"After the battle at Mount Tai Xu all those years ago, Master seems to be in quite good spirits now?" Cheng Lingshuang said.
"There is no need for further words. I came here to settle things with you all myself." Immortal Chi Yuan sighed. "The cause I planted must naturally be the bitter fruit I swallow."
Cheng Lingshuang glanced at Li Sushang and said, "Before we cross swords, there is one thing your disciple does not understand. I hope Master will tell me."
"If you wish to ask about Suyi, then when I arrived at Yijian Villa, all that remained was a sea of flames." One Xuanyuan Sword in Immortal Chi Yuan's hand transformed into a wristguard, while she held the other in her grasp.
"I see. Then Jiang Muyue was most likely responsible." Cheng Lingshuang continued, "In that case, Master, please bear witness to Ling Shuang's understanding of the Great Void Sword Qi over these years."
An overwhelming sword intent erupted from Cheng Lingshuang. It was Li Sushang's first time seeing her master reveal such razor-sharp brilliance, yet even such vast sword intent seemed so fragile before that grandmaster, who appeared to have no intent to fight at all.
Immortal Chi Yuan watched Cheng Lingshuang with a calm expression. "Ling Shuang, in these thousands of years, you are the only person I have seen who has comprehended 'Divine Essence.' I once thought you could become a great force in defending Shenzhou."

Cheng Lingshuang held a wooden sword, its tip pointed straight at Immortal Chi Yuan.
