Swish!

A dark golden sword-shaped beam of light pierced through the roof of the ancestral hall, shooting straight into the sky!

This is the Heavenly Guardian Sword's automatic release of its soaring sword qi!

The sword qi exudes a formidable sword aura, majestic and powerful, spreading outwards like a tide.

The sudden anomaly in the ancestral hall has already alarmed the entire Spirit Sword Gate.

At this moment, countless disciples stared in astonishment at the sword-shaped beam of light in the direction of the ancestral hall, each showing a surprised expression.

"What's going on? Why is there suddenly soaring sword qi in the ancestral hall?" a disciple asked subconsciously.

"I don't know. The ancestral hall is a sacred place of the sect. Disciples like us can't even get close."

"Wait, is that the direction of the ancestral hall?" a disciple thought of something and exclaimed, "The Heavenly Guardian Sword, the sect's sect-defining sword, is enshrined in the ancestral hall. Could this sword qi be emitted by the Heavenly Guardian Sword?!"

"Where is the Sect Master? Where did the Sect Master go?"

While the disciples were discussing, Sect Master Li Changfeng had already rushed to the ancestral hall with a group of elders at the fastest speed.

"What's going on! How did the Heavenly Guardian Sword cause trouble again?" Li Changfeng said with a hint of anger.

The elders looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

While they were puzzled, the elders also felt a strong sense of confusion.

During this period of time, the Heavenly Guardian Sword had caused quite a stir, occasionally emitting a powerful Sword Intent, as if it had been stimulated by something.

This was extremely rare in the Spirit Sword Gate.

Since the Spirit Sword Gate was founded by the Sword Emperor and he disappeared, the Heavenly Guardian Sword had been in a state of dormancy.

For so many years, it had been like a lifeless piece of wood, quietly placed in the ancestral hall.

Who would have thought that recently, the Heavenly Guardian Sword had become very active, and the disturbances it caused were getting bigger and bigger!

"Sect Master, the most important thing now is to reinforce the seal as soon as possible," the elder guarding the ancestral hall quickly said, "I can clearly sense that the reaction of the Heavenly Guardian Sword this time is extraordinary. If we don't continue to reinforce the seal, it is highly likely that it will break through the previous seal and escape!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng was greatly shocked.

The other elders also had astonished expressions on their faces, followed by a serious look.

"We must not let the Heavenly Guardian Sword escape!" Li Changfeng said solemnly, "The Heavenly Guardian Sword is not only a symbol of the sect's heritage, but also the most powerful sect-defining sword of our Spirit Sword Gate!"

"If we lose the Heavenly Guardian Sword, our Spirit Sword Gate's strength will directly plummet by half. To some extent, the Heavenly Guardian Sword can even affect the life and death of our Spirit Sword Gate!"

"What are we waiting for? Everyone, quickly take action and reinforce the seal!" Elder Su Tianming said urgently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changfeng and the other elders simultaneously attacked the excited Heavenly Guardian Sword with sealing techniques.

But as each sealing technique was cast onto the Heavenly Guardian Sword, instead of quieting down, the Heavenly Guardian Sword became even more violent.

It seemed to be provoked, emitting an even more dazzling dark golden sword radiance!

The sword radiance was extremely sharp, and it actually launched an attack on Li Changfeng and the others!

"Clang clang!"

The sword radiance swept past, forcefully knocking Li Changfeng and the others far away!

"The Heavenly Guardian Sword is angry, it's angry..." Li Changfeng muttered, even more puzzled and confused. "What did the Heavenly Guardian Sword sense? Why did it suddenly burst out with such a temper?"

No one answered him because the other elders were also unclear about what had happened.

At this moment, a elder suddenly thought of something bold and blurted out, "Do you think that the Heavenly Guardian Sword sensed the aura of our sect's founding ancestor, the Spirit Sword Emperor, and that's why it suddenly unleashed such a powerful force that even we couldn't suppress it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Changfeng and the others widened their eyes.

"That... shouldn't be possible," the elder Su Tianming hesitated. "The Spirit Sword Emperor has been missing for hundreds of years. After so many years, it's likely that the situation is more bad than good."

"But if it has nothing to do with the Spirit Sword Emperor, why would the Heavenly Guardian Sword react so strongly?" Li Changfeng asked himself and answered, "You should know that the Heavenly Guardian Sword is notorious for being unruly and difficult to tame, let alone be moved."

"For so many years, every generation of sect masters of the Spirit Sword Gate has wanted to tame the Heavenly Guardian Sword for their own use, but without exception, they were rejected and even attacked."

"Even I, the current sect master, have been attacked by the Heavenly Guardian Sword several times. Helpless, I gave up on the idea of taming it."

Upon hearing Li Changfeng's words, the elders fell silent once again.

After a moment.

Another elder thought of something and said, "I remember there was a rumor in the sect that before the Spirit Sword Emperor left the sect, he hid his legacy somewhere within the sect."

"As long as one obtains this legacy, they can activate the Heavenly Guardian Sword and even gain its recognition. Am I right?"

"What are you trying to say?" Li Changfeng frowned and asked.

The elder thought for a moment and said, "What I'm trying to say is, is it possible that someone has obtained the Spirit Sword Emperor's legacy? That's why the Heavenly Guardian Sword has been causing a series of disturbances again and again."

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded at first, then shook his head.

"The Spirit Sword Emperor did indeed leave behind his legacy, but it's not so easy to obtain," Li Changfeng said, "In these hundreds of years, countless elders, disciples, and even successive sect masters have turned the Spirit Sword Gate upside down and dug three feet into the ground, but they haven't found any legacy."

"So, your idea is not practical."

While they were speaking.

The Heavenly Guardian Sword suddenly emitted a series of piercing sword cries.

Then.

Under the astonished gaze of Li Changfeng and the others, the Heavenly Guardian Sword burst out with an extremely powerful sword aura, tearing apart many seals on its surface as if they were nothing.

"Clang!"

The Heavenly Guardian Sword broke free and emitted a joyful sword cry.

Accompanied by the sound of the liberated sword, the Heavenly Guardian Sword shot up like lightning, instantly piercing through the roof and flying into the sky.

After circling in the sky for a while, the Heavenly Guardian Sword seemed to have found a target and directly transformed into a dark golden sword light, shooting towards that direction.

"The Heavenly Guardian Sword is flying away!" an elder exclaimed, looking up at the sky.

"Quick, chase after it!" Li Changfeng said anxiously, "If we let the Heavenly Guardian Sword escape, we will all be guilty of the Spirit Sword Gate!"

"Yes, yes, let's chase after it and bring back the Heavenly Guardian Sword!"

Li Changfeng and the elders also took off, rushing towards the flying Heavenly Guardian Sword.

However, after flying for a while, they suddenly stopped in astonishment.

Because Li Changfeng and the others discovered that the Heavenly Guardian Sword had not flown out of the Spirit Sword Gate, but had come to the residence of the true disciples.

More precisely, it had come to the sky above a small courtyard.

After stopping in the sky above the courtyard, the Heavenly Guardian Sword remained motionless, looking as if it was waiting to be picked.

"This courtyard seems to be Xiao Ming's residence," the elder Su Tianming furrowed his brow and said in confusion, "How did the Heavenly Guardian Sword come here?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

He suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and he muttered, "Could it be that Xiao Ming summoned the Heavenly Guardian Sword?!"
