The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

elder sister?

I'm afraid Gongsun Hongdie won't acknowledge her as her older sister.

opponent?

Gongsun Hongdie probably wouldn't want to listen to her either.

stranger?

Then why should she speak to Gongsun Hongdie?

Helpless, Lan Xiaogu could only stand there.

She stood there, and Gongsun Hongdie, who didn't like to talk much to begin with, also stood there.

The eerie atmosphere only dissipated when An Qingwan arrived.

"You must be a little tired after a long day?"

Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie said eagerly, "We're not tired."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Xiaogu looked at Gongsun Hongdie with a puzzled expression.

What's going on? Wasn't Sister An asking me? Why are you replying too?

Gongsun Hongdie completely ignored Lan Xiaogu's gaze, her bright eyes suddenly gaining a touch of color, and even her chest stood out even more.

Although An Qingwan couldn't see, she could sense that Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie were secretly competing.

In her view, this was by no means a bad thing.

It's good to make a fuss.

A little playful banter allows two people to have more contact, and more contact allows them to deepen their understanding of each other.

It would be truly tragic if two people never argued or made a fuss, and didn't even want to look at each other.

They were sisters, and it's much better for them to put aside their past grievances and become a loving family than to be like strangers and never speak to each other again.

An Qingwan decided to give them a push from behind, to deepen their connection.

She originally intended to transfer her true energy to Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie separately, but now she plans to do it all at once.

An Qingwan smiled and said, "Since you're not tired, then sit down. I will pass on the two streams of true energy that Daoist Huanxi gave you."

"Infuriated?"

Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie were completely bewildered.

An Qingwan recounted what had just happened, and the two were immediately shocked, waving their hands in refusal.

“Sister An (An Qingwan), this true energy of yours is much more useful than mine.”

An Qingwan said with a stern face, "My internal energy cultivation has long been accomplished, and I have no need for these two streams of true energy. If you don't want them, then I will disperse these two streams of true energy."

Since she had put it that way, how could Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie refuse?

The two had no choice but to sit down obediently, and Ren Anqing sent her true energy into their bodies.

Lan Xiaogu obtained the yang-type longevity energy, while Gongsun Hongdie obtained the yin-type longevity energy.

In the martial arts world, internal strength is fundamental for practitioners.

Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie have obtained these two strange true energies. As long as they can successfully transform them into their own power, their strength will surely increase greatly.

This is of course a good thing.

An Qingwan smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Since her journey began in Zhen'an County, she has become increasingly aware that human capabilities are ultimately finite.

This is, after all, a martial arts world, not a fantasy world where one can "transform freely."

Even if she could fight a thousand men on Mount Qingcheng and defeat the Great Brightness Sect, what would she do if the Great Brightness Sect launched an attack in the capital or some other place thousands of miles away?

She can never seem to find a place to be.

There are only two ways to deal with this situation!

The first method is to increase strength, strike at the heart of the problem, and crush the Great Brightness Cult at its source, preventing it from committing further evil deeds.

The second approach is to find more like-minded partners, work together to increase combat strength, and strengthen the reputation of the righteous path. Once the number of righteous masters far exceeds that of evil forces, how many people in the martial world will dare to act recklessly?

Garuda King?

Heavenly Lord?

If I bring ten or eight grandmasters to play with you, would you dare to peek out and give a shout?

An Qingwan is no longer a child, so she naturally chooses to do both things well.

However, she doesn't know many people in the martial arts world right now, so if she wants to revitalize the righteous path, she can only start with the unpolished gems, Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie.

After obtaining the true energy, Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie subconsciously exchanged a glance.

Just as An Qingwan had thought, the two of them were already determined to surpass each other.

An Qingwan removed her hands, stood up and said, "Now that the transfer of skills is over, let's go see the people from the Great Brightness Sect."

Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie had no objections.

The three of them traveled together to the place of torture.

Under the urging of Master Luo and others, the survivors of the Great Brightness Sect finally couldn't hold on any longer and confessed everything they knew.

Just as everyone suspected, the Li family of Yizhou had already completely submitted to the Great Brightness Sect several years ago.

The Great Brightness Sect strongly supports Li Xintong's claim to the throne of Shu. In return, after establishing his own rule in Sichuan and Chongqing, Li Xintong will cooperate with the Great Brightness Sect and the Turks to drive the Western Regions Heavenly Sect's forces back to the Western Regions from Longyou, Hexi and other places.

"So the Heavenly Sect and the Great Brightness Cult don't get along?"

Sect Leader Luo said, "The Heavenly Sect originated in the Western Regions, and most of the fifty-five kingdoms in the Western Regions are subordinate to the Heavenly Sect. The Great Brightness Sect and the Turks have always wanted to control the Western Regions, so the two sides have never been at odds."

An Qing nodded in the evening.

There's no time to worry about that now.

Now that we know that the entire Li family of Yizhou joined the Great Brightness Sect, and not just Li Xintong alone, what is there to hesitate about?

That very night, numerous sects on Mount Qingcheng mustered their forces and headed straight for Chengdu.

The Li family of Yizhou were still anxiously waiting for Li Xintong to bring back good news.

Once Li Xintong succeeds, they can immediately launch an uprising under the pretext of avenging the grievances of the people of Sichuan.

Hearing someone calling from outside, the person guarding the door happily opened it.

"Did Master Bai Ma succeed?"

"There is no White Horse Master here, only your Grandpa Luo of Luoyan Sect!"

With a single palm strike, Master Luo sent the gatekeeper flying onto the roof.

In an instant, thousands of martial arts practitioners stormed into the Li family mansion. In fact, many armored soldiers had been secretly lying in ambush inside the mansion, but these soldiers were no match for this group of furious martial arts practitioners.

You schemed and plotted against me!

You dare to dream of becoming king!

You're colluding with foreign tribes!

A raging fire, a night of swords and shadows.

As the summer breeze at dawn swept through Chengdu, the Li family of Yizhou's beautiful dream vanished on this vast land with the crowing of a rooster.

The Li family of Yizhou has fallen.

The legend of Li Xintong, a figure in the Sichuan martial arts world, has fallen.

But as dawn broke, a brand new legend of the martial arts world began to rise over Sichuan.

No one could fail to praise An Qingwan's swordsmanship.

No one can deny how formidable An Qingwan is.

The Luoyan Sect Leader and others acknowledged it.

Those members of the Great Light Cult who hid in the shadows and never showed themselves could only accept it with a guilty conscience.

They fled Yizhou at breakneck speed, heading straight north, eager to inform King Garuda of what had happened there as soon as possible.

At this moment, An Qingwan, who was hailed as a legend in the martial arts world, had just come out of the house that Huanxi Daoren had purchased in Yizhou.

She has obtained the secret manual of immortality.

This is a unique Taoist art that does not seek to dominate the world, but rather to achieve longevity and immortality.

Whether it can truly prolong life is still unknown, because both the Grand Eunuch and the Joyful Taoist died tragically before reaching the age of fifty.

But it does indeed have the effect of keeping you young and healthy, just like Mingyu Gong, making even an elderly woman with a rosy complexion.

With constant practice, when the flow of Yin and Yang becomes effortless, internal energy will circulate on its own, endlessly regenerating like rivers and seas.

"This is indeed a top-notch internal energy cultivation method!"

After listening to Jin Xueyi's ramblings, An Qingwan couldn't help but admire her.

That Grand Eunuch was capable of creating such an internal energy cultivation method, which shows he was already a celestial being. It's just a pity that he died at the hands of the Joyful Taoist.

If he had lived a few more years, the martial arts world would probably have gained another grandmaster.

After obtaining the manual, An Qingwan went to Moyu Valley again.

On the surface, she was going to return the hidden weapon craftsman who had been kidnapped by Huanxi Daoren and rescued from Qingcheng Mountain to Moyu Valley, but in reality, she was going to support Gongsun Hongdie.

After the deaths of Gongsun Yang, Zhou Ze, and others, Moyu Valley was in complete chaos, and the Gongsun and Zhou families completely separated.

Gongsun Hongdie is nominally the Valley Master of Moyu Valley, but many people in private are unwilling to submit to her.

With An Qingwan's departure and Gongsun Hongdie's own improved strength, it shouldn't be difficult for her to completely subdue the people of Moyu Valley in the future.

"Miss Gongsun has become the Valley Master of Moyu Valley at such a young age, she is truly amazing!" Jin Xueyi's beautiful eyes sparkled.

An Qingwan smiled and said, "Miss Jin is not bad either. In the past two months, the Su family's business has been booming under your management. Miss Jin may become the richest person in the world in the future."

Jin Xueyi blushed slightly: "It's not as good as you say, Miss An. I'm just a hands-off manager. The business has grown so much because of your close relationship with the Canal Gang and the Liangjiang Gang. In short, Miss An, if you need to spend money, just come to me. My money is your money!"

Lan Xiaogu puffed out her cheeks.

What are you talking about? The person who should be the richest man in the world is clearly me, Lan Xiaogu!

Besides, what's so great about Gongsun Hongdie? She's just inherited her father's business. You just wait, I'll start from scratch and become even more successful than her!

Lan Xiaogu's eyes darted around as she plotted how to outdo Gongsun Hongdie.

An Qingwan stopped talking and continued eating and drinking while reviewing the spoils from the battle at Qingcheng Mountain.

Of all the martial arts techniques she acquired this time, only one was her favorite—

The Divine Needle Without Form.

The Formless Divine Needle, also known as the Immortal Hedgehog Skill, is an extremely difficult skill to master. Once mastered, it allows one to unleash internal energy from all the acupoints on the body, transforming it into invisible needles to injure others.

However, although it is called "needle-dissolving," it can actually dissolve needles of varying thicknesses and textures.

As the saying goes, "the curves and straight lines are as desired, and changes are at the heart's command." The formless divine needle can transform into a needle to injure people, or it can transform into a rope to trap them.

This martial art originally consumed a lot of internal energy, but An Qingwan had no shortage of internal energy. With this, she could shoot out invisible sword energy from any acupoint on her body with a simple gesture, which greatly enhanced her strength.

Just as An Qingwan was savoring the wonders of the Formless Divine Needle, a person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.

The man was dressed in a magnificent robe, adorned with gold and jade, and exuded an air of grandeur that inspired awe in all who glanced at him.

He looks fine in every way, except that he is missing his right arm.

He stood at the door for a moment, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, strode into the shop.

The restaurant fell silent for a moment.

Finally, he stopped in front of An Qingwan.

"you are?"

"I am Yu Shen, the owner of Tingyun Manor and the father of Sanchi."

P.S.: Thanks to Silent Gray Can for the blade.
