I Know That Sword Immortal Very Well

"So there really was someone following us?"

Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

He had only been in mid-air for a short while when he noticed someone following him.

And just as expected, this is exactly what has happened.

I didn't expect that a choice would be triggered unexpectedly.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi glanced at the three rewards.

[Phantom Body Running Art]: Saint Rank High Grade. Once activated, it can generate numerous illusory bodies with similar auras, making them difficult to distinguish for those without strong willpower. Whether for attack or escape, it can create extremely strong interference.

[Heaven-Burning Flame Domain]: A Saint Rank Peak Grade talisman. Produced by the system, its power is maximized, equivalent to a full-force attack from the Saint Realm expert. Upon use, it creates a flame domain that incinerates enemies, obliterates their souls, and prevents their escape, reducing them to ashes without leaving a trace. It is ineffective against storage items...

[Eminent Monk's Buddha Bone]: Saint Rank Peak Grade. The Buddha's bone of an enlightened high-ranking monk. Those who possess this item are all compassionate and merciful, dedicated to helping others and Jishi. Integrating it into one's body can deepen one's Buddhist affinity and pave a smooth path to enlightenment...

After carefully comparing the rewards with the options, Lu Changzhi's expression became somewhat strange.

"Is this third reward correct?"

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

This is somewhat different from what he understood.

However, he wasn't particularly interested in Buddhist or other such things.

"However, this Ma Clan..."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi asked Xiao Ye.

It turns out that the Ma Clan and the Xiao Clan family are mortal enemies.

Over the years, as the Ma Clan's power has grown and its network of connections has expanded, the competition between the two families has become increasingly fierce.

In contrast, the Xiao Clan's situation has deteriorated considerably.

Now the Ma Clan intends to push the Xiao Clan to their doom.

One of the reasons Xiao Ye came to participate in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land's assessment was to change the Xiao Clan's situation.

If Xiao Ye could be accepted as a disciple by an elder of a certain status and placed under the control of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, the Ma Clan would not be able to make any significant moves.

After hearing all this, for some reason, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but think of a word:

Classic.

This situation does seem somewhat familiar.

He was no less remarkable than that young man who lived on both sides of the river for sixty years.

"Master."

After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he asked:

Why did you suddenly bring this up?

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"Since this is related to your Lineage, as your master, I certainly cannot stand idly by."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master, but I wish to handle this matter myself, and also consider it a test for me."

After Xiao Ye finished speaking, the system's voice sounded in Lu Changzhi's ear:

"Actually, he has a mission: to resolve his Lineage's predicament."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi understood, then nodded and smiled:

"If that's the case, then so be it."

As they spoke, the flying boat drew near.

There were five people on the flying boat.

One strong and four weak, with Ma Biao at the head.

I took a look through the system and saw that he was at the Creation Realm Fourth Layer.

Currently, he is merely External Avatar and cannot unleash his full power.

But it's still enough to deal with someone at the Creation Realm.

"People from the Ma Clan."

Xiao Ye also noticed the other person, and his expression became serious.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi looked over and laughed:

"Perfect timing, let me take this opportunity to teach you some concepts."

"Idea?"

Xiao Ye was taken aback.

At the same time, Ma Biao's voice came:

"You airship in front, stop right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, Ma Biao drew a long sword and pressed down on him with his aura.

At the same time, Lu Changzhi's flying boat suddenly slowed down and came to a stop.

"Those two little ones were really frightened."

A cold smile appeared on Ma Biao's face.

"Go, kill..."

Just as he gave the order, a light suddenly shone from Lu Changzhi's flying boat.

Swish, swish, swish.

In an instant, the array formations expanded at an extremely rapid pace.

From the outside, the two flying boats simply vanished into thin air, leaving no trace and no sign of their presence.

"These formations..."

Ma Biao's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Lu Changzhi.

He had a vague, uneasy feeling.

"If you can win, remember to conceal your movements before making a move."

Lu Changzhi's voice rang out.

At the same time, he swung his arm.

Swish, swish, swish.

Several beams of light shot out.

They are all talismans, and each one is at least at the Spirit Rank.

The talismans flew out and instantly transformed into various powerful attack methods, bombarding Ma Biao and his companions from all directions.

"Damn it, is it really necessary!"

Ma Biao's expression changed drastically, and he became furious.

Has this kid gone mad? He attacked without warning.

So many high-level talismans!

At that moment, he regretted it.

However, he only regretted it halfway.

Because the remaining half didn't survive.

Xiao Ye stared in disbelief at the magnificent scene that Ma Biao and the others had risked their lives for.

After the commotion subsided, even the flying boat was blasted into wood chips, which piled up on the formation below.

Lu Changzhi waved his hand, and a jade bottle flew out, unleashing an extremely strong suction force that absorbed all the wood chips and other residue.

After everything was over and the formation was dispelled, Lu Changzhi looked at Xiao Ye.

"What insights have you gained?"

Xiao Ye looked thoughtful, paused for a moment, and said:

"Make the most thorough preparations, and take the most ruthless and decisive action."

"Good."

Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up.

Xiao Ye is a talent that the sect needs.

The Xiao Clan.

Judging from the Xiao Clan's overall strength, it wasn't as powerful as Lu Changzhi had imagined.

Lu Changzhi did not go back with them.

After all, this is the territory of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, so it's best to leave as few traces as possible.

Even though he was just observing from the shadows, Lu Changzhi still noticed that the Xiao Clan family members did not look too good. They seemed to be facing a formidable enemy and danger.

After paying close attention, Lu Changzhi quickly grasped the general idea.

It turns out to be the Ma Clan, who have gotten close to an elder of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. The elder is currently in the Ma Clan's residence, and it is said that he will take action against the Xiao Clan in a couple of days.

The two sides were already somewhat unequal in strength, and the presence of an elder from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land further complicated matters.

The Xiao Clan's situation is far from optimistic.

Some of the other forces that originally supported the Xiao Clan are now trying to distance themselves from the family for various reasons.

"An elder of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land?"

Lu Changzhi spoke softly, then, as if remembering something, transmitted his voice:

I'll be leaving for a moment.

Then, Lu Changzhi got up and left.

The Ma Clan.

Inside the main hall, a lively scene unfolded.

Ma Yunteng, the head of the Ma Clan, sat at the banquet and introduced an elder to the Ma Clan members.

"Everyone knows about Senior Cheng's reputation in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. He is acquainted with some of the most famous experts in the Holy Land."

"It is an unparalleled honor for our Ma Clan that Senior Cheng has come to our Ma Clan and accepted my daughter Ma Li as his disciple. It is truly a glory to our ancestors."

Beside Ma Yunteng, Cheng Qian narrowed his eyes, twitched his goatee, and smiled. He was clearly very pleased with what Ma Yunteng had just said.

After everyone had showered him with compliments, he cleared his throat and slowly said:

"Actually, it's nothing. I just have a lot of friends."

The voice paused, then continued...

Have any of you heard of that sword Sword Immortal?

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around looked at each other in bewilderment.

Those with wider access to the information exclaimed in shock and disbelief:

"Could it be that you, senior, even know that Sword Immortal?"

"Wrong."

Cheng Qian raised his index finger and shook it gently, his old face full of arrogance:

"I am quite familiar with that Sword Immortal, and we have a good relationship. If I encounter any trouble, I can even ask him for help."

"Because of this relationship, even though I'm just an elder, if anything big happens in the Holy Land, hmph~"
