Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Inside the main hall, Xia Jin and Shen Jinghan looked at each other, but both had a vague sense of foreboding.

Sitting above, Xiao Xuan looked at the two of them with blank expressions and sighed helplessly.

These two good-for-nothings don't seem like dullards at all, so how come they have no sense of right and wrong?

For the sake of my happiness, I have no choice but to make you two suffer.

Xiao Xuan turned to look at Liu San Niang, his face still calm and composed. "Don't worry, San Niang. The two of them are ready. There won't be any problems."

Xia Jin: "???"

Shen Jinghan: "???"

Both of them stared intently at Xiao Xuan, their eyes filled with shock.

Master, when were we prepared? How come we didn't know?

Liu San Niang nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Xia Jin and Shen Jinghan once more, a slight smile playing on her lips. She turned her head and nodded gently to Leng Wushuang.

Leng Wushuang stood up, walked to Xia Jin and Shen Jinghan, stood with her hands behind her back, but her eyes were still as cold as ever.

Even though Xiao Xuan has now awakened Liu San Niang, Leng Wushuang's hatred for Xiao Xuan has not dissipated much, and even Xia Jin, Xiao Xuan's two disciples, has been tainted with hostility.

"Xiao Xuan said that you two are among the best in your realm, both in terms of strength and talent. Even when facing inner demons, you can easily overcome them, is that right?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Shen Jinghan suddenly frowned and even secretly glanced at Xia Jin beside him.

What does this mean? How come it's even causing a mental demon?

However, it was clear that Leng Wushuang was not asking a question.

Because she didn't give Xia Jin and the other person any chance to explain, but instead continued, "According to the agreement between this sect master and your master, this time you two will enter the important place of our Glazed Sword Sect - the Sword Tower. You only need to bring back a few disciples whose minds have been bewitched by inner demons for our Glazed Sword Sect."

Xia Jin: "What the hell?"

Shen Jinghan's expression was uncertain: "This woman actually wants me and my junior brother to enter that sword tower? I've heard that the sword tower of the Glazed Sword Sect is a treasure land that sword cultivators dream of forging their sword hearts, and only three exceptionally talented Glazed Sword Sect disciples are qualified to enter every five years."

"I've heard of some exceptionally talented disciples who went in, but never came out. Could it be that they were tormented by inner demons inside and remained there forever?"

However, Leng Wushuang had no interest in explaining anything to Xia Jin and the other person.

"Go ahead. Good luck to you both. If you two happen to get stuck inside, then blame your master!" She sneered, then glared fiercely at the somewhat guilty Xiao Xuan, and flicked her sleeve.

A powerful surge of energy swept Xia Jin and Shen Jinghan up.

"Master!! You wouldn't really sell me and Junior Brother Xia together, would you?!" Shen Jinghan exclaimed in surprise.

Unfortunately, he only saw Xiao Xuan give him an apologetic look before he and Xia Jin flew straight out of the main hall and headed towards the back mountain of the Glazed Sword Sect.

Inside the main hall, Liu San Niang glanced at Xiao Xuan beside her with a strange expression, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Brother Xuan! It seems your two disciples harbor quite a bit of resentment towards you!!"

Xiao Xuan's handsome and otherworldly face remained calm, but his eyes twitched uncontrollably twice.

"It's alright! These two little brats are lucky to have entered the Sword Tower. If they can temper their minds through this experience, it will be a great help to them when they reach the level of a great power in the future!"

Liu San Niang turned her head to look at him, her lips slightly upturned, a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

......

the other side.

Xia Jin and Shen Jinghan were directly transported to a valley by the fluctuation.

In the very center of this valley stood a massive, astonishingly large black sword.

The sword was dozens of feet tall, completely black, and wrapped with countless thick iron chains.

The giant sword stood there silently, yet it exuded a chilling sense of oppression.

"This is the Sword Tower, the most important place of the Glazed Sword Sect!!" Shen Jinghan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

But soon, their bodies transformed into two streaks of light, flying straight toward the giant sword.

A flash of light appeared on the sword tower, and the two figures vanished instantly.

......

The world spun around.

After an unknown amount of time, when Xia Jin opened her eyes again, she was completely stunned.

The world before me stretched out before me in a vast expanse.

At first glance, this place is no different from any other ordinary mountain forest.

"It looks no different from the outside world!! No... something's not right!!" Xia Jin glanced around, but her expression suddenly changed.

Every tree and every blade of grass here exudes an indescribable, sharp aura.

The feeling was like countless invisible swords hidden in every corner of this world.

"Senior Brother Shen, do you think this place... is a bit strange?" Xia Jin turned to look at Shen Jinghan beside her and asked in a low voice.

"I never imagined that the legendary Sword Tower would contain such a world."

Shen Jinghan didn't say anything more, but instead his gaze fell on a small blade of grass at his feet, his eyes thoughtful.

He suddenly squatted down, stretched out his finger, and gently touched the leaf of the small grass.

"hiss!!"

With a soft sound, a sword light, almost invisible to the naked eye, suddenly burst forth from the leaf, flashing past Shen Jinghan's fingertip.

Shen Jinghan abruptly pulled his hand back and looked down to see that his sleeve had been cleanly ripped open, revealing his forearm underneath.

"Sword intent? As expected, sword intent might be hidden in anything here!!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression began to turn serious.

"Junior Brother Xia." Shen Jinghan swallowed, his voice a little dry. "I suddenly feel that the fact that Sect Master Leng asked us to come in and 'take people back' is probably not such a pleasant task."

Xia Jin's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Senior Brother Shen, you didn't just find out now, did you...?"
