After hearing what the Immortal Emperor Cangyan said, the Immortal Emperor Fenxing's eyes lit up. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"
The Immortal Emperor Cangyan's lips curled slightly. "Anyway, we definitely won't lose out by following the big boss."
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing nodded in agreement.
The Immortal Emperor Cangyan said in a deep voice, "However, we just left a bad impression on you, senior. We need to think about how to gain your favor."
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing nodded and said, "Mm."
The Immortal Emperor Cangyan said, "Let's go, let's go see the sect leader of the Sword Sect."
With that, he and the Immortal Emperor Fenxing entered the Sword Sect.
After walking around the Sword Sect for a while, the Immortal Emperor Fenxing frowned and said, "I haven't found anything special about this small sect. Why is Senior stopping here?"
The Immortal Emperor Cangyan said, "Perhaps you prefer a reclusive life."
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing shook his head and said, "What's so good about this kind of reclusive life? Cultivators should explore the Great Dao and reach higher realms."
The Immortal Emperor Cangyan said, "Don't all the big shots like this? Besides, with your strength, Senior, you don't even need to explore the Great Dao."
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "That's true."
Soon, the two arrived at the Sect Master Peak.
Looking at the grand hall before them, the two Immortal Emperor exchanged a glance, then pushed open the door and entered. They saw Chen Wuhen leisurely drinking tea.
Seeing the gate open, Chen Wuhen raised an eyebrow and looked up. When he saw the two Immortal Emperor, he was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing as he asked, "Who are you?"
His eyes held a wary look.
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing smiled. "My name is Fen Xing, and this gentleman beside me is Cangyan. We are here to guard the gate on your orders, but before that, you asked us to report to you."
"Senior?"
A hint of doubt flickered in Chen Wuhen's eyes. "Which senior?"
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing blinked and looked at the Immortal Emperor Cangyan, "What's your name, senior?"
The Immortal Emperor Cangyan's lips twitched. "You're asking me? Who should I ask?"
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing fell silent, lost in thought.
A glint of light flashed in Chen Wuhen's eyes as he asked uncertainly, "Could it be that the Ancestor sent you?"
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing looked at him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded. "It should be."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wuhen breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought the two were there to cause trouble, but thankfully they weren't.
He looked at the two of them. "Did the ancestor send you to guard the gate?"
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing nodded. "Mm."
Chen Wuhen asked curiously, "So, what's your strength level?"
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing exchanged a glance with the Immortal Emperor Cangyan before saying, "Not strong, not strong at all, just at the Immortal Venerable Realm."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wuhen abruptly stood up, his pupils widening in disbelief, and exclaimed, "What did you say? You two are at the Immortal Venerable Realm?"
Seeing Chen Wuhen's expression, the Immortal Emperor Fenxing's heart sank.
Oh no!
Or is it stronger?
After a brief silence, he shook his head slightly.
Never mind, let's leave it at that.
He said, "That's right, we two are indeed Immortal Venerable, but only at the Immortal Venerable Realm First Stage, nothing to mention."
Chen Wuhen quickly approached the two, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Seniors, please don't be so modest. The Immortal Venerable Realm is a realm far beyond my reach. How could it be insignificant?"
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing smiled but said nothing.
Chen Wuhen asked, "Did the Ancestor ask you two to guard the gate?"
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing nodded. "Mm."
Chen Wuhen looked troubled. "With the strength of you two seniors, it's not appropriate for you to guard the gate, is it? How about I arrange for you two seniors to become elders?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Immortal Emperor Fenxing and the Immortal Emperor Cangyan immediately changed.
Immortal Emperor Cangyan quickly replied, "No, no, no, we two just like guarding the gate, we don't like being elders."
As he spoke, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Brother, are you trying to get us both killed?
The senior appointed the two of us to guard the gate, and now you're making us elders? Isn't that a slap in the face to the senior?
What if our senior gets angry and kills us?
Where can we go to cry then?
The underworld?
Seeing the two react so strongly, Chen Wuhen was immediately puzzled.
Why would anyone like to be a gatekeeper?
I don't understand.
But respect!
Chen Wuhen said, "In that case, the two seniors can go and guard the gate. Just let me know if you need anything."
The Immortal Emperor Fenxing smiled and nodded. "Mm."
After saying that, he and the Immortal Emperor Cangyan left the Sect Master Peak.
Star Spirit Peak.
Inside an attic, Jianxin and Xue Ying lay on separate beds, still unconscious.
Two disciples from the Sword Sect were carefully looking after the two.
At that moment, the attic door opened, and Su Chen walked in.
Upon seeing Su Chen, the two Sword Sect disciples immediately stopped what they were doing and respectfully greeted him, "Ancestor."
As they spoke, admiration appeared in their eyes.
Su Chen nodded. "Okay, you two can go back now."
The two Sword Sect disciples nodded. "Yes."
After saying that, they walked out of the attic.
"Etc."
Just then, Su Chen suddenly called out to the two of them.
The two paused, turned around to look at Su Chen, their eyes filled with doubt.
Su Chen said, "Go back and tell the disciples in the sect that from this moment on, the Sword Sect no longer needs them to take turns guarding the gate; someone else is guarding it now."
Upon hearing this, the two Sword Sect disciples were slightly taken aback, then asked, "Someone's been watching? Who?"
Su Chen said, "You'll find out later."
The two Sword Sect disciples nodded, asked no further questions, and turned to leave the pavilion.
After watching the two who had completely left, Su Chen turned his attention to Jianxin and Xue Ying.
After watching for a moment, he suddenly raised his right hand and pointed it at the void. Immediately afterward, two strong life energies surged from his fingertips and merged into Jianxin and Xue Ying's bodies.
Their injuries healed in an instant.
After a moment, Xue Ying and Jianxin opened their eyes at the same time.
Jianxin reacted strongly, abruptly standing up and looking around. When he saw Su Chen, he froze, then exclaimed with joy, "Master!"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Mm."
Xue Ying slowly rose, her eyes filled with sorrow, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "The... Sect Master and the others..."
As she spoke, her eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Su Chen looked at Xue Ying and smiled, "They're alright."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ying froze, a look of confusion appearing on her face. "Wh... what do you mean?"
Su Chen said, "The literal meaning."
He shook his head, saying, "I'm going to rest."
After saying that, he turned and left the main hall.
Xue Ying looked completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Doesn't the Ancestor know that something has happened to the Sword Sect?
He remained remarkably calm.
Jianxin then said, "Since Master has said so, then the Sword Sect should be fine."
Xue Ying looked at Jianxin, puzzled, and asked, "Why do you say that? What exactly happened?"
