I forged swords at Lingjian Mountain.

late at night.

Inside the house located outside Linjian Gate.

call!

Fan Zhuo, a disciple of the Qingjian Sect who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes and stopped the operation of the "Qingfeng Technique".

He stared intently at the Qingfeng Sword, which lay flat on his lap.

I can't help but sigh again.

"That's incredible!!"

"The Qingfeng Sword forged by the Linjian Sect is simply too powerful!!"

"I've never cultivated so smoothly before!"

"Now I understand why the elders were so agitated earlier, and why they valued the Lin Jian Sect so much!"

"That's absolutely right!!"

The other two Qingjian Sect disciples in the same room were filled with envy.

But no way.

Although Linjian Sect can forge two Qingfeng Swords for them every day, there are many disciples in Qingjian Sect, and currently only those disciples who are more valued have the opportunity to be assigned a Qingfeng Sword.

Fan Zhuo was just assigned a [Qingfeng Sword] here.

This made them envious, but it also strengthened their resolve to protect the Linjian Sect.

We absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to Lin Jianmen.

As long as Lin Jianmen is safe and continues to forge swords every day, they will eventually be able to obtain such a top-tier [Qingfeng Sword].

It was late at night, and the air was getting colder.

However, as martial artists in the Acquired Realm, and all of them being at least at the sixth level of the Acquired Realm, they did not feel cold.

But suddenly—

"Um?"

The three people inside the house simultaneously felt a bone-chilling cold permeate the air.

The chill appeared without any warning.

Even more strangely, even with their cultivation levels, they felt a stinging sensation all over their bodies under the influence of this chill.

"What's going on!"

The three of them changed their expressions at the same time.

Immediately circulate your internal energy.

This barely alleviated the stinging sensation caused by the cold.

Their expressions were all solemn.

I knew this sudden chill was definitely not normal.

He immediately got up and rushed out of the house to investigate.

It wasn't just the three of them who were like this.

At this moment, all the Qingjian Sect disciples stationed here sensed something was amiss and immediately went on high alert.

They were assigned to guard Linjianmen here, and no one complained, nor did anyone have any intention of being perfunctory.

Anyone who has seen the Qingfeng Sword forged by the Linjian Sect will take the Linjian Sect's security very seriously!

Everyone looked around with serious expressions, searching for the source of the anomaly.

"Look...you all!"

A Qingjian Sect disciple suddenly pointed into the distance.

Everyone turned to look.

A figure could be seen rapidly approaching them from a distance.

The figure was extremely fast.

Her face was not clearly visible.

However, his body exuded a chillingly dense aura!

This was a chilling aura they had never seen before, almost eerie!

Wherever they went.

Large patches of ice formed on the ground, and the vegetation was covered with a layer of ice crystals.

As the person drew closer...

The terrifying cold intensified once again, causing many Qingjian Sect disciples to experience a stinging sensation on their skin, as if they were being scraped by a cold blade.

"What...what is this!?"

These Qingjian Sect disciples were all greatly shocked.

They had never seen anyone emanate such terrifying coldness!

Moreover, this coldness is not internal energy.

It was a strange and unfamiliar power that they had never seen before!

Although many people sensed danger from the figure running wildly.

But as the other side drew closer.

Without hesitation, they all drew their swords and stood in front of them.

"Stop!!"

The leading Qingjian Sect disciple shouted in a deep voice.

Their presence here doesn't mean they forbid everyone from approaching Lin Jianmen, nor do they check every passerby.

They did not stop or question those who wanted to join the Linjian Sect.

Let them come and go as they please.

But this kind of obviously strange character is bizarre.

They definitely need to intercept and check them!

However, this figure, shrouded in a chilling aura, paid no heed to the Qingjian Sect disciples' warnings. He continued to charge forward without slowing down.

The eyes of the Qingjian Sect disciples immediately turned cold.

They acted without hesitation!

Such dangerous individuals.

They certainly couldn't let the other side get close to Lin Jianmen so easily.

If this person harbors ill intentions, Lin Jianmen will be in danger.

Since the other party wouldn't listen to their advice, they had no choice but to start killing!

The importance of Linjian Sect to them now.

They would rather kill the innocent than let anyone who might threaten the Linjian Sect get close.

However, these Qingjian Sect disciples had only just drawn their swords—

suddenly.

The figure, whose entire body was shrouded in an eerie chill, suddenly surged in speed and the chill emanating from it!

Before the Qingjian Sect disciples blocking their way could even make a move, they and their swords were frozen solid by the cold air, turning into ice sculptures.

next second.

boom!!

The figure crashed straight into it.

These Qingjian Sect disciples, who had been turned into ice sculptures, were instantly torn to pieces, exploding like shattered ice.

The figure continued its momentum, charging straight forward without slowing down at all.

The other disciples who were further away and not directly affected, although not frozen in their entire bodies, had their hands and feet covered in a layer of ice.

They hurriedly used their internal energy to dispel the evil spirits, their hearts filled with utter horror.

"...Who is this person?!"

"What exactly is this chill emanating from him!?"

"Even Senior Brother Wei was instantly killed by him! This...this is terrifying!!"

These Qingjian Sect disciples were all terrified.

Even the older and more experienced among them had never encountered such a situation before, or even heard of it.

"Quickly!! Report this to the sect immediately."

"We must chase after them and stop them immediately!"

"If this person is after Lin Jian Sect, then we're in trouble!"

Fan Zhuo said quickly, looking anxious.

He was standing a little further away and used his Qingfeng Sword to block, so he was unharmed.

But at this moment, he was extremely anxious.

Knowing the terrifying chill this mysterious person exuded, if he were to harm the Lin Jian Sect... the consequences would be unimaginable!

The others were also greatly surprised.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, he quickly suppressed his fear and prepared to give chase.

Just then.

They suddenly noticed that there were more than ten people in the distance heading this way, and they ran at top speed.

This time, more than a dozen martial artists at the Acquired Realm arrived.

And these people...

They all know each other!

"They're from the Flying Heavy Faction!"

"Why are they here?"

Everyone frowned.

I have a vague feeling that something is amiss here!

Fan Zhuo led his team forward and stopped Fei Zhong's group.

"...Stop!"

"Our two factions had an agreement that your Feizhong faction is not allowed to approach Linjian Sect without permission."

Fan Zhuo said in a deep voice.

Previously, they had done this to avoid retaliation from the Feizhong Sect against the Linjian Sect.

An agreement has already been reached with Feizhongpai.

Without the permission of the Qingjian Sect and the Linjian Sect, the Feizhong Sect members cannot approach the Linjian Sect without authorization.

"We have no ill intentions towards Lin Jianmen."

The leader of the Flying Heavy Faction was a burly man whose face was filled with anxiety.

"We just want to take that person away!"

"We've caught him, let's get out of here!"

Fan Zhuo frowned slightly.

Judging from their expressions and demeanor, the Feizhong faction members did indeed seem to be chasing after the mysterious person from earlier.

Combined with the mysterious man's frantic running, it did indeed seem like he was fleeing.

Even so, it cannot be ruled out that Fei Zhongpai is putting on an act!

They deliberately created this chase scene.

They're trying to get close to Lin Jianmen!

In this regard.

Fan Zhuo shook his head directly.

"We'll bring that person to you ourselves; you just wait here."

"No!"

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect refused outright, his tone urgent.

"This person must be apprehended by us personally!!"

"Get out of the way!"

Fan Zhuo's expression darkened.

I'm increasingly convinced that there's something wrong with the Flying Heavy faction.

He said in a cold voice.

"Without the permission of the Qingjian Sect and the Linjian Sect, you are not to be allowed to set foot here!"

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect was already anxious and irritable.

Hearing this, he became even more impatient.

He no longer had time to explain.

"I'm saying this one last time!"

"Get out of the way!!"
