Su Lianlian seized the opportunity and prepared to escape.

Little did she expect that the residents of Azure Rock Town, who had heard the commotion, had already armed themselves with arrows dipped in anesthetic, and they aimed their bows at Luoli when they saw him attacking the Celestial Master.

Seeing Su Lianlian preparing to flee, more than a dozen arrows were shot towards her.

In order to avoid the arrows, Su Lianlian had no choice but to give up on escaping.

As the smoke cleared, several residents recognized Cuihan. They aimed their arrows at Lu Chuan and said, "Let her go, or we won't be polite."

Faced with these ignorant residents, Lu Chuan didn't want to say much. He released Cuihan and let the residents take her away.

Cuihan was startled by the loud noise just now and couldn't react for a moment.

How could the old man who had lived with her for decades possess such great power? Why would he attack her?

Could it be that he had forgotten who she was?

The residents pulled Cuihan aside and said, "Cuihan, don't obstruct the Celestial Master in his mission to eliminate evil!"

Cuihan muttered, "Celestial Master..."

The "evil" they referred to were the few people who were asking for directions in the forest. And the Celestial Master was...

Remembering the hesitant response of the familiar person in Azure Rock Town when asked about the Celestial Master, Cuihan had an answer in her heart.

With a probing tone, Cuihan asked, "Is Lao Chu the Celestial Master you mentioned?"

The residents shook their heads and spoke one after another:

"Lao Chu is already dead. The Celestial Master is the immortal who descended upon Lao Chu after his death."

"He is an immortal who came specifically to save Azure Rock Town."

"Some people prayed to the Celestial Master for a long time and their incurable diseases were cured the next day; some secretly reported the mayor's actions to the Celestial Master, and even the mayor received divine punishment..."

"Hey, the Celestial Master doesn't harm people. The mayor deserved it!"

Cuihan listened, feeling confused. She turned to look at the middle-aged man not far away, a very familiar face.

She muttered in her heart, "No, he is not the Celestial Master, he is my old man. I have already lost my daughter, I can't lose my husband too."

Zuo Tianya also understood. The Cuihan who had just pounced on him was the wife of this body.

He looked at Su Lianlian, who was preparing to escape, and sneered, "Look, this is a righteous and prestigious family. One attacks when others are speaking, and the other runs away when others are speaking.

Alright, since you don't want to play the game, let's end it quickly. It will be dawn soon."

Luoli heard what the residents said and furrowed his brows. He took out the Fourth Grade Spirit Sword gifted by Nangong Xi from his storage ring.

Holding the sword towards Zuo Tianya, Luoli said, "You deceived the residents of Azure Rock Town!"

Luoli's voice lost its usual warmth.

Zuo Tianya saw Luoli's anger and his perverse interest was aroused again.

The ingredients were already prepared, just lacking the seasoning.

And resentment, anger, regret, these negative emotions were the best seasoning.

"Deceived? I haven't done such a thing. Haven't you heard what those residents said? I am their savior. In their eyes, you outsiders are the culprits disturbing the peace of Azure Rock Town."

"Nonsense!" Luoli rebuked angrily.

The residents of Azure Rock Town lack a correct understanding of cultivators, just like the people around here. They all have varying degrees of spiritual energy in their bodies, but there are middle-aged and even elderly people who have absorbed secular impurities for too long and do not possess the ability to cultivate.

Zuo Tianya made all the residents of Azure Rock Town cultivate, and the residents believed that it was for strengthening their bodies, curing diseases, and prolonging their lives. In reality, they were depleting the limited essence and energy in their bodies.

They were deceived by an Evil Cultivator. This reminded Luo Li of her two elder brothers.

Six years ago, Luo Li's two elder brothers had just come of age. According to the rules of the royal family, they had to compete for the right to inherit the throne.

As full brothers, they were originally close and had been mutually accommodating in the matter of succession, each wanting the other to become the next emperor.

However, the Evil Cultivator took advantage of the situation and secretly manipulated both of them, planting seeds of doubt about each other in their ears.

Over time, their patience was exhausted. The Evil Cultivator even arranged for someone to assassinate one of the princes and used dark cultivation techniques to make the assassin falsely accuse the other prince.

From then on, the two brothers broke ties and expanded their own influence in the court.

"Do you know, Crown Prince, the current emperor is siding with the Second Prince. They want to unite and get rid of you," the Evil Cultivator tempted the Crown Prince.

The next day, the Crown Prince staged a coup. With one fell swoop, he became the emperor, while the previous emperor was placed under house arrest and the Second Prince was rescued by his trusted aide. The Evil Cultivator was appointed as the national teacher.

After a period of recuperation, the Second Prince led a rebellion.

Xia Kingdom became a chaotic place, and with the Evil Cultivator's authority as the national teacher, a large number of Evil Cultivators entered Xia Kingdom, causing havoc.

Unable to bear it any longer, Luo Li spoke out and urged her elder brother to stop. As a result, she earned the hatred of the Evil Cultivator, who sent someone to assassinate her.

On the run, when Luo Li was pushed to a dead end, Lin Qingxue happened to pass by and saved her. Lin Qingxue, a proud and noble female sword immortal, reminded Luo Li of her love for swords. She realized that she could join a cultivation sect, cultivate to Great Accomplishment, and return to Xia Kingdom to change the current situation.

So, Luo Li disguised herself as a man and joined the Hope Immortal Gate.

Starting from the outer sect, she worked hard and ascended to the inner sect in half a year. Five years later, during the inner sect competition, she encountered Lin Qingxue and Senior Brother Lu Chuan.

Being powerless and on the run in the mortal world was a nightmare that Luo Li often had, a secret fear that no one knew about.

In the past, she had no strength to resist, but now it was different. She had a spiritual sword in her hand and the sword techniques taught by Lin Qingxue and Lu Chuan in her heart.

This time, she would not run away anymore. She would face her inner demons head-on, even if there was a gap in cultivation level, she would fight until the very end.

Luo Li held the spiritual sword and swung it towards Zuo Tianya's chest.

Zuo Tianya didn't even try to dodge. He was confident in the strength of his physical body.

He wanted Luo Li to realize the insurmountable gap between them, that all her actions were in vain, and to make her feel despair.

Ding--

As the sound of metal clashing rang out, Zuo Tianya spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zuo Tianya wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, looking at the blood in his palm, he felt puzzled. What had happened to him?

A Qi Refining Stage brat actually managed to injure him, who was at the Foundation Building stage of Body Refining?

This was ridiculous!

Only to see that the blade of Luo Li's sword was covered in flames. Zuo Tianya's physical body was strong, but she focused all her strength on one point, causing a wound, and then sent the flames on the blade into the wound.

"The Sima Family's Fiery Flame Sword?" Su Lianlian exclaimed in surprise.

This was one of the Sima Family's secret techniques. During the inner sect competition, Sima Dong had used this move against Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan nodded. Luo Li was able to learn it just by watching once, showing her high comprehension of swordsmanship.

Although not as high as my Flawless Sword Body.
