Chapter 1095 Convergence
Lu Xiaolu asked, "Senior sister, do you think they've encountered any danger?"

"It's alright for now," Qi Qingmei said.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Then we don't need to rush. Let's take our time searching. Look how tired Junior Brother Chu is."

Chu Zhiyuan's face was pale at this moment.

It wasn't just because of sensing the Emperor's Sword, but also because of cultivation and activating the flying knives.

To sense the Emperor's Sword, one needs to practice the Heavenly Sword Secret Manual.

However, practicing the mental cultivation method consumes a great deal of mental energy.

This is both the reason why others' cultivation is slow and the reason why his cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.

Qi Qingmei shook her head: "Then let's rest for a while."

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and gave a wry smile: "Senior Sister Qi, what exactly is this?"

He was very curious about the location of the elders and experts of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Is it a grotto-heaven?
If it's a grotto-heaven, under normal circumstances, the existence of the Heavenly Sword cannot be sensed.

Spatial isolation can completely block out the breath, making it impossible to perceive.

But that might not be the case for Tianjian.

After all, the Emperor's Sword can connect two different worlds.

If it's not a hidden paradise, then it's an array?
Do array formations exist in this world?
Or are there other treasures?
Lu Xiaolu was able to completely conceal their presence from being detected.

Qi Qingmei said, "It might be some kind of formation. A powerful demon activated the formation to trap them, and they may be resisting the power of the formation."

"A great demon?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "So the elders are actually still in danger?"

"It's hard to say," Qi Qingmei said. "But the fact that the Heavenly Sword wasn't activated means it's not the final moment yet."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, uncorked it, poured out a Spirit Blood Pill, and popped it into his mouth.

The cool fragrance once again permeated my lungs and rushed out of my pores, making my body feel light.

My spirits lifted.

He closed his eyes and remained motionless, ceasing the circulation of his true energy, merely recovering his spirit.

Qi Qingmei also closed her eyes, placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, and began to gather her energy.

Lu Xiaolu and her companions moved quietly to avoid disturbing the two of them.

Time passed quickly.

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, his gaze intense.

He looked at Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei remained motionless with her bright eyes closed, only her right hand, which gripped the sword hilt, faintly glowing.

Chu Zhiyuan activated his extrasensory perception and used his vision again to try and figure out where they were.

Let's see if our extrasensory perception can break through the formation.

More importantly, we need to find the powerful demon that activated the formation.

Intuition didn't warn him, so there shouldn't be any powerful demons here.

Where is that great demon?

Or perhaps the formation here doesn't require the great demon to constantly activate it?
Numerous complex thoughts flashed through his mind, finally settling on the formation.

He vaguely realized that this was indeed a formation, and that the great demons were not here.

Qi Qingmei's robe slowly billowed up, and her feet gradually left the ground.

It was as if an invisible force was lifting her up.

After his feet left the ground by three feet, he stopped rising and his aura grew stronger and stronger.

With a flick of the white silk in Lu Xiaolu's hand, Chu Zhiyuan floated two zhang away.

He turned to look at Lu Xiaolu.

Lu Xiaolu transmitted her voice secretly: "Senior Sister's attack is no joke."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Thank you, Senior Sister."

His biggest weakness right now is that his cultivation level is not high enough; he hasn't become a Venerable, and the purity of his protective true essence is insufficient.

Therefore, they are too fragile in the eyes of these venerable ones.

The difference between the Nine Revolutions of Qi Transformation and the Venerable One seems to be only one level, but they are worlds apart.

Lu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at him: "What are you being so polite about?"

Just then, Qi Qingmei suddenly opened her bright eyes, which shot out like two bolts of cold lightning.

The cold electricity pierced the air and fell towards the mountain peak as if it were a tangible substance.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and suddenly pointed to the side.

This has already changed the original direction.

Qi Qingmei drew her sword, and a bright moon rose.

The surrounding area was instantly bathed in silver light.

Under the clear, cool light, the entire mountain peak seemed to have transformed into a silver mountain.

"laugh!"

Amidst a soft whistling sound.

The surroundings suddenly shook, and everything seemed like a reflection in the water, becoming unreal.

The extrasensory perception was constantly shining through the hole.

At that moment, he saw four invisible forces colliding in the air. These four forces were like four giant dragons, soaring, colliding, and fighting in the air.

Chu Zhiyuan's spirits lifted.

This Bright Moon Divine Sword strike was indeed profound; it was not merely brute force, but rather powerful and exquisite.

I have extrasensory perception and can see this situation.

Could it be that Qi Qingmei also possesses similar methods and secret techniques?
Everything before my eyes was still shaking and vibrating, becoming even more unreal.

Qi Qingmei shouted, "Attack together!"

The remaining eleven women drew their swords, and eleven sword lights condensed in the air, then transformed into one sword, stabbing towards the left side of the mountain peak.

"laugh!"

The surroundings were shaking more and more violently.

Through my super-sensory perception, I saw four powerful forces moving even more violently through the air.

The combined power of the women's sword strike was quite formidable, essentially adding fuel to the fire.

Upon seeing this, Chu Zhiyuan unleashed four flying knives from his sleeves, transforming them into four streaks of light that shot towards the four forces respectively.

The throwing knife was imbued with the aura of the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree.

When they were in the air, they were just white light, but when they came into contact with those four auras, they immediately turned golden.

Those four auras acted as fuel, causing the golden light to surge suddenly.

At the same time, the four auras became disordered, no longer as swift as before.

Everything in front of me shook even more violently, as if the world were collapsing.

"Boom!"

A crisp sound came from the void, much less loud than the previous shriek.

The scene before me suddenly changed.

The original mountain peaks have turned into valleys, with jagged rocks on both sides, and not a single blade of grass or tree in sight.

In the center of the valley, a group of men and women sat cross-legged; they were the experts from Tianjian Peak.

Sitting at the very front was a handsome middle-aged man with a calm and composed demeanor.

He had an ancient longsword lying across his lap, the patterns on the scabbard subtly twisting.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately sensed a familiarity; it was the aura of the Heavenly Sword.

This ancient longsword is the Heavenly Sword.

Clearly, this is Zhou Chongming, an elder of Tianjian Peak.

The other men and women were not very young; most were middle-aged.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed inwardly.

Look at these experts in the Moon Palace, each of them is a seventh or eighth level Venerable, yet each of them is young and beautiful.

Looking at Tianjian Peak, it's clear they're from a different generation.

Clearly, the techniques of the Guanghan Palace are stronger, and the disciples cultivate at a faster pace.

Qi Qingmei glanced around, her body tense, and turned to ask, "Junior brother, how is it?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I didn't find those great demons."

Qi Qingmei said, "We still can't be careless."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Perhaps my cultivation is too weak, and the great demon can avoid my senses."

Qi Qingmei said slowly, "They should be nearby, Little Deer."

Lu Xiaolu said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will protect Junior Brother Chu."

The remaining eleven women stood sideways, surrounding Chu Zhiyuan like flower petals surrounding a flower stamen.

Having traveled this far, I've become so familiar with this situation that it's become second nature.

At this moment, Zhou Chongming, who was in the middle of the valley, slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over like lightning, and cupped his fists in greeting from afar: "Junior Nephew Qi."

Qi Qingmei asked, "Is Uncle Zhou alright?"

Zhou Chongming smiled and said, "They were all injured, but nothing serious."

Qi Qingmei asked, "What about those powerful demons?"

Zhou Chongming said, "We've both suffered heavy losses; they should find a place to recuperate."

Qi Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "We were ordered to come and provide support. Fortunately, we are not too late."

Zhou Chongming smiled.

Qi Qingmei turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly.

Their eyes met, and they understood each other immediately: the group of people in front of them were not imposters.

Along the way, Chu Zhiyuan easily distinguished several groups of imposters posing as disciples of the Four Sects.

Qi Qingmei and the others still did not move, nor did they go into the valley; they simply stood there talking.

The experts from Tianjian Peak surrounding Zhou Chongming opened their eyes and stood up one by one.

Just as they were about to leave the valley, a sudden and unexpected event occurred.

"Boom!" A deafening roar shook the earth, and the ground bulged.

A giant yellow snake emerged from the ground and lunged towards Qi Qingmei and the others.

Four throwing knives that had been hovering in the air shot towards the giant snake.
