Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen didn't know how things had turned out this way. Everything was fine before, so how come his sect elders were all ambushed?

"They're planning a hundred-child sacrifice. Now that I know about this, I can't just sit idly by. But I didn't expect these little devils to play dirty tricks. Three experts at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm have come to hold me back. I don't know how long Junior Sister Guanlan and Junior Brother Chen can hold out."

Having received this information, Su Baichen no longer hesitated and immediately set off.

He said, "Master, please wait a moment, I will send you the message right away."

As he spoke, he rushed out of the government office and onto the main street.

However, he cautiously refrained from immediately releasing the communication jade talisman.

Xuan Ding Zhenren also had a communication jade talisman, but why did they use the more advanced spiritual communication copper finger instead of the jade talisman to send him a message?

There is only one possibility: that those demonic forces have a way to intercept this kind of communication.

To be on the safe side, Su Baichen dared not send messages in the city.

Only after arriving outside the city and finding no abnormalities in his spiritual sense did he release his communication jade pendant.

His communication jade pendant was too close, so it could only be used to communicate with his senior brother, Feng Linzi.

However, Feng Linzi could directly send a message to Xuan Yin Zhenren, thus the message was considered to have been successfully transmitted.

However, Su Baichen felt something was wrong. What if the other side had another ambush?

He quickly came up with a plan and immediately decided to use his connections for a "saturation rescue".

A mountain god temple outside the city.

There are occasional incense offerings here, and in front of the statues of gods in the temple, there are still fruits and offerings that have not yet rotted.

Su Baichen cleared his throat and then shouted loudly, "Senior Yu Xiangke!"

"What are you shouting for?"

Someone immediately responded from behind the mountain god temple.

Then Yu Xiangke came out, picking his ear with his little finger, and said with a displeased look, "I sensed you coming from far away. I knew it when you whispered it... Remember next time, don't shout randomly."

Su Baichen nodded in agreement.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Su Baichen composed himself and, without any embarrassment, immediately recounted how Xuan Ding Zhenren had been ambushed.

He originally thought that this Yu Xiangke was an old friend of Xuan Ding Zhenren, and would be happy to help Xuan Ding Zhenren if he heard that he was in danger.

But the traveler from Yu Township remained indifferent: "I'm willing to lend a hand, but what can you offer in return?"

Su Baichen was taken aback, but did not hesitate: "What does Senior want me to do?"

At times like these, it's best not to overthink things; just agree to something first and then talk about it later.

Yu Xiangke said admiringly, "That's refreshing! I like your straightforward nature."

"If you promise me one thing, not only will I help you this time, but I'll also form an alliance with Changchun Palace!"

Su Baichen was startled, but the situation was urgent and he could not hesitate, so he agreed: "Disciple agrees."

"Aren't you going to ask what's wrong?"

Su Baichen shook his head: "Let's ask later. In any case, the senior shouldn't ask anything beyond the disciple's ability."

Yu Xiangke chuckled, "That's hard to say. After all, I've spent over two hundred years trying and still haven't been able to do it... But I'm just letting you try. Whether you succeed or not, my promise is valid."

Su Baichen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then, senior, what are your requirements?"

But Yu Xiangke paused, then said, "I need your help to change the Liang Kingdom's court. Do you dare?"

Su Baichen was stunned; he never expected such a request.

Seeing him lost in thought, Yu Xiangke continued, "Like you, I feel that the Liang Kingdom is currently in utter chaos, but I want it to rise again, at least to become politically stable and powerful, and for the court to have a fresh start... Can you do it?"

Good heavens, they know Su Baichen isn't afraid of the prevailing moral tide, and they're trying to lead him down an extremely dangerous path.

Su Baichen was taken aback for a moment, then resolutely said, "Alright, I promise you, senior."

Instead, Yu Xiangke looked surprised: "This isn't something to be taken lightly. Shouldn't you think it over carefully before you answer?"

Su Baichen replied, "There's no time to hesitate. The longer I hesitate, the more danger my elders will face."

"No matter how difficult or dangerous this matter is, it's worth it to exchange my life for the safety of my three elders."

His answer moved the villagers of Yuxiang.

Because Su Baichen wasn't entirely confident about the situation; he had simply calculated the worst-case scenario and felt that even that was acceptable...

Yu Xiangke nodded: "Alright, in response to your decisiveness, lead the way."

Su Baichen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed out.

That place was certainly not in the city, but in the mountainous area near Linxian Prefecture.

The location was chosen very strategically; even if Changchun Palace received the news and came to their aid, they would probably arrive a step too late.

They had planned that the Changchun Palace cultivators would receive the distress call in time and come to their aid, and seemed confident that they could take care of all the Xuanding True Persons within the limited time.

"You're too slow, I'll take you."

With a flick of his sleeve, Yu Xiangke swept Su Baichen up with a burst of spiritual energy, and then transformed into a rainbow of light that traveled thousands of miles in an instant.

Fortunately, Su Baichen also invited a "close ally".

……

In the mountains northeast of Linxian Prefecture, within a rugged mountain pass, a sword light darted through the mountains, entangled with wisps of demonic black smoke.

There was another pulsation of the earth, as if earth dragons were rolling among the mountains, their rumbling sounds intertwining and confronting the occasional bursts of demonic energy.

However, on the other side of the mountain, three powerful demonic cultivators, surrounded by black smoke and exuding an incomparably domineering aura, were continuously attacking a giant cyan cauldron.

This giant cyan cauldron appears somewhat illusory, but it is clearly a manifestation of the magical powers of the Mysterious Cauldron Immortal!

At that moment, a rainbow flashed in the sky, and Yu Xiangke brought Su Baichen to this place.

Yu Xiangke's eyes flashed, and he laughed, "Not bad. I didn't expect Xuan Ding's defense to be so good. Those three kids won't be able to break through his divine power for a while."

"And your Five Elements Sect elder is quite surprising. His integrated offensive and defensive spell system would be very troublesome for me at the same level."

Su Baichen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elder Chen covered in golden light. Enveloped in rich earth elemental spiritual energy, every move he made could cause the earth to shake.

Although the demonic cultivators who were besieging him were numerous and seemed to be quite powerful, they couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

But then Yu Xiangke added, "However, your sword cultivator girl is not so good. Her battle record is good, but she also suffered too much damage... Oh, and she was also injured."

Su Baichen understood that this referred to Guanlan Sword Lady.

In his spiritual sense, Guanlan Sword Maiden had already forcefully killed two demonic cultivators!

She was clearly trying to break the deadlock.

But to her surprise, the demonic cultivators didn't care about the lives of their own people at all. Instead, she was injured due to the enormous energy expenditure and was now almost cornered...

"Sword cultivators, though sharp as they may be, are the most easily broken."

Yu Xiangke sighed, then shook hands with Guanlan Jian'ao from afar...

The next moment, a huge vortex of wind quickly formed around Guanlan Swordswoman and began to spin rapidly around her.

The fierce winds that rose up were incredibly terrifying; they could even destroy the surrounding mountains in an instant.

The demonic cultivators who were besieging Guanlan Sword Maiden also quickly dodged when they saw that the situation was not good.

Three people who were slower were still caught in the rapidly spinning gust of wind...

In that instant, the three were torn to pieces, suddenly turning into a cloud of red mist and dissipating.

Good guy!

Su Baichen's eyes were opened to a whole new world.

Is this what a true great cultivator is like?

The power he displayed in every gesture was an overwhelming force that ordinary cultivators could not resist...
