After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 281 Will
At this moment, Bai Zihua, who was halfway to Shangguan Qingqing's courtyard, froze on the spot, staring ahead with an expression of utter shock in his eyes.

The descending martial will was like an insurmountable mountain, and the mere aura it exuded from afar was enough to suppress him, preventing him from moving even half a step forward!
"What...what exactly happened?"

Bai Zihua was horrified, feeling an overwhelming sense of fear welling up inside him.

At the same time, everyone in the entire Tianhe Blade Sect was also stunned into place, just like him. Their own consciousness was suppressed by that martial will, and they were completely unable to control their bodies.

……

In the small courtyard.

Shangguan Qingqing drew her sword and charged towards Linghu Yue's figure, but suddenly stopped at the courtyard gate.

She stared in astonishment at the cracked Tianjin Guard token and the wisp of energy that appeared in front of Linghu Yue, her bright eyes suddenly widening!
At the same time, facing the aura containing supreme martial arts essence within the Tianjin Guard token, Linghu Yue's mind went completely blank.

Unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure of the will within, his body suddenly went limp, and he collapsed to his knees.

At this moment, Linghu Yue was completely overwhelmed by that wisp of martial arts consciousness. He felt neither fear nor shock.

At that moment, he had no idea what was happening or why he had suddenly knelt down.

His consciousness was only focused on the moment he wanted to crush the Tianjin Guard token; otherwise, the whole world seemed to stand still, and everything remained frozen.

"Buzz!"

Only the Heavenly River Blade Shadow hovering above Linghu Yue's head suddenly trembled slightly, and strands of blade intent descended, enveloping Linghu Yue below.

For a moment, Linghu Yue shook his head and finally slowly came back to his senses.

He looked down at the cracked Tianjin Guard token in his hand and realized that he had been kneeling on the ground without even realizing it. He immediately frowned.

"How is this going?"

Linghu Yue suddenly looked up, glancing around in surprise and doubt.

He then noticed something unusual about the group of elders and hall masters around him, as well as Shangguan Qingqing at the courtyard gate.

However, Linghu Yue's gaze was ultimately drawn to the invisible aura that appeared above.

The next moment, even though Linghu Yue was protected by the majestic Heavenly River Blade Intent, he was still struck as if by lightning.

"That's... something from this token?"

Linghu Yue seemed to have finally remembered something, and an inexplicable, uncontrollable fear arose in his heart.

Once that fear took hold, it spread rapidly and uncontrollably, instantly engulfing him completely!
For a moment, Linghu Yue's body trembled uncontrollably, his gaze fixed blankly on the wisp of energy above, his face deathly pale.

"Whose martial arts aura is that? Why is it that even a trace of it terrifies me so much?"

The next instant, Linghu Yue suddenly let go, releasing the Tianjin Guard token from his hand as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.

Then, he wanted to retreat immediately and get away from the wisp of energy that had appeared above.

However, Linghu Yue discovered that while his men could make some movements, they were completely unable to move an inch.

When he tried to control the Heavenly River Blade Intent to leave, the magnificent blade shadow floating above his head shook violently and remained suspended in mid-air, unable to move an inch.

Only then did Linghu Yue finally realize that although the Heavenly River Blade Intent could protect him from the martial will of that wisp of energy, the Heavenly River Blade Intent itself was suppressed by the martial will and was already in dire need of protection, making it impossible for it to escape! "How is this possible!"

Linghu Yue was filled with both fear and disbelief, and then he shook his head vigorously:

"It's just a wisp of martial energy remaining in a token. No matter how powerful it is, how can it compare to the Heavenly River Blade Intent that the Heavenly River Blade Sect has accumulated over nearly a thousand years?"

Immediately, he suppressed his fear, looked up at the wisp of energy above, and clenched his fists tightly.

The next moment, Linghu Yue suddenly turned around and looked at Shangguan Qingqing at the entrance of the courtyard. His expression changed rapidly, and he suddenly said:
"You previously accused me of being afraid to attack the World Alliance, so now I'll show you who the coward really is."

After saying that, Linghu Yue suddenly turned around, then took a deep breath and began to control the Heavenly River Blade Intent, wanting to cut through the wisp of energy shrouding the Heavenly River Blade Sect.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the elders, hall masters, and the injured Tianhe Blade Sect Master all changed drastically. At this moment, Shangguan Qingqing hurriedly spoke up to stop them:
"Stop! That's a technique His Highness left in the token. His Highness's martial arts prowess is unfathomable; he is the number one in the world. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

At this moment, Shangguan Qingqing naturally realized that although Li Musheng had told her that as long as she took out the token of the Tianjin Guard, she might be able to resolve the crisis of the Tianhe Blade Sect.

But His Highness is undoubtedly a kind and benevolent prince who did not want to see her get into trouble, so he secretly left such a method in the Tianjin Guard token to protect her.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingqing was completely suppressed by the aura containing the true meaning of martial arts above her, and her body trembled with fear, unable to move.

But what she felt most deeply was an indescribable sense of gratitude!

In Shangguan Qingqing's eyes, she was just an ordinary woman from the martial arts world who, by chance, met Li Musheng, the future leader of the swordsmanship and the number one in the world.

This was already a stroke of good fortune for her, and now she is even more fortunate to be treated with such care by her idol!

At this moment, Shangguan Qingqing felt that she must have used up all her luck in eight lifetimes to meet a prince like Li Musheng.

She couldn't help but wonder how she could ever repay the other person's kindness.

Just as Shangguan Qingqing was lost in thought, Linghu Yue turned around and glanced at her.

He was already hesitating, and Shangguan Qingqing's words were undoubtedly another blow to his head!
He had naturally heard from the disciples of the sect that the token of the Tianjin Guard was given to Shangguan Qingqing by the eighth prince of Dali.

The story of the Eighth Prince was widely circulated throughout the martial arts world of Da Li, and Linghu Yue had naturally heard about it as well.

However, in his view, the other party was just a prince who had fallen into obscurity, and the real influence actually came from the Tianjin Guard.

However, at this moment, he learned from Shangguan Qingqing that the aura in front of him actually came from the Eighth Prince's descendant.

All of this is undoubtedly overturning Linghu Yue's understanding!
"I do not believe!"

At this moment, Linghu Yue gritted his teeth and said something to Shangguan Qingqing, but Shangguan Qingqing was lost in her own thoughts and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Seeing this, Linghu Yue, who had been ignored, felt a surge of violent anger rising within him.

Immediately, he turned around sharply and continued to control the Heavenly River Blade Intent to slash at that wisp of energy.

"stop!"

"Stop right now! Do you want the entire Heavenly River Blade Sect to be destroyed?"

The elders and hall masters spoke urgently, all trying to stop Linghu Yue.
