Heaven Sword Strikes Again, North Suppressing King

"Eunuch Ye, you've worked hard." The smile of Daoist Longshan became more sincere.

no way.

He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him.

Perhaps the Great Flame Dynasty intended to show the martial arts sects of the world something, hence their generous spending.

First, there's the Daoist jade plaque, which is more of an honor than a practical thing. But for the True Martial Sect, which has a relatively shallow foundation, it is precisely the kind of "official permission" it needs. In this way, when True Martial Sect disciples go out to do things in the future, the imperial court will give them some face.

Secondly, there's the ownership of True Martial City.

Although the current True Martial City was expanded with the assistance of the True Martial Sect, the True Martial Sect actually only has the right to assist in its management.

But things will be different from this moment on.

The tax revenue and personnel allocation of True Martial City will be brought under the control of the True Martial Sect, which will make the True Martial Sect's foundation more solid. With True Martial City supporting the True Martial Sect, its growth will be faster. Moreover, if the True Martial Sect opens its Mountain Gate to recruit disciples in the future, True Martial City will also be a huge resource pool.

Finally, there is the Blood Yangzhi.

With the Blood Yangzhi combined with the Millennium Flaming Yang Jade previously gifted by Xiaoyao Jun, Daoist Longshan's injuries can heal even faster.

Eunuch Ye smiled warmly:

"We're just errand runners; True Person don't deserve such praise."

He casually mentioned it:

"The prince and princess admire the Sword Dao of the Heavenly Sword Real Person, which is why they came with me to True Martial Mountain. After seeing it today, they both feel that True Martial Mountain is a treasure land, rich in Spiritual Qi."

Li Ling and Li Qingyue, who had been looking around curiously, suddenly brightened up and looked at Daoist Longshan expectantly.

However, they remembered Eunuch Ye's instructions and refrained from speaking, lest they be impolite.

The Daoist Longshan immediately understood the hidden meaning in Eunuch Ye's words.

He simply smiled and said:

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Highnesses. However, Elder Tianjian is always elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. Even my desire to see him depends on his mood. Perhaps he has already descended the mountain to travel. If Your Highnesses like True Martial Mountain, you may stay for a while. Perhaps Elder Tianjian will see that Your Highnesses are clever and quick-witted and will take the initiative to meet with you."

Li Ling and Li Qingyue looked disappointed; they weren't stupid, and they could hear the subtle refusal in their voices.

Li Qingyue opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Ning Qi watched from the side, secretly chuckling to himself.

However, looking at the two innocent-looking children, he felt something was off. Logically speaking, given that True Martial Mountain was likely to be attacked by the Demon Sect, these two people of noble status should not be taking any risks.

Although they had Eunuch Ye, a Celestial Person Realm expert, accompanying them, it wouldn't be of much use if the Demon Sect really came.

Those two little brats are ignorant; surely the Emperor and the Prince of Zhenbei can't be that stupid too?

There are only two possibilities.

"Either the Great Flame Dynasty is certain that the Demon Sect will not intervene again, then having only one Celestial Person Being accompany them is not a problem."

"Either they're completely unafraid of the Demon Sect's attack, or perhaps there's a powerful figure secretly following them?"

Ning Qi speculated.

The Wind Sensing Chapter had already been operating silently, and wisps of invisible wind fell on each member of the delegation. However, what puzzled him was that although he found several Gang Essence Realm experts who had concealed their auras, none of them were at the Celestial Person Realm.

"Strangeness."

Ning Qi frowned slightly.

They stopped worrying about it afterward, since it wasn't a bad thing for the True Martial Sect anyway.

The Daoist Longshan had already welcomed the imperial delegation into the main hall and given them a welcoming feast.

period.

Everyone chatted and laughed.

Ning Qi could roughly tell that these two little brats had sneaked out. Of course, they only thought they had sneaked out, but judging from Eunuch Ye's reaction, it wasn't hard to tell that the person behind them knew very well.

"Your name is Ning Qi, right? I heard from them that you are the youngest disciple of Real Person Dragon Mountain. Have you met Heavenly Sword Real Person?"

The heir of the Prince of Zhenbei quietly approached and asked.

Ning Qi now possesses an indescribable air about him, making him easy to approach. This was true of Zhuang Chen before, of the old Bai Shan, and now of Li Ling.

Ning Qi shook his head slightly:

"I've lived on True Martial Mountain for over eight years and have never seen him. Perhaps he felt I didn't meet his standards."

Li Ling was somewhat disappointed.

"Sigh, I'd really like to become his student."

Ning Qi was puzzled:

"Why? The Prince of Zhenbei's mansion should have no shortage of the Celestial Person Realm experts, right? Your father is even ranked ninth on the Celestial Person Ranking. Wouldn't it be better if he taught you personally?"

Li Ling shook his head and said:

"You don't understand. First of all, they don't know swords, and all I want to learn is swordsmanship. Secondly, if they teach me without hitting or scolding me, I definitely won't learn with the same dedication."

Ning Qi glanced sideways.

Good grief, so you can't stand not getting a beating?

He didn't know what to say for a moment; he didn't understand the rich man's quirks.

However, upon closer reflection, there are indeed not many swordsmen on the Celestial Person Ranking. Although the King of Zhenbei has great power, the strongmen on the Celestial Person Ranking cannot be summoned and dismissed at will.

Ning Qi chatted casually with the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei.

He discovered that although the little brat sometimes spoke with a big mouth, he wasn't a bad person at heart. He was just too spoiled and had never seen the dangers of the world. In contrast, although the princess was amiable, he disliked the sense of superiority she occasionally revealed.

The welcome banquet has ended.

Li Qingyue complained to Li Ling in a low voice:

"Brother Ling, there's no point in staying here if we can't see Heavenly Sword Real Person. Shall we go back tomorrow?"

She wasn't as fervent about swords as Li Ling; in reality, she was more interested in coming out to see what was going on. By this time, she had already found the True Martial Sect boring.

Li Ling hesitated.

Eunuch Ye quickly advised:

"Your Highness, the Princess is right. We can't just keep waiting here for Heavenly Sword Real Person to show up. What if the Prince of Zhenbei finds out you've come out..."

Li Ling retorted with a sneer:

"So what if you know...?"

Eunuch Ye gave a wry smile.

Ning Qi paused, no longer listening. He had already wasted half a day; he might as well go back and study the Daoist scriptures and practice his Gang Qi.

The night sky was clear, and the stars twinkled faintly.

Ning Qi sat upright in the Scripture Pavilion, practicing the Great Grinding Technique of Heaven and Earth. The elixir combining the relic and the luminous pearl was still under research, and for now, he could only rely on his own cultivation.

The power of heaven and earth surged around, and the booming sound that only Ning Qi could hear relentlessly reverberated as strands of pure Gang Qi flowed from the millstone.

Look inward at yourself.

It can be seen that the White Mist Gang Qi within Ning Qi's body has become somewhat viscous, and its quantity has also increased compared to before.

This is a process of gradual accumulation leading to a qualitative change.

However, their strength will also be improved in the process.

Ning Qi estimated that with a little more practice, he would be able to use the Heavenly Sword Technique twice using his own Gang Qi.

Suddenly.

Ning Qi's heart skipped a beat. He stopped cultivating, stood up, and looked out through the window of the Scripture Pavilion at the distant horizon.

Several powerful auras are approaching!

Without the slightest hesitation.

Ning Qi used his divine sense to communicate with the fake core in his heart. In an instant, the power of heaven and earth he controlled surged at a visible speed. His eyes gradually turned cold, and his innate sword body had already silently begun to operate.

In fact.

It wasn't just because Ning Qi had keen senses, but also because those powerful auras weren't concealed.

The visitor is ill-intentioned.

An overwhelming aura of Sha Qi surged in from all directions, accompanied by a low chuckle, as powerful figures broke through the air.

Some disciples who had already fallen asleep were suddenly awakened and looked up at the sky in shock.

Daoist Longshan, along with his many True Disciple, had already come out to greet them.

They looked up at the sky, their pupils contracted sharply, and their hearts pounded.

All that could be seen was emptiness on all four sides of True Martial Mountain.

Each was accompanied by a powerful figure, their immense aura unmistakable.

Four Celestial Person Realm!

If that were all, Daoist Longshan wouldn't be so cautious. The most crucial point is that besides these four people, there is another figure standing at the very top. He is short in stature, but his aura is far stronger than that of an ordinary Celestial Person Realm.

Elder Wang gazed indifferently at the True Martial disciples below, his cold voice echoing in all directions:

"The True Martial Sect has aided and abetted the wicked, disgracing our Holy Gate; they deserve to be destroyed!"

Daoist Longshan took a deep breath and did not argue. He knew that the Demon Sect would not reason with him, and that the only option now was to fight to the death.

"True Martial Disciples, prepare to meet the enemy!" Daoist Longshan shouted, silently activating the secret technique of the Celestial Person.

Behind them, Luo Wentian and the others also had determined looks in their eyes.

They did not lose hope.

They knew that the venerable Tianjian had not yet shown himself.

Elder Wang sneered.

He reached out and slapped his hand, and a handprint dozens of feet long pressed down on the crowd. The handprint was shrouded in green mist and had a strong, foul odor. Even a faint whiff of it made people feel dizzy, clearly indicating that it contained a deadly poison.

The massive handprint emitted a hissing sound as it passed, seemingly capable of corroding the void.

Everyone was horrified.

Daoist Longshan's eyes were extremely cautious as he prepared to take the initiative to fight back, standing in front of his disciples. The person in front of him seemed to have strength no less than that of Lin Old Devil, but he could not retreat, as the rest of his disciples would be killed or injured in an instant in front of this person.

But someone was faster than Daoist Longshan.

Deep within the True Martial Sect, a familiar fluctuation rose, and the extreme sharpness of the aura brought a look of surprise to everyone.

"Heavenly Sword Real Person! I knew he was here!"

Luo Wentian and the others burst into laughter.

The familiar Heavenly Sword pierced through the air in the blink of an eye, stabbing towards the ferocious green handprint. Its unparalleled sharpness surged, instantly annihilating the green mist. Streams of Sword Qi erupted, and the handprint, originally as large as a small mountain, instantly disintegrated, turning into countless green dots.

Everyone watched this scene with excitement.

Li Ling and Li Qingyue, watching from a distance, were both excited.

"Heavenly Sword Real Person! I knew Heavenly Sword Real Person was still at True Martial Mountain. That sword strike was truly impressive! Even more impressive than the rumors!"

Li Ling's heartfelt praise.

His eyes held a longing.

"I wish I could learn this sword technique."

Eunuch Ye also sighed:

"With just this one sword strike, Heavenly Sword Real Person deserves a place on the Celestial Person Ranking!"

but.

After his reflection, he immediately gave the order:

"You all keep a close eye on His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess."

That's all.

He then took the initiative to charge out.

If he sits idly by while the True Martial Sect is attacked, how could the Demon Sect let them go after they destroy the True Martial Sect? It's no use hiding here; he can't escape anyway. It's better to fight back against the enemy together.

He hasn't forgotten.

The Demon Sect also has four Celestial Person eyeing them covetously.

Ning Qi unleashed a sword strike, shattering Elder Wang's large handprint. The Heavenly Sword then hovered in the void, trembling continuously, its sharp edge pointing directly at Elder Wang.

Elder Wang grinned, showing no sign of panic, but rather a hint of joy:

"Old dog Tianjian, it's good to see you here!"

"You've ruined Brother Lin's life, and today I'll make you pay a heavy price!"

He laughed menacingly.

"You cowards, hiding your true face, dare not show your true colors. Since you care about the True Martial Sect, then this elder will let you watch the True Martial Sect be destroyed before your own eyes!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

His figure soared through the air, creating boundless green mist. One palm print and fist print after another slammed into the Heavenly Sword. He grinned maliciously, blocking all the Heavenly Sword's sharp Sword Qi.

The other Demon Sect Celestial Person understood.

It was also a ferocious laugh.

Four Celestial Person and one swordsman unleashed a torrential downpour of Sword Qi, covering the True Martial disciples. The Daoist Longshan glared angrily and shouted, "You scoundrel, stop your arrogance!" before charging forward.

Another Demon Sect Celestial Person from the celestial realm attacked from the east.

But unexpectedly...

A burly, bare-chested figure suddenly appeared and blocked his way. He held a butcher's knife, his eyes wide with rage, and shouted:

"Damn it, you Demon Sect sect brats have pretty good noses! You're infuriating!"

The butcher's knife slashed through the air, each blade a manifestation of the butcher's fury.

The two Celestial Person were just transferred away a while ago, and then this Demon Sect came to attack. They really are like dogs.

Hearing the commotion from True Martial City, he rushed to provide support.

There are also two celestial Celestial Person the Demon Sect, one from the west and one from the north.

Eunuch Ye, with his ghostly figure, intercepted them halfway to the Celestial Person Realm to the north.

In an instant.

Nine Celestial Person were engaged in a fierce battle, the sound of which reverberated through the night sky. The aftershocks fell upon the True Martial Sect, causing pavilions to collapse and crumble. But this was not the most somber event for everyone.

Simply because there was still one person, a Celestial Person from the Demon Sect, who was alone.

No new Celestial Person Realm emerged to resist.

In this way, that celestial being from the Demon Sect Celestial Person was practically invincible, with no one able to defeat him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you old dog Tianjian, watch the True Martial Sect be destroyed!"

Elder Wang laughed sinisterly. He was somewhat alarmed by the strength of the Heavenly Sword Real Person, which was even more powerful than rumored. He could only hold his own against this Heavenly Sword True Person. Fortunately, the Demon Sect had an additional Celestial Person Realm expert, giving them the advantage. He mocked recklessly, attempting to disrupt the other's mind.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion.

Ning Qi frowned slightly.

His appearance and physique gradually changed, and an old man with white hair appeared.

Right now, I have no choice but to step in personally and fight two opponents by myself.

But Ning Qi had just lifted his foot when he stopped, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He said softly:

"Has it finally appeared?"

He sensed a new, powerful aura appearing near Li Ling and Li Qingyue.

Just a moment before, at the exact instant that Eunuch Ye made his move.

The Demon Sect Celestial Person immediately recognized his identity.

"A eunuch?!"

Many of the Demon Sect Celestial Person were stunned for a moment, then Elder Wang quickly reacted, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he laughed loudly:

"A eunuch from the Celestial Person Realm has come to bestow rewards; it seems there are people of considerable status within the delegation."

He hadn't expected this unexpected surprise.

Originally, they just planned to wipe them out when the delegation arrived, but they didn't expect to catch such a big fish.

"Old Zhang, go find that big fish!"

Old Zhang, the only Celestial Person Realm expert without any rivals, also laughed wildly. He had originally planned to slaughter the True Martial disciples to shake the minds of Real Person Dragon Mountain and Heavenly Sword Real Person, but now he had a new target.

The power of heaven and earth is constantly being sensed.

He quickly spotted those conspicuous targets.

A boy and a girl, protected by several experts at the Gang Essence Realm, had just run out of a collapsed building.

"Big fish, we've found you!"

Old Zhang laughed heartily. In a flash, he appeared in front of Li Ling and Li Qingyue. His pupils constricted as he recognized them:

"The youngest son of the Prince of Zhenbei? Princess Qingyue?"

He was so excited his body was shaking.

"A big fish, it really is a big fish!"

Elder Wang was also jolted, overjoyed, and quickly gave instructions:

"Take him alive! Take him alive!"

Old Zhang laughed loudly:

"Elder Wang, rest assured, I understand."

An overwhelming aura of Sha Qi crashed down upon the people in front of them. Several experts protecting Li Ling and Li Qingyue were sent flying back, coughing up blood, proving utterly ineffective against the Celestial Person Realm expert.

Li Ling and Li Qingyue trembled. Li Qingyue had completely lost her previous arrogance; her eyes were filled with tears, and she struggled to hold back her sobs. She had nearly been through a lot in the ruins, and her face was covered in dust. Li Ling was slightly better, but his legs were still shaking. He shielded Li Qingyue behind him and managed to shout:

"If you dare touch us, my father will not let you get away with it!"

The Demon Sect Celestial Person Being chuckled mockingly:

"Don't worry, your father will naturally come to me for help when the time comes."

He finished speaking.

A series of faint voices sounded behind him:

"Is that so? How do you intend for me to beg you?"

"Naturally, it's about cooperating with my Holy Gate..." Before the Demon Sect Celestial Person could finish speaking, his pupils had already shrunk to a single point.

Fear and horror surged into his heart, and he subconsciously turned his head, only to see a dignified middle-aged man in fine clothes standing there, one hand slowly reaching out, very slowly, but he was completely unable to resist.

That hand naturally gripped the Demon Sect Celestial Person's neck and twisted it slightly.

The Celestial Person perished.

The Prince of Zhenbei looked at the completely bewildered Li Ling and Li Qingyue, and smiled faintly:

"Now you know not to fool around, right?"
