Chapter 1 Da Luo Holy Land

Beside the Sword Washing Pond.

Liu Qing stared at the disciples before him, speaking with extreme severity.

"Remember this: the way of the sword emphasizes determination. Every sword must be your killing blow; every sword must be wielded with all your might."

"We understand! Thank you for your guidance, Hall Master!"

The disciples replied.

Just then, a golden talisman appeared in Liu Qing's hand.

"Qingfeng's family letter?"

Liu Qing looked somewhat surprised, not expecting Qingfeng to send him a letter.

Huh? When did he leave Da Luo Holy Land?

Liu Qing paused for a moment, then quickly recalled that his son seemed to have gone out to train with Lu Changsheng.

"I wonder what kind of trouble he's stirring up out there. He really doesn't make things easy."

Liu Qing sighed and opened the letter.

After half an incense stick's worth of time.

Liu Qing read it over and over, four or five times, his expression shifting from surprise to astonishment, then to shock, finally settling on disbelief.

Hiss!

Drawing in a cold breath, Liu Qing mounted his flying sword and vanished in an instant.

Da Luo Palace.

"Something big!"

"Something big!"

"Something big is happening!"

Liu Qing rushed in frantically, looking extremely agitated.

Inside Da Luo Palace, Qingyun Daoist was discussing matters with the three Supreme Elders when Liu Qing suddenly barged in, causing them to frown slightly.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a panic?"

Qingyun Daoist asked, displeased.

"Headmaster, something big is happening! Qingfeng just sent me a family letter. Do you know what it said?"

Liu Qing asked, looking extremely excited.

"What did it say?"

Immediately, Qingyun Daoist and the other three grew curious.

They knew Liu Qingfeng was with Lu Changsheng, so a letter from him must be about Lu Changsheng, right?

"It mentions that our Nephew Changsheng actually gained the approval of the Yin-Yang Divine Stone and obtained the Supreme Immortal Artifact hidden within: the Eastern Emperor Divine Bell! When this bell appeared, heavenly flowers rained down, dark clouds stretched for ten thousand miles, and countless figures of gods and demons faintly appeared on the bell's surface. Even more terrifying, countless powerful figures of the demon race are sealed within the bell, each possessing the power to destroy the heavens and earth!"

Liu Qing said, instantly causing the others' expressions to change dramatically.

"Is Changsheng alright?"

"Yes, is Changsheng alright?"

"Nothing can happen to Changsheng."

They all spoke, sounding extremely concerned.

Liu Qing shook his head, saying, "Don't worry. If my son is safe, Changsheng will definitely be fine."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

"Qingfeng said this bell is very terrifying, but Changsheng suppressed it and obtained it, so it can be considered a stroke of good fortune!"

Liu Qing said, putting everyone completely at ease.

But soon, one of the Supreme Elders couldn't help but ask, "What does the Yin-Yang Holy Land think? The Yin-Yang Divine Stone is their treasure. Are they willing to let Changsheng take it like this?"

"Yes, I also know about these two Yin-Yang Divine Stones. It's said that before the Yin-Yang Holy Land was even established, their founding ancestor obtained these stones, but they were never able to unlock the secrets within. Now that Changsheng has obtained them, will they just let it go?"

"If they dare show the slightest disrespect to Changsheng, even if it means the Da Luo Holy Land disappearing forever, we will destroy the Yin-Yang Holy Land!"

The three Supreme Elders spoke one after another, especially the last elder, who was extremely firm.

Liu Qing immediately said, "That's not the case. The Yin-Yang Holy Land is also clever. They made Changsheng a Dharma Protector Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Holy Land. They want to share Changsheng's fortune. It's a little excessive, but not too excessive. I can understand."

"Dharma Protector Supreme Elder? That's acceptable. Although they are sharing Changsheng's fortune, it's also an extra layer of protection for Changsheng!"

Qingyun Daoist nodded, thinking the Yin-Yang Holy Land's decision was acceptable.

"Junior Brother Liu, who else knows about this?"

Qingyun Daoist asked curiously.

"Only the five of us know. No one else knows. I don't know about the Yin-Yang Holy Land," Liu Qing replied.

"Alright, don't go spreading this around. This matter is of great importance. After all, this item is related to the demon race. If it really is a demon race treasure, it might bring unnecessary trouble to Changsheng. Do you understand?"

Qingyun Daoist said seriously.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Senior Brother. What kind of person do you take me, Liu Qing, for? My lips are sealed!"

Liu Qing said with unwavering conviction.

"Alright, then go take care of your affairs. We have other things to deal with."

Qingyun Daoist nodded. Liu Qing also nodded and left excitedly.

After Liu Qing left, one of the Supreme Elders slowly said, "Headmaster, should we postpone our plan?"

He asked, sounding somewhat mysterious.

"No, the plan remains unchanged." Qingyun Daoist shook his head, giving a definite answer.

Half an hour later.

"Something big! Something big! Something big!"

The voice rang out. It was the Hall Master of the Formation Hall.

He looked extremely anxious.

"What's wrong now?"

Inside Da Luo Palace, Qingyun Daoist was somewhat curious.

It's one thing for Liu Qing to have something big, but what could you possibly have?

"Headmaster! Elders! I just learned an earth-shattering secret. Changsheng obtained a world-destroying treasure in the Yin-Yang Holy Land. It's rumored to be a demon race treasure, and it contains a sealed demon race supreme being called… Donghuang Taiyi. Changsheng might be in danger!"

The Formation Hall Master said excitedly.

Qingyun Daoist: "…"

Supreme Elders: "…"

"Who told you that?" Qingyun Daoist's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"Senior Brother, you know what kind of person I am. Am I someone who would betray a friend? This matter has nothing to do with Liu Qing, Senior Brother Liu!"

The Formation Hall Master said with righteousness, vowing never to betray his brothers.

"That Liu Qing!"

Qingyun Daoist rubbed his temples. After thousands of years, he knew his Junior Brother's personality all too well. He was simply incapable of keeping a secret.

Before Qingyun Daoist could say anything, the voice of the Hall Master of the Pill Hall suddenly rang out.

"Something big!"

"Something big!"

"Something big!"

The excited voice rang out, causing everyone to be stunned.

"Headmaster, Elders, Senior Brother Xu, you're here too?" The Pill Hall Master was somewhat surprised, but he didn't have time to explain. He immediately said, "Headmaster Senior Brother, I learned an earth-shattering secret. I originally wasn't supposed to spread it around, but after thinking about it, I felt it was necessary to tell Headmaster Senior Brother about it. Changsheng obtained a demon bell in the Yin-Yang Holy Land. It contains ten sealed demon race peerless experts. Although Changsheng can suppress them now, there's no guarantee something won't happen. Headmaster Senior Brother, you must quickly warn Changsheng! Don't let anything happen to him."

The Pill Hall Master said seriously.

Immediately, the Formation Hall Master couldn't help but say, "Where did you hear that small-time news? It's not ten sealed peerless experts. It's a sealed demon race supreme being called Donghuang Taiyi."

Donghuang Taiyi? The Pill Hall Master glanced at the Formation Hall Master, his eyes filled with disdain. "You're the one with the small-time news. It's clearly ten peerless experts. What demon race supreme being? If you don't know, don't spread misinformation, lest you embarrass yourself here."

"What? Me embarrass myself? I think you're the one embarrassing yourself."

"You're embarrassing yourself."

"You're embarrassing yourself."

"Damn it, it's been over a thousand years since I fought. Are you itching for a beating again? Do you believe I'll slap you?"

"Slap me? Come, come, try it, try it!"

The two argued, their faces red with anger.

Qingyun Daoist and the three Supreme Elders remained silent.

"Headmaster, should we lock Liu Qing up?"

One of the elders suggested.

Qingyun Daoist took a deep breath and then coldly said, "Where is the Law Enforcement Hall! Detain Liu Qing, Hall Master of the Sword Administration Hall, in the Da Luo Heavenly Prison!"

Qingyun Daoist was truly angry. It had only been a short while, yet so many people knew?

In an instant, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall appeared.

"Headmaster! It's not good, it's not good, something big happened!"

"Changsheng obtained a treasure in the Yin-Yang Holy Land. It contains a sealed demon race Great Emperor."

Qingyun Daoist: "…"

Supreme Elders: "…"

Formation Hall Master: "Small-time news! It's a demon race supreme being, Donghuang Taiyi."

Pill Hall Master: "Bullshit, it's ten demon race peerless experts."

Law Enforcement Hall Master: "You two trash, shut up. Where did you hear those rumors? It's a demon race Great Emperor."

"Someone! Seize Liu Qing and throw him into Heavenly Prison. Use extreme torture. Strike him with lightning five hundred times."

The next moment, a roar echoed from Da Luo Palace.
