Su He rushed to their side and pulled them both over.

Lin Feng's face was deathly pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing was weak.

But now is not the time for self-blame. Lin Feng and Murong Xue's lives are hanging by a thread, and there is no time to waste.

Su He took a deep breath, suppressing her grief, and began to do everything she could to heal the two wounds.

He channeled all his Martial Emperor True Essence, transforming it into streams of warm energy that slowly flowed into Lin Feng and Murong Xue's bodies.

He took out various medicinal herbs and secret treasures he carried with him and fed them to the two of them one by one.

Lin Feng and Murong Xue's breathing gradually stabilized, but they were still in critical condition and could die at any moment.

Su He gritted his teeth, increased his output of true energy, and did his best to keep the two of them alive.

Finally, after another hour had passed,

Lin Feng and Murong Xue's auras gradually strengthened, and their complexions regained some color.

Su He and Lin Feng returned in triumph, stepping into Jianmen Mountain with the joy of victory.

At the mountain gate, many disciples had already gathered, all with joyful expressions, waiting for the return of the two heroes.

"Su He, Lin Feng, you're finally back!"

"Congratulations to both of you on your great victory over the evil spirit and for ridding the world of this scourge!"

The disciples rushed forward, enthusiastically surrounding Su He and Lin Feng, vying to offer their congratulations.

Su He and Lin Feng smiled and returned the greetings to the disciples one by one, saying humbly, "Junior brothers and sisters, this is just our duty, nothing to mention."

"It is our duty as cultivators to rid the world of harm."

Just then, a deep voice came from behind the crowd: "Excellent! You truly are an outstanding disciple of Jianmen Mountain. Your master is very pleased!"

Everyone turned around at the sound, and Juechenzi walked slowly, followed by several elders.

Su He quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Sect Leader."

Lin Feng bowed respectfully: "Senior Juechen."

Juechenzi waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need for formalities. You two little ones have made a great contribution this time, and I am very pleased with you."

"Especially you, Su He, being able to comprehend the art of combining sword and shield, it's clear that your martial arts talent is extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Su He quickly replied humbly, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, you flatter me. I was merely lucky and managed to grasp a little bit of the truth."

Juechenzi laughed heartily, clearly pleased with Suhe's humility.

He turned to look at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, although you are not a disciple of my Jianmen Mountain, the fact that you can fight alongside Su He is enough to show your strength and character."

"Having gone through this ordeal, your cultivation levels must have improved significantly, right?"

Lin Feng replied respectfully, "I will keep your teachings in mind. I have indeed benefited greatly from this experience."

Juechenzi suddenly clapped his hands, his tone tinged with mystery: "Since that's the case, I, your master, will reward you handsomely to demonstrate the magnanimity of my Sword Gate Mountain!"

He turned to an elder behind him and said, "Elder Xuanji, bring up what I have prepared for them."

Elder Xuanji responded and quickly left, returning shortly with two brocade boxes in his arms.

Juechenzi accepted the brocade box and said with a smile, "Suhe and Lin Feng, you two have both made great contributions and deserve to be rewarded."

"In each of these two brocade boxes lies a supreme divine weapon, the most treasured artifact of my Jianmen Mountain."

"Now, I bestow these upon you. I hope you will keep them well and use them to achieve great feats in the future!"

After saying that, Juechenzi opened the brocade box and took out two weapons that shimmered with dazzling light.

A longsword and a long spear, both engraved with mysterious patterns, exuding a sacred and powerful aura.

"I now bestow these two divine weapons upon you, hoping you will use them to uphold justice and vanquish demons!"

On Jianmen Mountain, clouds and mist swirl, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

Su He, dressed in a green robe, stepped into the sect's main hall, his gaze sharp as a sword.

Inside the main hall, the elders had all gathered, each with a solemn expression.

On the head of the sect, an elderly man with white hair and beard slowly rose to his feet. He was none other than Elder Juechenzi, the current sect leader of the Sword Sect.

Juechenzi looked around and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, after five years, the Martial Arts Tournament is about to return. This sect competition is related to the glory of my Sword Sect, and even more so to the future of all of you disciples."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy.

Su He was also deeply moved.

Once upon a time, he was full of vigor and competed in martial arts tournaments.

Now that time has passed, although he has reached the level of a Martial Emperor, he has become indifferent to many things.

Juechenzi continued, "All disciples may participate in the competition. Only those who emerge as the top three winners will be able to represent our Sword Sect in the final battle!"

These words immediately sparked whispers from the audience.

Su He thought to himself that this competition would probably be another fierce battle.

Juechenzi waved his sleeve and said, "The rules of the competition are as follows: it is divided into three categories: martial arts, swordsmanship, and internal energy cultivation. Each category will be a knockout tournament until the top three are determined. The winners of all three categories will be the overall champions of the competition!"

Having said that, his gaze swept sharply across the crowd: "Elders, does anyone have any objections?"

Su He and all the elders present shook their heads in unison.

Juechenzi nodded and said, "In that case, it's decided. The competition will be held a month from now."

At that time, we humbly request the guidance of all elders to select the most outstanding disciples for our Sword Sect!

"I will heed the Patriarch's instructions!"

The elders responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the hall.

After the meeting, Su He strolled out, feeling quite emotional.

Once upon a time, he was the most dazzling rising star of the Sword Sect. A hundred years ago, at the martial arts tournament, he made a name for himself, defeating many elites from various sects and winning the championship.

At that time, he was full of vigor and high spirits, enjoying the satisfaction of settling scores.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye. He is no longer the boy he once was.

Su He secretly vowed to thoroughly examine the new generation of disciples in the sect during this competition.

The path of martial arts is long and arduous; only with successors can a sect truly shine.

Only by passing on the torch can the glory of the Sword Sect last forever.

Su He strolled to the back mountain of the sect and could see the direction of Qingxuan Valley in the distance.

That was where he spent most of his time in seclusion, a place rich in spiritual energy and with a tranquil environment.

A thought arose in Su He's mind: why not take this opportunity to rest in Qingxuan Valley for a few days and consolidate his Martial Emperor cultivation?

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and strode towards Qingxuan Valley.

He walked lightly, as if riding the wind.

Emperor Wu's cultivation level is indeed extraordinary.

In the blink of an eye, the gates of Qingxuan Valley were right before their eyes.

Su He gently patted the door, and it opened with a thud.

The valley is filled with spiritual energy and shrouded in ethereal mist, making it an ideal place for cultivation.

Su He found a flat spot, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate his internal energy.

In an instant, a vast and powerful aura burst forth from his body.

The heavens and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their brilliance.

Su He was enveloped in golden light, like a god descending to earth.

He quietly felt the power surging within his body, cultivating with undivided attention.
