Li Qingfeng, pretending to be weak and unconscious, was taken to the cave they had visited before by Murong Shu, who placed Li Qingfeng on the jade couch.

Stand by personally.

At this moment, Long Xuan, carrying the Red Flame Sword he had just obtained, immediately headed to the Thousand-foot Sword Cliff of the Ancient Sword Sect.

This so-called Thousand-foot Sword Cliff is where the two supreme elders of the Ancient Sword Sect are in seclusion.

The two great elders of the Ancient Sword Sect are extremely old and have profound cultivation. They are only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage.

But because his life span was coming to an end and his energy was running out, there was no hope of a breakthrough.

He could only sit at the edge of the thousand-foot sword, relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth accumulated under the sword edge for many years to nourish his body and delay the time of his demise.

Even so, these two supreme elders could feel that their end was approaching, and they were afraid that their physical bodies would completely disappear within ten years.

"Two elders, I have obtained the divine sword that our ancestor left on Hidden Sword Peak!"

On the thousand-foot sword cliff, Long Xuan came with a sword and saluted the two old figures sitting cross-legged under the rock wall.

The two old men, who looked like mummies, had been motionless, but now they opened their eyes and looked towards Long Xuan.

"The divine sword on Hidden Sword Peak?"

The two supreme elders were somewhat shocked when they heard this.

"Let me see."

Long Xuan immediately handed the Red Flame Sword to the two of them.

The two supreme elders narrowed their eyes, looked at the Red Flame Sword carefully, and then showed a look of surprise.

“It really is this sword!”

"That's right! That's right! This is the Red Flame Sword, one of the three great swords of the Hunyuan Dao Sect in the Northern Wasteland!"

"This sword is incredibly powerful. It once slew a powerful demon at the Nascent Soul stage!"

"The blade still bears traces of the blood of a former Nascent Soul Realm demon!"

The two supreme elders were so excited that they were trembling all over and even shed tears.

Seeing how excited the two supreme elders were, Long Xuan was a little worried that they might die on the spot.

Fortunately.

Although he was excited, he wouldn't die from excitement.

"Thank goodness, Heaven has allowed us both to witness the sect obtain this divine sword before our deaths."

"Even if we two die, we can rest in peace."

The two supreme elders were both very pleased and returned the Scarlet Flame Sword to Long Xuan.

"Master, this sword is extraordinary. Please comprehend it carefully and unleash its true power as soon as possible."

"I believe that our Ancient Sword Sect will be able to reach a higher level in the future under the leadership of the Sect Master!"

Long Xuan looked solemn, holding his sword and clasping his fists in salute.

"Rest assured, Elders. I, Long, will definitely live up to your trust and will not disappoint the ancestors of the Ancient Sword Sect!"

"With this sword in hand, my Ancient Sword Sect will surely return to its peak!"

......

Li Qingfeng pretended to be unconscious for a while, and when he thought it was about time, he woke up slowly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his godmother Murong Shu sitting cross-legged beside him.

The moment Li Qingfeng opened his eyes, Murong Shu also sensed it and immediately looked towards Li Qingfeng.

"You're awake now. How do you feel? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Murong Shu's eyes softened, completely changing from her usual cold and arrogant look, and she asked with great concern.

"Thank you for your concern, stepmother. I'm fine now."

Li Qingfeng shook his head.

Murong Shu walked closer and gently stroked Li Qingfeng's shoulder.

"Thank you very much for risking such danger to enter the Hidden Sword Peak and retrieve the magic sword!"

"Why should I thank you, foster mother? It is Qingfeng's great honor to be able to help foster mother and Sect Master Long."

Li Qingfeng said quickly, looking very sincere.

Murong Shu was moved when she heard this.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Qingfeng became softer.

What a good boy.

He is worthy of being Gu Hanshan’s eldest disciple. He is even more outstanding than when Gu Hanshan was young.

He was so sincere to me, not only helping me to heal the sword energy that had entered my marrow, but also risking his own life to retrieve the treasure of the Ancient Sword Sect.

It's so touching!

It’s a pity that he is only my, Murong Shu’s, adopted son. If he were really my biological son…how great that would be.

"Qingfeng, I see that you have made some breakthroughs in your cultivation, but what did you gain from that Cangjian Peak?"

Murong Shu suddenly asked.

Before, when Li Qingfeng came out with a sword and fainted in Murong Shu's chest, Murong Shu realized that Li Qingfeng's cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

After all, she was a Nascent Soul master, so Li Qingfeng’s breakthrough in cultivation could not be hidden from her.

"I dare not hide it from my stepmother. When I found the divine sword on the Hidden Sword Peak, I happened to encounter an explosion of sword energy."

"Because I couldn't withstand the sword energy, I quickly sat cross-legged and concentrated my energy. I didn't expect that the sword energy could be refined into my body, allowing me to break through."

"That's why I was able to take advantage of a split second of opportunity to get close to the sword and take it away."

Hearing this, Murong Shu also nodded.

"I see. It seems this is your chance."

In Murong Shu's opinion, Li Qingfeng was able to break through by absorbing a wisp of sword energy. With the power of the Red Flame Sword in his body, he was able to get close to the Red Flame Sword and bring it out.

Otherwise, Li Qingfeng would not be able to bring out the Red Flame Sword at all, and might even die on the Cangjian Peak.

Soon, Long Xuan also came to the cave. Seeing that Li Qingfeng had woken up, he immediately sat in front of Li Qingfeng.

He grabbed Li Qingfeng's hands and looked at Li Qingfeng with burning eyes.

Li Qingfeng was so frightened by the sight.

I rely on!

What does this "sister" want to do?

Just because I brought the Red Flame Sword out, you won't be willing to marry me, right?

I, Old Li, can’t stand this.

If it was my stepmother, it would be fine.

"Brother, although you are my wife's adopted son, we have our own ways."

"From now on, you will be my, Long Xuan's, younger brother. We can be friends on an equal footing."

"You are also the great benefactor of our Ancient Sword Sect!"

Wow, this opening completely confused Li Qingfeng and Murong Shu.

This directly messes up the generational structure.

Li Qingfeng is Murong Shu's adopted son, Murong Shu and Long Xuan are Taoist companions, and now Long Xuan calls Li Qingfeng "brother".

Good guy!

My adopted son is my husband’s younger brother?

My brother's wife is also my godmother?

too messy!

"This favor must be greatly rewarded."

As he spoke, Long Xuan took out a storage bag.

He stuffed it into Li Qingfeng's hands without giving him any room to refuse.

"Brother, you have helped the Ancient Sword Sect so much, please accept these things!"

Li Qingfeng smiled bitterly.

"Master Long, you..."

"No need to say more. If you don't accept it, your stepmother will not forgive me."

Murong Shu beside her also smiled.

"Qingfeng, just accept it."

Li Qingfeng just declined slightly, but he had to accept it, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.

"Thank you, Brother Long and stepmother."

Li Qingfeng immediately took the storage bag.

Originally, Li Qingfeng planned to stay in the Ancient Sword Sect for two more days to get closer to his adoptive mother Murong Shu.

But I didn't expect that there would be a jade slip message that day.

"Return to the palace immediately!"

"Someone from Xuanyang Dao Sect is coming!"
