I Heard You Know Me Well?

"I never imagined Senior Cheng had such a background; he's truly remarkable."

"This time, our Ma Clan has truly been blessed by our ancestor! Ma Li is truly remarkable; she has actually caught the eye of our elders with her talent. Her future is limitless!"

"With Senior Cheng's connection, we're almost certain to win over the Xiao Clan, and other nearby forces will also have to put our Ma Clan first."

"That's Sword Immortal, a legendary expert who appears only once every ten thousand years. I wish I could meet him someday."

Even those who didn't know the situation, after being told by others, understood just how complicated this matter was.

As for Cheng Qian, he watched the reactions of the crowd with satisfaction.

These small, outside forces are still as easily fooled as ever.

With just a few words of charlatanry and boasting, one can make them practically worship one's virtues.

Even if you trick them, they'll still help you.

This feeling is truly wonderful.

Amidst a chorus of boasting and flattery.

The atmosphere reached its climax.

Cheng Qian felt exhilarated, drinking the rather precious spiritual wine, and for a moment he felt somewhat lightheaded.

The rest of the Ma Clan members were even more excited.

After all, Cheng Qian had just given them his assurances.

He would also help deal with the Xiao Clan and the surrounding forces as a matter of course.

Fueled by the alcohol, a bright future was vividly painted on their minds.

"Alright, it's getting late. I should go back to cultivate."

At this moment, Cheng Qian stood up and walked into the house.

Ma Yunteng quickly gave a wink, and then the girl next to him hurriedly got up and followed, saying:

"Master, I'll see you off."

The old man and the young man returned to the house.

"My disciple."

Cheng Qian looked Ma Li up and down and said with a smile:

"Come sit down in front of me."

"Let me examine you thoroughly and also activate your meridians and acupoints so you can cultivate faster."

As if realizing something, Ma Li blushed slightly, but still bit her lip and sat down.

Cheng Qian placed his hands on the clothes, and although there was nothing between them, it felt as if there was nothing there.

Ma Li's face flushed red instantly.

Immediately, she tried to shift her attention and asked a question.

"Master, do you really know that legendary Sword Immortal senior?"

"What are you saying?"

Cheng Qian's mustache twitched, and he said angrily:

Are you doubting your master?

As he spoke, he applied more force with his hands.

Ma Li snorted and quickly replied:

"No, no, I'm just curious. I wonder if there's any chance I'll have to meet the Sword Immortal."

"Rest assured."

Cheng Qian spoke meaningfully:

"As long as you behave well, I'll give you a chance..."

Before the words were finished, something suddenly flew in through the window.

"Who the hell..."

Cheng Qian frowned, about to start cursing.

But when he saw what had flown in, he froze, his eyes widening as he stared intently at the object.

That was an elder's token from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

It differed from ordinary elder tokens, but it was not unfamiliar to him.

Guest Elder Token!

Those who can obtain this order are all extraordinary individuals.

Just as he was still pondering why a Guest Elder Token had flown in...

A voice reached his ears.

"I heard you and I are quite familiar?"

Boom!

In an instant, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Cheng Qian felt a buzzing in his head, and his body couldn't help but shudder.

This means the other party is that Sword Immortal?!

It's over!

That's an outrageous boast.

A cold sweat broke out on Cheng Qian's body instantly.

What was the Sword Immortal's strength and identity?

Even the Holy Lord treated him with great courtesy.

An elder like him isn't even qualified to carry someone's shoes.

Now that the other party is saying that, it's most likely that they overheard what I said before.

He dared not think about the consequences.

He was just an ordinary elder of the Holy Land; even if the other party killed him, the Holy Land probably wouldn't say anything.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Ma Li sensed something was wrong, asked a question, and was about to turn around.

At the same time, the voice rang in Cheng Qian's ears again:

"Come out."

As the voice faded, the token flew outwards.

Cheng Qian hurriedly got up and followed.

A short while later, following the token, they arrived in front of a flying boat.

Clap clap clap!

Upon meeting, Cheng Qian immediately started smoking to himself.

"This junior deserves to die. I shouldn't have spoken recklessly and disgraced your reputation, senior. Please spare my life."

As he spoke, Cheng Qian knelt down, his face filled with fear.

The person before him, though wearing a cloak, had a sword held upright in front of him that shattered his last shred of hope.

The real deal—it's that Sword Immortal!

In just a short while, blood trickled from the corner of Cheng Qian's mouth.

"Considering your lack of intention, I will spare your life."

Lu Changzhi spoke slowly.

Cheng Qian's body trembled, and he kowtowed repeatedly:

"Thank you so much for sparing my life, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"

But you have to do one thing.

"Senior, please just say what you need to say. As long as it's within my capabilities, I will never dare to refuse in the slightest," Cheng Qian said decisively.

Lu Changzhi nodded. "The Xiao Clan must not be harmed."

"The Xiao Clan?"

Cheng Qian was taken aback, racking his brains for a moment, and then tentatively asked:

"You mean the one near the Ma Clan, senior?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Cheng Qian's expression changed slightly.

He vaguely remembered it, relying on his memory.

It seems the Ma Clan specifically asked him to help destroy the Xiao Clan.

He shuddered again.

That's practically suicide!

"Senior."

Cheng Qian took a deep breath and glanced down:

"I'll have someone wipe out the Ma Clan right now."

"No need."

Lu Changzhi spoke:

"I'm testing the younger generation of the Xiao Clan. The Ma Clan is a source of pressure for the Xiao Clan; you should understand that."

"Don't let any third party know about this."

"If you do well, I will reward you. Do you understand?"

Cheng Qian nodded quickly:

"Understood, I understand."

When they looked up again, the flying boat and the figures had vanished.

After a long while, Cheng Qian finally let out a long breath, his face covered in sweat.

At this moment, although he was both shocked and frightened, he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of what the senior Sword Immortal had just said.

"I absolutely must seize this incredible opportunity!"

On the other side, Lu Changzhi observed for a few more moments before finally leaving.

Having an identity is indeed much more convenient.

On the flying boat, Lu Changzhi sighed inwardly:

"I wonder if any powerful patriarchs of the Five Symbols Sect have gone on a journey. I'd like to have a chance to show off."

I'll have to investigate this thoroughly when I get back.

After picking up Xiao Ye, they headed towards the Five Symbols Sect.

In the darkness of night.

The Holy Lord and Zhou Chang looked at the Elder Xuan had just walked out and hurriedly asked:

"Elder Xuan, how is it?"

Elder Xuan frowned, stretched out his arm, and the scene appeared before the two of them. Then he said:

"That jinx in the Eastern Region has completely disappeared."

"That star is no longer in its previous position. Judging from the constellations alone, it has indeed entered the sacred ground, but..."

"Just what?"

The Holy Lord spoke up and asked.

Elder Xuan pointed to one of the bright stars and said:

"I remember this star wasn't this bright."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord smiled and said:

"Perhaps it's because he entered the Holy Land and was influenced by it that Luo Zhen is still breaking through. Maybe that's what makes him unique."

Zhou Chang, standing to the side, nodded and added:

"That vanished calamity star might very well be within the Mystic One Sect in the Eastern Region."

"With the destruction of the Mystic One Sect, the jinx has also disappeared, which is actually a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan nodded slightly.

He agrees with this statement.

Disaster stars are rare, but once they appear, their influence will grow stronger over time.

Although it was in the Eastern Region before, given the location of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, leaving it unattended would eventually become a hidden danger.

From the current perspective, this change is indeed a good thing.

"Elder Zhou Chang," the Holy Lord said, looking at Zhou Chang.

"You deserve immense credit for finding such a star as Luo Zhen."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chang laughed and said:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Since I possess such abilities, it is only right that I contribute to the future of the Holy Land."

On Hidden Origin Peak.

After the flying boat left the sacred land, Lu Changzhi regained his composure.

With a thought, Lu Changzhi opened the system.

"System, use the Disciple Acceptance Gift Pack."
