They are the women standing behind me.

In this small building, there are powerful figures from two major factions?!

Chapter 94? Since he dares to accept it, that’s the best!

Standing at the door, Lu Yangde and Lu Yangpin felt a huge pressure coming at them, but Lu Yangde still spoke, "Elder Gu, we..."

Gu Chuwei sat there, holding up his teacup, and interrupted with an expressionless face, "Tell me, who told you to stand and talk to me like this?"

Lu Yangde and Lu Yangpin's faces froze.

Then Lu Yangde raised his hands and clasped them together, "We are wrong to disturb Elder Gu, Elder Li, and the three of you."

He was a man who could bend and stretch himself. He knelt when told to do so without hesitation.

Lei Taishang, Li Sujin and others felt emotional when they saw this.

The elders of powerful forces are always powerful. The members of the Lu family who were so arrogant in front of the people from the Sun and Moon Palace now knelt down in public.

Lu Yangpin stood there with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Yangpin!"

Lu Yangde shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Lu Yangpin gritted his teeth and then knelt down on his knees.

"Tell me, why did you come here with such a large force?" Gu Chuwei asked casually.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yangde found it difficult to ask Qin Wudi whether he dared to accept a life-and-death battle.

He could only say: "We are here on behalf of the family, please..."

However, Lu Yangpin interrupted directly with a shout: "According to the order of the clan, I have come to ask Qin Wudi if he dares to fight a life-and-death battle with our clan's Lu Yaozu. If Qin Wudi dares to accept it, our clan's Lu Yaozu will come. If he is as cowardly as a mouse and dares not accept it, we will leave and never come again!"

"My dear Qin, do you want to answer it?" Gu Chuwei turned his head and asked curiously.

"catch."

Qin Xingyuan nodded, "How can we retreat?"

"Then you can go."

After Gu Chuwei finished speaking to Lu Yangde and Lu Yangpin, the two men stood up, turned around quickly and left with their tribesmen. On the way back to the tribe, Lu Yangpin's face looked extremely ugly and gloomy.

How can he save his face?

In full view of the public...

He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"Not only the Divine Will Immortal Sect, but even the Ancient Questioning Immortal Sect has sent people?"

Lu Yangde pondered, "This independent cultivator Qin Wudi is truly extraordinary. In fact, we shouldn't make enemies with him."

"You still care about this kind of thing?!"

Lu Yangpin seemed to be filled with rage, and he growled in a low voice, unable to calm down, "How humiliated were we just now?! How much face did we lose in front of our clan members and outsiders?! Do we even have to apologize to Qin Wudi for killing a clan member?!"

"A true man can bend and stretch. Let alone just kneeling, even if it's humiliating, so what? Why bother with face? Fighting for a moment of pride? The one who can overcome the tribulation and become an immortal is the king who laughs last."

Lu Yangde didn't take it to heart, "Only by being able to endure what others cannot endure can one achieve great things..."

"No matter what, that independent cultivator Qin Wudi has already accepted it!"

Lu Yangpin laughed in anger and said, "Since he dares to accept, that's great! If he gets killed in a life-and-death battle, that's..."

"But he didn't even ask what realm Lu Yaozu of my clan was at, and those people didn't ask either..."

Lu Yangde frowned and said, "Logically, I should ask this, right? Regardless, the fact that the powerful elders from the two major factions have gathered here is enough to prove that Qin Wudi, this independent cultivator, is absolutely extraordinary. So we need to be cautious. Even if it means killing a chicken, we have to use a butcher knife."

He was convinced that Qin Wudi was a casual cultivator, naturally because of what Yang Zhiyi, a great figure in the Tribulation Realm, had said when he came to the Lu family. Of course, he also knew something. Even the powerful elders of the two major factions had come, so there must be something wrong with this young man. Logically speaking, the Lu family should not bow their heads, but also should not do anything...

But members of the clan have been killed, and now with so many members watching, it would be inappropriate to do nothing. It would affect the cohesion of the entire family. We are forced by the situation.

And it is even more impossible that Qin Wudi killed a member of the Lu family, and the Lu family would have to apologize to him instead. This is not a question of whether or not to be tough, but a question of having to save face!

……

Sun and Moon Palace.

Moon Palace and Moon Palace.

"People with great power are always domineering and majestic!"

Lei Taishang was filled with emotion. "Look at this! When the Lu family was asked to kneel, they just knelt and didn't even dare to fart. After all, the big forces are no match for small forces like us!"

"Qin Wudi is probably not a simple person."

The white-haired old woman whom Li Sujin called 'Senior Sister Feng' seemed to be lost in thought.

"The powerful elders from the two major factions came to see him. Even if this guy is just a small casual cultivator, he is still a very powerful small casual cultivator."

Lei Taishang stroked his graying beard, "But in our eyes, he is the independent cultivator Qin Wudi. Only those who don't overthink and speculate are truly smart."

The white-haired old woman looked at the beautiful and mature Li Sujin, thought for a moment, and said, "Junior Sister Li, you can find a way to get in touch with Qin Wudi."

"Indeed, staying in the Sun and Moon Palace, the Spiritual Transformation Realm is basically the end."

Lei Taishang also advised, "Junior Sister Li, everyone must eventually find a way to reach a higher level. Compared to the larger forces, we can't compare with them in terms of foundation, tradition, and so on. We also lack the cultivation resources. Moreover, if we encounter difficulties in cultivation, there are no great figures who can guide us. We can only grope our way forward on our own. If you follow Qin Wudi, I think he can speak to the great figures of the Divine Will Immortal Sect and the Ancient Questioning Immortal Sect. If you really have doubts about your cultivation, ask him to come forward and take you to them. They will eventually guide you."

“…”Li Sujin.

"Whether it's natural treasures or elixirs, you can buy them all with spirit stones. But if you want to seek guidance from a great figure, you need more than just spirit stones. You also need the great figure to give you the face you need. Otherwise, even if a small force like us goes to their door, we'll be turned away."

Lei Taishang said, "Besides, how many young cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm are there in the entire Southernmost Region who are worthy of the powerful elders of the two major forces to come and see? If I were a young and beautiful woman, I would definitely stick to her immediately. I am not afraid that she would touch me, but I am afraid that she would not touch me."

"Even though he's a shameless old bastard, but... what he said still makes sense."

The white-haired old woman said, "Junior Sister Li, this is always an opportunity. Those who are close to the water tower will get the moon first. Whether you can grasp it may determine your life. We don't care who Qin Wudi is, but..."

"If this Qin Wudi is really Qin Xingyuan from the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect, then we have someone from the Sun and Moon Palace following the sect's crown prince. From now on, the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect might not need us to hand over so many cultivation resources. We can just pay a symbolic amount. Then, we and our disciples will have a better life, and we can even recruit more disciples. Meanwhile, Junior Sister Li can become the crown princess and enjoy her life."

Lei Taishang said with a half-smile: "In a word, if Junior Sister Li doesn't want to ascend to higher positions or become an immortal, then there's really no need to think too much about it. But if she wants to ascend to higher positions, she should take action while she is still Qin Wudi."

"You old thing, how dare you think that? If Qin Xingyuan could..."

"How can it be certain? But Junior Sister Li comes from a small faction. Apart from her current realm, what else does she have? It's not that I look down on her. If I put her among the cultivators of the same realm from a larger faction, her strength would definitely be at the bottom. She only has the realm, but no strength. She is very weak."

Lei Taishang shrugged his shoulders. "There are countless female cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm throughout the entire Southernmost Region, but young people like you in the early Golden Core Realm are rare. So, Junior Sister Li, your great opportunity may be right before your eyes. If you don't seize it, it will be too late to regret it later."

Li Sujin seemed to be lost in thought.

Chapter 95: A Remnant Soul in the Sword

……

Qin Xingyuan was also chatting with Gu Chuwei and others.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard of a life-or-death battle; he'd read about it before, but he still asked, "Senior Li, Senior Gu, can anything really be used in a life-or-death battle? Are there absolutely no restrictions?"

"Of course, elixirs, talismans, treasures, secret techniques to increase strength... As long as you have them and can use them, you can use them. And no one is allowed to interfere in this battle."

Gu Chuwei said with a pleasant expression, "In fact, personal strength definitely has an impact on life-and-death battles, but it's not the decisive factor. Not only does one's own strength count, but one also has to rely on many trump cards. Qin Xiaoyou knows from having fought a life-and-death battle that a strong person can really die at the hands of someone who is much weaker than him, but who holds a wealth of trump cards. This is not an exaggeration, because a variety of powerful trump cards can really make up for the gap in strength. To put it bluntly, if talismans, elixirs, magic weapons, powerful treasures, etc. are really useless and have no effect on a cultivator's overall strength, is that even possible?"

"I've also heard of Lu Yaozu, the Lu family's founder. It's said that he possesses a bit of the charm of our ancestor, Lu Mingxuan, and has even been recognized by the spirit of the magical weapon left behind by our ancestor."

Nie Pengyi said slowly, "I think he should be stronger than Xie Jianan. The problem is, if it's not a competition, but he can use a lot of things, the Lu family must have some background. Lu Mingxuan, a famous figure in the world, must have left some powerful treasures for the family."

After hearing this, Qin Xingyuan felt that he had to fight even harder.

If a fight breaks out outside in the future, people will not compete with him.

So now that I have the opportunity, I will first accumulate experience in fighting a monk who keeps using trump cards, and see if I can keep breaking the various trump cards used by others.

"Young friend Qin, why don't you return to the sect immediately to get some treasures?"

Li Xingfa chuckled and suggested, "You don't have to use it, but keeping it with you will at least give you peace of mind. Your clan has existed for such a long time and is a powerful force with a deep foundation..."

"Senior Li, there's no need. Winning depends on treasures, not on yourself."

Qin Xingyuan shook his head.

In the end, he wanted to fight with the flying sword or fist in his hand.

He really doesn't want to win by relying on the baby.

Then everyone chatted for an hour, and Li Xingfa and others left after saying they were going to stay in Sun and Moon City temporarily, while Qin Xingyuan took out the ancient sword Zongheng from his storage bag.

He raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword.

The vicious and resentful aura came towards him again fiercely and violently.

He didn't let go this time.

He also knew that the sword had a spirit, so even though he couldn't communicate, the spirit would definitely be able to hear what he said.

So he opened his mouth and continued, "If I use you in the future, I will definitely say the name of the sword and tell others that it is the Sword Emperor's sword. I will also investigate to find out which faction destroyed the kingdom founded by Senior Sword Emperor. Of course, the time is long ago, and the people in the past are not the same as today, but if Senior Sword Emperor's entire lineage is taken away, I will take it all back. This is a promise, and it is also the agreement between you and me."

He felt that the fierce, violent, and resentful aura had not changed at all. Holding the hilt of the sword still felt like holding a hot potato, and he subconsciously wanted to let go.

But he still endured it and pulled out the ancient sword.

Unlike the pitch-black heavy sword Qiubai, the ancient sword Zongheng is more like an ordinary flying sword, but...

What surprised Qin Xingyuan was that the sword body was like white jade, crystal clear, as if there was no trace of impurities at all, and a faint glow was flowing.

This is a jade sword.

But the sword, without its scabbard, became even more violent and ferocious, extremely terrifying, like a tsunami pressing towards all directions.

But in an instant, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if something was sucking him in.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a pitch-black darkness where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. It was so dark that it was creepy.

He suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

A three-meter-tall, human-shaped old man with terrifying snake eyes, dark green skin, white hair, and seemed to have come here from the distant horizon.

This is……

Weapon spirit? !

"I am just a remnant soul. When I die, a remnant soul will be released and merged into the spirit of the weapon."

He spoke, his voice very hoarse.

"Are you Senior Sword Emperor?"

"Ah."

The Sword Emperor laughed a bit creepily. "This remnant of my soul was suddenly awakened. It wasn't because you woke me, but because there was another sword in your sword box. The weapon spirit sensed its spirit. It must be a flying sword that was sacrificed and refined by someone stronger than me. I wonder what it is called?"

"Seeking defeat."

Qin Xingyuan told the truth.

"Seeking defeat? Who dares to seek defeat? But perhaps it's because I'm too ignorant, I don't know whose sword this is..."

The Sword Emperor sat down cross-legged. "But anyone who can alarm the spirit of my natal sword must be an unrivaled being. And not just ordinary unrivaled ones. There are differences between the unrivaled and the unrivaled. You can gain the spirit's approval, so you must be an unparalleled and extraordinary being. No wonder I wasn't afraid or panicked when I saw you like that."

Qin Xingyuan looked at him with complicated eyes. Although he looked a little scary, neither human nor monster, and his eyes looked like snake eyes, this man was quite tragic and miserable.

It's hard to make him feel scared.

"I know something about your past, so I'm not afraid of you."

Qin Xingyuan said, "I even think in my heart that you are a real big shot."

"is it?"

The Sword Emperor smiled and said, "You can take out the sword box. I'll take a look at the Qiubai sword with my own eyes. Perhaps I can figure out something."

"Oh?"

"What was released was an illusion, not the real thing."

The Sword Emperor continued, "Just think about it. This is the world within the spirit of the weapon, a mysterious world. You can think of it as a small world independent of the realm of immortality. Otherwise, the remaining soul would have been annihilated long ago, and it would not have survived until now."

Qin Xingyuan did as he was told. A black and white sword box appeared behind him, and the heavy sword Qiubai flew out. He grasped the hilt and pulled it out directly.

The Sword Emperor looked at the pitch-black heavy sword and smiled, "What a fine sword! It's very clean, like a young girl who knows nothing of the world."

"clean?"
