“Child, this is the Holy Land of Taihua, where common folks are not permitted to enter.”
The guard Wu De, who was keeping watch at the mountain gate, saw a female Earth Immortal descending on her sword at the gate of Taihua Divine Mountain and approached her to remind.
“I am Jianjia, a disciple from Mount Shu, seeking an audience with the Holy Son of Taihua.”
Jianjia curiously looked around at the Taihua Divine Mountain behind the mountain gate.
The Taihua Divine Mountain towers ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang high, its treasure light shining ten thousand zhang, manifesting a majestic presence.
Taihua mountain is home to tens of thousands of geniuses. To the cultivators of the outside world, Mount Taihua is one of the sacred lands, a lofty existence.
“Do you have a token?”
“I do.”
“So you are a guest of the Holy Son of Taihua, please.”
After seeing the token, Wu De respectfully led Jianjia into Taihua Divine Mountain.
Lu Changsheng became famous after the Yaochi Assembly, ranking second on the Qilin Ranking, becoming the star of tomorrow for the Holy Land of Taihua.
Wu De, hearing that the guest was related to Lu Changsheng, naturally wanted to offer hospitable treatment.
“Is this the Holy Land of Taihua? On the road, I casually met cultivators who are at the Loose Immortal level, and Daluo Golden Immortals are commonplace. As for the Immortal Emperors, they all have their own caves, so they haven’t shown themselves easily, right?”
Jianjia was astounded by the abundance of powerful figures in Mount Taihua, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, amazed beyond words.
Wu De led Jianjia to the mountain gate at Yuntai Peak.
At the gate, a large yellow dog was sprawled lazily on a smooth boulder, basking in the sun.
The dog opened its eyes, saw it was Wu De, and lazily yawned again.
Yet Wu De respectfully bowed, “Daoist Earth Hound, this young friend has come with a request for the Holy Son concerning a matter of Mount Shu, may I pass the message?”
Jianjia’s eyes widened.
This dog was receiving the utmost respect from a Daluo Golden Immortal?
“Mount Shu?”
Daoist Earth Hound, startled, transmitted a message to Lu Changsheng and with his permission said, “You may go in now.”
“I’m finally going to meet the legendary Sect Leader.”
Jianjia had long admired Lu Changsheng and was finally going to meet this great figure.
“I shall not disturb the Holy Son’s cultivation then, I need to return to guard the gate, farewell. Child, just go in by yourself.”
Knowing he was not the protagonist, Wu De tactfully returned to the gate.
Jianjia arrived at the cave dwelling, only to see a young man in a Daoist robe meditating. This man had a handsome face and an extraordinary aura.
“I am a disciple recruited by Fairy Qingxia, named Jianjia.”
“So you are a disciple of Fairy Qingxia.”
Lu Changsheng’s system beeped with a prompt.
[Ding, the other party’s information is loading… Loading complete.]
[Name: Jianjia]
[Race: Human]
[Status: Disciple of Fairy Qingxia]
[Talent: Immortal Sword Body, Innate Spirit Vein]
[Cultivation Level: Third Layer Earth Immortal]
[Cultivation Technique: Taiqing Wuji Technique]
[Magical Artifact: Dragon Tomb Sword (Lower Grade Ultimate Treasure)]
This kid actually has an Immortal Sword Body.
The Immortal Sword Body and the Spirit Sword Physique are both top-notch physiques for sword cultivators, comprehending the Sword Dao as naturally as eating and drinking.
It seems Fairy Qingxia has taken on a fine direct disciple.
“Grandmaster Taixu went to Blood Bat Cave to exterminate those heretic cultivators and Great Demons there and has lost contact. Master suspects something amiss, thus sending me to ask for your help.”
“Blood Bat Cave?”
Lu Changsheng had never heard of such a place.
Blood Bat Cave must be an obscure and weak sect.
As a Daluo Golden Immortal, Grandmaster Taixu should not have any trouble dealing with these minor heretic sects.
The fact that Grandmaster Taixu has gone missing in Blood Bat Cave was indeed peculiar.
“I understand. I will head to Blood Bat Cave myself.”
Lu Changsheng, remembering that he had established Mount Shu, felt he needed to intervene.
Besides, Lu Changsheng had a feeling that the issue with Blood Bat Cave might not concern Grandmaster Taixu at all.
“With you stepping in, that is truly the best outcome.”
Jianjia believed that with Lu Changsheng taking action, there shouldn’t be any problems.
“There’s no time to lose, let us depart at once.”
Lu Changsheng took out a Spatial Talisman, vanishing on the spot with Jianjia.
At Blood Bat Cave, several heretic cultivators were on patrol outside.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed by, and before the heretic cultivators could react, they were all killed.
Lu Changsheng, with lightning speed, burst into Blood Bat Cave.
“Who dares trespass into our Blood Bat Cave?!”
“Ah!!!”
Lu Changsheng held the Qing Emperor Sword, testing the power of the longsword for the first time.
The heretic cultivators and members of the Demon Race along his path were no match for the might of the Qing Emperor Sword. The sword light alarmed the countless Blood Bats dwelling within the cave.
With a slash of the Qing Emperor Sword forward, terrifying sword qi illuminated the dark cavern, turning countless Blood Bats to ashes.
Boom!
The sword qi disregarded the winding cavern passageways, shattering layer after layer of rock walls, piercing through Blood Bat Cave. A huge hole appeared behind Blood Bat Cave, with debris flying.
Jianjia followed Lu Changsheng into Blood Bat Cave, stunned by his straightforward breach.
All the heretic cultivators and billions of Blood Bats in Blood Bat Cave were annihilated under a single strike from Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng was incredibly powerful.
Jianjia’s gaze towards Lu Changsheng was filled with even more admiration.
Lu Changsheng and Jianjia arrived at the depths of Blood Bat Cave, discovering the trapped Grandmaster Taixu.
“Longevity, someone has hired an assassin from Eternal Night to kill you, you must leave now… at least bring more people.”
Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Grandmaster Taixu saw that Lu Changsheng had come with only Jianjia, worried that Lu Changsheng might fall into a trap, and quickly urged him to leave.
Assassins from Eternal Night?
Lu Changsheng remembered his disciple Su Xiaoqi mentioning a Heavenly Level assassin named “Chi Mei” who had taken a bounty on him.
