After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

This time, they didn't immediately start using talismans and thunder spirit beads. They had already mastered the Shangqing Sword Technique to the highest level, the ninth level, and had also transcended tribulation. The two of them wanted to test their true strength.

As it turned out, their strength was not bad. Although their cultivation was not yet stable, with the blessing of their natal magic treasure, the Mandarin Duck Sword, and the Upper Technique Sword Art, the two of them actually gained a slight advantage against a Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

Xu Shuyi was facing off against Ancestor Mu Chen. Although it had taken her longer to advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage than her opponent, Xu Shuyi was not flustered at all.

He has now achieved perfect harmony between man and sword, and each attack is unpredictable, leaving Ancestor Mu Chen completely baffled.

Often, it's only after being struck by a sword that one realizes the opponent has already dodged far away, leaving no time for retaliation.

The more Ancestor Mu Chen fought, the more alarmed he became. Wasn't this kid only at the late stage of the Void Realm? How could he be more powerful than him, a Tribulation Transcending cultivator? Something was wrong.

"You brat, did you use some kind of method to conceal your cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuyi no longer hid it, but laughed and readily admitted, "Haha, you figured it out?"

Ancestor Mu Chen was furious. "You Xu family members are too cunning. How could you hide your cultivation level? Shameless, utterly shameless!"

"Aren't you also at the Tribulation Transcending stage? Our cultivation levels are comparable, so what kind of treachery is this?"

"Could it be that you're afraid to face fellow cultivators who have transcended tribulation, and only want to fight those with lower cultivation levels? Tsk tsk~ Isn't that a bit too much?"

Seeing Xu Shuyi's disdainful attitude, Ancestor Mu Chen became even angrier.

You brat, is that what you meant? You're really infuriating!

Seeing that her opponent was so angry that his breathing was unstable, Xu Shuyi took the opportunity to launch an attack, each strike aimed directly at his opponent's dantian.

The brothers Xu Shunuo and Xu Shuyang faced more than ten people at once, yet they did it with even less difficulty than their parents and older brother.

Ancestor Mu Chen and his senior brother took more than a dozen disciples out this time to train them. The most powerful of these disciples was only at the early stage of the Integration Realm.

In less than half an hour, the two brothers had rendered all of the dozen or so members of the Holy Sword Sect powerless and unconscious on the ground.

As for how to handle it later, it depends on their parents' wishes.

The old ancestor Mu Yang, who was fighting against Xu Qingman and her husband, was already in a tough situation. When he saw his grandson lying on the ground injured and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he panicked and was seized by Yu Jinchen to deliver a heavy blow.

Seeing her husband succeed, Xu Qingman quickly followed up with a sword strike, and the old ancestor Muyang was seriously injured by the couple in an instant.

Just as the couple was preparing to kill him, they saw the Xuanzhen Ancestor of the Nine Yang Sect rush over.

"Stop! Fellow Daoists, stay here. If there's any misunderstanding between you, just clear it up. There's no need to take lives."

Seeing this troublemaker arrive, Xu Qingman and her husband had no choice but to regretfully give up.

The Xuanzhen Ancestor had been there for quite some time, and since he didn't come out, Xu Qingman and the others pretended not to know.

But now that they've come out and are pleading for the other party, they can't really take action again out of respect for Xu Qinghe.

Besides, this is not just about Elder Xuan.

Seeing that her parents had stopped, Xu Shuyi also stopped. However, Ancestor Mu Chen was also seriously injured by him and would probably need several months to recover.

Seeing that they were saved, the Mu Chen Elder Brothers revived their disciples and prepared to leave with them.

Before leaving, Ancestor Mu Chen gave Xu Qingman and her husband a sinister look.

"The Holy Sword Sect will remember what the Xu family did today. We hope you will not fall into the hands of the Holy Sword Sect in the future."

As soon as he said this, Xu Shuyi swung her sword, and the sharp sword energy knocked him to the ground.

"Ancestor"

Seeing that Ancestor Mu Chen had vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, a disciple of the Holy Sword Sect quickly gave him a healing pill.

After a long while, Patriarch Mu Chen finally got up from the ground. "Hmm, the Xu family junior is really rude. Does he want to take my life?"

Seeing that the surrounding cultivators were looking at Xu Shuyi with disapproving eyes, Xu Qingman snorted and said, "My son's cultivation is equal to yours. How dare you, a defeated opponent, call him a junior?"

My Xu family rarely travels outside, and we had no idea that the Holy Sword Sect was a den of bandits. They robbed others and, instead of being beaten to death, showed no remorse, even threatening my Xu family.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen's sake, do you think the Xu family would actually be afraid of your Holy Sword Sect?"

The Holy Sword Sect is the only one of the five major sects without any Mahayana cultivators, so Xu Qingman wasn't exaggerating when she said she wasn't afraid of them.

Upon hearing that Elder Mu Chen and his group had been taught a lesson after their robbery attempt failed, those who had originally intended to speak shut their mouths.

In the cultivation world, it's common to fight for resources, but usually it's high-level cultivators fighting for low-level cultivators. They've never seen anyone like the Holy Sword Sect, who went so far as to fight for those stronger than themselves.

If you're foolish enough to provoke a strong person, you can only accept your bad luck if you suffer a loss.

Just like what Patriarch Xu said, if it weren't for Ancestor Xuanzhen, even if these dozen or so people from the Holy Sword Sect were to die, no one could be blamed.

Seeing the people from the Holy Sword Sect slink away, Ancestor Xuanzhen cursed inwardly.

"Fool, you're both stupid and useless. You can't even beat a few people who have just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage."

In the mind of Ancestor Xuanzhen, how powerful could Xu Shuyi, who had only advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage a few years ago, be? It must be that old man Mu Chen was too cowardly, unable to even defeat a young man.

Seeing that both sides had left, the cultivators who knew they wouldn't gain any advantage also left one after another.

………………

Seeing his parents walk straight out, Xu Shuyang asked in confusion, "Mom, why are we leaving here? There are still many good things inside."

Xu Shunu said, "Have you forgotten that we've made enemies with the Holy Sword Sect? What if they take this opportunity to come after the Xu Family Manor?"

Xu Shuyang said incredulously, "We just spared their lives, how dare they?"

Xu Shuyi smiled faintly and said, "What is there to be afraid of? Judging from the actions of that old man Mu Chen, the Holy Sword Sect is definitely not a place where reason prevails."

You're probably going to think we shouldn't have let them go, right?

Seeing her younger brother nod, Xu Shuyi continued, "There were people from all the major sects just now. If we ignored their advice and went straight for the kill, they would definitely think that the Xu family was acting too arrogantly."

Our sudden rise to power has already attracted attention. If we act too ostentatiously, and someone secretly stirs things up, these people will definitely join forces to deal with us.

Xu Shunu said, "Big brother, are you talking about the Xuanzhen Ancestor of the Nine Yang Sect? This person is definitely not a good person. He is cunning and treacherous. Our uncle really made a mistake in marrying him."

Seeing her son's words getting increasingly outrageous, Yu Jinchen gently scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about, brat? It's not your aunt's fault what kind of people the Ding family are. Your aunt is actually a good person."

In fact, Xu Qingman and her husband did not blame Xu Qinghe at all. Back then, they sent him to the Nine Yang Sect because their own strength was insufficient.

After all these years of struggling alone in the sect, he finally found a girl he liked and they formed a happy family. All we can do is offer our blessings.
