"Come with me."
Ximen Yu withdrew his gaze.
The crowd followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, we reached the summit.
Baoqin quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"The dragon leaders have returned."
He bowed his head and reported, holding his zither.
"Summon them."
Ximen Yu gave the instructions in a calm tone.
Baoqin bowed and withdrew.
The group entered the hall.
Dugu Qiubai, Li Bai, and other dragon heads arrived one after another.
Dugu Jian, Fengyun Duanlang, and others followed closely behind and entered the hall.
.......
The dragon leaders bowed in unison: "Greetings, Great Dragon Leader."
The respectful demeanor of Li Bai and others came into view.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Jian and Fengyun Duanlang also followed suit and bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Great Dragon Head!"
Ximen Yu gently raised his hand in greeting.
His gaze swept over Feng Yun and Duan Lang, finally settling on Dugu Jian.
A hint of surprise flashed across her calm, watery eyes.
"Have you mastered the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
Only Dugu Qiubai remained calm.
Several gazes instantly focused on Dugu Jian.
"The Great Dragon Head possesses discerning eyes!"
"This sudden enlightenment is entirely thanks to the Great Dragon Head."
"Without the guidance of the Great Dragon Head's supreme sword manual, the mysteries of Sword Twenty-Three would probably still be difficult to fathom."
Dugu Jian nodded in response.
A look of emotion appeared between his brows.
Chapter 96 Sword Manual
As they spoke, the respect in their eyes deepened.
Who could have predicted—
He gained enlightenment after hearing the sword manual only once.
Such an encounter is truly unbelievable!
Unless you experience it yourself.
Even Dugu Jian himself found it hard to believe.
His swordsmanship skills have reached the pinnacle of his time.
They are far superior to mere children who have just begun to explore martial arts!
Every step forward is like rowing against the current!
Underground in this place—
He was able to decipher the Twenty-Three Swords Technique, which he had sought for many years without success.
The mystery lies within—
This is absolutely astonishing!
'The Supreme Sword Manual?'
Ximen Yu looked slightly taken aback.
He then seemed to realize something.
His gaze swept meaningfully over the listless Li Bai.
He shook his head without making a sound.
"With your natural talent and comprehension, mastering Sword Twenty-Three would have been a natural progression."
Although this statement was made—
Everyone present knew perfectly well what was going on.
All of these are regarded as a self-deprecating remark by the head of the dragon.
The words "early or late" are the most intriguing.
Especially since everyone here possesses profound cultivation—
They knew even more that such opportunities were rare and precious.
If there is no opportunity—
Even a lifetime of effort may not be enough to break through these constraints!
No one took this statement seriously.
Dugu Jianxin understood, and smiled without saying a word.
Bao Qin, carrying a teacup, entered slowly, bowed, and reported, "Master, Sun Xiaohong is outside requesting an audience."
Ximen Yu's gaze swept over Feng Yun Duanlang and Luo Xian, his brow furrowing slightly before quickly relaxing: "Let her in."
"Yes, sir." Baoqin bowed and withdrew.
A moment later, Sun Xiaohong stepped lightly into the hall. She looked around at everyone with slight surprise, then bowed respectfully: "Xiaohong greets the Great Dragon Head."
"What is it?" Ximen Yu asked directly, his voice flat and emotionless.
Sun Xiaohong remained calm, her lips slightly parted: "The Hengshan Sect of the Ming Dynasty presented the Youth-Preserving Pill to the imperial court, and the Ming Emperor specially ordered his subordinates to forward it to the Emperor."
She had never been one for vanity, and although the Youth-Preserving Pill was a treasure of the Nine Provinces, she regarded it as nothing special. The Azure Dragon Society possessed countless treasures, but this item was merely commonplace to her.
"You may keep it." Ximen Yu smiled calmly, knowing this was a gesture of goodwill from the Prince of Nan. He changed the subject: "You've come at the right time. Take Fengyun Duanlang and Luo Xian to familiarize themselves with the affairs of the association."
Sun Xiaohong paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over the three eager-to-try figures, Fengyun and Duanlang, before bowing her head and replying, "I will obey the Great Dragon Head's command."
After she led the group away, Li Bai, who had initially been listless, suddenly beamed: "Dragon Head, did you specifically ask us to stay? Is there something important to discuss?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Qiubai and the others all stared intently at Ximen Yu.
"The reason I have gathered you all here today is for those two mysterious places!"
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances."
"The Temple of War is about to appear."
"This secret realm was created by Guang Chengzi and was specially built for the Yellow Emperor."
"Furthermore, there is another Water Moon Grotto within the territory of the Great Han."
"These are all rare and sacred places for cultivation."
"You may travel together and take it into your possession."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on them.
Ximen Yu told him frankly.
He nodded slightly, his tone calm and unhurried.
Do we need to go in a group?
Everyone was initially surprised.
His expression then changed slightly.
Everyone present was a top-tier expert whose reputation resounded throughout the land!
Even among the three great dynasties.
He is also a top-tier expert!
Not to mention that Indra, who is in the Shattered Realm, is also in charge.
Such a lineup still needs to join forces.
Everyone's interest was completely piqued.
"A demonic dragon dwells within the Temple of War, its strength being at least at the Supreme Mythical Realm."
"His physique is extremely strong."
"He is no ordinary person who can defeat him."
"And that Water Moon Cave Heaven."
"Although there is no demonic dragon, it contains the ultimate dragon transformation technique, the Dragon God Art."
"Furthermore, the shattered-level supreme treasure, the Spirit Mirror."
"They should not be underestimated either."
He noticed the confusion among the crowd.
Ximen Yu explained calmly.
Even in the original work.
The demonic dragon of the War God Temple and the Dragon God Technique and Spirit Mirror of the Water Moon Cave are all astonishing existences.
Moreover, we are now in a world of martial arts.
Its danger level is probably even greater than before.
This naturally requires careful consideration.
Indra murmured softly.
His breathing quickened involuntarily.
My previously calm mind suddenly became active.
Without hesitation, he immediately stepped forward.
"My lord, I am willing to go to the Temple of the God of War!"
Seeing that Indra made such a swift statement.
Li Bai and others all turned their heads in surprise.
Their brows furrowed in unison.
Ximen Yu gave him a meaningful look.
He agreed in a nonchalant tone.
A faint hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
He had long been able to see through Indra's thoughts.
But they didn't care at all.
Regardless of whether the demonic dragon possesses dragon essence.
Even if he truly possessed the Dragon Essence, he wouldn't dare to possess it privately.
