The Haotian Sect was acting strangely. Upon careful recollection, Ma Yu realized that when he arrived at the edge of the cliff, the Haotian Sect disciples did not seem to have made any moves.

They also avoided his sword energy.

"It seems to be because of that strange statue."

Ma Yu's heart sank, and then he looked at the cave in front of him.

This cave is the Langhuan Paradise, the place where Wuyazi of the Xiaoyao Sect once lived. Lu Changqing told Jia Xu about the details, and Jia Xu also talked about this place with Ma Yu.

Upon entering the cave, Ma Yu quickly saw a statue.

Ma Yu's first reaction was to look on with wariness, after all, the strange statue of Haotian Sect gave him a very strange feeling.

"Huh? Why does this statue look so much like the woman from Mantuo Villa?"

Ma Yu let out a soft exclamation; the statue looked exactly like Wang Yuyan.

"The statue even possesses spiritual energy; could it be a treasure?"

Upon closer inspection, Ma Yu's face lit up with joy, and without hesitation, he took out his spatial bag and put the statue away.

He tore the prayer mat to shreds, and two jade slips fell out.

"Hmm? Aren't there two cultivation manuals?"

Ma Yu frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it. He took the things and planned to leave.

On the other side, on Wuliang Mountain, the people from the Thirty-Six Caves had already rushed to the summit.

Behind them, Jia Xu stared at the location of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

"Something's not right. There's a strange aura emanating from the Boundless Sword Sect!"

Jia Xu's gaze was deep, and his Heavenly Calculation Eyes observed the flow of spiritual energy around him.

He saw that the original site of the Wuliang Sword Sect was shrouded in a mysterious power.

Just as he had predicted, the Haotian Sect disciples, who had been suffering repeated defeats, suddenly erupted.

Several sword energies attacked and killed the people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of people died under that strange sword energy.

Qiao Feng noticed the sword energy, and pushed out with his right palm. His true energy transformed into a faint dragon shadow, attacking one of the azure sword energies.

roar~

The dragon shadow seemed to let out a mournful cry before being severed by the sword energy and disappearing into the air.

Qiao Feng retreated repeatedly, trying to avoid the sword energy.

But he was too late. A strange red sword aura, like a serpent, attacked him.

"Am I going to die? I haven't even seen the end of the martial arts path yet!"

Qiao Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of regret in them.

During this time, he thought about many things. From the moment he learned about his background, he knew he could never go back.

Even his Khitan clan, to which he came from, disappeared after the collapse of the heavens, leaving him like a drifting duckweed.

With Jia Xu's invitation and his own talent in martial arts, he felt that he might be able to go further in the path of martial arts.

Just as the red sword light was about to strike his chest,

A pale white aura formed a protective shield in front of him.

bang~

The pale white aura only held out for a moment before the eerie sword energy dissipated.

A figure caught Qiao Feng's eye, and before he could say anything, Jia Xu led his men forward.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Jia Xu bowed respectfully to Lu Changqing, while the old woman and the sweeping monk behind him narrowed their eyes.

The handsome young man dressed in black robes before them was none other than Jia Xu's lord.

The owner of Changqing Tower!

"Greetings, Lord!"

"Greetings, Master of Changchun Tower!"

The old woman and the others quickly followed Jia Xu and respectfully bowed to Lu Changqing.

"No need for such formalities."

A gentle voice rang out, and Lu Changqing turned to look at the crowd.

"The Child Granny of Tianshan, the Sweeper Monk of Shaolin, and Qiao Feng?"

Lu Changqing's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, a faint smile on his face.

Jia Xu once told him that he would try to win over some people.

Currently, Qiao Feng and Tianshan Tonglao have agreed to join them, only the Sweeper Monk has not.

Therefore, the Sweeping Monk only referred to him as the Master of Changqing Tower.

Lu Changqing said he didn't care about the matter.

At that moment, a figure rushed towards Lu Changqing at an extremely fast speed.

It was Ma Yu who had returned from the back mountain.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Ma Yu bowed respectfully to Lu Changqing.

Seeing Ma Yu's somewhat disheveled appearance, Lu Changqing frowned slightly.

Ma Yu's strength has reached the second tier, and ordinary people are really no match for him.

"Tell me about this Haotian Sect?"

Lu Changqing looked at Jia Xu and Ma Yu and asked.

The old woman and the others wisely withdrew and went to gather the people from the thirty-six caves together.

After that last wave of attacks, the people in the 36th hole are in complete chaos.

"My lord, the Haotian Sect suddenly appeared in Wuliang Mountain three days ago."

With the two's explanations, Lu Changqing quickly gained a general understanding of the Haotian Sect.

The Haotian Sect's apparent strength is quite ordinary; the disciples are at most at the mid-stage of the first rank. However, under the strange statue, their strength is greatly enhanced.

"A strange statue... could it be the power of Shinto?"

Lu Changqing frowned slightly. The so-called divine path is to ignite the divine fire and establish a divine kingdom.

The path of gods is primarily about establishing divine statues and attracting faith. Indeed, there are quite a few forces in the vast universe that follow this path.

However, this path has a major drawback: the faith itself is toxic.

The power of faith is not pure power; it originates from an individual's belief in a deity, but not everyone can possess pure faith.

What makes living beings living beings is that they have seven emotions and six desires.

This is also why faith can be toxic.

"My lord, should we send Zilong and the others over?"

After a moment's thought, Jia Xu asked Lu Changqing.

In his view, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong should be able to deal with those Haotian Sect members.

The strength of Huangtian's warriors should not be underestimated.

"If they are truly a force that follows the divine path, the Yellow Heaven Warriors are not strong enough."

Lu Changqing shook his head slightly. The Yellow Heaven Warriors led by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are currently only at the early stage of the first tier.

After all, they had only recently switched to cultivating new techniques, and their strength had not yet broken through.

"Then, my lord..."

Jia Xu frowned slightly, unsure how to deal with the Haotian Sect.

Lu Changqing smiled, and then, with a thought, two petite figures appeared beside him.

"We pay homage to the Lord!"

Mu Lanxin, dressed in a light blue dress, and Shui Qinghe, dressed in a pale blue dress, both bowed to Lu Changqing at the same time.

The two were petite and looked frail.

"How is the Lotus Transformation cultivation of the Wood Spirit Clan progressing?"

"Can the Water Spirits completely control water-based weapons?"

Lu Changqing looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

Lotus Transformation is an extension of the Wood Spirit race's [Plant Attire] entry, where one absorbs and nurtures lotus flowers to transform into a battle form.

The Water Spirit Clan's Water Soldiers are an ability named by Lu Changqing after their control over the water element was greatly enhanced.

"My lord, the Wood Spirit Clan is ready for battle at any time!"

"My lord, the Water Spirit Clan is also a worthy opponent!"

A glint flashed in their eyes as they spoke simultaneously.

Although the Water Spirit Clan and the Wood Spirit Clan have always been cultivating and nurturing spiritual plants in the mortal realm, their cultivation has never ceased.

"good!"

Lu Changqing nodded, then pointed to the cluster of buildings not far away.

"Behind this place lies another world, whose power should be the divine path."

"Do either of you dare to venture in?"

Lu Changqing looked at the two of them and said in a serious tone.

"Where the lord directs, the army will advance!"

The two exchanged a glance, then bowed in response.

Lu Changqing smiled; he was also looking forward to seeing what kind of strength the two races could unleash.
