Pointing at Lu Yixian with his palm, Yuwen Qing cursed, “Before the阁主 left, he told us to guard the Creation Jade Plate, not to take it for ourselves.”

“If the阁主 returns someday, I ask you, what face do you have to face the阁主?”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yixian couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “Will the阁主 really come back?”

“Yes!”

Yuwen Qing said indifferently, “When he comes back, all of you in the Spirit Sword Pavilion will be waiting to be executed!”

Lu Yixian knew that neither of them could persuade the other.

“Over the years, although your strength hasn’t declined, it hasn’t improved either. However… I’m not the person I used to be!”

Shaking his head, Lu Yixian took a step forward. When his figure landed, standing amidst the ruins and dust, he was like a sage, making the surrounding world seem to come alive.

“Now, I’ve reached the Star-Picking Transformation Realm. Brother Qing…”

As he spoke, Lu Yixian extended his palm and pointed down.

As a finger mark flashed out from him.

Where the finger mark passed, the space seemed to be sliced open. That finger seemed to be irresistible, pressing down towards Yuwen Qing.

Yuwen Qing’s face darkened.

He clenched his palm, and a terrifying force roared out. He threw a punch, and the power was like that of a dragon, howling and surging.

Dong!!

Once again, a deep thud resounded between heaven and earth.

One invisible wave after another spread out with the two of them as the center.

But this time.

Peng!!

Yuwen Qing couldn’t hold on for more than three breaths. His figure retreated a hundred zhang. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

A cultivator in the Delusional Self Realm was naturally no match for someone in the Star-Picking Transformation Realm!

“Back then, when we were at the same realm, you were no match for me. Now, how can you possibly withstand me?”

Lu Yixian continued, “Brother Qing, I highly appreciate you. Come back with me. I will plead with the several阁主 elders to allow you to rejoin the Spirit Sword Pavilion and help you reach the Star-Picking Transformation Realm. What do you think?”

“Hehe…”

Yuwen Qing couldn’t help but sneer.

“Hahaha…”

Suddenly, his laughter was wild, with a hint of ferocity. He sneered, “Me, go back to the Spirit Sword Pavilion with you? Then what about those who died?”

In the past, among the twenty-four Sword Guardians, ten of them followed the three阁主 elders.

Except for Yuwen Qing, some died, and some scattered. However… those who scattered mostly sacrificed themselves to hold off the enemy, and they were likely all dead.

Among the ten Sword Guardians, only Yuwen Qing survived.

Now, if he Yuwen Qing were to join the Spirit Sword Pavilion again, what would those nine fallen comrades mean?

“If I go back, how can I face the spirit of Brother Haoxuan in heaven?”

Yuwen Qing looked at Lu Yixian and said coldly, “Lu Yixian, when Brother Haoxuan died, didn’t you feel even the slightest bit of guilt? He took such good care of you and me!”

At this moment, Lu Yixian fell silent. Cui Qianyu, Hua Canyu, and Shen Buxiu, the three Sword Guardians standing on the distant stone platform, also had gloomy expressions.

As the older generation of Sword Guardians, the twenty-four of them were all personally selected and promoted by the former阁主.

Moreover… among the twenty-four of them, their relationship was extremely close.

And the leader of the twenty-four Sword Guardians was named Wei Haoxuan.

Whether it was Lu Yixian, Yuwen Qing, or the other Sword Guardians like Cui Qianyu, they all respected and loved Wei Haoxuan to some extent.

Back then, Ling Shengtian, the阁主 of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, once said in front of everyone, “Haoxuan has a unique character and talent. It’s no problem for him to inherit my mantle.”

This was the recognition from the阁主.

A genius with remarkable talent, who could be admired and respected by his peers and approved and praised by those in power, was truly a rare sight.

However, in the past, when the three阁主 elders left the Spirit Sword Pavilion, Wei Haoxuan followed them. And during a pursuit, he lost his life.

Yuwen Qing clenched his fists and said, “Among the three Sword Guardians of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, there are Wei Haoxuan, Lu Yixian, and Yuwen Qing!”

“But in reality, Brother Haoxuan was in a league of his own!”

“Since we entered the Spirit Sword Pavilion, Brother Haoxuan took care of you and me everywhere. Moreover…”

Yuwen Qing said resentfully, “You and he both became disciples of Elder Su. How could you kill your fellow disciples and disobey your master?”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present were shocked.

Many people didn’t know this part of the history.

Listening to Yuwen Qing’s accusation, Lu Yixian’s expression remained calm.

“At this point, it’s meaningless to talk about other things…”

Lu Yixian said indifferently, “Yuwen Qing, I’ll give you one more chance. Today, you either die or come back to the Spirit Sword Pavilion with me!”

“I’d rather die than go back!”

Yuwen Qing clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice.

“Since that’s the case, then die!”

Lu Yixian had run out of patience.

He clenched his palm, and his two fingers joined together. A finger sword, as fast as the wind and as fierce as frost, charged towards Yuwen Qing.

Weng…

At that moment.

A humming sound resounded between heaven and earth. Then, a figure, as fast as an arrow, appeared in front of Yuwen Qing.

A palm was extended, and then the two fingers of the palm joined together, also forming a sharp sword, stabbing towards the finger sword condensed by Lu Yixian.

In mid-air, the two finger swords collided in an instant.

Weng…

With Lu Yixian and the suddenly appearing figure as the center, a humming sound resounded. Endless sharp sword qi raged, enveloping the entire area.

At this moment, even Cui Qianyu, Hua Canyu, Shen Buxiu, and Gu Ye, the other Sword Guardians, had slightly changed expressions.

This was… the aura of someone in the Star-Picking Transformation Realm!

“It’s not the aura of Elder Si Luoyi…”

Cui Qianyu, who was tall, said in surprise, “Could it be Elder Su?”

The rumbling sound resounded.

The surging waves were even more terrifying than the collision between Lu Yixian and Yuwen Qing just now.

This level was definitely a battle between people in the Star-Picking Transformation Realm!
