However, Lu Xuansheng's Dao heart gave him a warning, which immediately made him alert. The so-called Dao heart warning can be simply understood as a cultivator's sixth sense.

Because those who practice cultivation comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth and cultivate their body, mind and soul, their sixth sense is by no means illusory, but a real "sensation".

Lu Xuansheng felt a little hesitant. Daoxin's warning was not groundless. If he forced it, there would definitely be unexpected changes.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuansheng decided to return to Gushan first and make some plans later. It would be a small matter if he were in danger, but if he was suddenly exposed, it would be a big deal if he alerted the enemy.

So Lu Xuansheng turned around and left immediately, but unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a clear and bright long sword suddenly stabbing towards his face.

Lu Xuansheng was horrified and hurriedly used his magic power to protect his body. With a slight "squeak" sound, the golden light that Lu Xuansheng's magic power used to protect his body was instantly pierced by the sword.

Then the long sword suddenly slashed down, and with a "swish" sound, it cut off one-third of Lu Xuansheng's face.

Half of Lu Xuansheng's right face was cut off, including the skin and bones, and his gums and tongue were clearly visible with blood.

Lu Xuansheng was not panicked despite the pain. He raised his hand and shot out a "wind, fire and thunder". The wind and fire rose, and the lightning leaped and crackled towards the sword-wielding man in front of him.

Although the sword-wielding man had a higher level of cultivation than Lu Xuansheng, he did not dare to be careless against the Heavenly Thunder Technique and quickly dodged it.

Lu Xuansheng also seized the opportunity and immediately flew towards Gushan.

However, just as he flew ten miles outside the city, he heard someone shouting from below: "Daoist Lu Xuansheng, be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuansheng hurriedly turned around and saw a sword light coming in an instant. With a "swish" sound, it pierced through Lu Xuansheng's back, and the sword light came out from the right front chest with blood.

"Friend Lu, you can't fly over him, quickly fall down from the formation!" the voice shouted again.

Lu Xuansheng vomited blood, and immediately used all his strength to activate his magic power, turning into a rainbow light and falling down.

The sword light also followed Lu Xuansheng. When Lu Xuansheng fell, the speed of the sword light was even faster than Lu Xuansheng's falling speed.

However, at this moment, a ray of ochre light suddenly rose up, instantly enveloping Lu Xuansheng and blocking the sword energy outside.

"Clang!" The sword energy seemed to have hit a solid wall, and instantly shattered into a piece of spiritual light on the ochre light.

At this time, a sword light slowly fell, and a young man with a clear face, upright posture and handsome appearance appeared on the thick earth and rock formation.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he then asked calmly, "What kind of formation is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Then, the man looked at the formation below and said, "Lu Xuansheng of Yuhua Temple, the five of you... the auras on you are very familiar. Could you be from Shaoyang Mountain?"

At this moment, the five people from Shaoyang Mountain below had helped Lu Xuansheng to the center of the formation and sat down cross-legged, taking out pills to heal his wounds.

After hearing the young man's words, the five stood up, blocking Lu Xuansheng behind them, and each of them clasped their fists and said, "Liu Youming of Shaoyang Mountain, greetings to fellow Taoist."

"Sun Youqing from Shaoyang Mountain."

"Zhang Youhan from Shaoyang Mountain."

"Wu Youde from Shaoyang Mountain."

"Zhou Youfang of Shaoyang Mountain."

After the five of them saluted the young man, Liu Youming, the leader, asked, "I wonder which sage in the Zhenyang Dao Palace you are?"

The young man held a long sword upside down in his left hand, and with his right hand forming a sword finger, he bowed and said, "I am Lan Jianling, a disciple of the third generation of the Zhenyang Dao Palace."

Hearing this name, Liu Youming and the other three gasped and asked in surprise, "Lan Jianling? You've also joined the Zhenyang Dao Palace?"

Lan Jianling, one of the two most famous sword cultivators in Dongsheng Shenzhou, has the Xuanxian Taoism and wields a top-grade magic weapon, the 'Taigeng Sword'. He once achieved a record of killing Taiyi Xuanxian with his Xuanxian Taoism, and is also very famous in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Lan Jianling's success was primarily due to three factors. First, he practiced the ancient sword technique, the "Hunheng Mangshi Sword Sutra," which was incredibly powerful.

Secondly, he is extremely talented, and he has a top-grade magic weapon, the 'Taigeng Sword', in his hands, which makes him even more powerful.

Third, his physical body is of extremely high quality, it is the physical body of the 'Xuanli Martial God' grade. He is one of the rare cultivators who does not focus on magic and supernatural powers, but on physical martial arts.

Lan Jianling asked seriously, "Could it be that I can't join the Zhenyang Dao Palace?"

Liu Youming and the others were speechless for a moment, and then Zhang Youhan asked again, "Why are you in Huacheng?"

Lan Jianling smiled and said, "Master Qianyuan had already predicted that someone would attack Huacheng Zhenyang Palace, so he sent me here to guard it. I didn't expect it to be someone from your Yuhua Temple and Shaoyang Mountain."

Liu Youming asked, "Fellow Daoist, you have always been a solitary person, pursuing the Way of the Sword as your lifelong pursuit. Why have you now joined the Zhenyang Palace and become an accomplice of this evil?"

Lan Jianling said calmly, "The True Yang Dao Palace is the legacy of Laojun. I have converted to the True Yang Dao Palace. How can I be said to be an accomplice to the evil?"

After saying this, Lan Jianling switched to holding the sword in his right hand, pointed the tip of the sword at Liu Youming and the others, and said, "You have been possessed by the external demon. This time, I will take your heads and report to the three ancestors."

"Are we... true demons from outside the sect?" Liu Youming and others looked incredulous, but at this time Lan Jianling's sword energy had already fallen towards the thick earth and rock formation.

There was a loud 'boom' and the thick earth and rock formation shook violently, and huge cracks appeared on the ground in an instant.

But despite this, the thick earth and rock formation remained motionless, firmly rooted in the earth veins, with no signs of damage.

"This man is very powerful. We are definitely no match for him. We should stabilize the formation first and send a letter for help." Liu Youming turned around and said to his four fellow apprentices.
