"Jiang Yuan, come out!"

"Jiang Yuan, come out!"

"Jiang Yuan."

Jiang Yuan was startled when he heard the voice coming from the distant sky.

This is Just then, a sound came from the distance again.

"Jiang Yuan, I am Guo Ran, you coward, why don't you get out of here quickly? I have already kicked out eight of your fellow apprentices, and you are the only one hiding here!"

As his voice fell.

Several roars suddenly sounded around him.

"A coward——"

"A coward——"

"A coward."

When Jiang Yuan heard these voices, he was speechless.

Were my fellow junior brothers defeated so quickly?

It’s only been a little over an hour, right?

Only me and another junior brother are left? This Guo Ran is quite capable!

But at this point, it's time for me to take action.

Jiang Yuan then patted the sitting white tiger: "You are free!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan turned into a stream of light and flew towards the direction of the shouting in the distance.

Baihu suddenly felt his body lighten, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Freedom, how can I talk about freedom after entering this cage?"

"Forget it, go back to sleep!"

The other side.

A man looked at Guo Ran approaching from a distance, and heard the continuous shouting of the disciples of the Shanlin Luori Sect.

I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.

What the hell! Why would there be a master in the Sunset Sect who is in the Spiritual Sea Realm at the age of less than 25?

How can I fight this? Should I give up?

He looked at Guo Ran who was getting closer from a distance, feeling a little dejected.

If he waited a little longer, Guo Ran would be able to discover him if he entered the range of 100 feet.

But if he ran away by himself, it would not be difficult for him to find him from a high position.

What should I do? Should I really give up? All eight of my fellow apprentices have been kicked out by them. Is there any point in persisting?

He couldn't help feeling a little confused.

The other side.

Guo Ran's pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes became extremely serious.

I saw a figure running through the woods in the distance.

"Jiang Yuan, I underestimated you!" he murmured.

Seeing this scene, how could he not know that Jiang Yuan had also opened up the spiritual sea in his body and achieved the spiritual sea realm.

He then had a thought, and the Soul-Destroying Needle given to him by Gongsun Zhi silently merged into the spiritual sea below.

Then he said to the people below: "My fellow disciples, no need to shout, he is coming!"

"Yes, brother!"

The people below responded one after another, then jumped a few times and reached the top of the tree.

Seeing the blue afterimage in the distance, their expressions suddenly became solemn.

"It turns out that Jiang Yuan has also achieved the Spiritual Sea Realm like Senior Brother Guo! Trouble!"

"Yeah! I don't know if Senior Brother Guo Ran can win!" Someone's mood suddenly became heavy.

The others were also worried.

Jiang Yuan is a genius who is able to surpass Zhou Tuo, the prince, in the Tongmai realm. Compared with him, Senior Brother Guo Ran is still far inferior.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan had already appeared within a hundred feet in front of Guo Ran.

Jiang Yuan swept his spiritual sense and covered it with his spiritual sense.

Nine figures appeared in his mind.

He glanced down.

The Taixuan Sect disciple's eyes immediately met Jiang Yuan's.

He was shocked. Brother Jiang, have you discovered me?

This Senior Brother Jiang’s spiritual awareness is so strong!

He suddenly looked a little excited.

"Brother Jiang and I are at least one kilometer apart, but Brother Jiang's consciousness can actually detect me! He is worthy of being Brother Jiang! His consciousness is much stronger than Guo Ran's!"

He whispered to himself with a surprised smile on his face.

My heart was suddenly filled with hope that Senior Brother Jiang might be able to turn the tide.

The other side.

Guo Ran said, "Jiang Yuan, I didn't expect you to have achieved the Spiritual Sea Realm! In this case, do you dare to fight me in a fair duel?"

"Fair duel?" Jiang Yuan smiled and raised his hand.

The Soul-Destroying Needle hidden in the big tree under his feet was suddenly out of Guo Ran's control and appeared in his hand.

"It's a good idea to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. What a pity!"

Guo Ran's pupils shrank instantly and he was shocked.

not good!

Just at this moment.

Buzz——

The sound of swords rang out in an area of ​​hundreds of feet between heaven and earth! At this moment, murderous intent suddenly appeared.

Feeling this fierce aura, Guo Ran's heart suddenly turned from shock to fear.

He quickly said, "I give up!"

When he uttered the last word, his expression was filled with horror.

He glanced down at his chest and saw that where his heart had been, there was now a fist-sized wound that went through it from front to back.

Blood gathered here and flowed out.

At this time, a white light appeared and enveloped Guo Ran's entire body.

The spirit of the cave orb has already taken action at this time, trying to teleport him to the outside world.

Because when he shouted these three words, it meant he gave up the competition.

The next moment, a white light flashed on his body and his figure disappeared from there.

But before leaving, he heard several screams coming from below at the same time.

outside world.

Everyone saw a flash of white light and a figure appeared in it.

Ling Feng smiled immediately. Jiang Yuan should be the only Taixuan Sect disciple left! Suddenly, a sad and angry voice sounded.

"Jiang Yuan——"

He roared to the sky, blood gushing out from his chest.

The white light of the Dongtian Pearl also dissipated at the same time.

At this moment, the whole audience was silent.

Because they saw that Guo Ran, who was full of energy before, now looked lonely and dejected.

The most crucial thing is that there is a huge gap at the location of his heart, a gap that goes through from front to back.

The heart had long since disappeared, but there was residual sword energy on the wound, and blood kept gushing out.

"Ran'er, what's wrong with you?"

An old man supported the staggering Guo Ran with trembling lips, and placed his palm on his back, directly infusing spiritual energy to dispel the remaining sword energy on his wound.

Then let his wounds heal slowly.

But even so, Guo Ran's eyes gradually became dim.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master, don't bother. At my level, how can I survive without my heart?"

"I didn't expect that I would pass away before you. I won't be able to take care of you until the end of your life!"

The old man's eyes suddenly became moist: "What exactly is going on? Why is it like this?"

Guo Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Today I realized how huge the gap is between me and a true genius. Jiang Yuan is too terrifying!"

Then he held the old man's hand tightly: "Master, remember not to avenge me. I can't afford to offend you. I really can't afford to offend you!"

When he said the last few words, his pupils were filled with fear.

Only when he faced Jiang Yuan did he realize how big the gap between him and him was.

That is the difference between real starlight and the bright moon.

I was completely powerless to fight back.

Seeing his expression that seemed to be coming back to life, the old man nodded heavily: "Okay!"

"That's good!" Guo Ran smiled with relief.

Then he turned to look at Ling Feng not far away, and their eyes suddenly met in the air.

"Master! I'm sorry!" Guo Ran's breath was a little weak, and his face was gradually turning pale and weak.

Without the support of his heart, he felt himself getting weaker and weaker.

Ling Feng also sighed deeply: "Alas——"

Then Guo Ran looked at Gongsun Zhi again and said, "Elder Gongsun, I failed to live up to your trust!"

Gongsun Zhi looked at this scene and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

This scene reminded her of her apprentice Zhao Li.

She shook her head and sighed: "You have tried your best!"

"Yeah! I really tried my best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Ran's eyes became completely dim and he fell into his master's arms.

He immediately held Guo Ran's body in silence.

Scenes from the past decade or so emerged in his mind one by one.

Guo Ran was a child he picked up from the mortal world, and he was also his most valued disciple, whom he treated as his own son.

He is also very motivated and has made rapid progress in his practice over the years, living up to the expectations placed on him.

The reason why he let him go out this time was to help his disciple make a splash, get listed on the Heavenly Ranking, and contribute to the sect.

Unexpectedly, the day he came out of the mountain would be the day of his death.

And I also want to see the young people off when I am old.

"Fourth Elder!" Ling Feng couldn't help but call him.

His body swayed slightly, like an old man in his twilight years.

Then he held Guo Ran's lifeless body and said, "Sect Master, I'm sorry! I'll go back first. I want to give my disciple a proper burial!"

"Alas——" Ling Feng sighed again, and then said: "Go ahead!"

The fourth elder held Guo Ran's body and rushed directly into the sky, heading towards the Sunset Sect.

Ling Feng looked at Lu Qingshan who looked calm, and said, "Congratulations, Sect Master Lu, you win!"

Lu Qingshan smiled faintly: "I just said that I have great confidence in Jiang Yuan!"

Ling Feng said: "It turns out that Jiang Yuan has already achieved the Spiritual Sea Realm. No wonder Sect Master Lu agreed to compete for the mineral vein this time! Sect Master Lu is really good at hiding things!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "You too, right? It's just that you are one step behind."

In the cave treasure pearl.

As Jiang Yuan drove the Yin-Yang Sword, it was divided into nine.

The Sunset Sect disciples who followed Guo Ran died instantly at the same time.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and the tokens on their bodies fell into his hands one after another.

The storage items on them also returned to his hands one after another.

He opened them one by one and scanned them with his spiritual sense.

Then he said with some regret: "What a pity that Guo Ran was teleported out. A genius like him must have a lot of valuables on him!"

As for the wealth of the other eight people, Jiang Yuan took a quick glance and felt a little disappointed.

They are all practitioners at the Tongmai realm, with limited value on them, and their total value is less than 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Although this is already considered a huge fortune in the Tongmai Realm.

But to him, the value is limited.

Below, the Taixuan Sect disciple waved his arms and shouted, "Brother Jiang Yuan, I'm here?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said calmly, "You stay here and I will get rid of the last person."

At this moment, a huge voice resounded throughout the cave heaven treasure world.

"The Sunset Sect admits defeat. All disciples will be teleported out in three breaths. Please do not leave your belongings in this world."

After three breaths.

Three white lights descended upon the entire Cave Heaven Treasure Pearl World.

In an instant, the only three remaining people were teleported away.

outside world.

Ling Feng looked at the figure of his only disciple, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Isn’t Jiang Yuan too cruel?

Under his hands, not a single person was left alive.

He took two deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Master Lu, this spiritual vein belongs to you. Goodbye!"

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Several people from the Sunset Sect followed.

A moment later, everyone from the Sunset Sect also boarded a flying boat.

"Master, why are you willing to give up this mineral vein so easily?"

Gongsun Zhi spoke up.

Ling Feng glanced at her and waved his hand to lay down a layer of sound insulation.

"In two or three years, the Qianyuan Imperial Family will make a big move, so we shouldn't create any more trouble now. By then, all the resources of the Taixuan Sect will be ours. We'll just give this spiritual stone vein to them for two or three years!"

Gongsun Zhi's pupils shrank when she heard this: "Sect Master, are you talking about the plan that the Human King has been preparing for many years?"

Ling Feng nodded slightly: "That's right! So it's meaningless for us to conflict with them now!"

"And the Taixuan Sect should not be underestimated. If we really come into conflict with them, we won't gain any benefits!"

Gongsun Zhi could only nod slightly after hearing this, and then continued: "What about Jiang Yuan? His growth rate is too fast, we must find a way to curb it!"

"With this growth rate, I'm afraid that even if Taixuan Sect is destroyed, he will become a disaster in the future!"

Ling Feng also suddenly became thoughtful. After a long while, he slowly said, "This is a serious matter. Let's discuss it when we get back!"

"Okay!" Gongsun Zhi could only nod in agreement.

The other side.

Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Do it well!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It's good that the Sect Master didn't blame me for not using my discretion! I was a little worried that I might use too much force and cause a conflict between us and the Sunset Sect!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "We are neighbors with the Sunset Sect, and we don't know how many fights have taken place behind the scenes!"

"I even suspect that many of those outstanding disciples who died unexpectedly before might have been killed by the Sunset Sect!"

"Besides, once you embark on the path of cultivation, fighting and killing for profit will happen endlessly. After a hundred years in the mortal world, who doesn't want to live forever?"

When Jiang Yuan heard the word "eternal life", he immediately asked curiously, "Master, has anyone in this world ever achieved eternal life?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head: "No! Even the immortals in ancient times who have achieved the true immortality cannot achieve immortality."

"After they condense their immortal bodies, their lifespans are completely different from ours. It is said that they can live for millions of years!"

"So, why is the way of the physical body not taken seriously? It's not because it's not strong! But because it can't make one immortal! It can't live forever!"

"At the same time, there is a lack of relevant secret techniques, and the talent requirements are even more terrifying!"

Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yuan meaningfully.

Then he added: "If Master Kong Nian had not been obsessed with the way of the physical body, with his talent, he would have achieved the Dharma Realm long ago!"

"Now that I think about it, it's really a pity, Dharmadhatu! Without such a strong man in charge, we will always lack confidence!"

At this time, the fifth elder came over and looked at Lu Qingshan with resentment on his face.

"Master, you have kept the truth from me so badly!"

"Jiang Yuan has already achieved the Spiritual Sea Realm. If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have been worried for so long!"

Lu Qingshan burst into laughter: "Aren't you thinking of giving you a surprise?"

"Thank you! I am surprised and happy!" he said with resentment.

Then he looked at Jiang Yuan again: "You are good! I will work with the headmaster to get enough resources for you!"

"Thank you, Fifth Elder!" Jiang Yuan bowed.

Lu Qingshan glanced at everyone and said, "This matter has been settled, it's time to return to the clan!"

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yuan suddenly spoke.

Under Lu Qingshan's puzzled eyes, he came to Mu Qianru's side.

Ever since she came here, she has been quiet and silent, as if she didn't exist.

When she saw Jiang Yuan coming over, her eyes immediately showed curiosity.

"You are free!" Jiang Yuan said lightly.
