154: Sword Fighting

On this day, several powerful auras appeared above the Immortal Cave.

One of them was quite familiar.

Gu Changsheng frowned, then relaxed: "Golden Sword... you've finally come knocking..."

The Restriction opened.

Several figures swept into the courtyard.

The leader was the head of the Enforcement Hall.

"Li Daoyi, you plundered a lower Sect, damaging the Sect's reputation.

According to Sect regulations, today we must capture you. Do not resist!" the heavily armored head of the Enforcement Hall roared.

Beside him, Old Ancestor Golden Sword glared at Gu Changsheng, his eyes splitting with rage, wishing he could devour his flesh and blood.

Gu Changsheng glanced at him, his expression indifferent, and said lightly: "Since when can the Enforcement Hall manage a True Disciple like me?"

Although Shu Mountain has strict rules, it is still a place where might makes right.

For example, the authority and resources of a True Disciple far exceed those of an Inner Sect Disciple.

This is also reflected in the much more lenient standards for punishment.

If Gu Changsheng became a Shu Mountain Elder, Old Ancestor Golden Sword probably wouldn't dare to utter a sound, and the Enforcement Hall wouldn't dare to provoke a Dongxuan Realm Elder.

Hearing this, the head of the Enforcement Hall's expression changed.

Not punishing a True Disciple was an unspoken rule.

Suddenly, seven people stepped out from the side.

The leader was Yan Xing.

His eyes held a hint of playfulness as he laughed: "Li Daoyi, what a grand display... True Disciples are the Sect's treasures, but you can't just act recklessly.

According to Sect rules, your plundering of a Righteous Path Sect is a level seven sin. You must go to the Sword Dueling Platform and fight one against seven. If you survive, all will be forgiven."

The Sword Dueling Platform was equipped with a special Formation, allowing only Shu Mountain sword arts to be used.

Gu Changsheng glanced at him and said indifferently: "Dueling with swords? This Revered Master accepts.

As for the trash of the Enforcement Hall, let alone one against seven, even one against a hundred, I, Li Daoyi, will defeat them with a single sword.

At that time, swords have no eyes, so don't blame me if my sword is merciless."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Enforcement Hall Disciples felt a chill run down their spines.

Suddenly, Yan Xing and the others burst into laughter, pulling out a token engraved with the characters 'Enforcement'.

"Sorry, I, along with several Senior Brothers, have already applied to join the Enforcement Hall and can participate in the sword duel."

"Exactly."

"Li Daoyi, you have met your match today."

"Hmph, the Sword Dueling Platform has special Restrictions that only allow the use of sword arts, greatly suppressing the Physical Body's strength.

At that time, we'll see how you die!"

Several True Disciples all pulled out their tokens.

'The enmity this identity has stirred up is so great...' Gu Changsheng frowned. He had intended to hide and Cultivate in the shadows of Shu Mountain, but it seemed that wouldn't be possible.

'Wait, to target me like this...'

A flash of insight struck Gu Changsheng's mind, and he understood the reason, a look of realization in his eyes.

'Is it for the Revered Master of the Sword Vein a year from now?'

Shu Mountain has eight great Sword Veins.

The Vein Revered Master would naturally be born from the twenty-eight True Disciples.

The Vein Revered Master not only represented a powerful Sword Dao Legacy but also a massive influx of resources.

Previous Vein Revered Masters, at the very least, could Cultivate to the Dongxuan Middle Stage.

Dongxuan Late Stage was the mainstream.

"Three days from now, this Revered Master will personally go to the Sword Dueling Platform to experience your brilliant moves."

After speaking, Gu Changsheng returned to his Immortal Cave without looking back.

"You!"

"Arrogant!"

The others felt as if they had punched cotton; the expected exasperation did not appear.

Yan Xing gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "Li Daoyi, I'd like to see how long you can remain arrogant..."

...Half a day later, the news spread.

"What? The Enforcement Hall is actually going to punish Li Daoyi!"

"Good! This person is arrogant and looks down on everyone. He deserved this misfortune long ago!"

"Hehe, I heard that seven True Disciples couldn't stand it and voluntarily joined the Enforcement Hall. There will be a good show to watch then."

Similarly, there were other dissenting voices.

"Although Li Daoyi made a mistake, he is still a Shu Mountain Disciple.

A mere Cultivator from a lower Sect dares to accuse the upper Sect. This is simply outrageous."

"Recently, many affiliated forces of the Sect have been acting up. A batch of them should be executed as a warning to others."

In the shadows, Gu Luosheng's eyes showed delight: "Li Daoyi, you also have this day!"

Ever since he was defeated by Gu Changsheng with a single punch, his Heart Demon had gradually grown.

Now, not only were his injuries not healed, but his Cultivation progress had also become extremely slow.

"Three days from now will be your death day!"

...Immortal Cave.

A young man with a fat head and big ears stood in the courtyard.

His name was Sun Guangsheng, and he was one of the few merchant Cultivators in the Shu Mountain lineage.

With the help of Sect channels, his wealth was quite substantial.

"True Disciple Daoyi, all the Materials you asked me to collect are here..."

Sun Guangsheng fawningly handed over a Storage Pouch.

Breaking through the Mystic Sword Body to the Major Achievement Realm required many resources unique to Shu Mountain.

Things like Sword Rhyme Fruits, Sword Stones, and Sword Qi Paste... Gu Changsheng simply contacted him.

Now, it seemed, his efficiency was indeed very high.

Gu Changsheng's gaze swept over the items, he nodded, and then decisively threw out a large amount of sword crystals, making Sun Guangsheng's eyes widen.

He licked his lips and smiled broadly: "True Disciple Daoyi is indeed straightforward."

Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, turned around, and said with a frown: "True Disciple Daoyi, this incident is definitely those few True Disciples secretly targeting you.

The Sword Dueling Platform in two days will be a matter of life and death. Why not bow your head and reduce the punishment?

Perhaps in twenty years, you could still contend for other Sword Veins."

Gu Changsheng glanced slightly, his gaze sweeping across Sun Guangsheng's face, and said expressionlessly: "You... talk too much..."

Immediately, Sun Guangsheng choked, his words caught in his throat.

He quickly cupped his hands and bid farewell.

'This Li Daoyi is indeed arrogant and overbearing.

He deserves to die.'

A moment later, the Void Realm trembled, and a woman in white robes, like an immortal, with a thin veil over her face, appeared in the Void Realm.

Gu Changsheng quickly stood up.

The person before him was Li Daoyi's Revered Master, Su Meiqing, a great Cultivator of the Dongxuan Late Stage.

From the soul-searching memories, he learned that Li Daoyi seemed to have other feelings for her.

"Revered Master."

Su Meiqing's gaze swept over him and she said indifferently: "The Sword Dueling Platform, do you have confidence?"

"Absolutely."

"Good."

With that, Su Meiqing flicked her sleeve and left, her decisive manner surprising even Gu Changsheng.

"As expected of one who Cultivates the Heartless Sword... It's a pity I can't see the face beneath the veil."

He was quite interested in the secret arts of a great Cultivator of the Dongxuan Late Stage... Time flew by.

Three days passed in a flash.

Sword Dueling Platform.

At this moment, countless Shu Mountain Disciples had already gathered to watch.

They had witnessed countless sword duels before.

But a True Disciple, one against seven, had never been seen before.

In the distance, an Elder of the Enforcement Hall's eyes flashed with triumph as he transmitted a message to Old Ancestor Golden Sword: "This Old Man has set a death trap.

Li Daoyi is sure to die.

The benefits you promised this Old Man, not a single cent less.

Otherwise... Hmph..."

Old Ancestor Golden Sword quickly agreed: "Naturally, I would never dare to deceive the Elder."

His eyes were filled with hatred, his gaze sweeping into the distance, fixing on Gu Changsheng's face. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour his flesh and blood.

Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the Sword Dueling Platform.

Suddenly, sensing several auras flying in from the horizon, he slowly opened his eyes.

He saw seven figures float down.

"Li Daoyi, your death day has arrived!" Yan Xing sneered.
