Cangshan Sword Sect, Xuanjian Pond

The most important reason was that He Changsong had discovered a Spirit Sword here!

He Changsong was overjoyed at the time and intended to claim the Spirit Sword for himself.

However, no matter what methods He Changsong used, he was unable to pull the Spirit Sword from the stone wall.

Even using Internal Energy to damage the rock wall would be automatically repelled by the Barrier surrounding the Spirit Sword.

He Changsong was helpless, but he didn't want anyone else to obtain such a treasure.

So, he could only set up a Seal to conceal the Spirit Sword's aura, and named this place Xuanjian Pond, intending to retrieve the sword when his Cultivation Level advanced further.

He Changsong even established a rule.

No disciple of the Cangshan Sword Sect was absolutely forbidden from approaching Xuanjian Pond!

On the way to Xuanjian Pond, He Changsong was deep in thought.

After so many years, the Spirit Sword in Xuanjian Pond had shown no movement.

But why was there a disturbance today?

Thinking of this, a smug and triumphant smile suddenly appeared on He Changsong's lips.

Because he had a premonition that the Spirit Sword was about to Recognize Master!

He Changsong felt that after years of hard cultivation, his own Cultivation Level was already very high.

If he were to gain the boost of this Spirit Sword, he felt he could even challenge other major sects and annex their resources!

With this thought, He Changsong even quickened his pace.

Xuanjian Pond was located in the border area of the Cangshan Sword Sect.

In fact, He Changsong had initially planned to build the Cangshan Sword Sect with Xuanjian Pond as its core.

But later, He Changsong discovered that the Spirit Sword would continuously emanate Spiritual Energy and Sword Might outwards.

If it were just Spiritual Energy, it would be fine, but this Sword Might was quite troublesome for He Changsong.

In the long run, it would cause harm to the disciples of the Cangshan Sword Sect.

That's why He Changsong had to place Xuanjian Pond in the peripheral area of the Cangshan Sword Sect.

"Master!"

While He Changsong was still lost in thought, they had already arrived near Xuanjian Pond.

Almost all the disciples of the Cangshan Sword Sect were gathered here.

They all knelt towards He Changsong, their faces filled with awe and reverence.

"Why aren't you helping your senior brother complete the Seal?"

A young man in the crowd had a fawning expression on his face.

He was Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun's biological son, the eldest young master of the Gu Family, Gu Feng.

Gu Feng's eyes darted around, and he directly replied, "Because Master is coming, so we disciples are here to welcome Master!"

During his time cultivating at the Cangshan Sword Sect, Gu Feng hadn't learned much else, but his skill in flattery had improved considerably!

However, He Changsong said with a grim expression, "You are not helping your senior brother but are idly standing here!"

"If anything goes wrong at Xuanjian Pond, I will sacrifice your lives to the sword!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng was immediately frightened and lowered his head.

Then, He Changsong walked straight towards Xuanjian Pond.

A Spirit Sword radiating red light was embedded in the stone wall.

Below the Spirit Sword was gushing spring water, with a thin layer of white mist hovering on the surface.

This was not ordinary mist, but Spiritual Energy emanating from the Spirit Sword itself.

Normally, Spiritual Energy is invisible and intangible.

But this Spirit Sword also produced a very special Sword Might.

With the boost of the majestic Spiritual Energy and fierce Sword Might, a thin, visible layer of Spiritual Energy formed on the surface of the spring water.

Now, the energy field around the Spirit Sword was becoming increasingly chaotic, causing this white mist to dart around.

Seeing the Spirit Sword struggling more and more violently within the rock wall, He Changsong's eyes were filled with fervent joy.

"Everyone, step aside!"

"The Spirit Sword is about to Recognize Master!"

"Let me!"

With He Changsong's command, the three Protectors by Xuanjian Pond immediately withdrew.

He Changsong's long robe fluttered slightly, and his aura collided with the Spirit Sword's Sword Might, creating ripples of energy!

The several Protectors of the Cangshan Sword Sect couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the sight.

"Master is indeed Master; the moment they make a move, it's completely different!"

"This Spirit Sword is finally going to recognize a master after so many years. It seems the strength of our Cangshan Sword Sect is about to increase significantly!"

He Changsong suppressed the Sword Might emanating from the sword and walked towards it step by step.

He was already at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment.

As a powerful cultivator with one foot in the next major realm, He Changsong felt this was a sure thing!

However, when He Changsong endured the pressure from the Sword Might and tried to pull the Spirit Sword out directly.

He found he couldn't move it at all!

Meanwhile, Gu Youwei, having been drugged with Aphrodisiac Powder, remained unconscious on He Changsong's bed.

And in the hazy, chaotic sea of her consciousness, Gu Youwei felt like she was lying in a field of flowers.

Birds chirped, flowers bloomed, and everything was unlike the Cangshan Sword Sect.

Gu Youwei looked to the side in confusion and suddenly saw a very familiar figure slowly walking towards her.

When Gu Youwei clearly saw who it was, her eyes widened instantly.

Because the person was actually Gu Chen!

"No, where am I?"

"Didn't Gu Chen leave the Gu Family? Why is he here too?"

"Where are those people from the Cangshan Sword Sect?"

While Gu Youwei was lost in thought, Gu Chen had already walked straight to her side.

Gu Chen just stood there blankly beside Gu Youwei, not saying a word.

After a long silence, Gu Youwei couldn't stand it anymore.

But before Gu Youwei could speak, she felt a chill run down her spine the next second.

Because Gu Chen had actually dug out his Heavenly Dao Bone!

Blood instantly splattered across the green grass around them.

The scene shifted, and Gu Youwei found herself in a scarlet inferno filled with flames.

Gu Chen held the bloody Heavenly Dao Bone, his entire face hidden in darkness.

At that moment, the hatred in Gu Youwei's heart reached its peak.

"Gu Chen, do you want to steal my Heavenly Dao Bone again?"

"I'm telling you, you're dreaming!"

"In this life, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"

After saying this, Gu Youwei endured the intense pain in her body and stood up directly.

Countless Spiritual Energy swirled chaotically around Gu Youwei.

The Empress's aura and might surged through the bloody world!

Gu Youwei hated betrayal the most.

Especially when the person was her own brother!

"Gu Chen!"

"You! Must die!"

Myriad Spiritual Energy erupted from Gu Youwei's body, rushing towards Gu Chen from all directions.

The next second, Gu Youwei's figure disappeared from her original spot, instantly appearing behind Gu Chen.

However, the scene of killing Gu Chen she had imagined did not materialize.

Instead, Gu Youwei felt like something was missing.

She looked down and found a bloody hole had appeared in front of her at some point.
