Qian Dong City.
At this moment, Little Bai Li was suffering an unprecedented punishment.
Since being brought back by his uncle, he had been placed under his father's watch.
He was not allowed to go out, no matter what.
His father demanded that Bai Li Dong Jun stay inside and reflect upon his actions.
Of course, Little Bai Li was not happy about it.
This time out, I didn't cause any trouble!
Why is it my fault?
Unfortunately, he still didn't know the gravity of the situation.
On the other hand, Bai Li Luo Chen had already received the news.
He knew what had happened at the Sword Forest Assembly and that his grandson might know the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen.
This matter could be big or small. If the Emperor were to become suspicious,
Qian Dong City would be in turmoil!
Just as the father and son were discussing countermeasures, they received news that someone from the Jixia Academy was coming.
It seemed they were coming for Bai Li Dong Jun.
Clearly, their visit was closely related to the appearance of the West Chu Sword Song.
The two who arrived were Lei Meng Sha and the Ninth Prince Xiao Ruofeng.
***
Outside of Qian Dong City.
The Tianwai Tian Protectors, White-Haired Immortal and Purple-Robe Marquis, also appeared here.
Since the news of the West Chu Sword Song's emergence spread through the martial world, Tianwai Tian had been paying attention to this matter.
As former North Que citizens who had been destroyed by North Li, they naturally knew the power of West Chu.
Especially the Confucian Sword Double Immortals of that era, they not only possessed formidable swordsmanship but also possessed a more terrifying art of medicine.
If they could obtain the secret methods from the Confucian Immortal, then North Que's restoration could be within reach.
Therefore, Wu Xiang Shi spared no effort in mobilizing all his forces.
He sent out Wu Fa Wu Tian, one of the Four Great Envoys, to try to capture Gu Chen.
This time, they had to succeed, there was no room for failure.
Since the previous incident in the Southwest Dao ended in failure,
White-Haired Immortal and Purple-Robe Marquis were ashamed and wanted to redeem themselves by performing well.
They immediately came to Qian Dong City to investigate.
Yue Yao also arrived at the same time.
She had once encountered Bai Li Dong Jun here while searching for someone with the innate martial vein.
Now, the news of Gu Chen's seclusion had spread.
Yue Yao naturally had to come and see.
Of course, she also wanted to see the mysterious Jun Yu.
When she met him again recently, he had invited her, which truly intrigued her.
After wandering for many years, Yue Yao had grown weary of this life.
Perhaps, it was time for a change!
***
On the long street.
Suddenly, it became lively.
Two bizarre figures appeared unexpectedly.
They helped White-Haired Immortal and Purple-Robe Marquis defeat Bai Li Dong Jun's father, Bai Li Cheng Feng.
The son of the Marquis of West Garrison was greatly shocked.
He didn't expect that at this critical moment, Tianwai Tian's demons would come to disrupt things.
He alone could not fight against so many people.
White-Haired Immortal and Purple-Robe Marquis alone were already a challenge.
Adding the two who claimed to be Wu Fa Wu Tian, they were like entering a realm without obstacles.
They headed straight for the Peach Blossom Forest Sanctuary where the Confucian Immortal resided.
Now, the secret of Gu Chen's survival would be revealed.
Inside the sanctuary.
The Ninth Prince Xiao Ruofeng, who had arrived earlier, was trying to learn from Gu Chen.
Although he was a prince of North Li, he was also the seventh disciple of the Jixia Academy, deeply devoted to the way of the sword.
How could he miss this opportunity to meet the renowned Confucian Immortal?
He wanted to spar with him, but unexpectedly, a stranger appeared before him.
He blocked his path.
"Seventh Junior Brother, this path is closed! You should just watch."
"Who are you...?
Xiao Ruofeng, being a prince, had never been mocked.
He saw that the person in front of him was wearing plain clothes and seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that he was strikingly handsome.
There was an unnoticeable arrogance in his bones. When he saw the two precious swords on his back, he remembered what Lei Meng Sha had said recently.
"Senior Brother, Jun Yu!"
"Good boy, seeing as you can talk so well, I won't beat you! When I went back to the academy last time, I beat up all the little Lei's one by one. Although you are a prince, I have no intention of being lenient!"
Indeed, the only one who could block Xiao Ruofeng here was the nameless gentleman Jun Yu!
Xiao Ruofeng finally saw his Senior Brother.
He had heard Lei Meng Sha embellish the story of his Senior Brothers being beaten up.
He understood that Jun Yu was trying to keep the academy out of the matter.
But being a prince and a swordsman, how could he miss the chance to meet a master?
Therefore, he mustered his courage and said to Jun Yu, "Senior Brother, I know you have good intentions. But my duty compels me to act! I apologize for any offense!"
He immediately drew his sword and prepared to fight Jun Yu.
"It seems this beating is unavoidable!"
Jun Yu shook his head and smiled. He knew that Xiao Ruofeng practiced the Splitting Nation Sword Technique.
It was a supreme martial art created by Emperor Xiao Yi, the founding emperor of North Li.
It was divided into four realms. If used in conjunction with the Heavenly Slashing Sword, it would be incredibly powerful.
Of course, Xiao Ruofeng was still a beginner and hadn't yet reached a higher realm.
Therefore, fighting him was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
But, Jun Yu didn't need to actually fight.
He simply looked at Xiao Ruofeng, just a glance.
In an instant.
A formless thought instantly drew Xiao Ruofeng into a unique illusion.
It gave him a sense of delusion.
In a certain space, he was using his swordsmanship with all his might, challenging Jun Yu.
But he was defeated countless times in countless trials.
He was in shambles.
Although this scene was merely a flash, it was like he had gone through it a thousand times in Xiao Ruofeng's mind.
It was like a nightmare, causing cold sweat to trickle down his forehead.
Only when he realized it was all a fantasy did he turn pale with fear.
How terrifying!
Senior Brother is too scary!
He suppressed me in terms of aura, winning without fighting.
What kind of terrifying swordsmanship is this?
Could it be that Jun Yu has reached the same level as Master!
Xiao Ruofeng couldn't believe it, he stood there dumbfounded.
Gu Chen, who witnessed this scene, also showed a hint of surprise.
After all these years, Jun Yu's cultivation had surpassed his imagination.
He had become even more profound than before.
It made his old friend feel relieved.
But even if Jun Yu came to help, could he break the deadlock today?
"There is no need! Young friend, I appreciate your kindness!"
The Confucian Immortal Gu Chen looked at the uninvited guests who had entered the sanctuary with an indifferent expression, ready to face his death with composure.
At this time.
The people from Tianwai Tian had arrived.
Wu Fa Wu Tian, one of the Four Great Envoys, appeared.
The two bizarre figures were about to fight Gu Chen and capture him.
"You are the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen from West Chu, aren't you? Just so happens, we from Tianwai Tian want to invite you over!"
Wu Fa Wu Tian sneered and was about to attack.
However.
A precious sword, so dazzling that one couldn't look directly at it, blocked their path.
"Anyone who wants to touch Gu Chen must first ask me!"
