Chapter 1114 Forward
Lu Xiaolu looked at him curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Senior Sister, I want to travel with you. The Palace Master has agreed."

Lu Xiaolu said, "How did you convince the Palace Master? That shouldn't be the case."

She felt that Xiao Mingyue wouldn't agree, since this was different from the last time.

Last time, Chu Zhiyuan was needed to lead the way, so I was able to bring him along.

After all, he was a man, and the disciples of Guanghan Palace have never been close to men.

This would tarnish their reputation.

This time is different from the last time; Chu Zhiyuan will not be needed to guide them.

Although the Demon-Subduing Blade is powerful, the twenty-odd experts there are all top-tier masters, capable of handling the demons of the Azure Lotus Sea, and do not need the Demon-Subduing Blade's help.

Therefore, bringing Chu Zhiyuan along would have even greater drawbacks.

She believed that Xiao Mingyue couldn't misunderstand this principle, yet she still agreed.

This made her extremely curious.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I simply expressed my earnest hope to eliminate demons and monsters, which moved the Palace Master."

Lu Xiaolu didn't believe it: "Hey, the Palace Master isn't so easily moved!"

If she were so easily moved, she wouldn't be the Palace Master; the Palace Master has a very hard heart.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I hope you will take good care of me, Senior Sister."

"You're the one who took care of me, aren't you?" Lu Xiaolu chuckled. "Let's go."

She and Chu Zhiyuan came to Qi Qingmei's side.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a salute.

Qi Qingmei had already received the message and looked him over: "Junior Brother Chu, are you really going to join us?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Senior Sister Qi, please give your orders, and I will obey."

Qi Qingmei took back what she was about to say and nodded in satisfaction: "That's good... How's your lightness skill?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I've almost finished practicing."

“Little Deer.” Qi Qingmei looked at Lu Xiaolu.

Lu Xiaolu chuckled and said, "How about we have a competition?"

The female disciples, who had been curiously observing Chu Zhiyuan, clapped their hands and excitedly agreed: "Yes, let's have a competition!"

"Little Deer, don't lose and embarrass us."

Lu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at the person who said those words: "Senior Sister Sun, don't worry!"

She turned to Chu Zhiyuan and asked, "Junior brother, how about we have a competition?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Please give me your guidance, Senior Sister."

He turned to Qi Qingmei and asked, "Senior Sister Qi, if I win, could I go ahead and scout ahead as a vanguard?"

"Okay," Qi Qingmei readily agreed.

The other female disciples all laughed.

A group of twenty-odd beautiful women gathered together, their faces like blooming flowers, delicate and beautiful, radiant with beauty.

They huddled together, giggling sweetly, like twenty or so flowers blooming in front of you at the same time, creating a striking visual impact.

They found Chu Zhiyuan's words hilarious; he even dared to claim he could surpass Lu Xiaolu's lightness skill.

Lu Xiaolu has a special talent for lightness skills. Although her cultivation level is only average, her lightness skills are the strongest.

The fastest speed, the most unpredictable movement.

Chu Zhiyuan's cultivation was mediocre before, and his lightness skill was even worse. How could he possibly defeat Lu Xiaolu in just a few days?
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Senior Sister Qi, you decide how to compete."

Qi Qingmei took out a token from her sleeve and waved it at Chu Zhiyuan: "After I throw this token out, there will be dozens of rings. You all set off to chase after it at the same time. Whoever catches it wins. I obtained this token from an ancient site. It has some mysterious properties."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly and looked at Lu Xiaolu.

He immediately noticed the unusual nature of the token; its material was peculiar.

The material resembles iron, yet it exudes a warm and jade-like luster.

Lu Xiaolu giggled and said, "Senior Sister Qi, then hurry up!"

Qi Qingmei tossed it gently.

The palm-sized token transformed into a beam of white light, shooting towards the distance and upwards, flying diagonally upwards, and disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu stopped in their tracks.

Qi Qingmei then stretched out her jade-like hand, spread her five fingers, and lowered them one by one.

After the five fingers fell, the slender fingers rose one by one.

As the last jade finger rose, she softly called out, "Go!"

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu flew out almost simultaneously, turning into two wisps of smoke. Lu Xiaolu moved slowly like a white cloud, seemingly slow, but actually incredibly fast.

Chu Zhiyuan, on the other hand, moved as if riding the wind, his feet never touching the ground, his speed was unparalleled.

For a moment, the two were neck and neck, with no one in front or behind.

The women around had excellent eyesight. They focused their energy behind their eyes and followed the token as it flew diagonally into the sky. However, the token eventually merged with the mist and clouds, becoming almost invisible.

They blinked hard, but still couldn't find the token.

A woman chuckled: "Senior Sister Qi, you're deliberately making things difficult for them. They probably won't be able to find it."

If it were them, they wouldn't be able to find the token, so how could they possibly snatch it back?

Qi Qingmei shook her head: "They don't even have this ability? You're underestimating the two of them."

"Hehe, that's quite an impressive skill."

"If it can really be found, it would be truly extraordinary."

"This Junior Brother Chu seems quite composed, but I didn't expect him to be so sharp."

"The Demon-Subduing Blade, you've never seen one like it! ... Without such imposing aura, one cannot wield such swordsmanship."

A woman gently shook her head; she was one of the thirteen masters who had personally witnessed the Demon-Subduing Blade.

"Is it really that powerful?"

"This Junior Brother Chu is a rare genius in the world. His cultivation progress is too fast. He has already reached the third stage so quickly."

"This is all thanks to Senior Sister Qi."

Qi Qingmei smiled and said, "You're here!"

The women looked closely and saw Chu Zhiyuan floating towards them, holding a token.

He stood on the void, as if there were invisible ground for him to step on and gain strength, flying faster and faster.

Lu Xiaolu blushed and followed two steps behind him, trying desperately to catch up, but she couldn't catch up no matter what she did.

Chu Zhiyuan arrived before Qi Qingmei with a gust of wind, presented the token, and after Qi Qingmei nodded, he put the token into his sleeve, turned around and smiled at Lu Xiaolu who was rushing over: "Senior Sister Lu, you flatter me."

"Hmph, you win!" Lu Xiaolu said resentfully, "How did you learn so fast?!"

She was most proud of her lightness skill, and always believed that no one could match her lightness skill.

But Chu Zhiyuan managed to surpass him, albeit by only a small margin.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be willing to accept it, but Chu Zhiyuan did it, so she felt no resentment, only curiosity.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "It might be a good fit for the Wind-Riding and Cloud-Soaring Technique. You'll master it quickly and get faster and faster with practice."

This was naturally achieved with the help of the Earth Origin Technique; otherwise, relying solely on the Wind Riding and Cloud Soaring Technique, it would have been impossible to outrun Lu Xiaolu.

Lu Xiaolu's lightness skill was indeed superb; her body was as light as a drifting catkin, and even more so as to be drifted by a strong wind.

"The Soaring Clouds and Riding the Wind Technique... This lightness skill can't be that powerful, can it?" Lu Xiaolu asked curiously.

She was extremely interested in light-body skills, so she studied the light-body skills of the four major sects.

The fastest lightness skill in the Heavenly Sword Sect is not the Wind Riding and Cloud Soaring Technique.

Chu Zhiyuan's ability to train to such a speed can only be described as exceptionally talented.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at Qi Qingmei: "Senior Sister Qi, then I'll lead the way?"

"Let's go," Qi Qingmei said. "Little Deer, are you coming with Junior Brother Chu?"

“That’s natural,” Lu Xiaolu said.

Chu Zhiyuan extended his hand and smiled, "Senior Sister Lu, please."

"Let's go, to the Azure Lotus Sea!" Lu Xiaolu snorted.

She transformed into a white cloud and drifted away.

Chu Zhiyuan walked alongside her, using his light-footed skills to talk as they went.

Lu Xiaolu was curious about how he trained so fast.

Upon hearing that he had used black dragon blood, he immediately shook his head dismissively, saying that he was foolish.

However, seeing that Chu Zhiyuan did not seem uncomfortable, he did not say anything more.

She felt that Chu Zhiyuan was steady and wouldn't act rashly, so he must have a way to eliminate the future troubles of the Black Dragon Blood.

It's very likely related to the effects of the Demon-Subduing Blade.

The two walked for more than fifty miles before they discovered the demon's whereabouts.

Before Lu Xiaolu could react, ten throwing knives were already in action, eliminating the demons.

Chu Zhiyuan's eyes were burning with excitement.

He felt that this time he had a great chance to kill enough demons and gain enough merit to open his ancestral aperture.
