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

Ancient! Three! Through!

Upon hearing these three words, the faces of the Sword Palace envoys, who were originally furious, turned ashen, their eyes filled with fear as if they had seen a ghost!

They didn't dare utter another harsh word. They frantically dug their unconscious leader out of the ruins, tore through space, and scrambled away, as if afraid that if they were a step too slow, the old man would slap them to death.

This scene shocked Jian Wuyai, Han Li, and the others below, causing a huge uproar.

Ancient Three Passages!

They had never heard of this name before, but the fact that it could strike fear into the hearts of the envoys of the Heavenly Sword Palace suggested that this old man's origins were probably terrifying beyond imagination!

Having driven away the Sword Palace people, Gu Santong grinned at Chu Qingge again: "How about it, little girl? Now no one's going to fight you for anything. Want to become my disciple? Follow me, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury. In less than a hundred years, I'll have all those so-called geniuses of the Heavenly Realm trampled underfoot!"

However, Chu Qingge shook her head and bowed respectfully to Gu Santong: "Thank you for your help, senior, and for your kindness. However, I already have a master, and I will not take anyone else as my master in this life."

"Oh?" Gu Santong was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked with some curiosity, "You already have a sect? What sect is it? You're so lucky to have such a precious disciple like yourself?"

A look of pride and determination appeared on Chu Qingge's face as she spoke clearly, word by word:

"My sect is called—Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Tianjian Sect?

Upon hearing this name, the vast majority of people present, including Mo Qiubai and the powerful figures who had come from other states, were completely bewildered.

Where did this sect come from? I've never heard of it before.

Could it be some insignificant sect from the Northern Wilderness?

Many people looked at Chu Qingge with a hint of regret. Such an unparalleled swordsmanship prodigy had actually joined an unknown little sect; it was a waste of talent and a disgrace!

However, just as everyone was wondering, Jian Wuyai, the Supreme Elder of Lingxu Sword Sect, was struck by lightning the moment he heard the words "Heavenly Sword Sect".

His resolute face first showed blankness, then deep thought, and then, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying, his pupils suddenly contracted to the extreme, and his face showed unparalleled shock and horror!

He stared intently at Chu Qingge, his voice trembling violently with excitement, carrying a hint of disbelief and a plea for confirmation: "You...you're talking about the Heavenly Sword Sect, is it...is it the Heavenly Sword Sect that, thousands of years ago, unified the sword path of the Nine Provinces and commanded all swords under heaven?!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence!

Those powerful figures from various states who were initially bewildered suddenly felt as if they had been struck by lightning upon hearing the second half of Jian Wuyai's sentence. Their expressions changed drastically, and they gasped in shock!

"Heavenly Sword Sect! I remember now! Ancient texts record that thousands of years ago, there was indeed a sect called the Heavenly Sword Sect on the Nine Provinces Continent, which was recognized as the number one sword sect in the Nine Provinces at that time!"

"That's right! Legend has it that the Heavenly Sword Sect was at its peak back then, with countless powerful figures and numerous sword immortals. Even the current Lingxu Sword Sect is like a firefly compared to the bright moon, not even in the same league!"

"Our Huangji Sect's ancient texts also mention that at the height of the Heavenly Sword Sect's glory, with a single command from the sect leader, all the sects across the Nine Provinces dared not disobey! It was a truly supreme sword-wielding power that reigned supreme over the world!"

"But... wasn't it said that the Heavenly Sword Sect was too domineering, angering the Heavenly Dao, and was utterly destroyed overnight, its lineage severed? How could there possibly still be successors?"

Immediately, discussions arose, and all the gazes directed at Chu Qingge shifted from regret to shock, and then to uncertainty.

If what she's talking about is really the legendary Heavenly Sword Sect... then the nature of this matter is completely different!

Faced with the doubts of the crowd, Chu Qingge's pretty face was icy cold. She looked around and her clear voice carried an undeniable arrogance.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect has been destroyed, but its legacy has not been severed!"

"I, Chu Qingge, as a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, am determined to revitalize the sect and restore its former glory!"

Her voice was powerful and resonant; every word was like a sharp sword cleaving through the clouds, containing unparalleled determination and will!

The old patriarch of Tianjian Mountain, who was standing not far away, was already in tears. He was so excited that his whole body trembled. He knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of Chu Qingge.

"Ancestors...can you see this...? My Heavenly Sword Sect...has a worthy successor!!"

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone was shocked by Chu Qingge's words and the resolute spirit she exuded, as if she would go even if there were thousands of people against her.

"good!"

"Well said!!"

Just then, Gu Santong suddenly slapped his thigh and burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with endless admiration and... a hint of barely perceptible sadness.

"That's ambitious! A million times better than those power-hungry brats in Heaven!"

After laughing, his expression turned serious. He rummaged through his tattered clothes for a while and pulled out a rusty token that looked like scrap metal. Without saying a word, he stuffed it into Chu Qingge's hand.

"Young lady, since you've made up your mind, this old man won't force you. Keep this token safe. From now on, whether in the mortal realm or the heavenly realm, if you encounter any trouble you can't handle, or if anyone tries to bully you, crush this token, and this old man will be there whenever you call!"

He handed the token to Chu Qingge, then turned around. His seemingly cloudy old eyes slowly swept over Jian Wuyai, Mo Qiubai, and all the powerful figures present, and his voice suddenly turned cold.

"Today, I'm putting my words here."

"This girl is under my protection, Gu Santong. If any of you dare lay a finger on her..."

"I'll wipe out his entire family!"

overbearing!

Unparalleled dominance!

But none of the powerful figures present dared to utter a word in rebuttal; they were all silent and trembling, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Seeing this, Gu Santong nodded in satisfaction, then resumed his crazy and eccentric manner. Carrying his wine gourd, he took a step forward, and his figure blurred on the spot before disappearing without a trace, as if he had never appeared.

It wasn't until long after he left that the terrifying pressure that had been weighing on everyone's hearts slowly dissipated.

Chu Feng let out a long sigh of relief below, muttering to himself, "Goodness, what's this old man's cultivation level? He's too powerful!"

"He's just a mere Supreme Being, what's the big deal?" The Thunder Lord's domineering voice, full of disdain, echoed in his mind.

"Supreme?" Chu Feng was taken aback. "What kind of realm is that? Is it even more powerful than the Profound Realm?"
