Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of the wilderness, silently waiting.
If the one who stole the Inventory Bag was Shifu, then as soon as Shifu finds out about the things of Bai Hua sect in the Inventory Bag, she would quickly return to find me.
Just as I thought.
In just 20 breaths' worth of time, intense winds descended from above, sucking up all the sand on the ground and gathering them together, slowly forming the shape of a woman.
Layers of light flashed as the woman's appearance became clear.
She wore a white feather dress, a jade crown on her head, her appearance peerless.
Her eyes carried a sense of transcendent elegance, her eyes were as clear as the moon in an autumn pond.
Xie Dao Ling.
She tossed the large jade brick in front of Gu Qing Shan and casually asked: "Where did you get this jade tag?"
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
"When I first arrived at Shen Wu world, I asked second brother for a few scriptures, he gave it to me"
He then clasped his fist and praised: "Shifu, now that you can manifest your true form from sand and stone, your techniques are beyond my imagination"
Xie Dao Ling silently stared at him, then asked: "So you are Gu Qing Shan? Why do you look like this? "
Gu Qing Shan then explained everything from the beginning to the end.
Xie Dao Ling pondered as she listened, then slowly spoke: "What you said is flawless, but the last time I left Shen Wu world to go to the cultivation alliance, someone pretended to be Gu Qing Shan and infiltrated our Bai Hua sect. Xiao Lou and the others were too relaxed and were almost killed by that person, it was fortunate that Qing Rou and Wan Er were quick witted and managed to escape unscathed"
Gu Qing Shan spoke: "Then …"
Xie Dao Ling continued: "Swordsmanship is the spirit and spirit of a sword cultivator, humans can be faked, but swordsmanship cannot, so you need to prove to me that you are the real Gu Qing Shan"
Gu Qing Shan then drew the Earth sword from the void of space and sincerely spoke: "I am indebted to Shifu for taking me in, carefully teaching and protecting me, this disciple has always been grateful to you. Ever since we parted ways at the 900 million World Layers alliance, many things have changed. While this disciple has been wandering from place to place, I have often thought of Shifu. Today, I will prove myself with my swordsmanship, I hope that Shifu will not be stingy with your teachings"
Xie Dao Ling smiled and spoke gently: "Come, let your master see how much you've improved"
Gu Qing Shan cupped her fists and bowed, then suddenly disappeared.
Clang!
The sword manifested a thousand layers of frost and abruptly pierced through Xie Dao Ling's chest.
Xie Dao Ling's figure slowly disappeared.
It was an illusory figure.
Gu Qing Shan looked up, only to see Xie Dao Ling leaping into the air, her dress fluttering in the wind like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Gu Qing Shan held the Heaven sword in her hand and pointed it at the sky.
A dazzling light burst forth from the body of the sword, condensing into a giant sword shadow.
Boom!
The shadow of the sword soared, and the dust in the surroundings shook violently as if there was an earthquake.
— — Secret Art, [River Traversing Iron Sword]!
With Gu Qing Shan's current level of swordsmanship, he had already fully comprehended the [Water Flow Severance] Secret Art and created a new, even more powerful Secret Art!
The giant sword shadow flashed and appeared in front of Xie Dao Ling in the blink of an eye.
Xie Dao Ling didn't panic and swung her sleeves.
— — Divine Skill, [Sleeve Dimension]!
The giant sword shadow disappeared, unsure where Xie Dao Ling put it.
Xie Dao Ling abruptly turned around and threw a punch.
Gu Qing Shan just happened to appear there and wanted to attack, but Xie Dao Ling took the initiative and could only parry with her sword.
Bam!
The void of space shook.
Gu Qing Shan was sent crashing into the ground like a cannonball.
Xie Dao Ling stood with her hands clasped behind her back in the void of space, then felt an endless gust of wind.
"Sword wind … seems like it's a sword array"
She moaned and took out a long whip.
Sha — — - bam!
The whip lashed out with a thunderous crack.
The wind seemed to have been struck by this whip and scattered.
There was no longer any wind in the sky.
Xie Dao Ling put her whip away and slowly descended from the sky.
In front of her, Gu Qing Shan had just leapt out from the crater.
"There's no need to fight anymore. Let me ask you, do you also fight like this when you're outside?" Xie Dao Ling asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "When I'm outside, I naturally kill whoever I see, kill whatever I see"
It was now that Xie Dao Ling glared at him and said: "You're so timid in a fight, you don't look like a sword cultivator at all. It's only because your master is here that I can see your true level of swordsmanship through your sparring"
Gu Qing Shan was happy and casually replied: "It's been too long since I've seen Shifu, and my swordsmanship has improved too quickly, I'm a bit afraid of accidentally hurting Shifu"
— — -the fact that Xie Dao Ling was criticizing him like that meant that she had recognized his identity.
Xie Dao Ling commented: "Your swordsmanship has indeed surpassed the realm of Sword Saint, but what realm is it now?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "After a thousand swords, there's a single sword"
As someone of Xie Dao Ling's caliber, she understood right away: "A single sword surpasses a thousand swords, so it's the path of being able to unleash and retract your power at will. What realm would it be after that?"
"A single sword can turn into a hundred million swords, a Sword God" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xie Dao Ling thought for a bit, then praised: "A hundred million Secret Swords at once, unstoppable"
To be able to guess the path of swordsmanship through a single sentence, this is Xie Dao Ling!
Gu Qing Shan was silently impressed and smiled: "From now on, I'll be in your care, Shifu"
Neither of them mentioned anything about stealing the Inventory Bag.
Xie Dao Ling observed his appearance and scowled: "Qing Shan, your appearance is too feminine, it doesn't look like a sword cultivator"
Gu Qing Shan explained: "This is a type of power from the Technological realm, a genetic camouflage. Even Heavenly spells wouldn't be able to see through a person's original appearance, that's why I agreed to disguise myself like this"
"I've tried a few methods before, but I can't turn back"
Xie Dao Ling nodded, then said: "I want to turn you back to your original appearance, what do you think?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Of course, no problem, I'll follow Shifu's decision"
"Endure it a bit, just a bit will do"
"Yes"
Bam!
Gu Qing Shan was slapped on the face.
He touched his face. Sure enough, he had turned back.
"Thank you, Shifu" he happily said.
"Hm" Xie Dao Ling clasped her hands behind her back and said: "Xiao Lou is a disappointment, Xiu Xiu is still young, Qing Rou and Wan Er joined us later, you're the only one who has gone the farthest in Bai Hua sect, so make sure to never disguise as a man who looks like a woman again"
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Xie Dao Ling continued: "Compared to cultivation, I want the two of you to be upright and upright people, to always have a clear conscience at all times"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "I will definitely follow Shifu's example and strive to be an upright and upright sword cultivator"
Xie Dao Ling was pleased: "Hm, that's the style of our Bai Hua sect"
While they were talking, a few black dots were flying towards them from afar.
Xie Dao Ling immediately lost her previous imposing manner and said: "Qing Shan, I'll contact you later, Shifu has something to do — –"
As soon as she said so, the light from the spell around her body completely faded away, turning back into sand and pebbles that scattered on the ground.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Shifu left too quickly.
Did she receive some sort of threat?
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes and looked at the black dots flying towards them from afar.
His killing intent surged as he grabbed his sword.
…
10 minutes later.
Several cultivators were searching around Gu Qing Shan's surroundings.
They unleashed various spells and techniques, carefully searching for any traces on the ground, some even took to the air and used their inner sight to scan the void of space.
Someone was consoling Gu Qing Shan: "Fellow Dao seeker Gu, since it's come to this, you should adjust your mental state, you still have to face your Tribulation"
Gu Qing Shan awkwardly stood there, tried to hold it in but still whispered: "Everyone, don't waste your time, that thief is too fast, we really can't find him"
"Hmph!"
One of the cultivators angrily threw his weapon to the ground.
"He came and went without a trace, we really can't find him!" another cultivator sighed.
The cultivator from before looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked unwillingly: "Fellow Dao seeker Gu, did you see that thief's face clearly?"
As Gu Qing Shan was about to answer, the cultivator next to him smiled bitterly and dejectedly said: "It's useless even if he saw it clearly, that thief transformed into thousands of different forms, taking advantage of when everyone was strolling around the market square — — - which one of you didn't fall for the same trick?"
Everyone felt a bit dejected.
— — that's right, these people were all {Yama King} realm cultivators, just like Gu Qing Shan, cultivators who came to Heaven Pillar world to face their Tribulation.
It was supposed to be a Tribulation, but everyone's Inventory Bags were stolen …
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
Shifu is truly generous.
But Shifu isn't a greedy person, so why would she take their Inventory Bags?
While she was thinking, someone suddenly asked: "Fellow Dao seeker Gu, I saw that you seemed to be facing off against that person for a while, could it be that you know each other?"
Gu Qing Shan replied with a stern expression: "How could that be! Go ask around, I'm the third-ranked disciple of Bai Hua sect. Our sect is a Righteous sect that has always been open and aboveboard — — - us disciples are all righteous, stand upright, and conduct ourselves with a clear conscience at all times, we would never have anything to do with a thief like that! "
Seeing his indignant expression and recalling how his Inventory Bag had just been stolen, everyone understood his feelings, so they didn't say anything else.
Indeed.
If they knew each other, why would they steal Gu Qing Shan's things?
At this point, everyone suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky.
Only to see 7-8 Inventory Bags falling from the sky.
"My Inventory Bag!" someone called out.
Everyone waved their hands and the Inventory Bags returned to their hands.
Including Gu Qing Shan, everyone checked their Inventory Bags.
Someone doubtfully said: "Strange, nothing is missing, but my cultivation scripture jade tag seems to have been used"
