In the Sanyuan Sect territory, somewhere in the wilderness.

Several days of continuous thunderstorms soaked the land, and the cracked earth became moist again under the nourishment of the rain.

The sky cleared up after the rain.

The air became quite fresh, and countless birds stayed on the outskirts of the wasteland, as if something on this land was attracting them.

Shi Qiao tore off his clothes that had been cut into shreds by the sword energy, burned them all with fire, and then took out a brand new gray robe made of fine cloth from his storage bag and put it on.

There was nothing magical about this fine grey robe; it was the same kind of clothing worn by ordinary people on the streets.

But when put on Shi Qiao, it seemed to have a more graceful look.

Jiang Ningyan hovered in the distance intact. After Shi Qiao sheathed the Tianjing Sword, he said calmly, "Not bad, you've made progress."

"In another hundred years, I will be able to fight you to a draw." Shi Qiao looked at Jiang Ningyan and said.

"The war is not fair." Jiang Ningyan showed no emotion, as if she was telling a very ordinary fact.

Shi Qiao did not argue on this issue.

The words of both men showed their pride as sword cultivators.

There is no need to repeat it a second time.

"What do you think?" Shi Qiao said after a pause, "Can I take Sect Master Lu's sword?"

Jiang Ningyan thought for a moment and said, "I can't take it."

"What if Sect Master Lu is at the Nascent Soul stage and uses his sword?"

Jiang Ningyan fell into deep thought. After more than ten seconds, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Shi Qiao sighed.

Because he knew that as long as Jiang Ningyan did not give a positive answer, it meant that he could not take it on.

"You seem a little too impatient."

"Yeah?"

Shi Qiao looked at the ground, thinking and muttering to himself: "It's a pity that those great sword masters are staying indoors. Who else can I turn to in Zhongfu Province..."

"I'm going back to the sect." Jiang Ningyan said again.

"Okay." Shi Qiao raised his head and looked at Jiang Ningyan, "Thank you very much."

"polite."

Jiang Ningyan nodded, turned around and flew towards the Sanyuan Sect's teleportation array.

After flying a short distance, Jiang Ningyan stopped again and turned back to shout, "There have been foreign invasions recently, and the Sect Master might be able to use you. Senior Geng has a subordinate named Qi Renjia, who is unique in swordsmanship."

"good."

Shi Qiao watched Jiang Ningyan fly away.

In this sparring match, Shi Qiao used all his strength, but he couldn't even break Jiang Ningyan's defense! !

No, in fact, Jiang Ningyan didn't defend herself, but her sword moves were all better than hers! !

If it were a real battle, then Shi Qiao would die as many times as there were sword marks on his clothes.

Before Jiang Ningyan broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, the gap between the two people's cultivation had not yet widened to this extent.

Shi Qiao originally thought that he could win at least a few moves out of the hundred.

Unexpectedly, he was completely crushed by Jiang Ningyan!!

"My swordsmanship has taken a similar path to hers. She's ahead of me, so naturally I can't defeat her."

The reason why their kendo skills are similar is naturally due to the influence of Lu Qing.

Although Lu Qing only used a few sword moves, these few moves influenced the two people's understanding of kendo.

The two of them did not follow Lu Qing's swordsmanship blindly, but after seeing Lu Qing's swordsmanship, they thought that this was the path they should take!

"Those few ghost painting fragments are not enough..."

"But where are the fragments of ghost paintings?"

Shi Qiao pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to him.

The friendly face of his senior brother Xuan Shengyun appeared in his mind.

Shi Qiao made up his mind and flew straight towards Zhengxuan Gate.

The main city of Sanyuan Sect.

After Zhang Qin disappeared, Sanyuan Sect fell into chaos.

There was an oppressive atmosphere in the city.

From monks to common people, everyone worried daily about becoming some unfortunate victim of the power struggles at the top. While some sacrifices might not result in life, they could also shatter the livelihoods they had earned by currying favor with the higher-ups.

"Why are you a full quarter of an hour late for your city patrol?"

Wu Niansheng stood on a high platform in a square, looking down at a patrol team consisting of a Qi-refining cultivator and three body-building mortals. His tone was calm, but it exuded the majesty of a superior.

Although the Sanyuan Sect was in chaos, Wu Niansheng was given an important position.

Because of what he had experienced throughout the entire incident, he was also recruited as a member of the confidentiality class.

After all, Wu Niansheng is an orthodox monk of the Sanyuan Sect. Although getting rid of him can keep the secret forever, it is against the rules.

The Qi-refining cultivator looked nervously at Wu Niansheng and explained, "Deacon Wu, this is because Deacon Liu stopped us halfway and asked a few questions..."

Wu Niansheng raised his eyebrows.

This Deacon Liu had the same responsibilities as him, but his strength was one realm higher than his, and his seniority was also older than his. The two of them shared the responsibility of the Sanyuan Sect's main city.

Logically speaking, the two should have kept to themselves, but this team was patrolling the very border between their territories.

Being stopped by Deacon Liu, the team naturally did not dare to ignore it.

Wu Niansheng was also certain that Deacon Liu was here to intimidate him and trip him up.

"Oh, it's okay." Wu Niansheng smiled and said, "If this happens again next time, we can just split up into teams. I assigned so many people to you for this reason."

The Qi-refining monks and several outer disciples who were training their bodies all breathed a sigh of relief.

Deacon Liu wants to sow discord between me and my subordinates, so I can't let him do that.
