Chu Zhiyuan said, "Palace Master, there are countless great demons within Qinglian Sea. Normally, they are cowardly and do not wish to fight to the death, but when cornered, they will not just stand idly by."
Xiao Mingyue said, "They can escape; if they want to flee, they’ll manage to do so."
This will not corner them.
Furthermore, the Bright Moon Divine Sword is enough to restrain them.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Letting those great demons go might not be beneficial for the world, don’t you think?"
Xiao Mingyue chuckled lightly, "You want to annihilate them?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If our Four Sects combine forces, these great demons will have nowhere to run."
Xiao Mingyue shook her head, "Even if our Four Sects join hands, we cannot eliminate these great demons. If the great demons wish to escape, who can stop them?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Four Sects combined can’t eliminate these great demons?"
"You haven’t personally fought against the great demons, so you don’t know their might," Xiao Mingyue said. "Their specialty is hiding their vital energy, rging with the world, making them indistinguishable."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Do our Four Sects lack the treasures to capture them?"
"Your Heavenly Sword Sect’s Heavenly Sword, our Guanghan Palace’s Bright Moon Divine Sword, Guiyang Sword Sect’s Red Sun Divine Sword, and Fuyun Sect’s Flowing Cloud Divine Sword, all can suppress and kill great demons."
"Is the Palace Master planning to use the Bright Moon Divine Sword this ti?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
"Junior Sister Qi and the others are carrying the Bright Moon Divine Sword, which is sufficient."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "But the Bright Moon Divine Sword can’t be wielded too many tis, right?"
Wielding the true Bright Moon Divine Sword has almost only one or two sword strikes.
And these great demons are not just one or two.
Xiao Mingyue chuckled, "The Bright Moon Divine Sword is not just one sword; rest assured, this ti it’s fine."
Chu Zhiyuan showed a look of helplessness.
Such a character as Xiao Mingyue, how could he persuade her?
Looking at it now, Guanghan Palace is determined and will not collaborate with Heavenly Sword Sect and the other two sects in eradicating Qinglian Sea; they must act in advance.
He quickly analyzed in his mind.
Guanghan Palace doesn’t wish to unite with the other three sects due to pride and their usual principles, or is it for interests?
What great benefit is there in eradicating Qinglian Sea that makes them want to take the first step?
And let Heavenly Sword Sect try to eradicate them?
He never tends to think too highly of people; Heavenly Sword Sect and Guanghan Palace in eradicating demons are not solely for the people of the world, there are definitely their own interests involved.
Without great benefit, would one risk falling to vanquish demons? This goes against human nature and is bound not to last long. The Four Sects can sustain over ti, not rely due to reputation and virtue, but driven by interests.
Benefits granted by the Court?
Or can reputation and rit enhance the sect’s Divine Artifact? Like Heavenly Sword, like Bright Moon Divine Sword.
He imdiately said, "Palace Master, as far as we know, there are too many demons in Qinglian Sea; if only twenty or so are dispatched... it might not be enough. Last ti, we dispatched more Venerables, yet we still faced setbacks. Please reconsider, Palace Master."
Xiao Mingyue said, "It’s enough. If not, we will retreat; they can’t stop us."
Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Since that’s the case, may I join and act together with the Senior Sisters?"
"You—?" Xiao Mingyue scrutinized him.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "I am now at Venerable Third Transition, much stronger than before."
Xiao Mingyue gazed at his face, softly saying, "You seem quite keen on dealing with demons."
Chu Zhiyuan solemnly nodded, "I bear the Demon Suppressing Saber, naturally making it my duty to vanquish demons from the world, not allowing them to harm innocent people!"
Xiao Mingyue’s eyes flickered, gently she said, "Does the Demon Suppressing Saber require such a ntal state?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Without such determination, the Demon Suppressing Saber is hard to wield."
"No wonder..." Xiao Mingyue realized, sighed softly, "The power of your Demon Suppressing Saber is marvelous. Could you show ?"
Suddenly, several streaks of clear light flew out from Chu Zhiyuan’s sleeve, shooting towards Xiao Mingyue.
Ten streaks of clear light shot towards different parts of her, forming a blockade in the air.
Xiao Mingyue curiously stared at these Flying Knives, gently waving her sleeve as they neared.
Invisible force surged, extending from her graceful form.
The ten Flying Knives suddenly halted in midair, seemingly plunging into stone.
Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze flickered.
The ten Flying Knives suddenly glowed with golden light.
The next mont, they pressed forward again, entering a range of one foot around Xiao Mingyue.
Within the foot range, they abruptly halted once more, motionless.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
The ten Flying Knives changed direction, returning back to his sleeve like swallows returning to the forest.
Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fist: "Impressive."
Xiao Mingyue’s cultivation is indeed profound, though uncertain if she has reached Spirit Venerable.
But she should not be inferior to a Nine Transitions Venerable; coupled with the Bright Moon Divine Sword, she’s even more formidable.
Is it that mastering the Bright Moon Divine Sword, or the Heavenly Sword, enables one to step into Spirit Venerable?
Or does one need to beco Spirit Venerable first to master the Heavenly Sword or the Bright Moon Divine Sword?
His thoughts flew swiftly, concluding one should attain the Heavenly Sword or Bright Moon Divine Sword before stepping into Spirit Venerable.
He understood this is rely his speculation; fundantally, Xiao Mingyue and Lu Wanshan might not achieve Spirit Venerable.
Regardless, the Heavenly Sword must be grasped; the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sword Sect must be contended for.
Therefore, he must build sufficient rits and possess adequate cultivation and prestige.
Hence, no matter what, he must strive to join the action of Guanghan Palace this ti.
Xiao Mingyue looked at Chu Zhiyuan thoughtfully: "No wonder Junior Sister Qi and Xiao Lu praise your Demon Suppressing Saber so highly."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The power of the Demon Suppressing Saber lies in its restraint against demons. The Sword Technique itself is ineffective against humans, best for dealing with demons."
Xiao Mingyue laughed, "You, you’re too humble!"
The simultaneous deploynt of ten Flying Knives is nearly impossible to evade.
Unless with cultivation like hers, crushing with cultivation, or protected by Treasure Clothes.
Otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to avoid his Flying Knives.
Such Sword Technique being ordinary?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Joining with the disciples, if I can contribute in any small way, it’s my heartfelt intention... Last ti, without Senior Sister Qi and Senior Sister Lu’s aid, Elder Zhou and the others might not have escaped unscathed."
"..." Xiao Mingyue contemplated.
She weighed the pros and cons.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I can’t handle great demons, but dealing with demons at or below Venerable Realm is easy, saving the sisters a lot of trouble and ti."
Xiao Mingyue’s eyes flickered, nodding lightly, "That’s indeed true."
She caught the key in Chu Zhiyuan’s words—ti.
To complete the eradication before Heavenly Sword Sect, Guiyang Sword Sect, and Fuyun Sect joint alliance arrives, indeed requires seizing ti and acting ahead.
Otherwise, if they clear out halfway, struggling to advance, and the Three Sects’ allied forces arrive, it would be most frustrating and vexing.
Thinking of this, she slowly said, "Given this, you should accompany Junior Sister Qi and the others."
Chu Zhiyuan bowed, "Thank you, Palace Master!"
Xiao Mingyue waved her jade hand, "It’s who should thank you."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "It’s the Palace Master who gives the opportunity to earn rit, allowing to exchange for better treasures and spirit pills within the sect."
Xiao Mingyue said, "You act cautiously; I’m not worried, but this journey will be more perilous than before, you must be prepared."
Chu Zhiyuan instantly understood her words, smiled, "I will follow Senior Sister Qi’s commands and will not act rashly."
"Very good, go then." Xiao Mingyue nodded with satisfaction.
She found talking with Chu Zhiyuan particularly smooth, especially pleasant.
Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists, turned and exited the great hall, smiling at Lu Xiaolu standing outside.
