Chapter 1113 Agree
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Palace Master, there are countless powerful demons inside the Azure Lotus Sea. They are usually afraid of death and don't want to fight, but once they are cornered, they will never give up and wait to die."

Xiao Mingyue said, "They can escape; they can still escape if they want to."

This will prevent them from being cornered.

Moreover, the Bright Moon Divine Sword is more than enough to restrain them.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Releasing those great demons would probably be of no benefit to the world, wouldn't it?"

Xiao Mingyue chuckled lightly: "You want to wipe them out?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If our four sects join forces to suppress them, these great demons will have nowhere to escape."

Xiao Mingyue shook her head and said, "Even if the four sects join forces, we cannot destroy these great demons. If the great demons want to escape, who can stop them?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Even if the four sects unite, they can't destroy these great demons?"

“You’ve never fought a powerful demon in person, so you don’t know how formidable they are,” Xiao Mingyue said. “Their greatest skill is concealing their aura, becoming one with heaven and earth, making them undetectable.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Did our four sects fail to capture their treasures?"

"Your Heavenly Sword Sect's Heavenly Sword, our Moonlit Divine Sword of the Guanghan Palace, the Crimson Sun Divine Sword of the Guiyang Sword Sect, and the Flowing Cloud Divine Sword of the Fuyun Sect can all suppress and kill great demons."

"Is the Palace Master going to use the Bright Moon Divine Sword this time?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

"Junior Sister Qi and the others have the Bright Moon Divine Sword, which is more than enough for them."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "But the Bright Moon Divine Sword can't be used too many times, can it?"

To unleash the true power of the Bright Moon Divine Sword, one would only have the ability to strike once or twice.

And these powerful demons are not just one or two.

Xiao Mingyue chuckled and said, "There isn't just one Bright Moon Divine Sword... Don't worry, there won't be any problems this time."

Chu Zhiyuan looked helpless.

How could I possibly persuade someone like Xiao Mingyue?
It now appears that the Guanghan Palace has made up its mind and will never join forces with the Tianjian Sect and the other two sects to annihilate the Qinglian Sea; it intends to act ahead of schedule.

He quickly analyzed it in his mind.

Is the Moon Palace unwilling to unite with the other three sects because of its arrogance and long-standing principles, or because of its interests?
What huge benefits could they possibly gain from annihilating the Green Lotus Sea that would make them want to get there first?
Should we also let the Heavenly Sword Sect try to wipe them out?
He never thought too highly of people's hearts. The Heavenly Sword Sect and the Guanghan Palace were not only fighting for the sake of the people, but also had their own interests to gain.

Without enormous profits, would someone risk their life to slay demons and monsters?
This goes against human nature and is destined not to last. The reason why the four sects have been able to maintain their positions for so long is certainly not because of their reputation or virtue, but because they are driven by self-interest.

Benefits bestowed by the imperial court?
Or is it reputation and merit that can enhance the power of the sect's sacred artifact? Like the Heavenly Sword, like the Bright Moon Divine Sword.

He then said, “Palace Master, as far as we know, there are many demons in the Azure Lotus Sea. Sending only twenty or so is not enough. Last time we sent even more Venerables, but we still suffered a crushing defeat. Palace Master, please reconsider.”

Xiao Mingyue said, "That's enough. If it doesn't work, we can retreat. They can't stop us."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "In that case, may I join them and act alongside my senior sisters?"

“You—?” Xiao Mingyue looked him up and down.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "I am now a third-level Venerable, much stronger than before."

Xiao Mingyue's eyes swept over his face, and she said softly, "You're quite enthusiastic about demons."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly: "I possess the Demon-Subduing Blade, so naturally it is my duty to eliminate all demons in the world, and I will never allow them to harm innocent people!"

Xiao Mingyue's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Does the Demon-Subduing Blade require such a state of mind?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Without such determination, the Demon-Subduing Blade would be difficult to forge."

“No wonder…” Xiao Mingyue suddenly realized, and sighed, “The power of your Demon-Subduing Blade is miraculous. Could you show me how it works?”

Suddenly, several beams of clear light flew out from Chu Zhiyuan's sleeve and shot towards Xiao Mingyue.

Ten beams of clear light shot towards different parts of her body, forming a barrier in the air that blocked off an area.

Xiao Mingyue stared curiously at the flying knives, and when they flew in front of her, she gently waved her sleeve.

An invisible force surged forth, expanding from her graceful body.

The ten throwing knives froze in mid-air, as if they had been embedded in the stone.

Chu Zhiyuan's eyes flashed. Suddenly, the ten throwing knives glowed with golden light.

The next moment, they moved forward again, entering a one-foot radius around Xiao Mingyue.

It stopped abruptly within a foot and remained motionless once more.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

The ten throwing knives turned in mid-air and disappeared back into his sleeve, like ten swallows returning to their nest.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I admire you."

Xiao Mingyue's cultivation is indeed profound; it's unknown whether she has reached the Spirit Venerable realm.

But it should be no less powerful than the Nine Revolutions Venerable, and with the addition of the Bright Moon Divine Sword, it would be even more formidable.

Does mastering the Bright Moon Divine Sword or the Heavenly Sword grant one the chance to reach the Spirit Venerable realm?

Or rather, only after becoming a Spirit Lord can one wield the Heavenly Sword or the Bright Moon Divine Sword?
His thoughts raced, and he quickly concluded that one must obtain the Heavenly Sword or the Bright Moon Divine Sword before one could reach the Spirit Venerable level.

He understood that this was just his conjecture, and the most fundamental point was that Xiao Mingyue and Lu Wanshan might not necessarily become Spirit Venerables.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Heavenly Sword must be kept in hand, and the position of the Heavenly Sword Sect leader must be contested.

Then one must establish sufficient merits, cultivate sufficient skills, and gain sufficient prestige.

Therefore, no matter what, we must strive to join the Moon Palace's operation this time.

Xiao Mingyue looked at Chu Zhiyuan with admiration: "No wonder Junior Sister Qi and Xiao Lu speak so highly of your Demon-Subduing Blade."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The power of the Demon-Subduing Blade lies in its ability to subdue demons. The blade technique itself is not powerful enough. It is best used against demons, but not against humans."

Xiao Mingyue chuckled: "You're being too modest!"

Ten throwing knives were launched at the same time, making it almost impossible to dodge them.

Unless one's cultivation level is similar to one's own, allowing for overwhelming superiority, or one possesses protective protective clothing.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to avoid his flying knife.

Is this swordsmanship just average?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will go with you. If I can be of any help, it will be my small contribution. ... Last time, if it weren't for the help of Senior Sister Qi and Senior Sister Lu, Elder Zhou and the others would have had a hard time getting away unscathed."

"..." Xiao Mingyue pondered.

She was weighing the pros and cons.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I may not be able to deal with great demons, but I can easily handle demons at the Venerable Realm or below. This will save you senior sisters a lot of trouble and time."

Xiao Mingyue blinked her bright eyes and nodded gently: "That's not wrong."

She immediately grasped the key point in Chu Zhiyuan's words: time.

To complete the purge before the Heavenly Sword Sect, Guiyang Sword Sect, and Fuyun Sect join forces, it is indeed necessary to buy time and get ahead of the curve.

Otherwise, the most frustrating thing would be if the three allied forces arrived halfway through their campaign and were making a difficult advance.

Thinking of this, she slowly said, "In that case, you should travel with Junior Sister Qi and the others."

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a salute: "Thank you, Palace Master!"

Xiao Mingyue waved her hand and said, "I should be thanking you."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It was the Palace Master who gave me the opportunity to earn merit points so that I could return to the sect and exchange them for better treasures and elixirs."

Xiao Mingyue said, "I'm not worried because you're cautious, but this trip will be more dangerous than the last one, so you should be prepared."

Chu Zhiyuan immediately understood the meaning behind her words and smiled, "I will follow Senior Sister Qi's instructions and will not act recklessly."

"Very good, then go ahead." Xiao Mingyue nodded in satisfaction.

She found talking to Chu Zhiyuan exceptionally smooth and comfortable.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a salute, turned and left the main hall, smiling at Lu Xiaolu who was standing outside.
