The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

"How come she looks like she could be Lan Xiaogu's mother?" An Qingwan's lips twitched.

"Say less and lend a hand. Help me lay Miss Gongsun flat on the ground so I can treat her injuries first."

Upon hearing that An Qingwan was going to heal Gongsun Hongdie, everyone in Moyu Valley, no matter how puzzled or curious they were about what had happened, fell silent.

A quarter of an hour later.

Gongsun Hongdie slowly woke up.

"Am I really not dreaming?"

An Qingwan said, "Of course you're not dreaming." She then recounted what had happened recently.

"After arriving in Sichuan, I was worried about not being able to find you when I discovered this guy. I followed him and found you. Your sister, Miss Lan, also wanted to save you, but I was afraid something might happen to you, so I came here first with this Lord Leng. Miss Lan is still on her way, but she will be here soon."

Gongsun Hongdie pouted: "I didn't beg her to come."

An Qingwan laughed and said, "You'll be very surprised when you see her again."

Gongsun Hongdie asked, "What's wrong with her?"

An Qingwan said, "You'll understand when you see her. For now, let's deal with the matters of your Moyu Valley first."

At this point, Gongsun Hongdie immediately showed hatred on her face: "The attackers included not only people from Huoluo Kingdom, but also people from the Xu family of Huainan."

An Qingwan frowned and said, "So there really are people from the Xu family?"

Gongsun Hongdie said, "They are seeking revenge for the defeat of the Great Brightness Sect in Sichuan, and they also want to capture me to threaten you."

An Qingwan said, "It's all my fault. If I had done it sooner..."

Gongsun Hongdie and the other members of Moyu Valley said, "How can you blame yourself? Blame Huoluo Kingdom and Xu Zhong for doing such a shameless thing. They have truly disgraced the name of a Grandmaster!"

After cursing, Gongsun Hongdie continued, "When I was running away, I heard them say that they not only wanted to take action against Moyu Valley, but also had their eyes on Si Xueyi's Su Family Escort Agency, the Miao Village where Lan Xiaogu lived, and even the Zhen'an County Government Office where you used to work. They said that although you no longer have any relatives, you are a sentimental person, and the constables in the county government office who worked with you can also be used."

An Qingwan's expression changed. What?

When she fell out with the Prince of Pingnan, the Prince of Pingnan did not take any drastic measures against Zhen'an County, but Huoluo Kingdom and Xu Chong were able to do such a thing.

"Fine, fine, since they're capable of such a thing, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

An Qingwan originally did not plan to go directly to the Xu family, but intended to try diplomacy first and then resort to force.

But now that the other party has done such a thing, why should she bother with formalities anymore? "Lord Leng, please take care of Miss Gongsun here."

Leng Qingyou asked, "Where are you going?" An Qingwan replied, "To kill someone."

She brought her sword and a member of the Jade Valley.

The people she wanted to kill were naturally the people of Huoluo Kingdom and the Xu family.

With her current strength, killing even the most powerful martial arts practitioners would be incredibly easy for her.

In just half a day, An Qingwan traveled through Zizhou, visiting the members of the Moyu Valley.

Under their guidance, they slaughtered 127 people from the Huo Luo Kingdom and 62 members of the Xu family. "Now that this matter is settled, let's head to Jingxiang!"

Gongsun Hongdie naturally had no objections. The group quickly left Sichuan.

Because people from Jin Xueyi and Lan Xiaogu's hometowns had already gone there, only Zhen'an County was completely undefended.

Fortunately, when An Qingwan arrived in Zhen'an County, everything was still normal. Her speed was so fast that neither Huoluo Kingdom nor the Xu family had time to make a move.

When that group of people appeared, she caught them red-handed.

Seeing that the danger in Zhen'an County had been averted, An Qingwan no longer intended to hide.

She immediately summoned all the martial arts practitioners in the vicinity and, in front of hundreds or thousands of people, issued the "Demon-Slaying Order".

"The Xu family colluded with the Fire Luo Kingdom and the Great Brightness Sect, not only attacking the Ink Jade Valley, which made outstanding contributions to the martial arts world of Sichuan, but also intending to carry out a dirty trick on Zhen'an County. How is this any different from the actions of the Demonic Sect?"

"As the head of the Xu family, Xu Chong couldn't possibly be unaware of this matter, yet he did nothing to stop it. How is his behavior any different from that of the likes of the Cangming Saint Master?"

"Today, before all my fellow martial arts practitioners, I, An Qingwan, break my sword and swear that I will dedicate my life to defeating Xu Zhong and rid the martial arts world of this wicked man who treats human life as worthless!"

A grandmaster declaring war on another grandmaster, and in a way that is irreconcilable, is something that has not happened in the martial arts world for ten years.

Moreover, this matter also involves An Qingwan and Xu Zhong, and it has also revealed Xu Zhong's secret.

Therefore, not long after An Qingwan issued the Demon-Slaying Order, the news spread far and wide.

Xu Zhong, who was at the center of the incident, naturally received the news soon after.

He sat alone in a quiet room, silently pondering how the situation had come to this.

Perhaps it was because they underestimated An Qingwan's abilities?

In fact, they had already overestimated An Qingwan's strength as much as possible.

While An Qingwan was sparring with the Sword God, they sent out a large number of people to ambush her, and even dispatched the Black Sky Extreme Witch.

Fearing failure, he even sent people to Sichuan and Jingzhou in advance to capture those who were close to An Qingwan.

Having come to this point, can you say they don't value An Qingwan? However...

Who would have thought that An Qingwan, having just become a Grandmaster, would possess strength surpassing even the Sword God?

Xu Zhong was taken aback.

The Black Sky Witch never expected this.

That fake Garuda King never expected this.

No one could have imagined it, because before An Qingwan, no one had ever been this powerful right after becoming a Grandmaster.

This is a problem that wisdom alone cannot solve.

If An Qingwan were just an ordinary Grandmaster, or if she were very powerful but only on par with the Sword God, then their actions would definitely be enough to eliminate both An Qingwan and the Sword God.

Why did the Black Heavenly Witch have to perish? Why did the plan have to be exposed? "Was this my fault?"

"Is this the fault of the Black Sky Witch?"

The one who's wrong is clearly An Qingwan; she shouldn't be so powerful. An Qingwan, you're the real monster!

"No one can stop me. I will not only be the emperor of the sword, but also the emperor of the world!"

At this moment, Xu Zhong's eyes seemed to hold a thousand ravines, and his blade seemed to contain the universe.

Amidst the noise.

A day later, the news spread throughout the martial arts world again.

It turns out that Mr. Han Jing, who had returned to the Qing Shuang Sect, also issued the Demon-Slaying Order, vowing to fight to the death with Master Cangming and Old Monster Wen of the Yuanyang Sect.

In a short period of time, a Demon-Slaying Order was issued in every corner of the country. For the first time in a hundred years, the martial world was bustling with activity.

The Yin-Yang Harmony Longevity Method (156), with Yu Miaozhen's assistance [6k]

"Mr. Han Jing also swore to the outside world that he must eliminate Master Cangming? It seems that the Qing Shuang Sect has suffered a great loss this time. Master Cangming really went all out."

Upon receiving the message, An Qingwan raised an eyebrow slightly.

She turned and asked, "What deep-seated hatred exists between the Yinji Sect and the Qingshuang Sect?" Leng Qingyou replied, "Decades ago, when the Qi Dynasty split, the Yinji Sect and the Qingshuang Sect..."

The Frost Sect fought a fierce battle, during which several successors of the Frost Sect died, and a Senior Master of the Yin Extreme Sect also perished. But which of the five righteous sects or the seven great families didn't have enmity with the Yin Extreme Sect? Their enmity with the Frost Sect was hardly a major one.

An Qingwan asked, "Since there's no particular deep-seated hatred, what is the purpose of Master Cangming's attack on the Qingshuang Sect this time? Is it to eliminate the formidable enemy, Mr. Hanjing, before plotting against other sects, or is there some other motive?"

Given the current situation, she found it hard to believe that the Holy Master Cangming had acted on a whim; there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Leng Qingyou said, "Could it be that Han Jing did something to anger the Holy Master Cangming?"

An Qingwan nodded: "That's certainly possible." Gongsun Hongdie asked, "What could it be?"

An Qingwan smiled and said, "There are just too many possibilities. I can't think of any for the time being. Let's not talk about this now. Miss Lan and the others have already arrived."

As they said this, everyone looked toward the overgrown waterway outside Zhen'an County.

Under the gloomy winter sunset, a small boat that could only carry a dozen or so people slowly sailed by.

Standing at the bow of the ship was the arrogant Lan Xiaogu.

—The kind with really high toes, those white jade-like toes sticking up really high on the bow of the boat.

Seeing her like this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Xiaogu must have escaped unscathed along the way, otherwise she would have been drooping her head like a heat-stricken puppy, and wouldn't have been in the mood to deliberately run to the bow of the boat to show off her feet.

Just as everyone had guessed.

As soon as the boat docked, Lan Xiaogu jumped down quickly, running and hopping while laughing, "Those people from Huoluo Kingdom are really funny. They actually dared to play with Gu poison in front of me. They really don't know their own limitations. After I broke the Gu poison, they were still angry and tried to bully me with numbers. In the end, these idiots beat me for a long time but couldn't hurt me. Instead, they all became dizzy from the shock. In the end, I easily defeated them, hehe."

An Qingwan then praised, "Miss Lan is very capable."

Before Lan Xiaogu could say anything more, Gongsun Hongdie exclaimed in surprise.

"Lan Xiaogu, when did your internal energy become so profound?"

From the moment they each obtained a unique type of immortal energy, a subtle "sensory connection" developed between her and Lan Xiaogu.

This perception couldn't allow her to know what Lan Xiaogu was thinking, but once the two were close enough, she could vaguely sense the flow of Lan Xiaogu's internal energy and the changes in her body.

All of this stems from the yin-yang complementarity of the true energy of longevity.

At this moment, Gongsun Hongdie discovered that Lan Xiaogu's internal energy had become as deep as the sea, completely unfathomable.

This shocked her so much that her eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be?

When she parted ways with Lan Xiaogu, their internal strength was almost identical, but now, only a few months later, how did Lan Xiaogu become so powerful?

Lan Xiaogu had already made up her mind to put on a good show in front of Gongsun Hongdie, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the bow of the boat.

Now that she could see that Gongsun Hongdie had noticed her change, she no longer suppressed her emotions.

She walked up to Gongsun Hongdie with her head held high and chest out: "What Lan Xiaogu? How rude of you! Quickly call me sister!"

Gongsun Hongdie: "....

Lan Xiaogu said, "Call me 'sister,' and I'll tell you how I became so powerful."

Gongsun Hongdie gritted her teeth, but finally shouted reluctantly.

"elder sister."

She desperately wanted to know the truth.

Upon hearing the word "sister," Lan Xiaogu immediately smiled. Her eyes sparkled, turning into crescent moons, as if the moonlight was about to overflow from them. Her body tingled with excitement and joy.

Yes, yes, that's it!

"A little stiff, but not bad, my dear sister, remember that next time."

To maintain this excellent performance...

Gongsun Hongdie suppressed the urge to fight Lan Xiaogu hand-to-hand. She glared at Lan Xiaogu and demanded, "Are you going to talk or not?"

Lan Xiaogu waved her hand: "Actually, it's nothing big. It's all thanks to Sister An."

She recounted how she followed An Qingwan to the desert and ultimately obtained the inner strength of Garuda King and Su Nong.

Not to mention Gongsun Hongdie, who was being relentlessly attacked, even Leng Qingyou, who was standing to the side, was getting red-eyed from listening.

OK!

No wonder I noticed you seemed stronger than before; it turns out it's because you absorbed the Gu King from Garuda King's body!

Upon learning the truth, Leng Qingyou nearly fainted from anger.

The reason she went to the northern desert was for the Gu King on Garuda King's body.

In the end, she got nothing and was instead bullied and tyrannized by An Qingwan. How despicable!

However angry she was, seeing so many people around, Leng Qingyou didn't go to find An Qingwan immediately.

The same was true for Gongsun Hongdie.

She just looked at An Qingwan with a resentful gaze.

Although An Qingwan couldn't see Gongsun Hongdie's eyes, she could still feel the sorrow in them.

She coughed lightly and hurried towards Jin Xueyi. "Miss Jin, it's been a long time."

Jin Xueyi followed beside Yu Miaozhen and Sikong Tingxue. Upon seeing her, she immediately gave a slight bow.

“Miss An, I was always worried about you while I was in Jingxiang. I’m so glad to know that you were worried about me too.”

An Qingwan asked, "Did the people from Huoluo Kingdom and the Xu family hurt you?"
