Ning Hong then traded the pills she had refined with the Sword Seeking Sect for two longswords.

But the guards of the peak did not believe it.

They still refused to let them in.

Disciples passed by in twos and threes along the way, and seeing Ning Hongze and her brother in a stalemate with the peak guard, they couldn't help but feel curious.

However, some people did recognize Ning Hongze and Ning Xiaocao.

He exclaimed with delight, "Senior Brother Ning!"

When Ning Hongze left Hanxu Sect for training, he was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. This person is only in the Golden Core realm now, so naturally he needs to call him Senior Brother.

"Senior brother, you're finally back."

His shout attracted quite a few people.

Ning Hongze made a name for himself at the Pill Cultivation Competition, and many disciples were eagerly awaiting his pills. Who knew that he would go off to train and remain gone for thirty years? Now he has finally returned.

The guards were somewhat taken aback when they heard these people shout such a thing.

Is this person really Ning Hongze?

If it really is Ning Hongze, then his cultivation level must be higher than his.

The guard bowed and respectfully greeted him, "Senior brother, I apologize for my rudeness just now."

"It's alright, it's your duty, I understand."

Now that their identities have been clarified, the guards will naturally no longer stop Ning Hongze and her brother.

The two of them stepped directly onto their flying swords and headed towards the sixth peak.

"They finally have flying swords."

The wooden sticks from back then were truly embarrassing.

One of the disciples remarked with emotion.

"Wait, they're heading towards the sixth peak—"
