When they arrived ten meters in front of the gate of Qingxuan Sect, Qin Keqing stopped and everyone else stopped as well.
Qin Keqing stepped forward, flashed the Sect Master's order, saluted the guardian, and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "I am the disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, Senior Sister Qin Keqing, and I am ordered by the Sect Master to lead all the disciples into the Sword Tomb to search for the Spirit Sword. Please let us pass."
The guardian remained cross-legged with his eyes closed, and did not respond.
Ever since Chu Nan approached the sword tomb, the sword intent bead in his dantian began to become restless.
In fact, Chu Nan was not only busy refining talismans in the sect's forbidden area, but was also studying the sword bead in his body. The last time the sword bead erupted, it was wrapped in Chu Nan's essence and blood. After the sword bead absorbed Chu Nan's essence and blood, it had become harmonious with the talismans and would basically not erupt again.
Chu Nan even had a feeling that sooner or later he would be able to master the sword bead and even comprehend the way of the sword through it.
But as they approached the sword tomb, the sword bead began to stir for some reason. Because of the agitation of the sword bead, the magic mist that was thought to have been wiped out actually revealed a trace.
The devilish mist began to infect the sword bead, as if it wanted to regain control of the sword bead and thus infect Chu Nan with evil, which made Chu Nan terrified.
Suddenly, the sword intent bead trembled, and an imperceptible sword intent spread out from Chu Nan's body.
Qin Keqing and Long Aotian, two innate sword bodies, suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Nan, while the inner disciples including Li Xian and others had no reaction. They just wondered if something happened to Chu Nan that caused the two disciples to look at him suddenly.
In fact, when the sword intent was released, if someone paid close attention to the guardian, they would see that his brows slightly frowned.
The demonic fog in the sword orb in Chu Nan's body became thicker, which means that the infection on the sword orb was strengthened a little more.
Chu Nan did not dare to be careless. Regardless of the fact that he was in front of the sword tomb, he sat cross-legged and immersed his whole mind in his dantian.
Although he could not control the Sword Intent Pearl, the Sword Intent Pearl absorbed his essence and blood. He could use his essence and blood, as well as the runes in his body, to jointly eliminate the demonic fog within the Sword Intent Pearl.
The sword bead was strangely fixed in the dantian, motionless, but it only looked calm on the surface, but in fact, everything inside was turned upside down.
The magic fog that had almost disappeared suddenly showed no sign of weakness and appeared, looking like it was ready to fight to the death.
The red essence and blood within the sword bead were entangled with the devilish mist, fighting for it in an extremely fierce manner.
Chu Nan had a feeling at this moment. It was not because he was close to the sword tomb that the aura of the sword attracted the sword bead, but because there might be something in the sword tomb that caused the demonic resonance hidden deep within the sword bead.
clang!
The balance of power within the Sword Intent Pearl seemed to be broken, and the Sword Intent Pearl trembled violently.
Suddenly, a clear sword intent spread out, and this time even Li Xian, Yang Yongdong, and Hu Xianxu felt it.
At the same time, an almost imperceptible demonic energy spread out, which even Qin Keqing did not feel.
But the next moment, the guardian suddenly opened his eyes, disappeared from his original place, and appeared in front of Chu Nan, looking at Chu Nan with burning eyes and a solemn expression.
Qin Keqing bowed and asked, "Guardian Elder, may I ask what happened to Junior Brother Chu Nan?"
The guardian of the sword tomb did not answer, but frowned, then sat cross-legged in front of Chu Nan, closed his eyes, and pointed his right hand like a sword at Chu Nan's dantian.
In an instant, a powerful sword energy rose from Chu Nan's body like a tornado, extremely sharp and piercing into his skin.
Qin Keqing was slightly stunned.
But Li Xian and others were shocked.
Isn’t Chu Nan a talisman cultivator? Why can he unleash such powerful sword energy? Is he also a sword cultivator?
Or, this sword energy did not come from Chu Nan, but from the guardian of the sword tomb.
Most people prefer the latter.
The guardian of the sword tomb still kept his sword pointing at Chu Nan's dantian, and a trace of indescribable charm flowed between him and Chu Nan.
He still had his eyes closed and suddenly said, "You go into the Sword Tomb."
After he finished speaking, the heavy sword tomb slowly opened its door with a creaking sound, and the sword energy within the sword tomb swept over like an overwhelming force.
Almost at the same time, the sword energy rising from Chu Nan became even more fierce.
Qin Keqing was worried about Chu Nan, so she instructed Long Aotian, "You lead the disciples into the Sword Tomb, and Li Xian, Yang Yongdong, and Hu Xianxu will assist you."
Long Aotian looked at his follower number one, Chu Nan, with admiration, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then walked into the sword tomb with his head held high.
"Enter the Sword Tomb." Li Xian and the other two gave an order, and everyone followed.
Qin Keqing didn't know what had happened to Chu Nan, but seeing the solemn expression on the sword tomb guardian's face, she knew it was not a good thing.
A quarter of an hour later, the guardian of the sword tomb put away his sword, looked deeply at Chu Nan with his old and wise eyes, and suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he sat cross-legged on the right side of the gate, motionless, as if he had never left.
As the Sword Tomb Guardian left, the storm of sword energy that surged into the sky disappeared, and Chu Nan returned to calm. Soon he opened his eyes, stood up, and bowed deeply to the Sword Tomb Guardian, "Thank you for your protection."
Qin Keqing asked with concern, "What happened to you just now?"
"It's okay." Chu Nan pointed to the sword tomb and said, "Shall we go in?"
Qin Keqing nodded and did not ask any further questions because there was no need. Chu Nan's inner thoughts would answer her doubts.
As expected, Chu Nan’s thoughts soon came out.
[It was a close call. The evil within the Sword Intent Orb almost overturned. Fortunately, the Sword Tomb Guardian intervened in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.]
Even if the demonic energy within the Sword Intent Orb erupted, he could still suppress it with the aid of the runes, his blood essence, and the wolf-hair brush imbued with the Heavenly Dao's words. However, it would certainly not be as decisive as the Sword Tomb Guardian's attack. Leveraging the Sword Tomb Guardian's power, he directly eliminated most of the demonic energy, leaving only a tiny amount lurking deep within the Sword Intent Orb.
[If nothing unexpected happens, I will no longer be troubled by the devilish nature. As my realm improves, sooner or later I will be able to completely erase the devilish nature within the sword orb.]
Qin Keqing was shocked. She never thought that Chu Nan had just experienced such a dangerous scene.
And from Chu Nan's inner voice, we know that the evil nature has not been completely erased, which means there is still a risk of becoming possessed by the devil.
According to Chu Nan’s own prediction, Ye Chenjian will destroy Qingxuan in the future because Qingxuan Sect has turned into a demon. So is it because of Chu Nan that they turned into a demon?
In other words, the root cause of the sect’s destruction lies with Chu Nan?
A murderous intent flashed across Qin Keqing's mind.
The guardian of the sword tomb must have known that there was still evil in Chu Nan's body. He did not directly take action to eliminate this potential evil cultivator. He must have his own reasons. But what was this reason?
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time. Qin Keqing looked at Chu Nan with a complicated look.
