"Even if it ans a river of blood, even if corpses float for miles, in the face of such a peerless treasure, it’s all ordinary."
Clang!
With a crisp sound, Zhu Yuxian suddenly sheathed his sword, the sound of the sword reverberating through the heavens and earth, carried far away by the mountain wind.
"I have effortlessly obtained these three opportunities, coveted yet never seen in a lifeti by countless people in the martial world, how could I not pay a price?"
"I have long been prepared, it’s nothing more than staking this life of mine."
"As long as I’m not dead, I will not give up."
"One day, I will ascend to the Immortal Realm, shed my mortal form, and gain a body of freedom, transcending the Red Dust."
Faced with Zhu Yuxian’s calm deanor, Lu Chengfeng didn’t know what to say for a mont. Without the Gifted Talent, he would probably still be struggling at the bottom of the martial world.
If that were the case, when this White Lotus appeared before him, would he really refuse it?
Lu Chengfeng didn’t speak for a long ti, finally just sighing faintly, "Ascending to the Immortal Realm, is that truly freedom?"
Zhu Yuxian also fell silent, the two stood side by side, gazing at the Trapped Dragon Abyss, where a True Dragon lay hidden, a True Dragon capable of battling Immortals.
But it also perished here, its body suppressed.
Needless to say, Lu Chengfeng, through the Gifted Talent, had already deduced that in the past two decades, a discreet fall of an Immortal had occurred.
"As long as people exist, where is not the martial world, where is not the Red Dust?"
"An Immortal, after all, is also human!"
Lu Chengfeng sighed, saying no more.
No matter what, Zhu Yuxian’s greatest belief in this life is to beco an Immortal, and should this belief collapse, rely becoming Lu Chengfeng’s slave would be the best outco.
This matter is currently irreconcilable.
"You wield the Nanming Lihuo Sword Embryo and practice the Nanming Lihuo Sword Technique, have you sensed anything during this period? Can you discern where the disaster originates?" Lu Chengfeng took the initiative to ask.
Zhu Yuxian shook his head: "Since obtaining the White Lotus, although I have gained various opportunities and creations, and my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, it has not been without cost."
"My perception of crises is now almost nonexistent."
"Unless danger occurs right in front of , even if it’s close at hand, I can’t detect it."
Lu Chengfeng slightly frowned, "Why do I feel like this is soone deliberately blocking and obscuring your sense of danger?"
The Buddhist Sect’s manipulation and bewildernt of people’s hearts have always far surpassed other sects and traditions. To say that the Buddhist Sect possesses such Divine Techniques, he would not be surprised at all.
"Whether it is or not, it makes no substantial difference to now, as the die is cast." Zhu Yuxian turned to look at him, "The key is how do you plan to proceed?"
"If the Yuncang Sword Sect really faces a disaster like Danyang’s, apart from a very few experts, everyone else will likely die."
"And now with Xiang Qingchi blocking the mountain gate, allowing no one in or out, it is obvious they intend to completely annihilate the Yuncang Sword Sect, leaving everyone without a burial place, turning Yuncang Sword Sect into the past."
"Have you thought about what to do? How should we respond?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng felt the weight on his shoulders grow heavier. The reason he ca to Zhu Yuxian was originally to see if she could detect any clues through the Nanming Lihuo Sword Technique.
After all, if the enemy’s plot involved fire, it would be hard to evade detection by the Nanming Lihuo Sword Technique, with its fire attribute Swordsmanship and Divine Techniques.
Yet now, not only had they gleaned no insight, but in addition, they had discovered that Zhu Yuxian’s perception of danger had been obscured, which was a very ominous sign.
"Given the current situation, further delay is no longer an option; action must be taken." Lu Chengfeng spoke resolutely, "The Inner Five Peaks are the foundation of the Great Five Elents Extinction Sword Array, and unless the Grand Array is completely destroyed, and the True Dragon beneath erges, there won’t be significant risk."
"But if the enemy’s plot is centered on that True Dragon, the Inner Five Peaks would beco the most perilous area."
"And the 108 Outer Peaks, where the power of the Great Five Elents Extinction Sword Array is weakest, could easily beco the enemy’s breakthrough point if disaster strikes from outside."
"I want to find a place to gather all the disciples, so as to avoid being unable to rescue them when disaster strikes."
"This place should neither be the Inner Five Peaks suppressing the Red Dragon nor the Trapped Dragon Abyss, and the 108 Outer Peaks aren’t safe enough."
"Preferably, it should be sowhere near the Inner Five Peaks but outside of the 108 Outer Peaks..."
Zhu Yuxian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, "Why don’t you just say you want to use my Jade Immortal Peak, why beat around the bush?"
Lu Chengfeng smiled, "Master, your Jade Immortal Peak is closest to Profound Crane Peak, at the place where the power of the Great Five Elents Extinction Sword Array is strongest, convenient for the Sword Array’s protection."
"Moreover, your mountain has nurous palaces, capable of easily accommodating even a thousand people, isn’t it the best place?"
"In case of ergency, evacuation from Jade Immortal Peak to the mountains behind is swift, and they can head deeper into the Yun Cang mountain range."
Zhu Yuxian rely sighed lightly, "I, however, think this isn’t a good solution. If a calamity truly descends, those ordinary disciples will have no path but death, regardless of where they hide."
"The best solution is once and for all, kill Xiang Qingchi."
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the Nanming Lihuo Sword in her hand buzzed intensely, like a vicious Flood Dragon, ready to break out at any mont.
