Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Although Sword Pavilion is the number one sect in Great Yan, with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, it is still much weaker than the six sects of Feng Kingdom.

Therefore, if Gu Cangming wanted to start a war with the Xuanyang Sword Sect, the first thing he had to consider was the attitude of the other five sects.

If the Sword Pavilion, being an outside sect, wants to invade the Wind Kingdom, the other five sects will certainly not agree. Once they unite, the Sword Pavilion will definitely not be able to withstand them.

Therefore, Gu Cangming sent Xiao Jin to test the attitudes of the other five sects.

As long as they don't interfere, it wouldn't be a big deal for the Sword Pavilion to give away ten Longevity Fruits.

After all, his Sword Pavilion doesn't lack these ten Longevity Fruits.

This matter was handled very quickly.

Over the next month, Xiao Jin traveled to the other five sects of Feng Kingdom and made it clear that his target was only the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, not an invasion of Feng Kingdom.

The other five sects also adopted a wait-and-see attitude, all stating that they would not intervene.

After all, who would refuse a windfall?

In the past, it would have been harder than climbing to heaven for them to get a Longevity Fruit from the Sword Pavilion, but now that it's been delivered right to their doorstep, they naturally won't refuse.

Although Shi Fengtian of the Thousand Shadows Sect stepped in to help the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, the Thousand Shadows Sect still received one.

That's because Shi Fengtian didn't go as the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Shadows Sect, but as Ye Lingxi's master.

Ye Lingxi and Lu Fan became Daoist partners, so this matter did not escalate to the point of a sect war, and the Sword Pavilion did not care whether there was another Shi Fengtian.

As for Zhuang Qingzi and Zhong Buyan, these two are independent cultivators and are not within the scope of the Sword Pavilion's persuasion efforts.

Thus, Sword Pavilion has achieved its goal.

And the time for the duel with the Xuan Yang Sword Sect had arrived!

On the Sword Pavilion Square, Gu Cangming released a huge flying boat, and he and Gu Xinxiao Jin were the first to leap onto the bow.

"For this campaign against the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, the inner sect has dispatched six Core Formation cultivators, led by Feng Xiu and Wang Qingzhu," Gu Xin said slowly, standing on the flying boat with his hands behind his back.

Upon hearing this, six Core Formation cultivators—two women and four men—flew out from the plaza and landed on the flying boat.

Among them, the Core Formation cultivator named Feng Xiu had already reached the late Core Formation stage. His soaring sword intent surged like a mighty river, demonstrating that his strength far surpassed that of ordinary late Core Formation cultivators, and he was at least on par with Song Zhiyuan of the One Qi Sect.

As for the other four Core Formation cultivators, two are at the peak of the early Core Formation stage, and two are at the peak of the middle Core Formation stage.

This level of strength is more than enough to easily wipe out a second-rate sect.

"Rest assured, Elder, this time in the campaign against the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, I will definitely cut off that brat surnamed Lu's head and avenge my two junior brothers, Gu Shuo and Gu Chen!" Feng Xiu slowly clasped his hands and said.

"You six must kill Lu Fan at all costs. As for the other Nascent Soul stage monsters of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, you don't need to worry about them," Gu Xin said slowly.

The Xuan Yang Sword Sect only has Lu Fan as a Core Formation cultivator. Even with Ye Lingxi added, it wouldn't be a problem for the six sword cultivators.

But at this moment, Wang Qingzhu felt uneasy, yet powerless to change anything.

"Let's go," Gu Cangming said, turning and stepping into the flying boat.

Boom boom boom...

As the enormous flying ship took off, it immediately sped towards the Wind Kingdom!

...

Feng Kingdom, Xuan Yang Sword Sect.

At this moment, under the orders of Ancestor Jing, all the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect temporarily left the sect for refuge under the leadership of Zhang Shouye.

Among them were Bai Rou'er and others, but Ancestor Jing did not tell them the truth, but only sent them down the mountain to gain experience.

At this point, only Lu Fan, Ye Lingxi, and four Nascent Soul cultivators remained in the entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect.

"Nephew Lu, the Sword Pavilion is here to kill you this time. I'll say it again: if you are no match for them, immediately use the Bloodwing Heavenly Demon's Blood to save your life," said Ancestor Jing, looking at Lu Fan beside him.

"Disciple understands," Lu Fan nodded slightly.

After arranging things for Lu Fan, Ancestor Jing looked at Shi Fengtian, Zhuang Qingzi, and Zhong Buyan beside him.

"Fellow Daoists, when the fight breaks out, I and Fellow Daoist Zhong will join forces to deal with Gu Cangming. As for Xiao Jin and Gu Xin, I'll leave it to Fellow Daoist Shi and Fellow Daoist Zhuang," Elder Jing said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Fengtian stood with his hands behind his back and said, "You think you can deal with Gu Cangming? Do you really think that a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is so easy to deal with? Let me and Fellow Daoist Zhong handle it. A piece of trash like Gu Xin is more suitable for you."

Hearing Shi Fengtian's words suddenly surprised Ancestor Jing. After all, dealing with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was no child's play, yet Shi Fengtian would help him.

Although Shi Fengtian was sharp-tongued, he was unwavering in his support for the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.

Shi Fengtian is like that. If he felt that helping would be useless, he would never help. But now that it has been confirmed that the Xuan Yang Sword Sect has the confidence to fight the Sword Pavilion, he will naturally help without holding back.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Shi. I will be very grateful once the matter is settled," said Ancestor Jing, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.

Shi Fengtian was, after all, at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his Thousand Shadow Clone Technique had already achieved some success. He could easily hold off a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator for a short time. Of course, this was on the premise that Gu Cangming had not reached the peak of the mid-stage; otherwise, it would be difficult to handle.

Zhong Buyan, being a body cultivator, seemed capable of holding his own against the opponent thanks to his powerful physique.

"Decades ago, I fought with a rogue cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Although I lost, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was nothing special. Now that my Vajra Emperor Body Technique is nearing completion, I think I can hold off Gu Cangming by myself without any problem," Zhong Buyan said with considerable confidence.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, you shouldn't judge a sword cultivator in the mid-Nascent Soul stage by common sense. You'll suffer a great loss. Gu Cangming's sword will be ready soon," Zhuang Qingzi said.

"Hmph, then I'll see if he can even cut me!" Zhong Buyan said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Just as the four were talking, Shi Fengtian, whose spiritual sense was the strongest among them, frowned slightly and said, "They've arrived!"

As soon as Shi Fengtian finished speaking, three powerful Nascent Soul cultivators swept over the entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect!

In particular, Gu Cangming's mid-stage Nascent Soul aura was like a colossal mountain!

Although it seemed terrifying, the four members of the Jing family also sensed that Gu Cangming did not seem to have reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This is undoubtedly good news for the Xuan Yang Sword Sect!

"Everyone, let's go greet our distinguished guest," Shi Fengtian said, and took the lead, transforming into a streak of light and soaring into the sky.

Following closely behind were Old Ancestor Jing, Zhuang Qingzi, and Zhong Buyan.

In an instant, four Nascent Soul stage auras also erupted, spreading unceremoniously into the distance!

At that moment, Lu Fan's late-stage Core Formation divine sense also sensed the surging Nascent Soul aura like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing in.

At the same time, there were also six Core Formation auras!

One of them was extremely familiar to him!

Wang Qingzhu!

"Hehe, you old scoundrel Gu Xin, you're really ruthless!" Lu Fan was so angry that he laughed after sensing Wang Qingzhu's presence.
