I forged swords at Lingjian Mountain.

Xiong Yue lay on his back on the ground, his arms below the elbows completely shattered, with bits of flesh and bone mixed with numerous dark gold fragments scattered all over the ground.

He stared at Chen Xiu, who was holding the Qingfeng Sword, with disbelief on his face.

"...How is it you!?"

He had assumed that the person who unleashed such a terrifying sword strike must be an elder of the Qingjian Sect.

I never expected it to be Chen Xiu!

This shocked him immensely.

Although he knew that Chen Xiu was the most promising and most valued disciple in the Qingjian Sect.

However, in terms of cultivation, Chen Xiu was only at the sixth level of the Acquired Realm, which was inferior to him.

But now...

The opponent actually shattered his gauntlets and arm with a single sword strike!

Moreover, it was a sword strike released from a great distance in a moment of desperation.

This was not Chen Xiu's strongest attack.

This made Xiong Yue even more confused.

Chen Xiu's expression was cold, but the anger in his eyes had not subsided.

He looked down at Xiong Yue on the ground, his voice icy.

"Lingjian Sect is the exclusive sword-forging sect of our Qingjian Sect. Anyone who dares to harm Lingjian Sect is making an enemy of our Qingjian Sect!"

His voice was unusually loud.

This wasn't just a message for Xiong Yue, but also a warning to everyone present.

"This time, I'm cutting off both your arms as punishment. If you dare to do it again..."

"I will kill you!!"

……

far away.

Lü Yao narrowed her eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, the Qingjian Sect came to the rescue of the Linjian Sect!

And they made it clear to everyone that Lin Jianmen would be their exclusive sword-making sect.

This means...

The Linjian Sect is now able to forge the Qingfeng Sword to the satisfaction of the Qingjian Sect!

Many people know that Lin Jianmen had previously helped Qingjian Sect forge the Qingfeng Sword through Wang Xinyun's introduction; it's no secret.

But nobody had any faith in Lin Jianmen.

I don't think the Linjian Sect has the ability to forge the Qingfeng Sword.

After all, everyone knows how difficult it is to forge the Qingfeng Sword.

But I never expected...

Lin Jianmen actually succeeded!

"This is getting more and more interesting."

Lü Yao smiled.

Although I didn't expect that Lin Jianmen would survive this turmoil.

However, this is a situation she is happy to see.

Her stance is relatively neutral.

They will not help Lin Jianmen when he is in trouble, but they will not kick him when he is down either.

As long as the Linjian Sect can continue to exist, their cooperation can naturally continue.

There's no need to find someone else to modify the Frostweapons.

……

Compared to Lü Yao's good mood.

Wei Xun, standing some distance away, looked rather grim.

He never expected that even this wouldn't be enough to wipe out the Lin Jian Sect!

"Damn it!!"

Wei Xun felt a tightness and discomfort in his chest.

He is very clear.

The strength displayed by Linjianmen this time, as well as becoming the exclusive sword-forging sect of Qingjian Sect, all indicate that this once unremarkable and weak sect in Huanfeng City has now completely established itself.

If we want to destroy the Linjian Sect again in the future...

There is basically no hope.

He was even thinking...

Should I take the initiative to seek out Lin Jianmen and resolve the feud?

It wasn't that he was afraid.

It is a sect that I cannot destroy, yet possesses extremely strong sword-forging abilities. If I remain an enemy, it will not bring me any benefit.

On the contrary, it may become more and more troublesome.

Previously, he treated the Linjian Sect as an ordinary sword-making sect. Even though the sect was somewhat special, he didn't take it seriously.

Now that we have witnessed the extraordinary nature of this sect...

He's not stupid.

They wouldn't still be thinking of continuing to fight Lin Jianmen to the death.

In Wei Xun's view.

For enemies that cannot be defeated, it is best to turn them into friends.

After all, in his view, the feud between him and Lin Jianmen was not so irreconcilable.

……

Inside the Linjian Sect.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Chen."

Nie Shuang expressed her gratitude to Chen Xiu.

"Brother Nie, you are too kind. Your sect is already the exclusive sword-forging sect of our Qingjian Sect. We cannot sit idly by and watch these forces dare to invade."

"I originally planned to send some disciples here to stay long-term and ensure that nothing like this happens again."

"However, judging from what you said earlier, it seems that things are not very convenient here. So I brought you birds that can transmit messages quickly. These birds are extremely fast and can deliver messages in the shortest amount of time."

"If anyone dares to invade again, or if anything else happens, they can send us a message through these birds at any time, and we will definitely come immediately."

Chen Xiu spoke sincerely.

Nie Shuang and the other two, along with Steward Wang standing to the side, could all sense his high regard for Lin Jianmen.

This is completely different from the perfunctory attitude of the last Deacon Liu.

Moreover, Wang Tiancong had already told them that.

Before he brought Chen Xiu here, the other party had already severely punished that Deacon Liu and stripped him of his deacon status.

This person almost caused the Qingjian Sect and the Linjian Sect to miss out on an opportunity, which is a serious crime for the Qingjian Sect!

The reason they didn't expel him from the sect is because they saw his many contributions over the years.

"Oh, right."

"I wonder if I would have the honor of meeting Sect Master Lin?"

Chen Xiu adopted a very humble attitude.

Given his status and position.

When he went to other sects, even the sect leaders of those sects would treat him with utmost respect.

But here at Lin Jianmen...

He placed himself on the same level as Nie Shuang and others.

They showed absolutely no arrogance or haughtiness typical of disciples from major sects.

They held this mysterious Lin Jian Sect Master in awe.

"The sect leader is already forging the sword; it may have to wait until next time."

Nie Shuang shook her head.

"clear."

Chen Xiu nodded in understanding.

Although he felt some regret, he had no complaints.

After all, in his heart...

This Lin Jian Sect Master is unfathomable; he has long regarded the other party as someone of equal status to their Qing Jian Sect Master!

You know, meeting someone like that isn't something you can just do whenever you want.

immediately.

He then began discussing future collaborations with Nie Shuang.

The main purpose was to discuss the price of every Qingfeng Sword that Linjian Sect would forge in the future.

Chen Xiu stated.

They will purchase the Qingfeng Swords forged by the Linjian Sect at ten times the normal price, and will also provide the Linjian Sect with the materials for forging the Qingfeng Swords.

This price is higher than Nie Shuang initially expected.

Given the high price offered by the Qingjian Sect, they should have plenty of funds for the foreseeable future.

The two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

Chen Xiu was completely unpretentious here, and it was clear that he really wanted to befriend Nie Shuang and the other two.

In this regard.

He even specially took out a martial arts technique and gave it to Nie Shuang and the other two.

"This book, 'Crimson Blood Meridian Opening Technique,' is a decent internal energy cultivation method that I acquired some time ago. I see that the three of you don't seem to have a suitable internal energy cultivation method yet, so why don't you try practicing this 'Crimson Blood Meridian Opening Technique'?"

"Although this internal energy cultivation technique is only a high-grade Yellow-level technique, it has enormous potential. It can be cultivated all the way up to the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, and there is even a chance to cultivate the [Crimson Blood Force]."
