"Good lad, you're quite alert!"
"It seems that no one in the Ten Thousand Mountains can make him suffer!"
The Black Barbarian Mountains, high in the sky.
Watching Bai Cang's swift and skillful maneuver from "encountering danger" to escaping, Venerable Tianhe couldn't help but applaud in admiration.
Compared to Bai Cang's swordsmanship skills, he admired Bai Cang's steady and cautious demeanor even more.
Although Bai Cang, who successively displayed a series of supreme sword techniques such as "Sword Light Splitting", "Sword Light Turning into Rainbow", "Body and Sword as One" and "Refining Sword into Silk", was indeed a genius.
But for Venerable Tianhe: Isn't this something anyone can do with their hands?
He could easily achieve the same level of skill even when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
But just as a skilled swimmer can drown, theoretical discussions and real-world combat are two completely different things.
In actual combat, it's not that you can perfectly utilize every technique you've mastered.
It doesn't mean that the methods you use will necessarily achieve the desired effect.
Adaptability and steadiness are the most important factors in a battle of wits.
If Bai Cang boasted of his profound escape techniques, or relied on his incredibly powerful divine ability...
Venerable Tianhe will definitely make him suffer a loss he can't swallow, and teach him a lesson he won't forget!
However, Bai Cang's response was not so much brilliant as textbook-perfect.
Even someone as proud as Venerable Tianhe felt that if he were in Venerable Tianhe's shoes, he wouldn't dare say he could have handled it better.
This is the real reason why he "put aside his prejudices" and praised Bai Cang with admiration.
This was also the reason why he "showed leniency" and believed that Bai Cang had passed his "test".
It's better to beat your own child than to let them die at the hands of someone else.
It's a good opportunity to vent my anger: that bastard cheated me out of several hundred taels of silver.
Not only that, this little bastard actually wants to be his older brother?
Although it is only a false body formed from a thought, it is not something that anyone can covet.
Moreover, he had originally created that fake body because he had other things to do, but that bastard ruined everything.
How could Venerable Tianhe, who is known for his magnanimity, open-mindedness, and boundless spirit, not remember it?
Most importantly: This bastard not only lacks martial ethics, but he also dared to guess the truth and figure out the real identity of his fake body.
This is intolerable! Even if Uncle can tolerate it, Aunt cannot!
You, a future Dao Lord, not only don't actively try to forget your "dark history," but you also frequently ponder and think about it in your heart?
If you don't deal with this sweet treat, who will?
However, the focus of True Lord Lilong's attention was completely different from that of Venerable Tianhe.
"The method by which Xiao Cang'er refines the sword pellet doesn't seem to be the same Xuan Yin Ghost-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword Technique that you taught him, does it?"
Li Long Zhenjun looked puzzled. "Where did he get such a vicious technique?"
"And in such a short time, he actually managed to refine the sword pellet quite well. Could it be that you were secretly giving him extra help?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhe waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's just the Profound Yin Ghost-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword Technique. It's just that he combined it with his own sword talent and fused it with the Heavenly Strike Water-Filling Sword Technique, and mastered it into something that resembles a divine innate ability. It's all just some insignificant little tricks."
His tone was nonchalant, as if he didn't care about it at all.
Indeed, this is true; Venerable Tianhe's way of looking at things is different from that of ordinary people.
Even Li Long Zhenjun, who was already used to his "ordinary words," couldn't help but purse his lips upon hearing this.
Listen, can you hear what people are saying?
So you and your master really don't consider yourselves human beings anymore, and have already automatically "removed yourselves from the human race"?
However, at this moment, True Lord Lilong was more concerned about another message in her husband's words, "Heavenly Strike Water-Filling Sword Technique? Why does that sound somewhat familiar..."
As soon as he said this, Venerable Tianhe felt a jolt in his heart and quickly changed the subject, saying, "The techniques of the Huanxi Sword Sect are nothing to see."
"On that day, I used the 'Taiyin Blade Chapter' to start my tribulation. There happened to be a true disciple of the Huanxi Sword Sect who was joining in the fun, so I killed her without hesitation."
"That kid probably picked up the remains..."
Upon hearing the mention of the Huanxi Sword Sect, one of the five great mystical sects of the Southern Frontier, True Monarch Lilong was indeed drawn to it.
His gaze towards Venerable Tianhe suddenly turned sharp and wary. "You've had contact with that vixen from the Huanxi Sword Sect? How come I didn't know?"
As is widely known, the Huanxi Sword Sect is the most unique among the Five Mysterious Sects of the Southern Frontier, as the entire sect is composed of female cultivators and female Daoists.
Although named the Sword Sect, it lacks the straightforwardness and obsession of the "Sword Madman." Instead, it is adept at social maneuvering and enjoys recruiting sons-in-law to win over exceptionally talented individuals among the independent cultivators.
Furthermore, it has many marriage alliances with major sects of the He Fang Xuan Men, forming a complex and intertwined network of relationships. Therefore, it is also known as the "Joyful Sword Sect," making its reputation rather difficult to assess.
Most importantly, the Huanxi Sword Sect will not give up on anyone they have their eyes on, regardless of whether they have a partner or not, and they don't care if they become a concubine.
The Celestial River Venerable has been the most important target of the Huanxi Sword Sect for the past hundred years, without exception.
When True Lord Lilong and Venerable Tianhe got together, they had a fierce battle with the "vixens" of the Huanxi Sword Sect.
The intensity of the "battle" in those years even drove down the price of spiritual tea throughout southern Xinjiang.
Finally, seeing that True Lord Lilong was about to monopolize Venerable Tianhe, the leader of Huanxi Sword Sect, a dignified Nascent Soul Dao Lord, even considered personally intervening.
If it weren't for Venerable Tianhe's utter inability to accept the other party's three legal husbands and eight hundred male lovers, which frightened him so much that he publicly declared his name overnight and sent letters throughout the Southern Frontier, explaining his attitude of "severing ties" with the Huanxi Sword Sect.
True Lord Li Long really didn't know how to deal with this!
It is precisely for this reason that True Lord Lilong has never relaxed his vigilance against the Huanxi Sword Sect.
It's not so much a matter of strict prevention and control, but rather that not even a single female mosquito from the Huanxi Sword Sect is allowed to appear within a hundred miles of Venerable Tianhe.
"No, I didn't even see her face, I just crushed her to death."
"Oh? You even used your hands? How did it feel?"
"How can this be related? I was at least 300 miles away from her at the time."
"You remember it so clearly, is it because..."
"…………"
"…………"
"You're being unreasonable..."
"Now you think the female cultivators of the Huanxi Sword Sect are kind and understanding, right?"
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense..."
Leaving aside the fact that Venerable Tianhe was exhausted and in a sorry state from his wife's "three thousand soul-searching questions", it is worth mentioning that Venerable Tianhe was exhausted and in a sorry state.
Meanwhile, Bai Cang escaped from the Sword Willow Forbidden Land and flew more than two thousand miles in one breath.
Until they left the Black Barbarian Mountains and ventured deep into the Cangmang Mountains.
With a flick of his sleeve, he released Fang Baoliu!
