The Penglai Sword Sect's Request

"Master, two guests have arrived."

Just as Lu Changsheng was bestowing treasures upon his third Disciple, Lin Qingzhi arrived at Azure Cloud Peak with two Elders from the Penglai Sword Sect.

Lu Changsheng and Mo Huazhi came out.

Lu Changsheng glanced at the two men; one was at the Fifth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and the other at the Third Layer of the Void Refinement Realm. "What are their backgrounds?"

Lin Qingzhi introduced them, saying, "These two are the Grand Supreme Elders of the Penglai Sword Sect. Their Sects once protected a disciple, saving him from the clutches of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion."

The two Grand Supreme Elders of the Penglai Sword Sect could vaguely sense Lu Changsheng's terrifying aura and knew that Lu Changsheng must be Dao Integration Realm expert, so they were filled with awe.

Dao Integration Realm experts are among the strongest beings in this world!

The position of the Mount Shu Sect Master is the same as that of the Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect!

The female Elder said, "We two come from the Penglai Sword Sect of Luzhou. Ten Thousand Years Ago, our Penglai Sword Sect had frequent exchanges with Mount Shu. Although the exchanges decreased after the passing of the two Sect Masters at that time, there was still a bond between us. Therefore, when our Sect Master learned that Elder Lin was Elder of Mount Shu, he risked offending the Pavilion Master of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion to protect Elder Lin, and thus offended the Pavilion Master of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion as well."

"Your Penglai Sword Sect has been kind to my Eldest Disciple, and I am not one to be ungrateful. You have traveled a great distance to visit Mount Shu, surely not to recount the friendship between Mount Shu and your Penglai Sword Sect, but rather to make a request. Am I right?"

"Your cultivation is profound; your guess was absolutely correct."

"You should know that there are seven Sects in Luzhou, which check and balance each other and have lived in peace for many years. Among the seven Sects, Wind-Thunder Pavilion ranks second, and our Penglai Sword Sect ranks third. Even so, Wind-Thunder Pavilion is not much stronger than us. But for some reason, in recent years, the cultivation of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion Master has advanced by leaps and bounds, and our Penglai Sword Sect Master is no match for the Wind-Thunder Pavilion Master."

"Not only that, the Wind-Thunder Pavilion has also joined forces with the Demon Sects Demon-Summoning Devil Palace of your Xia Province to attack cities and Branch Halls within the territory of our Penglai Sword Sect, plundering the Blood Qi and souls of living beings. As a result, our Penglai Sword Sect has clashed with the Wind-Thunder Pavilion."

"Our Sect Master said that since the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace is Demon Sects that originated from Xia Province, Mount Shu should also eradicate evil completely and join forces with our Penglai Sword Sect to wipe out the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace and defeat the Wind-Thunder Pavilion."

The two Elders of the Penglai Sword Sect explained the whole story in just a few words.

Lu Changsheng understood the Penglai Sword Sect's request; they intended to join forces with Mount Shu to defeat Wind-Thunder Pavilion and Demon-Summoning Devil Palace.

However, Lu Changsheng still noticed something suspicious. "Since there are seven Sects in Luzhou, why did the other five Sects stand idly by and watch your Penglai Sword Sect and Wind-Thunder Pavilion fight each other?"

The male Elder of the Penglai Sword Sect smiled bitterly, "You don't know this, but the seven Sects of Luzhou have always been evenly matched in strength. None of them are willing to submit to the others. They usually live in peace, but they are secretly competing with each other. The other five Sects would love for the Penglai Sword Sect and the Wind-Thunder Pavilion to fight each other, preferably to the point of mutual destruction, so that they can annex our Sects's territory and Law Treasures."

Lu Changsheng remained silent.

The relationships between the seven Sects of Luzhou are quite different from those between the six Sects of Xia Province.

The six Sects of Xia Province are closely united and will immediately join forces to deal with the Demon Sects should Calamity occur.

The seven Sects of Luzhou were constantly vying for power and fighting among themselves; when one was in trouble, the others would watch from the sidelines.

The Wind-Thunder Pavilion and the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace have joined forces, with a mysterious powerful figure from the Immortal Realm behind them. Their strength is growing stronger and stronger. However, the other five Sects want to see the Penglai Sword Sect and the Wind and Wind-Thunder Pavilion weaken each other before they step in to reap the rewards and completely annex the power of the Penglai Sword Sect and the Wind-Thunder Pavilion.

The other five Sects had a shrewd plan, but they underestimated the strength of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion and the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace.

The reason why the Pavilion Master of the Wind-Thunder Pavilion made such rapid progress in cultivation was mostly because he had an ancestor from the Immortal Realm guiding him in his cultivation.

A powerful cultivator from the Immortal Realm can use a portion of their Immortal Realm Cultivation Method to cause a Dao Integration Realm expert in this realm to advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds.

Not to mention, the progress in cultivating Devil Cultivation Method is much faster than that in cultivating normal Cultivation Method.

The reason why the Wind-Thunder Pavilion refines living beings must be to cultivate Devil Cultivation Method.

Once Lu Changsheng understood the connection, he had made up his mind.

Before the Wind-Thunder Pavilion Master and the Demon-Summoning Devil Palace Palace Master reach their full Devil Cultivation Method, they must be stopped.

Moreover, the Wind-Thunder Pavilion and Demon-Summoning Devil Palace are currently committing evil deeds everywhere. Destroying these two sects would be a great act of Merit.

Lu Changsheng was pondering how to increase the number of levels in the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

This is an opportunity to increase one's Merits.

Seeing Lu Changsheng deep in thought, the two Elders of the Penglai Sword Sect assumed Lu Changsheng was hesitating about whether to help the Penglai Sword Sect. The female Elder gritted her teeth and said, "Our Sect Master said that if Mount Shu can help our Penglai Sword Sect defeat the Wind-Thunder Pavilion, our Sect Master can offer Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill as a reward."

Her eyes were bright and alert, and she seemed confident. She believed that the rarity of Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill should be enough to impress the Mount Shu Sect Master.

Even for experts at the Dao Integration Realm, Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill is effective.

As for the even rarer Tenth-Rank Immortal Pills, even the Penglai Sword Sect cannot produce them.

"Ninth-Rank Immortal Pills aren't important; I have plenty."

Lu Changsheng was not swayed by the Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill.

It's just Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill, isn't it?

During the last Calamity at Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng used more than one Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill. Lu Changsheng also frequently used Ninth-Rank Immortal Pills to exchange for other items with the Elders of Mount Shu. This served two purposes: firstly, he could obtain what he needed, and secondly, it indirectly improved the cultivation levels of Mount Shu Elders, which was worthy of his position Mount Shu Sect Master. It was a win-win situation.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng really didn't care about the reward of the Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill promised by the leader of the Penglai Sword Sect Master.

Even if Lu Changsheng helped the Penglai Sword Sect, it was for his own purposes, not for the reward offered by the other party.

Even Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill couldn't sway the Mount Shu Sect Master?

The female Elder of the Penglai Sword Sect thought for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Our Penglai Sword Sect Master also said that if even Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill can't sway you, she's willing to offer one last condition. If Mount Shu can help our Penglai Sword Sect resolve this crisis, she's willing to give herself to you. Our Penglai Sword Sect Master is the most beautiful woman in Luzhou, admired by countless cultivators, all of whom have been turned away by her. What do you think?"

The female Elder stared at Lu Changsheng with bright eyes, believing that Lu Changsheng would not refuse the Penglai Sword Sect's request this time.

A book-reading app recommended by a friend of ten years! It's incredibly useful; I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here...

No one can resist the beauty of the Penglai Fairy.

This is the Penglai Sword Sect card condition.

The Sect Master of the Penglai Sword Sect offered himself to her? Could it be that the leader of the Penglai Sword Sect Master is even more beautiful than Xia Ningxue?

Lu Changsheng was not interested in this condition either. "I can help your Penglai Sword Sect, but not for the sake of your Sect Master."
