The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 037

Chapter 037 Return To The Sect
The two of them smoothly left the valley.

They looked at the scenery outside and felt that it was in stark contrast to the beautiful scenery in the Hundred Flowers Valley, as if they had fallen from the Immortal Dimension into the mortal world.

“I’m finally out.”

Without stopping, they rushed towards the direction of the Eight Barren Mountains, crossing mountains one after another and returning to their hearts like arrows.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, Li Qing was exceptionally cautious and avoided all areas that might be in danger. Along the way, he didn’t encounter any Xiantian-level demonic beasts, and it went very smoothly.

The mountains were vast, and he didn’t know where he was. However, although they didn’t know the way, they still knew the general direction. Moreover, Heavenly Saber could also give him directions, vaguely pointing at the Eight Desolate Mountains, so that he wouldn’t get lost.

Three days later, they finally returned to the foot of the Eight Desolate Mountain.

It was said that they were even more timid when they got close to the countryside, but they were about to go back soon, and instead felt a little uneasy.

“After such a long time, I wonder how Master is doing. Do you miss us?” Their emotions were complicated, both excited and nervous.

After passing through the mountain protection array and climbing the Eight Desolate Mountains, he could already see the eight towering peaks from afar. Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “I’ve finally come back. It’s really not easy to come back alive.”

All the scenery on Flaming Sun Peak is the same as before. Walking along familiar mountain paths and climbing familiar stairs, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er held hands and walked along familiar paths one after another. Soon, they arrived at Yan Yang Square.

“Eh? Why are there so many people gathered there?” They saw that there were many people gathered in the middle of the square. It was very lively, and they did not know what had happened.

Curious, they walked forward and took a closer look. It turned out that there were actually two people competing in the middle. The two of them were both Houtian ninth layer cultivators, and one of them, He, was an old acquaintance of theirs, Chen Jun.

The battle was extremely intense and inextricably linked.

“The other person doesn’t seem to be a disciple of Flaming Sun Peak.” Li Qing said. The colors of the clothes worn by the disciples of the Eight Peaks were somewhat different. One of the people on the field was dressed in golden clothes. He was obviously from the Golden Emperor Peak in the west.

“Why did the Golden Emperor Peak’s people come to Flaming Sun Peak?” Liu Ke’er also didn’t understand.

Li Qing patted a person on the shoulder and asked, “Junior Brother, what happened here? Why did the Golden Emperor Peak people come here?”

The man turned around and looked at Li Qing. He didn’t recognize him and casually said, “This is the Golden Emperor Peak’s people coming to play.”

“Kicking a field? There’s still this matter?” Li Qing was stunned.

“It’s just a martial arts competition. It’s limited to the younger generation, Houtian realm disciples. In fact, it’s just for playing on the field.” The man was impatient.

“That’s why.” Li Qing understood and nodded.

At this moment, the person in front heard the voice and turned around. He saw Li Qing and Liu Ke’er and recognized them. He couldn’t help but be shocked and stammered, “Didn’t you all die?”

“After such a long time, there is actually someone who recognizes us.” Li Qing was very gratified, so he squeezed forward and said gently, “We’re not dead. How about it? Isn’t it a pleasant surprise?”

The man’s entire body trembled as he pulled out an ugly smile and said, “Surprise, surprise…”

At this time, a few people turned around and saw Li Qing and Liu Ke’er. Some people recognized them and were all shocked, revealing expressions of seeing ghosts.

“Li Qing! Liu Ke’er! Are you people or ghosts?”

“Of course it’s a human.” Li Qing was speechless. “Alright, don’t worry about how we came back alive. How is the situation now?”

Because they were behind the crowd, they did not attract much attention. Some people turned their heads and saw that they didn’t know anyone, so they directly ignored them.

“Four battles, two to two. The situation is not good.”

“Isn’t this a draw? Why is the situation not good?” Li Qing did not quite understand.

“Under normal circumstances, we are not inferior to them. However, they have a very powerful character who hasn’t attacked yet.”

“Who?”

“Cui Yunsheng! The Golden Emperor Peak Master’s new disciple in recent years is a once-in-a-hundred-year genius. He is no less talented than Liu Ke’er of the Serene Moon Peak.” After saying that, that person secretly glanced at Liu Ke’er, extremely vulgar.

“This person is known as the number one person in the younger generation. His cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection Houtian realm. No one in the younger generation is his opponent. It has been a long time since we, Flaming Sun Peak, have seen someone who is astonishingly talented and gorgeous. I’m afraid we won’t be able to contend against him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed inside and saw a dozen disciples dressed in golden clothes amongst the onlookers. The leader was an extremely handsome man. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were starry. The jade tree was facing the wind, and his expression was calm. Although he did not show any arrogant expression, his gaze was indifferent, as if he did not care about the result of the competition. He emitted a kind of confidence that he could control everything.

Clearly, that person was Cui Yunsheng.

“Impossible. Don’t tell me that our Yan Yang Peak doesn’t have any Houtian Tenth Floor disciples?” Li Qing found it hard to believe. Not to mention the tenth level of the Houtian realm, there were all Xiantian level disciples. Anyone who came out would be able to deal with him.

‘”It’s the younger generation. It can only be counted as younger than 30 years old. If you’re older than 30 years old, you won’t be considered a youngster. You won’t be able to participate in this competition. Otherwise, some old fellows who have cultivated for decades will also come to participate in this competition. Isn’t that bullying the younger ones with their big ones?”

“That’s right.” Li Qing nodded. To be able to cultivate to the tenth level of the Houtian realm before the age of thirty was already not easy, let alone Cui Yunsheng, who was definitely more powerful than ordinary people.

Li Qing had encountered countless fortuitous encounters recently, and he had sufficient cultivation resources to reach the ninth level of the Houtian realm. He was still far from reaching the tenth level. One had to know that the later he went, the slower his cultivation would become. He would probably need a long time to reach the tenth level of the Houtian realm.

“In the past few days, Cui Yunsheng has been to the Serene Moon Peak, the Mystic Water Peak, the Blue Wolf Peak, and the Cyanwood Peak. He has fought all over the peaks and suppressed the younger generation. This is a real battle record. His reputation has already spread throughout the Eight Desolate Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been called the number one person in the younger generation.”

“What? So many people are no match for him? That’s a bit formidable.” Li Qing was a little surprised.

Although it was difficult to reach the tenth level of the Houtian realm before the age of thirty, it wasn’t without them. There were always a few outstanding figures on each peak that could reach it. As a result, none of these people were Cui Yunsheng’s opponents. It could be seen that his strength could not be underestimated.

He couldn’t help but think in his heart, who was stronger than Cui Yunsheng? If Cui Yunsheng was invincible, would he go up and fight?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a little excited. The hot blood in his chest began to boil.

However, he quickly shook his head. Now that he had just returned, he was anxious to go back to see Elder Liu. How could he have the time to compete?

“Regardless, what does it matter if you win or lose? Even if you lose, you won’t lose a hair.” Li Qing didn’t care much, so he didn’t intend to go on stage.

‘”Why not? This is related to the reputation of our Flaming Sun Peak. After all, the Golden Emperor Peak has been ranked first among the various peaks for nearly a hundred years. The number and strength of its disciples far exceed each other, causing them to look down on the disciples of the other peaks. If they lose again this time, wouldn’t it help increase their arrogance?”

Although the eight peaks were their respective masters, they had always been secretly competing. Amongst the eight peaks, the Golden Emperor Peak was the strongest and had dominated for nearly a hundred years.

“Alright, I’ll go back now and meet my master. If the competition isn’t over by then, I’ll come back and fight again.” Li Qing said.

“What? You’re going?” That person was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said disdainfully, “It’s not that I look down on you. With your strength, you may still be considered a character in Flaming Sun Peak, but in the entire Eight Desolates Sect, you are ordinary.”

Obviously, he did not think that Li Qing had the strength to win the competition.

Li Qing smiled and did not argue. After all, no one knew his true strength. However, he did want to compete with Cui Yunsheng to see what level of strength he was at.

As he spoke, victory and defeat had already been decided. Chen Jun’s strength was even stronger. After a bitter battle, he finally won the competition. He looked somewhat complacent as he looked provocatively at the Golden Emperor Peak’s people. In his arrogant stance, he was arrogant.

After Li Qing finished watching this match, he did not want to continue watching. He wanted to leave to find Elder Liu.

Just as he led Liu Ke’er out, the crowd suddenly stirred. Then, they split up and a few elders walked out.

“Master!” Li Qing’s body trembled and he almost shouted.

“That’s grandfather!” Liu Ke’er exclaimed in a low voice and was also shocked.

After such a long time, they finally saw Elder Liu again. Their moods were extremely excited, and their eyes were slightly wet.

Since Elder Liu had arrived here, they were not in a hurry to leave. On this occasion, it was not good for them to rashly pay him a visit. It was better to wait for the end of the competition before looking for him. They were not in a hurry for a moment.

…

There were a total of three elders. Elder Liu and the Commandment Elder were among them. The last one was dressed in golden clothes and had sharp eyes. He was obviously the Golden Emperor Peak’s elder.

This elder was the one leading the martial arts competition at Yan Yang Peak this time. After he brought a dozen disciples to Yan Yang Peak, he first allowed them to move freely. He then went to find Elder Liu and the Commandment Elder and other high-ranking members of Yan Yang Peak to chat about the past in a certain place. Only now did he appear in front of everyone.

“You guys can continue to compete. We’re just here to see.” The Golden Emperor Peak’s elder said. His gaze was sharp and sharp, and he was very confident in his heart. He felt that Golden Emperor Peak’s disciples would definitely win, so there was no suspense.

Chen Jun had just won the next competition. From his arrogant standpoint, when he saw the elders coming, his spirits lifted and he decided to perform well.

He proudly shouted at the group of people on Golden Emperor Peak, “Who else, who else dares to fight me?”

Cui Yunsheng’s expression was still faint. He looked at Chen Jun as if he was looking at an ant. A cold smile flashed across the corner of his mouth and he waved his hand behind him. “Zheng Tianxiong, go ahead and suppress his arrogance.”

“Alright.” A burly man replied. This person had a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist. He was tall and had a large golden sword in his hand. His face carried a ferocious expression, like that of a violent bear.

Of course, the most important thing was that his cultivation was at the tenth level of the Houtian realm!

“Zheng Tianxiong is coming up!” Everyone discussed and recognized him.

“This person is at the tenth level of the Houtian realm. He is second only to Cui Yunsheng in the Golden Emperor Peak. He is very powerful. I didn’t expect that he would be sent here so quickly. Now, there will be a good show to watch.”

“Chen Jun is only at the ninth level of the Houtian realm. I’m afraid he’s going to lose this match.”

…

Zheng Tianxiong walked to the center of the arena, looked at Chen Jun and said contemptuously, “Your strength is too weak, you can’t.”

Chen Jun’s lungs were about to explode with anger, and his opponent’s attitude was exceptionally unbearable. He had always been high and mighty. In the past, he was the only one who despised others. How could others despise him?

“Didn’t you just cultivate for a few more years than me? What’s there to be proud of? I can still beat you.” Chen Jun’s expression was gloomy. Although he was known as a genius, he was still a little younger. He did not cultivate as long as the other party, so his cultivation was naturally weaker.

“I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Hurry up and start fighting. I’ll get rid of you sooner.” Zheng Tianxiong’s face was filled with disdain, as if he was unwilling to say anything else.

“How dare you? You’ve angered me. Today, I’m going to defeat the strong with the weak and start the first battle of fame in my life!” Chen Jun was furious. He directly pulled out his saber and rushed forward.

He rushed forward aggressively, slashing out a flaming sun saber technique and rushing over.
