Grandma Golden Flower

The next morning.

Su Nan, holding the Azure Frost Sword that Li Zhoujun had gifted her, arrived at Cloud Dwelling Hall early.

Upon arriving, Su Nan found Li Zhoujun already seated in the main hall of Cloud Dwelling Hall.

"Good morning, Master!" Su Nan greeted Li Zhoujun.

Li Zhoujun smiled and nodded, "Good morning."

"Let's begin. Perform a demonstration and let me see how far your swordsmanship has progressed," Li Zhoujun said directly.

"Okay, Master, watch closely!" Su Nan said, drawing her Flying Sword. As her figure moved, she began to showcase her swordsmanship in Cloud Dwelling Hall.

As Su Nan's swordsmanship grew faster, the temperature within Cloud Dwelling Hall suddenly dropped several degrees.

It had to be said, the little girl had immense talent and a profound understanding of the Azure Frost Swordplay.

After watching, Li Zhoujun found there wasn't much to guide her on.

"Master, how was it?" After finishing her Azure Frost Swordplay, Su Nan looked at Li Zhoujun with anticipation, wanting him to point out her shortcomings.

"Hmm, not bad," Li Zhoujun smiled. "I can see you have your own unique understanding of the Azure Frost Swordplay, which is excellent. As the saying goes, the master guides the way, but the cultivation is up to the individual. If you were to merely follow my path, you might only reach my level. However, I hope you can surpass me."

After hearing Li Zhoujun's words, Su Nan said earnestly, "Master, I understand."

"Mm," Li Zhoujun nodded and smiled.

"Is the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord here?" Suddenly, a mysterious old voice echoed from outside Cloud Dwelling Hall.

Li Zhoujun's expression flickered with surprise.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Mu Taiyu was drinking tea in Dao Tian Hall.

But the next moment, as if sensing something, he appeared in another great hall called Tai Ling Hall.

Inside this hall, a massive stone tablet was placed in the center.

Upon the stone tablet were countless names, some glowing with golden light, while others had already dimmed.

This was Dao Tian Sect's Life Tablet.

The Life Tablet was where, upon officially becoming a member of Dao Tian Sect, a dedicated person would engrave one's name. Names flashing with golden light indicated the person was still alive.

As for the dimmed names, they signified that the person had fallen.

At this moment, one name on the Life Tablet was flickering, alternating between bright and dim.

And the owner of this name was Murong Xue!

"Sect Master, the Lingxue Mountain Lord seems to be in trouble."

Just as Mu Taiyu appeared in the hall, the hall master of this place, and the guardian of the Life Tablet, Tai Ling Hall Master, suddenly appeared.

Tai Ling Hall Master was an elder with white hair, appearing no different from an ordinary person.

"Can you find her location?" Mu Taiyu asked Tai Ling Hall Master.

"In the area between Qingzhou and Yunzhou... Golden Flower Island," Tai Ling Hall Master said solemnly.

"Why did she go there?" Mu Taiyu's expression grew grave.

On Golden Flower Island resided Grandma Golden Flower, whose strength was incredibly formidable.

Even Mu Taiyu couldn't confidently claim he could defeat her.

Therefore, over the years, Golden Flower Island and Dao Tian Sect had reached a tacit understanding: neither would interfere with the other.

Yet, he never expected Murong Xue to go to Golden Flower Island.

"Sect Master, you absolutely must not go to Golden Flower Island," Tai Ling Hall Master said at this moment.

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

Mu Taiyu frowned. "What? Are you telling me to ignore Murong Xue's life or death?"

"Not at all," Tai Ling Hall Master said with a wry smile. "Sect Master, as you know, many forces overseas in Qingzhou are coveting Qingzhou, wanting a piece of the vast and resource-rich Qingzhou. If something were to happen to you, Sect Master, on Golden Flower Island, these forces would likely take advantage of the situation. At that time, Qingzhou might plunge into a bloody storm."

"Then what should we do?" Mu Taiyu asked.

"I do recommend someone to go to Golden Flower Island to rescue the Murong Mountain Lord," Tai Ling Hall Master suggested.

"The Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord?" Mu Taiyu asked, confused.

"Indeed," Tai Ling Hall Master nodded. "If my guess is correct, this Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord's strength is definitely the most outstanding among our Dao Tian Sect's mountain lords. Even those old mountain lords who have long since broken through to the Tribulation Stage and have been hiding their strength cannot compare to him."

Mu Taiyu shook his head. "No, the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord has very high talent. Reaching the Tribulation Stage at forty years old, his future is limitless. We absolutely cannot let him take this risk."

"Uh, but Sect Master, before you arrived, I already sent a clone to notify him."

Tai Ling Hall Master spread his hands helplessly.

Mu Taiyu: "???"

Just now, in Cloud Dwelling Hall.

"Great Tai Ling Hall Master, to what do I owe this visit?"

Li Zhōujūn walked out of the great hall and saw that the person who had summoned him was none other than the Tai Ling Hall Master.

However, the Tai Ling Hall Master's figure was ethereal at the moment, appearing to be merely a spiritual energy clone.

"Would it trouble the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord to make a trip to Golden Flower Island?

The Lingxue Mountain Lord has encountered trouble there. After much thought, I still believe this matter is best entrusted to the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord." The Tai Ling Hall Master said with a smile.

[Ding: Host's future wife is in danger. The System has issued a quest: Go to Golden Flower Island and rescue Murong Xue! The Host will receive generous rewards!]

"What do you mean 'future wife'?"

Li Zhōujūn looked at the quest issued by the System, feeling speechless.

Despite his thoughts, Li Zhōujūn still righteously agreed and said to the Tai Ling Hall Master, "Leave this matter to me. However, the situation is urgent. Does the Tai Ling Hall Master have a way to travel quickly?"

"Of course." Seeing Li Zhōujūn agree, the Tai Ling Hall Master immediately produced a jade cicada. "This is a Spatial Jade Cicada. Once crushed, it will directly teleport the Mountain Lord to the Murong Mountain Lord's side."

"Excellent." Li Zhōujūn took the jade cicada from the Tai Ling Hall Master's hand.

"Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, be careful. Grandma Golden Flower of Golden Flower Island is not someone to be trifled with." The Tai Ling Hall Master cautioned. With that, his figure dissipated.

Li Zhōujūn then turned to Sū Nán and said, "Your master is going out for a bit. Stay put in Cloud Dwelling Mountain and wait for my return."

"Master, be careful on your journey. You must save Mistress," Sū Nán said with a smile.

"You little girl, don't speak nonsense." Li Zhōujūn's forehead was covered in black lines. He then crushed the Spatial Jade Cicada.

The next moment, a sensation of the world spinning came over him.

Immediately after, the environment around Li Zhōujūn shifted like wind and clouds.

When the scene settled.

A golden snake-headed cane flew towards him, directly smashing into Li Zhōujūn's head with a bang.

The impact made Li Zhōujūn's vision swim with stars.

"Damn it, which bastard attacked me by surprise!" Li Zhōujūn gritted his teeth in pain.

"Who are you?!"

At the same time, an old woman's surprised shout rang out.

"Li Zhōujūn?!"

Immediately after, from behind Li Zhōujūn, Murong Xue's voice, filled with surprise and worry, echoed.

Hearing the voice, Li Zhōujūn looked closely and saw that the person who had hit his head was an old woman in a golden robe, holding a golden-tongued cane, with white hair.

The old woman's eyes were fixed on Li Zhōujūn with disbelief, staring at the large lump that had formed on his head.

"You were the one who hit me?!" Li Zhōujūn asked, covering his head with one hand, glaring angrily at the old woman.
