When An Zhisu returned to Shushan, he saw that the mountain was in chaos, but he didn't know what had happened.

She grabbed a passing Shushan swordsman and realized that a big monster in the Demon Locking Tower had escaped.

Due to concerns that the other party would come back for revenge, the entire sect went into martial law.

Rushing back to the Da'e Mountain Patriarch Hall, Su Jian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw An Zhisu finally coming back from outside:

"You're back just in time. A big monster has recently escaped from the tower. You should not leave the mountain for the next few days, or you may be attacked and retaliated by the monster."

"What kind of monster is it?" An Zhisu asked subconsciously.

"Yinglong." Su Jian frowned and said, "This monster has already reached the immortal level. Although we in Shushan are not afraid of him, if he specifically attacks lone disciples, it will eventually be a troublesome matter."

An Zhisu nodded. Since it was an immortal-level enemy, there would be seniors like the Changmei Immortal and the Guan family's ancestor to deal with it.

"By the way, this time I came back, I have something to tell Master..."

About a quarter of an hour later, Su Jian felt suffocated.

Since he entered the Dao, he has slain countless powerful enemies with his sword and never been defeated. Even Yinglong cannot make him feel the slightest fear.

But this biological daughter really made him feel suffocated... She just went to find a junior fellow apprentice, how come she came back with a child?

Something's wrong!

After listening to An Zhisu's words again, Su Jian finally came to his senses.

That's fine. Emotionally, the two of them were already in love, so it was not up to me as a father to object; rationally, tying up such a saint who was destined to have great merit in Shushan would also be good for the sect...

What good is that! This guy even married two other Taoist partners! I wish I could kill this heartless and heartless beast with my own hands!

Seeing Su Jian's ugly face, An Zhisu guessed what his father was thinking and quickly explained:

"Junior brother, he had no choice. After all, he was involved in three sects at the same time, playing different roles. It was normal for him to be admired by women."

"But Qiongying and Dongyou are not easy to deal with!" Su Jian said sternly, "How can my daughter share a Taoist partner with others, especially these two!"

"Who said I want to share with them?" An Zhisu asked in surprise, "Master, do you want me to give my brother to them?"

"Father certainly didn't mean that." Su Jian quickly explained, "I just worry that you'll suffer..."

"If you give up on yourself and complain about yourself because you can't accept this kind of thing, or even take your anger out on others, then you're at a disadvantage." An Zhisu said calmly, "Besides, my master has taught me since I was a child that practicing Taoism is about fighting against the heavens, fighting against others, and fighting against yourself."

"Will Master blame God for being unfair just because he suddenly has two more opponents?"

"That's the truth." On the one hand, Su Jian agreed with his daughter's concept of self-reliance, but on the other hand, he felt it was not worth it for her.

However, since An Zhisu had already made up her mind and was already pregnant, he certainly would not force his daughter to break off her relationship with Qingheng, so he asked in a deep voice:

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Let's wait for Junior Brother to mend the sky first." An Zhisu said after thinking, "After the sky is mended, we must try to keep him here instead of letting him ascend to heaven on the spot."

"After we stay here, whether we return to Kunlun, Penglai, or Shushan, that will be a matter of our own abilities."

"Hmm..." Su Jian thought about it carefully and there didn't seem to be any problem.

Qing Heng became a saint after repairing the sky. He cannot be kept by force. In the final analysis, it all comes down to feelings.

Speaking of this, whether in appearance, figure, personality, or the relationship accumulated from daily interactions, who can compare to my daughter?

Su Jian's protective nature kicked in, and he subconsciously felt that compared to his own daughter, people like Qiongying and Dongyou were just mediocre women.

However, we still have to be on guard against Kunlun and Penglai, who will be desperate and know they can't win against Jiang Xiao. At that time, they will send thousands of troops to block the road and take the opportunity to trick Qing Heng away with Qiongying Dongyou...

Thinking of this, Su Jian asked in a deep voice:

"How many people do you need?"

After all, they are father and daughter, so they are in sync with each other in this regard. An Zhisu also replied:

"We don't need many. Just a dozen good fighters will do."

"You really know how to give me a difficult problem." Su Jian said with a smile, "How many peak masters are there in Shushan?"

"It doesn't matter if Master doesn't give it to me." An Zhisu said calmly, "What do I have to fear?"

"But you can't say that." Su Jian frowned slightly, "The Taiyin Sword Master is originally a disciple of our Shushan, and he has returned after completing the plan to repair the sky. We can't let Kunlun Penglai take him away."

"It's just that Yinglong has escaped, and the faction needs to be on high alert right now. We really can't mobilize too many people. Let's wait for the immortal to come back."

"Okay." An Zhisu hesitated to speak.

"Anything else?" Su Jian could see that she seemed to have something else to say.

"My junior fellow apprentice's and my child." An Zhisu was silent for a long time, then whispered, "Father...won't you give him a name?"

…

However, a thousand miles away from the southeast of Tianlou, the Penglai group had found a small island.

"Please, seniors, please stay here for a while." Shi Liuli instructed, "The whereabouts ahead are unknown at this time, so it's not easy to alert the enemy. I will go alone."

The elders of Penglai looked at each other, and after a while someone asked:

"Dongyou, since it's the immortal who gave the order, we are of course willing to obey. But at least tell us who we are going to deal with this time, so that everyone can be prepared."

"It's not that I don't want to explain." Shi Liuli said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that if I say it in advance, it will put a psychological burden on everyone."

"Now that you mention it, we already have a psychological burden." Another Penglai elder said with a wry smile, "In that case, let's take out our best skills."

Everyone present was an elder from various sects. Most of them had received worship from Elder Shi Ding and knew that Shi Liuli would soon take over the position of the head of Penglai. So they were naturally happy to give her face and deployed many of their best tactics, whether formations, talismans or magic weapons, on the island.

Although they have a serious lack of practical experience, when it comes to building a strong camp, fighting a stupid battle, and competing to see who can consume more energy, the Penglai Yuqing Temple is still not afraid of any of the heroes in the world in this regard.

The reason why Shi Liuli chose an island as the base for Penglai's garrison was naturally due to this consideration.

Almost on the same day, Xu Yinglian led the Kunlun elders of the Tiannan Xu family faction and arrived at a location about 800 miles away from the southeast Tianlou.

"Please, seniors, hide in the seabed nearby." Xu Yinglian instructed, "I will notify you when the time comes."

"Alright." One of the Kunlun elders asked, "Should we deploy a few people to investigate the surrounding area?"

Xu Yinglian thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Not yet. If there are other people with the same idea, ambushing in this area, it would be bad if they alerted each other."

Everyone thought so. If it was a fight, everyone would not be afraid, but now was not the right time to do it. If they exposed their presence, it would not be appropriate.

Following Xu Yinglian down to the bottom of the sea, she pinched her fingers with her Taoist formula and spit out a bright fire, which quickly burned out a cave that could be used as a shelter on the seabed. She then used her flying sword to cut out tables, chairs and furniture.

The elders of the Xu family looked at her calm and orderly movements, and suddenly a thought came to their mind for no reason: Why does it seem like Xiao Yinglian is very skilled in opening up the underwater cave?

After settling the family elders, Xu Yinglian quickly flew towards the underwater cave alone as if nothing had happened.

On the way, she suddenly saw a purple sword light approaching from the east. It was Shi Liuli who had also returned.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and a feeling of facing a formidable enemy arose in their hearts.

"What a coincidence." Shi Liuli said, "We left on the same day and returned on the same day."

"Indeed." Xu Yinglian sneered in his heart, but smiled on his face, "So, Daoist Fellow Dongyou, have you found any information in Penglai?"

"What about you, Fellow Daoist Qiongying?" Shi Liuli asked with a smile, "Perhaps the information we found is the same."

"How about we write it down on a jade slip?" Xu Yinglian suddenly asked.

"Very good." Shi Liuli nodded.

The two of them took out a jade slip, injected their thoughts into it, and then exchanged it with each other.

I saw three words "Zhenmei Sword" written on Xu Yinglian's jade slip.

And in Shi Liuli's jade slip, there were three words written: "An Zhisu".

An Zhisu had never thought of keeping the matter of the Taiyang Zhenmei Sword a secret, so the two of them had already had an idea - the so-called going back to check the information was just an excuse.

Although it was not stated explicitly what exactly was done after returning, everyone knew it.

Back in the underwater cave, Xu Yinglian had already changed to a cold expression: although she had no divination ability, she could guess what would happen to her senior brother and Shushan Jiangxiao.

So she just rushed to the bedroom with full momentum, ready to catch the adulterer in the act.

Eh? No?

Seeing that Chen Guanshui was not in the bedroom, Xu Yinglian showed a thoughtful expression.

Is it in the smelting room?

That's not right, when did you start caring about the serious matter of mending the sky?

"It's not hidden." Shi Liuli poked his head out from behind her and said in surprise.

"What does Brother Dongyou think he is doing?" Xu Yinglian asked coldly.

"What else can I do?" Shi Liuli smiled slightly, "I'll go to the smelting room and take a look."

When they arrived at the smelting room, they saw Chen Guanshui and Kunlun Jing, staring at the almost melted Bu Tian Stone.

"You said that if this Heaven-Repairing Stone can be melted by high temperature, would it be a flaw?" Chen Guanshui pondered and said, "For example, if I were a demon, I would deliberately draw the fire of the stars and let it burn the leak in the sky for a long time. Would it cause the leak to be damaged again?"

"Of course." Kunlun Mirror replied, "But if the demon has the ability to attract the fire of the stars, then wouldn't it be a faster and more labor-saving method for it to directly attract the stars to hit the sky?"

"What you said does make sense." Chen Guanshui nodded and said, "Since Nuwa has been able to hold on until now after repairing the sky with the five-colored stones, it means there shouldn't be any big problems..."

He turned around and said with a smile:

"The two ladies are back."

Although it was just a simple greeting, somehow both of them felt that the way he said it seemed to deserve a beating.

"Speaking of this, do you have any idea for the final step of smelting the Bu Tian Stone?" Chen Guanshui continued to ask, as if he was unaware.

The two looked at each other, and then Shi Liuli spoke:

"To smelt the Heaven-Repairing Stone, we must use a very high temperature flame. Fellow Daoist Qiongying is worse than me in this area. Why don't we let her speak first?"

Xu Yinglian cursed inwardly, but said:

"There is almost no fire-based method in the world that can be hotter than the earth's fire. But there are quite a few magic weapons. Fellow Daoist Dongyou was born in Tiangong Workshop. Do you have any opinions on this?"

"Let me correct you, fellow Daoist." Shi Liuli said with a smile, "For a thing of the level of Earth Fire, there is almost no magic weapon that can be used for one's own benefit, unless it is an ancient spiritual treasure."

You might as well just say Sun Zhenmei Sword directly... Seeing the two people beating around the bush, Chen Guanshui sighed and said:

"Since you left, I heard from the Sun True Sword that its Sun True Fire can be used to smelt the Sky-Repairing Stone."

"If it's the legendary Sun's True Fire, I think there shouldn't be any problem." Shi Liuli immediately laughed, "It is said that when Fuxi first refined the Zhenmei Sword, he prepared ninety-nine and eighty-one kinds of rare treasures for the sword embryo, but in the end, none of them could withstand the burning of the Sun's True Fire, so he had no choice but to polish it on the innate sun energy itself. I think smelting the Sky-Repairing Stone should not be a problem either."

"But it should consume a lot of true energy." Xu Yinglian also asked curiously, "Who will provide the corresponding consumption? Is it the Sun Zhenmei Sword that provides the source?"

"Senior Sister An has practiced the Shushan Sword Technique with great concentration, and her true energy is abundant and condensed, which can meet the requirements of the Sun Zhenmei Sword." Chen Guanshui replied.

"I see." The two looked at each other again and realized that An Zhisu had decided to compete.

But this was also expected. Everyone knew Shushan Jiangxiao's temperament, and he was practicing the Questioning Love Stream, so how could he give up so easily?

"Your plan has failed." Xu Yinglian transmitted the message in secret, "She did not stop Brother from repairing the sky."

"Indeed." Shi Liuli thought and said, "Based on her temperament, she should have fallen into the trap... I guess she forgot about the Sun True Darkness Sword. This sword spirit is really a variable."

"If Jiang Xiao really masters the Sun Zhenmei Sword, you and I will never be his match." Xu Yinglian added.

"This is not something we can interfere with." Shi Liuli sighed and said, "Let's compete fairly when the time comes."

Fair competition? I won't be fooled by such a trick!

Xu Yinglian sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm:

"Well, let's compete fairly."

At this point, the two had already guessed that the other had also prepared a backup plan, so they tacitly stopped mentioning the matter of cooperation.

After the two ladies left, Kunlun Mirror said quietly:

"By the way, if they take action when you are repairing the sky and try to stop you from ascending on the spot, what will you do?"

"I believe they won't do that." Chen Guanshui said calmly.

Of course, even if the ladies collectively lose their minds and really want to stop me from getting this merit...even if they join forces, what do I have to fear?

He put his hands in his sleeves, and a faint black and white lightning flashed from between his fingers, which quickly dissipated.

That is the lightning of Tai Chi Thunder.
