The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"What's the situation? Has the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord revealed any relevant information?"

In the meeting room of the Qingcheng office, An Changmin lit a cigarette, his fingertips trembling slightly.

He hasn't slept a wink since last night.

It's not that I don't want to sleep, it's just that I'm too excited to fall asleep.

As soon as I lie down, it's like I'm possessed; my mouth involuntarily stretches to my ears, and I burst out laughing in the middle of the night, unable to hold it in.

Shatter the Blood Luo Palace's conspiracy, break the Blood Moon Array, and capture the Blood Silent Demon Lord.

Ignoring Xu Songyan's threats, they killed a Golden Core cultivator and annihilated the arrogant Xu family...

Okay, none of this has anything to do with him.

but!

Regardless of the circumstances, Qingcheng truly emerged unscathed from such a massive crisis.

The situation was resolved smoothly and almost perfectly, which is a great achievement.

Who knew I'd sit on the wrong side? I just happened to be incredibly lucky and ended up as the governor of Qingzhou.

Such tremendous achievements fell upon him.

"It's no use, we can't find anything."

Dr. Wang shook his head slightly. "That demon was terrified and went insane. Even his soul was shattered, and no related memories can be found."

"This very morning, just as the sun rose, he died and vanished, turning into ashes."

That's such a shame.

An Changmin sighed. They had originally hoped to learn more about Chen Xuan's deeds through the Blood Silence Demon Lord.

Why is this demon so afraid of Chen Xuan? He even prostrated himself before him!

"I don't quite understand how he knows Chen Xuan," Ye Li said curiously.

Dr. Wang nodded. "That's also what's puzzling me."

"According to our investigation, the Blood Silence Demon Lord was active from the Sword Dao Era to the 350th to 410th year."

"That period was also a time when the sword path was weak and the righteous path was dim. It was a difficult time when Sword Master Pei led many sects to fight against the Demonic Sect."

"But the timing doesn't match!"

According to Li Bai, Chen Xuan entered the Sword Tomb in the 128th year of the Sword Dao Era, leaving behind a sword seed, and never appeared again after that.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Li proposed a bold idea: "Is it possible that Chen Xuan did not die after leaving behind the sword seed?"

Dr. Wang was the first to deny it, saying, "That's impossible. After the sword path was shattered, the Sword Master of Slaughter suffered divine retribution and died. This is a scene that many people witnessed."

Since the release of the autobiography of "A Thousand Years of Poetry and Sword", the research institute began to investigate after learning that Chen Xuan had the title of the Sword Master of Slaughter.

Whether you ask righteous people or demonic people, you get the same answer.

The Sword Master of Slaughter defied the heavens, committing excessive killing. On the day the Sword Tomb shattered, heaven and earth unleashed a thunderous punishment.

He was powerless to resist and vanished into nothingness amidst the overwhelming thunder.

That would be strange.

"There can't be reincarnation in the cultivation world, can there?"

"After Chen Xuan died amidst the thunder, he was reincarnated two hundred years later and, for some reason, overwhelmed the Blood Silence Demon Lord?"

An Changmin clicked his tongue in amazement and shared his thoughts.

Then, everyone, including Lin Xiaoman, looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"If reincarnation exists in the cultivation world, why would those peerless geniuses be reincarnated into our modern world?"

"..."

"..."

An Changmin's lips twitched a few times. "Don't say that. I was just saying. Even if I were stupid, I wouldn't believe this."

"By the way, did Zhao Laisheng send over the contract?" he quickly changed the subject and asked.

Ye Li nodded. "I just received a message that the master did not stop her, and Lu Yao has already signed the contract."

"I made some additional modifications to the terms of this contract. In general, it means that Lu Yao has no obligations or responsibilities to Ling Xiao, and no one can restrain her."

Lin Xiaoman slammed her hand on the table. "Sister Li, you're being too biased! When I signed the contract, I was bound by your rules and there were so many restrictions."

Ye Li glanced at her and said, "If you're so capable, go find a senior brother as powerful as Chen Xuan."

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"This isn't fun. I'm not playing with you guys anymore. I'm going to go play with my best friend."

Lin Xiaoman, fuming, picked up the teddy bear from the table and left the meeting room.

An Changmin couldn't stop smiling. "Who's her best friend?"

"Lu Yao".

A smile appeared on Ye Li's lips.

"...From now on, if anyone says Lin Xiaoman is naive, I'll be the first to disagree," An Changmin said in a muffled voice.

He was such a seasoned veteran that he saw through Lin Xiaoman's thoughts immediately.

Since I can't hug the thigh, I've decided to hug the calf instead.

There is almost no doubt that, based on Chen Xuan's demonstrated abilities, he is capable of becoming a pillar of society, but he simply doesn't care about that aspect.

Ding-dong—

At that moment, almost simultaneously, all three of their phones rang.

They glanced down and exclaimed excitedly in unison, "The final part of Li Bai's 'A Thousand Years of Poetry and Sword' has been released!"

……

"A Thousand Years of Poetry and Swordsmanship," Li Bai's autobiography.

[The Sword Dao Era lasted four hundred years, and the sword Dao flourished from then on. In the following ten years, sword cultivators made rapid progress, their cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds.]

Sword masters emerge in droves, and various sword styles spring up like mushrooms after rain.

It is lamentable that you died as a divine punishment. This prosperous age, as you wished, you were unable to witness with your own eyes.

"You see, even in Li Bai's autobiography, it is stated that Chen Xuan died from lightning punishment," Dr. Wang said in a deep voice.

Ye Li said in a low voice, "It seems that we still need to investigate slowly to find out what really happened."

The more you learn about Chen Xuan, the more mysterious he seems, like a riddle that can never be solved.

During these ten years, I devoted myself to the way of the sword, and my sword skills improved rapidly, so rapidly that I didn't even have time to react.

[Afterwards, while practicing swordsmanship, he also indulged in the beauty of nature, taking in the sights and rivers. In the 408th year of the Sword Dao Era, he traveled to the Jade Purity Sword Ruins.]

Just then, Sword Master Pei returned from repelling the Demonic Sect, and his swordsmanship had not yet been fully revealed. Seeing this, I was filled with excitement, and my own swordsmanship also surged forth.

That year, I had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, while Sword Master Pei had just entered the Deity Transformation stage. We did not compete based on cultivation level, but only on swordsmanship.

Upon seeing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and their gazes involuntarily drifted towards Ye Li.

After all, the person in front of them represents Pei Jianzun.

No one expected that, despite the difference of several hundred years, Li Bai would still be able to clash with Pei Jianzun.

No wonder Li Taibai was so familiar with Yue Rushuang when he came to report for duty; it turns out they had fought before and had already met.

Pei Jianzun, a prodigy before the destruction of the Sword Tomb, had mastered the profound art of swordsmanship. He led the righteous path to independently resist the demonic path and is a role model for all sword cultivators.

The swordsmanship I practice is the swordsmanship after the reconstruction of the Sword Tomb. It is a brand new swordsmanship, unknown to anyone in the world.

[This clash between the old and new kendo styles was a truly delightful event.]

This battle lasted three days, and in terms of swordsmanship, I was no match for him.

[If we consider only the art of swordsmanship...]

[Swordsmanship, swordsmanship techniques, the realm of the Way of the Sword—I possess the advantage of acquired talent, inheriting the sword intent of my master, and innovating upon it…]

In the end, I narrowly escaped with a slight advantage.

Seeing this, everyone present was starting to lose their composure.

So all that boasting about Sword Master Pei for so long, all that crazy armor stacking, was just to cover for yourself!

So, you really won?
