All the Qing Qiu disciples on the field never expected that the battle would end so soon after it had just begun.
Before the match, they had already foreseen that it would be a one-sided fight with no suspense.
However.
They only guessed the beginning, but not the end.
The battle was indeed one-sided, but the one who couldn't withstand a single blow was none other than their Qing Qiu's second genius, Chi Mang.
With just one move, the genius disciple from the Void Sword Sect had decisively ended the battle, a result that was hard for them to believe.
"This is... Void Sword Control Technique!"
The Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox shrieked, recognizing the move displayed by Er Lengzi. Her small mouth was agape, wide enough to fit several eggs.
The Void Sword Control Technique, which had been lost for nearly ten thousand years, reappearing in the world – this was a significant event!
It might even cause great trouble.
Void Sword Control Technique?!
Upon hearing the Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox's words, everyone around was immensely shocked. Immediately, their gazes collectively shifted towards Er Lengzi, their eyes burning with intense heat.
As everyone knew, Void Sword Intent and Void Sword Control Technique were top-tier immortal arts uniquely created by the Great Immortal Kong Xu. Their offensive power was unparalleled in the world. Who wouldn't want to possess them?
At this moment, Er Lengzi became a hot commodity in everyone's eyes.
"Sima Hongfeng, find an opportunity and lead your two disciples to escape."
The Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox secretly transmitted her voice to Sima Hongfeng, urging him to flee quickly.
Chi Di had already intended not to let the Void Sword Sect off the hook. If he learned that the Void Sword Sect possessed Void Sword Intent and Void Sword Control Technique, he would be even less likely to let them go.
Furthermore, the Ju Mang clan would also intervene, vying for this top-tier immortal art.
Possessing treasures brings about calamity. The sword dao inheritance of Great Immortal Kong Xu was enough to make many people covetous and fight for it by any means necessary.
"Why should we escape? It's fine."
Sima Hongfeng was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox to favor the Void Sword Sect at such a critical juncture.
However, he was not worried at all. He remained unperturbed, confident that with the Ancestral Master present, even if the sky fell, there would be nothing to fear.
Moreover, since the Ancestral Master had tacitly allowed Er Lengzi to display Void Sword Intent and Void Sword Control Technique, he must be confident in handling everything, so there was no need to panic.
The Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox did not know Sima Hongfeng's confidence. Did he truly believe that the three of them and a donkey demon could stand against the entire Qing Qiu?
She shook her head impatiently, no longer wasting her breath. After all, she had said what she needed to say. If Sima Hongfeng insisted on courting death, she could only let him.
The disciples of the Chi Lian lineage suddenly noticed Chi Mang in the mud pit twitching incessantly and coughing up blood. Seeing that he was about to die, they rushed to rescue him in a panic.
Taking advantage of the chaotic scene, the Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox escorted Ji Mo and the other two back to their courtyard and then hurried to report the situation to Tu Shan Shushu.
Before long, the news of the reappearance of the Void Sword Control Technique spread, and the entire Qing Qiu mountain range erupted in excitement.
The Chi Lian and Ju Mang families reacted most fiercely. They quickly dispatched a large number of experts to surround the courtyard where the Void Sword Sect resided, preventing them from escaping.
Clearly, they had already harbored greedy intentions and planned to seize the inheritance of Great Immortal Kong Xu by force.
The Tu Shan lineage, however, did not send anyone, seemingly choosing to stay out of this messy affair.
The entire Qing Qiu demon sect was in turmoil, quickly dividing into two factions.
One side, led by the Tu Shan lineage, still remembered the life-saving grace of Great Immortal Kong Xu from years ago and did not act ungratefully.
The other side, led by the Chi Lian and Ju Mang lineages, intended to seize Great Immortal Kong Xu's sword dao inheritance from the Void Sword Sect.
Due to the involvement of various interests and the need to maintain appearances, they did not act rashly. They gathered in secret to discuss how to force the Void Sword Sect to comply.
However, two individuals in Qing Qiu were plunged into fear and unease because of this.
Chi Mei and Mu Yuan were so frightened by the reappearance of the Void Sword Control Technique that their faces turned pale.
This meant that the secrets they had extracted from Sima Hongfeng last night might all be true.
If that were the case, then the Void Sword Sect was absolutely not to be provoked. Anyone who dared to harbor ill intentions towards the Void Sword Sect would be courting their own destruction.
"As expected, excellent hunters often appear in the form of prey. The Qing Qiu demon sect treats the Void Sword Sect as prey, and the final outcome might be that they are devoured without a trace."
Chi Mei and Mu Yuan, having seen through the truth, were terrified. They desperately wanted to report to the higher-ups, but they knew that no one would believe their words, and speaking out of turn would only bring disaster.
They were wise enough to feign illness and refrain from participating in any actions against the Void Sword Sect, intending to weather this great calamity.
"The Ancestral Master is indeed a master strategist. With a slight ploy, he can easily distinguish who among the entire Qing Qiu is an enemy and who is a friend!"
Sima Hongfeng gazed at the various experts lurking around the courtyard and sighed with emotion.
He believed that all of this was Ji Mo's scheme, having Er Lengzi deliberately display the Void Sword Control Technique to differentiate between friends and foes.
Given the Ancestral Master's usual behavior, those who dared to covet the Void Sword Sect would meet a terrible end.
It seemed the Qing Qiu demon sect was in for big trouble. The Ancestral Master was likely about to unleash a massacre!
Ji Hanhan also noticed that the courtyard was surrounded, but he paid it no mind. Sima Hongfeng carried the Sword Essence Azure Stone with him, allowing them to carve a path of blood at any time.
And at this moment.
A graceful figure arrived on a sword, secretly infiltrating the Qing Qiu mountain range.
After using some means, Chi Qingying discovered Ji Mo's location. Relying on her powerful cultivation, she concealed her presence and easily broke through the heavy encirclement, sneaking into Ji Mo's room.
Of course, all invisibility divine abilities were like nothing to Ji Mo.
He widened his eyes and saw a woman as beautiful as an elf, sneakily jumping through the window. She approached him brazenly, scrutinizing him without restraint.
Her gaze was fixed, as if she wished she could devour him alive.
"As expected, boys need to protect themselves when they are out. It's still daytime, and she dares to be so brazen. If it were night, wouldn't I be in danger?"
Ji Mo could clearly sense her ill intentions. Her fierce yet cute expression was quite frightening, and for a moment, he didn't know how to react.
Really, being too handsome was also a trouble. Girls always came knocking on his door.
"You can see me?"
Chi Qingying discovered something was amiss. This scoundrel was staring at her with a wary expression.
It was clear that her invisibility had been seen through.
Ji Mo nodded. What kind of question was that? He wasn't blind, so of course, he could see. Just as he was about to ask her purpose, he was suddenly startled.
Because Chi Qingying said something that was incredibly impactful.
"A high mountain stands firm, a thousand years of flowing stream."
Chi Qingying spoke, her eyes fixed on Ji Mo, and suddenly uttered this sentence.
Upon hearing this, Ji Hanhan's body trembled. He revealed a look of joy and shock, and responded with immense excitement: "The gate faces the sea, a thousand years of river flow."
"Anti-Qing!"
"Restore Ming!"
Their gazes met, and sparks seemed to flash between them. In an instant, both were incredibly excited and quickly moved towards each other.
Ji Mo's heart surged. He opened his arms, his eyes slightly red, and with deep emotion, he shouted: "Fellow villager!"
Anyone who knew the secret handshake of the Heaven and Earth Society must be a fellow villager. He had finally found his kin today.
Chi Qingying's body also trembled with excitement. She responded passionately: "You scoundrel!"
Immediately.
With a "clang," her immortal sword was unsheathed.
A three-foot cold, sharp edge was instantly pressed against Ji Mo's throat.
"Kong Xu, you big scoundrel, I've finally caught you."
