The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Now, she has become a god-like figure!

The shadowy figure let out a bitter laugh.

"Haha, hahaha..."

The laughter was so mournful that everyone present was terrified.

Is An Qingwan already this strong after only reaching the Grandmaster level?

An Qingwan reached out with her right hand and pulled the shadowy figure towards her just before it was swallowed by the black dragon.

She had intended to ask a few questions, but the moment she grabbed the shadowy figure by the neck, she knew there was no need for it.

The shadowy figure is dead.

She didn't kill him; she died on her own.

Her brows furrowed.

"Do you recognize who he is?"

An Qingwan removed the cloth from the dark figure's face.

The crowd recovered from their shock and began to look.

“This is…” Yu Shen’s eyelids twitched, “Isn’t this Xue Qianli, the second master of Xiaoyao Manor?”

Han Peng was also shocked: "How could he be a Grandmaster? And why would he appear here to seize the bodies of the Dao Lord and that demon of the Great Bright Sect?"

The truth is truly unbelievable.

Xiaoyao Manor is one of the seven great families in the martial arts world. In the eyes of outsiders, Xiaoyao Manor is the same as Tingyun Manor, as it no longer has a grandmaster in charge.

but……

"This is really illogical. Over the years, because there has been no Grandmaster in charge, Xiaoyao Manor's assets in Huainan have been completely swallowed up by the Xu family of Huainan. They have suffered a lot. If Xue Qianli is really a Grandmaster, why would he hide it? He could just release the news directly. How would the Xu family dare to bully them so wantonly?"

An Qingwan suddenly interjected, "This person is not a Grandmaster."

"what?"

These words surprised Yu Shen and the others even more.

"how do I say this?"

An Qingwan said, "Although he has demonstrated the strength of a Grandmaster, that strength does not belong to him. He has two internal energies in his dantian."

Yu Shen was taken aback: "Two internal forces? You mean he's being controlled?"

An Qingwan said, "It's not necessarily that he was controlled. It's also possible that he voluntarily accepted that internal force. I can't say for sure. In short, there must be a master behind him. That person's martial arts are not only extremely powerful, but also extremely unique."

Yu Shenshen agreed.

There are many martial arts techniques in the martial arts world that can control others, but martial arts techniques that can temporarily lend one's own power to others are extremely rare.

"Was it done by the Great Brightness Cult? Or someone else?"

Yu Shen and the others racked their brains, but couldn't come up with a solution.

An Qingwan said, "Since this person wants to take the Dao Lord's body, he must have something in mind. In my opinion, you should ignore Qi Wang and his group for now and let the Dao Lord be laid to rest as soon as possible. The operation must be carried out in secrecy and the news must not be leaked."

Master Xuanjing nodded quickly, then asked, "Would the goddess like to travel with us?"

An Qingwan turned north: "I won't go. This is an opportunity. If we can seize this opportunity, we might be able to wipe out the Great Brightness Cult in one fell swoop!"

She thought of Su Nong, whom she had previously impersonated as the eldest grandson of the Purple Palace Master to pass on her skills.

Now this chess piece can be put to use for the first time.

Xuanjing Celestial Master immediately understood that An Qingwan wanted to take advantage of the situation to invade the northern desert. His expression changed slightly: "Isn't this too risky?"

An Qingwan said, "Please don't worry, everyone. I know what I'm doing."

Now is the time when the Great Brightness Cult is at its weakest. If we don't kill them now, when will we?

Just rush and that’s it!

Amidst an army of 136,000, they took the enemy's head. [4k]

An Qingwan did not stay in Pujindu for long.

She had no concern whatsoever for the life or death of the Emperor of Liang and the Prince of Qi.

Therefore, seeing that the other party intended to win him over, he immediately crossed the river by water.

Before leaving, she intended to return the Heavenly Will Sword, which the Dao Lord had lent her, to Shen Ruiqing.

However, Shen Ruiqing directly declined, saying that since she was going to the northern desert, she should bring a good sword that could cut a hair with a single blow and was hard and difficult to break. With such a good sword, she would be much safer even when using sword control techniques.

After thinking about it, An Qingwan accepted Shen Ruiqing's kindness.

After she left, Yu Shen and the others also hurriedly said goodbye and headed east.

They first had to hide the Daoist Master's body to prevent the person hiding in the shadows from continuing to commit crimes. After that, they also had to check on the situation of the Wanma Escort Agency and Xiaoyao Manor.

Wanma Escort Agency is the largest escort agency in the world, with its members spread across 360 states. Although it does not have a grandmaster in charge, its influence on the entire martial arts world is extremely profound.

On the other hand, although Xiaoyao Manor has declined, it is still one of the seven great families of the martial arts world and the largest martial arts force in the entire ancient Yuzhou region, and should not be underestimated.

It can be said that Yu Shen and his companions faced numerous dangers on their journey.

However, with Yu Miaozhen accompanying them, they should not encounter too much danger.

"Let me see what kind of martial arts technique he's unleashed this time."

On her way back to the capital to find Lan Xiaogu, An Qingwan opened the martial arts treasure chest she had obtained after killing Xue Qianli.

Because Xue Qianli's martial arts skills were not particularly high, and he relied entirely on external forces, she did not expect to be able to unleash any outstanding martial arts skills this time.

Unexpectedly, when she had no expectations, the system gave her a pleasant surprise—

Yan Nantian's swordsmanship!

In fact, at An Qingwan's current level, she is no longer bound by ordinary sword techniques.

But Yan Nantian's sword was no ordinary sword; it was the swordsmanship of the number one swordsman in the martial world, comparable to Yaoyue.

The sword techniques that An Qingwan had mastered before.

For example, the Afei Quick Sword is the ultimate in fast swordsmanship and the purest technique of drawing and stabbing.

For example, the celestial sword is a flawless and immaculate sword, a sword that combines elegance, agility, speed, and brilliance.

For example, the Thirteen Deadly Swords, as its name suggests, are swords that take lives. From the first to the fifteenth sword, death is the natural evolution of swordsmanship.

Yan Nantian's swordsmanship is different from all of these swordsmanships.

It is a sword that is both blunt and hard. Once unleashed, it is wide-ranging, strong and powerful. Its domineering moves are unparalleled in the world.

However, it is not simply a fierce and brutal sword technique; it is also a sword technique that is both rough and refined. Using this extraordinary sword technique, one can take the head of the commander-in-chief in a million-strong army, or cut a single hair vertically in two.

This is a type of swordsmanship that An Qingwan had never encountered before.

Although acquiring this sword technique wouldn't greatly improve her strength, it would broaden her horizons and give her a deeper understanding of the way of the sword.

This greatly benefits her in integrating the art of swordsmanship into the natural world and comprehending a higher realm.

"The heart of the sword is the heart of the people, and the heart of the people is the heart of the sword."

"The Emperor's Qi Observation Technique also emphasizes that people are born with a nature, which shapes the spirit, and the spirit shapes the qi. The internal strength that a martial artist develops is a reflection of their nature."

"Although these martial arts are different, they are essentially the same."

An Qingwan was in a great mood.

However, her mood was not so pleasant after she returned to the capital.

Lan Xiaogu has been attacked!

The attackers were from the Wanma Escort Agency.

Fortunately, Lan Xiaogu possessed the true energy of immortality, and her martial arts skills had long surpassed those of her former self.

The men from the Wanma Escort Agency broke into Lan Xiaogu's residence intending to capture her alive, but they never expected that Lan Xiaogu's skillful hands would break all their arms and legs before they could even make a move.

Looking at the group of assassins from the Wanma Escort Agency, all of whom had been crippled, An Qingwan was so angry she laughed.

Before she could even make a move, the Great Brightness Sect and the Ten Thousand Horses Escort Agency had already taken action.

What exactly is the relationship between the Wanma Escort Agency and the Great Brightness Cult?

Under the threat of vicious martial arts such as the Xuanming Divine Palm and the Bone-Melting Palm, those originally stubborn assassins all became open and honest.

It turns out that the reason why Wanma Escort Agency was able to develop into the number one escort agency in the world in just two or three decades was inseparable from the secret support of the Great Brightness Sect.

With the support of the Great Brightness Sect, Wanma Escort Agency could go to places that other escort agencies couldn't, including the northern deserts and Liaodong.

With such advantages, how could Wanma Escort Agency not grow bigger?

With countless sums of money flowing into his pocket and seeing so many benefits, Tang Jincheng, a man from Hongshan, abandoned his Han identity and completely pledged allegiance to the Great Brightness Sect and the Turks.

Not only did he pledge allegiance to the Great Brightness Sect and the Turks, but he also actively offered advice and strategies to them, hoping that the Turks could take control of the Central Plains.

This is because he will gain more benefits in the future.

"This ungrateful, despicable, shameless, and despicable scoundrel!"

Lan Xiaogu couldn't help but curse angrily.

She wanted nothing more than to kill all these villains with a single blow, but for the sake of the bigger picture, she deliberately spared a few of them.

She fed these people poison and Gu worms, and also had An Qingwan apply several poison techniques to them.

"You all go back to the Wanma Escort Agency and lie low. If there is any urgent intelligence, find a way to send it to my residence, understand?"

Now that things have come to this, the few survivors dared not resist and all nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.

Only after seeing them all off did An Qingwan and Lan Xiaogu pack their belongings and head north.

The Life-Devouring Gu that Su Nong swallowed contained the Thousand-Mile Tracking Powder prepared by Lan Xiaogu. Even though he fled thousands of miles away, he still could not escape the pursuit of the Gu worm in Lan Xiaogu's arms.

……

Just as An Qingwan and Lan Xiaogu were heading north.

The political landscape of the world quietly changed when King Qi led his army eastward to Ye City.

With the departure of the King of Qi, only the Prince of Huaiyang, who was unwilling to leave, remained to guard the capital.

The vast capital city was now defended with less than one-fifth of its previous strength, and most of the experts who had gathered there had dispersed.

The Guanzhong region was practically undefended.

How could the various forces located near Guanzhong sit idly by and let such a good opportunity slip away? In an instant, the Great Qin Heavenly King in the west and the various rebel armies in the south all became restless.

at this time.

The territory of Fengzhou in the Hetao region.

This place is already the northern border of Daliang. Beyond Fengzhou lies the Turkic Khaganate.

On the mountain road, an army of 20,000 men was slowly marching.

This army was the elite force of the Turks. They were originally stationed on the west bank of the Yellow River, waiting for Garuda King to eliminate Daozhu, the Emperor of Daliang, and the King of Qi before they would join forces with Ji Xiaojie's Hebei army to quickly march south and advance on Guanzhong.

However, just as everyone was getting excited, no one expected that what came from the front was not good news, but a shocking tragedy.

The Dao Lord of the Central Plains did indeed die, but Garuda King was also seriously injured, and the Grandmaster Yun Guixu who came from overseas died on the spot.

The news was so terrifying that when it was first received, the Turkic army unanimously thought it was a false message from the enemy.

But they soon found out it was all true.

Because all the masters who accompanied King Garuda to Pujindu fled back in disarray.

In an instant, the morale of the entire army completely collapsed.

Even the god-like Garuda King is seriously injured, so what's the point of continuing this battle?

Seeing that morale was extremely low, the Turkic general immediately ordered a retreat.

With the Turks withdrawing, Ji Xiaojie, the Khan of the Capital, who had been sharpening his sword, had no choice but to back down.

"Thanks to that grandmaster who appeared out of nowhere, otherwise we probably wouldn't have made it back."

"May the Bright One protect us! May the Bright One protect us!"
