Old Man Pan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Mr. Chen knew about Yunjian Peak. But he shook his head. This lineage had been cut off, which was a pity.
"Lost? Why was it lost?"
The people around were familiar with Old Man Pan and knew that he was actually an expert, but he had a mild temper and was easy to talk to, so they would raise any doubts they had.
"It is unspeakable."
This time, Old Man Pan kept his mouth shut, looking very secretive.
The Yunjian Peak was destroyed due to internal strife, which is a scandal. Naturally, it is not suitable as a topic of conversation. If it is told to outsiders, it will more or less affect the greatness of the Chiling Immortal Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of this sword?"
Mr. Chen was not shooting without purpose. He waved his hand and presented an iron sword leaning on his arm to Old Man Pan.
"What a fierce sword."
This was everyone's first impression. The iron sword was pitch black, without any extra patterns. Even through the void, one could feel the solemn and cold feeling.
Then...
The second thought is that there is another way.
"Since you asked Elder Pan to judge, there must be a reason."
They believed that this sword was definitely extraordinary, and Old Man Pan was knowledgeable and should be able to make a rough idea of it.
"The material of your sword is ordinary iron. The reason why it is so strong and fierce is because it was refined later. The method used to refine the sword is..."
Old Man Pan's eyes were fixed, and he wanted to touch the iron sword, but he stopped the idea and took a step back, fearing that he would be hurt by the fierce aura. Then he carefully measured the iron sword, his face changed slightly, and he obviously saw something, and murmured: "This..."
He hesitated, but the more he looked at it, the more it matched what he had imagined.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't play tricks on me."
Finally, Old Man Pan made a decision and looked at Chen Sheng. He no longer regarded him as a simple boy, but as a mysterious being.
"Mr. Pan, what happened?"
When someone asked about it, Old Man Pan's expression kept changing. It was obvious that there was something mysterious about the iron sword, but they could not figure it out. They were anxious and needed an expert to solve the mystery.
"This sword was forged using the sword-refining method of Yunjian Peak."
Old Man Pan said solemnly.
"Isn't it lost?"
After these words were spoken, everyone became confused. Old Man Pan had just said that the Yunjian Peak's lineage had been cut off, but suddenly a method of refining swords emerged. Isn't this a contradiction?
"This sword was made using the secret method of the Chiling Immortal Sect, but it is going to be used to cut down the Chiling Immortal Sect."
Mr. Chen held the iron sword in his hand and sighed in a very plain voice, but the meaning he revealed was not simple at all.
"Who is this person? Is he an enemy of Chiling Xianzong?"
At this time, everyone has reacted. The young man in gray Taoist robe is mysterious and unpredictable. He controls the lost skills of the Chiling Immortal Sect and comes here openly. It is too intriguing.
"Somehow, we are involved in a struggle."
They saw that Chen Sheng was looking at the Chiling Immortal Sect from afar, holding a sword in his hand, and his intention gradually became fierce.
This scene made them feel a little terrified and they stepped back slightly, fearing that they would be contaminated by something scary.
"Fellow Daoist, this is not something to joke about."
Old man Pan's heart trembled inexplicably. He knew the seriousness of the matter better than anyone else. Chen Sheng's energy, magic power, swordsmanship and sword weapons all revealed a terrifying and profound meaning.
The sword is pointed at Chiling Immortal Sect? If this gets out, it will cause a huge storm.
“Buzz…”
The iron sword showed its power.
The pitch-black sword body was flowing with a layer of dark light, as if the Nine Nether Cave had opened, and an extremely cold and fierce evil spirit emanated from it.
The void of heaven and earth became dark, and all kinds of energy were tainted with coldness, unable to be refined, and manifested towards the place where no living creatures were.
"No kidding."
Chen Sheng spoke with a cold air and deep eyes. His grey Taoist robe seemed to be melted from chaos, and he exuded an awe-inspiring and unapproachable aura.
He slowly raised the hand holding the sword, shook it a few times in the air, and his inspiration rolled and gathered into a silent roar.
"Star Cutting!"
As the sword was slashed down, a murderous aura flooded the sky, and then a majestic sword intent shone out, as if countless broken stars were floating up and down. A wisp of that energy could crush hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers.
“Boom…”
The sword flashed across the sky with great momentum as it charged into the mountain gate of the Chiling Immortal Sect, alarming all the peaks and veins, which rushed out with bursts of energy, interweaving into a huge magic formation.
On all four sides of the magic circle, there are talismans that contain divine power. They move in coordination with the formation to suppress the incoming sword light.
"Whoosh"
The Star-Slaying Sword Intent can cross thousands of mountains and rivers. It is extremely tenacious and can also escape into time and space, making it difficult to intercept.
The sword flashed past, and the talismans collapsed one after another. The formation was activated to suppress it, but the sword light directly tore a gap open and escaped.
"boom"
Finally, the sword light flashed across, and the most majestic and tall mountain among the thousands of peaks shook violently and was cut off directly from the mountainside.
The top of the mountain falls like a crown, and the cut edge is smooth, like washed bluestone, which makes people surprised and sigh.
"Is that the main peak of Shaoyang? It's broken!"
In the market, everyone was stunned, looking into the Chiling Immortal Sect from afar, they could clearly see smoke and dust billowing, and the tallest Shaoyang Main Peak suddenly became shorter, and was cut in half by the sword light.
"The sword is fierce, the sword technique is superb, and he killed his way into the mountain gate of Chiling Xianzong with one sword, ignoring the interference of various formations, and beheaded the main peak of Shaoyang. How could such a person be an ordinary person?"
They turned their necks like stiff, rusty instruments, looking at Mr. Chen with awe, but their actions were distant.
This is definitely a great man with an astonishing background. He is the highest level of existence that they have ever been fortunate enough to come into contact with in their lives.
In another time and place, they would try their best to curry favor with him, but at this moment, they did not dare to have even a trace of concern.
Cutting the main peak of Shaoyang with a sword and embarrassing the Chiling Immortal Sect in public, such a big shot might be able to bear it, but they can't bear it. They will be crushed to death if they are under a little pressure.
"You shouldn't go out today."
Old man Pan had a sad face. He didn't even want his stall anymore and sneaked away.
He and Mr. Chen have nothing to do with each other, but today, the two of them had some interactions and could be said to have a very pleasant conversation.
If the higher-ups in the sect knew about this and thought too much about it, this misunderstanding would be fatal.
"Mr. Chen?!"
A terrifying roar was heard in Lingyuan Hall. It was Taoist Chongzun. He looked extremely ugly. There was no doubt that the sword intent was from Chen Sheng.
"Who is that? The Golden Core Master of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect!"
Some people were confused, and then horrified. This name represented a Jindan Zhenren who possessed the most top-notch combat power in the border area. He should not be humiliated or offended.
Normally, such a mysterious person only exists in rumors, but his sudden appearance this time means something big is going to happen.
"Come across the border, are you going to start a war?"
This was everyone's true thought. A Jindan Zhenren from the Guangxiu Immortal Sect appeared in front of the mountain gate of the Chiling Immortal Sect and even killed the Shaoyang main peak. It was obvious that he was not here as a guest.
"It's me."
Chen Sheng's figure rose from the ground, hovering above the void, with an upright figure and calm eyes and brows, as if the sword was an ordinary move, cutting off the weeds on the roadside.
"It is indeed him, a Jindan Zhenren, who is too gentle."
Old man Pan raised his head, looked at the familiar figure, and wanted to cry. It was obvious that Chen Sheng, as a Jindan Zhenren, treated people in a friendly manner, which was a very good character.
However, if he had a choice, he would like Chen Sheng to be a little fiercer, so that the two of them would not be so cheerful and smiling when talking.
As the matter grew bigger and bigger, he became more and more worried, fearing that he would be dragged into it for no reason and be torn to pieces.
However, as a low-level cultivator, he would not necessarily be happy if he met a tough boss.
"You come with a sword in your hand, are you going to start a war with my Chiling Xianzong?"
Taoist Chongzun left Lingyuan Hall, and he had no idea that a retired elder under his tutelage was so conflicted.
At this moment, his mind was all on Chen Sheng. When his eyes fell on the sword, he was a little afraid. From his perspective, the Star-Slaying Sword was also extremely terrifying.
"This sword struck the main peak of Shaoyang, but not you. I am being kind."
The corners of Chen Sheng's mouth curled up slightly, as if in mockery. He killed the Shaoyang main peak for a reason, not for provocation.
“Harmony? Shaoyang is the leader of all peaks and the master of all meridians. It is not an ordinary mountain.”
The cultivators of Chiling Immortal Sect felt depressed when they saw the much shorter Shaoyang Main Peak. This was an important inheritance of Chiling Immortal Sect, and they were going to kill it right away. This had nothing to do with "harmony".
"That means he is a Jindan Zhenren, and he is very confident."
No matter who it is, they must admit that only Chen Sheng could do this naturally. If it were someone else, no matter how prominent his status or how powerful he was, he would be crushed to ashes in order to uphold the dignity of the Chiling Immortal Sect.
"Don't be arrogant, this is not your Guangxiu Immortal Sect."
Taoist Chongzun was a little choked. It was really uncomfortable to have someone cut him with a sword at his doorstep.
"I know exactly what you did. If you do something tricky again, I will really go crazy."
Chen Sheng was in high spirits, and this time he came here with the intention of venting his anger, so he did not show any gentleness on his face.
Taoist Chongzun spoke in a bad tone. The sharper his sword was, the worse it would be. At most, they would have a fight, and the mountains and rivers would be shattered and the spiritual veins would be broken.
"snort……"
Taoist Chongzun snorted coldly and stopped scolding Chen Sheng. They should have some distance between themselves, otherwise Chen Sheng's sword would not only have cut off the main peak of Shaoyang, but would have directly shattered an entire area.
“That’s not right.”
The monks outside noticed keenly that Taoist Chongzun's toughness had subsided a little, and it didn't seem like he was going to start a fight.
"Is it possible that we can't fight?"
Some people knew what was going on, so both sides restrained themselves. Otherwise, there would be too many reasons to bring all their might into a fight to the bitter end.
"I won't fight you this time, but next time you dare to come, I will rush straight to the mountain gate of your Guangxiu Immortal Sect and destroy your Taoist lineage."
Taoist Yan Cheng came out with a bad look on his face. The Shaoyang main peak was beheaded, and the prestige of the Chiling Immortal Sect was damaged, so he looked ashamed.
Moreover, Chen Sheng was too aggressive when he attacked the Chiling Immortal Sect. If Taoist Chongzun had not been in the wrong first, he would definitely have used all his strength to attack the Guangxiu Immortal Sect.
"Come if you dare."
Chen Sheng put away his sword.
The two men clashed with each other in anger, but as they stood in the empty sky, staring at each other from a distance, they did not cross the line even a single step.
Afterwards, Chen Sheng left in a carefree manner, completely ignoring the two black-faced gods from the Chiling Immortal Sect.
…
"In front of the Chiling Immortal Sect's mountain gate, three Golden Core Immortals are facing each other."
Although the battle did not succeed, every move of Jindan Zhenren had an inexplicable charm, which attracted countless forces to come and spread the news of his deeds.
Especially the main peak of Shaoyang, the head of all the branches of the Chiling Immortal Sect, was also destroyed, but there was no ripple and everything was calm.
"The turmoil in the border areas was caused by Taoist Chongzun's move."
The forces with in-depth knowledge knew that the reason why the Chiling Immortal Sect chose to keep quiet this time was that Taoist Chongzun was in the wrong and had successively schemed against the rising stars of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, Mo Longyun and Chang An, which had angered the Jindan Zhenren of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, who came to the door to vent his anger.
And a few days ago, Guangxiu Chen Sheng killed ten major forces in a row, and it was also because of this incident that all the rebels were eliminated.
"A true man calms his anger and does not start a war."
In the end, Taoist Chongzun and Taoist Yancheng, who were in the wrong, endured the anger of Shaoyang Main Peak being beheaded and gave an explanation to Guangxiu Chensheng.
The two sides and the three Jindan Zhenren exchanged harsh words, and then all stopped.
“What a pity…”
The other three major sects felt regretful when they received the news. They hoped that the Guangxiu Sect and the Chiling Sect would fight to the death so that they could gain the advantage and restore order.
…
Guangxiu Immortal Sect.
"The war is over..."
Qin Lin sighed.
He was also a witness and participant in this matter. He saw the ancestor go down the mountain, stir up the situation in the border areas, and finally confront another major immortal sect. He deeply understood what it meant to be a "superior."
Such existence, whose every move can influence the general trend and change the fate of countless cultivators, is worthy of awe.
"The Grandmaster has been really tired these past few days."
Chang An always paid attention to the news and trends. He knew that Master Chen Sheng had traveled all the way, traveling to various places, covering thousands of miles, and had made many moves, wiping out some famous mountains and big families.
Although it is not difficult, it is definitely tiring.
That kind of thoughtfulness is even more precious. Standing up for his disciples is worthy of the title of "Ancestor".
"Going to the Chiling Immortal Sect in person might lead to a direct declaration of war between the two sects."
Qin Lin deeply felt the same way. For the sake of one or two disciples, he was confronting the Immortal Sect and challenging the Golden Core Master. This protection was absolutely invaluable.
"I will keep this in mind."
Chang An remained silent. How could he deserve such trouble from his master? At the same time, he felt deeply moved. It was not easy for an elder or a teacher to do this for his disciples.
He will remember the kindness and will surely develop amazing abilities in the future to contribute to his master and the Guangxiu Immortal Sect.
"Have you two been waiting in the yard?"
A calm voice sounded.
Mr. Chen came back, his gray Taoist robe carrying a trace of smoke and dust, but he himself had a clear and bright demeanor, and his robe fluttered in the breeze, making him look very casual.
“Grandmaster…”
Chang An murmured with some surprise, his eyes revealing a tender emotion. The actions of this ancestor were very consistent with the image of an elder in his mind.
"What's wrong? Are you worried? No, don't worry. Follow my advice from now on. I won't do anything bad to you."
After hearing this, Chen Sheng thought that Chang An was worried, and the expression on his face became gentler. He no longer showed the coldness and aggressiveness that he had shown in front of the mountain gate of the Chiling Immortal Sect. He tried to comfort him with kind words, saying that there was no crisis outside and he could do whatever he wanted.
"If the Grandmaster takes action, success will surely come immediately."
After these words were spoken, Chang An was even more moved, while Qin Lin boasted from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Before leaving, I decided not to go to war with the Chiling Immortal Sect."
Chen Sheng chuckled. This time he went down the mountain with a murderous look on his face, which was a true reflection of his inner thoughts. It was also to accumulate momentum and force Taoist Chongzun to bow his head and surrender.
"I'm just afraid that the Chiling Immortal Sect won't give in."
Chang An said with some fear.
If one is not careful, the two major sects may go to war because of him, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"Then let's fight. How could the Guangxiu Immortal Sect be weak?"
Chen Sheng looked extremely serious. A sect that couldn't even protect its own disciples and was indifferent to them had no need to exist.
"The master has great ambitions, and I admire him."
Chang An was stunned by this strength, and then he bowed down in admiration. With such a sect and master, he really didn't have to worry about anything. He just had to practice and break through the barriers.
