On the back of the Jiao Dragon, Xing Feng's eyelids drooped, with cold glints flashing in his eyes.
From afar, a powerful aura approached, and soon a group of figures appeared not far ahead. The leader had a majestic presence, and those around him gave way, retreating to the side.
"Liuyue Manor."
The hearts of the crowd trembled inwardly. There were several top forces in Liuyue City, standing shoulder to shoulder with Medicine Cleansing Lake, and Liuyue Manor was one of them.
Liuyue Manor had a long history in Liuyue City, formed by several families united. The current generation's leader of Liuyue Manor was from the Yue family, solely because they had a Seventh Realm Cultivator.
This was the reason for Liuyue Manor's lasting prosperity over the years. Although competition existed within the families, they all devoted their efforts to cultivate the most talented members, enabling them to reach the Seven Realms and take control of the manor.
The man leading the group was the current Manor Master of Liuyue Manor, Yue Qingcang, also a legendary figure in Liuyue City.
"Yue Qingcang has come. What is he planning?" The crowd looked at Yue Qingcang with curiosity. Despite being a legend in Liuyue City, the incident with Li Mountain and Medicine Cleansing Lake's destruction, Yue Qingcang still seemed insignificant in comparison.
"Gumu." The people then noticed a man beside Yue Qingcang, who appeared to be in his thirties, quite young. Selected as Liuyue Manor's next successor, his talent was said to be comparable to Yue Qingcang's in his prime. It was reported he had trained to the pinnacle of Condensed Core, already impacting on the Sixth Realm.
Rumor had it that Gumu was only one step away from the Sixth Realm.
As for the others, they were strong individuals from several families of Liuyue Manor, including several Sixth Realm experts. Such a force was already the top level in Liuyue City.
The Jiao Dragon formed by Liu Ji slowly stopped, hovering in the air. Li Fan similarly gazed at the opposing directions, eyes revealing sharp glints. The court's people hadn't appeared. Could these individuals intend to block their way?
Of course, the arrivals were not limited to these.
In the other direction, another group was marching grandly, heading toward here.
"Xuanjian Sect." Many people's eyes revealed brilliance. Li Mountain was the Sword Dao Sacred Land of the Da Li Dynasty, recognized as the foremost Sword Dao power by Da Li.
Whereas the Sword Sect in Liuyue City happened to be this Xuanjian Sect.
Why did Xuanjian Sect come here now, and what did they intend to do?
"Xuanjian Sect Sect Leader Wang Zheng." The crowd directed their gaze towards the foremost figure in white robes. Xuanjian Sect had come here, with two Liuyue City top forces converging. What was their aim?
"I've heard of Li Mountain's esteemed name for a long time. Is the visitor Xing Feng, Peak Master of Martial Intent Peak?" Yue Qingcang clasped his hands toward Xing Feng on the Jiao Dragon's back, his voice resonating and powerful.
Xing Feng raised his eyes to fall upon Yue Qingcang, his voice low: "What for?"
The words carried a hint of impatience, seemingly disregarding Yue Qingcang.
The streets of Liuyue City were exceptionally quiet now. The voices of those below grew softer as they all looked towards the figure in the sky, prominent figures in the affairs of the world.
Li Mountain Sword Dao was renowned worldwide, yet for many, it was their first time hearing of Martial Intent Peak.
It seemed that even cultivators outside Li Mountain Sword Cultivators were quite strong.
This Martial Intent Peak Master Xing Feng, did he practice Martial Arts?
Yue Qingcang's Martial Arts had also reached the Seven Realms.
"Wang Zheng of Xuanjian Sect, here to pay a visit." Xuanjian Sect Sect Leader Wang Zheng, carrying an ancient sword on his back, his robe fluttering, also clasped his hands toward Xing Feng.
Liuyue City's two top figures appeared rather courteous, yet Xing Feng seemed impatient, calmly speaking: "If there's nothing, please give way."
Saying this, the Jiao Dragon formed by Liu Ji continued forward.
In the world today, if the court was considered a force, it would undoubtedly be the strongest.
Various sects and families of Da Li, while not under the court's control, would at least show respect, not daring to oppose. Who wasn't aware of the relationship between the court and Li Mountain?
Under such circumstances, no sect or family would be willing to align openly with Li Mountain.
Especially since the region of Yongzhou already counted as the core of Da Li's thirty-six states.
Since they couldn't be friends, what were these people coming for?
"The sword of Li Mountain amazes the world, yet rarely leaves Li Mountain. Today, with a Li Mountain Sword Dao disciple arriving at Liuyue City, how could we not take a look?" Yue Qingcang's gaze shifted from Xing Feng to the white-clad figure behind him, speaking: "Is this the legendary Li Mountain Sword Dao disciple, Canglan Blade's student Li Fan?"
Li Mountain Sword Dao disciple? Canglan Blade's student?
In an instant, everyone's gaze focused on that handsome figure, atop the Jiao Dragon, white robes fluttering, carefree and unrestrained.
At this moment, Li Fan clearly sensed many sharp gazes falling upon him.
"Yes." Li Fan responded calmly.
"Gumu." Yue Qingcang turned to look at the man beside him, and then said: "Gumu is the disciple of our Liuyue Manor, with extraordinary talent, his cultivation has reached the late-stage of Condensation Realm. Having heard of the arrival of the Li Mountain Sword Dao's disciple, he wishes to experience your style. I hope that young friend will not hesitate to give guidance and offer some pointers."
"As a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, I also wish to experience the Li Mountain Sword." Wang Zheng also spoke at this time, and a figure stepped out from beside him.
"Ye Kong." The crowd looked at the appearing sword cultivator with a chill in their hearts.
Both Gumu and Ye Kong were well-known figures in Liuyue City.
"No time." Li Fan responded coldly, the Jiao Dragon continued to move forward.
Gumu and Ye Kong simultaneously looked at Li Fan, their eyes harboring sharp intent.
This Li Fan was much younger than them, yet he was even more brilliant, after all, being a disciple of the Li Mountain Sword Dao was not unusual, but such an attitude did indeed somewhat belittle them.
"Boom..."
Gumu stepped forward, causing the high altitude to shake, ripples swept out, an invisible pressure surged toward Li Fan, and the Jiao Dragon transformed from Liu Ji emitted a low dragon's roar, feeling the traveling body becoming unusually heavy, which made her pair of emerald eyes reveal a cold intent.
"The disciple of Li Mountain Sword Dao won't avoid battling, right?" The long hair danced in the wind, an imposing force swept toward Li Fan.
In the opposite direction, Ye Kong also stepped forward, without speaking, standing quietly, but from his body, an invisible sword intent flowed out, continuously spreading around.
"Just destroyed the Medicine Cleansing Lake, yet there are still forces provoking, truly interesting..."
Lu You sat on the back of the Jiao Dragon, speaking lazily, looking with interest at the cultivators from the two major forces opposite.
"I'll go settle them." Huang Xiong stepped forward, but Li Fan motioned to stop him, saying: "Since someone wants to see the sword of Li Mountain, naturally we cannot let them down, of course, they also need to be qualified to see it."
He was also curious, how did these people dare?
Who is behind them?
Is it the court?
Li Fan's body floated forward, the Jiao Dragon did not stop, closely following behind him.
Seeing Li Fan stepping out, Gumu's mind moved, suddenly a gigantic stone tablet appeared in the air above him, with a booming sound, the stone tablet floated in the direction of Li Fan, growing larger, many characters appeared on the stone tablet, rays of light emanated from the stone tablet, a powerful oppressive force swept down, as if countless tablet shadows were rushing to kill Li Fan.
Li Fan continued forward, blood and Qi surged within him, the Golden Body shone, the tablet shadow crashed down with a violent boom upon him and dispersed into nothingness.
Gumu extended his palm and pressed down, instantly the gigantic stone tablet crashed down with terrifying speed.
"Clang!"
Li Fan raised his left hand upward, the gigantic stone tablet crashed down, but seemed to be held up by Li Fan's palm above his head, splendid rays flashing, the stone tablet shattered into pieces.
"No sword intent."
The crowd looked up at the high altitude, was it purely strength?
Gumu's mind moved, instantly many stone tablets appeared around Li Fan's body, simultaneously rushing to smash him, intending to crush him to pieces.
Li Fan's body moved forward, a wild aura spread from him, a dragon's roar echoed through the heavens, dragon shadows appeared around Li Fan.
"Qi and blood transform into a dragon!"
Some cultivators were shocked watching this scene before them, the fierce stone tablets simultaneously crashed down. Boom boom boom... the crowd saw Li Fan buried by the stone tablets, but the stone tablet right in front of Gumu shattered into fragments, he saw a figure coming straight at him, hand grasping through the air.
Gumu raised his hand and launched a gigantic hand seal to kill, but he saw a golden dragon shadow appear, the hand seal exploded into pieces instantly, the dragon shadow instantly reached him, his expression changed drastically, wanting to retreat, yet saw a massive dragon shadow had already covered him.
A shield appeared around his body, but the dragon claws descended, tearing the shield apart.
The sound of cracking and breaking was heard, Gumu let out a blood-curdling scream, his bones shattered, his body seeming to be penetrated, a phantom of a true dragon coiling around his body, claws piercing into his flesh.
"It seems you are not worthy to see my sword." Li Fan tossed Gumu's body towards Yue Qingcang.
