In the view of the Prince of Xiang and a few people who thought they knew the inside story, Bie Yanghong was acting as a guard for Wuqiong Bi.
After all, Chen Chang Sheng was not an ordinary person.
He was the Pope.
In order to kill a Pope, there was a high chance of encountering an extremely unexpected situation.
And to kill a Pope, one had to prevent all accidents from occurring.
For example, that knife.
Even now, no one knew whether or not the blade had come to Holy Maiden Peak. Similarly, no one knew whether or not the blade would descend from the sky without warning in the next moment and then chop down everything in the world it wanted to chop down, just like it had done in the capital by the Luo River.
…
…
Who could save him now? Chen Chang Sheng didn't think about this matter.
In Wenshui City, he knew that the blade had always been outside the city, because it had been his request.
Afterwards, when he went from Fengyang City to Holy Maiden Peak, he had been in too much of a hurry and hadn't had a chance to notify her. Ever since he found out about his fate at the age of ten, no matter how dangerous the situation was, such as the night that represented death, he was used to facing it alone.
If you entrust your fate to others, then it means that you can't control your own destiny.
He did not want to be such a person. He was not such a person.
From the beginning to the end, he placed his hopes in his own hands.
As he gazed at the lotus sea that concealed boundless danger and sensed the aura that was filled with the aura of nirvanic annihilation, he knew that he could no longer conceal his strength.
In front of an expert of the Divine Domain, any scheme or concealment would be viewed with contempt and would assuredly be punished.
His right hand was still holding onto the hilt of his sword, and the countless swords in the scabbard were ready, ready to turn into a sky full of flowing lights at any time.
His left hand was already raised, and the countless monsters in the Garden of Zhou were already prepared. At any time, they could transform into a mountain of water and charge over.
In the Garden of Zhou, Nanke had already made her preparations.
On his wrist, the Heavenly Tome Monoliths were already ready.
He believed that Zhexiu, who had not appeared this entire time, had already made his preparations.
There was also the Yellow Paper Umbrella, the Falling Star Stone, and the Orthodoxy's Divine Staff.
No one had ever seen all of Chen Chang Sheng's methods.
Even on that night in the snowy mountains, when he faced the legendary Demon Lord, he still had many techniques that he had not used.
In his original thoughts, these methods should be used on a certain elder.
Now, it seemed that he had no choice but to appear in this world ahead of time.
Even so, could he block the full-power attack of an expert of the Divine Domain?
He wasn't confident because the threshold was too high.
The heavens and earth were not confident either. Otherwise, why would there be so many people rushing over?
Are those people anxious, desperate, or prematurely grieving?
Suddenly, the world changed color.
The thick dark clouds were painted with a touch of golden light.
The gloomy sky became incomparably bright.
The forest in the mountains began to burn.
The anxious, desperate, sorrowful look was replaced by shock.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
A straight line of fire appeared in the sky.
The line of fire was very long, and it started from the side covered by the clouds.
Anyone who had come to South Stream Temple could guess that this was the summit of Holy Maiden Peak.
The line of fire extended to the cliff plateau at an unimaginable speed, looking like the burning trace of a falling meteorite.
No one had time to react. They could only see the line of fire fall on the edge of the cliff platform.
The fragments of the wutong tree that had been shattered earlier burst into flames, sending out countless sparks, light, and heat.
A pair of extremely beautiful phoenix wings fluttered in the flames!
A clear and resounding Phoenix cry resounded through the world!
An unimaginable number of sparks brimming with the Qi of life shot toward the lotus sea brimming with the aura of stillness.
Countless sword images flickered in and out of existence, rising and falling, but there was nothing strange about them. On the contrary, they seemed upright and upright, dignified and divine to the extreme.
The two Qis collided. It was like a god returning from the sea of stars had rung a massive bell. The fierce sound was transmitted to the Tong River several dozen li away.
The surface of the river surged with countless waves. The fishermen in the boats and the townspeople kneeled in fear and prayed.
On the plateau, the cultivators that were slightly closer and possessed comparatively weaker cultivations were even knocked out by the force of the collision.
After some time, the terrifying torrents of Qi gradually calmed, the burning sparks gradually extinguished, but the traces of light did not fade.
As they gazed at those still dignified and fierce sword intents in the light, those incredibly exquisite sword slashes, many people recalled a famous sight.
It was that battle on the capital's Bridge of Helplessness several years ago, that snowy battle.
Seeing that slender figure in the dust, the crowd was abnormally shocked and vaguely guessed at what had happened.
Countless sword intents in the light, only when the dust settled did they return to one sword.
It truly was the legendary Sword of Great Light!
It truly was the Holy Maiden Xu Yourong!
… …
… …
Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng stood side by side on the cliff, facing Wuqiong Bi.
Chen Changsheng gripped the Stainless Sword while Xu Yourong gripped the temple sword.
Their faces were somewhat pale, probably from injuries, but their expressions were still calm.
The plateau was absolutely silent. Everyone was shocked speechless, not daring to believe their eyes. They felt that what they were seeing was not real.
The Holy Maiden had come out of seclusion early!
Did she not know how great of a price she would have to pay? Could this possibly bring irreversible harm to her cultivation? The crowd turned to Chen Changsheng and guessed at the reason she had come out early. Only now did they realize that those rumors were true. They couldn't help but feel extremely complicated. There was some envy, some yearning, but most of all jealousy.
Of course, there was also another possibility: Xu Yourong had already entered the Divine Domain, so she had come out of seclusion. The problem was, who could accomplish this in two short years? Chen Xuanba could not, Emperor Taizong could not, Wang Zhice could not, and not even Zhou Dufu could.
The facts proved that Xu Yourong truly had not succeeded. As the light gradually dimmed, the Qi she exuded became increasingly clear. Although it was holy and profound, it was still an insurmountable distance from that threshold. If this was the case, how could she possibly block the full-force attack of an expert of the Divine Domain?
This was the matter that shocked the crowd the most.
The one most shocked was Wuqiong Bi, because she was the one involved.
She looked at Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng standing side by side, her face slightly pale and her eyes extremely deep.
The temple sword truly was formidable, hiding boundless sword intent in boundless light. Purely in terms of technique, it could be called the world's most formidable sword style.
But if this was all, Xu Yourong would simply not have been able to block her full-force attack.
Under the crushing pressure of absolute cultivation levels, even the most exquisite sword style was meaningless.
But just when she was prepared to use the Dao of Silent Extinction in the lotus sea to suppress her opponent, another sword intent had entered the battle.
It was naturally Chen Changsheng's sword.
As Chen Changsheng's sword intent entered, Xu Yourong's Sword of Great Light actually became even more mellow and perfect.
It was to the extent that when she swung the temple sword, it faintly seemed to exude a divine aura!
What made her even more shocked and uneasy was that the sword energy of the Sword of Great Light suddenly exploded, becoming several times stronger!
