Lu Li gave a wry smile. This Immortal of Nanhua really does know everything.

"Then may I ask, where is the Immortal of Nanhua?" Lu Li asked bluntly.

"Master is currently in seclusion," the woman in white said, shaking her head.

Lu Li frowned and said, "Take me to him!"

"I'm sorry, my master is in seclusion and won't see anyone. You may leave," the woman in white said calmly.

"What if I insist on seeing him?" Lu Li raised an eyebrow, his tone turning colder.

"Then please enlighten me!"

The woman in white smiled faintly, then drew a long sword from her back, pointing it directly at Lu Li.

"You? You're no match for me." Lu Li shook his head indifferently.

This girl is only at the peak of the ninth rank. Although she can fight against a junior grandmaster at the beginning stage, Lu Li is not at the junior grandmaster level.

"Whether they're an opponent or not, we'll see after the fight!"

With that, the woman in white leaped into the air, her long sword sweeping across, the fierce and unparalleled wind tearing through the surrounding air.

Lu Li extended one palm and casually grabbed the woman's longsword, preventing her from advancing an inch, and even the blade could not touch Lu Li.

"Hmm?" The woman in white furrowed her brows, sensing Lu Li's formidable strength.

"You are indeed very strong! But you are no match for your master. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise..." The woman in white's expression darkened slightly.

"Shut up!" Lu Li snorted coldly, released his longsword, and extended two fingers, aiming straight for the woman's throat.

The woman quickly used her longsword to block in front of her chest.

"Ding~" Lu Li struck the longsword with his two fingers, and a crisp sound rang out. The woman felt a surge of force, her tiger's mouth was shattered, and the longsword flew out of her hand.

With a muffled thud, the woman in white was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The woman in white glanced at Lu Li in surprise and disbelief, her eyes filled with shock. She never expected that someone with her strength would suffer such a crushing defeat; it was simply unbelievable.

At this moment, Lu Li slowly lifted his foot and walked towards her.

"You...you mustn't do anything rash! Let me tell you...I am a disciple of Lingxu Pavilion. If you touch me, you will surely die!" The woman in white warned, her face pale, as she moved back in fright.

Lu Li glanced at her indifferently and scoffed, "I have no interest in you."

"Nanhua, if you don't come out soon, your precious disciple may be lost!" Lu Li shouted loudly.

As soon as the words were spoken, Lingxu Pavilion suddenly trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse, and an immense pressure descended, enveloping all directions.

A moment later, an old woman with white hair and beard walked out of Lingxu Pavilion.

The old woman's eyes were icy as she stared at Lu Li: "Release her, or else..."

"Otherwise, what can you do to me?" Lu Li sneered, then stomped his right foot. With a loud boom, the earth shook, and an invisible force spread out, enveloping the entire area within a radius of ten feet.

Instantly, the expressions of the woman in white and the old woman froze.

They felt a nameless fear, as if they were in an ancient ice cave, their bodies chilled to the bone, their souls trembling.

"This is... a Martial Venerable?"

The woman in white and the old woman's hearts pounded wildly as they stared at Lu Li in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Lu Li, who looked so young, had actually reached the Martial Venerable realm!

"Who...who exactly are you?" the woman in white asked, her face pale with shock.

“I already said, my name is Lu Li,” Lu Li said with a playful smile.

Then, Lu Li stretched out his right hand, turned it into a claw, and casually sucked the woman in.

"What are you trying to do?" the woman in white shouted in a panic.

Lu Li ignored her, his five fingers hooking around the woman's neck as he said indifferently, "I've heard that the Immortal of Nanhua possesses the art of prophecy? In that case, let him calculate whether you will die today?"

After saying that, Lu Li grabbed the woman by the neck and flung her backward.

The woman was instantly lifted into the air, her body hovering there. Her eyes widened, filled with horror.

"Wait a minute!" the old woman exclaimed anxiously upon seeing this.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Li stared coldly at the old woman.

The old woman took two deep breaths and tried to calm herself down before saying, "The sect leader is indeed in seclusion. However, before she went into seclusion, she left something for me to give to you."

"Oh?" Lu Li raised an eyebrow slightly.

The old woman turned around and went back to Lingxu Pavilion. Then, she came out carrying a broadsword in both hands.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Li's pupils contracted sharply, and the broadsword suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, falling directly into his hand.

"This is...this is Cangwu's sword!" Lu Li's heart trembled violently.

This broadsword originally belonged to the Mo family's sword slave, but it was later forged into a broadsword by Lu Li.

"The sect leader said, this sword is being returned to you!" the old woman said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's eyes welled up with tears.

This broadsword has been with Cangwu for a long time. Seeing it is like seeing Cangwu again.

With that, he waved his hand, and the white-clad woman, who had been under his control, fell to the ground. She clutched her throat and coughed painfully. She was still shaken by the fact that Lu Li had almost crushed her throat.

"Why did you give me the sword?" Lu Li turned around and asked, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked at the old woman in front of him.

The old woman said, "The sect leader said that you still have your own mission to complete, and this sword can be given to Huang Xu."
