I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

This voice seemed to come from the heavens above, carrying an innate arrogance and indifference, regarding all the powerful figures from the Nine Provinces continent present as mere dust.

The moment the words fell, several figures dressed in identical silver sword robes, exuding an otherworldly aura and with an undisguised arrogance between their brows, slowly emerged from the spatial rift.

Their cultivation level wasn't very high, only at the Profound Realm, but they were surrounded by a faint layer of the power of the laws of heaven and earth that didn't belong to this world, making them seem out of place in this world.

"A celestial being!"

Jian Wuyai's pupils suddenly contracted, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his usually calm face.

"You do have some discernment."

The young sword cultivator at the head glanced at Jian Wuyai, a contemptuous smile curving his lips. "I am an envoy of the Heavenly Sword Palace, sent by the Sword Master to guide the Innate Sword Body back to the Heavenly Realm."

He didn't even glance at anyone else, his gaze fixed directly on Chu Qingge, and he said in a matter-of-fact, unquestionable tone, "You, come with us."

That gesture was not an invitation, but a divine decree.

"What if I don't leave?" Chu Qingge's phoenix eyes turned slightly cold as she responded in a cool tone.

"Hmm?" The young envoy frowned, seemingly surprised that a "mortal" from the lower realm would dare to defy his will.

Just as he was about to lash out, Chu Feng stepped forward, blocking Chu Qingge's path, and said lazily, "My sister said she's not leaving. Are you deaf, or can't you understand human language?"

"presumptuous!"

A swordsman standing beside the young envoy shouted angrily, "How dare a mere ant swagger before my Heavenly Sword Palace? You're courting death!"

With a flick of his finger, a silver sword aura containing the laws of the celestial realm shot silently toward Chu Feng's brow!

This sword energy, though seemingly casual, contains the power of laws that is enough to easily annihilate any living being below the Profound Realm!

"Little Wind!"

Chu Qingge's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, she flashed and instantly appeared in front of Chu Feng. With a wave of her jade hand, an even purer and more domineering sword aura burst forth, colliding fiercely with the silver sword aura.

boom!

With a muffled thud, both sword energies vanished simultaneously.

Chu Qingge's figure was forced back, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Although she possessed an innate sword physique and her cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, she had only recently awakened and her control over her power was not yet fully refined. More importantly, the opponent's sword energy contained higher-level laws of heaven and earth, which naturally suppressed her.

"Huh?" Upon seeing this, the young envoy's eyes showed a hint of surprise, followed by even deeper contempt and disdain.

"A dignified innate sword body, a sword dao divine embryo unparalleled throughout the ages, actually lowered himself for a mere ant from the lower realm, even risking injury?"

He shook his head, his tone filled with disappointment and sarcasm: "What a disgrace to the name 'Innate Sword Body'!"

"No matter who you are or where you come from," Chu Qingge wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her clear, cold phoenix eyes blazing with unprecedented determination and killing intent. "Anyone who dares to touch Xiao Feng, I will kill them!"

"Kill us?"

The young envoy sneered as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Little girl, although you have an innate sword physique, you haven't fully matured yet. With your current strength, you are not qualified to speak such boastful words in front of my Heavenly Sword Palace."

He lost his patience, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"Very well, since this ant is such an eyesore, then this envoy will crush him to death first, and then take you away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger again. This time, a silver sword aura, more than ten times stronger than before, condensed. Its terrifying power of law even caused the surrounding space to distort!

"Stop!" Jian Wuyai and Mo Qiubai's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they were about to stop them.

But someone was faster than them!

"Heavenly Sword!"

Chu Qingge let out a delicate shout, and the ancient sword from the forbidden area of ​​Tianjian Mountain seemed to be summoned, instantly appearing in her hand!

Man and sword become one!

She transformed into a dazzling sword light, actively facing the potentially deadly silver sword energy!

"Overestimating yourself!"

The young envoy snorted coldly, about to unleash his sword energy to suppress the ungrateful woman along with the ant.

However, at this very moment...

"Hey! You bunch of little brats from the Heavenly Palace, aren't you itching for a beating again?"

A cynical, slightly drunken, aged voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Immediately afterwards, a withered, thin, and even somewhat greasy-looking hand appeared abruptly in front of the young envoy.

Snapped! ! !

A resounding slap echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The arrogant and aloof envoy of the Heavenly Sword Palace was sent flying like a spinning top by the slap. He spun 720 degrees in the air before finally crashing face-first into the ruins of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion with a loud bang, impossible to pry out.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the white-bearded old man who had appeared out of nowhere, wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with messy hair, yawning and looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

Chu Qingge also stopped, looking in surprise at the disheveled old man who had suddenly appeared and attacked, and asked in confusion, "Senior, who are you?"

The old man scratched his messy hair, chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and looked Chu Qingge up and down with the same look he had when examining a piece of exquisite jade, becoming more and more satisfied with his gaze.

"Little girl, you have excellent aptitude and outstanding talent; you're practically a born swordsman! So, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

"Who...who are you?!"

The other Sword Palace envoys, only now recovering from their shock, pointed at the old man in astonishment and anger, shouting fiercely, "How dare you lay a hand on an envoy of my Sword Palace?!"

"Sword Palace?" The old man glanced at them, scoffing dismissively, "Sword Palace is nothing!"

"Go back and tell that arrogant sword master of yours that this old man's name is Gu Santong!"
