As he watched the three women fighting, their bright cries and laughter ringing out from time to time,
a trace of shame rose in his heart.
He had always been busy cultivating, busy with sect affairs, and then busy with the Heavenly Way Alliance. He had never had time to stop and spend more time with the three of them.
It had probably been almost three months since he had last left.

The crushing pressure left him unable to breathe. He dared not slacken in the slightest.
Suddenly, as he watched the three women, he felt the weight of the passing years. Though they had only been apart for a few months, it felt as though many years had passed.

Yue Quan's bright laughter rang out.
"Bring it on! Phoenix Flame Sword Soar!" Guan Lu cried.
A phoenix shrieked, and white-flamed sword light burst forth, its blazing radiance lighting up the training ground.
"I'll join in too! One Sword, Icy Chill!"
Luo Jiangyan also gave a sharp cry. Her entire body seemed to transform into a flood dragon
