After an unknown amount of time, Gu Sheng was awakened by the burning sensation on his cheek. He opened his eyes and saw Ling Xiao wiping the blood off his face with his bloody sleeve.

"Ahem. You're such a ruthless person!"

Gu Sheng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and his left cheek felt burning with pain.

Staring at Ling Xiao who was three steps away, this guy was shaking his wrist with a smirk on his face that made him want a beating.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, you woke up pretty quickly. I guess I didn't slap you hard enough."

Gu Sheng was about to explode when his pupils suddenly shrank.

Only then did he notice the surrounding scenery.

The original canyon has turned into a huge pit with a diameter of hundreds of feet. The mountain walls on both sides have been flattened, and the ground is covered with smoking gravel.

Only the cracked ancient reincarnation bell stood in the center of the ruins.

"Is this caused by that sword energy?"

Gu Sheng's voice trembled.

I clearly remember the terrifying sword light I saw before I fell into a coma. It was definitely a power beyond that of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ling Xiao kicked away a charred stone at his feet.

“What else? Those old immortals in the sword tomb can’t rest in peace even after death.” As he spoke, he suddenly moved closer and lowered his voice.

"By the way, where did you get this broken clock? It can actually withstand the sword energy of annihilation."

Gu Sheng's heart was filled with alarm. The Ancient Samsara Bell was his biggest secret, and even his master didn't know the details.

He took a half step back calmly.

"It's a family heirloom. But you."

His eyes swept over Ling Xiao's intact robe.

"Withstanding the aftermath of the sword energy and remaining unscathed?"

"Hey, I'm a tough guy."

Ling Xiao blinked and suddenly pointed into the distance.

"Look! The old monk's bones!"

Following the instructions, Gu Sheng saw the golden Buddha bones half buried in the soil, emitting a faint golden light.

The soil around the Buddha's bones is cracked in the shape of a lotus, as if an invisible force is protecting it.

Gu Sheng walked closer to take a closer look, and suddenly his whole body was shocked.

There was a green jade ring on the ring finger of the Buddha's right hand, which was resonating with something in his arms.

He hurriedly pressed his chest - where the bronze key given to him by his master before his death was hidden.

"Why are you dazed?"

Ling Xiao's voice came from behind.

"Hurry up, the real boss is coming out!"

A shocking sound of sword was heard in the distance, and the two men turned their heads at the same time.

Deep in Wangui Ridge, a blue beam of light penetrated the sky and the earth, and a long sword with an ancient shape was suspended in the beam of light.

The sword body is as crystal clear as ice, and you can vaguely see stars flowing inside.

The shadows of the sun and the moon surround the hilt of the sword, and every rotation creates ripples in space.

"The sun and the moon shine together, and the sword energy soars to the sky"

Ling Xiao rarely showed a solemn expression.

"It is indeed the legendary 'Taixu Divine Sword'."

Gu Sheng's heartbeat quickened.

The sharp aura emitted by the sword actually resonated with the "Xuan Tian Gang Qi" he practiced.

The true energy in his body began to boil uncontrollably, and blue lines of the same color as the sword light appeared on the surface of his skin.

"what?"

Ling Xiao noticed the abnormality keenly.

"Interesting, Taixu Sword Qi actually recognized you."

"What do you mean?"

Gu Sheng suppressed the restlessness in his body.

Ling Xiao did not answer, but suddenly made some hand gestures and chanted a spell.

A golden light flew out from his sleeve and unfolded into the shadow of a map in the air.

"Oh no! At least thirty auras are approaching, and the closest one is less than a hundred miles away from us."

Gu Sheng's face suddenly changed.

Now that the injury has not healed, if I meet my enemy
"Scared?"

Ling Xiao put away the map and grinned.

"Don't worry, they are mainly here for the Taixu Sword. However."

He glanced at Gu Sheng meaningfully.

"If any remnants of Xuantian Sect pass by."

"Shut up!"

Gu Sheng suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao by the collar.

"If you mention Xuantian Sect again, I will kill you first!"

Ling Xiao calmly slapped his hand away.

"Save your energy. You can't even kill a chicken now." He threw a small jade bottle over.

"Three turns back to Yuan Dan, count it as my investment."

Gu Sheng took the jade bottle, and his suspicion grew even more.

The Third-turn Huiyuan Pill is a healing elixir that even Nascent Soul stage people are jealous of, and this guy just gave it away?
He sniffed it carefully and swallowed one only after making sure it was non-toxic.

The moment the drug took effect, Gu Sheng groaned.

The surging spiritual energy washed over the meridians, and the injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What’s even more amazing is that the blue lines inside the body became clearer and clearer, forming a mysterious sword-shaped totem on the surface of the skin.

Ling Xiao watched with his arms folded and suddenly said.

"You are practicing the Xuantian Sword Body, right?"

Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"How did you-"

"Never mind how I know."

Ling Xiao interrupted him and pointed at the Taixu Divine Sword.

"That thing is the natal sword of the Xuantian Patriarch. It has been silent for three hundred years and suddenly appeared in the world, and it has a sense of you again."

"A coincidence or not?"

Gu Sheng's heart was shocked.

Before his death, Master did say that the true inheritance of Xuantian Sect is in Wangui Ridge. Could he be referring to this sword?

"boom!"

Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance.

The two turned their heads and saw that there were already several figures fighting around the light column where the Taixu Divine Sword was. The lights of various magic weapons intertwined, and screams were heard from time to time.

"here we go."

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"The first ones to arrive are the old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage. The old immortals in the Spiritualization stage should show up soon."

Gu Sheng clenched his fists.

With his current strength, getting involved in a fight of this level would be courting death.

But the increasingly strong resonance of sword intent in his body made him unwilling to give up.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Ling Xiao suddenly made the decision.

"Walk!

"It seems that news spreads faster than expected."

Gu Sheng stood on the edge of a cliff, his eyes sweeping across the flashing lights in the distant sky.

Those were cultivators who had rushed over after hearing the news. Some rode on flying swords, some rode on exotic beasts, and some even tore through the void to come here.

Ling Xiao stood beside him.

"You've gone a little overboard this time, Gu Sheng."

Gu Sheng's lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"If I don't play big, how can I be worthy of those who care about me?"

A stream of green light streaked across the sky, so fast that it left a series of sonic booms in the air.

It was a young man in a green robe, standing on a emerald green sword with fine lightning wrapped around the sword.

"The fierce wind from Qinghe Holy Land."

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"He is one of the best core disciples. It is said that he has already cultivated the 'Blue Thunder Sword Technique' to the seventh level."

Gu Sheng did not respond, but just silently watched the light getting closer and closer.

I can feel the sharp sword intent emanating from the other party, which is clearly revealed.

"He's not the only one."

Gu Sheng suddenly said.

Sure enough, a red cloud appeared in the eastern sky. Looking closely, it turned out to be a woman in red walking in the air.

The whip in her hand twisted, leaving a burning mark in the air with every swing.

"Yan Ji from Burning Sky Valley."

Ling Xiao said softly.

"Her 'Red Whip Technique' is said to be able to melt gold and fossils."

A tiger roar was heard from the west, causing rocks to roll down.

A white-haired old man was riding a giant snow-white tiger and walking in the air. Every time the white tiger took a step, the void trembled.

"The ancestor of the Bai family in the Northern Territory actually came out in person."

There was more solemnity in Ling Xiao's voice.

Gu Sheng's eyes flickered. "It seems that the attraction of this sword is greater than I imagined."

Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the south, and dozens of monks in uniform flew over, each holding a magic weapon in their hands.

"All the elites of Luo Tian Sect have come out."

Ling Xiao snorted.

"What a bunch of hypocrites."

The last thing that appeared was a lonely figure.

He was a burly man, carrying a huge battle axe on his back, stepping into the void one step at a time.

He didn't fly a sword or control any magic weapon, he just walked in the sky relying purely on his physical strength.

"Lin Batian."

Gu Sheng's voice was low.

"He is indeed here."

Ling Xiao glanced at Gu Sheng.

"you know?"

"heard about it."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"A loner madman. It is said that he once went into the depths of the Demonic Abyss alone to hone his combat skills and fought monsters for three years."

Ling Xiao was a little surprised.

“Then he came this time.”

"To fight me."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"This kind of person is only interested in the strong."

Ling Xiao was about to say something when he suddenly frowned.

"Your disguise."

Gu Sheng then remembered something and took out a silver mask from his storage ring and put it on his face.

As the mask covered his face, his aura suddenly changed, from being fierce and domineering to becoming cold and strange, and even his figure seemed a little blurred.

"No one should be able to recognize me this way."

Gu Sheng's voice also became hoarse and difficult to understand from behind the mask.

Ling Xiao suddenly laughed.

"In my eyes, you are still that Gu Sheng."

Gu Sheng's body stiffened and he turned his head sharply to look at her.

"Can you recognize me?"

"of course."

Ling Xiao blinked.

"Do you think a broken mask can deceive my eyes?"

Gu Sheng grabbed her wrist, his voice filled with rare urgency.

"This is not a joke, Ling Xiao. If even you can recognize me at a glance, then what's the point of this disguise?"

Ling Xiao was startled by his sudden action.

"Relax, great master. Not everyone has my ability."

"Then how did you do it?"

Gu Sheng stared into her eyes.

“This is about my life.”

Ling Xiao saw Gu Sheng frowning and chuckled.

"What, are you scared?"

Gu Sheng stroked the edge of the mask with his fingertips, his voice low.

"Can this mask really deceive the elders of the Holy Land?"

"Unless the Holy Lord himself comes, no one can see through it."

The two continued to move forward. The evil spirit outside Wangui Ridge became stronger and stronger, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and blood.

Suddenly, there were bursts of breaking sounds in the distance, and countless streams of light fell and hit the ground.

"It seems that news spreads faster than expected."

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"These people are all here for the sword."

Ling Xiao sneered.

"A bunch of guys who don't know how to live or die."

A terrifying aura suddenly descended, causing the air around it to stagnate for a moment.

Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao looked up at the same time, and saw a white figure walking in the air, stepping on a giant snow-white tiger with bloodshot eyes and sharp fangs. With every step it took, the void trembled slightly.

"White Tiger?"

Gu Sheng's pupils shrank slightly.

"Could it be the legendary white tiger beast?"

Ling Xiao shook his head.

"Impossible. The white tiger has long been extinct. Although this white tiger is ferocious, it is at most a species with a rare bloodline of a divine beast."

The old man was riding on the back of a white tiger. Seeing that no one was trying to stop him, he rode the tiger directly into the depths.

His spiritual power exploded wantonly, testing the restrictions of Wangui Ridge, but he had a smooth journey.

"It seems that the killing array of Wangui Ridge has really been destroyed."

Ling Xiao whispered.

Gu Sheng frowned.

"Something's wrong..."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
"boom--"

An invisible force suddenly descended, like the collapsing sky, instantly freezing the old man and the white tiger in mid-air!

The old man's face changed drastically, and he frantically urged his spiritual power, but found that he couldn't even move a finger!

"what happened?!"

He roared, fear in his voice.

The next second—

"call out!"

A transparent arrow broke through the air, its speed was so fast that it didn't even leave an afterimage, and it directly pierced the old man's chest!

"puff!"

Blood splattered, the old man's body was torn apart, and blood spilled, dyeing the ruins red.

The white tiger let out a shrill roar, but the second arrow followed closely and pierced its head accurately!
"boom!"

A man and a tiger, killed instantly!

Outside Wangui Ridge, Liefeng, the woman in red and others witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and their faces turned pale instantly.

"This……"

Liefeng's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"Even the ancestor of the Bai family in the Northern Territory was killed instantly?"

The woman in red, Lu Feng, was a little timid.

"Humph, a mere old man dares to get ahead? Good death!"

She snorted coldly, and took the lead to step into Wangui Ridge!
"Lv Feng!" Lie Feng shouted.

"Are you crazy?"

Lu Feng sneered without even turning his head.

"Why, the core disciples of Qinghe Holy Land don't even have this much courage?"

Liefeng's face was gloomy, but he was provoked by her and gritted his teeth to follow.

The other disciples of Qinghe Holy Land looked at each other and also stepped into Wangui Ridge cautiously.

Seeing that the people of Qinghe Holy Land were safe and sound, the strong men and independent cultivators from other forces could no longer hold back and stepped in one after another.

Gu Sheng stood on a high place in the ruins, his eyes swept over the figures of cultivators flying by in the distance, and whispered.

"That Lu Feng is not simple."

Ling Xiao chuckled.

"To dare to lead the charge after seeing the Northern Territory ancestor being killed instantly, he is either a madman or he is really confident."

“I prefer the latter.”

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"However, the chaotic aura and spiritual energy of Wangui Ridge are actually a good thing for us - it will be more difficult for the enemy to find us."

As he was speaking, there was another loud explosion in the distance, followed by a shrill scream.

Suddenly, a raging flame broke out in an area. Several cultivators didn't even have a chance to react. They were burned to ashes in an instant, and their breath completely disappeared.

"Hiss——" Gu Sheng took a breath of cold air.

"The killing array of Wangui Ridge is still in operation!"

Ling Xiao looked solemn.

"It seems that this sword is not so easy to hold."

More and more cultivators encountered unexpected events. Some were strangled by invisible forces, some fell into an abyss that suddenly opened up in the ground, and some were burned by phantom fire that appeared out of nowhere.

The crowd, which was originally aggressive, began to panic. Some of the timid ones turned around and fled, but before they ran far, they were struck into charcoal by a black lightning that fell from the sky.

"Escape? Once you're in, don't think about getting out easily."

Ling Xiao sneered.

Gu Sheng discovered that the disciples of Luo Tian Sect gathered together and formed a formation before marching forward. It was obvious that they were more confident in resisting danger than individual cultivators.

"The people chasing me may not need to expend too much strength, but even the Holy Lord would be tempted by this sword. I'm afraid they have sent more than just ordinary disciples."

"Let's go, it's time for us to leave." (End of this chapter)
