Jade Tree and Golden Flowers Subdue the Azure Dragon, Far-Reaching Luminous Wins Renown in the Sword Alliance

Zhaoying Hall.

Chen Shuangbai drew a sword with her fingers, and Lu Qingchuan on the opposite side did the same.

The two had no past grudges or old grievances; this was merely a friendly exchange, and the outcome would be decided in a single move, so it was naturally to stop short of a decisive exchange.

Lu Qingchuan's bright blue eyes flickered slightly, his right hand forming a sword-like finger that pierced through the air, and at the same time he softly called out, "Fellow Daoist Xuhong, greetings."

He pointed it out.

A beam of azure light shot out from between his fingers.

The Sword Essence shone only like a firefly, but after being three inches from the finger, it suddenly expanded and transformed into a dazzling azure rainbow. In the distance, it vaguely resembled a bright azure dragon, carrying a majestic and grand aura as it aimed directly at Chen Shuangbai face.

The reputation of the Liheng Sword Sect is quite renowned among the many sword-wielding sects.

This sect's ability to rally numerous large and small sword sects with a single call demonstrates its strength in swordsmanship.

Seeing that Chen Shuangbai showed no fear whatsoever, Nangu Yaohua admired him, but fearing he might not know the power of the Li Heng sword style, she took the initiative to introduce him, "Of the Three Liheng Swords, Senior Brother Lu cultivates the Azure Yang Sword Lineage, which belongs to the [ Law Sword ] category."

Chen Shuangbai nodded and pointed her sword finger in response.

This touch was very gentle, like brushing away a drop of morning dew from a flower petal.

But in the next instant...

Suddenly, a bright, clear light bathed the entire hall, and a jade tree the size of a bowl appeared out of thin air from within the hall. Golden flowers and jade branches, covered in golden blossoms, spread out layer upon layer, displaying their beauty in an instant!

Lu Qingchuan's Azure Rainbow Sword energy crashed straight into the golden jade tree, but just as it was about to destroy it, the golden canopy swayed and emitted a clear, melodious sound like gold and jade rinsing stones.

Then the tree was covered in golden blossoms, which seemed to come alive and cling to the bright blue dragon image.

In an instant, the azure dragon transformed into a golden dragon.

The golden dragon let out a high-pitched cry, like gold and jade clashing, then broke free from its sword master's control and plunged into the tree full of golden stamens, disappearing without a trace.

Nangu Yaohua was stunned.

Lu Qingchuan frowned deeply, unable to figure out how Chen Shuangbai had found him for a long time.

Chen Shuangbai flicked his sleeve, and the strange phenomena throughout the hall vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"Thank you for your kind offer."

Chen Shuangbai cupped his hands and smiled.

Since comprehending the [ Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture ], his understanding of swordsmanship has increased dramatically. The move he just made perfectly captured the essence of [ Supreme Yin Concealment ], concealing its Sword Essence, which naturally led to his victory.

Lu Qingchuan pondered for a long time before he understood a bit more, and a genuine smile appeared on his face. "As expected of the rising star [ Far-Reaching Luminous Sword ], I, Lu, am completely convinced of my defeat today."

"In that case, fellow Daoist should be able to attain Sword Intent before me."

"Truly a blessing for my path!"

Upon hearing the name " Far-Reaching Luminous Sword," Chen Shuangbai paused slightly, "You... where did this name come from?"

Nangu Yaohua smiled and explained, "In your battle Hengzhang City, Fellow Daoist, your sword light shone like a radiant flame, spreading far and wide... Therefore, many in our Sword Alliance who admire you have given you this honorific title... Don't you think it's quite fitting?"

Lu Qingchuan nodded in agreement, adding, "I was somewhat skeptical before, but now it seems... well, fellow Daoist, you truly deserve this title!"

Chen Shuangbai was both amused and exasperated.

I've never even been to the Li Kingdom before, and yet they've given me such an honorific title... For a moment, I've developed quite a bit of goodwill towards the Sword Alliance.

So, while the iron was hot, he pulled the two aside and explained the basic principles of dealing with the two alliances. He also learned that the Sword Alliance was currently waging war against the Blood Sea Dao and the Lifeless City in the West Kingdom.

Speaking of these two Devil Dao Sect, both Nangu Yaohua and Lu Qingchuan showed disgust, saying hatefully, "The reason why the mortals of the West Kingdom are suffering so much today is mostly due to these two demonic sects!"

"Our Sword Alliance is now assembling a large army, ready to wipe out the Demon Cave and restore peace to the West Kingdom!"

Chen Shuangbai listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "How is the situation in the Sword Alliance's campaign against Blood Sea Dao and Lifeless City?"

"Naturally, we will achieve resounding victories!"

That would be a good thing!

After exchanging a few more words, the three realized it was getting late, so the two Golden Core cultivators from the Sword Alliance took their leave, transforming into two streaks of sword light as they left Sunken Jade Valley and disappeared into the colorful clouds.

Ding Chengyu walked out of the hall and stood behind Chen Shuangbai, his gaze fixed on the two disappearing sword lights.

This was a scene he had never seen before.

"That's true... I died at the Foundation Establishment stage, so I wasn't considered a core member of the sect. My perspective was limited, so naturally I couldn't know so much."

He also recalled something else, namely the Heavenly Spring Peak Master who had betrayed the sect...

Thinking of this person, Ding Chengyu's gaze turned murderous.

He naturally hated this person intensely.

He harmed many disciples and even stole the sect's most precious treasure, the Azure Yi Mystic Cauldron... but there was nothing he could do about it.

"I've been secretly investigating for years, but I never imagined he'd still succeed..."

This was also a level he had never encountered before, because this news was still being kept secret by the Jade Spring Sect and was only circulating among Golden Core and a few Foundation Establishment.

Chen Shuangbai noticed the strange look in Ding Chengyu's eyes, turned around to look at her senior brother, and asked, " Senior Brother Ding?"

Ding Chengyu then came to his senses, shook his head, and said, " Dao Child, Yizheng Hall requested a batch of third-tier spiritual resources from the Expenditure Hall, but the sect doesn't have any, so we need to purchase them from the Jade Wave Immortal Market... I've come to ask for your opinion?"

Chen Shuangbai nodded and said, "Granted."

"Yes."

"Besides this, there is another matter..."

What is it?

"Let me explain."

Another streak of dark light flew in from outside the hall, landing in front of it and transforming into a bronze-skinned man with emerald green eyes and a few exotic features. He strode up to Chen Shuangbai and hurriedly bowed, saying, " Gu Du has fallen into the Black River Water Manor, and his fate is still unknown. I beg you, Dao Child, to lend a helping hand and save him!"

Chen Shuangbai was taken aback, then realized who he was referring to and asked, "What's the reason behind this?"

This person was none other than Heiming Xuanzhao.

The Gu Du mentioned by Heiming Xuanzhao is none other than Heiming Gu Du, a descendant of the Dark Crow Tribe of Great Li Mountain who is valued by this generation's Great Shaman and is very likely to become the next Great Shaman. No wonder Heiming Xuanzhao in such a hurry.

He then composed himself and explained the whole story in detail, "After he delivered the message for Dao Child last time, he traveled around the territory of my Jing Kingdom. Afterwards, he sent me the clan's secret Shaman Incantation Secret Method, saying that he was going to the Black River Water Manor in the Zhao Kingdom to find a poison for refining Shaman Incantation."

"After that, we kept in touch, but then we lost contact completely a few months ago."

"I used Secret Method to observe his aura; it was in a state between death and rebirth... I originally intended to go there myself, but the Black River Water Manor and the Profound Firmament Sect are currently locked in a fierce battle; if Foundation Establishment went, he would only perish..."

After much thought, the only option left is to ask the Daoist Dao Child to see if we can use the sect's name to get the person back.
