Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

Zhang Yun's gaze swept back and forth between the two white-robed girls twice, his Azure Dragon Thunder Halberd never being lowered from his hand.

The cultivators of the Six Realms are unpredictable and their hearts are hard to fathom.

The Xuan Tian Sha Sect was so relentless in pursuing Qian Chuan's death; who knows if the Xuan Tian Xian Sect had ulterior motives?

He would never let his guard down until he had thoroughly figured out the other party's background.

Zhang Yun's gaze swept over the swords at the two women's waists, the flying swords beneath their feet, and the faint spiritual light flowing around them without making a sound.

He quickly assessed the difference in strength between the two sides in his mind and did not rush forward...

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yun's wariness, the gentle young woman holding the jade ruyi chuckled and spoke first.

Her voice was as melodious as a silver bell, carrying a unique ethereal quality characteristic of cultivators, like a clear spring in the night, refreshing and soothing.

"I am Su Wanrou, an outer disciple of the Xuantian Immortal Sect."

As she spoke, she stepped aside, revealing the aloof young woman behind her:

"This is my senior sister, Ling Qingxue."

Ling Qingxue nodded slightly as a greeting.

She didn't speak, but stood quietly on the flying sword, her white clothes fluttering and her black hair flowing like a waterfall.

A night breeze swept by, and a few strands of black hair swayed gently against her fair and jade-like face, but they did not add any trace of worldliness to her appearance.

That stunningly beautiful face remained completely expressionless.

It was as if nothing in this world could stir any emotion in her heart.

Yet this seemingly delicate woman exudes a chilling aura.

That aura was like an abyss, unfathomable.

Like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, its sharpness is concealed when it is not drawn, but once it is drawn, it may stain thousands of miles with blood!

Zhang Yun only sensed it from a distance, but felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

This woman...is very strong!

They are more than one level stronger than the three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators from the Xuan Tian Sha Sect!

Zhang Yun had a premonition... she shouldn't be weaker than that young man from the Xuan Tian Sha Sect!

Su Wanrou was also observing Zhang Yun.

Her eyes shone brightly as she used her Qi-observation technique on Zhang Yun. In the next instant, she seemed to have discovered something interesting, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Her tone remained elegant and gentle as she chuckled, "Your Excellency need not be too nervous. Although we come from the Six Realms, we are not the so-called ancient demons as you understand them."

"It's certainly not some evil sect like the Xuan Tian Sha Sect."

"We entered this secret realm for the sect's trial, to conquer this secret realm and use it as a training ground for outer sect disciples."

"I never expected to encounter people from the Xuan Tian Sha Sect here..."

"And what I never expected was that this small world is actually connected to your ancient planet..."

"My fellow disciple and I have no ill intentions towards you; we're just trying to be friends."

Ling Qingxue, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. Her voice was as clear and cold as an icy spring, devoid of any warmth or human emotion:

"Let's not beat around the bush."

"My Xuantian Immortal Sect and Xuantian Fiend Sect originally belonged to the same lineage. A thousand years ago, our ancestor ascended to the Six Realms from this lower plane together."

"But after arriving in the Six Realms, the lineage of Dao split."

"Our Xuantian Immortal Sect is skilled in sword control techniques, follows the orthodox Xuanmen sect, worships the righteous immortal ancestors, and takes the ideal of slaying demons and monsters and revitalizing the righteous path as its mission."

"And the Xuantian Sha Sect..."

Ling Qingxue paused slightly, then said coldly, "They are skilled at wielding knives, inclined towards bloodthirst and slaughter, follow an evil path, and worship evil gods."

"The two factions have been sworn enemies since then, and they would fight to the death whenever they met."

"Since we've encountered members of the Xuan Tian Sha Sect here, we naturally have to eliminate them."

"If you don't believe me, you can see my sword intent."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Qingxue slightly flipped her wrist.

The floating sword beside her suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sword cry!

Om-!

The sword flashed like a bolt of lightning, its chilling aura palpable!

The mere sound of a sword caused the temperature within a hundred meters to drop several degrees!

Li Mobai and Xiao Lan's expressions changed slightly, and even the scriptures within their bodies seemed to tremble slightly from the sword intent.

Zhang Yun's pupils contracted slightly, and he gripped the Azure Dragon Thunder Halberd even tighter.

Is this the sword control technique of the Xuantian Immortal Sect?

As expected, it is completely different from the sword control technique of the Xuan Tian Sha Sect!

The swords of the Xuantian Sha Sect are domineering, bloodthirsty, and full of malevolent energy.

As the sword was drawn, a black wind howled, and ghosts wailed, as if it would tear everything in the world apart.

The swords of the Xuantian Immortal Sect are cold, elegant, and imbued with righteousness.

When the sword was drawn, a white light shone like a rainbow, and the sword intent soared to the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, carrying a righteous energy that cleansed the world.

One is righteous, the other is evil; they are clearly distinct.

Zhang Yun silently assessed the situation...

These two women are incredibly powerful. If they really want to deal with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them.

They really don't need to waste their breath arguing with me.

If they were truly to fight the Xuan Tian Sha Sect to the death, then they would be natural allies...

But allies are allies, and we still need to be vigilant!

"Fairy Ling"

Zhang Yun suddenly spoke, looking directly at Ling Qingxue, and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "We are complete strangers, yet you came by sword, killed six people from the Rakshasa Kingdom, and saved my two companions. You wouldn't be here just to tell us these sect secrets, would you?"

"If the two fairies have any requests, please feel free to speak them. I, Zhang Yun, will do my best to fulfill them."

"This can be considered as repaying the two fairies for saving my companion."

These words were direct, neither humble nor arrogant, and full of sincerity, which made Ling Qingxue look at Zhang Yun with new respect.

She could tell at a glance that Zhang Yun's cultivation level was only around the second tier, which is the so-called bronze summoner.

This level of cultivation, compared to that of a cultivator, is merely the Qi Refining Realm, not even the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But even with such a low level of cultivation, he was able to kill Asakawa, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and at the same time... he was not afraid of the pressure from his Golden Core.

This young man was even more outstanding than she had imagined...

Even within the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect, he would absolutely be qualified to enter the inner sect, and his achievements might even surpass those of himself.

Without a doubt, this young man is a dragon among men and deserves Ling Qingxue's respect.

She didn't beat around the bush and introduced herself: "My name is Ling Qingxue, and my cultivation level is half-step Golden Core."

"My junior sister Wanrou's cultivation level is at the peak of Foundation Establishment."

"The Golden Core Realm is equivalent to your Gold Summoner Realm."

"As for the Foundation Establishment Realm, it is naturally comparable to the Silver Summoner."

"However, in terms of individual combat strength alone, the fighting ability of us cultivators far surpasses that of you summoners."

Ling Qingxue's words were not arrogant, but simply the truth.

A fourth-tier green dragon is so powerful that even a gold-level summoner would flee in terror upon seeing it.

However, the Xuan Tian Sha Sect managed to defeat it with only three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators. If it were a Silver Summoner, hundreds of people would have died and they might not have been able to take it down.

Of course, prodigies like Zhang Yun cannot be included.

After all, once this guy reveals his true colors, the Green Dragon and he are evenly matched!

Ling Qingxue continued, "This time, my junior sister and I encountered disciples of the Xuan Tian Sha Sect, and naturally we hoped to annihilate them all in this secret realm."

"but..."

Ling Qingxue paused slightly, then said in a more serious tone, "With my half-step Golden Core strength, I can at most contend with Young Master Yu."

"Although Young Master Yu is a Golden Core cultivator, I am a half-step Golden Core cultivator with trump cards. I am confident that I can suppress him."

"But I'm not confident of securing a decisive victory."

"My junior sister Wanrou is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, so dealing with any one of the three from Beiye would be no problem."

"But if those three team up, my junior sister will most likely be the one to lose."

"I've come to you hoping you'll cooperate with us to deal with the villains of the Xuan Tian Sha Sect."

"As long as you and my junior sister can hold off the other three, I am confident that I can defeat Gongzi Yu. At that time... I will come back to help you fight and secure victory."

What do you think?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun finally understood the two women's intentions.

Zhang Yun fell silent, his mind racing.

These two people saved Li Mobai and Xiao Lan's lives, so he should repay them in return.

But Gongzi Yu is too terrifying. If Ling Qingxue can't withstand him and is suppressed by him first, then he will turn around and deal with him and Su Wanrou. The situation will be very precarious!

But it seems he has no other choice...

He killed a disciple of the Xuantian Sha Sect, and the Xuantian Sha Sect will not let him go.

If his guess is correct... the reason why Gongzi Yu did not appear before must be because he was guarding the east of the city, cutting off Zhang Yun's retreat.

Whether Zhang Yun likes it or not, as long as Gongzi Yu is alive, he will inevitably confront him!

Given Gongzi Yu's terrifying level of skill and strength, Zhang Yun had a premonition that even if he revealed all his trump cards, he might not be able to defeat him.

However, if one were to cooperate with these two female cultivators, the outcome would be quite different.

First of all, Ling Qingxue is incredibly strong and can hold off Gongzi Yu on her own.

He only needs to work with Su Wanrou to deal with the remaining three Foundation Establishment opponents.

This pressure... is a hundred times easier than when he faced Gongzi Yu and the others alone!

Therefore, he had absolutely no reason to refuse to cooperate.
