled.

It started buzzing.

He seemed to be grieving.

This moment.

Chen Ning and Li Changtian both felt the regret and resentment of this once unparalleled powerhouse.

And with a touch of gratitude.

They each bowed deeply.

Farewell, Sword Saint, on your final journey.

After a long while.

The two exchanged a glance and began to receive the inheritance.

Li Changtian sat cross-legged on the ground, his Divine Sense stirring slightly.

Try to communicate with that Sword of Myriad Spirits.

"Sect Leader Chen, then I, Li, will not stand on ceremony."

"Please proceed, Brother Sword Immortal."

Chen Ning smiled, while Li Changtian was completely absorbed in the Sword of Myriad Spirits.

A slight thought stirred within him.

Chen Ning also tried to communicate with the broken sword, the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

However, despite being a broken sword, it still possesses an air of aloofness.

It seems that taming it will take some effort.

Just as he was about to immerse himself in it with his divine sense.

Suddenly, Chen Ning felt a chill.

He then stopped what he was doing.

Really.

Then, several figures appeared in the ancient hall.

The leader held a black longsword.

The rest of the group also exuded a fierce and ruthless aura.

Neither of them are easy to deal with.

"Sect Master Lu, our strategy of waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump was brilliant! Who would have thought that the Saint's inheritance would ultimately fall into our hands? Hahahaha..."

"Although there was a slight mishap, it's nothing serious."

Lu Yuan squinted and chuckled.

Seeing that Sword Immortal Li Changtian had indeed entered a state of enlightenment and inheritance, he was extremely excited.

"Elder Mingshan, well done."

Upon hearing this, Elder Mingshan chuckled sinisterly, "It would be the greatest fortune for me if my skills could be put to use by the Sect Master!"

His special ability is to transform into a mosquito, and this transformation cannot be detected by any other power.

But it only retains the capabilities of mosquitoes.

They have no fighting ability.

If, unfortunately, someone were to kill you with a single blow.

Elder Mingshan will also perish.

But this ability was enough for him to secretly sneak into the Saint's cave abode to investigate after transforming into human form.

Upon seeing the Sword Immortal enter the state of receiving the inheritance, he dared not hesitate and immediately went out to inform Lu Yuan, who was guarding the entrance of the cave abode.

During the exchange among these individuals...

Chen Ning observed for a moment.

I seem to have a memory of one of them.

It was the leader.

His Lu Yuan, the sect leader of the Ghost Sword Sect in Spirit Province, and originally a disciple of Flying Cloud Valley.

He later betrayed Flying Cloud Valley and established his own sect.

Li Changtian was magnanimous and did not pursue the matter, but he was extremely heartbroken.

Furthermore, according to the information compiled by the Black Dragon Clan...

Lu Yuan has recently colluded with several minor sects; what is his purpose?

These sects are all places where people practice evil and heretical methods.

Even worse, some of these practitioners cultivate Cultivation Method that require the sacrifice of living people.

"Sect Leader Chen, I won't waste any more words. Time is limited, but I, Lu, respectfully acknowledge your position as the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect and do not wish to antagonize you. Your departure would be convenient for us, as we do not wish to damage our relationship with the Dragon-Seeking Sect. We only desire the Sword Saint's inheritance and Li Changtian's life."

Lu Yuan's face was gloomy as he slowly spoke.

No one understood Li Changtian better than him.

As a former disciple of Flying Cloud Valley, Lu Yuan had always harbored considerable resentment towards Li Changtian.

Despite his Lu Yuan talent, the Sword Immortal kept his mantle hidden, claiming that the Dao should not be easily passed on.

He couldn't wait any longer.

He then betrayed Flying Cloud Valley, taking with him a portion of the Sword Dao manuals.

He founded the Ghost Sword Sect.

But he never forgot Li Changtian's long-cherished wish: to open the Sword Saint's Cave Abode and obtain the Sword Saint's inheritance.

He had been keeping a watchful eye on things from the shadows.

Finally, Li Changtian headed straight for the Three Thousand Cloud and Mist Mountains.

Lu Yuan knew his opportunity had arrived and quietly followed.

But they only dared to guard outside the Sword Saint's Cave Abode.

They dared not trespass.

Li Changtian's cultivation was all-encompassing, and Lu Yuan knew that he could only have a chance to launch a sneak attack when Li Changtian was receiving the inheritance.

They then dispatched Elder Mingshan to disguise himself as a mosquito and enter the cave abode.

Hard work pays off.

After witnessing Li Changtian's predicament, Elder Mingshan immediately reported it to the authorities.

The group rushed over at once.

As for Chen Ning, although he is the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect...

But they still didn't pay much attention.

It is widely rumored that the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect has an extraordinary speed of cultivation, but he is still only at the Earth Martial level.

They didn't take this level of cultivation seriously at all.

And.

In order to seize the Sword Saint's legacy.

They could even kill Chen Ning and then flee to other states.

The Nine Provinces is so vast that even Dragon-Seeking Sect is beyond our reach.

After all, the allure of inheriting the legacy of Saint is too great.

For this reason, they were willing to take the risk.

"You won't give me any benefits, so why should I listen to you?"

Chen Ning spoke with an air of arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was delighted and said, "Sect Leader Chen is willing to do me a favor?"

That's great!

At most, it would come at a price, but that's better than making enemies of the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ning shook his head and said, "I don't want to, I was just teasing you..."
