After the dust settled, everything returned to calm, leaving behind a huge crater ten feet in diameter in the distance.
Fu Shengyuan and Hattori Nobuo were somewhat disheveled; the self-destruction of a peak Danxia Realm expert was truly terrifying.
Fortunately, the chaos caused by the evil spirits was finally quelled.
Like the other disciples, Lan Hua was still shocked by the power of the evil spirit's self-destruction.
Inside the Immortal Talisman Hall.
The group gathered together.
Fu Shengyuan clasped his hands and said, "This annihilation of the enemy was made so successful thanks to the help of the sect leader!"
"Sect Master, you are too kind. If I had come to your aid sooner, your sect might not have suffered such a great loss!"
Hattori Nobuo is shrewd. No matter what, the Immortal Talisman Sect will owe the Kaga Sect a favor.
Fu Shengyuan said, "It's understandable that the Lord of the River is burdened by the trivial matters of Donglang!"
"Does the lord of the sect have any explanation for the evil sword that the evil spirit spoke of?"
Hattori Nobuo's expression changed slightly.
The Evil Blade is a secret of the Kaga faction, of great importance, but unexpectedly, it was discovered by that evil spirit.
With an awkward laugh, Hattori Nobuo said, "The so-called evil sword is nothing more than a means to resist evil spirits!"
"Sect Master, rest assured, this evil blade will never be used against righteous people. The Kaga Sect understands this principle!"
Fu Shengyuan nodded slightly, "The Sect Master is a smart man, so he naturally doesn't need me to remind him!"
He was naturally easygoing and rarely referred to himself as the sect leader when speaking.
Now that the matter of the Evil Blade has appeared, the tone is naturally a bit stronger.
"Now that this wave of evil spirits has been completely quelled, when does the Lord of the Flow plan to set off back?"
Although Fu Shengyuan didn't mention the Evil Blade, he didn't have much affection for this Dong Langren.
The implication of this statement—that someone was being driven away—is quite clear.
Saito Mitsuishi seemed to want to say something, but Hattori Nobuo stopped him.
"I've heard that your sect's biennial grand competition will be held in five days. I would like to attend, but I wonder if the sect leader would allow me to?"
"Attend the ceremony?"
Fu Shengyuan was very frustrated, but since they had offered to attend the ceremony, he really had no reason to refuse.
After all, every time there is a major sect competition, some small sects from nearby areas will come to watch.
"Very well! Lord Liu, please stay on my Twin Saints Mountain for the next few days. Enjoy good food and drink and have a comfortable stay!"
"Five days from now, join my Immortal Talisman Sect in this grand event!"
Guest room of the Immortal Talisman Sect.
The four members of the Kaga faction were gathered in a room.
Saito Mitsuishi asked, "Master, why did you stop me just now?"
Hattori Nobuo said, "It's not the right time yet. Fu Shengyuan is in a bad mood. If we make our request rashly, we'll only be rejected!"
"If we want to establish ourselves in the Eastern Region, we definitely can't do it without the support of the Immortal Talisman Sect!"
Matsushita Rikita asked, "Master, when would be the right time to bring this up?"
"Let's bring this up again after the Immortal Talisman Sect's martial arts competition is over!"
Liu Shengying whispered, "This evil spirit is willing to self-destruct. Without the power of the evil essence, what will happen to the Evil Blade?"
Hattori Nobuo said, "Never mind, there's no rush. The East is not lacking in evil spirits, it just lacks such a powerful one. Let's take it slow!"
"From now on, don't say a word about the Evil Blade. I don't want outsiders to know too much!"
"Hi!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Lan Hua was unaware of what was happening inside the Immortal Talisman Hall; he was busy preparing lunch.
In the afternoon, Lan Hua took some time to visit the secret cave in the back mountain, but encountered Zhao Xing'er on the way.
After returning from the consciousness space, Zhao Xing'er always kept the person who saved her life in her heart.
After much thought, she realized that the person who saved her was Gong Xiu.
However, among all the members of the Immortal Talisman Sect, there was no one who also practiced archery; the only exception was Hua Yingxiong, the newly recruited cook.
Today, within the sect, she couldn't inquire about Lan Hua's background.
However, there was no one on the back mountain at this time. When Zhao Xing'er saw Lan Hua, she pointed a finger at the top of Lan Hua's neck without saying a word.
She wanted to use a preemptive attack and a sneak attack to force Lan Hua to reveal a clue.
Lan Hua was startled and moved her feet lightly to avoid Zhao Xing'er's sneak attack.
The upper part of the neck is the weak point of the disguise technique; once hit, Lan Hua's original appearance will be restored.
"Senior Sister Zhao, what are you doing?"
"Your skills are quite good. Even if you became a disciple of a senior, you shouldn't have developed such skills so quickly!"
"Hua Yingxiong, who exactly are you? If you don't tell me, I'll tell the sect leader!"
"Don't!"
Lan Hua quickly replied, "To be honest, I am Lan Hua! Please, Senior Sister Zhao, show mercy!"
A sly look appeared on Zhao Xing'er's face.
"Was it you who saved me in the consciousness space yesterday?"
Lan Hua gave a wry smile and nodded. "In the heat of the moment, I exposed myself!"
"It really was you!"
Zhao Xing'er smiled calmly, "Thank you for saving my life. Don't worry, I won't betray you!"
Lan Hua watched Zhao Xing'er walk away, a cold sweat breaking out on her back. She hadn't expected this little girl to be so quick-witted.
Upon entering the secret cave, Helian Kuang exclaimed, "Boy, your test has begun!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "What do you mean, senior?"
"Zhao Xing'er just told me that the Immortal Talisman Sect will hold a grand competition in five days!"
"So fast?" Lan Hua was taken aback.
The Immortal Talisman Sect Grand Competition means that Lan Hua will take advantage of the competition to openly challenge the sect leader's chief disciple.
"You're not in such a hurry to make me fight Zhou Kai, are you?"
"Old man, I've only been learning from you for a month!"
"What do you expect me to use to defeat Zhou Kai?"
Helian snorted, "Boy, I've taught you everything I needed to. Now that your cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Transformation Realm, you're not without the power to fight!"
Lan Hua was speechless. Wasn't this putting him in a difficult position?
"Old man, if you don't pass on some secret skills, it will be difficult for me to help you get ahead!"
Helian Kuang closed his eyes and sighed.
"Fine! I'll grant you your wish today and teach you my ultimate technique, the Lightning Talisman!"
"Lightning talisman? Is it powerful?" Lan Hua asked in surprise.
"That's right, this talisman is also something I created myself!"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "That's more like it! Now I can be considered your successor!"
Helian Kuang stretched out his right hand and made a gesture in front of him.
Soon, a complex talisman was formed, crackling with electricity.
Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a lightning-based talisman technique?"
Helian Kuang shook his head. "Only a sixth-grade talisman master can use lightning-type talisman techniques!"
"This talisman is far from being a true lightning-based talisman; it's just a facade!"
"So what are the effects of this talisman?"
Helian Kuang said, "My lightning talisman can turn light into electricity. Those struck by it will be paralyzed and their movements will be slowed down!"
"That's amazing!"
Lan Hua had to admire Helian Kuang; he was indeed quite capable.
"This talisman is most powerful at midday!"
Lan Hua copied the talisman and learned the basics before stopping, secretly marveling at its mystery.
"Senior, what deep-seated hatred exists between you and Fu Shengyuan?"
"Hatred?"
Helian snorted, "He's a big deal! My broken arm and blindness are all thanks to him!"
Lan Hua said in surprise, "Fu Shengyuan seems upright and doesn't look like a treacherous villain!"
"That's because you only know a person's face but not their heart!"
"May I ask, what is your relationship with Fu Shengyuan, and what grudge do you hold against him?"
