Ling Yunpo was startled, but asked back:

"Why do you say that?"

Before Guan Shanyue could answer, An Zhisu angrily rebuked him coldly:

"Nonsense! Guan Shanyue, if you intend to go ahead and provoke us, Qingluo Peak will not welcome you!"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister An. I was just joking." Guan Shanyue said with a smile, "Now everyone in the sect is discussing what kind of evil treasure could allow the five sects of the Demon Sect to unite and besiege our Shushan."

"It doesn't matter." Ling Yunpo shook his head, revealing a nonchalant look. "No matter what kind of evil treasure it is, we Shushan Sword Immortals can't use it, so why hide it?"

"Maybe he's planning to sell it." Guan Shanyue seemed to be thinking about something. "Since he can't use it, wouldn't it be better to exchange it for a Taoist treasure of the same rank?"

"How can such a treasure be exchanged so easily?" An Zhisu said coldly.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Guan Shanyue said with a smile, "I came here this time because I have something to ask of you two from Qingluo Peak."

"Come, Guan Zhan, come and meet the two real people."

Lingyunpo: ???

Behind Guan Shanyue, Guan Zhan walked in coldly with a sword in his arms and nodded slightly in greeting.

"My cousin originally became a disciple of Kunlun." Guan Shanyue said leisurely, "Now he is the chief of the foundation-building realm of Kunlun."

Guan Zhan's face turned dark. This position of the chief in the Foundation Establishment Realm was given to him because Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Sister Xu were both promoted to the Golden Core stage, and then several other senior brothers had their turns. After these senior brothers had formed the Golden Core stage one after another, the position fell on his head. So he did not feel proud, but rather very ashamed.

"A few days ago, he was sent to my Shushan to do some work in the Demon Locking Tower." Guan Shanyue sighed, "Unexpectedly, he happened to be besieged by the Demon Cult and couldn't get out."

Ling Yunpo understood: what do you mean? Actually, it was the Guan family's ancestor who asked Guan Zhan to go to the Demon Locking Tower to find Yunhai Kongjian, so as to accelerate his thirty years of cultivation.

Seeing that he saw through it but didn't say it, Guan Shanyue smiled and said:

"These days, he has been practicing sword alone on Cuizhu Peak."

"I saw that he was not getting the right way to practice like this, and I remembered that Junior Brother Ling and Senior Sister An often practiced sword fighting, so I thought of asking him to come and practice with them. If he could gain some experience from the defeat, it would not be a waste of time."

Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu looked at each other for a moment. Seeing that his senior sister had no objection, Ling Yunpo smiled and said:

"If it's just sword training, it's fine... But my sister and I are both at the Jindan level, so we have too much advantage in terms of our bones. Even if Fellow Daoist Guan just fights with us, he will still be at a disadvantage in terms of strength."

"...It's okay." Guan Zhan finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "It's just a contest of swordsmanship."

Since you, Junior Brother Guan, are going to be tortured, you can’t blame us.

So it was settled that Guan Zhan would stay in Qingluo Peak temporarily. Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu would not teach him anything, but would give him some training during their usual sparring sessions.

The matter itself was harmless, so it was a good opportunity to do a favor.

After Guan Shanyue left, Ling Yunpo led Guan Zhan to his residence and said:

"Our Qingluo Peak is quite quiet. You can choose any of the guest rooms on the right."

"Then I'll live in the innermost room." Guan Zhan immediately said tactfully, "I don't mean to disturb your world of two."

Ling Yunpo was very satisfied with his choice and said:

"My senior sister and I will practice swordplay once at noon and once at dusk. You can come find us at these times."

"Fellow Daoist Guan is a guest from afar. You can do as you please the rest of the time. There is no forbidden area in our Qingluo Peak."

"Okay." Guan Zhan nodded coldly, then held his sword and went to the room he had chosen.

After settling Guan Zhan, Ling Yunpo returned to the main hall and saw Senior Sister An waiting for him outside.

"Speaking of Guan Zhan, I suddenly have some impression of him." An Zhisu thought thoughtfully.

"The last time I went back to Yangzhou with my sister to pay homage to my mother, I did see these two siblings." Ling Yunpo said with a smile.

"That's not the point." An Zhisu said uncertainly, "I remember a certain peak master of Shushan was Guan Zhan's father?"

Lingyunpo:?

Well, the Guan family has been swordsmen for generations, so that's normal... I didn't expect you to be a second-generation swordsman! Why haven't I heard you say that before?

However, the father was the Yuanying elder in Shushan, but the son ran to Kunlun. Just imagine what the relationship between father and son was like.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, the two of them flew on their swords to the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain and attended the sect's conference in the Patriarch Hall.

I saw that the Patriarch Hall was crowded with people, almost everyone was dressed in green and carrying a sword. Those who were chatting in groups were the Golden Elixir Sword Immortals.

Looking at both sides of the hall, there were people standing around in the empty space, each of them holding their breath with their eyes closed. They were the masters of Yuanying Peak.

"Let's not talk about small talk." The head of Yujing said, attracting everyone's attention. "Now the Demon Cult is surrounding our Shushan with great momentum. What do you think?"

"I have something I would like to ask the head of Yujing and everyone else." Elder Biyun, the head of Cuizhu Peak, asked coldly, "Since the Demon Cult is so arrogant, why don't we in Shushan fight them out?"

"The Demon Cult is powerful, and it would be unwise to confront them head-on." The head of Yujing replied.

Ling Yunpo laughed in his heart when he heard this, he was worthy of being the master, he could say "can't win head-on" so refreshingly and elegantly, his emotional intelligence was really high.

“If you can’t defeat them head-on, why not ask for help from Kunlun?” Elder Biyun asked again.

"Asking for help from Kunlun is an admission that Shushan is weak." Elder Shen Ce, the head of Jingang Peak, said indifferently, "How can we compete with Kunlun for the leader of the Orthodox Sect if we are so humiliated?"

"Now that we are blocked at the mountain gate by the Demon Cult, unable to enter or leave, isn't it embarrassing?" Elder Biyun waved his sleeves vigorously and said angrily, "The sect meeting has been held for a few days, and what decision has been discussed? In my opinion, it is better for everyone to go out of the mountain gate directly and challenge the Demon Cult to a one-on-one battle!"

"That's not impossible." Elder Minghua of Ziyun Peak said leisurely, "Whether the Demon Cult wants to fight or make peace, to fight or negotiate, we have to make a decision in the end. We can't drag it on here indefinitely."

"That's right!" The Jindan Zhenren at the back started to make noise.

To put it bluntly, everyone is tired of being locked up in Shushan and is eager to go out for a stroll...

"Silence!" the head of Yujing shouted, "Stop making noise!"

The Jindan Zhenren calmed down.

"If anyone has any opinions, please give me your feedback and I will go and consult the immortal!" Master Yujing said impatiently, and asked a real person to stay here to receive messages, and then he walked away.

Everyone in the hall gathered around and told the immortal their demands and had them recorded.

Ling Yunpo listened for a while from behind and found that most of them were looking for a fight, not caring whether they could win or not. They just wanted to fight first.

Of course, there are also people who think that the Demon Cult is too powerful and cannot be defeated... But if they say this on the spot, they will definitely be rebuked by the pro-war faction, so these people can only say "We must fight, but we must be careful."

Ling Yunpo sneered at this: Among these Shushan sword immortals, those without brains are beating their heads hard, while those with brains dare not say a word. No wonder they are despised by the outside world as Shushan reckless men.

When the immortal asked all the questions, it was An Zhisu's turn, and the senior sister said without hesitation:

"I have the same opinion as my junior brother."

The immortal turned to look at Ling Yunpo again, only to see Ling Yunpo saying righteously:

"How dare you block the gate of Shushan Mountain? This is no longer an ordinary dispute."

“I think it’s necessary not only to fight, but also to punch hard!”
