I can gather experience beads

"Senior, is it possible for me to join the Pure World?" Shang Yueling took the initiative to ask.

Cao Rui thought for a moment.

Finally, he took out the Purification Token and handed it to Shang Yueling.

"I need to see your value to calm the doubts of the monks in the Blue Sky Realm."

“Otherwise, I will take back this token at any time.”

Shang Yueling bowed to Cao Rui and said, "Please rest assured, my Lord."

"I will give you a satisfactory answer."

At this moment, another beam of light suddenly came rushing from the horizon.

"Grand Elder! What happened? Huh? Who is this man? Is he an enemy?" The escape light landed behind Shang Yueling.

The light dissipated, and a figure appeared inside. It was a middle-aged male cultivator, who was looking at Cao Rui with a rather hostile look.

Shang Yueling's beautiful eyes moved slightly, remembering that Cao Rui had once told her not to publicize the existence of the Pure World.

He immediately said, "This is my friend, not my enemy. There is nothing to do here. You can leave now."

"Grand Elder, please be careful, otherwise I will stay with you..." The male monk seemed reluctant to leave.

"Go away!" Shang Yueling scolded coquettishly.

The middle-aged male monk stared at Cao Rui very vigilantly for several times, and finally bowed and retreated.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lord Tian." Shang Yueling said.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "Let's get ready for the next meeting."

Cao Rui sneered, formed seals with his hands, and quickly activated the puppet's invisible body.

His figure suddenly became blurred, and then disappeared from Shang Yueling's sight.

Although Shang Yueling could sense Cao Rui's presence with her spiritual sense, her eyes could not capture any trace of him.

The next moment, Cao Rui's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot as if he had teleported.

Then, he performed several flash moves in succession at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye he was already far away from Shang Yueling.

In Shang Yueling's spiritual sense, Cao Rui's breath became weaker and weaker, and soon disappeared completely.

"What a terrifying method! It's totally unlike something a human cultivator can possess." Shang Yueling exclaimed inwardly.

"No, this should be an incarnation of the Heavenly Lord." Shang Yueling suddenly thought of it.

Under the moonlight, Shang Yueling, dressed in red, stood there quietly, with a thoughtful look on her face.

......

"Although Shang Yueling is extremely cunning, at least she showed a sufficient attitude."

On the other side, Cao Rui rushed to where his original body was, put away his energy clone, and thought secretly in his heart.

Shang Yueling explained in detail the origin of the Dark Moon Demon Sect, saying that the Dark Moon Demon Sect was evolved out of the Dark Moon Sect out of necessity. This was undoubtedly making her position clear to Cao Rui.

With her intelligence and talent, she will surely perform well against the other members in the upcoming 'Purification' gathering.

"However, the situation in Ningzhou is somewhat special, and Shang Yueling needs further observation and testing. Therefore, it is not advisable to set up a teleportation base directly next to Shang Yueling. Even if it is to be set up, some necessary measures must be taken to restrict the teleportation base in the early stage."

"This can prevent the demon cultivators in this state from taking the opportunity to go to Shengzhou or Yunzhou under unexpected circumstances, thus causing unnecessary trouble."

Cao Rui drove the light and quickly arrived at the lake. Through the teleportation point, he successfully crossed the space and came to Xiazhou.

"I don't know how the Lingxiao Sword Ancestor is doing. I guess the negotiations in Xiazhou won't go too smoothly."

Cao Rui expanded his spiritual sense, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then chose a direction to continue on his way.

......

However, after Lingxiao Sword Ancestor arrived in Xiazhou, his powerful spiritual sense at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage quickly spread out like a tide, covering a large area.

Soon, he spotted several monks flying.

Lingxiao Sword Ancestor summoned his escape light and quickly caught up with these foundation-building cultivators.

Faced with the Nascent Soul cultivators, these Foundation Establishment cultivators naturally answered every question.

Through communication and questioning with these monks, he gained a preliminary understanding of the situation in Xiazhou.

Xiazhou has a vast territory and is home to more than four million cultivators, including various independent cultivators, practitioners from small forces, and large sects.

In this vast land, there are five large immortal cultivation sects: Qingyun Sword Sect, Yanyang Sect, Shenmu Sect, Piaomiao Sect and Black Wind Valley.

These sects all have profound heritage and powerful strength, and each of them has at least one Nascent Soul cultivator in charge.

Among these five major immortal cultivation sects, the Qingyun Sword Sect has become the leader in Xiazhou by virtue of its outstanding sword cultivation heritage and powerful sect foundation.

The leader of the Qingyun Sword Sect, Gu Qingfeng, is a swordsman in the late Nascent Soul stage. His strength is well-known throughout Xiazhou and even the entire Qingqiong Realm.

After careful consideration, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor finally decided to go directly to Qingyun Sword Sect to communicate with Gu Qingfeng face to face.

As cultivators who also practiced swordsmanship, they might have more common topics, and Lingxiao Sword Ancestor believed that Gu Qingfeng would be able to understand the current predicament facing the Qingqiong Realm.

Just do it.

After Sword Ancestor Lingxiao inquired about the location of Qingyun Sword Sect, he fled towards it.

Soon, Sword Ancestor Lingxiao arrived at the Qingyun Sword Sect.

He did not deliberately hide his aura, but instead released his powerful aura of the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage without reservation.

This terrifying pressure was like a heavy mountain pressing on people's hearts, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Therefore, when he just appeared outside Qingyun Sword Sect, the mountain protection formation was immediately activated, and the monks in the sect were on high alert, watching this uninvited guest vigilantly.

Sword Ancestor Lingxiao stood in the air above the Qingyun Sword Sect's mountain protection formation. He had an upright posture, his hands behind his back, and a calm and composed expression.

His eyes were like two sharp swords, revealing an endless fierce aura.

Then, he gathered his magical power, and his voice resounded throughout the Qingyun Sword Sect like a huge bell: "I am Lingxiao Sword Ancestor. I have no ill intentions in coming here this time, so you don't need to be nervous. I just want to meet your sect's leader, Gu Qingfeng, to discuss something."

As his voice fell, a buzzing sound was heard. Then, a flash of light passed by, and Gu Qingfeng's figure instantly appeared dozens of meters in front of Lingxiao Sword Ancestor.

This distance is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous distance for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, Gu Qingfeng dared to get so close, and there was naturally a reason for this - this was the location of his sect, and he had enough confidence and self-confidence to face any challenge.

Gu Qingfeng is eight feet tall, has a stern face, and looks like a young man. His whole temperament is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Lingxiao Sword Master looked at this man and found that he resembled himself when he was young.

"I'm Lingxiao Sword Master and the leader of the Hongzhou Demon-Slaying Alliance." Lingxiao Sword Master bowed slightly and introduced himself.

Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't seem too surprised.

He seemed to have no intention of inviting Lingxiao Sword Ancestor into the Qingyun Sword Sect's mountain gate.

"You are Lingxiao Sword Ancestor. You are very powerful. No wonder you can gather so many cultivators to serve you." Gu Qingfeng looked at Lingxiao Sword Ancestor. As a fellow swordsman, the fatal pressure he felt from Lingxiao Sword Ancestor was more obvious.

Lingxiao Sword Master was slightly surprised. This was his first time in Xiazhou, and this person seemed to know him?

"Don't be surprised. My sect has already sent monks to Xiazhou to investigate the situation." Gu Qingfeng said.

It turned out that there had long been rumors of a demon invasion in Xiazhou's cultivation world.

To this end, the Qingyun Sword Sect found a special teleportation array and sent monks to secretly teleport there to gather intelligence.

Just like Cao Rui and Lingjian Sect in Yunzhou back then.

Although they knew that the demons were invading and could reach Hongzhou, they chose to hide their identities and not reveal themselves.

It is obvious that he is planning to just sit back and watch.

"Since you already know about the demon clan, why are you unwilling to contribute?" Lingxiao Sword Master was also a straightforward person and asked directly.

Gu Qingfeng's expression did not change. He sighed softly and said firmly, "I don't think it's necessary for our Xiazhou monks to take action for the time being."

"Master Gu, when do you think it will be the turn for your Xiazhou cultivators to take action?" Lingxiao Sword Master frowned and asked.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head and looked at Lingxiao Sword Ancestor with a firm look: "If you are here to persuade Qingyun Sword Sect to go to Hongzhou, then you may be disappointed."

He paused, and continued, "Unless the demons invade Xiazhou, my Qingyun Sword Sect will never leave the state to fight against the demons."

Ling Xiao Jian Zu shook his head slightly, with a helpless look on his face: "If my Demon Slayer Alliance loses, do you know what will happen to Xiazhou?"

Gu Qingfeng shook his head: "Aren't you guys defeated yet?"

"You are such a fool." Lingxiao Sword Ancestor laughed in anger.
