Most of the top sects weren't willing to build their sects in bustling areas because it would affect cultivation and it wasn't a good location.
Therefore, most of the sects were located in the middle of famous mountains and rivers, which were rather remote.
However, the location of Windcloud Sword Mound was unusually off. It didn't look like it was in the mountains, but deep in the forest of Ze Country.
Looking from afar, Emperor Chen Qingdi and Chu Xiu could already see the appearance of the Windcloud Sword Mound. It wasn't glorious or majestic. Instead, it was surrounded by trees and buildings, like a huge burial mound.
Chenqing Di sneered, "Sword Mound, Sword Mound, it sounds nice, but isn't it just a place to bury people? Don't they like to watch over graves? Fine, today I'll make them pay for it themselves! "
Chenqing Di's domineering side was common, but it was rare to see him like this, filled with rage and murderous intent. Obviously, he couldn't wait to punch the people from Windcloud Sword Mound into their graves.
When Chenqing Di and Chu Xiu arrived, they didn't see the people from Windcloud Sword Mound, but they saw many people from other sects.
Shen Baochen from Forgetting Sword Hut, Old Ancestor from Shangshui Ying Clan, Ling Yunzi from Chunyang Dao Sect, Lu Changliu from Zhen Wu Cult, and even the Old Celestial Master came down with the help of Senior Qing from Longhu Mountain. Of course, Senior Qing looked even older than the Old Celestial Master. He didn't look like a Taoist child of the Old Celestial Master, but more like an elder.
Many of the remaining sects came, especially those from West Chu. Ye Shaonan was in seclusion, but East Emperor Taiyi came. Even the West Chu royal family sent people over, standing behind the crowd in a low-key manner.
Chu Xiu looked at the people present and smiled insincerely, "Are you all here to watch the show?"
Chu Xiu's prestige was still there, and no one dared to make a sound.
Lu Changliu was the only one who sighed. "Cult Master Chu, we'd like to see if we can solve this in a different way.
After all, revenge breeds revenge, when will there ever be an end to it? Windcloud Sword Tomb and the World Alliance just because of a small quarrel back then, which couldn't even be considered as a grudge, they actually ended up in such a state. It was truly not worth it.
In recent years, the Jianghu has been turbulent, and there have been several big battles. This time, it's best not to fight if we can avoid it. "
The others looked at Lu Changliu with a strange expression.
This person had gone into seclusion many years ago. Now, he had also reached the Mysterious Realm of Heaven and Earth. However, it seemed that his brain had become stiff after being in seclusion. How could he still dare to persuade Chu Xiu?
In the past, when Chu Xiu wanted to annihilate Subodhi Zen Monastery, Ying Family's Patriarch and the others went to Kunlun to persuade Chu Xiu. In the end, they were all scolded badly by Chu Xiu and left with their tails between their legs.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Changliu would do the same, Chu Xiu calmly explained to Lu Changliu.
"Sect Master Lu's words are incorrect. You've also said that this matter was caused by an insignificant quarrel. So why are you pursuing this quarrel and not letting it go?
It's not Chenqing Di, it's Windcloud Sword Tomb!
Also, Yan Zhi attacked the Nanman branch of the Holy Sect. I haven't settled the score with him yet.
I, Chu Xiu, am a reasonable person. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. Of course, the main character today isn't me, but Alliance Master Chen.
Sect Master Lu, it's useless even if you persuade me. Can you persuade Alliance Master Chen? "
When the crowd saw this scene, they were all astonished. Since when did Chu Xiu's temper become so good? He actually calmly explained things to Lu Changliu.
Of course, Chu Xiu wouldn't admit that he was afraid of Ning Xuanji.
In the Central Province, Ning Xuanji had opened a back door for him. This was a favor, and he had to return it no matter what.
On the Daluotian side, Chu Xiu had no chance to return the favor to Ning Xuanji. So here, he could only return the favor to his disciples and grand-disciples.
Lu Changliu silently glanced at Chenqing Di and sighed. He didn't continue to persuade him.
Chu Xiu still looked calm, but on Chenqing Di's side, as long as one wasn't blind, one could feel the powerful killing intent from Chenqing Di. It was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
When Chenqing Di put on an unapproachable look, Lu Changliu knew that he was determined to fight with Storm Sword Tomb. No one could persuade him.
Looking at the Storm Sword Mound, Emperor Chen Qing took a step forward. The powerful force instantly shook the earth, as if an earth dragon was turning over. That powerful force made everyone's expression change.
"Little bastards of Storm Sword Tomb, come out and die!"
At this moment, a thunderous roar caused the sky to change color. In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Chu Xiu raised his head and looked at the sky. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Chenqing Di didn't break through in the Central Province. No one knew where the peak of his path was.
However, after the trip to the Central Province, his strength had obviously improved.
Although Chenqing Di wasn't a Martial Immortal yet, his strength had reached a level where he could affect a portion of the power of rules.
Within Storm Sword Tomb, the roar of a dragon and the cry of a sword resounded.
The black dragon sword intent slashed through the sky, instantly shattering the dark clouds.
Yan Zhi stepped on the air. Sword energy surrounded his body and stirred the rules, causing the surrounding void to tremble.
The Ying Family's Patriarch and the others looked at Yan Zhi with astonishment.
Previously, they were still puzzled. They didn't know why Yan Zhi would suddenly attack the World Alliance. He even dared to attack the Kunlun Devil Cult's branch palace.
Now, they finally understood. Yan Zhi had actually taken the final step that they yearned for day and night!
All the cultivators in the lower realm who had reached the Heaven and Earth Profound Understanding Realm wanted to take that final step.
The only difference was that some people gave up when they saw that there was no path in front of them.
There were also some people like Ye Shaonan. Even if they knew that their future was bleak, as long as they had a chance, they would walk to the end.
If they knew that Yan Zhi had taken this step, they would have come here first. No matter what price they had to pay, they had to ask Yan Zhi how he had taken this step.
But now, whether it was Yan Zhi or Chenqing Di, both sides clearly had no intention of listening to their words.
Staring at Chenqing Di, Yan Zhi said coldly, "I thought you would be so afraid that you wouldn't dare to show up. I didn't expect that I had underestimated you.
Back then, you were here. You smashed my Storm Sword Tomb's formation with one punch and trampled on my Storm Sword Tomb's dignity.
You heavily injured the Patriarch with one punch, causing him to pass away a year later.
It can be said that without you, I wouldn't have reached my current realm.
Without your actions, the World Alliance wouldn't have been destroyed.
Chenqing Di, do you regret that you were so merciless when you attacked back then? "
Chenqing Di nodded and said emotionlessly, "I do regret it."
Everyone was taken aback. Did Chenqing Di admit defeat?
That shouldn't be the case. With their understanding of Chenqing Di, even if he had truly taken a step to the peak and entered the Martial Immortal realm, with Chenqing Di's personality, he wouldn't admit defeat so easily.
Then, Chenqing Di suddenly raised his head. His face was distorted by rage and murderous intent.
"I regret that I didn't punch that old bastard to death back then. Why didn't I send all of you bastards from the Storm Sword Tomb to heaven?!"
As Emperor Chen Qingdi's voice fell, his fist suddenly smashed down. However, this punch was like a falling meteorite, making a deafening explosion. The space trembled, and the Primordial Qi in the air even exploded and dissipated in an instant.
Yan Zhi's expression finally changed when he saw how powerful Chenqing Di's punch was.
After refining the power of the Sword Soul and stepping into the Martial Immortal realm, Yan Zhi actually didn't notice that he felt like a lonely expert. It was a feeling of emptiness brought about by the sudden increase in his power and the fact that he had never seen truly powerful power.
So, whether it was against the World Alliance or against Chu Wuji, Yan Zhi didn't actually use his full strength. He simply used his strength to crush them. Perhaps in his eyes, those people were no longer worthy of him using his full strength.
That was why Chu Wuji said that he was a frog at the bottom of a well. He had obtained the power of the Martial Immortal realm, but he didn't have the mental state that a Martial Immortal should have.
In the history of the Jianghu, even in the lower realms, there would always be one or two people in every generation who relied on outstanding talent and perseverance to step into the Martial Immortal realm.
However, what they gave up was far more than Yan Zhi, who took a shortcut.
Regardless of whether it was Ye Shaonan or the old Celestial Master who stepped into the Martial Immortal realm, it was likely that their mental state was much more stable than Yan Zhi's.
So, when Yan Zhi saw the power of Chenqing Di's punch, even though he wasn't a Martial Immortal, his power was close to that of a Martial Immortal. However, Yan Zhi didn't feel the excitement of encountering a worthy opponent. Instead, he felt a bit panicked, as if something that belonged to him had been snatched away.
The next moment, Yan Zhi tapped between his eyebrows. Black light flowed and a black longsword appeared from between his eyebrows.
The black longsword was in the shape of a dragon. The hilt was the head of a dragon, the body of the sword was the body of a dragon, and the tip of the sword was the tail of a dragon.
This was a longsword formed by the Sword Soul. The sword intent it exuded was so dense that no divine weapon would be able to contain it.
As the sword stabbed forward, the sound of the sword and the dragon's roar resounded through the sky. The surrounding Spiritual Energy began to distort, transforming into boundless sword aura that instantly enveloped Chenqing Di!
A series of sword cries and explosions rang out. Not a single figure could be seen in the sky, only boundless Sword Qi.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Even they had to expend a lot of effort to block Yan Zhi's attack. However, the might of the countless sword auras condensing and taking the final step … Was it really that terrifying?
Chu Xiu stood with his hands behind his back. There wasn't the slightest bit of worry in his eyes.
Chenqing Di's strength was already enough to defeat a Half-step Martial Immortal. And now, even if he were to face a real Martial Immortal, Chu Xiu was still confident in him.
Moreover, even though he didn't know how Yan Zhi reached the Martial Immortal realm, he could feel that Yan Zhi's aura was a bit unstable, as if he hadn't completely understood the realm.
