As Zuo Yijian trembled, Zuo Lin also noticed his father's sword reacting strangely. That overwhelming sword intent made the scabbard vibrate violently. Under Zuo Lin’s stunned gaze, the sword and scabbard floated into the air.
Zuo Yijian rose to his feet, staring at his sword. He was certain that his senses were not mistaken.
This was the sword intent of the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path!
On the Heavenly Mending Platform, more and more people began to feel the presence of the sword intent, including Ye Lan.
She turned her head, gazing in astonishment toward Zuo Yijian.
BOOM—
Suddenly, the thunderclouds split apart, instantly illuminating the Outer Sect City. A violent wind descended from the sky, shaking the city’s buildings. The oppressive force caused weaker disciples and errand disciples to collapse to the ground.
Struggling to lift their heads, everyone saw a massive opening in the thunderclouds above the city, spanning dozens of miles in diameter.
The storm failed to reform, and under the sunlight, Chi Qian Zun and Elder Kusong continued their battle, locked in an intense struggle.
The two cultivators, separated by a hundred feet, exchanged spell attacks. The collision of their techniques created shockwaves and blinding flashes of light. The sheer force of their battle distorted the city's protective barrier, which looked as though it could shatter at any moment.
“Father... this...?” Zuo Lin looked at Zuo Yijian in disbelief, his voice trembling.
Could his father be the legendary Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path?!
The same thought crossed the minds of many others because the sword intent was simply too powerful.
Even Chi Qian Zun, who was in midair, sensed the sword intent. His sharp gaze locked onto Zuo Yijian, his brows furrowing.
Could this man really be the Sword Sovereign?
At that moment, Zuo Yijian suddenly dropped to one knee, looking at his violently trembling sword and shouting, "Sword Sovereign, please save my sect!"
As soon as his words fell—
CLANG!
The sound of a sword being unsheathed ripped through the heavens, silencing everything!
Chi Qian Zun instantly leaped backward, retreating onto the thunderclouds, widening the distance between himself and Elder Kusong.
Staring down at the Heavenly Mending Platform, Chi Qian Zun brought together his eighteen golden short blades, merging them into a single long sword. His face twisted into a crazed grin as he shouted, "Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path, come out! Let me see your strength!" ɽaɴŏ฿Еᶊ
His voice resounded throughout Taixuan Sect, not just as a challenge to the Sword Sovereign, but also as a signal to the Vice Sect Master of the Nightshade Sect, urging him to act quickly.
After all, Chi Qian Zun was at the fifth level of the Profound Mind Realm. Even if he couldn’t defeat the Sword Sovereign, he could certainly stall for time.
However, his provocation was met with only one response—
A piercing sonic boom!
The moment Chi Qian Zun finished speaking, Zuo Yijian’s sword suddenly shot toward him with a force beyond comprehension.
The terrifying sword intent erupted, sweeping everyone off their feet!
From all corners of the city, people watched in awe as a blinding streak of sword light shot upward, piercing through the heavens, its unstoppable force splitting the stormy sea of thunderclouds apart.
Zuo Lin, midair from the blast, saw the sky itself being cleaved in two by that sword. The image burned itself into his mind, filling him with unparalleled shock.
He had already intervened twice today.
A third time would be excessive.
Taixuan Sect needed to overcome its own tribulations.
Before long, a deafening cheer erupted from the Outer Sect City, so loud that even the errand disciples in the Third Medicine Valley could hear it.
Though they couldn’t make out the exact words, they could tell it was a celebration.
Meanwhile, Gu An remained beside Lu Lingjun, ensuring that no one interrupted her comprehension state.
Outer Sect City—
As excitement surged, more and more people rushed onto the Heavenly Mending Platform. Elder Kusong descended, landing in the center of the crowd, standing before Zuo Yijian.
At that moment, Zuo Yijian clutched his sword tightly, unwilling to sheathe it or hand it over to anyone.
Elder Kusong smiled and asked, “Junior, may I take a look at that sword?”
Zuo Yijian guarded it like a treasure, glaring at the elder warily.
Suddenly—
“Wait! The sword intent beneath our feet has strengthened!”
An elder exclaimed in shock, prompting everyone to lower their gazes.
They saw that the two characters for ‘Righteous Path’ carved into the platform were now flowing with sword intent.
It seemed that as the sword landed, Gu An’s sword intent had merged into the inscription, reinforcing the Sword Sovereign’s aura.
Elder Kusong turned to look at the inscription, sensing the profound sword energy within.
Slowly, he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Zuo Yijian took a step back and whispered to his son, “Lin’er, pick up my copy of Romance of the Gods.”
Third Medicine Valley—
Gu An smirked.
He had shaved off a hundred years from Lu Lingjun’s cultivation journey—so why should she make a fuss over something as trivial as holding hands?
Lu Lingjun, however, merely smiled.
“That’s fine. From now on, you belong to me.”
Before Gu An could react, she turned and left.
Gu An immediately chased after her.
“Miss Lu, I was just joking! Please don’t take it seriously!”
Lu Lingjun only laughed.
It was already too late.
