An Ling suppressed her murderous intent towards Lu Xiuhong, and silently followed the two men and left Xuankong Temple.

She looked back. Under the setting sun, the rock walls, as bright as the morning glow, were as dazzling as a golden wall. However, no matter how brilliant the light was, it could not shine into the deep caves. Dust, spider webs and rats stealing food continued to expand in the darkness. Only the eternal statues of gods were silently watching the world with their empty eyes.

An Ling recalled what she had seen and heard in Xuankong Temple before, and bowed solemnly to the temple, silently saying in her heart: "Thanks to your selfless suppression, the world has a chance to breathe."

Gods and demons, revelations and omens, illusions and realities… all had appeared in the secret room of Xuankong Temple, flashing through An Ling’s memory like smoke and fog, like a revolving lantern. She couldn’t help but sigh softly, feeling that all things have spirits, all born from the heart.

Not far away, a horse neighed. It turned out that Lu Xiuhong had put Qi Yunfu in the car. After picking her up, he ordered his men to set off immediately for the imperial capital. There was a hint of impatience between his sinister brows. He sat upright on the soft couch covered with gorgeous embroidery, watching Qi Yunfu, who was still unconscious, turning her ring non-stop, and whispered, "Soon, in a few days, everything will be mine..."

An Ling recalled the map of Zezhou and deduced the next stop of the convoy. A plan to complete the deal with Qi Zhankou slowly formed in her mind. She destroyed the letter Qi Zhankou gave her with some disgust, thinking: "If it wasn't for the safety of Miss Yun Fu, I would have taken the things and left directly. I wouldn't have done the job of a bodyguard."

The content of the letter, which has completely disappeared from the world, is roughly as follows:

"Respectfully addressed to Immortal An Lingan of Canglan Sword Sect: I appreciate your chivalry in supporting the country from foreign invaders and saving the people from disaster. I didn't want to trouble you, but looking around, I find that no one can take on this important responsibility. This is a matter of great importance, so please consider it."

"The high monk of Rulu Temple once sealed an evil demon in Xuankong Temple in Zezhou. After investigation, it was found that this evil demon was the same as the one causing trouble in Tianxing Mansion. The six major immortal sects have been searching for it for many years without success. Now, after many years, the seal has loosened. I also heard that the immortal has abilities that ordinary people cannot, so I specially present this news to you with both hands. This is one."

"Secondly, I have two sons and one daughter. My daughter is named Yunfu. Because of her outstanding talent and appearance, she was recruited into the palace to serve my emperor. However, Yunfu has only been interested in Huang Lao's teachings since she was young. She has a strong and unyielding character. She was also involved with the third son of the royal family, Xiuhong. My emperor sent her to Xuankong Temple on the cliff to reflect on her mistakes. Therefore, she is in a dilemma. Now the storm is about to come. I am under house arrest in Sifang City and it is difficult to escape. I only hope that my daughter is safe and happy. I hope that the immortal can protect my daughter's safety in his busy schedule. You can trust my daughter with your money bag."

"Tian Xingqi beheaded the enemy and bowed his head."

What was An Ling lacking the most now? Spiritual power? Natural treasures? Magical weapons? No, none of them. What she lacked the most was actually the fragment of the Heavenly Dao that contained mysterious power!

If Hu Ruo, the national master of Dayi, wants to rebuild the Heavenly Dao, apart from the solid other shore, what he lacks most now should be the fragments of Heavenly Dao scattered everywhere. He and the fragments come from the same source, and the power contained in the fragments is what he can't wait to absorb. Other immortal sects that rely on the Heavenly Dao for cultivation are also drooling over these Heavenly Dao fragments. On the surface, they are sealed, but in fact they are just using the fragments to cultivate and improve themselves. Therefore, An Ling, who stands on the opposite side of everyone, must get the Heavenly Dao fragments before them!

not to mention……

Sitting cross-legged in Lu Xiuhong's carriage, An Ling stroked the shattered stars that exuded a satisfied atmosphere. A new question arose in her mind: If Li Wanjian's illusion was real, and she had just traveled through time and arrived 20 years ago, why would Hu give Li Wanjian the shattered stars that were also made of fragments or other materials related to the way of heaven? Would a counselor who gathered all the wisdom in the world give weapons that could attack him to uncontrollable humans?

But An Ling clearly saw that after the shattered stars touched the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, the fragments were directly integrated into the shattered stars. An Ling weighed the weight and it seemed to be slightly different from the previous shattered stars. Could it be that this evil sword grew by "eating" other fragments?

An Ling had no way of knowing the answer to the question and could only bury it deep in her heart, hoping that it would be revealed at the right time.

"Really? Why didn't Asura stay for a while? He just ran away after a lot of attacks, not caring if I was okay or not. The world is so big, and he can possess mortals. I really don't know where I can find him."

……

The convoy stopped at the entrance of the inn. Lu Xiuhong waved his fan, looked at Qi Yunfu who had woken up, and said with a smile, "Did you sleep well?"

Qi Yunfu's face was pale, but her eyes were still clear and moving. She stared at Lu Xiuhong with hatred and said firmly: "I will never submit to anyone, no matter who it is!"

Lu Xiuhong was in the mood, and his body leaned forward slightly, full of oppression. He still had that dissolute appearance, but there was no warmth in his eyes. He said softly: "It seems that we are really a perfect match. No one can stop me from doing what I have decided."

The two of them don't look like childhood sweethearts at all. Instead, they are more like enemies who are at loggerheads with each other and refuse to give in.

"Sir, you can get off the car and have a rest now." The man in white robe knocked on the car wall and said to Lu Xiuhong as a matter of routine, and then immediately stepped away, acting as a very useful tool.

Lu Xiuhong smiled and said, "Come, I'll help you get out of the car."

"Get out!" Qi Yunfu shook off Lu Xiuhong's hand and jumped out of the car in a somewhat embarrassed manner. As soon as she got off the car, she felt the malicious gazes from Lu Xiuhong's accompanying guards. They had no respect for her at all. They laughed and teased Qi Yunfu with obscene words together with the people next to them, which made her feel at a loss as to what to do.

At this moment, a lazy female voice sounded in front, and she came to the rescue of Qi Yunfu: "Shut up, if anyone dares to disrespect my lady again, I don't mind chopping off your tongue and the third leg!"

"Who are you?"

"Heh, who am I?" An Ling sneered and kicked the man who made the noise in the chest, sending him flying more than ten meters. She pressed the bamboo hat on her head, raised her eyes slightly from under the hat, and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to know?"

Lu Xiuhong also got out of the car. He did not show any dissatisfaction or malice. Instead, he walked up to An Ling gracefully and said, "Not everyone is qualified to know the name of the heroine. You hit me well! You hit me brilliantly! I wonder if you were hurt?"

"Uh..." An Ling almost vomited. Why did this person speak so disgustingly? Although she was disgusted by Lu Xiuhong's actions, she did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she smiled and said, "Young Master, you are good at managing your subordinates. I really admire you. This time, I came here on the order of General Qi to protect the safety of the young lady during the trip."

Lu Xiuhong and An Ling looked at Qi Yunfu at the same time. Qi Yunfu was thoughtful. Upon hearing this, she did not immediately reject or doubt it. Instead, she smiled and thanked An Ling, saying, "Thank you so much for helping me out just now. Do you have any token of love with you?"

An Ling took out the purse from her clothes, handed it to Qi Yunfu for inspection, and added: "Please take a look."

Qi Yunfu stroked the pattern on the purse, or rather the sachet, in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears. She nodded incoherently, "Yes, yes, my father actually kept my past nonsense."

The pattern on the sachet was a blue-green pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. An Ling was originally very curious as to why a grown man like Qi Zhankou would use a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. After all, he and his wife were both old, and didn't look like the type to use such items. It turned out that the sachet belonged to the young lady of the Qi family.

Lu Xiuhong glanced at the calm An Ling, then frowned and stared at the mandarin duck sachet in Qi Yunfu's hand. He snatched it away and said with disgust: "Which adulterer did you embroider this for?"

An Ling silently held down the hilt of the Broken Star Sword and stood beside Qi Yunfu, while Qi Yunfu looked at him indifferently, thinking that Lu Xiuhong was ridiculous. She said to An Ling, "I'm tired."

"Okay, miss. Let's go in and rest first." An Ling replied.

When passing by Lu Xiuhong, An Ling felt the strong murderous intent from Lu Xiuhong, and the corners of her mouth hidden under her bamboo hat couldn't help but curl up slightly. As long as he dared to take action, don't blame her for being unsportsmanlike.
