Chapter 89: Chu Yue: Little Gu, do you want a Sword Attendant or not…

Heavenly Sword Divine Mountain.

"Old Ancestor, Qiankun Daozi has entered Ten Thousand Sword City..."

Chu Yue stood outside the Immortal Cave on the mountain peak, his voice respectful, reporting everything that had happened since Gu Shengge arrived at the Lingxiao Sword Sect to the Sword Sect Old Ancestor inside the Immortal Cave.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the Sword Sect Old Ancestor, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them when he heard that Gu Shengge had defeated Xuan Yuan Jingshen, a Soul Transformation Fourth Heaven Cultivator, with just one move. A hint of surprise appeared in his cloudy eyes.

If it weren't for knowing Chu Yue's character, the Sword Sect Old Ancestor would have suspected he was deceiving him.

A Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivator actually defeated a Soul Transformation Fourth Heaven Great Cultivator with one move.

Not to mention the Sword Sect Old Ancestor, no one in the entire Azure Expanse would believe it.

In the Azure Expanse's ancient history of billions of years, Prodigies were as countless as the stars. Even the Heaven-Cutting Dao Venerable from a hundred thousand years ago didn't have such a world-shaking performance in the Nascent Soul realm!

The more the Sword Sect Old Ancestor thought about it, the more shocked he became. The Qiankun Taoist Sect had truly found a treasure this time!

Why didn't his own sect have such luck?

Thinking of this, the Sword Sect Old Ancestor also thought of Ye Ran, and his expression immediately darkened.

He had originally thought that the Opportunity for the Sword Sect's rise had arrived, but he didn't expect it to be a person who was outwardly splendid but inwardly rotten.

The more the Sword Sect Old Ancestor thought about it, the angrier he became.

Damn it, if Ye Ran wasn't already dead, his Divine Soul completely destroyed, leaving him no place to vent his anger, he wouldn't have punished Xuan Yuan Jingshen and the others.

Sword Sect Old Ancestor: "Zhenyue, do you mean that Qiankun Daozi has no interest in Wanjian Mountain?"

"Replying to Old Ancestor, Gu Shengge's Physical Body is incredibly strong, not inferior to a Soul Transformation Cultivator. Although the Sword Qi nurtured by Wanjian Mountain is sharp and helpful for Body Refining, it doesn't have much effect on a Soul Transformation Physical Body. This Disciple suggests we change the thank-you gift?"

Chu Yue said truthfully. Only Xuan Yuan Jingshen and the others thought that Wanjian Mountain was a punishment for Qiankun Daozi. In reality, Wanjian Mountain was an Opportunity given by the Sword Sect Old Ancestor to Gu Shengge, as a thank you for "exposing" Ye Ran and preventing the Sword Sect from losing face in the future.

The Sword Sect Old Ancestor fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

To be honest, the Lingxiao Sword Sect didn't have many valuable things to offer. Although they occupied a High Grade Spiritual State, compared to the Qiankun Taoist Sect, they were much poorer.

Sword Cultivators and spiritual swords undergo Dual Cultivation, so most of a Sword Cultivator's resources are invested in spiritual swords. The sect's treasury is full of various Artifact Refining Materials and all kinds of spiritual swords.

If it were spiritual swords, the Sword Sect had as many as one could want.

But Qiankun Daozi didn't Cultivate swords.

He couldn't give it even if he wanted to.

"Zhenyue, what do you suggest?"

The Sword Sect Old Ancestor threw this question to Chu Yue.

Before, the dignified Lingxiao Sword Sect would naturally not deliberately curry favor with a Dao Sect Disciple, not even a Daozi.

But now it was different. Qiankun Daozi had displayed such monstrous talent. If they could form a good relationship with him, it would also benefit the Sword Sect's future.

At least when Gu Shengge achieves Immortal Ascension in the future, the Lingxiao Sword Sect might also be able to get a share of the benefits.

Outside the Immortal Cave, Chu Yue was also a bit troubled.

Give him a copied Divine Ability of the Sword Dao? He doesn't Cultivate swords either.

Give him Artifact Refining Materials? He might not even care for them. He had heard Mu Qianyang say that the Dao Sect Old Ancestor had bestowed a piece of Sun Immortal Gold upon Gu Shengge.

How about giving him a Sword Attendant?

A novel idea popped into Chu Yue's mind, and he immediately said:

"Old Ancestor, how about we give Qiankun Daozi a Sword Attendant?"

"Sword Attendant..." The Sword Sect Old Ancestor pondered when he heard it.

Compared to inanimate objects, a Sword Attendant from the Sword Sect was indeed an excellent choice.

In the future, when Qiankun Daozi achieves success in Cultivation, the Sword Attendant will surely also gain something. Even if he cannot Ascend with him, he can stay and protect the Dao Sect, and the Lingxiao Sword Sect might even receive a favor in return.

After a while, the voice of the Sword Sect Old Ancestor came from inside the Immortal Cave again.

"Good, then give Qiankun Daozi a Sword Attendant. As for the candidate for the Sword Attendant, you shall decide. Be sure to choose a Disciple with a strong sense of belonging to the Sword Sect."

Chu Yue: "Yes, this Disciple understands."

"Also, this item shall be given to Qiankun Daozi along with the Sword Attendant."

An ancient jade flew out from inside the Immortal Cave and landed in Chu Yue's hand. Chu Yue carefully put away the ancient jade, bowed, and then left the Immortal Cave on the mountain peak.

...

Ten Thousand Sword City, Golden Punishment Hall.

Canglang, Kurong, and Lieyan, the three Sword Masters, stood by Xuan Yuan Jingshen's side, quietly waiting for him to recover.

A moment later, after Xuan Yuan Jingshen expelled the last trace of lightning remaining in his body, he let out a long breath. The turbid Qi was scorching hot, distorting the air and producing a faint burnt smell.

Feeling the injuries in his body, Xuan Yuan Jingshen couldn't help but exclaim:

"Qiankun Daozi, terrifying indeed!"

His tone carried an unconcealed fear, as well as relief.

Fortunately, Qiankun Daozi had only attacked him once, otherwise, Xuan Yuan Jingshen would have been in danger.

A Soul Transformation Fourth Heaven Cultivator defeated by a Nascent Soul Cultivator, throughout history, perhaps only he, Xuan Yuan Jingshen, was the one.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan Jingshen actually felt a trace of pride, but he quickly extinguished this thought.

No! What am I thinking!

Defeated by a Nascent Soul Cultivator in one move, if this were to spread, wouldn't I lose all face and be nailed in history!

As for retaliating against Gu Shengge, after witnessing his power, Xuan Yuan Jingshen had already given up on that idea.

Xuan Yuan Jingshen looked at Canglang Sword Master and the others, and warned in a deep voice: "Regarding today's matter, I hope you keep it a secret and do not let outsiders know."

Canglang Sword Master and the others: "We understand!" x3

"Brother Xuan Yuan, are we still targeting Zhenyue?" Kurong asked.

Xuan Yuan Jingshen was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"There's no need. Now the Old Ancestor strongly supports Zhenyue and has even given him the Sword Ancestor Token, clearly intending for him to suppress us and take control of the Sword Sect. But thankfully, it's only for a hundred years."

A hundred years is a Mortal's lifetime, but for them, these Soul Transformation Celestial Beings, a hundred years is not long; it passes by in a single retreat.

However, Lieyan Sword Master disagreed: "Brother Xuan Yuan, a hundred years is enough for Zhenyue to reshuffle the Sword Sect. I think we still need to continue suppressing him."

"You say it so easily, how do we suppress him? The Old Ancestor is behind him. Do you intend to defy the Old Ancestor?"

Xuan Yuan Jingshen's face darkened as he questioned Lieyan Sword Master. The Old Ancestor, as the Sword Sect's pillar, was not someone they could shake.

Lieyan Sword Master shook his head. He wouldn't dare defy the Old Ancestor, but he had other ways to force Zhenyue to relinquish power.

"Brother Xuan Yuan, we are the Sword Masters of the Sword Sect. The Disciples under our command account for more than half of the Sword Sect. At that time..."

Swish!!

A sharp, space-ripping golden Qi Sword, like a golden eagle, pounced towards Lieyan Sword Master. The eagle's talons seemed capable of tearing apart everything. In an instant, they grazed Lieyan Sword Master's forehead, cutting off a strand of his hair!

At the same time, Lieyan Sword Master felt three immense Sword Intents envelop him, making him unable to move.

Lieyan Sword Master's body trembled slightly, his pupils contracted violently, looking at Xuan Yuan Jingshen and the others with extreme bewilderment, very confused.

Xuan Yuan Jingshen coldly stared at Lieyan Sword Master, and questioned in a deep voice: "Li Yan, have you forgotten what I said earlier? Or are you trying to split the Sword Sect!"

Canglang and Kurong also looked at Lieyan Sword Master unkindly, locking onto him with their own Sword Intent!

Feeling the three layers of Sword Intent enveloping him, Lieyan Sword Master swallowed, and said with a trembling voice:

"Xuan, Brother Xuan Yuan, you, you listen to my explanation..."
