Since Master requested it, Lin Hao dared not disobey. He quickly closed his eyes, recalling the elegance of his Master's sword strike.

  Then, he suddenly opened his eyes, eling all the spiritual energy in his body into the Scarlet Spirit Sword.

  A phoenix's cry echoed across the peak of Great Bamboo Peak.

  "Not bad."

  Seeing the fiery phoenix sword aura, a hint of delight fshed in Feng gyue's eyes. She lightly raised her jade-like hand, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy burst forth.

  With a single palm, she dispelled the sword aura!

  S!

  Lin Hao swallowed hard.

  His full-strength move hadn't even ruffled the hem of his Master's robe.

  "Not bad, you've touched the threshold of my Fire Lotus Sword Teique. Today, I'll teach you the remaining moves."

  Lin Hao's eyes focused. His Master's self-created sword moves, alsnature skill, were going to be taught to him?

  Thinking of this, he was filled with excitement.

  "Ordinary sword teiques emphasize the interpy of reality and illusion, with endless variations."

  "My sword teique is different. Every move is real, seven secutive sword moves without any tricks, fog solely on overwhelming momentum!"

  "I'll demonstrate it once, watch closely."

  Feng gyue reached into the void and pulled out a bzing sun sword.

  She then assumed a stand struck out!

  Bzing Sun Fmes!

  Firestorms across the sky!

  ...

  Fire Phoenix Scorg the Pins!

  World-Destroying Fire Lotus!

  Seven sword moves, each with unparalleled might!

  Orike, like a bzing sun in the sky!

  Orike, the sky filled with firestorms!

  ...

  Orike, the Fire Phoenix spewed crimson fmes!

  Orike, the Fire Lotus devoured the void!

  Seven sword moves, seven different phenomena!

  Lin Hao was utterly entranced!

  It was a long time before he came back to his senses.

  "Unmatched sword moves!"

  Feng gyue sheathed her sword and stood with her hands behind her back. During the demonstration, she hadn't infused spiritual energy, mainly to avoid destroying Great Bamboo Peak.

  Seeing her disciple return to his senses, she calmly asked, "Have you lear?"

  Lin Hao first hen shook his head.

  He had memorized the moves but knew he couldn't execute them.

  "Remembering the moves is enough. You try to perform them, and I'll guide you."

  With his Master personally teag him, Lin Hao dared not dey.

  Holding the Scarlet Spirit Sword in one hand, sun-like spiritual energy coiled around his fiips.

  He raised his hand and struck out a sword, a sun the size of a millstone flew out, crashing heavily into a distant mountain peak.

  Boom!

  The violent sword move sent rocks flying from the mountain!

  The peak was further cracked by the scorg heat!

  This move, its power was terrifying!

  Lin Hao himself was shocked!

  Strong!

  Incredibly strong!

  In the Demon Hunting Tour, he had entered many prodigies. His cultivation level wasn't weak, but he struggled with inferior teiques, uo defeat the prodigies of other sects.

  If he had mastered this move then, how could he have been weaker than others?

  Now, with his Master's sword teiques, he was even more fident about fag Ning Qingxue in half a month!

  This brat's talent in swordsmanship is truly astonishing, but there's always someoronger. He mustn't bee arrogant.

  Thinking of this, Feng gyue spoke with a smile, "Watch how I use this move."

  With that, Feng gyue lifted Lin Hao and flew out of the Xuan Yi's mountain gate.

  If she infused spiritual energy, the move's power would be astounding, and she definitely couldn't use it within the sect.

  She pced Lin Hao on a desote mountain.

  Feng gyue hovered in the air, exuding a terrifying aura, like a Heavenly Immortal in fury!

  Terrifying fmes of spiritual energy rose around her, and she raised her hand to strike.

  A sun as rge as a star fell from the sky!

  Boom!

  A mountaiuro dust.

  "......"

  Lin Hao didn't know how to describe his shock.

  He felt ashamed of the arrogance he had just felt.

  pared to his Master, the sun he had struck was like a tiny firefly. What was there to be proud of?

  He put away all his pride and humbly sought guidance from his Master.

  Oaught with all her heart, the other learned diligently, and progress was swift.

  Xuan Yi, sect master's pace.

  In the hall were five seats glowing with a treasure-like light and a table made of cold jade, on which y a topographic map.

  It was the map of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains!

  The leaders of the five great righteous sects sat around the table.

  They were discussing how to resist the Demon 's retaliation, but after half a day, they hadn't e up with a pn.

  The main issue was the scattered locations of the five great immortal sects, each overseeing dozens of subsidiary sects and several mortal kingdoms, stretg the battle lioo long, making it hard to know where to defend!

  The Sect Leader of the Lieya, impatient by nature, was already frustrated by the ck of a pn. He smmed the table and said, "Instead of scratg our heads here, why don't we charge into Qingqiu again and sy that old dog Green Mountain? The Demon 's forces would surely colpse."

  The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect shook his head, "What Sect Leader Zhao suggests is unfeasible. The Demon is currently strong and has called in powerful reinforts. To rashly eheir territory would be to walk into a trap."

  "But discussing here yields s either. Are we just going to wait for the Demon to attack us?"

  A hint of disdain fshed in the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader's eyes, his voice gradually turning cold, "The Supreme Elders of each sect are old, their lifespans nearing an end, and are in seclusion to break through. Only by breaking through they extend their lifespans... They won't aless the sect faces life ah.

  we defeat the Demon with just us?

  I don't have that ability. If Sect Leader Zhao is so mighty, he try it himself!"

  Among the five sect leaders, the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader was the stro. If he was unwilling, Zhao Wuji dared not take the lead and could only sullenly close his mouth.

  Sect Leader Ouyang sighed softly, about to speak, when someone requested an audience.

  She sent a stream of light from her fiips, opening the pace's barrier, and Ning Qingxue walked in.

  "Demoness!"

  The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader's brow furrowed, a magical sword f in front of him, ready to strike at any moment.

  "Brother Wang, please show mercy, Qingxue is my disciple!"

  Sect Leader Ouyang quickly intervened when she saw the other sect leaders showing killing i.

  The Lieya and Xuan Yi had always been at odds, and their alliahis time was out of y. Now, without a on enemy, Zhao Wuji turned his ire o Leader Ouyang.

  "How nice, we're fighting the Demon the front lines, while Sect Leader Ouyang is raising demons here. Such as are truly disheartening!"

  His words sparked the indignation of the other sect leaders.

  Humans and demons were irrecible, especially sihe Xuan Yi and the Qingqiu Demon were aremies. The sect leader raising a Qingqiu demon was something they wanted Sect Leader Ouyang to expin.

  Sect Leader Ouyang had summoned Ning Qio reveal her background to the other sect leaders.

  She took a deep breath and began to narrate Ning Qingxue's story.

  It turned out Ning Qingxue had a blood feud with the Green Mountain Demon King, who had killed her parents. She had been hunted by the Demon d ended up in humaory, where Sect Leader Ouyang had saved her.

  Sect Leader Ouyang stated that during this immortal-demon war, all of Ning Qingxue's as were under her instrus.

  "Hmph!"

  After heari Leader Ouyang's expnation, the Lieya Leader Zhao Wuji flicked his robe, his face darkening.

  "Demons are ruly loyal. Ouyang, you're bold to harbor a demon."

  "I'm not brave enough. I'm afraid of being stabbed in the back."

  "This demon hunt yielded nothing. you guarahis demon is truly helping the human race?"
