If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 143 Valley Master, can't you even touch my hand?

When Zuo Yijian trembled, Zuo Lin also noticed the unusual movement of his sword. The vast sword intent caused the scabbard to tremble violently, and under Zuo Lin's shocked gaze, the scabbard and the sword floated up.

Zuo Yijian stood up and looked at his sword, convinced that he had not misjudged the situation.

This is the sword intent of the Sword Master of the Dao!

On the Heaven-Mending Platform, more and more people felt the sword intent of the Sword Master Fudao, including Ye Lan.

She turned her head and looked in the distance towards Zuo Yijian, her expression one of surprise.

boom--

Suddenly, the thunderclouds parted, and the outer city instantly brightened. A gale descended from the sky, causing the buildings in the city to tremble. The outer disciples and servants with lower cultivation levels were forced to the ground. Everyone struggled to look up and saw a huge hole appear in the thunderclouds above the outer city, with a diameter of tens of miles.

Unable to reunite with the thunderclouds, under the sunlight, Crimson Venerable and Old Ancestor withered Pine fought fiercely, locked in a stalemate. The two were a hundred feet apart, constantly casting spells. The collision of their spells generated strong winds and intense light, and the terrifying pressure caused the outer city's protective light barrier to distort violently, threatening to shatter at any moment.

“Father…this is…” Zuo Lin looked at Zuo Yijian in disbelief, his voice trembling.

Could it be that my father is the mysterious Sword Master Fudao?
Everyone else had the same thought, because this sword intent was just too strong.

Chi Qianzun, who was engaged in fierce combat high in the sky, also felt the sword intent. He glanced over and locked onto Zuo Yijian, his brows furrowing.

Could this person be the Sword Master of the Dao?

at this time.

Zuo Yijian suddenly knelt down, looked at his constantly trembling sword, and cried out, "Please, Sword Master, save my sect!"

The words fell.

A loud sound!
The sound of a sword being drawn tore through all the noise in the world!
Chi Qianzun leaped away, landing above the thunderclouds and distancing himself from Kusong Laozu. He looked down at the Mending Heaven Platform, where eighteen golden short swords gathered into a long sword before him. He grinned maniacally and shouted, "Sword Venerable Fudao, come out quickly! Let me see how powerful you are!"

The sound resounded throughout the entire Tai Xuan Sect!
He was not only provoking the Sword Master of the Path, but also sending a message to the Vice Sect Leader, urging him to come over quickly.

He is at the fifth level of the Profound Heart Realm. Even if he can't defeat the Sword Venerable Fudao, it would be no problem for him to hold him back for a while.

However, all that answered him was the sound of something cutting through the air!

As soon as Chi Qianzun finished speaking, the sword in front of Zuo Yijian suddenly attacked Chi Qianzun. The terrifying sword intent erupted in an instant, directly sending everyone around flying.

Everyone in the city saw a cold light burst forth from the city, shooting straight into the sky with unstoppable force!
As Zuo Lin flew backward, he saw the cold light break through the sea of ​​thunderclouds on the horizon, as if a sword had cleaved the sky in two, shocking his eyes.

Chi Qianzun was also startled by the sudden appearance of the sword.

So fast!

Unable to dodge in time, he instinctively raised his broadsword, but his speed in raising the sword was far slower than the speed at which the sword came hurtling towards him.

Boom!
The broadsword in his hand shattered, and as the sword tip reached him, the terrifying sword energy of the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword suddenly erupted, crushing his flesh.

With a single sword stroke, the figure of Chi Qianzun had vanished!

Wherever the sword passed, the sea of ​​clouds was torn apart, leaving a magnificent trail of sword energy in the sky.

Even a great cultivator at the Profound Heart Realm couldn't escape with his primordial spirit, let alone unleash his Profound Heart Divine Power!
The gap is too huge!

Chi Qianzun was completely powerless to resist!
The old ancestor of the withered pine tree, suspended high in the air, had his robes fluttering and his white hair dancing wildly. He stared in the direction where the sword energy had gone, and this supreme elder was dumbfounded and could hardly keep his composure.

Having fought against Chi Qianzun, he knew how terrifying this demonic cultivator was, making him feel that his depths were unfathomable.

Such a powerful being was actually killed instantly by the Sword Master Fudao with a single sword strike?

From beginning to end, the Sword Master Fudao did not show up!

call out!
The sound of something cutting through the air came again, and the sword flew in from the horizon, drawing a perfect arc in the sky before finally crashing into the Heaven-Mending Platform.

Clang!
The blade pierced the table, sparks flew, the sword shook violently, and afterimages were created.

Lying on the ground, Zuo Yijian stared at his precious sword, his mouth agape.

The whole city was silent!

Gu An, far away in the Third Medicine Valley, smiled as a notification that his lifespan had been taken away appeared before his eyes, proving that Chi Qianzun was indeed dead.

Gu An turned his head to look at the sect's main city, where the battle was still ongoing, but he showed no intention of intervening.

We've already made two moves today; if we make another, it's a third time!
The Tai Xuan Sect also needs to overcome its own tribulations!
Soon, deafening cheers erupted from the outer city gates, loud enough for even the menial disciples of the Third Medicine Valley to hear. They couldn't make out what was being shouted, so they were all very nervous.

Gu An stayed by Lu Lingjun's side, afraid that the other disciples would interrupt her enlightenment.

……

In the outer city, more and more people rushed onto the Heaven-Mending Platform. The Old Ancestor of Dry Pine descended from the sky and landed in the center of the crowd, right in front of Zuo Yijian.

At this moment, Zuo Yijian gripped his sword tightly, reluctant to sheath it or hand it over to someone else.

"Young man, may I take a look at this sword?" Patriarch Kusong smiled and asked gently.

Zuo Yijian looked at him as if he were a thief, and did not agree.

"Wait, the sword intent beneath our feet has intensified!"

An old man suddenly exclaimed, causing everyone to look down. They saw a sword intent flowing within the sword marks that read "Righteous Path".

Just now, as the sword fell, Gu An's sword intent also entered those two words, amplifying the sword intent within and thus increasing the deterrent power of the Sword Venerable Fudao.

The withered pine patriarch turned around, his gaze falling on the two words "righteous path," feeling the sword intent flowing within them, and slowly closed his eyes.

Zuo Yijian turned around and stepped back. He transmitted his voice to Zuo Lin and said, "Lin'er, retrieve my copy of Investiture of the Gods." (From afar.)

Ye Lan stood at the edge of the Heaven-Mending Platform. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall around her were excitedly discussing the power of the Sword Master Fudao. She, however, was thinking of Gu An.

With such a powerful backer, Senior Brother should be very safe, right?
……

The sun sets and the moon rises; after the moon sets, a new day begins.

A full day and night passed before the battle in the sect's main city finally came to a complete end.

At dawn, after morning exercises, Gu An and Xiao Chuan stood guard on either side of Lu Lingjun.

Xiao Chuan leaned against the wooden railing, five steps away from Lu Lingjun, and asked curiously, "Senior brother, what exactly is she doing?"

Lu Lingjun's unusual behavior had been noticed by all the disciples, and Gu An forbade anyone to disturb her, which is why she was able to have a peaceful night.

Gu An guessed, "It might be some kind of extraordinary skill. She is a great cultivator, and her realm is beyond our comprehension."

"What kind of cultivation technique allows one to remain motionless for an entire night?" Xiao Chuan asked curiously.

"It's not a technique, it's just that I've come to understand it."

Lu Lingjun suddenly spoke, and Xiao Chuan was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps back.

Lu Lingjun didn't look at him, but glanced at Gu An. Gu An then stepped back and winked at Xiao Chuan, who immediately slipped away.

Gu An asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's fine, thank you for staying by my side all this time," Lu Lingjun replied calmly.

Gu An feigned a relieved expression and then said, "You should go and rest first; you must be tired after standing all day."

"I suddenly remembered, when you came back yesterday, didn't you hold my hand?" Lu Lingjun stepped forward and asked.

At the time, she was so engrossed in her recollection of enlightenment that she didn't shake off Gu An's hand, which she found absurd in retrospect.

Gu An coughed lightly and said, "I was terrified at the time, please don't blame me."

"No man has ever held my hand before," Lu Lingjun said quietly, staring at Gu An.

Ha ha!

You think I believe that?

We've lived for two thousand years, and you're giving me a ghost story?

Gu An's face hardened, and he said seriously, "What? The Valley Master can't even touch your hand?"

He saved Lu Lingjun from a hundred years of detours, so what's a little hand-holding?
Lu Lingjun's lips curled up, her charming smile tinged with a deeper meaning, and she said, "Alright, then from now on you're mine."

After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for Gu An's reply.

Gu An was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after her and said, "Miss Lu, I was just joking. Please don't take it to heart. In a while, I'll talk to the sect leader and ask him to transfer you out."

"late."

Lu Lingjun pushed Gu An away and continued forward.

Gu An realized he was in trouble; he had been taken advantage of!
"By the way, I'm planning to undergo my tribulation above Medicine Valley, what do you think?" Lu Lingjun's voice came, and she stopped and turned her back to Gu An.

Gu An frowned and asked, "There are many things to prepare for when you undergo tribulation. Why don't we wait for the sect leader to return and have him take you to the tribulation area?"

“I can’t wait any longer. You have such strong connections in the Tai Xuan Sect. If anyone comes, please speak up for me. Don’t worry, I won’t affect the herbs in the Medicine Valley.”

After saying that, she leaped up and flew to a height of a thousand feet. A blue lotus flew out from her sleeve and quickly grew larger. She then stepped into the blue lotus and sat down cross-legged.

This scene drew gasps from the handyman disciples, while Xiao Chuan approached Gu An and asked Lu Lingjun what she was going to do.

Gu An looked up at Lu Lingjun and replied, "She is undergoing a tribulation."

Under his gaze, Lu Lingjun waved her hands incessantly, and one magical artifact after another flew out, quickly surrounding her and forming array after array.

He suddenly became interested and wanted to see just how terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation of the Profound Heart Realm was.

"Tribulation?" Xiao Chuan was stunned, his gaze involuntarily turning to Lu Lingjun in the sky.

……

Wanji Forest, within the Six Paths Mahayana Array.

Where the seven were seated, a ball of black flame suddenly appeared out of thin air between them, startling them so much that they opened their eyes and stood up to pay their respects.

"Meet the leader!"

The seven spoke in unison, drawing the attention of the worshippers who were setting out offerings.

The offerings were all living people, who were covered with talismans and unable to move. The place where they stood was surrounded by an array, which made their faces full of terror, and some of them even fainted from fright.

"Where is the vice leader?"

The voice of Jing Tuxian, the leader of the Ephemeral Flower Sect, came from within the black flames, his tone revealing a hint of weariness.

An old man wearing a mask replied, "He has not yet returned, but the Tai Xuan Sect's attack plan has failed. Seventy percent of our spies in the Tai Xuan Sect have been lost. According to the news that came back, Chi Qian Zun was killed by Fu Dao Jian Zun with a single sword strike, but the vice sect leader has not appeared and we do not know where he went."

His tone became heavy when the matter was brought up.
