When gods fight, there are winners and losers, but there are rarely casualties.

On the one hand, it is because immortals have long lifespans and have enough time to practice some troublesome and mysterious techniques, and their life-saving methods are endless and difficult to guard against.

On the other hand, precisely because there are so many means, battles between immortals often involve a sense of propriety, because you never know what ultimate trick the other party has in store that could kill you and them both.

Therefore, although the immortals were all furious in the end, no one died. Only a few immortals from the Demon Sect had their arms cut off by the Liangyi Microdust Sword Formation and retreated back to their formation with pale faces.

Ling Yunpo stayed on the side of Shushan Sword Immortal throughout the whole process, watching with trepidation as the Shushan immortal fought with the opposing side.

It’s just that other sword immortals were worried that the Changmei Immortal would be besieged and killed, while Ling Yunpo was worried that he would be killed by the Changmei Immortal in the future - the power of the Liangyi Microdust Sword was too terrifying, even the Demon Sect immortal shook his head when he saw it. How would he deal with it then?

Even if he managed to obtain the fragments of the Heaven-Bulding Stone by stealing, could he hide it for a lifetime without being caught by the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal?

It's so depressing.

After the Immortal Changmei and other immortals from the Shushan camp returned, they summoned the head of Yujing for a secret talk that night.

The next day, the head of Yujing announced a temporary truce.

This decision is not surprising. After all, it can be explained as "the immortals fought for a long time yesterday and consumed a lot of energy", so they need to take a day off today.

But Ling Yunpo keenly noticed that the monks in the sect's Criminal Law Hall seemed to be much more active. They would call people in for questioning from time to time, and would never say what they were investigating.

However, there are rumors that after the fight with the Demon Cult, they privately sent a message to the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal, saying that someone had indeed stolen a very valuable treasure from the Demon Cult, and they also mocked the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal for only knowing how to maintain the dignity of the sect and allowing his disciples to raise thieves without realizing it.

It is unknown how the Long-browed Immortal reacted at that time, but one can guess that he must have been furious, so he ordered the Criminal Law Hall to conduct a strict investigation of the Golden Core True Man... Why was it the Golden Core True Man?

Because at that time, all the Shushan Foundation Establishment disciples were participating in the sect's competition and no one was going out for training. The Yuanying Peak Master could not conduct a strict investigation, so he could only catch the Jindan Zhenren and torment them.

Not long after, the monks from the Criminal Law Hall found Senior Sister An and politely invited her over for tea.

About a cup of tea later, An Zhisu came back with an unchanged expression, and two monks from the Criminal Law Hall saw her off with a smile on their faces.

"Master Qingheng." The two men said cautiously, looking at An Zhisu's expression from time to time, "Can you come sit over there and chat with us?"

"Of course it's okay." Ling Yunpo Tan said.

Since it was still a wartime state, the monks from the Discipline Hall built a simple hall next to the sword pond on Tianmen Peak and invited Ling Yunpo in.

One of the monks even poured him tea, which was the top-quality Xuemei Qingsun Ling Tea, which could cleanse the body's true essence and calm the mind.

Ling Yunpo sipped his drink slowly while chatting casually with the two practitioners of the Criminal Law Hall. When they talked about An Zhisu, they smiled bitterly and said:

"Master Jiang Xiao is really too sensitive. We just asked her about the last time she went out for the competition, but she kept silent about it and just asked us to come and ask you..."

The two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads, while secretly observing Ling Yunpo's expression.

Ling Yunpo had anticipated this and was well aware of their purpose in coming to him, so he shook his head and sighed, explaining:

"My sister doesn't like dealing with people. I think you all know that."

The two Criminal Law Hall monks looked at each other for a moment and thought to themselves that this was indeed the case. If the Grass-Mowing Sword Immortal didn't cut grass at the slightest disagreement, where did he get this nickname?

"During the last competition, after we followed the Yuanying Elder to the plateau, we were assigned to the southern edge of the plateau to wipe out the remaining remnants of the Demon Cult."

"On the top of a snowy mountain, we found some ruins containing the dried corpses of many Buddhist predecessors."

"When we reached the bottom of the tower, my sister and I separated and searched separately. Suddenly, we heard a sword chant..."

He finished describing the appearance and sword chant of the Wanxiang Juexian Sword vividly, and finally said:

"I tried to stop the sword, but failed, and it rushed out of the ruins with a clang."

The two Criminal Law Hall monks were shocked when they heard this, and immediately asked many more questions. After Ling Yunpo answered all of them, one of them recorded the conversation in a book and hurried out, while the other one sent Ling Yunpo back.

"Don't reveal this to anyone else." The monk warned Ling Yunpo.

"Of course I know." Ling Yunpo also nodded solemnly.

Another cultivator came to the headmaster of Yujing and presented the record of the conversation.

"Ancient shape? Jagged edges?" Master Yujing pondered for a moment and thought to himself, "Could it be the Wanxiang Juexian Sword?"

"Yes, if it is one of the four swords of Jiejiao, it can explain why the Demon Sect made such a big fuss. And it is normal for Master Qingheng to say that he did not stop it. How could Master Jindan stop an immortal-level flying sword?"

"But Qingheng is a very honest person. He actually told the story honestly. Isn't he afraid that the sect will believe him and search him for valuables?"

Thinking of this, Master Yujing did not dare to be negligent. He also instructed the monks of the Criminal Law Hall not to mention this matter to anyone, and then went to see the Long-browed Immortal.

"This must be the Wanxiangjue Immortal Sword!" After hearing what he said, the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal immediately said in a deep voice, "This sword was once obtained by the Western Cult. Later, because of its devilish nature that was difficult to tame, it was suppressed in a remote place. Who would have thought that it was deep in the snowy mountains on the plateau!"

"Yujing, you secretly lead a team and quickly head west to the plateau to look for the sword!"

"Immortal." The head of Yujing Sect bowed and said, "The Demon Sect is bluffing and making a big fuss this time, just to induce tension among us, and then use spies to find the whereabouts of the sword-taker."

"That's right." The Immortal Long Eyebrows agreed, "They must have relied on the resonance of the four swords of Slaughter, Slaughter and Absoluteness to confirm that the Ten Thousand Immortal Swords had appeared in the southwest, but they didn't know where it was exactly or whether it had been obtained by anyone. That's why they came to our Shushan to block the door and provoke us. In fact, they wanted to stir up trouble and wait for an opportunity to act."

"The Immortal will see clearly." The head of Yujing said, "The Demon Cult is most concerned about not defeating Shushan at this moment, but finding the whereabouts of the Wanxiangjue Immortal Sword."

"If we send people to the plateau, they will definitely be targeted and pursued by the Demon Cult, and this information will be leaked instead."

"It would be better to pretend to continue the internal investigation, but find nothing in the end, so that the Demon Cult will think that the person who took the sword is indeed not in Shushan."

"When the Demon Cult turns its attention elsewhere, we will secretly send people to the plateau to look for the trace of the Wanxiangjue Immortal Sword."

The long-browed immortal pondered for a moment, nodded and said:

"Okay, then it's as you said."

"But you must first send someone to watch over Qing Heng. When the time is right, have him lead your people back to the old place and look for the trace of the Juexian Sword!"
