Chapter 5 - 5

The next day, Canghua Peak, Tianlan Palace. 

There was a cold rain outside the palace, but the atmosphere inside was extremely warm. 

Disciples from the six peaks and five sects gathered together, four of the five guests were present, and Bai Luohua was among them. If it were any other day, all the disciples' attention would probably be drawn to her alone, but today was different, all eyes were on the sect leader Liu Yanping. 

Liu Yanping stood in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking solemn. 

He had previously dispatched five Tongxuan realm masters from the sect to the Western Regions because he had received news of the Tianli Sword. He wanted to quietly find out the whereabouts of the Tianli Sword before the world knew about it. 

As a result, the development of the matter was beyond his expectations. The Tongxuan realm cultivators who went to the Western Regions found nothing. The Tianli Sword was not in the Western Regions, but in Duanfeng Mountain. What he did not expect was that the news leaked out at an alarming speed. It was as if there was an invisible hand fanning the flames. 

Liu Yanping glanced at the disciples and slowly said, "You should all know what I want to say today. Yes, the Tianli Sword, the sacred sword of our sect that was lost 150 years ago, has been rediscovered. The sword appeared in Duanfeng Mountain not long ago. This Duanfeng Mountain is located near Baixi City, the border between Jingguo, Beiqiang and the Western Regions. Today, the Tianli Sword is held by Wu Zexu, the leader of Tengying Village in Duanfeng Mountain. Since the Tianli Sword has appeared, it is only right for us to take back the sacred sword that belongs to our sect." 

Many people had burning eyes and high emotions. 

He Weiwei, who was standing next to Chu Chen, was also eager to try, with a gleam in her eyes, "I didn't expect that my parents went to the Western Regions secretly to bring back the Zhenzong Sword. It is said that the Tianli Sword has the ability to turn the world upside down. If I have the chance, I really want to take a look at what this sword looks like." 

Chen Zhuo said to He Weiwei beside him: "Now the Tianli Sword has been exposed. It is said that now, except for our Tianhua Sword Sect, other sects have spread the news. Since it is exposed, the sect leader no longer needs to hide it. He should dispatch people to Baixi City. Maybe we will have this opportunity." 

Just as Chen Zhuo said, Liu Yanping then talked about dispatching people to Broken Wind Mountain. Everyone pricked up their ears. Although they all knew that this trip was dangerous, the disciples of the Sword Sect had an extraordinary reverence for the Tianli Sword. In order to bring back this magic sword, they were willing to go through fire and water. 

"Elder Meng, Junior Brother Yuan, you two will lead the trip to Broken Wind Mountain this time. The task is arduous and the matter is of great importance. I hope you will go all out." Liu Yanping said slowly. 

Elder Meng refers to the Sword Sect's law enforcement elder Meng Changfeng, whose cultivation has reached the middle level of the Divine Mind Realm and is a well-known expert in the sect. 

As for Sect Master Xiao's nephew, it was Yuan Hong, who had stopped Chu Chen and Mu Zheng with a single sword strike on Jianhua Peak. He was a Sword Master of the Sword Sect, but at the age of thirty, he had already reached the upper level of the Profound Realm. 

Meng Changfeng and Yuan Hong came forward at the same time and said in unison: "Please rest assured, Master." 

Liu Yanping nodded slightly and continued, "Guest Wang, although this is not a matter of life and death for our sect, it is the most important matter in the past 150 years. This time, I ask you to help the Sword Sect to get back the magic sword and reach the peak again." 

"Don't worry, Sect Master. I will definitely live up to your trust." Wang Guanjian said softly. 

Liu Yanping and Wang Guanjian have a very good personal relationship. Wang Guanjian is also the top player in Jing State. The two of them often talk about martial arts and have a deep understanding of each other. This is why Liu Yanping confidently entrusted the important task of bringing back the Tianli Sword to Wang Guanjian instead of letting other guest officials do it. 

It was pouring rain outside the hall, but the cold did not dampen the enthusiasm of many young disciples. After listening to Liu Yanping's words, their blood boiled and the passion in their eyes became even more intense. 

"It should be our turn next." 

"I don't know who the leader will choose. I'm really nervous." 

Liu Yanping looked at the younger generation of disciples and said, "Disciples in the Condensation Realm, please step forward." 

More than thirty people stood up at once, their eyes burning. 

Seeing the eagerness on the faces of these disciples, Liu Yanping nodded secretly and said solemnly: "This time, we will not take the easy way to bring back the magic sword. The dangers involved are unpredictable. The battle against bandits in Tiance Mansion resulted in heavy casualties, which is a lesson for us. Now that the Tianli Sword has appeared in the world, everyone in the world knows about it. When our sect arrives in Baixi City, it must be a mixed bag. Various sects and evil sects are interested in getting their hands on our sacred object. Maybe even the imperial court has this idea. By then, there will be many parties competing, the situation will be complicated, and there will be many crises. I will give you half an hour to consider and weigh the pros and cons. After that, I will select a few people to go with me and leave the mountain immediately." 

The disciples nodded and said, "Yes, sir!" 

He Weiwei's pretty face was filled with disappointment. She didn't care whether Baixi City or Duanfeng Mountain were dangerous places. She felt extremely regretful when she thought about not being able to personally bring back the sect's divine sword. Especially since she had already reached the upper level of the Mingxi Realm, and was only a thin layer of window paper away from the Ningyuan Realm, but now because of this half-step difference, she couldn't go with the elders to bring back the Tianli Sword. She regretted it so much. If she had spent a little more time on it, maybe she could have set off with Uncle Yuan and the others today. 

Chen Zhuo said: "Sister, this trip is no joke. Although I am sorry that I couldn't go with Uncle Yuan and the others, I will not put myself in danger." 

He Weiwei sighed and said, "I understand all this, but I still feel it's a pity... What about you? What do you think?" 

Chen Zhuo lowered his eyes, clenched his fists imperceptibly, and said softly: "If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it." 

He Weiwei didn't notice the strangeness of this junior brother, and said: "That's right, let's not force it..." 

******************** 

Huang Caiting also came to wait outside Tianlan Palace. When Yuan Hong came out, she recognized the swordsman in the crowd at first sight. 

Although the sword is hidden in the sheath, there is a sharp aura that makes people's eyes shine, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and hair as sharp as a knife, which makes him indescribably handsome and unrestrained. 

Although they had never met before, Huang Caiting's eyes were already full of brilliance, and she subconsciously revealed a moving smile. 

Yuan Hong is a talented and handsome swordsman, but Huang Caiting is not bad either. This Jiangnan Sui Pearl is dazzling wherever she goes. 

Yuan Hong saw Huang Caiting as he came out of the hall, but perhaps because he was too burdened to care about anything, he just glanced at her and then looked away, passing by her without even turning his head. 

Huang Caiting's expression froze slightly. 

At this moment, Qin Hua, who was walking out of the hall, noticed Huang Caiting standing in the rain with an oil-paper umbrella. He was moved and asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Huang has been waiting outside the hall for a long time. It's very cold in the mountains, and in this weather, be careful not to hurt yourself." 

Huang Caiting concealed the embarrassment on her face without leaving any trace, smiled again, and said softly: "Mr. Qin is really considerate. Although I have been waiting outside the palace for so long, it is all worth it to hear what Mr. Qin said." 

Qin Hua smiled and said, "So Miss Huang is waiting for me here on purpose?" 

Huang Caiting's eyelashes drooped slightly, and her smile was a little shy, which was intriguing. 

Qin Hua looked at her delicate face, and his heart was slightly moved. 

Compared with He Weiwei, Huang Caiting is not inferior in appearance. Although her breasts are not as spectacular as He Weiwei's, they are also plump, upright and substantial. 

Besides, Huang Caiting is in her early twenties, not yet in her prime, which is the most attractive time for a woman. She has a bright temperament and knows how to please men. She must be a beauty in bed, which is more attractive than He Weiwei. 

In terms of her background, Huang Caiting not only holds a high position in the Misty Rain Pavilion, but is also the eldest daughter of a Jiangnan Taoist family. She is born into a wealthy family with a rich background. If you can marry her, it will be a beautiful thing to have both wealth and beauty. 

His previous plan to pursue He Weiwei had failed because of Chen Zhuo, and He Weiwei had not expressed any interest in him, but now Huang Caiting appeared before him, which was really a ray of hope. 

Thinking of this, Qin Hua said intentionally or unintentionally: "The news of the appearance of the Tianli Sword has spread all over the world, and the sect master has also ordered to bring back the sword. Led by Elder Meng and Uncle Yuan, with the help of Guest Wang, we have selected Brother Cao from Canghua Peak, Brother Shi, Sister Liu from Yuhua Peak, and four younger disciples of my generation to go together. The five Tongxuan Realm seniors in the Western Regions should have also received the news, and they may already be on their way to Baixi City... When I think about being able to personally bring back the sect's sacred object this time, I am excited, but the only flaw is that there is no beautiful woman to accompany me." 

Huang Caiting's eyes flickered, and she asked with a half-smile, "Master Qin, do you want me to come with you?" 

Qin Hua said: "It would be great if Miss Huang could come with us." 

Huang Caiting seemed to be somewhat tempted, but then shook her head, gently smoothed the hair beside her ears and said, "I would like to go with everyone from the Sword Sect, but I'm worried that the Sect Master will not agree. After all, I'm just an outsider..." 

Qin Hua stepped aside and said softly, "If Miss Huang is willing, I can go to the Sect Master and ask for something." 

Huang Caiting chuckled and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Qin." 

Hearing Huang Caiting's immediate agreement, Qin Hua smiled and turned back to Tianlan Palace. 

Huang Caiting looked at Qin Hua's back, but a slight mocking smile appeared on her lips. 

Although Qin Hua seemed very attentive, he was too eager. His so-called concern was probably just because he was greedy for her beauty. 

Moreover, after spending the past few days together, she found that Qin Hua was a little superficial. What she needed was someone who could really benefit Yanyu Pavilion and her family, not a quick success and instant benefit person. 

At this point, Huang Caiting no longer considered Qin Hua, but since he was so enthusiastic, Huang Caiting went with the flow and used him one last time. 

After Yuan Hong came out of Tianlan Palace, he searched for Bai Luohua in the crowd, but to no avail, so he decided to go directly to the guest residence on Yunhua Peak. 

Just as Liu Yanping said, this trip is not for sightseeing, but for the front is a mountain of swords and a forest of swords. Sects all over the world are moving at the news, and maybe the imperial court is also coveting this magic sword. No one knows what will happen. 

Therefore, before leaving, he wanted to meet Bai Luohua. 

Arriving outside the bamboo house, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door. 

No response. 

"Isn't it here too?" 

Yuan Hong sensed that no one was in the house. But he couldn't think of where Bai Luohua might be, so he sighed secretly. 

Under the eaves of the long corridor, the rain falls like a pearl curtain. 

The youngest uncle of Tianhua Sword Sect, standing straight as a sword, looked a little lonely. 

He is Jian Zi, who entered the Tongxuan realm at the age of 24 and is the most outstanding disciple of the Jian Sect in the past hundred years. 

But he didn't know when he was deeply attracted to someone. 

Bai Luohua, a guest of Tianhua Sword Sect and one of the most beautiful women among the masters of Divine Mind Realm. 

Yuan Hong never expressed his feelings, but kept them deep in his heart. He was responsible for the prosperity and decline of the Tianhua Sword Sect for the next hundred years, so he could not easily indulge in love. 

Moreover, when facing this goddess Luo Hua, he always felt that there was an unbridgeable gap between them. 

He is Jianzi, a man of extraordinary talent, attracting the attention of all. 

But Bai Luohua is even better. She entered the state of Tongxuan in her early twenties and the state of Shennian before she was thirty. Since she appeared in the martial arts world, she has been accompanied by countless legends and praises. 

The identity that Yuan Hong was so proud of had no special meaning in front of that person. More importantly, he found that every time he faced Bai Luohua, he could feel a slight sense of alienation. 

Yuan Hong shook his head and turned away. 

******************** 

Bai Luohua naturally didn't know that Yuan Hong had been standing outside her house for a long time. After leaving Tianlan Palace, she went to Chen Zhuo's residence at the foot of Yunhua Peak. 

When Chen Zhuo opened the door and saw Bai Luohua standing in the room, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. 

Bai Luohua withdrew his gaze from the rain outside the window, turned to look at Chen Zhuo, and asked: "The Tianli Sword has appeared in the world, what do you think?" 

Chen Zhuo was silent for a while, then he stared at Bai Luohua and said, "I want to get the Tianli Sword." 

Bai Luohua frowned immediately, and his eyes became serious. 

Chen Zhuo said "obtained the Tianli Sword" instead of "returned the Tianli Sword", there is a big difference between them. 

In the six hundred years of Sword Sect history, including the founder Chen Tianhao, the Tianli Sword has only had four masters. Every hundred years, there will be a brilliant Sword Sect disciple who can be recognized by the Tianli Sword. Even if it is a sword disciple, the head of the sect may not be qualified. It was not until the internal strife of the sect 150 years ago, when the magic sword disappeared, that the inheritance was cut off. 

"Do you really want the Tianli Sword to become its fifth owner?" 

Chen Zhuo said calmly but firmly: "Yes." 

Bai Luohua shook his head slightly and said, "But you are only at the upper level of the Mingxi Realm, and you are not qualified to accompany Meng Changfeng and Yuan Hong to Baixi City. Not to mention whether you have the ability to be recognized by the Tianli Sword, even whether you can see this legendary sword is a problem." 

Chen Zhuo met Bai Luohua's gaze and said seriously, "So Zhuoer needs your aunt to help me." 

Bai Luohua asked: "How do you want me to help you?" 

She lowered her eyelashes slightly, and although her tone was gentle, there was a sense of majesty in it. 

Chen Zhuo said: "Now I am only one step away from the Condensation Realm. I am confident that I can take this step within two days. Once the mirror is broken, I will whip my horse and rush to Baixi City." 

Bai Luohua shook his head and said, "This step seems to be within reach, but many people have spent ten or twenty years trying to make it. If you want to force a breakthrough, even if you succeed, there may be hidden dangers. No matter how small, it is still a flaw, and your future practice may fall into a quagmire because of it." 

Chen Zhuo looked directly at Bai Luohua, taking in the beautiful face of his aunt, and said, "I only know that wealth and honor are sought through risk, and opportunities are hard to come by and will never come again... I don't want to wait any longer." 

Bai Luohua looked at him for a while, then turned his head to look at the wind and rain outside the window and sighed softly. 

She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and placed it on the wooden table. 

"This is Ice Lotus Dew, it can protect your meridians." 

Leaving these words, she left the house. 

Only Chen Zhuo was left standing there silently. 

******************** 

Coincidentally, just after Bai Luohua left, He Weiwei arrived at Chen Zhuo's place less than half an hour later. 

Although he told Bai Luhua that he would break through the bottleneck within two days, condense the essence of heaven and earth, refine the true essence, and become a true Condensation Realm cultivator, Chen Zhuo did not start retreating right away. He was adjusting his state and striving to do his best. It was because of this that He Weiwei did not get rejected. 

Noticing that Chen Zhuo looked unhappy, He Weiwei thought for a moment and understood. She looked at Chen Zhuo closely and said, "Junior brother, are you still thinking about the Tianli Sword?" 

Chen Zhuo shook his head, but then nodded. 

Seeing this, He Weiwei said angrily: "You, you are really a hypocrite. You told me in the daytime that 'what is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced', but in the end you are still unwilling to accept it. What is there to hide from me? I regret it so much, how can I laugh at you? Don't you dare to fool me in the future!" 

Chen Zhuo glanced at his senior sister, who was standing with her hands on her hips and glaring at him. A pair of plump breasts protruded from her tight waist, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger. 

Although she is not as elegant and graceful as her aunt, nor as graceful and charming as Huang Caiting, she has her own style. She is obviously just a lazy and willful girl, but she exudes a kind of inspiring vitality. 

This immediately dispelled the gloom he had just felt for disappointing his aunt because of his stubbornness. 

Chen Zhuo couldn't help but take a few more glances, which made He Weiwei blush. For some reason, she always felt that Chen Zhuo's eyes were on her hot breasts. 

Not only did the two buds under her underwear feel a little numb, but her heart was also beating wildly. While feeling embarrassed and annoyed, she was secretly happy in her heart. She said angrily, "I'm teaching you a lesson, where are you looking?" 

Chen Zhuo realized his abruptness and was about to look away when he noticed that He Weiwei was holding a small blue silk bag. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Sister, what's in this?" 

He Weiwei knew that this guy was trying to change the subject, but Chen Zhuo had good foresight and asked the right question. 

She glared at Chen Zhuo fiercely, snorted and said, "I saw that you were calm, so I was going to discuss it with you and ask you to help me solve my problem. Then I remembered that tomorrow is your 19th birthday, so I gave you something... Here, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you." 

She untied the strap at the end of the bag, revealing a thin, soft silver-white armor that was obviously extremely valuable. 

Chen Zhuo felt a little warm in his heart. He took it and felt it, then returned the armor and refused, "I can't accept this armor. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the valuable silver silk armor... I appreciate your kindness, but this gift is too expensive. I'm sorry I can't accept it." 

He Weiwei had guessed that this would happen, and her face suddenly became stern, and she said angrily: "Water that has been poured out cannot be taken back. There are so many treasures in my house that would be wasted if they were not used. You don't have to be polite to me. If you refuse to accept them, you are looking down on me, your senior sister." 

Having said that, what else could Chen Zhuo say? He felt helpless and touched, and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command, Junior Brother." 

Seeing that Chen Zhuo was finally willing to accept it, He Weiwei was immediately delighted and said with a smile: "That's pretty good." 

At this point she paused, her watery almond eyes rolled around, and she said, "I came to see you today because I have one more thing to tell you." 

Chen Zhuo looked at her flawless face in surprise. 

He Weiwei did not keep the secret and said, "The Tianli Sword is the most amazing divine weapon in the world, and it is also a sacred object that our Tianhua Sword Sect has lost for more than a hundred years. Now is the time of prosperity and decline for the sect. If we can't see it with our own eyes, we will regret it for the rest of our lives. I heard that Uncle Yuan and Elder Meng have already set off. I don't know what tricks Huang Caiting, that vixen, used to make the sect master agree to let her go. Since that vixen has made it, the two of us can't let others outshine us. Why don't we encourage each other and retreat together today? Maybe with a tacit understanding, we can really break through the realm and condense the essence overnight... Even if we can't make it this time, we can wait for Elder Meng to bring back the Tianli Sword and then break through the mirror and come out of retreat, which can be considered a double happiness!" 

Chen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and was hesitating whether to stop his senior sister who was always thinking about things, but after changing his mind and thinking about himself, he felt relieved. 

Besides, He Weiwei's opinion was in line with his own wishes, so he nodded and said, "I'll do as you say, Senior Sister." 

He Weiwei nodded, tilted her head and smiled at Chen Zhuo, like a blooming lily. 

After sending my senior sister away, there was suddenly less movement in the room. 

Chen Zhuo unconsciously thought of what happened on Minghua Peak that day. The soft and delicate feeling on his hands at that time is still fresh in his memory. 

It was an indescribable subtle feeling, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to experience that wonderful feeling again... 

When he was feeling uneasy, Chen Zhuo shook his head violently, putting all these distracting thoughts behind him. 

"Don't rush into breaking through. Auntie is not exaggerating. In the path of cultivation, success will come naturally. But time is running out. What we can do now is to calm our mind as much as possible." 

Chen Zhuo thought secretly. 

He sat cross-legged on the bed, palms facing the sky, and slowly closed his eyes. 

Listening to the sound of heavy rain hitting the ground outside, I imagined the scene of crystal clear water splashing on the ground. 

Between the disillusionments, the world gradually became quiet and everything was silent. 

Unconsciously, the sky had completely darkened. Chen Zhuo's breathing became steady, and all distracting thoughts in his mind were gone. He slowly opened his eyes, his vision clear, and he said to himself: "I can start to break through now." 

Chen Zhuo opened the bottle of ice lotus dew that Bai Luohua had left for him, and a cool breeze emanated from the bottle, with white mist filling the air. 

He could truly feel Bai Luohua's concern for him from the ice lotus dew, and his already calm state of mind could not help but be disturbed again. 

"Zhuo'er is being willful, but he really doesn't want to wait any longer." Chen Zhuo thought to himself. 

He swallowed the ice lotus dew and began to meditate on the couch. 

Those who condense the essence condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and merge it into the true essence in the body. 

If you want to enter this realm, the first thing you need to do is to concentrate your mind and energy and feel the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. 

When he closed his eyes, he had already completed this step. 

Although practicing two supreme techniques together increased his burden, it also laid a very solid foundation for him. Compared with other cultivators, Chen Zhuo could feel and absorb spiritual energy more easily. 

However, this does not mean that he can break through smoothly. 

The Buddhist sect headed by the Fanyin Temple has a theory of cause and effect. The more unusual the cause, the more amazing the result, and the more difficult the obstacles to face. 

Chen Zhuo practiced two supreme skills at the same time, and his karma was extremely heavy, especially in such a crucial breakthrough. 

If it weren't for the Tianli Sword, Chen Zhuo would have needed half a year to prepare for the breakthrough. Now that he was forcing his way through the realm, this retreat would be dangerous. 

It was precisely because he understood this that Bai Luohua gave Chen Zhuo a bottle of Ice Lotus Dew. 

Chen Zhuo has put these concerns aside now. If he doesn't take a risk, he will have no chance to succeed once the Tianhua Sword Sect disciples bring back the Tianli Sword. If he wants to succeed, he can only take advantage of the situation. 

******************** 

It was the evening of the second day of Chen Zhuo's retreat, and the breaking mirror had reached the most critical moment. He was driving the spiritual energy to slowly pass through the meridians and gather towards the Dantian. 

Time passed by little by little. Finally, it came to the most critical moment, and beads of sweat began to seep out of Chen Zhuo's forehead. 

Just when Chen Zhuo was about to use the "Qi Tian Jue" to transform the spiritual energy into true energy, for some unknown reason, the speed of the spiritual energy suddenly increased, rushing around in the meridians. 

Intense pain surged like a tide, and Chen Zhuo's face suddenly turned pale. 

He gritted his teeth, enduring the unspeakable pain, and after forcibly transforming the raging spiritual energy into true energy, he never expected that the true energy that should have calmed down seemed to have aroused a force in his dantian that he had never felt before, and it began to flow like crazy, even more difficult to control than the spiritual energy, and actually flowed backwards from his dantian and back into his meridians! 

The most feared thing when breaking through is the reverse flow of the true essence, which can easily damage the meridians and dantian, causing the cultivation to regress instead of improve. 

Chen Zhuo felt his heart was broken, and the pain was even more severe than before, making him almost faint. 

At this moment, a chill spontaneously arose, lingering over all the meridians, protecting the meridians that were constantly breaking. 

"Ice Lotus Dew...Aunt..." Chen Zhuo muttered to himself. 

But the next moment, his heart sank. 

This time, the true essence flowed backward like a flood that broke through a dam, rushing endlessly, and even broke through the medicinal power of the Ice Lotus Dew. 

"How could this be!" 

The danger of this breakthrough far exceeded Chen Zhuo's expectations. 

Even with his temperament, he still felt panicked at this moment. 

Especially when he thought that after this, he would most likely never recover, and it would be difficult for him to cross the hurdle of the Condensation Realm, he suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. 

He was alone here, no one could help him through this difficult time, and facing the chaos in his body, he was powerless. 

Is this really the end? 

Are all his efforts of more than ten years going to be wasted? Is he going to let go of the truth of the past and the hatred of his parents' death? 

As Chen Zhuo felt sad, he suddenly felt a warmth protecting his meridians and suppressing the turbulent true energy in his body. 

"How is this possible?" Chu Chen was shocked. 

Someone came to help me. 

Chen Zhuo, who had a vague answer in his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and saw Bai Luohua standing in front of him, with extraordinary bearing and graceful manners. 

She was looking at him, her beautiful eyes, which were always majestic, showed tenderness and care. A soft hand was resting on his hand, and a steady stream of true energy flowed through his wrist into the meridians in his body. The warmth he felt just now was Bai Luohua's powerful and gentle true energy. 

"aunt..." 

"Zhuo'er, with your current strength, you are simply unable to calm the chaotic true energy in your body. Let me help you. Don't resist..." 

Chen Zhuo was slightly startled, and before he could react, the spring onion-like jade finger hooked Chen Zhuo's chin, and Bai Luohua leaned down and pressed his warm thin lips against his without saying anything. 

The fragrant tea knocked on the door and went straight into my mouth. 

Chen Zhuo had no intention to taste the soft and fragrant tongue of his aunt at this moment. His mind was blank. Although Bai Luohua was extremely beautiful and was admired by many disciples in the sect, and was the goddess of Luohua that countless people admired, because of his kinship with Bai Luohua, he never dared to have such unrealistic fantasies. Even if he could not suppress the thought, he would immediately extinguish it. 

However, this development was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect Bai Luohua to appear here, and he didn't expect that she, his aunt, would behave so intimately towards him. 

While he was in a daze, Bai Luohua had already hooked his neck and pushed him down on the couch, with some soft hair hanging down and a fragrant breeze blowing on his face. 

He had never thought of such a thing, not to mention that this person was his aunt, so he just let Bai Luohua offer her tongue while undressing him. 

Seeing that he was already naked, revealing his lean and beautiful muscles, Bai Luohua raised his head, panting slightly, looking at Chen Zhuo who was in a daze under him, and said softly: "Don't worry, leave it to your aunt." 

Bai Luohua reached out and untied his waistband, and the purple double-breasted long robe covering the outside immediately opened up, revealing the white undergarment wrapped around his chest. 

Her jade hands brushed across her graceful collarbone and her fair and smooth shoulders, and with a gentle touch, her robe slipped off, revealing the enchanting beauty of spring. 

The bottom edge of the white undergarment only reached her tight and flat belly, and a patch of black hair was faintly visible between her round white legs. 

Many disciples of Tianhua Sword Sect often wondered what kind of great talent and genius could have the honor of seeing the celestial body and bones of the goddess Luohua wrapped tightly in her robes. They guessed that this person might be Jianzi Yuan Hong, or a top master from a top sect. 

But no one could have imagined that this person was actually Chen Zhuo. 

"Aunt...you...we..." Chen Zhuo had never thought that he would have such a good fortune. Looking at his aunt with a rosy face and a pair of beautiful eyes, he was very excited. 

However, thinking of the restrictions of secular ethics, he felt a sense of guilt for his immorality. He unconsciously wanted to look away, but there was a magical power in Bai Luohua that attracted his eyes. 

Bai Luohua's cheeks flushed, and her slender hands went around her snow-white neck, untying the string of her undergarment. The undergarment slid down her smooth skin, revealing the long-awaited pair of beautiful peaks on her chest, which swayed gently with the movements of their owner. 

Bai Luohua's breasts were round, full, and beautifully shaped. Although not as big as He Weiwei's, the breast contours were impeccably round, white and firm, with two pink cherries on the peaks standing shyly. 

Chen Zhuo had never seen such a scene before. His breathing became rapid and his eyes widened. 

Bai Luohua saw her nephew's reaction. She didn't know whether it was because of the long kiss or because she and her nephew were naked, but her cheeks were flushed and she looked very charming. 

Bai Luohua couldn't help but sigh when she saw Chen Zhuo in a daze. She took Chu Chen's hand and placed it on her plump snow-capped peaks. 

Before Chen Zhuo broke through the state of retreat, he could not help but recall the feeling of accidentally touching He Weiwei's nipple. At this moment, he was caressing his aunt's breasts, and in this way... 

He felt like he was dreaming, and subconsciously grabbed it, and his palm was full, elastic, smooth and soft. Through the feedback of his palm, he could clearly feel the round, heavy and upright shape of the breast. 

With a flick of his finger, he touched the delicate nipple, and murmured, "Auntie... your breasts are beautiful and firm, and they feel very comfortable to touch." 

"Well... Today everything I have belongs to Xiao Zhuo..." Bai Luohua's body was sensitive to begin with, and once he was touched, his body went limp. 

After hearing Chen Zhuo's words, she smiled gently, hooked her hands around Chen Zhuo's neck, and pressed his head into her breasts. 

Chen Zhuo felt a warm fragrance on his face, and his entire face was pressed against his aunt's full and soft breasts, which was really fragrant and incomparable. 

Bai Luohua's actions seemed to have aroused Chen Zhuo's childhood instincts. He subconsciously sucked Bai Luohua's pink nipple and licked it with his tongue. Bai Luohua felt like she was electrocuted. The wonderful pleasure that rushed into her mind instantly made her body tremble slightly and she couldn't help but moan softly. 

Chen Zhuo gradually entered the state. Although he didn't know whether this was a dream or not, the heat on his aunt's body and the sense of sin in his heart were so real. When he broke through the so-called propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame little by little, he also felt a great sense of satisfaction. 

He stretched out his hands to hold Bai Luohua's tight waist, and pressed his face against the pair of proud breasts that made countless people salivate. The alluring scent of milk made his blood boil, and following the subtle changes in Bai Luohua's body, his tongue skills became more and more skillful. 

Bai Luohua raised his head and trembled slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he moaned in comfort. 

Chen Zhuo was her nephew, and she knew it. The shackles of secular ethics would also fall on her. If Chen Zhuo's problems were not more serious than she expected, she would not have made up her mind to have sex with him. 

Her feelings towards Chen Zhuo were complicated. Not only was Chen Zhuo related to her by blood, he also held a very special status in her hidden sect. 

She cared for Chen Zhuo not only out of compensation for her deceased sister and blood relationship, but also out of a sense of devotion. 

If Chen Zhuo wanted to obtain the Tianli Sword, not to mention the Mingxi Realm, even the lower level of the Ningyuan Realm would not be enough, and she knew this very well. 

Since she couldn't change Chen Zhuo, and things had come to this point, Bai Luohua had no choice but to go with the flow and give him her precious chastity that she had kept for more than 30 years. 

Bai Luohua's crystal-clear fingertips stroked Chen Zhuo's young and handsome face, then he lifted his chin and gave him a loving look. 

Chen Zhuo saw his aunt slowly rising up, her tall snow-white breasts swaying slightly, the tender red nipples on her breasts sticking up high, having been licked by Chu Chen until they were glistening with water, full of lustful feelings. 

She spread her round and slender thighs, and her plump pubic mound was covered with a thin layer of black curly hair. 

She lifted her plump buttocks, reached out and grasped Chen Zhuo's erect penis, and gently sat astride him. 

"Um..." 

As Chen Zhuo's glans slowly pushed open Bai Luohua's two tender lips, the two of them groaned at the same time. 

Chen Zhuo only felt that it was warm, slippery, and unusually tight. Before this, he had never known what intercourse was. Now that he had tasted it, he could not stop. The soft labia seemed to have an extremely strong suction force that made his back tremble. 

However, the penis that penetrated into the vagina did not reach the bottom. Chen Zhuo felt that his glans encountered a layer of obstruction. 

Chen Zhuo was slightly startled at first, but after realizing that this was an important item that represented Bai Luohua's chastity for more than thirty years, he couldn't help but be moved. 

Only then did he finally realize how precious what Bai Luohua was going to give was, and he couldn't help but say: "Aunt...you are..." 

In this situation, Bai Luohua was particularly sensitive to the word "Auntie". Hearing it, he felt even more itchy and numb, and his body became even softer. 

She looked at Chen Zhuo, who was sitting under her, with a pair of tender eyes. 

"From now on, I...will belong to Zhuo'er..." 

She stuffed the penis in her and immediately felt a stinging pain and fullness. The pain of losing her virginity made her bite her lips tightly. She couldn't help but raise her head and moan. Her body, which was sitting astride Chen Zhuo, trembled slightly. 

At this moment, Bai Luohua only felt a burning sensation in her lower body, and dared not make any large movements. She just held Chen Zhuo's tight waist and moved slowly, and her pair of plump snow-white breasts and her soft black hair also swayed along. 

Chen Zhuo looked carefully and saw that Bai Luohua's tender skin was lightly pink and her rosy face was extremely attractive. He was even more touched when he thought that Bai Luohua had given her precious virginity to her nephew. "Aunt, why are you so nice to me?" 

Bai Luohua felt the penis that had completely entered her vagina, swayed her beautiful hips, and said softly: "Not for anything else, just because you are Zhuo'er." 

Chen Zhuo couldn't help being moved upon hearing this. Bai Luohua was extremely beautiful and had an extraordinary aura. When he thought that this extremely charming aunt had become his first woman, and he had become her first man, his eyes when he looked at Bai Luohua changed slightly. 

He took the initiative to reach out and hold Bai Luohua's beautiful white buttocks, and while lying on the bed, he also took the initiative to push up. 

With Chen Zhuo's active thrusting, Bai Luohua felt even more intense, and every time she was thrust into the center of her flower, she couldn't help but moan. 

"Auntie... am I moving too fast... will it hurt..." 

"Hmm...ah...no...very comfortable...Zhuo'er's thing...makes me feel very comfortable..." 

The two of them usually talk in such a lewd way. For a moment, they both felt something strange in their hearts, which made the pleasure of intercourse even more ecstatic. 

At first, these obscene words made people blush, but as both sides opened their hearts to each other, they became more and more bold. 

"Zhuo Er... is so powerful... it hit my center... ahhhh..." 

Chen Zhuo felt the hot and slippery vagina tighten suddenly, sucking him so hard that he almost ejaculated. He saw his aunt lying on him tense up as if she had received an electric shock, and her eyes were full of beauty. 

Although Chen Zhuo was still a virgin, he subconsciously held back his sperm, grasped Bai Luohua's slender waist, and thrust forward with all his strength, using his strong body to push his penis straight to the end again and again. 

"Ahh...I am so happy...oh..." 

With the sound of "pa pa", a stream of heat finally erupted from the depths of the flower hole, and honey splashed everywhere. 

"Aunt...Zhuo'er...Zhuo'er can't help it..." 

Every time Bai Luohua sat down and completely engulfed the hot penis, Chen Zhuo would let out a deep roar. 

After a thorough penetration, Bai Luohua's Yin essence, which had been kept for more than 30 years, suddenly burst out. Chen Zhuo only felt a warm current washing over his swollen glans, followed by a strong yet gentle force flowing along the open urethra and straight into his dantian. 

After this force entered his body, it turned into countless pure and gentle true essences and spirits, making Chen Zhuo feel as if he had reached a fairyland. He could no longer hold back and gushed out the thick and hot yang essence, pouring it into the depths of the flower hole that was contracting violently. 

Bai Luohua could no longer sit still, and collapsed directly on Chen Zhuo's body. The two beautiful snow-white peaks pressed against his chest, soft and elastic, and extremely comfortable. 

Chen Zhuo put his arms around Bai Luohua and held her tightly, enjoying the afterglow of the climax. 

But he remembered the blood relationship between him and Bai Luohua, and couldn't help showing a bit of shame. He couldn't help but speak first to break the warm tranquility, "Aunt, I..." 

Before he could say a few words, he suddenly saw a white jade finger pressing his lips, and she said: "Silly boy, after doing such a thing... why are you still calling me aunt?" 

Chen Zhuo's heart moved. When he thought of the hidden meaning behind Bai Luohua's words, he felt his heartbeat quicken. He called out with seven parts of surprise and three parts of nervousness: "Luohua..." 

"Hmm." Bai Luohua's face turned slightly red, and she suddenly looked charming. 

Hearing Bai Luohua really agree, Chen Zhuo was overwhelmed with emotions. 

He hugged the boneless body in his arms, feeling as if he had had an absurd dream. Yesterday, the beauty in his arms was his respected aunt, but now the two of them were so intimate and ambiguous... 

As I was thinking, I heard Bai Luohua's soft and moving voice, with a slight breath and a bit of spring charm in her voice: "Did you have a happy birthday?" 

Although he received gifts from Bai Luohua and He Weiwei yesterday, Chen Zhuo was completely focused on his retreat and didn't pay much attention to his birthday. 

At this time, Bai Luohua said this, Chen Zhuo realized that Bai Luohua had such a purpose for his sacrifice this time, and he couldn't help but be touched, and murmured: "Zhuo'er has never been so happy." 

He stroked Bai Luohua's extremely soft black hair, with mixed feelings, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Luohua, although I was reckless in rushing to break through this realm, the serious consequences were also unexpected. Did you expect it, otherwise you wouldn't..." 

Bai Luohua hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Your physique and bloodline are extremely special. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are unique in this world. You are even better than the innate sword embryo and the innate spirit body, the two rarest existences... However, if your uniqueness is known to others, it may not be a good thing. Before your father sent you away, your mother, who was already injured, planted her life essence into your body in order to cover up your secret, causing damage to her dantian and foundation, thus aggravating her injuries. And your mother was so sad about your father's death that she had already made up her mind to die at that time and refused to heal her wounds, so she passed away." 

"Mother..." 

Chen Zhuo was moved upon hearing this, and looked sad. 

The life essence is extremely important to cultivators. If a cultivator in the Condensation Realm loses his life essence, he will be useless forever. Even if a cultivator in the Profound Realm or even the Divine Mind Realm loses his life essence, his cultivation level will drop and his vitality will be seriously damaged. He will probably never make any progress in his life. 

He could imagine the pain his mother was going through at the time, and also felt her sincere love for him. 

Bai Luohua raised her bare hands and caressed Chen Zhuo's head lovingly. She sighed softly and continued, "After your mother implanted her life essence into you, you looked like a normal cultivator and your cultivation speed was suppressed. This was to protect you from attracting too much attention, especially when you were at a lower level and had not yet fully grown. Being too outstanding might bring disaster to you. Otherwise, with your unique talent, even if you practiced Qi Tian Jue and Wu Wang Jian Jue at the same time, you would have been able to break through the Ning Yuan realm at least a year earlier, and you might even have entered the Tong Xuan realm at the age of twenty." 

Chu Chen was stunned: "It's actually... like this." 

Bai Luohua continued, "The reason why you went wrong when you were forcibly breaking through the realm this time was because you accidentally triggered the retrograde of your original life essence, which led to the retrograde of your new life essence. However, with your current strength, you are simply unable to calm the chaotic life essence in your body... Your mother and I are sisters, and our blood and life essence are highly compatible, so you need my virgin essence as a trigger to dissolve the life essence that your mother planted in your body, and at the same time help you break through the realm and condense your essence." 

Chen Zhuo had a complicated expression when he heard this, but he didn't expect that behind this incident, there were so many secrets that he didn't know, as well as his mother's deep love for him, and his aunt... 

After a long silence, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did you say, Auntie...Luo Hua, that my physique and bloodline are unique?" 

Bai Luohua shook his head and said, "Zhuo'er, you will understand later. Now is not the right time." 

Chen Zhuo's eyes flickered and he frowned slightly. 

Bai Luohua must be hiding something from him, and it may be related to the truth of his parents' accident and other secrets. Maybe...it has something to do with him. 

But since Bai Luohua was not ready to tell him now, he did not force it and just nodded. 

After a while of tenderness, Bai Luohua stood up and put on her purple double-breasted robe again. For a moment, she seemed to have turned back into the extremely noble guest of Tianhua Sword Sect. She slightly tilted her delicate and moving face and said softly: "You can just sit here and meditate and regulate your breathing. You don't have to see me off." 

Chen Zhuo stood up and stared at the bright red stain on the bed sheet and the blood on his penis. 

Beauty is so kind... 

At the same time, he felt that he had changed as well, as if he had truly grown up. 

After Bai Luohua left, Chen Zhuo entered into meditation again. 

The virgin essence that Bai Luohua presented to him calmed the reversed true essence in his dantian and also protected his meridians throughout his body. 

Chen Zhuo no longer needed to worry about the hidden dangers of a forced breakthrough. The true essence and spiritual energy in his Dantian was now rich and powerful, and he could use it at will without worrying about running out of money. 

Another day passed, and when the first rays of morning light fell into the window, Chen Zhuo slowly opened his eyes. 

The light in his eyes was bright, like a divine weapon being unsheathed. 

In Dantian, the true essence is abundant, like a river. 

The highest grade in Condensation Realm. 

Chen Zhuo couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Luo Hua..." 

He was able to achieve such success today, all thanks to the help of this Luohua goddess. 

In order to help him overcome the difficulties and give him a better chance of obtaining the Tianli Sword, Bai Luohua broke the shackles of secular ethics and sacrificed her chastity which she had kept for more than 30 years. 

This kindness is really too great. 

Chen Zhuo looked up and saw the silver silk soft armor on the table again. He remembered that Bai Luohua had mentioned that He Weiwei was interested in him, and his expression became complicated. 

He took a deep breath and didn't think any more about it. 

After putting on the soft armor and closing his coat, he picked up a long sword hanging on the wall and went out. 

"The Tianli Sword...I will definitely get it." 

******************** 

Chen Zhuo left the sect without telling anyone, and rode his horse out of the mountain gate, heading straight to the west. 

Lin Zhe saw Chen Zhuo leaving without saying goodbye from afar, frowned, turned around and went up to Canghua Peak to tell Liu Yanping about this matter. 

"Master, look at this..." 

"It's okay, don't worry about him." 

Liu Yanping seemed to have expected this and was not very moved by the news. 

Lin Zhe still had some doubts and hesitated to speak: "But..." 

Liu Yanping said softly: "I have my own plans." 

Seeing Liu Yanping's calm demeanor, as if he had it all planned out, Lin Zhe heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Since the Sect Master has it in mind, I won't worry about it either." 

He glanced at the three thousand floating clouds in front of the Canghua Peak, bowed, and left. 

Liu Yanping stood alone with his hands behind his back, looking down at the sea of ​​clouds with a deep gaze. 

This stop lasted for a full hour. 

Bai Luohua came behind Liu Yanping without knowing when, took a deep look at his back, and said softly: "I am here to say goodbye. I will be away from the Sword Sect for a while. After I leave, I hope the Sect Master can help me take care of Chen Zhuo." 

Liu Yanping nodded, turned around and looked at Bai Luohua. Although he was still the same Bai Keqing, there were some subtle changes. 

Liu Yanping was silent for a while, then asked, "How far do you think he can go?" 

Bai Luohua said: "I believe he can get the Tianli Sword." 

Liu Yanping smiled slightly and said to himself: "Is it because he practiced the Qi Tian Jue? The Qi Tian Jue and the Tian Li Sword are both related to the Tianmen, and they have the same origin. It is reasonable for the Tian Li Sword to be close to him." 

Bai Luohua did not comment. 

The reason why she believed that Chen Zhuo could obtain the Tianli Sword was not only because of what Liu Yanping said, but more importantly, it was because of Chen Zhuo himself. 

This nephew of hers is a unique person in the world. 

Qi Tian Jue is the skill gained by knocking on the Heaven Gate, Tian Li Sword is the magic sword made of the magic iron that fell from the Heaven Gate, and Chen Zhuo... Liu Yan said calmly: "Don't worry, I will handle Chen Zhuo's affairs." 

Bai Luohua nodded and said softly: "In that case, I will trouble you, Master." 

She turned around and took a step, then she became like a floating cloud, disappearing without a trace at the top of Canghua Peak. 

********************On this day, not only were the gates of Baixi City in Lingzhou wide open, but Lingzhou Governor Kang Ming also personally went out of the city twenty miles away and waited in a pavilion for Princess Yongming's carriage. 

One hundred personal guards accompanied him, as well as several experts from the Tiance Palace, plus a number of officials, so the scene was quite impressive. 

It was early winter, with snow flying everywhere. The city was less bustling with sunshine. Even though Kang Ming was wearing a feather coat, he still felt the stinging cold wind after a while. However, even though Kang Ming was shivering, he had to grit his teeth and wait here. 

Originally, he didn't need to be so respectful, he just needed to greet him at the right time, but he was really unlucky recently. 

More than ten days ago, his eldest son was seriously injured by bandits in Baixi City. Kang Ming was furious and wanted to get to the bottom of it. The court also sent experts from Tiance Mansion to capture the bandits, but he didn't expect that the news of Tianli Sword would be involved. He immediately felt that it was not good. This was undoubtedly a hot potato. 

However, the terrible thing was that just as the people from Tiance Mansion left Lingzhou, he caused a big trouble here - one of his staff members accidentally said something while drinking with a famous scholar, and spread the news about Tianli Sword. 

After the news leaked, the furious Kang Ming reacted quickly, sending people to silence the suspect while dispatching his men to investigate. 

However, the famous scholar had long since disappeared, and although the aide to Kang Ming's mansion had been imprisoned, nothing useful had been uncovered during the interrogation. 

As for the news about the Tianli Sword, it could not be concealed no matter what. However, to Kang Ming's surprise, the news spread almost overnight, and the source of the news, Baixi City and Duanfeng Mountain, was in turmoil. 

This made him smell something unusual, as if a huge vortex was sweeping across the land starting from Lingzhou, and as the prefect of Lingzhou, he was at the center of the vortex and couldn't escape. 

Kang Ming knew very well that after this incident, he would not be able to continue to be the prefect of Lingzhou, but he could still make up for this loss. 

Now that Princess Yongming is coming to Baixi City, this is his only chance. He must leave a good impression in front of the Princess. 

The north wind suddenly grew stronger, Kang Ming shivered, subconsciously wrapped his coat tightly around him, and looked into the distance, which was beyond his reach. 

Suddenly, he heard the Tiance Palace master beside him remind him, "Here they come." Kang Ming was immediately shocked, but he looked around but did not see any trace of the convoy. 

However, he did not show any doubt, but straightened his appearance, stood up straight, and waited there more respectfully. 

When he thought of the rumors about the princess who was so beautiful that she could overwhelm everyone, he became more and more nervous, and kept reminding himself to keep the Qingming Festival and not make any mistakes. 

Not long after, a group of people appeared in the vastness. Although there were only more than 30 people, no one dared to underestimate them. Not only were there masters from Tiance Mansion, but also unfathomable monks from Wuyou Palace. 

More than a hundred people, including the Lingzhou prefect, knelt down like a tide and said respectfully: "Welcome to the princess." 

Everyone, including Kang Ming, knew very well that although Princess Yongming was the Saint of Wuyou Palace, she came here not only to represent Wuyou Palace, but also to represent the imperial court. 

As the motorcade approached, a gentle and moving voice came from the luxurious carriage: "No need to be polite, everyone." 

I don't know what kind of magic this sentence has, it made everyone lose their minds for a moment, and it took them a few breaths to react. 

After everyone stood up, the respect on their faces became even stronger. 

Just a voice has such charm, what would it be like if you were lucky enough to see it in person? 

Ke Jianyun rode on a horse with fiery red fur, looking at the officials who came to greet him outside Baixi City, with a playful smile on his face. 

These people were already in a state of panic after hearing Ling Chufei's voice. If they saw the real person in a moment, wouldn't they be unable to even walk? 

But this is not surprising. After all, among the brothers and sisters in Wuyou Palace, those who can remain calm in front of Ling Chufei can be counted on one hand. 

Ke Jianyun rode forward and said, "I am Ke Jianyun, and I am honored to meet the prefect. Thank you for welcoming me from afar. My junior sister and I are very grateful." 

The north wind outside the city was biting, and Kang Ming, who had finally seen Concubine Ling Chu's carriage, simply exchanged a few words outside the city before welcoming the group back into the city. 

Because the situation in Baixi City is very delicate, the commander of the guards has specially dispatched 3,000 soldiers to camp outside the city to prevent any unexpected events. 

Ling Chufei did not show her face all the way until she arrived at the residence of the Baixi County Magistrate, where she finally got off the car. 

After the news of the Tianli Sword leaked out, Kang Ming came here to take charge, and the county magistrate naturally vacated his mansion. At this time, Princess Yongming also came here, and Kang Ming naturally gave the mansion to the princess. 

All the officials, big and small, lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly at her. Only after the princess' skirt dragged over the threshold of the gate did they raise their heads and follow carefully. 

Ordinary people may have a superficial understanding of the stunning beauty of Princess Yongming, but those who have worked in the officialdom know very well that Princess Yongming has a rare and charming body, and her charm is indescribable, and few people can resist her. 

"As the news of the Tianli Sword leaked out, the situation in Baixi City and Duanfeng Mountain became extremely complicated. Sects of all sizes sent disciples here, including those from Jing Country and the Western Regions. They may have their own agenda or be trying to take advantage of the situation. Even the Luofu Sword Sect in Beiqiang Country has made some moves. It is reported that the Luofu Sword Sect's people set out two days ago and are now heading towards Baixi City." 

Kang Ming bowed his head and said that before Ling Chufei arrived, he had already sorted out the situation in Baixi City, and now he could speak very smoothly. 

Hearing the words "Luofu Sword Sect", everyone present was moved. 

Six hundred years ago, when it came to swordsmanship, Luofu Sword School was recognized as the best in the world. Luofu Sword School had a thousand-year heritage, and many sword masters emerged. It was the leader among all the sects in Northern Qiang, and it could be said to have a profound foundation. 

However, ever since the birth of Chen Tianhao, the brilliant master of Tianhua Sword Sect, Luofu Sword Sect has had a rival in the art of swordsmanship. 

Today, six hundred years later, there is the saying of North Luofu and South Tianhua. However, due to the disappearance of Tianli Sword, Luofu Sword Sect is still two points ahead of Tianhua Sword Sect. 

Ke Jianyun glanced at Ling Chufei, whose eyes were narrowed slightly, and asked, "Sir, do you have any news about the Tianhua Sword Sect?" 

When Kang Ming first saw this handsome and elegant man, he felt that he was of some importance. After Ling Chufei introduced him, he learned his identity. Now he looked at Ke Jianyun with a more solemn look. 

Ke Jianyun is the son of Wuyou Palace's Palace Master Ke Chengyu. He is slightly older than Ling Chufei and has just reached the middle level of Condensation Realm. If Wuyou Palace did not have Ling Chufei, who is extremely talented, this young Palace Master of Wuyou Palace would be the most dazzling one among the younger generation. 

Although he is not as evil as Ling Chufei, he is still a rare talent, and he is close to her. If he is not careful, he may become the future prince consort. 

Kang Ming did not dare to neglect and replied: "The Tianli Sword is the sacred object of the Tianhua Sword Sect. Previously, someone noticed that a master who was suspected to be from the Tianhua Sword Sect appeared in the Western Regions. Now that the news of the Tianli Sword has spread all over the world, the Tianhua Sword Sect must have taken action. According to the information we have received, this time the Tianhua Sword Sect, led by the law enforcement elder Meng Changfeng, the sword master Yuan Hong and the guest of Canghua Peak Wang Guanjian, brought several young disciples with them. They are on their way and may arrive tomorrow. Together with the five Tongxuan realm masters who are returning from the Western Regions, there are only more than ten people, but they are all difficult to deal with." 

When Ling Chufei heard about Tianhua Sword Sect, she remembered something and a strange look flashed in her eyes. 

But she didn't ask in detail, just nodded slightly and asked: "What else?" 

Kang Ming said: "My Lady Princess, there are great disturbances in the martial arts world, and there are also many disturbances in the imperial court. The Northern Qiang are coming with great force. Not only has the Luofu Sword Sect taken action, but the Northern Qiang Royal Court has also dispatched 8,000 light cavalry to the north of Duanfeng Mountain, less than a hundred miles away, and they are confronting our 10,000 Xingwu Army." 

Ling Chufei smiled lightly and said with emotion: "Prefect Kang, your staff member really accomplished a great thing." 

Kang Ming knelt down with a thud, cold sweat pouring out, and said: "I will never refuse even if I die!" 

Ling Chufei said calmly: "Stand up, I will give you a chance to make amends. I will discuss rewards and punishments after the matter of the Tianli Sword is settled." 

She looked out the window. 

The cold wind suddenly became even more fierce, blowing the snowflakes all over the sky. 

"What a strong wind..." 

Concubine Ling Chu looked solemn and spoke softly to herself. 

******************** 

It is said that Princess Yongming is a natural beauty, and ordinary people will be unable to extricate themselves from her as long as they take a look at her. However, many people do not believe that there is such a stunning woman in the world, and at most regard these statements as flattery by famous and romantic officials. 

However, when the news that Princess Yongming stayed at the Baixi County Magistrate's residence spread, it still caused a sensation. 

If it weren't for the tight security around the mansion, I'm afraid many people would be willing to wander around the magistrate's mansion a few more times. If the princess happened to be out, she would be lucky enough to see her from afar and witness the legendary beauty. 

Even though they couldn't meet, people in the streets and alleys of the city were still talking about it enthusiastically, especially in the taverns and brothels. 

Fine wine and beautiful women are always the topics that talented and romantic people are most happy to talk about, let alone a woman like Princess Yongming who is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, so naturally people will talk about it with great relish. 

In the wing room, Zhou Xun unscrupulously put his hands into his collar and kneaded the soft and smooth jade peaks. He tasted the fragrant wine from her soft and thin mouth, licked his lips and felt the lingering fragrance of the wine. He listened to the excitement outside the screen, and laughed at his lips. He whispered: "It's a pity that these people can only satisfy their desire for food at most, and have no chance to meet the Princess Yongming. They will never understand that no matter how gorgeous the words are, they will look pale when used on Princess Yongming. After seeing her, all women in the world are pale." 

Hearing Zhou Xun's impolite words, the beautiful lady in his arms was not unhappy, but whispered softly and charmingly: "Mr. Zhou is so greedy that he is still looking at the pot while eating from the bowl. However, if Mr. Zhou can win the beauty's heart and let me have another sister who is as beautiful as a fairy, I will be happy from the bottom of my heart." 

To be honest, this Mr. Zhou was surrounded by beautiful women. He was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, and beside him sat a woman with extraordinary bearing, more mature and more beautiful. 

Both of them were not ordinary beauties, but he was embraced by them. When he entered the restaurant not long ago, all the guests cast envious glances at him. It would be a lie to say that they were not jealous, but no one was brave enough to take action. 

The brothels and taverns here are not ordinary. Although they do all kinds of business, the owner has a great background. He is the Ruyi Tower, which has the most extensive connections and is the most familiar to people in the underworld. 

Ruyi Tower is unique among the sects in Jingguo. While others live in quiet places in the mountains and forests, they take root in the prosperous city, spreading their branches to thousands of households. Many wine shops, brothels and casinos are their businesses. 

Although the disciples of Ruyi Tower were not outstanding in cultivation, they were all smart people, and they were good at taking advantage of situations, creating momentum, and winning people's hearts. 

Because Ruyilou has extensive connections, and is involved in both black and white, it seems to be rootless and a soft persimmon, but few smart people dare to cause trouble in Ruyilou's industry, for fear of accidentally stirring up a hornet's nest. 

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this young man in fine clothes and silk not only had a close relationship with Ruyi Tower, but was also a person of great rank. 

Apart from other things, one can tell from the respectful attitude of the restaurant owner towards him. 

Zhou Xun pinched the woman's plump buttocks in his arms and said with a smile: "You know what, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Ling Chu is now in her prime, not only is she the Saint of Wuyou Palace, but she is also favored by the Emperor, and I really want to know what it feels like to enjoy the wonderful body of that natural beauty." 

The beautiful woman beside him, who was wearing a lake green high-slit silk dress, chuckled and said softly, "Mr. Zhou, you are too modest. You should know that you are extraordinary. You are the only son of Zhou Yan, the left prime minister. It's not right for Mr. Zhou to take down a prince or princess." 

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Ms. Ming's little mouth is not only good at blowing and swallowing, but also good at speaking. It's really amazing. But I won't fall for this provocation. There are many beautiful women in the world. I don't want to be a playboy who dies under the peony flowers." 

The Ming girl he mentioned is not simple either. 

The drinkers outside didn't know that the mature woman with a pair of slender white legs was Ming Ruoxue, the daughter of the owner of Ruyi Tower. 

The one sitting in Zhou Xun's arms and the one he held in his arms were all the most beautiful women in Ruyi Tower. 

In addition to the daughter of the owner of Ruyi Tower, the charming beauty in his arms is Li Shiyu, the courtesan of Ruyi Tower. 

It can be seen that the left prime minister's faction has a close relationship with Ruyi Tower. The imperial court has also turned a blind eye to some officials' friendship with the martial arts sects. As long as they do not cross the line, it is not a big deal, because doing so can also bring these martial arts forces into the eyes of the court, and even bring them under the control of the court. The court can also use these complicated relationships to do some things that are difficult for them to do but have to do. 

Zhou Xun drank the wine in the glass, then stood up with his sword, smiled and said, "Although I dare not make plans with Princess Yongming, but since she is here, I have to go and pay my respects to her, so as not to give others something to talk about. You two should wash up and wait for me to come back. We will have a dragon and two phoenixes tonight."
