Chapter 88: Whetstone

"Yes!"

The martial official, accustomed to leaving, suddenly turned back and said somewhat awkwardly, "Senior, that Su Zhan has already achieved the Origin Elixir Realm. We are no match for him."

"Hmm?" Li Qingyang frowned.

The official quickly continued, "Please calm down, Senior! It's not that we are timid. According to the latest information, Su Zhan recently killed Yun Hengtian, a half-step Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator!"

"If it were any other half-step Fish-Dragon cultivator, it would be understandable. But Yun Hengtian had activated the secret technique of the Positive Yang True Body, and his combat power ranked first among the half-step Fish-Dragon cultivators in the fifteen countries"

"However, he was still no match for Su Zhan! It seems that this Su Zhan is infinitely close to the Fish-Dragon Realm!"

"Infinitely close" Li Qingyang smiled faintly, "Being close doesn't matter. If one doesn't break through to this realm, they cannot comprehend the mysteries of the Fish-Dragon Realm. Since this person is so troublesome, I'll personally pay him a visit!"

"But these days, I am at a crucial point in comprehending the Qingyang Sacred Scroll.' When I have leisure time, I will go."

"During this period, do not disturb him. If he escapes, it would be quite difficult to find him in such a vast world and would require a lot of effort."Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"Yes!"

After the official left, the gates of the restricted area closed.

Li Qingyang's gaze fell upon the White Water Sword placed on the ground, and he sighed.

"This Su Zhan who can kill Yunxuan must also be an extraordinary genius."

"I value talent, but I value affection more. There's nothing that can be done. In this world, another peerless talent is about to fall. It's truly a sigh-inducing moment!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Qingyang stored the White Water Sword in his storage space and turned back to continue looking at the painting.

Five days later.

At the foot of White Cloud Peak.

Cao Mu and the others were on the verge of going crazy from waiting.

"How long are we going to wait? What if he stays in seclusion for a year, two years, or even longer? What should we do?" Yue Jianghai, the head of the Yue family, grumbled.

Although the others didn't respond, their expressions were unpleasant, showing extreme impatience. With their cultivation levels, they wouldn't starve even if they stayed here for fifty days. But being here every day, being laughed at by the inner sect disciples, was unbearable.

Xia Qitian and Xia Qihai also wore frustrated expressions. However, they weren't among those powerful individuals and knew they didn't count for anything. Even though they felt annoyed, they didn't show any signs of impatience, presenting themselves as sincere. Anyone looking at them would see their genuineness.

The Sect Master of the Treasure Mountain Sect, Yang Cheng, couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up from the ground, looked up at White Cloud Peak, and was about to forcibly break through the formation to meet Su Zhan when suddenly he seemed to notice something special. He stopped in his tracks, looked puzzled, and gazed at the sky.

"What is that?"

Hearing Yang Cheng's words, the others also turned their attention to that direction. Instantly, their faces displayed expressions of astonishment and doubt.

Li Qingyang glanced at Qin Jincheng and continued, "You have only ten minutes. After that, if I don't see Su Zhan, don't blame me for slaughtering the weak and annihilating your Sword Sect. This is the only chance I'm giving you ants!"

Li Qingyang's words thundered like a clap, resounding through the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect below for a while.

Instantly, everyone turned pale and panicked.

Even if they were infatuated with Su Zhan, they understood what it meant to be in the Fish-Dragon Realm. It wasn't something that could be bridged with talent alone!

"Hahaha! Su Zhan has actually offended Senior Li Qingyang! This is great!" Yue Jianghai, the head of the Yue Family, laughed heartily. "Now he's done for. Why are we still here? Let's go to avoid being implicated!"

Yang Cheng, the sect master of the Treasure Mountain Sect, also nodded repeatedly and laughed triumphantly. "This is truly heaven's assistance! Once Su Zhan is dead, what is there for us to fear in the Sword Sect? Hahaha!"

The valley master of the Yellow Wind Valley's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Perhaps today, in a fit of anger, Senior Li Qingyang will wipe out the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect! Then we can have another round of beating the dogs in water! We'll mercilessly slaughter the remaining members of the Sword Sect and ravage their female disciples to vent the humiliations we've endured these days!"

"Excellent!"

"Marvelous!"

The three exchanged glances and laughed, then looked at Cao Mu. "Are you not leaving?"

Cao Mu's face was calm as he clenched his fists. "Fish-Dragon Realm, Fish-Dragon Realm. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't believe it, but Su Zhan, he is"

"Fool, go and wait for death! We're leaving!"

The three of them sneered at him, and flew away without hesitation.

At this moment, Cao Mu finally spoke the rest of his words, "But Su Zhan, he is not like anyone else!"

Since they had already prepared to sacrifice themselves, if Su Zhan really defeated Li Qingyang this time and they managed to escape, the Clear Sun Sect would likely face catastrophic consequences soon!

In that case, I, Cao Mu, will fucking gamble with my life!

Cao Mu gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at White Cloud Peak, not moving an inch.

Prince Xia Qitian was about to escape but was held back by Xia Qihai.

"Younger brother, what are you doing?"

"Big brother, do you trust me?" Xia Qihai recalled the Dark Star Forest where Su Zhan was invincible, and the recent news of him killing Yun Hengtian. His gaze became resolute as he said, "I don't care about this Fish-Dragon Realm. I'm telling you, Su Zhan won't die!"

"Li Qingyang has come, and you still think Su Zhan won't die? Are you out of your mind?"

"Then go ahead and leave! But this is the best opportunity to seek Su Zhan's forgiveness. If you don't want it, so be it." Xia Qihai shook his head.

"This" Xia Qitian looked at Li Qingyang in the sky, hesitated for half a minute, and finally sat down, cursing, "Damn it, after careful consideration, I find that Su Zhan is more terrifying!"

Just at that moment.

Inside Cave Mansion of Peak Seventeen.

Su Zhan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qingyang in the sky. He murmured in a low voice, "The whetstone has finally arrived."
