"Master Liusheng, please return. Get some rest early. I will keep your request in mind and implement it as soon as possible..."
As soon as possible, my foot!
"Master Liusheng" and "Wang Jiujiu" bid farewell with smiles on their faces, but inside they were cursing!
As the saying goes, alliance is fine, but building three "Statues of Merit"? Hah, absolutely not!
"Wang Jiujiu" was young and inexperienced, no match for an old fox like "Master Liusheng." He thought the other party had agreed to his proposal and was overjoyed as he bid farewell to "Master Liusheng."
"Farewell, Master!"
...
After leaving the "Da Xin Bao Chuan," "Master Liusheng" flew leisurely towards the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" using his sword.
This "persuasion" trip was a great success.
The mission completion rate was practically perfect!
Even "Master Liusheng" couldn't help but give himself a big thumbs-up.
Heh, I'm awesome!
With such a successful mission, he'd be getting a "great merit" when he returned!
Given the generosity of "Prince Neon," he would surely reward him handsomely.
Yes, this time, he must ask "Prince Neon" for two young ladies from the "Hui Bi Xiang Pavilion."
The "Hui Bi Xiang Pavilion" of "Prince Neon" housed only top-tier beauties.
Those young ladies were not only beautiful and elegant but also "top-notch" in their skills!
"Master Liusheng" had been coveting them for a long time.
This time, with his "great merit," it was only reasonable to ask "Prince Neon" for two young ladies, right?
Yes, perfectly reasonable!
Thinking of the delightful prospect, "Master Liusheng" let out a chuckling sound.
His lewd laughter filled the night sky.
Indeed, quite lewd!
"Master, please wait!"
Suddenly, a sword light intercepted "Master Liusheng" and blocked his path.
"Master Liusheng's" gaze sharpened as he coldly looked at the intruder.
This was not good!
Appearing out of nowhere at this late hour to block his path could only mean trouble!
"Who are you?"
"Master Liusheng" felt a slight sense of vigilance, glaring at the other party, though not overly fearful.
The one blocking his path was a young sword cultivator, whose cultivation level was decent, at the "Golden Core stage."
"Master Liusheng" himself was skilled in strategy and disliked combat. Moreover, since his meeting with "Wang Jiujiu" tonight was confidential, he had not brought any guards.
However, he still wasn't afraid.
Because he was a "Nascent Soul cultivator."
How could a dignified "Nascent Soul cultivator" fear or be wary of a mere "Golden Core cultivator"?
Impossible!
The "young sword cultivator" smiled slightly and spoke.
"Master, my identity is not important. Now, I must trouble you to come with me. My steward wishes to see you!"
Hmph!
"Master Liusheng" sneered.
"A mere junior, you expect me to follow you just because you say so? On what grounds?"
The "young sword cultivator" was very polite. He smiled slightly, revealing his neat set of six white teeth.
"Master, it is best if you accompany me. My steward truly has important matters to discuss with you!"
"And what if I refuse?"
"Master Liusheng's" eyes turned cold, and he said without reservation.
"What can you do to me?"
The "young sword cultivator" remained unperturbed, smiling politely.
"Fellow Daoists, Master finds our reception insufficient. Please show yourselves!"
As he finished speaking.
Swish, swish, swish!
Streams of sword light tore through the air.
In an instant, eight more "sword cultivators" appeared around "Master Liusheng."
These sword cultivators wore polite smiles, but they had surrounded "Master Liusheng," blocking all his escape routes.
An ambush!
A cold glint flashed in "Master Liusheng's" eyes.
He could no longer deny that the other party had laid an ambush for him here, and he had walked right into their trap.
What force dared to act against "Master Liusheng"?
At this moment, "Master Liusheng" was still not panicked.
He remained calm.
Because the eight "sword cultivators" surrounding him, just like the previous "young sword cultivator," were all "Golden Core cultivators."
Did a group of "Golden Core cultivators" truly believe they could stop him, a dignified "Nascent Soul cultivator"?
Even if "Master Liusheng" couldn't defeat these "Golden Core juniors," he could at least hold them off and delay them for a while, right?
After all, this was "San Xian Island," and the "Yingzhou Sword Sect's" main base was not far away.
Once a fight broke out, the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" would surely notice.
"Prince Neon" would lead a large force of experts to arrive in moments.
At that time, who would be the one ambushing whom, and who would be captured, would be uncertain.
"Master Liusheng" was full of confidence.
He spread his hands.
Boom!
He activated his true essence.
The aura of a "Nascent Soul expert" erupted.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Brilliant streams of spiritual light ascended.
Spiritual light piercing the heavens!
"Master Liusheng's" innate spiritual treasure, the "River and Mountain Painting Fan," rose into the air.
The "River and Mountain Painting Fan" materialized in the air, conjuring phantom images of mountains and rivers, majestic and vast, suppressing heaven and earth!
This was the power of a "Nascent Soul cultivator"!
Even if "Master Liusheng" was not skilled in combat, he was not someone a group of "Golden Core cultivators" could resist.
With such immense power and the might of his spiritual treasure, an ordinary "Golden Core cultivator" would be instantly suppressed, with no chance to retaliate.
However, those "sword cultivators"...
The leading "young sword cultivator" smiled slightly, completely unfazed by "Master Liusheng's" "Nascent Soul aura" and "innate spiritual treasure."
His smile was brilliant, revealing six neat white teeth, and he commanded.
"Attack, and escort Master back!"
As soon as the words fell.
Clang!
The sound of sword鳴 and dragon's roar echoed.
Endless sword light surged into the sky.
The long cloth strip on the back of the "young sword cultivator" suddenly exploded.
Amidst the flying tatters, a terrifying "Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure aura" became almost tangible, rippling outwards in waves like water.
The Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure, the "Azure Yuan Immortal Sword," was slowly unsheathed.
With a single sword drawn, it suppressed all realms!
An extremely powerful, sharp, and ferocious "Azure Yuan Sword Intent" erupted.
Rumble!
The entire world seemed to tremble slightly, as if awestruck by the peerless sharpness of the "Azure Yuan Sword Intent."
What the hell!
"Master Liusheng"
( ( ( ; ꒪ꈊ꒪ ; ) ) )
Was utterly shocked!
His mouth gaped wide enough to swallow a whole toad.
Heavens, what was he seeing?
A "Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure"!
It was the legendary "Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure"!
The entire "Yingzhou Sword Sect" possessed only one Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure, which was their sect's ultimate treasure - the "Yingzhou Immortal Sword"!
"Master Liusheng" was of too low a rank to have ever seen the "Yingzhou Immortal Sword."
"Master Liusheng" had always yearned to witness the unparalleled splendor of the "Yingzhou Immortal Sword." He never expected, not in a million years, that instead of seeing the "Yingzhou Immortal Sword," he would first witness another "Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure level flying sword"!
