Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 276: Give and Take
"Senior Brother Xiao!"

As the green sword light shot straight into the sky, Lin Yuanqing, who was stunned by the situation, came to his senses and jumped up to stop it after hearing Nong Jiang's message.

Thousands of sword shadows changed direction and surrounded Xiao Jingyuan's green sword light, making it impossible for any escape.

Nong Jiang did not stop him anymore, and rushed straight towards Chen Mu with the flash of the Qi Jue sword.

Although there are many changes this time, everything happens in a flash.

Chen Mu's eyes flickered and he sneered in his heart.

Looking at the increasingly approaching Qi Jue sword light, he threw the slightly trembling three-foot-long sword again, and it once again turned into a water-colored rain thread to meet the challenge.

"clang!"

A resounding sound was heard, and the Peach Garden suddenly flashed with dazzling light. Half of it was the aqua blue light of the rain sword, and the other half was the pale light of Nong Jiang's Seven Absolute Swords...

"call out!"

In a moment, the two flying swords collided and returned, the light of the Seven Absolute Swords slowly dissipated, and the water-colored long sword also spun erratically.

Seeing this, everyone looked surprised, and seemed quite surprised by what was happening.

"This person... can actually compete with Master Nong. Could it be that he has hidden his realm?"

"Master Nong's Seven Absolute Sword Light carries a sense of desolation that annihilates everything, but this senior's Rain Silk Sword Light has a sense of endless life. In a fight between the two, neither will be easily defeated!"

"Why did Master Nong take action? Isn't this destroying the reputation of our sect?"

……

A group of disciples were talking at once, discussing the situation here.

At the same time, mist rose from Chen Mu's body, and his spiritual energy emanated. His entire figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already holding the three-foot-long sword that was spinning non-stop in his hand.

"disease!"

He growled in his heart, used the sword to control his body, and slashed towards Nong Jiang in front of him at an incredible speed.

Nong Jiang was horrified and his spiritual sense could not lock onto Chen Mu's figure. He only felt a ghostly figure passing by, as if he was a natural assassin.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this!"

Nong Jiang was caught off guard and could only swing out several sword lights to try to stop Chen Mu for a moment.

But who would have thought that the ghostly figure would flicker quietly and then suddenly disappear.

"not good!"

Nong Jiang was experienced in fighting, and although he had not noticed Chen Mu's true location, he seemed to have a feeling in his heart that something was wrong.

As expected, a sharp sword light flashed in the blink of an eye, sweeping across his body. Judging from the momentum, if he was really cut by the sword light, he would lose an arm if not die...

At the critical moment, a hint of cruelty flashed in Nong Jiang's eyes, and his right hand suddenly stretched out and pulled. With a "clang" sound of the sword, the top-grade spiritual sword Qi Jue Sword was truly unsheathed, barely blocking Chen Mu's killing sword.

"You're so proud of yourself for forcing me to draw the Seven Swords..."

Nong Jiang murmured sinisterly. He had been cultivating his sword like this for nearly ten years. He once said that he would not draw his sword unless he met a strong enemy. But who would have thought that he would be forced out by a junior who had just entered the early stage of foundation building.

The blade of the Seven Absolute Sword is pale and eerie, but it is an extremely simple sword made of bones.

Although it seemed ordinary, the reactions of the disciples were real. They showed fear in their eyes and looked dazed, as if they had remembered the former glory of the Seven Absolute Swords.

"Shh!"

With a slight sound, Nong Jiang swung his sword and slashed. The action was simple, but it gave people a feeling of oppression.

Chen Mu felt even worse, feeling that the energy around him was suppressed by the sword light and stopped flowing. "Is this... a top-grade spiritual sword?"

He secretly sighed in his heart, and the Taoist foundation in his body suddenly exploded, and some golden lines faintly appeared on the water-colored sword.

"Senior brother, no!"

Xiao Jingyuan, who had escaped Lin Yuanqing's clutches, was horrified upon seeing this. If the Seven Absolute Sword Master's full-strength attack could truly kill Chen Mu, Shui Yunjian would not let it go...

"Ding……"

Perhaps it was because of Xiao Jingyuan's shout that the Qi Jue Sword, which was about to chop down, suddenly stopped, and the sweeping sense of extinction also dissipated, as if it had never appeared at all.

"What's going on? Could it be that Master Nong has lost all compassion and is ready to stop?"

"Master Nong should have done this long ago. If this matter were to get out, I wonder how Jiange would be able to maintain its dignity..."

……

The Qi Condensation disciples were confused and started communicating with slightly frowned brows.

Nong Jiang, the instigator, knew it clearly. He raised his eyes and slowly looked towards the main hall of the mountain gate with an ugly expression.

"It was the master who took action!" Fairy Xianyue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and remained unmoved.

Logically speaking, the sect leader should have noticed the chaos long ago, but he only took action to stop it now. It is possible that he also had some tentative intentions in mind...

"Please come into the hall and have a chat with me, fellow Taoist."

An indistinguishable voice slowly sounded, and Chen Mu's heart moved, and he immediately rose up into the sky.

Since they have shown up to intervene, it means that it is time to end the chaos here.

Seeing this, Fairy Xian Yue and Xiao Jingyuan hurriedly followed, and finally Nong Jiang and Lin Yuanqing looked at each other and followed closely behind.

Not long after, Chen Mu and others strode into the main hall of the Wenjian Pavilion.

The hall is simple and natural, with very few ornaments, only a few jade chairs and many cushions. On both sides are hung many flying swords of various shapes as decoration.

Chen Mu immediately spotted the head of the Sword-Wen Pavilion sitting in the center of the hall.

He was wearing a grey robe and a wooden hairpin, had a straight face, and his eyes were bright and sharp. He exuded an inexplicable sharpness from head to toe, as if the person standing there was not a cultivator, but a sword drawn from its sheath.

Chen Mu had heard rumors about this man, named Zhou Lang. When he was young, his talent was discovered by the previous head of the Sword-Wen Pavilion and he was trained until seventy years ago when he took over the position of head... Now he is one of the best cultivators in the Zhao Kingdom who has reached the perfect foundation.

"We greet the head brother..." Nong Jiang and others bowed in unison.

"Please sit down." Zhou Lang smiled slightly, his sharp aura mostly gone. "Fellow Daoist Chen, please sit down too."

After Chen Mu bowed and thanked him, he did not say anything polite and directly chose a jade chair to sit on.

Zhou Lang remained calm upon seeing this and said softly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Fellow Daoist Chen... Junior Brother Nong has a strange personality. He only cares about the sect but not about the greater good. Fellow Daoist, please don't take him to heart."

When these words were spoken, Nong Jiang's face turned extremely ugly, but he did not say anything in response. He just lowered his head and remained silent.

Chen Mu sneered in his heart. Such a chaotic situation could be easily overturned by the words of a person with a strange temper?
If he were a casual cultivator, it would be fine, but he is a member of Shuiyunjian Sect. Even if he doesn't care much, his own leader will not easily give up this opportunity...

"Master, Senior Brother Nong has no taboos and is arrogant. This is not the first or second time that he has interfered with my junior sister's weapon refining. I hope that Master can punish him severely. This will also reassure the hearts of the sect!"

Fairy Xian Yue kept making delicate sounds, not giving Nong Jiang any face at all, and it was obvious that she had been harboring resentment for a long time.

Hearing this, Zhou Lang nodded in agreement and said, "Junior Brother Nong has violated the rules repeatedly and must be severely punished..."
