Chapter 39: Jiangdong Sword Immortal

"The Huaqing Sect's face is truly big; not only did the Heaven and Earth Alliance take action, but even the government sent officials to assist."

If Liang He said he wasn't envious, that would be a lie.

In the Qinghe region, there weren't many families that could mobilize such a big battle formation.

The Huaqing Sect was worthy of being a great sect of Anning.

Wu Tu listened to the movement outside the door.

He was also moved by the influence of the Huaqing Sect.

"This is what you call majestic."

Thinking back to when he was in the Dark Eight Sect, seeing government officials was like seeing Yama, he couldn't help but sigh at the disparity between people.

Truly, leaning against a big tree is good for shade.

Wu Tu confirmed the situation: "No need to panic, it should just be a routine patrol."

Hearing this.

The few people who were nervous finally relaxed; no one likes the feeling of risking their lives.

Liang He: "Wu Zhishi Wu, do you think that person will come tonight?"

Wu Tu rolled his eyes: "How would I know."

Intelligence is intelligence; anyone who believes it completely is a fool.

Wu Tu kindly taught Liang He a little: "Kid, when going out on a mission, the only constant is accidents, so you should understand..."

"Adapt to circumstances?"

Liang He took the words.

Wu Tu spat: "Fart, it's run if you see the situation is not right."

"..."

Liang He was speechless.

This is Wu Zhishi Wu's Jianghu secret?

Wu Tu didn't explain much; people teach people, and they don't learn; events teach people, and they learn once.

Some things are only understood after experiencing them, and summarizing and improving afterward is even greater.

Of course, the premise is that you still have your life.

Even if he received Li Rui's request, he couldn't take care of everything from poop to pee.

The waiting time was very boring; what they had to do was observe the movement around them, be ready to support at any time, and finding people was something more professional government officials did.

With nothing to do.

Wu Tu passed on experience to the seven or eight ordinary disciples of the Heaven and Earth Alliance around him.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp piercing sound accompanied a white smoke shooting straight into the sky.

"It's here already?"

Wu Tu and the others were all shocked, and together they drew the weapons in their hands and rushed toward the location of the signal arrow.

An hour ago.

Inside the main hall of the Heaven and Earth Alliance branch.

Helmsman Dao Xiong sat on the tiger-skin chair with a saber in his hand, with Liu Zhen sitting on his left and Kong Xiannian on his right.

Kong Xiannian glanced at Dao Xiong.

This Helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Alliance was said to have been a well-known saber guest in Anning Prefecture in his early years, once holding a seven-foot-long saber and chasing a hundred horse bandits, fierce to an incredible degree.

"Helmsman Dao, do you think my luring the snake out of the hole will be effective this time?"

Kong Xiannian looked like he had everything in his grasp.

Dao Xiong smiled faintly: "It's hard to say."

He didn't dislike Kong Xiannian using his subordinates as bait; after all, the other party informed him in advance, saving the Heaven and Earth Alliance from being caught off guard and losing face.

This matter helped him.

Dao Xiong opened his mouth: "Envoy Kong, what secret technique did your sect lose this time, to be so grand?"

Kong Xiannian didn't hide it: "It's the Bai Yuan Saber-Cloak."

Hearing the four words "Bai Yuan Saber-Cloak," Dao Xiong was instantly awe-struck.

"Is it the saber technique created by that senior of the Huaqing Sect known as the First Saber of the Seven Continents?"

Being said so by Dao Xiong, Kong Xiannian was vaguely proud: "Exactly, my sect's Uncle Master Ma is the eighth-generation disciple of that senior, but he was careless in accepting disciples and had the secret technique stolen by Xu Hua."

Dao Xiong made a clicking sound in his mouth.

Bai Yuan Saber-Cloak.

That is a top-tier cultivation technique; he hadn't even seen it in his entire life.

He didn't know who had the great fortune to obtain the secret technique.

"So it really was Li Tangzhu who took the secret technique?"

He also only learned a few days ago that the Hall Master of the Heavenly One Hall had also participated in the previous battle at the ruined temple, and was only a horseman.

Kong Xiannian shook his head:

"I hope the Helmsman will forgive me for acting first and reporting later, but Li Tangzhu is innocent; he didn't take it."

Dao Xiong felt a bit regretful.

"Then it's a bit difficult; I don't know who could have such great fortune."

Beggars from nearby often spent the night in the ruined temple.

If it was used as firewood by a beggar and lit, that would be a huge joke.

Dao Xiong turned his head to look at Liu Zhen sitting on the other side: "Envoy Liu, I wonder which senior came to Qinghe this time?"

This was what he cared about most tonight.

Kong Xiannian also cast an interested look.

Although both were envoys of the Huaqing Sect, before becoming envoys, their status was worlds apart; Liu Zhen's background was much better than his.

Therefore, he didn't know many things in the sect that Liu Zhen understood.

For example, this elder who personally went to Qinghe.

Liu Zhen smiled slightly: "It's not that I intentionally hid it, but Elder Jiang specifically gave instructions before leaving; I think you two don't want to experience Elder Jiang's sword, right?"

Elder Jiang?

Dao Xiong's heart jumped.

The Huaqing Sect only had one elder with the surname Jiang.

"Jiangdong Sword Immortal, Jiang Linxian?"

He widened his eyes.

Kong Xiannian had the same expression.

Neither of them expected that this time it would alarm such a big figure!

Dao Xiong asked tentatively: "Envoy Liu, why can you say it now?"

Liu Zhen said faintly: "Because Elder Jiang has already arrived in Qinghe; you can say whatever you want, as long as you can survive under his sword."

"..."

Dao Xiong and Kong Xiannian looked at each other, both feeling a chill down their backs.

Just as they were guessing where that Elder Jiang was—

Whoosh!

The signal arrow drew a white line in the sky.

Almost at the same instant, Dao Xiong and the two from the Huaqing Sect flashed and disappeared from the main hall.

In the dark night.

A figure quietly walked out of the room next to the Heavenly One Hall.

Dressed in black.

Can't tell the appearance, can't tell the age.

Li Rui's footsteps landed lightly on the ground, almost without making any sound.

"Bone-Cultivating Pill is indeed useful."

He was now only a line away from the Eighth Rank.

Others take at least five years to reach the Eighth Rank, while he only used one year; it won't be long before he can step into the Bronze Bone Realm.

In Qinghe, he can also be considered to have the strength to lift his head and be a person.

Perhaps in a few months, he looked up at the signal arrow in the sky.

"Is it finally starting?"

Carrying the newly forged saber, he found a suitable position and jumped over the courtyard wall, also rushing toward the location of the signal arrow.

That Huaqing Sect disciple must have locked onto him as the one who took the Bai Yuan Saber-Cloak.

He would definitely try to take action against him in secret.

Li Rui didn't like worrying about being assassinated by others when sleeping.

That feeling was really not good.

So the best way was to make that Huaqing Sect disciple completely unable to move; he had heard from a disciple surnamed Zhou who came with the Zhu family's young master Zhu Yue that the Huaqing Sect disciple was seriously injured by Jiang Yan with some kind of divine weapon talisman; if they really fought, he also had the ability to protect himself.

Although many experts had made full preparations tonight.

But when a person gets old, it's easy to have nightmares.

If he didn't see that Huaqing Sect disciple killed with his own eyes, he couldn't sleep!

"I am really not at ease!"
