Chapter 1110 Important Responsibility
At this moment, at the highest point of Tianjian Peak, Lu Wanshan stood with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Chongming and twelve others stood beside him.

They stared at the distant mountain peaks, their eyes flashing with a cold, intense light.

Zhou Chongming said, "Senior brother, are you sure you don't want to send someone to follow us secretly?"

Lu Wanshan smiled.

Zhou Chongming said, "The news has probably already leaked out. He will definitely encounter ambushes and attacks along the way, and there may even be powerful demons making a move."

Lu Wanshan nodded.

Demons are not fools; some are even more cunning than humans.

Meng Xusheng said, "With the Jade Heaven Sword, even the great demons dare not make a move, and those below the great demon level cannot withstand the Demon Subduing Blade."

"But there are too many demons," Zhou Chongming said. "They will constantly wear him down until he is overwhelmed and can no longer use the Demon-Subduing Blade."

Meng Xusheng laughed and said, "He has some elixirs with him, and we're not far from the Guanghan Palace. He can hold them off."

Zhou Chongming sighed, "I'm still not at ease. I should send someone to accompany them. Perhaps I should come myself."

“Junior Brother Zhou, you mustn’t,” Meng Xusheng said with a smile, “otherwise he’ll have to save you.”

Zhou Chongming snorted: "Last time he had Miss Lu from Guanghan Palace with him, and his lightness skill was amazing. This time he's all by himself."

Meng Xusheng chuckled: "Junior Brother Zhou, you didn't see his current lightness skill, did you?"

"What, is his lightness skill really that good?"

"He is not only a prodigy in cultivating the Heavenly Sword Scripture, but also a prodigy in cultivating lightness skills." Meng Xusheng exclaimed, "He is much faster than us, comparable to Miss Lu."

"So powerful?" Zhou Chongming asked in surprise, then turned to look at Lu Wanshan.

Lu Wanshan nodded: "He doesn't have that kind of lightness skill, so we can't let him deliver the message."

"Our Heavenly Sword Sect's luck has arrived!"

Zhou Chongming remarked with emotion.

Who could have predicted that such a prodigy would ascend from the outermost heaven?

He is a genius unlike any other.

Without Chu Zhiyuan's presence, the Heavenly Sword Sect would have been humiliated and utterly defeated during this trip to the Azure Lotus Sea, and might even have suffered heavy losses of its experts.

Chu Zhiyuan's contributions are so great that his achievements cannot be fully reflected in his merits.

It was only because Chu Zhiyuan had just joined the Heavenly Sword Sect that it was not appropriate to bestow a huge reward, so it was suppressed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given the Jade Heaven Sword.

There are many small heavenly swords, but only one jade heavenly sword.

Of course, having the Jade Heaven Sword is even better than having the elders secretly protect you.

In addition, his amazing lightness skill ensured that he would not perish midway.

Lu Wanshan said, "Let's not say too much now, after all, there's a long road ahead and too many variables."

"Understood." Zhou Chongming nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan's cultivation level is not high enough yet, and he is too prone to accidents, so it is not advisable to spread this news and incur jealousy.

Meng Xusheng asked in confusion, "Then why did Senior Brother let him go down the mountain?"

The best course of action now is to keep Chu Zhiyuan hidden away, protect him, and let him cultivate properly, avoiding both open and covert attacks.

Lu Wanshan said, "His cultivation method is unique; the more demons he kills, the faster he cultivates."

"Because of this?"

"Because of the Demon-Subduing Blade?"

"...The Demon-Subduing Blade, Black Dragon Blood... so there won't be any consequences for him consuming the Black Dragon Blood?"

Zhou Chongming seemed to be deep in thought, but became more and more excited as he spoke: "Slaying demons is the best way for him to cultivate?"

"Yes." Lu Wanshan nodded: "The Demon-Subduing Blade is infinitely profound."

“That Demon-Subduing Blade…” Meng Xusheng hesitated, his eyes burning.

Compared to the cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Sword Scripture, the power of the Demon-Subduing Blade is even more astonishing.

If the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect could cultivate, how astonishing that would be!
Perhaps then we can wipe out all the demons in the world!

Lu Wanshan shook his head: "The Demon-Subduing Blade is a unique artifact to cultivate. Its true power does not come from the cultivation method, but from that artifact. However, he has already used up that artifact, so it is difficult to master it again."

“It can’t be him…” Meng Xusheng hesitated.

Lu Wanshan smiled and said, "If he didn't want to spread the word, he would have said so directly instead of being so tactful. After all, he doesn't need to spread it, just like this cultivation secret method, which he doesn't need to spread either."

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect often have extraordinary encounters. Once they obtain extraordinary skills, these skills become their unique advantage, and they would never ask to hand them over to the sect.

Such a miraculous skill as the Demon-Subduing Blade naturally doesn't need to be passed on to the sect.

However, given Chu Zhiyuan's vision, he might very well want to pass it on to the disciples within the sect, thereby enhancing the strength of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The stronger the Heavenly Sword Sect becomes, the more he, as a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, benefits, and the more upright he stands.

"I was greedy," Meng Xusheng said with an embarrassed smile. "The Demon-Subduing Blade is indeed too powerful." Zhou Chongming said, "He is exceptionally talented. Putting aside everything else, can you divide your mind into ten paths?"

Meng Xusheng shook his head.

Zhou Chongming said, "Even if we had the Demon-Subduing Blade Technique, we still wouldn't be able to master it."

"It's a pity my cultivation level isn't high enough," Meng Xusheng sighed. "Will this siege of the Azure Lotus Sea really succeed?"

Lu Wanshan said, "The Guiyang Sword Sect and the Fuyun Sect should be fine, the most difficult one is the Guanghan Palace."

Zhou Chongming agreed: "The Guiyang Sword Sect and the Fuyun Sect wish they could destroy the Qinglian Sea today, but the Guanghan Palace is indifferent to them and can't be bothered to pay attention."

Meng Xusheng said, "Since they've sent an expert this time, there must be hope, right?"

Zhou Chongming shook his head: "That's because the sect leader personally asked for it, so we had no choice but to agree. It's different from this siege of Qinglian Sea."

In a life-or-death crisis, it's hard to refuse a team of experts sent to rescue you.

After all, no one could predict whether the Moon Palace would encounter such a situation.

The idea of ​​gathering experts from the four major sects to simultaneously besiege the Azure Lotus Sea might not be something the Guanghan Palace would agree to.

Because the people of Guanghan Palace have always disliked acting together and have always preferred to work alone.

Zhou Chongming said, "Senior brother, although Junior Nephew Chu has a good relationship with Guanghan Palace, this matter is of great importance. If he goes, it might not be effective, right?"

"It's a last resort," Lu Wanshan said helplessly. "We can only give it a try."

"It's difficult," Meng Xusheng shook his head.

This idea seems far-fetched.

The Moon Palace doesn't change its mind easily, especially not a man; it's even harder to get them to change their minds.

……

Chu Zhiyuan floated along, his feet moving as if riding the wind.

He used the Wind Riding and Cloud Soaring Technique, but it was a fusion of the Earth Origin Technique.

It appears that he has mastered the Wind Riding and Cloud Soaring Technique to an extremely high level, thus concealing the existence of the Earth Origin Technique.

He was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, he had already run more than thirty miles.

As he passed over a grove of trees, ten ethereal figures flew out from his sleeve.

Ten throwing knives suddenly disappeared into the woods below.

These throwing knives, some as swift as lightning, others as ethereal as smoke, all eventually transformed into billowing golden flames.

Twenty-six demons were lurking in the shadows.

As they watched Chu Zhiyuan approach, they were about to make their move when the flying knife struck them first.

"what!"

"what--!"

A bloodcurdling scream shattered the tranquility of the woods.

One by one, the demons were annihilated, and clusters of golden light appeared in the Demon-Subduing Palace.

Chu Zhiyuan's lips curled up slightly, unable to contain himself.

Two groups of demons have already appeared along this stretch of road.

What a dense array of demons!
Will this trip to the Moon Palace allow me to accumulate enough merit to unlock my ancestral aperture and master the Heavenly Origin Technique?

Once the Heavenly Origin Technique is mastered, the speed of cultivating the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture will increase several times over.

Given the current number of demons, there is indeed a great chance.

Leopard demon, rat demon, tiger demon...

Various demons and monsters perished under the flying knives and were annihilated in the golden flames.

They rushed at him frantically, as if they had a blood feud with him.

Chu Zhiyuan found it strange.

Having already killed so many demons, he had gained a vague understanding of them.

Demons prioritize survival above all else, disregarding human virtues, face, and courage.

If they find themselves outmatched, unless there is a powerful demon suppressing them, or they are naturally bloodthirsty and prone to fighting when their blood boils, they will simply flee for their lives.

Could it be that another powerful demon is lurking nearby?

Thinking of this, he placed his hand on the Jade Heaven Sword.

An astonishing aura gradually spread, and the desperate demons retreated in fright, turning to flee for their lives.

But the throwing knives didn't let them go, and once again, bursts of golden flames rose up.

His figure continued to move forward, without even slowing down, slowly disappearing into the distance.

The twenty-six demons in the woods below had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
