“With your silver tongue, let’s have a proper chat when I return.”

Without waiting for Gu Jianlong’s nonsense, Chen Ping’an’s longsword had already left its scabbard, and with a tap of his toes, he stood upon it, embarking on a sword flight.

Inside the hall, everyone exchanged glances.

He didn’t seem like a fake sword cultivator.

The Summer Palace was filled with sword cultivators, each a genius, aside from the young Hidden Official. They at least possessed this much discernment.

Chou Miao smiled, “Come, let’s bet on whether the Hidden Official is a true sword cultivator. I’ll be the banker this time.”

Then, Chou Miao immediately said, “Guo Zhujiu, you’re not allowed to bet.”

Otherwise, forget about making money; they would surely lose, and most likely lose everything. This girl had a lot of wealth, if nothing else.

Guo Zhujiu, about to bet everything she owned, glared and said, “Why not?!”

As a result, not only Cao Gun’s group but even Luo Zhenyi, Xu Ning, and Chang Taiqing all bet that Chen Ping’an was a sword cultivator.

Chou Miao waved her hand and said, “What gambling? You’re all so young, with such rotten cultivations, neglecting your duties! Hurry up and get to work! Guo Zhujiu, put everything back in the bamboo box!”

Guo Zhujiu rolled her eyes.

Without even a single shill, and she dared to be the banker? Her master always said that a gambling table, including the banker and all ten people, should have eight shills to be proper.

After gathering her large and small items, Guo Zhujiu frowned. After looking around, she reluctantly approached Chou Miao, the one with the highest cultivation and mediocre brain, and asked, “Great Sword Immortal Chou Miao, will my master be alright?”

Chou Miao smiled, “Don’t worry.”

The other sword cultivators all had strange expressions.

Gu Jianlong said, “I don’t know if the Hidden Official will be alright, but I do know that whoever your master sets his sights on is definitely in trouble.”

Wang Xinshui nodded, “Brother Gu’s words resonate with me.”

Everyone quickly fell silent.

Because a major accident appeared in the scroll.

On the battlefield, it was common for powerful demons observing the battle to make random moves.

This time, it was the great demon Bai Ying, sitting on a throne of white bones, who displayed a supernatural power, extremely brutal and unreasonable. On the battlefield near the city wall, tens of thousands of bone-laden puppet corpses stood up instantly, scattered in all directions, attempting to help the army swarm the city. Although the mindless corpses, resurrected in this manner on the battlefield, were far less powerful than they had been in life, the sudden addition of tens of thousands of troops to one side on the front lines was not easy for the sword cultivators on the city wall.

Before these bone puppets could swarm the city wall, Jade Purity Realm Sword Immortal Wu Chengpei unleashed his natal sword, “Sweet Rain,” for the first time.

As Wu Chengpei’s flying sword manifested, wherever there was blood on the ground, “rain” rose from the earth, gathering towards the sky. The torrential rain flowed upward, creating a scene as if heaven and earth were inverted, with only Wu Chengpei’s sword intent rain falling normally.

After a downpour, the bone puppets and the demon army at the base of the wall were almost instantly annihilated.

After that, Wu Chengpei repeatedly activated his natal sword, pushing outward from the base of the city wall. After five heavy rains on the battlefield, only a fraction survived, all of them high-realm demon cultivators or demons whose bodies were naturally tough even before they transformed into human form. These survivors became targets for the sword cultivators on the city wall, halting the advance of the Wildlands army.

Wu Chengpei then sheathed his sword and quietly moved to another section of the city wall to continue refining his sword.

It was hard to imagine that this was the work of a single Jade Purity Realm sword immortal.

An aging old sword cultivator stealthily climbed onto the city wall, just in time to witness this scene up close.

Subsequently, sword immortals appeared one after another, rushing to the battlefield, inspiring awe.

Dong Sangeng, Chen Xi, Qi Tingji, the three old sword immortals who inscribed their names on the city wall.

Lu Zhi, Nalan Shaowei, Yue Qing, Yao Lanyun, Mi Hu, and other great sword immortals also left the city wall one after another.

Furthermore, female sword immortals Zhou Cheng, Yuan Qingshu, Tao Wen, and others were no exception.

The three sages of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, who were seated in the Sword Qi Great Wall, began to display their divine powers, transforming the world.

Therefore, the sword immortals who ventured deep into the enemy’s territory were suppressing…
