Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

"Elder Liu, stop!"

Within the Heavenly Sword Sect, numerous figures crossed the sky swiftly, each exuding a terrifying presence.

The eight Great Elders, at the very least, were Baiyu Capital Cultivators who had opened two cities, and the two among them at the forefront even possessed the power to open the third city of Shang Huang, similar to Liu Xingshan.

Few things in the world could stir the hearts of such powerful beings.

But a confrontation between a Daozi and a Sect Elder definitely counted as one of those things.

"Me?!"

Within the light screen, Liu Xingshan nearly couldn't catch his breath.

Stop? He had watched helplessly as his dwelling was destroyed; there was no chance for him to act!

According to his impatient nature, if it had been anyone else outside, he would have long since summoned the projection of the great city and called forth his Dao Soldier to fight his way out.

But when it came to impatience, no one in the entire Heavenly Sword Sect could match that woman.

Liu Xingshan was very clear that neither the Sect Master nor the other Elders could possibly stand by and watch this battle of magic unfold.

Even if Su Hongxiu held a lofty status, at least for now, she was just a Daozi.

Indeed, as he had anticipated.

The Elders, who had rushed over in a hurry, surrounded Su Hongxiu faintly after they let out that cold shout, calling out Liu Xingshan's name, though their figures subtly enclosed her.

"Hongxiu, you should also calm down. Whatever the matter is, put away the Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier first and we will discuss it."

This situation had happened many years ago once before; Liu Xingshan had truly nearly lost his life at that time, while Su Hongxiu barely won and also had a hard time.

The reason back then was that Liu Xingshan had challenged her Daozi status.

Bluntly speaking, it was a dispute over the He Dao Bao Di.

After that battle, there was absolutely no chance for Liu Xingshan to obtain the Heavenly Sword's legacy.

Therefore, the Elders really couldn't understand what had happened to cause the familiar scene to reoccur within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Are the Elders teaching me how to conduct my affairs?"

Su Hongxiu's gaze swept over those around her, her fingers tight on the sword hilt. As she spoke, the smooth blade lazily lifted and pointed to the side.

A faint smile played on her lips, teasingly saying, "You all want to have a go at it too, is that it?"

The relaxed White Jade sword blade swept through the air, and the Elders it pointed at instinctively raised their eyebrows, a trace of reluctance stirring in their hearts.

For a moment, the entire scene fell into an eerie, deathly silence.

This sudden turn of events, involving both the Heavenly Sword Daozi and the eight Elders, caused such a commotion that not only the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect but also those invited to the Seven Sons Grand Assembly from various powers couldn't help feeling alarmed.

What did this mean?

Had the Heavenly Sword Sect begun to fight internally?

Disagreements between the Daozi and the Elders occurred in nearly nine out of ten Immortal Sects since they were all at the Baiyu Capital's Boundary, involving significant conflicts of interest, but to make it so public and well-known was rather rare.

"This..."

The anxiously rushing Su Yushang, once she saw the scene before her, couldn't help her expression changing slightly, freezing on the spot.

She believed her sister would not cause trouble without reason and that whatever she did, she had her own thoughts.

But why did things escalate to this extent? Could there have been no better way?

Fairy Bao Hua, who normally avoided trouble, stood quietly behind Su Yushang. Though she liked liveliness, she knew to distinguish the severity of the situation. Today's event was obviously not something she, a Return to Void sixth-layer cultivator, could involve herself in.

Rustle, rustle——

Accompanied by a sudden gust of wind.

Just then, a shadow that obscured the sky and sun appeared in the firmament, rippling like water, barely discernible in its basic form.

The shadow looked down upon the world, a voice like a great bronze bell echoing throughout the Inner Sect.

Only those familiar with him could discern the slight helplessness in his tone.

"Are you acting foolish here because you think he has done something, but you can't find the evidence to prove it?"

Within the He Dao Bao Di, only one person could command heaven and earth.

If the Seven Sons of Hong were said to live or die together as one entity, then the Nanyang Sect was the soul of the seven, assuming the duty of command, while the Heavenly Sword Sect was the sharp blade in its hand, concerned only with whom to kill.

As the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a giant at the Unity Realm Stage,

It was rare for him to be so gentle.

However, Su Hongxiu did not take advantage of the opportunity to back down but instead looked up, nodding earnestly, "Yes."

She intended to play the fool, without offering any clarification.

Hearing this, the other Elders' expressions changed subtly, and Liu Xingshan, from within the remaining half of the light screen, finally could not restrain himself and leaped out, raging, "Time and again, you're completely unreasonable, willful, and reckless! How do you resemble a Daozi at all?!"

These words were a bit heavy.

Even suggesting to the other Elders to join forces and remove Su Hongxiu's position as Daozi.

Yet, the shadow in the sky seemed as if he had heard nothing.

His facial features became slightly clearer, those eyes gazing intently at Su Hongxiu for a long while before speaking softly, "The Heavenly Sword Sect is not a place for you to fool around... Do not open the third city, do not harm anyone's life, and afterwards, provide your teacher with the evidence."

"..."

Upon hearing this, not only were the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect stunned, even those from the other Sects stood frozen in place.

Provide the evidence afterwards? There was actually such a saying in the world.

This was almost tantamount to stating that Su Hongxiu's position as the future Sect Master was unshakable.

What kind of extraordinary talent could elicit such indulgence from a giant of the Unity Realm Stage.

"I..."

Liu Xingshan was also shocked and stayed suspended in place.

Soon, his old face turned red as he directed his gaze at a distant figure.

He had actually anticipated this unchangeable decision regarding the Daozi long ago, so he was not too disappointed. After all, he now had the choice of the Nanyang Treasure Land, and there was no need to nibble at a tougher bone.
