Chapter 9: Sword Sect Arrives, Caught for Speeding
Cultivators who possess great power can easily change the weather as long as they reach the Yuanying Stage.
Therefore, some well-known construction teams nowadays are equipped with a Yuanying Stage Cultivator to create favorable construction environments when necessary.
After all, Combined Dao Grand Masters have gone into live streaming, so it doesn't seem like a big deal for Yuanying Stage Cultivators to do things like this.
But the reality is not like that.
You must know that once Cultivators embark on the path of cultivation, their mentality will unconsciously change, and they will instinctively believe that they and Mortals are two different kinds of beings.
Given the vastness of the Central Continent, a Yuanying Stage Cultivator could easily occupy a territory and act as they pleased before going into seclusion, but now they are willingly doing civil engineering...
'Saint Emperor Yuan... truly amazing.'
Xu Xing sighed in his heart.
It was still raining outside. The punch just now did not affect the weather here. The small flowers in the garden outside were swaying precariously in the storm.
The hazy rain shrouded the world, making it impossible to see into the distance.
Returning to the television, it was broadcasting the construction site of the construction team from earlier. Several Golden Cores were seen casting spells together, filling the large pit created during the fight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Turning stone into mud, a simplified version of pointing at the ground to make steel, and an improved version of summoning wind and rain.
Amidst the light of various spells, various building materials flew through the sky. Some of the spell applications were surprising even to Xu Xing.
Looking at this, it won't take long to rebuild the damaged buildings.
Gradually, the sky darkened, and the rain stopped. Xu Xing turned off the television and went outside.
The air after the rain was exceptionally fresh. On the ground were some washed-off petals and leaves. Perhaps due to that punch, the rain this time was particularly heavy, and the various flowers in the garden were severely ravaged.
Xu Xing glanced around, raised his hand, and a vortex swept up the petals and leaves from the ground, depositing them into the trash can by the roadside outside.
Then he looked up and saw 'meteors' of various colors breaking through the sky under the night sky.
Those were the Cultivators' escape lights.
Various colored escape lights streaked across the Starry Sky, some of which carried a somewhat familiar aura.
With Xuanjian City under attack, relatives and friends who were away naturally couldn't sit still. Even if only a portion returned, it was still a considerable number.
Meanwhile, inside the municipal building, the Mayor, seeing this scene, was still a bit flustered. What if some poor devils from the Demonic Path snuck in again?
Didn't this mess today happen because of a penniless wretch from the Demonic Path!
Furthermore, it's still unclear who the Grand Master who came out of seclusion is. Things cannot be chaotic now.
However, the Grand Master from the Supreme Dao Sect had not left yet, which reassured him greatly.
Xu Xing watched the night sky for a while. The escape lights were endless. He turned around and walked inside.

"Senior Brother, everyone says the Cultivator who came out of seclusion this time is a Senior from our Sword Sect, but which Senior is it exactly?"
Three figures were flying side by side on swords. They all looked young and wore blue martial attire, which was clearly the uniform of Sword Sect Inner Sect Disciples from many years ago. At their waists was a blue jade token, engraved with the character 'Sword'.
This indicated that all three were Sword Sect Inner Sect Disciples, and their Yuanying Stage cultivation placed them among the top ranks of Inner Sect Disciples.
The young man in the middle had a steady demeanor, his magic power was vast and vigorous, and he himself was like a precious sword hidden in its sheath.
"Don't ask too many questions. I can only say this is a great Opportunity, perhaps the only one we will have in our entire cultivation lives," Lin Qiuxian said in a deep voice.
The two beside him felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this. They knew that this Senior Brother of theirs had a deep background, outstanding talent, and was a potential candidate for a Combined Dao Grand Master.
"I have something I'd like the two Junior Brothers to remember."
"Please speak, Senior Brother."
His attitude made the two of them not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"Absolutely, absolutely do not bully others by relying on your status."
"Senior Brother is joking, I've always been friendly with others," the young man on the left said with a smile.
"I understand," the young man on the right replied dully.
Lin Qiuxian said no more.
Unlike these two ignorant Junior Brothers, he knew some inside information through his elder, which is why he paid a huge price to get this Opportunity.
This Sword Sect Senior who came out of seclusion is most fond of granting opportunities to juniors after coming out. This time is even more special.
He is striving for this very Opportunity!
However, this Senior also has a very heavy killing intent. If one is not careful and angers him, let alone him, even the elder behind him will be implicated.
But Opportunity and risk coexist. If he can obtain this Opportunity, let alone Combined Dao, he might even catch a glimpse of the Realm beyond!
His thoughts raced. Lin Qiuxian looked at the approaching Xuanjian City, a hint of excitement inevitably surging in his heart.
"Two Junior Brothers, let's go faster!"
Before he finished speaking, the sword light suddenly intensified. Perhaps the Senior was watching now, and he could leave an impression!
"Hahaha! Senior Brother, wait for me!"
The two, one after the other, their sword lights like startled swans.
However, the seemingly dull young man still maintained his original speed.
Emm...
Two Senior Brothers, if nothing unexpected happens and I haven't miscalculated, shouldn't we be speeding?
The Grand Master from the Supreme Dao Sect and Xiao Ning Zhenren haven't left yet.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, a large hand of Origin Qi appeared out of thin air, grabbed the two of them, and then quickly retracted towards the municipal building.
"Ah! Not good, we're speeding!"
"No! I know I was wrong, Senior!"
Their screams echoed in the night sky. The dull young man scratched his head upon seeing this, then also turned around and flew towards the municipal building, but his speed...
Slowed down even more.
The Supreme Dao Sect is a friendly sect; they will at most teach the two Senior Brothers a lesson. There will definitely be no danger.
…………
Meanwhile, at Zhang Yunlu's home, Zhang Yunlu was distractedly eating her meal.
Zhang Xiu, sitting across from her, was a little worried, but when he asked, she only said she was scared today.
"I'm full," Zhang Yunlu put down her chopsticks.
Zhang Xiu glanced at the bowl of rice that was still more than half full: "Then go rest, Xiao Lu. If it's really too much, I'll ask for leave for you tomorrow."
"Okay~"
He didn't know if she heard him. She swayed back to her bedroom.
"Alas~" Zhang Xiu sighed.
When his parents passed away, Zhang Yunlu became his only relative, but due to the age gap, he never really knew how to get along with his sister.
At this moment, even if he wanted to comfort her, he didn't know where to start.
And those people...
But after such an incident, they should quiet down for a while, right?
In the bedroom, Zhang Yunlu was lying spreadeagled on the bed, her eyes a little vacant.
That purple sword light, and the demonic hand that was cut off, this scene kept replaying in her mind.
The collision of divine abilities between Combined Dao Grand Masters is bound to affect onlookers.
For Mortals who witness it, the mildest consequence is soul damage leading to idiocy, while severe cases result in instant death.
But Zhang Yunlu is different. She has Qi Refining stage cultivation, her soul is stronger than a Mortal's, and with Xu Xing helping her weaken the impact, the scene of the Grand Masters' fight directly turned into a trial.
Not only would she not be harmed, but she could also benefit from it.
If one's comprehension is exceptionally high, they might even gain insights into the 'Tai Xu Sword Canon' and the cultivation methods of that demonic Cultivator from it.
Even if one's comprehension isn't that high, it can still serve to temper one's character and strengthen one's spiritual sense.
It's just that the process isn't that easy.
