Tongtian Palace, Tianxiang Palace.

The sect leader, Wind and Thunder Sword Lord Chen Peng, lives in Tianxiang Palace all year round. The huge and magnificent palace took nearly a thousand years to build and covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres.

The most important Wind and Thunder Hall has a copper pillar thousands of feet long buried there, running through the entire Tongtian Peak and connecting to the earth's spiritual energy, and connecting to the wind and thunder energy above the nine heavens, controlling the spiritual energy within a million miles.

A golden throne was cast on this copper pillar. Wind and Thunder Sword Monarch usually liked to sit on it, so as to comprehend the wind and thunder in the sky and the turbid and endless thick earth spirit veins underground...

He had lived for 2,400 years and had survived the third wind disaster. In terms of cultivation, he had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. But he had never been able to touch the threshold of the Divine Transformation stage.

Over the past few hundred years, the sword energy has become increasingly pure, but the realm has not improved at all.

Fenglei Jianjun had a hunch that he would never be able to advance to the God Transformation Realm in this lifetime. Regardless of whether this hunch was right or not, he knew that his spirit was gone.

Normal practitioners can practice with a peaceful mind, but sword practitioners cannot. If a sword practitioner loses his fighting spirit and his courage and determination to move forward, it will be impossible for him to move forward.

Realizing this, Fenglei Sword Master gave up his pursuit of cultivation and instead devoted all his energy to the sect.

If one cannot continue on their own, the sect is needed to continue the inheritance.

It's like a person who lives a carefree and happy life, naturally doesn't need to consider his offspring. When this person is about to die, he can't help but want an offspring to continue his bloodline.

This is the instinct of life.

The Wind and Thunder Sword Master counted all the disciples in the sect, and found that the only three who were truly talented were Xiao Hongye, Chen Baishi, and Zhong Yujing.

Among them, Zhong Yujing is the most talented. Chen Baishi's talent is slightly inferior in comparison, but he has a strong and deep character and is capable of getting things done.

Xiao Hongye was somewhere in between the two, somewhat mediocre. However, she was the oldest, but had the greatest hope of being promoted to Sword Master first.

Fenglei Sword Master knew Xiao Hongye better. This true disciple looked bright and charming, but she was very narrow-minded. If she became the Sword Master first, Zhong Yujing and Chen Baishi would be in trouble.

Even if Xiao Hongye didn't kill them, suppression was inevitable.

In fact, cultivators are very fragile. If they are disturbed or hindered during the critical stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, they may never have the chance to achieve Nascent Soul Transformation again in their lifetime.

However, he couldn't suppress Xiao Hongye either, after all, he was also a direct descendant of the sect, and he watched him grow up. Xiao Hongye also respected him very much and had deep feelings for the sect.

The Wind and Thunder Sword Master actually has a rare treasure in his hand, the Langya Jade Crystal. This is a divine spiritual object, most suitable for upgrading the rank of swords, especially for Xiao Hongye's Hongye Sword.

Sword cultivator and sword weapon are one. Upgrading the third-level Hongye Sword to the fourth level can basically push Xiao Hongye to the realm of Sword Lord.

Wind and Thunder Sword Lord was hesitating whether to give it or not. According to the situation of the sect, having one more Sword Lord would be a great help.

It was just that Wanbaolou had received news that Gao Xian had killed Yan Ming! He was actually very skeptical about this news, but Wanbaolou was such a large organization that it was impossible for them to make random comments on such a matter.

Without Yan Ming, the pressure from the Eastern Wasteland would definitely be eased, which would also give him a few more decades.

When Fenglei Jianjun thought about this, he didn't want to give the Langya Jade Crystal to Xiao Hongye. He waited for Zhong Yujing and Chen Baishi first, maybe they would have a chance to catch up.

Fenglei Sword Master was thinking about the future of the sect in his room when Han Chengzhen knocked on the door and came in.

"Master, Gao Xian has arrived. He and Senior Sister Xiao went to Qingye Sword Palace..." Han Chengzhen bowed and reported.

"Um?"

Fenglei Jianjun showed some surprise, he knew Gao Xian and Xiao Hongye had a good relationship. It was just that they were still young at that time, and it was normal for them to have some feelings between men and women.

After two hundred years, the friendship between the two sides should have been severed long ago. After Gao Xian killed Yan Ming, he first came to find Xiao Hongye! This relationship is not ordinary.

There was nothing wrong with Xiao Hongye and Gao Xian hanging out together. They each had their own sects, and Xiao Hongye would not abandon her sect for Gao Xian.

The situation is very different now.

Gao Xian, he killed Yan Ming, the leader of the Blood God Sect, alone with a sword. What a bravery and divine power! Fenglei Sword Master was not afraid of Yan Ming, but he would not dare to say that he could kill Yan Ming alone. He also did not have the courage to go deep into the East Wilderness to kill Yan Ming.

In this respect alone, he is not as good as Gao Xian. What is even more terrifying is that Gao Xian is only a Jindan! When Gao Xian advances to the Nascent Soul stage, how powerful will he be? At that time, who among the Nascent Soul True Lords of Wanfeng County dares to go against Gao Xian?

You have to know that Gao Xian is notorious and everyone knows him. In order to vent his anger, he killed the Yuanying Zhenjun of his sect in front of the Huashen Daojun! Then he went to the Qingyun Sect to kill Han Yue, and then went to the Hunyuan Sect to kill Wu Pokong.

The good Hunyuan Sect fell apart and its inheritance was cut off. With Gao Xian backing him up, who dared to stop Xiao Hongye from ascending to the throne? Even he didn't dare to do so, let alone do so.

Fenglei Jianjun suddenly thought of Gui Wuqi's sudden death, who was killed inexplicably beside the river at Tianhe Peak. It had been more than 200 years since this happened, but he still couldn't forget it.

It wasn't that Gui Wuqi was so important, it was that the murderer was too arrogant, he ran into the sect and tried to kill Gui Wuqi. But he, a Yuanying Sword Master, couldn't even catch the other person's shadow.

He searched for a long time, both openly and secretly, but still found no clues.

Today I suddenly remembered that Gui Wuqi's real enemies were Gao Xian and Xiao Hongye. Although Gao Xian was thousands of miles away at that time, he should have done this.

Fenglei Jianjun suddenly figured it out. The sudden death of the person who had a grudge against Gao Xian must have been killed by this guy. No one else could be so capable and cruel.

If he had figured this out earlier, he would have definitely killed this guy with one sword. But now it was no longer possible. If he dared to draw his sword, who knows who would die!

Even for the sake of the sect, he couldn't fight this. He couldn't afford it! When Fenglei Jianjun thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He looked down on himself.

Han Chengzhen lowered his eyes and dared not look at Fenglei Jianjun, but he faintly heard the sect leader sighing softly, full of melancholy and sadness.

She didn't know what was wrong with the sect leader, so she lowered her head even more, not daring to breathe.

Fenglei Sword Master had lived for more than 2,000 years, so he quickly adjusted his mood. He said to Han Chengzhen, "You go to Qingye Sword Palace to invite Master Gao, and I will host a banquet in Fenglei Palace to entertain Master Gao."

Han Cheng was really a little surprised. The emotion revealed by Fenglei Sword Master just now clearly showed that he was very dissatisfied with Gao Xian, and he actually wanted to personally invite Gao Xian to a banquet.

She didn't dare to ask more and nodded quickly.

"etc."

Han Chengzhen was stopped by Fenglei Jianjun before she even left the house. She thought the sect master had changed his mind, so she turned around and waited for his orders.

Fenglei Sword Master was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll go in person to show my sincerity."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Han Chengzhen's face showed no expression, but her heart was in turmoil: "Has Gao Xian's status become so high? Even the sect leader has to go and invite him in person to avoid being rude. If she had known this, she should have hooked up with Gao Xian. Gao Xian was young at that time and it would be easy to get him... What a pity..."

She knew very well that Gao Xian today was not someone that anyone could hug if they wanted to.

In Qingye Sword Palace, Gao Xianzheng and Xiao Hongye were chatting.

With Chen Yuying, her disciple, by her side, Xiao Hongye couldn't get too close to Gao Xian. Besides, they hadn't seen each other for two hundred years, so no matter how close they were in their hearts, there would still be some unfamiliarity.

Gao Xian didn't feel strange. After not seeing her for two hundred years, Xiao Hongye had become more charming. She had eaten the Pure Yang Jade Purity Flower, and her life span would be at least a thousand years.

Over 200 years old, which is equivalent to a 20-year-old girl in normal age, is the golden age of life.

Xiao Hongye is just like this. She exudes powerful charm and is full of vitality. It can be said that she has both the agility and vitality of a girl and the beauty, tenderness and gentleness of a young woman.

This is also the unique charm that only cultivators can possess.

Xiao Hongye noticed Gao Xian's burning gaze, which reminded her of the tender and lingering time they had spent together in the past, and her bright eyes were filled with ripples of spring water.

Although Chen Yuying was young, she understood some things about love between men and women. Seeing her master and Master Gao flirting with each other, her face turned red.

She muttered in her heart: "I'm still here, why is Master like this... so unrestrained..."

Chen Yuying was just thinking about whether to find an excuse to leave when she heard the voice of the Grandmaster Fenglei Jianjun coming from outside. "Is Daoist Fellow Gao here..."

Xiao Hongye stood up in surprise: "The Grandmaster is here, I'll go greet him."

Gao Xian had nothing to do with Fenglei Jianjun, but he had a close relationship with Xiao Hongye, so he had to give Xiao Hongye some face. He accompanied Xiao Hongye to greet them.

The Wind and Thunder Sword Master had blue hair and blue eyes, and wore a dark blue sword robe with a four-foot-long Juntian sword on his waist. He looked handsome and heroic, but he was too old. Although he still looked like a middle-aged man, he couldn't hide the old age in his eyes.

Gao Xian greeted him politely, and Fenglei Jianjun also behaved very politely, even enthusiastically.

After some pleasantries, the Wind and Thunder Sword Master brought Gao Xian, Xiao Hongye, and Chen Yuying back to the Wind and Thunder Palace and entertained Gao Xian with a banquet.

The Wind and Thunder Sword Master showed great respect to Gao Xian, treating him as a fellow cultivator. Although this Sword Master did not like socializing, he was not incapable of it.

Gao Xian was also good at chatting, and both sides chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very lively and harmonious.

With the help of Gao Xian, Xiao Hongye received a lot of praise from Fenglei Sword Master, which made her smile and look even more beautiful.

Han Chengzhen was the last to sit, but he didn't dare to interrupt. He was just responsible for pouring wine and serving food. Chen Yuying stood aside, constantly interrupting and joking, looking very relaxed.

After three rounds of drinking, Fenglei Sword Master took out the Langya Jade Crystal and gave it to Xiao Hongye in public, which made Xiao Hongye extremely excited and happy.

Afterwards, the Wind and Thunder Sword Master sent another great gift.

"Here is a portion of Earth Spirit Liquid and Jade God Ointment. Daoist friend, you haven't yet reached the Infant stage, so these two little things can be of some help to you..."

Gao Xian was a little surprised. This Yuanying Sword Lord was so generous and a good person. He gave him a valuable gift without even waiting for him to open his mouth. And it was exactly the spiritual object he needed.

"Thank you, Master. These two spiritual objects are exactly what I need, so I accepted them..."

He raised his glass and said proudly: "In the future, if you need any help, just tell me. Although I am not talented, I can still do my best..." (End of this chapter)
