Ever since Su Jian came out of seclusion and became the head monk, An Zhisu's status in Shushan has naturally risen. He has all kinds of resources for cultivation and can take whatever he wants.

However, she did not take the opportunity to squander her Taoist resources to make up for the lost cultivation in the past. She just stayed in the Qingluo Peak Taoist Temple every day, enjoying herself with a pot of wine and a sword.

If Ling Yunpo had not given her the opportunity to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm last time, God knows how many years it would take Senior Sister An to form a baby!

"It's probably still more than half a month before the tribulation." An Zhisu said softly, "Are you asking this because you're worried about Senior Sister?"

"I'm not worried about you, Senior Sister." Ling Yunpo said with a smile, "If the headmaster's daughter can't survive the Nascent Soul Tribulation, then why is the Shushan Shangqing Sect still competing with Kunlun for first place? Just retire."

"How can you say such nonsense?" An Zhisu quickly signaled him to shut up. "Junior brother, you are now the master of Taiyin Sword, you can't say such crazy things. Otherwise, if someone hears you, I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Who dares to mess with Taiyin Sword Master?" Ling Yunpo sneered, "I'll kill him!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and suddenly someone came on a sword, saying that the head of Shushan wanted Ling Yunpo to discuss something.

Ling Yunpo said goodbye to Senior Sister An and left Qingluo Peak on his sword.

An Zhisu looked at Ling Yunpo's back, remained silent for a long time, and returned to the Taoist temple silently.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be an invisible barrier between her and her junior fellow apprentice.

How strange.

When Ling Yunpo arrived deep into the Demon Locking Tower, he saw Su Jian talking to the Long-browed Immortal.

In other words, it was not a very formal sect meeting, but rather a private meeting between master and disciple.

"Qingheng, you came just in time." Su Jian called him closer and asked, "How have you been getting used to the Taiyin Suming Sword recently?"

"It's still the same as before." Ling Yunpo lied skillfully, "As a divine sword, Taiyin Suming is very arrogant and unwilling to be polite to his disciples. Usually, the disciples say three sentences and it answers one sentence."

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Taiyin Suming Sword could no longer endure it and shouted:

"Wow, Master Sword Master! What you said is really shameless!"

"What do you mean by 'unwilling to give an excuse'? I'm just asking you, when was there a time when you asked me for something and I didn't respond in time to help you?"

"If you have the guts, don't order me around anymore! You want to ruin my reputation in front of me, right? As a divine sword, you must be arrogant, right? I'll show you what true arrogance means!"

Su Jian and the Long-browed Immortal outside naturally could not hear all the fierce condemnations coming from it. Upon hearing this, they looked at each other for a moment, looking quite helpless.

Because the Taiyin Suming Sword has been hidden from the world for too long, no one knows what the nature of this sword is, but what Ling Yunpo said is undoubtedly in line with people's imagination of the magic sword.

Isn't it normal for a divine creature to be proud?

It seems that if the Master of Taiyin Sword wants to fully unleash the power of this divine sword, he still has a long way to go.

"Ahem." Su Jian continued, "Master, I probably already know the situation of Taiyin Suming Sword. As for Taiyang Zhenmei Sword... In the past, only you and the last Taiyang Sword Master had dealt with it. Can you tell me the general situation?"

Sun Real Sword? Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then realized that his master was planning to take the Sun Real Sword.

After all, "having obtained Long, they would look forward to Shu" is the nature of the human race. Since we already have the Taiyin Sword Master, why can't we continue to work hard and create a Taiyang Sword Master? It would be abnormal not to think in this direction.

So Ling Yunpo repeated Ouyang Zhao's needs to Su Jian in detail.

"...In short, although Ouyang Zhao died, he still cared about the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, so his heroic spirit is still alive. If we want to obtain the Sun True Darkness Sword from him, we must send someone to obtain intelligence about the Eastern Emperor Realm."

Of course, Ling Yunpo had already obtained the information about the Eastern Emperor Realm.

The problem is that once the Sun True Fire Sword is taken from Ouyang Zhao, the Sun True Fire that separates the two worlds will disappear.

By then, not only will the human race know that the Sun Zhenmei Sword has recognized its master, but the demon race can also invade the world of cultivation through the Tianqian Boundary Gate, and the situation will become extremely complicated.

As a spy, Ling Yunpo naturally hates uncontrollable variables.

Even if one wants to obtain the Sun Sword, one must at least wait until one obtains the fragments of the Sky-Repairing Stone and completes the Sky-Repairing Plan.

After listening to Ling Yunpo, Su Jian was not surprised.

He had actually already discussed the specific situation with the Long-browed Immortal in advance, and now he asked the person involved again just to be on the safe side.

On the Sun Sword's side, the main challenge is to deal with the last Sun Sword Master. However, the opponent's heroic spirit has been immortal for thousands of years, which shows how deep his obsession is. There is definitely no way to get around it from the side.

If we try to fulfill the other person's wish head-on, we will fall into the so-called "egg paradox":

Without the Sun True Darkness Sword, it is impossible to pass through the Sun True Fire and enter the East Emperor Realm.

Without entering the Eastern Emperor Realm, there would be no way to inquire about the news about the wife and daughter of the last Sun Sword Master, and there would be no way to obtain the Sun True Sword.

It's a dead end.

Su Jian sighed deeply and finally gave up the thought. He only heard the long-browed immortal say:

"Qing Heng, I called you here this time not only to ask about the Taiyin and Taiyang swords, but also to tell you something else."

"What do you think of the Shushan Demon Locking Tower?"

Shushan Demon Locking Tower? Ling Yunpo was somewhat bewildered.

You asked me how I saw it. Of course I saw it while flying my sword in the air. How else could I see it?

Unable to figure out the intention of the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal, he organized his words slightly and said slowly and conservatively:

"The Shushan Demon Locking Tower is the important place for Shushan to suppress the demons in the world. It plays a key role in protecting the human race."

"In addition, it also provides Shushan with a large number of precious cultivation resources, so its importance is self-evident."

"Yes." The long-browed immortal nodded and said, "That's generally correct."

"This Demon Locking Tower holds a large number of powerful demons. They are always thinking about breaking out of their confinement and going out to wreak havoc on the human world. Although the Demon Locking Tower itself has powerful restrictions, restrictions are still inert objects after all, and they still need someone to guard them."

"And this guardian must be strong enough and a cultivator that Shushan can absolutely trust. Otherwise, if he colludes with the demons in the tower, the world will be in danger."

Although he said it tactfully, Ling Yunpo could tell clearly that he wanted me to guard the Demon Locking Tower?

Sure! I'm interested in the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone in the forbidden area of ​​the Demon Locking Tower... No, I'm interested in guarding the Demon Locking Tower. Please continue.

“Of course, guarding the Demon Locking Tower is a heavy responsibility of the immortals of all generations, and I have no intention of shirking my responsibility.” Seeing that Ling Yunpo did not show any strange expression, the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal continued cautiously, “But recently Kunlun seems to have obtained clues about the secret realm of Qibao Xuanyuan.”

"If the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden is opened, the Great Light Palace will not be far away. I will go to the Great Light Palace at that time. If you can help guard the Demon Locking Tower and wait for me to come back from the secret realm... that would be great."

The immortal was so humble that Ling Yunpo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked apologetic and readily agreed:

"Since the immortal has summoned me, how dare Qing Heng disobey? Besides, the Demon Locking Tower is an important place in our Shushan Mountain, and it also concerns the safety of the human race. As the master of Taiyin Sword, Qing Heng naturally has no choice but to do this!"

"That's great!" The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal was overjoyed. "In that case, you can stay in the Demon Locking Tower for the next few days. I will explain all the restrictions to you and then transfer the authority to you. Is that okay?"

What does it mean to send a sheep into a tiger's mouth? Ling Yunpo looked serious and nodded, but he sneered in his heart.
