Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

Even Lu Xue, who was high and mighty, had to be inferior to Hong Ling.

Hongling looked Lu Xue up and down, her eyes filled with a meaningful gaze.

Finally, he slowly uttered a sentence.

"Are you the person Li Ping'an has been longing for for decades?"

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

No one understood why Hongling would suddenly bring this up.

After all, for such a grand occasion, Hong Ling's tone sounded somewhat teasing.

Li Ping'an, especially, was so shocked by what he saw that his mouth was agape and he couldn't close it for a long time.

No, Hongling summoned the Holy Maiden Lu Xue just to discuss this matter? She's insane!

Li Ping'an suddenly felt like he was being publicly humiliated.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xue's expression changed abruptly.

He then coldly replied, "I have nothing to say to someone like him, a member of the demon race!"

Hongling snorted coldly and said.

"Li Ping'an is not a member of the demon race; he just happened to be with us!"

After saying that, Hongling squinted at Lu Xue.

"Li Ping'an spent sixty years forging iron in an iron house just to see you once!"

"This affection is so deep and profound! And you, simply because Li Ping'an has known you since childhood, have become your inner demon! You want his life, and you even put it so grandly!"

"Is this how you people of the Lingtian Holy Land behave? It's disgusting! You always say we're demons, but how much better are you in your actions?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room erupted in uproar.

It turns out the saintess returned to kill the man she loved.

That's a bit too heartless.

Many people know about Li Ping'an's deeds.

Although many people think he's a toad trying to eat swan meat, fantasizing and delusional.

However, the saintess's approach was a bit too ruthless and cold-blooded.

Hongling revealed the truth in public, and Lu Xue gritted her teeth.

His eyes were filled with rage as he looked at Hongling.

Once this gets out, Lu Xue's reputation will be completely ruined.

Li Ping'an below was even more shocked.

How could Hongling know these things?

He had never met Hongling, nor had he told her about it.

How did he know so much detail?

He even knew the reason why the saintess wanted to kill him in such detail.

It's so weird.

Could it be that Hong Ling has control over every move this sect makes?

However, when he heard Hongling harshly criticizing the Holy Maiden Lu Xue, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

It turns out that she suddenly called Lu Xue out to question her because she felt she had been wronged.

"What! You have a problem with what I said?"

Hongling's tone became extremely stern.

The anger in Lu Xue's eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant.

But then he raised his head and said.

"We are both holy maidens of the holy land! It's just that you have been cultivating for longer than me and your cultivation level is higher."

"There is no difference in seniority between us! You humiliated me in front of so many people, and I, Lu Xue, will remember it! One day, I will repay this humiliation in full!"

Lu Xue held her head high.

Even though he was facing a terrifyingly powerful expert at the late Foundation Establishment stage, close to the Nascent Soul stage.

Yet they showed no fear whatsoever.

His Daoist heart must never be extinguished.

Seeing Lu Xue's resolute gaze, Hong Ling couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He nodded immediately, "Okay! I've been waiting for this day!"

After saying that, Hongling and Honglian meant that they were preparing to leave.

After all, this battle was already a great victory.

The desired goal has been achieved.

They recovered a priceless treasure that had been lost for thousands of years.

They also annihilated all four major sects.

It can be said to be the epitome of perfection.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw bursts of dazzling golden light flash across the sky.

In that instant, it was as if a pair of hands had forcibly torn a hole in the dark clouds in the sky.

A pair of large hands reached out!

Those large hands shimmered with a dazzling light.

It was as if a celestial being had reached out a hand from the sky to the human world.

A large hand reached towards the ground, its golden palm open.

A towering figure appeared in the palm of his hand.

His figure was tall and imposing, radiating a dazzling starlight.

His eyes seemed to hold the vast ocean and the stars.

He is depicted as a middle-aged man in his forties.

He possessed extraordinary bearing and exuded an unparalleled aura.

It is so beautiful that one cannot help but want to worship it.

When this person appeared, the four sect leaders were overjoyed.

After a brief moment of surprise, the saintess also knelt down with a joyful expression.

"Holy Lord! You have arrived!"

Yes, it is indeed the Holy Lord!

The Holy Lord of Lingtian Holy Land, a supreme being.

His cultivation level is above the Nascent Soul stage.

His strength is unfathomable and incomparably powerful.

The four sect leaders and all the righteous cultivators and disciples dropped their weapons and knelt down in devout worship.

This is the Holy Lord of the Lingtian Holy Land.

In their eyes, it was as if a god had descended to earth.

It is an existence that is unattainable and inviolable.

I never expected him to come here.

The Holy Lord glanced at him but did not speak.

But a voice containing supreme divine power echoed across the sky.

Everyone felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

It seems that even some of his strength has been restored.

This is the terrifying power brought by the Holy Lord.

In an instant, the cultivators became even more devout and respectful towards the Holy Lord of Lingtian Holy Land.

"Lu Xue, you haven't disappointed me! You haven't tarnished the reputation of our Lingtian Holy Land!"

The Holy Lord looked at Lu Xue, his eyes full of admiration.

Just now, Lu Xue faced Hong Ling with neither arrogance nor servility, and showed no fear whatsoever.

This made him very satisfied.

Lu Xue didn't speak, but just glanced at Hong Ling not far away.

Even if the Holy Lord were not here today, I would still challenge you!

Let's discuss the real results again in a few years!

At this moment, Hongling's face turned extremely ugly.

It was actually the Holy Lord! The Holy Lord of Lingtian never went out and was used to seclusion.

I never expected to make a special trip to the Tongtian Sword Sect.

"You two juniors are causing trouble within the jurisdiction of my Lingtian Holy Land!"

Only then did the Holy Lord finally turn his gaze to Honglian and Hongling in the distance.

Honglian, her face full of dissatisfaction, raised her chin and looked at the Holy Lord.

"It wasn't us who acted recklessly! It was clearly these four major sects who bullied us! Now we're just making them pay a price!"

Hongling, knowing the Holy Lord's immense power, spoke in a slightly more polite tone.

"Our main purpose in coming to these four major sects was to retrieve the supreme treasures that our Canglan Holy Land had lost for a thousand years. Now that we have retrieved them all, we are ready to leave!"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord nodded and said...

"I know about this; your Holy Lord also told me. I will not get involved!"

Hearing this, Hongling breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The expressions of the four sect leaders changed from excitement to disappointment.

What?! The Holy Lord actually said he wouldn't get involved in this matter!

Doesn't that mean their sacred treasure really was taken away by that Hong Ling guy?

You should know that over the years, the four major sects have relied on the sacred treasures that each member possesses to protect their sect.

However, they acted with impunity in this area, and no other sect dared to provoke them.

Now that the sacred treasure is gone, life will probably not be so comfortable from now on.

However, the Holy Lord suddenly changed the subject.

"Just now, in front of everyone, you humiliated the Holy Maiden of my Lingtian Holy Land! How should this be settled?"
