The Madam Rouge, with her daily chattering at Lu Zhi’s side, seemingly spouting wisdom, was in reality dispensing biased and extreme opinions. Left unchecked, it would inevitably lead to trouble.

Not that she intentionally sought to instigate Lu Zhi; it was simply that she sometimes couldn’t help herself.

After Shao Yunyan’s roundabout reminder, Madam Rouge was now somewhat apprehensive, truly afraid of that ruthless young Hidden Official.

Hastily changing the subject, Madam Rouge said, “Master Lu, the Old Sword Immortal Qi has arrived in South Po娑 Continent.”

Lu Zhi nodded. “Most likely, he has given up on the Fifth World and is preparing to accumulate merit, intending to establish a sect in the Magnificent Azure World. This is a good thing.”

Shao Yunyan said, “It seems that two younger cultivators from the Great Wall of Swords, Chen Sanqiu and Diezhang, have also journeyed here. Since there is no fighting for now, and they had not yet encountered Master Lu, they have gone to visit Da Rang Water first.”

Lu Zhi said, “When the time comes on the battlefield, you two should do your best to protect Chen Sanqiu and Diezhang. I might not be able to look after everyone.”

Shao Yunyan nodded gently, and Madam Rouge gave a graceful bow.

The sword cultivators who entered the Magnificent Azure World, aside from the direct disciples taken by itinerant sword immortals like Li Cai and Pu He, were almost all young children. On the one hand, the children had not yet grown up, and on the other hand, their teachers, even after leaving the Great Wall of Swords, continued to draw their swords frequently.

Li Cai in North Ju芦 Continent, Song Pin in Golden Armor Continent, Pu He in Flowing Rosy Continent, Xie Songhua in Snowy White Continent, and so on.

Furthermore, the sword immortals and sword cultivators who managed to leave the Great Wall of Swords had all, without exception, returned to the battlefield, only exchanging the Great Wall of Swords for the continents of the Magnificent Azure World. Almost none chose to stand by and watch as the situation collapsed. In this South Po娑 Continent, there was now Qi Tingji, who had successively fought in the Floating Cloud Continent and the Golden Armor Continent, and Lu Zhi, who had been guarding South Po娑 Continent. Mi Yu, who drew his sword in Old Dragon City. In addition, among the Earthly Immortals, there were Chen Sanqiu and Diezhang, who had traveled together from the Central Earth Divine Continent to South Po娑 Continent. And Cui Wei, who had left Fallen Phoenix Mountain and gone to the Eastern Peak battlefront.

This was actually a profound and deeply thought-provoking matter.

In South Po娑 Continent, the foreign sword immortal who had fallen on the Great Wall of Swords, Yuan Qingshu.

So first there was Lu Zhi, the Spring Banner Abode sword immortal Shao Yunyan, then Xie Songhua, and then Chen Sanqiu and Diezhang. Almost the first thing they did upon arriving in South Po娑 Continent was to visit Yuan Qingshu’s sect, Da Rang Water, whose founding ancestor was named Long Cheng, a native of Fengjie County. He had found a stone box in the Rang River, guarded by a divine being. Long Cheng eventually obtained the five ancient jade seals from the stone box, the script of which was not the common seal script of later generations. Long Cheng kept only one on his mountain, and after that, with only a Sea Gazing Realm cultivation, he traveled far across continents to the Central Earth Divine Continent, gifting the other four seals to the Literary Temple, which were then sent by a vice-preceptor to the Sea Suppressing Tower in South Po娑 Continent.

Lu Zhi suddenly asked, “What did Yuan Qingshu write on the worry-free plaque at the wine shop?”

Shao Yunyan shook his head and smiled, “I really haven’t paid attention to that.”

Madam Rouge glanced sideways at Shao Yunyan, and smiled charmingly at Lu Zhi, “I know, it was ‘Let this world know that I, Yuan Qingshu, am a sword immortal’.”

Lu Zhi stared at Madam Rouge, “Do you really know?”

The unspoken meaning of this female Great Sword Immortal: were a thousand annoying mountain and river gazettes worth as much as Yuan Qingshu’s life-risking sword delivery in a foreign land?!

Madam Rouge’s expression changed slightly, and she said timidly, “This servant now remembers, I really do know.”

A handsome young man dressed in a snow-white robe suddenly appeared, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Zhi, and said, “Huang Tong has died in battle on the Southern Mountain battlefront of Treasure Bottle Continent.”

Lu Zhi, who rarely had worries in her life of sword practice, couldn’t help but sigh, turning to look towards Treasure Bottle Continent.

Qi Tingji reached out and grabbed the mountain and river gazette that was drifting away in the wind, and began to read it, saying, “It seems that the last time Dong Sangeng drank to see off a sword immortal was for the Supreme Emblem Sword Sect’s sword immortal Huang Tong.”

Qi Tingji also tossed the gazette away, put his hands behind his back, and smiled with narrowed eyes, “Just wait, if that Zhou Mi succeeds, it would be better if the Magnificent Azure World loses. Everything would be over, and no one would have anything to say. But if we win, this group of mediocre scholars will continue to scold, even more vigorously. Each one looking bright and saying ‘I knew it all along,’ scolding Chen Chunan for inaction, and even scolding the dead in Treasure Bottle Continent…”
