Hearing Xu Nanzhi directly address Su Chengyu by his full na, Yu Shuang understood that Xu Nanzhi wouldn’t say a word in her favor regarding this matter.
However, Yu Shuang didn’t feel much turmoil in her heart. Though a bit disappointed, it was indeed sothing expected and reasonable.
Logically, Xu Nanzhi had no reason to speak up for her.
Rather, knowing she sought out Su Chengyu for these troubleso matters, Xu Nanzhi not having any opinion against her was already a relief for Yu Shuang.
"Hmm, thank you, Sister NanZhi."
Yu Shuang composed her emotions and then blinked as she asked, "So when you saw , you already guessed I had sothing important to discuss with him, right?"
"You are his sister. Wanting to find him is only natural. But your emotions told that your reason for finding him was far from ordinary. But still, as I said, you are his sister. Regardless of the matter’s gravity, it should be sothing he judges for himself. I have no right to make any decisions for him."
Xu Nanzhi said lightly, clearly understanding the situation very well.
This only made Yu Shuang feel more guilty inside. She was obviously Su Chengyu’s sister, and the first ti she sought him out, she brought such great trouble.
Whoosh.
Yet another streak of Sword Qi ca, but Xu Nanzhi used a wave to dissolve it completely. Seeing the increasingly severe situation ahead, Xu Nanzhi’s expression also turned grave as she spoke.
"Let’s focus on the present for now; we’re almost there."
Xu Nanzhi’s interruption cut off Yu Shuang’s train of thought.
Gathering her emotions, Yu Shuang turned to look into the distance, where a dense thicket concealed a vast swamp.
There were clear signs of a formation around, making the two imdiately stop in their tracks.
"This formation core is so strange; I’ve never seen such a thod of setting up a formation, yet it feels sowhat familiar."
Yu Shuang furrowed her brows as she watched the formation below, trying to recall it but failing to find a breakthrough.
At this mont, Bei Tang Qian Xiao, who was slightly behind, finally arrived. Though always at the back, she was aware of the commotion upfront, and upon arriving, she imdiately asked.
"What happened with the attack just now?"
Xu Nanzhi glanced at the swamp and explained, "It was just a self-defense strike. There were three genuine Sword Qi encounters earlier, all of them warnings, as if warning us not to approach this place."
Bei Tang Qian Xiao frowned and imdiately looked at the swamp, "Weren’t they the ones who invited us over? Why make such an unnecessary move?"
The straightforward question imdiately highlighted the oddity that both Xu Nanzhi and Yu Shuang had felt earlier. After exchanging a glance, Xu Nanzhi said.
"I don’t know. Maybe we judged wrong from the start, or perhaps this place isn’t under the control of the Demonic Path."
Yu Shuang quickly responded, "Are you saying they want to use us as a tool to bring soone down?"
"I don’t know, but that Sword can’t be fake; it might belong to Yu Yanshu. So..."
"Even knowing sothing is amiss, we have no other choice, right?"
Bei Tang Qian Xiao spoke decisively and then looked around to start taking action first.
"My realm is a bit lower, so I’ll check the movent of this Great Formation around. You two handle the situation at the center of the swamp."
"Okay."
Both Yu Shuang and Xu Nanzhi nodded simultaneously, and in the next mont, Bei Tang Qian Xiao was once again nowhere to be seen.
Watching the swift Bei Tang Qian Xiao, Xu Nanzhi blinked and asked, "Is she always so decisive in her actions?"
"Sister Qian Xiao’s personality is relatively straightforward, but she’s not a bad person, and currently, she might indeed be a bit anxious, right?"
"Because of ngng?"
Xu Nanzhi said subconsciously.
Yu Shuang nodded and pondered as she spoke, "That’s one reason, but I’m also worried she’s conscious of her own realm."
Xu Nanzhi quickly grasped her point and smiled.
"That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Since you’re both Earth Core Lotus holders, I believe she won’t fall behind for long."
Yu Shuang was about to nod, then suddenly realized sothing and was about to speak, but Xu Nanzhi had already headed deeper into the swamp.
Countless sharp streaks of Sword Qi, sensing this outsider, imdiately sward toward Xu Nanzhi. Yu Shuang, careless of other thoughts, activated the Heavenly Gang Divine Wind, flying down to assist Xu Nanzhi in breaking the formation.
"Heavenly Gang Refinent!"
In Yu Shuang’s hand, the Heavenly Gang Divine Wind, like an extended arm, instantly blocked all the Sword Qi.
Standing in the midst, Xu Nanzhi could still distinctly feel a certain Heavenly Dao breath in these Heavenly Gang Divine Winds.
"Luo Shen Rhapsody!"
The Luo Clan thrives by the water, with Luo Shen Rhapsody being the most fundantal Secret Technique passed down in the Luo Clan.
One could say that the Luo Clan’s own Cultivation thod evolved from Luo Shen Rhapsody.
Yet, because of its extrely high cultivation conditions, ninety-nine percent of the People of the Luo Clan don’t qualify to practice this thod.
As a result, this top-tier Cultivation Technique, inherited from the Luo Clan’s Martial God, has not been witnessed in use for hundreds of years.
Behind Xu Nanzhi, a Luo Shen Dharma, bearing a three-part resemblance in form and a seven-part resemblance in essence to Xu Nanzhi, mirrored her actions. As she raised her hand, waves transford into countless veils, incorporating the incoming Sword Qi and thoroughly dissolving it.
Seeing this scene, Yu Shuang’s expression shifted with surprise as she spoke.
"Is this the Supre Immortal Technique, Luo Shen Rhapsody, of the Luo Clan?"
In terms of level, each of the Nine Ancient Tribes has one such Secret Technique. But even with talent as strong as Yu Shuang, without sufficient blood purity, she couldn’t practice the top-tier Cultivation Technique of the Yu Clan.
Xu Nanzhi nodded in acknowledgnt and explained.
"This Cultivation Technique does indeed belong to the pinnacle of the Mortal World, but it’s still limited to the Mortal World. In my view, the Cultivation Technique itself remains a mortal object; it cannot truly be deed a Supre Immortal Technique."
Yu Shuang was sowhat astonished upon hearing this. As a mber of the Ancient Clan, she had always viewed the teachings within her clan as gospel, having never questioned anything told to her by the clan since birth.
But recent events had already shaken Yu Shuang slightly, and now Xu Nanzhi’s words were like a needle pricking at Yu Shuang’s heart.
Noticing Yu Shuang’s reaction, Xu Nanzhi continued, "You don’t need to be so concerned. Even if it’s not a Supre Immortal Technique, the nine Secret Techniques passed down by the Ancient Clans can still be compared to Divine Beast Treasure Techniques. And... if I hadn’t seen a real Immortal Law, I probably wouldn’t assert this."
"You’ve seen it?"
Yu Shuang was even more surprised, then suddenly thought of soone.
"Was it Su... Chengyu?"
Xu Nanzhi smiled and shook her head, "Probably not. I was by ChengYu’s side at the start of his cultivation, and that Cultivation Technique should have been left by Old man Su. But it likely hasn’t reached the level of a Supre Immortal Technique."
"Then who are you referring to?"
"Ye Qingci."
