Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

"What!!"

"The Sect Master is a peak Ninth Layer Golden Immortal powerhouse?!"

"The Peak Masters are Golden Immortals!!! And every Peak Master is a Golden Immortal!!"

"Does that mean Cao Ke, who often steals fish from our peak, too??"

Ge Nie blankly took his jade slip, his mouth slightly open.

"What exactly happened in the month I was gone..."

The female cultivator couldn't help but tease him upon seeing this.

"Senior Brother Ge Nie, Thunder Peak has a new junior brother, aren't you going back to take a look soon?"

Ge Nie was slightly stunned, frowning and muttering.

"Junior brother… could it be the one halfway up the mountain?"

Thinking of this, Ge Nie calculated the time, then thanked her and turned to fly towards the main hall of Thunder Peak.

The elder lecturing today was surnamed Zhang, with a cultivation of Fourth Layer True Immortal Realm.

When Ge Nie arrived at the entrance of the hall, the elder's lecture was already echoing inside.

The surroundings were filled with curling green smoke, and the incense burner contained calming sandalwood.

Below, a large number of disciples were densely seated.

Most of these were the newest disciples, as their strength mostly remained in the Profound Immortal Realm.

Only a small number of gifted disciples barely managed to break through to the Heaven Immortal Realm.

"I just said, how to judge the strength of a True Immortal Realm cultivator."

"The most obvious way is to judge based on the strength of their spiritual rhyme halo, to have a clear understanding of the enemy."

"You all know that the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect rarely fight."

"So, at this time, whether you can accurately judge the enemy's cultivation strength becomes especially important."

The old man with a celestial air stroked his beard, sitting cross-legged on a futon and looking at the disciples.

"The opponent can completely hide and restrain their aura, but as long as they manifest their spiritual rhyme halo, there is almost no way to change it."

After the words fell, the old man pointed to a disciple and smiled.

"Changqing, show your spiritual rhyme halo to your fellow disciples."

A young man with neat short hair slowly stood up, first saluted in all directions, and then manifested his spiritual rhyme halo!

Boom!!

The pressure of the realm was controlled by the young man within his own square inch.

A purple halo only the thickness of chopsticks appeared behind the young man.

"Is this the manifestation of the Heaven Immortal Realm?"

The Profound Immortal Realm disciples exclaimed in surprise.

Ge Nie also had a faint smile on his face when he saw this scene, arms crossed, leaning against the hall dozens of feet away.

He didn't interrupt the elder's lecture, he was just a little curious, and didn't want to affect the order of the class because of his little matter.

"Hey, Lao Ge, you're back from your mission?"

Ge Nie couldn't help but laugh when he saw the gorgeously dressed young man flying over.

"Zheng Qian, you just got back too?"

The young man had a handsome appearance, with skin as fair and delicate as a woman's.

He tossed his hair in a flamboyant manner and couldn't help but say.

"Don't mention it… I just got back and found out the sky has fallen."

"Who would have thought that our unreliable Peak Master who loves fishing is a Golden Immortal!!! And a Third Layer Golden Immortal at that!!"

After Zheng Qian finished speaking, a look of hopelessness appeared on his face.

Ge Nie couldn't help but nod in agreement upon seeing this.

"Yeah… the Sect Master is also a Ninth Layer Golden Immortal, suppressing the mad swordsman Ye Tianyi alone with his sword, and also bombarding the two top Golden Immortal cultivators of the Wuji Palace, causing them to retreat repeatedly."

"Who would have thought this was our own sect..."

Zheng Qian stood on tiptoe, craning his neck to look inside, and whispered.

"Which one is the newly accepted junior brother?"

"Is it called Li Congxin? Hey, is it that little blind man?"

Pa!!

Ge Nie's face sank, and he slapped the back of Zheng Qian's head.

"Speak properly."

"If you dare to say that in front of him, see if I beat you up."

"You've already broken through to the True Immortal Realm, and you're still so unreliable."

Zheng Qian's expression froze, he restrained the pressure around him and said awkwardly.

"You sensed it?"

Ge Nie didn't look at him, just held his sword and said softly.

"Was the mission dangerous this time?"

"It actually forced you to break through ahead of time."

Zheng Qian shrugged and said in a low voice.

"I ran into people from the Demon Blood Sect, if it weren't for the elders of the Tao family taking action, I would have lost my life this time."

Ge Nie frowned, turned to look at Zheng Qian, and found that there was still blood on the back of his neck that hadn't been wiped clean.

He casually took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into his collar, saying softly.

"Remember to call for help next time you encounter this kind of thing, if one can't beat them, then ten will."

"Besides, my mission location is not far from you, don't risk your life."

"Next time you encounter people from the Demon Blood Sect, just..."

A cold killing intent flashed in Ge Nie's eyes.

"Demon Blood Sect… humph!"

Zheng Qian took the handkerchief and wiped the blood, nudging Ge Nie and saying.

"Tao Manman wants to treat you to a drink tonight, are you going?"

Ge Nie had a headache as soon as he heard this name.

"When did you become her lobbyist, kid."

Just as the two were chatting, Li Guanqi suddenly stood up in the hall.

"Congxin, show everyone your halo."

Li Guanqi immediately looked embarrassed, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Elder, why don't we just forget it."

Even Ge Nie, who was standing in the distance, put down his arms.

The moment Li Guanqi stood up, his sword trembled slightly.

His eyes were sharp, he felt an extremely powerful sword intent!

Even the nonchalant Zheng Qian stopped his movements and looked at Li Guanqi with a changing expression.

"What a strong aura!"

Perhaps only cultivators who had entered the True Immortal Realm like them could feel the faint sense of threat from Li Guanqi.

The elder on the stage raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a slight display of the spiritual rhyme halo, let them feel it."

Ge Nie stared at Li Guanqi with his eyes, and after a long while, his voice was filled with emotion and surprise.

"He… should have killed a True Immortal!"

"Yeah, probably."

Li Guanqi just wanted to decline, but the elder on the stage smiled.

"It's okay, showing your strength is also encouraging your fellow disciples."

The elder had already said this, so he couldn't refuse any longer.

The Heaven Immortal Realm disciple named 'Changqing' also said with a smile at this time.

"Junior brother, just show it, we all know that your cultivation realm is not weak."

Li Guanqi had no choice but to salute slightly in all directions upon hearing this.

"Then I will show it."

Buzz!!!

Six spiritual rhyme halos, each two fingers thick, instantly appeared!!

The six overlapping spiritual rhyme halos presented a brilliant dark purple color, and even had mysterious patterns engraved on them.

Moreover, there was no pressure from Li Guanqi's body, it was completely restrained within his body!!!

There were bursts of gasps in the hall.

Li Guanqi's gaze also saw Zheng Qian and Ge Nie outside the hall.

The moment their eyes met, a drop of cold sweat seeped from Zheng Qian's forehead, and he blurted out.

"He can kill me!"
