Earth Sword Immortal is different from Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu was only an average martial artist with no special talents in his early years of training in martial arts.
However, he lived long enough and practiced martial arts for so long that he eventually beca skilled in all four paths of martial arts: strength, technique, spiritual power, and fighting skills.
Earth Sword Immortal, on the other hand, had clear strengths and weaknesses.
Besides recovering from a serious illness in his youth, he also neglected his internal energy training halfway through.
In terms of skills and power, Earth Sword Immortal is excellent and is still the number one martial artist in the Jiu Province Skill List.
So when Qiao Mu and Lu Yanbei walked out of a corner of the villa ruins, Earth Sword Immortal imdiately noticed them.
"Is Fifth Brother here?" Earth Sword Immortal’s voice carried a faint smile.
Lu Yanbei raised an eyebrow slightly, too lazy to bother with him.
The two brothers glanced at each other from a distance, no greetings exchanged, but both felt a sense of relief.
"What is he talking about? Who is Fifth Brother?"
"A stone sword, does it also have brothers? Are there four more swords like him?"
People in the martial arts world were a bit puzzled.
The red-clad female sword demon next to them also felt sowhat puzzled.
"Why did you suddenly relax?" The red-clothed female sword demon asked in surprise.
In fact, Earth Sword Immortal has never been nervous, always very relaxed.
It’s just that at this mont, he suddenly completely relaxed, showing a clear difference in his state.
"Is your fifth brother very strong?" the red-clothed female sword demon asked casually.
"Is he even stronger than you were in your lifeti? Is that why you suddenly relaxed?"
After finishing her last words and talking about her secretive past, her previous cold deanor disappeared.
"Not really," Earth Sword Immortal said lightly.
"My fifth brother’s martial arts skills are nothing special."
"He is in good condition now, looking a few years younger, full of vitality, obviously improving in martial arts…. After all, it’s only been a year or two, why worry?"
"Why?" the girl in red asked again.
Earth Sword Immortal said lightly:
"Because my fifth brother is not as ruthless and cold-hearted as ."
"If he saw
in danger, about to fall into the hands of the Elder of the Immortal Gate, he would be more anxious than a little eunuch."
"But he doesn’t seem worried."
"So it’s clear, my fifth brother is not anxious, probably because he doesn’t think the situation is too dangerous at the mont."
"Although his martial arts have improved, he hasn’t made great progress overnight – so it’s obvious that there’s soone or sothing giving him confidence."
Earth Sword Immortal paused and glanced at Qiao Mu beside Lu Yanbei.
After each death and resurrection, Qiao Mu would adjust his appearance slightly, but generally speaking, he would have a resemblance, showing that he belonged to a family.
The sword demon in red clothes thought for a mont before saying:
"Is that so? I don’t believe it."
The Earth Sword Immortal was montarily at a loss for words.
The red-clad female sword demon gazed deeply, obviously recalling past events.
"How could there be a immortal sword in the mortal world? It doesn’t make sense."
"In my opinion, you have gone mad, putting your hopes in others’ hands."
Regardless of whether the Earth Sword Immortal believed it or not, she didn’t believe it.
"It’s understandable that you don’t believe, after all, you are an ancient person from the late Great Zhou Dynasty three to four hundred years ago." The Earth Sword Immortal shrugged it off.
"Three to four hundred years ago, there was no Earth Sword Immortal in the world, just as there was no Qiao family mber."
Qiao family mber?
Just escaped a sandstorm magic attack, Xue Changhe, covered in blood, was suddenly shaken.
He had been thinking about the Qiao family mber, and now seeing a living Qiao family mber, he was naturally quite moved.
"Is the Qiao family mber here too? Perfect timing."
Xue Changhe leaped up, using his lightness skill, swiftly moving in front of Qiao Mu.
"Are you really a Qiao family mber?" he asked.
"Qiao family, Qiao Pianxin," Qiao Mu nodded.
Xue Changhe also nodded.
Before facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, the inexperienced Xue Changhe would compare himself to figures like Qiao Mu and Martial Saint.
But now, he no longer has the interest in competing.
"No ti to explain," Xue Changhe said quickly.
"These two Immortal Gate cultivators are very tricky. Mr. Qiao Pianxin, coming here, I assu you didn’t co to just stand by, right?"
"These two Immortal Gate cultivators are not to be underestimated. If you have the intention to defeat them, why not join forces with , Xue Changhe?"
As he said this, he noticed that Qiao Pianxin had no reaction, just glanced at him with a strange look, but did not reply.
Thinking about his own status, Xue Changhe continued:
"Mr. Qiao Pianxin, do you have other concerns? Although I, Xue Changhe, don’t travel in the martial world much, my Xue family in Jiu Province is a prominent family…"
Qiao Mu’s expression beca even more strange at these words.
Xue Changhe began to get a little impatient at the sight.
"Mr. Qiao, things change quickly in battle. It’s not the ti to be proud of your position now."
"Those two Immortal Gate mbers seem to be elders of the Immortal Gate, very powerful. Even though your Qiao family has defeated so mbers before, it’s not a ti to be careless now. You shouldn’t try to fight alone."
Xue Changhe thought that Qiao Pianxin might be feeling the sa way as he did just now when he didn’t respond.
When soone’s martial arts skills are advanced and they practice the Spiritual Refining thod, they naturally beco very confident and proud of their skills.
If Xue Changhe hadn’t been stunned just now, he would have considered fighting Elder Qingzhuo one-on-one to see who would win….
Xue Changhe had just finished speaking.
Then Qiao Mu raised his hand slightly.
A strange large sword erged from his storage bag and he held it in his hand.
This strange weapon, more like a large piece of tal in a human shape than a sword.
He raised the strange big sword in his hand, without saying much, he swung the sword.
Whoosh…
Qiao Mu’s robe moved on its own, a huge amount of True strength poured out, creating ripples in the air like sea waves.
In an instant, Xue Changhe’s skin felt like it was being cut by a knife, a strong warning sign erged…
With a single slash of the King Qin Sword, a vast energy poured out, roaring like crashing waves.
Xue Changhe’s expression changed suddenly.
He was not an ordinary person; at a young age, he was the head of the Xue family and had once been at the top of the Strength List.
The Xue family was known for its deep internal strength like the deep sea, and at the age of twenty, he had accumulated the family’s power for over a thousand years.
Only at this mont.
But he felt like a lone boat in a storm.
The huge amount of energy swirling around him made even him feel scared.
"What does this man nad Qiao want to do?"
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard a loud wind behind his ears.
When he looked back, he saw a dark cloud of flying sand and rocks, roaring and surging towards him like an avalanche.
It was just in that mont.
Qiao Mu’s sword light also arrived.
There was a loud bang.
The heavy sandstorm quickly dispersed under the sharp sword light, scattering sand and gravel.
Water splashed and kicked up a circle of dust waves, sweeping towards them.
Xue Changhe was caught in the dust waves, even though he quickly used his inner strength to protect himself. However, he couldn’t control his body and was flung away.
He flew directly out for dozens of ters, leaving long ruts in the ground with his feet before managing to stand unsteadily.
He looked back in horror to see the place where he had stood before turned into flat ground, with only rubble and sand left…
"I couldn’t completely block the aftermath of their battle?"
Xue Changhe’s blood boiled as he felt all the martial artists around him watching. His face turned bright red.
He wasn’t injured, just embarrassed.
He had just been eagerly talking and trying to team up with Qiao Mu to deal with the Elder from the Immortal Gate.
He had originally thought Qiao Pianxin was arrogant, self-assured, and wanting to fight alone…
Now he finally understood why Qiao Pianxin didn’t respond and looked weird when facing his partnership proposal.
It turns out it wasn’t Qiao Pianxin with the problem, but him.
"Is this the famous warrior from the Jiu Province, Qiao family mber? His inner strength…" murmured Xue Changhe to himself.
The vast inner strength accumulated over thousands of years by the Xue family, seed inferior in front of this person.
……………………………………
At this mont, Qiao Mu didn’t have ti to deal with Xue Changhe’s sudden muttering.
"Qingzhuo?" he raised the King Qin Sword, squinting his eyes at the sky.
Qiao Mu had indeed interacted with Qingzhuo, the senior elder of Great Dao Sect, and he was the first Nascent Soul Elder he had fought.
However, after two years, both sides had changed significantly.
"Another one from the Qiao family?" Elder Qingzhuo’s expression turned cold, and he snorted:
"It’s really unfortunate, coming to this Southeast Province and encountering a mber of the Qiao family."
As he spoke, Elder Qingzhuo’s emotions surged.
"Back then, I was careless for a mont and got injured by a mortal surnad Qiao."
"Today, the injury from the foundation has already healed, so there’s no need to make the sa mistake again."
Elder Qingzhuo was the first Immortal Gate elder to be injured by a mortal.
His main body was injured by Qiao Mu and Earth Sword Immortal, while his dharma body was absorbed by Martial Saint.
It was indeed a big loss to suffer at the hands of martial artists in the mortal realm.
That’s why he absolutely won’t be careless now!
Before eting a mber of the Qiao family.
He was a respected Nascent Soul Elder of the Great Dao Sect in Zhong Province, holding real power.
After eting a mber of the Qiao family.
He almost beca a disgrace to the Nascent Soul, ordered by the sect leader to leave Zhong Province and go overseas, unable to return to his dwelling for healing, feeling like a rejected stray dog.
He later fought desperately overseas to compete for spiritual dicine on various islands, finally earning a chance to heal his foundational injuries.
Now, upon eting a mber of the Qiao family again, he naturally had many thoughts swirling in his mind.
Elder Qingzhuo snorted coldly:
"Friend Xuanji, for safety’s sake, shall we join forces?"
Elder Xuanji was slightly surprised, but of course didn’t refuse.
When dealing with ordinary martial artists, even two Nascent Soul Elders must join forces, otherwise they might beco a laughing stock for other Immortal Gates.
But Elder Xuanji still rembered the backlash he faced when he tried to use his precious treasure, the Xuanji Map, to investigate the Qiao family mber’s background back at the sect.
How could a re mortal family have such influence that it caused this Nascent Soul cultivator’s divination to fail and suffer backlash, leaving him with a sense of confusion and unease…
Initially, he had no intention of getting involved with the Qiao family mber again, but little did he expect to cross paths with Qiao Mu when he ca to the Sword Tomb this ti…
Was it just a coincidence?
For cultivators on the Soul Predicting Path, everything has its destiny, every action has its consequences…
Elder Xuanji couldn’t help but feel a bit restless at the mont and naturally agreed without hesitation.
There was no avoiding it, as a Nascent Soul Elder, why should he be afraid of an ordinary person?
"Co!"
"Co and take my life!"
Two Nascent Soul Elders in the sky shouted at the sa ti, each using their hand gestures to cast spells.
Elder Xuanji pointed casually, and suddenly the dark clouds in the sky rolled, thunder rumbled, and a palm-sized thunder ford quickly in his hand.
Elder Qingzhuo also acted in that mont.
"Shadow Wind Escape Technique!"
He gestured with his hands and instantly turned into a gust of black wind, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Elder Xuanji: ?
He was a bit slow to react, feeling briefly stunned.
Two Nascent Soul Elders teaming up to deal with a regular person seed a bit embarrassing.
So Elder Qingzhuo was playing tricks and trying to escape without helping?
"Friend Xuanji." Elder Qingzhuo secretly communicated at this mont,
"I just received a ssage from the Great Dao Sect leader, there is an important matter happening in our sect, I’m ordered to return imdiately, please forgive my rudeness."
Elder Xuanji: ???
For a mont, he even stopped to consider if this was true…
After all, when an important matter happens in the sect, ordering the elder to return imdiately is not impossible.
Maybe the possibility of Elder Qingzhuo escaping in the face of a mortal and leaving him in a difficult situation could be even greater…
"What is Friend Qingzhuo thinking?" Elder Xuanji was briefly stunned and then beca angry.
In reality, Elder Qingzhuo’s small sche was very effective.
Don’t say it’s Elder Xuanji.
Even Qiao Mu himself didn’t expect that after years of not seeing Elder Qingzhuo, he would be so shy that he ran away before Qiao Mu could even make a move.
…………………………………..
By this ti, Elder Qingzhuo had already disappeared into the sky.
While sending a ssage to Elder Xuanji to explain the situation, he was also smirking.
With a cold smile on his lips:
"Until now, did you still think I am the sa old Qingzhuo?"
During these past two years, he watched with cold eyes as Yunxiao Sect faced troubles.
Qingzhuo was the first cultivator to be severely injured by mortals.
When the first Nascent Soul cultivator was defeated by a mortal, he beca a disgrace to Nascent Soul practitioners and the cultivation world.
But if more cultivators fail and are defeated by mortals, it’s a different story.
Over the past few months, he watched from the sidelines and heard about the trouble at Yunxiao Sect. He heard that several Nascent Soul Elders, similar to Senior Elder Qingzhuo, suddenly began to "seclude themselves"…
While others may underestimate mbers of the Qiao family, Qingzhuo would never, as he has suffered enough losses!
As for Earth Sword Immortal and Elder Xuanji, he had long forgotten about them.
"I have changed a lot since then, so I won’t be careless again!"
With this in mind, Senior Elder Qingzhuo used all his strength to perform the Black Wind Escape technique, breaking through the sky and flying far away.
