Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The earth-shattering cheers almost lifted the sky, while the Gu Clan remained silent.

Watching the Lu family's departing figures, everyone felt a mix of emotions.

No one had expected that this globally anticipated battle would end with the Lu family's defeat.

This victory for the Great Xia Sword Sect was not just their own.

It also laid the foundation of confidence for the Six Regions' sects in their fight against the Gu Clan.

The Gu Clan had been seen as unreachable, with many feeling that no amount of effort could lead to victory.

But the Great Xia Sword Sect used their actions to show that the Gu Clan was not invincible.

However, some clear-headed people remained wise, not letting the Great Xia Sword Sect's victory cloud their judgment.

The Great Xia Sword Sect being able to find five late-stage Rebirth Realm geniuses under a hundred years old was something they couldn't replicate.

Even if they combined forces with other sects, they would likely still struggle to fight the Gu Clan.

Not to mention that other sects wouldn't stake everything like the Six Ancient Holy Gates.

So, the Great Xia Sword Sect's victory was not something they could reproduce.

If Li Guanqi couldn't match Lu Wuhen's powerful strength and also break through to the Integration Realm, then he would face an extremely powerful Integration Realm sword cultivator!!

But regardless, the Great Xia Sword Sect's five battles today were all incredibly shocking.

The most dangerous was Li Guanqi's bold move under the Heavenly Tribulation.

No one had expected that after breaking through to the Integration Realm, Li Guanqi would completely overwhelm Lu Wuhen.

The battle recording stone of this fight was circulated by countless people, and Guan Yun Pavilion made a fortune from it.

Even Ji Yuchuan had to admire Tang Ru's cleverness.

Tang Ru simply smiled, recalling how he had sold Li Guanqi's battle recording stones back in the Ziyang Hall, never expecting to sell them again after so many years.

However, this time the battle footage was sold at a very high price.

Li Guanqi lifted his foot and disappeared, reappearing unconscious in the medicinal pool with his eyes closed.

Lu Kangnian followed closely behind, raising his hand to unseal several seals in the beautiful waters!

He didn't hesitate to use those extremely rare natural treasures on them, not feeling the slightest bit of regret.

Looking at the severely injured youths before him, tears welled up in Lu Kangnian's eyes, his sockets red.

If it weren't for them, the Great Xia Sword Sect would have undoubtedly lost this time.

But after this battle, Lu Kangnian completely stopped hiding his ambition; if he was going to do it, he would do it to the best of his ability!!

Buzz!!!

Nangong Xuan actually ignored the Ziling Cave Heaven's barrier force and teleported over.

The Green Mountain Sword Master, who was tilting his head back to drink, glanced at Lu Kangnian, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"Sect Leader Lu can find some time to take over the Lu family's resources."

Lu Kangnian shook his head and softly said, "Let's leave these matters to others in the sect."

"I'm still worried about these few."

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Nangong Xuan's eyes, and he chuckled softly.

"Leave these little fellows to me."

"I see that your sect isn't very peaceful right now; taking over the Lu family's resources is a lucrative job."

Nangong Xuan's implication was that if you didn't do this yourself, you probably wouldn't know how much would be embezzled.

Lu Kangnian frowned, thinking that there seemed to be some truth to that.

Moreover, he could see that Nangong Xuan was very partial to Li Guanqi.

Otherwise, Peng Luo would never have been able to enter the second time.

Lu Kangnian opened his mouth with a pained expression.

"Senior Nangong, Guanqi's sword... is there any chance..."

Before Lu Kangnian could finish speaking, Nangong Xuan solemnly shook his head.

"Impossible... that sword is no ordinary blade."

"But Lu Wuhen's Sword Ruins are somewhat special, actually managing to break his sword."

Lu Kangnian sighed softly, deeply looking at the people in the medicinal pool.

Then, he bowed to Nangong Xuan and turned to leave.

Nangong Xuan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and shot a beam of blue sword light into Lu Kangnian's head.

Lu Kangnian staggered as if struck hard, but instead of getting angry, a look of elation flashed in his eyes!!

Because Nangong Xuan had gifted him a wisp of Sword Soul Realm sword intent!!!!

Everyone knew how precious this kind of sword intent was!!

Something that outsiders would beg for and still find hard to obtain, Nangong Xuan had now gifted it to him!!

Lu Kangnian turned to kneel, and Nangong Xuan accepted this gesture without hesitation.

Lu Kangnian knelt on the ground with a pious expression, because he knew what this represented.

Inheritance!

Regardless of whether Nangong Xuan publicly acknowledged him as his disciple, Lu Kangnian.

From now on, Lu Kangnian would treat Nangong Xuan with the respect due to a teacher!

"Lu Kangnian, thank you, Master, for bestowing sword intent."

"I will cultivate diligently and not waste your kindness."

Lu Kangnian didn't dare to speak too plainly, only expressing his gratitude.

Nangong Xuan smiled slightly, raising his hand with a gentle force to lift him up, and softly said, "Go handle the other matters first; leave these little fellows to me."

Lu Kangnian rose and nodded with a smile, then turned and disappeared into the Ziling Cave Heaven.

Nangong Xuan looked at Lu Kangnian's departing figure, his eyes thoughtful.

His deep eyes flashed with brilliance, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But Nangong Xuan didn't regret sending his sword intent for Lu Kangnian to comprehend.

For no other reason...

The fact that the Domain Lord had personally said to let Li Guanqi come to this sect meant that Lu Kangnian... was someone worth looking up to!!

Moreover, Nangong Xuan also trusted the Domain Lord's vision, regardless of what the Great Xia Sword Sect was like.

There were many sects with more foundation and better traditions than the Great Xia Sword Sect, so why choose the Great Xia Sword Sect with Lu Kangnian as the sect leader?

This meant that Lu Kangnian, at least in the Domain Lord's eyes, was someone worth valuing.

Nangong Xuan's mouth slightly raised, drinking wine as his eyes glanced at the people in the medicinal pool.

These little fellows were really quite good.

Suddenly!!

A subtle and powerful pressure erupted from Li Guanqi's body as he sat in the center of the medicinal pool.

Even Nangong Xuan was startled by this pressure, narrowing his eyes as he looked towards the center of the medicinal pool.

After thinking for a moment, he flashed to the edge of the medicinal pool, tilting his hand slightly to pour the spiritual liquid from the gourd into it.

He cursed in a low voice with some heartache, "This time, I've lost big!!"

The jade-like wine contained incredibly powerful and pure Yuan power, and not only Yuan power.

This wine also contained the essence of countless rare spiritual plants, making it more than enough for healing.

At this time, Cao Yan had almost refined the Purple Dragon Thunder Flame, forming a small vortex around him to absorb the spiritual liquid.
