The Enforcement Hall, split in half by the "short-tempered" Little Black with a single strike, was quickly restored by the Enforcement Elder and others using great divine powers. However, the restored Enforcement Hall lacked the historical weight it once had. After all, the Enforcement Hall had accumulated over a million years of history. The restored hall was merely brand new, naturally lacking that historical gravitas.
At this moment, the Enforcement Elder and Cheng Fei sat facing each other.
"I didn't expect that Lu Chengfeng has already become a Saint," the Enforcement Elder said.
"Huh?" Cheng Fei was surprised. He said, "Her cultivation has only been a little over a thousand years!"
The Enforcement Elder nodded, his expression grave. He said, "For a million years, the most outstanding genius of our Heavenly Profound Saber Sect has been none other than the Sect Master's chief disciple, Yu Hua, who became a Saint after cultivating for one thousand three hundred years. Now, his skills are profound and not weaker than other Saber Lords."
"So, Lu Chengfeng's talent is even stronger than Yu Hua's? What can we do?" Cheng Fei said with some worry.
The Enforcement Elder was silent.
Just then, a stream of light landed in front of the Enforcement Elder, a message transmission.
The Enforcement Elder lightly tapped the message transmission. After receiving the message, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "There is now an opportunity to nip her in the bud."
The Enforcement Elder transmitted his plan to Cheng Fei.
"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei felt a chill run down his spine. He said, "If the Sect Master finds out about this, we will be doomed."
"Don't worry, the Sect Master has once again entered seclusion to seek the Immortal Dao. Moreover, if you and I don't say anything, who will know?" The Enforcement Elder said with a smile.
"Let me think, let me think," Cheng Fei said.
Seeing the hesitation on Cheng Fei's face, the Enforcement Elder said, "This opportunity is once in a lifetime. If we miss this opportunity and give her time to grow, considering our attitude towards the Leaving Grief Peak, do you think she will let us off?"
But Cheng Fei still hesitated. The plan the Enforcement Elder spoke of was simply too insane.
Seeing that Cheng Fei still didn't agree, the Enforcement Elder's expression darkened, and he said, "If you don't think for yourself, you should also think about Cheng Hou, that child, right?"
Cheng Fei's expression changed. He stared at the Enforcement Elder with wide eyes, his eyes filled with doubt and shock.
The Enforcement Elder smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, I have no malice. I just want to say that with Lu Chengfeng's attitude towards us, do you think she will let Cheng Hou off in the future?"
Cheng Fei's heart sank. He closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "I will follow the Enforcement Elder's instructions in this matter!"
"Haha! That's right. Now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Don't worry, that kid Cheng Hou has good talent. I have no sons or daughters under my knees, nor do I have an heir. I can let Cheng Hou become my successor and take charge of the Enforcement Hall in the future. How about that?"
The Enforcement Elder laughed and threw out another fatal temptation.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the expression on Cheng Fei's face changed from cloudy to clear. The position of Enforcement Elder holds a pivotal status in the sect. Don't be fooled by how humble he seemed in front of Lu Chengfeng just now. That's because Lu Chengfeng is the Peak Master of the Leaving Grief Peak, and among the Heavenly Profound Saber Sect, only eighteen Peak Masters, plus the Sect Master, have a higher status than the Enforcement Elder.
This was indeed a fatal temptation for Cheng Fei.
"Is this true?" Cheng Fei asked.
"It's true!" the Enforcement Elder said.
Cheng Fei nodded. He wasn't afraid that the Enforcement Elder would go back on his word. Just as the Enforcement Elder had said, they were now grasshoppers on the same rope. If the Enforcement Elder were to go back on his word, then he would have to consider whether he would be willing to perish together with him for Cheng Hou's sake.
Since he was able to give the Saint Origin Pill to Cheng Hou, it was clear how important Cheng Hou was in his heart.
...
"Huaiyu, the Silent Land you are going to this time is a battlefield left over from the ancient era. Because there were so many living beings that died, even after countless years, the resentment there is extremely deep. The boundless resentment has given birth to endless vengeful spirits. These vengeful spirits often harass the surrounding mortal countries, so our Heavenly Profound Saber Sect often sends people to the Silent Land to clear the vengeful spirits."
On the back of the Rift Sky Flying Eagle, Lu Chengfeng was unaware that the Enforcement Elder and Cheng Fei had already colluded. She was currently introducing the situation of the mission destination to Gu Huaiyu.
Not long ago, she had taken Gu Huaiyu to the mission hall, and Gu Huaiyu had quickly received a mission called "Cleaning the Vengeful Spirits of the Silent Land." The mission content was to kill ten thousand Awakening Realm vengeful spirits, one thousand Transcendent Realm vengeful spirits, one hundred Soul Convergence Realm vengeful spirits, ten Void Breaking Realm vengeful spirits, and one Life and Death Realm vengeful spirit.
For other disciples who had just broken through to the Life and Death Realm, this mission was undoubtedly the most difficult individual mission. It required clearing so many vengeful spirits, and the number of battles was high. The more battles there were, the greater the chance of unforeseen events. Therefore, even the mission hall marked that this mission was best taken in a team or by someone above the seventh level of the Life and Death Realm.
But for Gu Huaiyu, this mission was the most suitable. She was even sharpening her sword in anticipation.
Lu Chengfeng looked at Gu Huaiyu's excited expression and said, "You girl, you have such a strong killing intent. No man will like you in the future."
"Hmph, with no man in my heart, drawing my sword is naturally divine!" Gu Huaiyu hummed and drew Little Black with a "shing." The dark black blade appeared even more profound under the sunlight.
Lu Chengfeng shook her head. She didn't know where she had heard this sentence from, but it was definitely different from what she was thinking in her heart. She just thought it was cool now, so she said it. Lu Chengfeng didn't dwell on this issue, but said, "Huaiyu, do you know the grade of this sword?"
Lu Chengfeng had always been curious about what level of divine weapon Little Black was. Just because Yu Shui wanted to put it into her storage ring, it had thrown a tantrum and split the Enforcement Hall. The Enforcement Hall had stood for millions of years, and this was the first time it had been split.
Gu Huaiyu shook her head and said, "I don't know. Master said that it was refined from a strand of green silk from his clothes. I guess it's not a good product, but it's very easy to use."
Little Black: You are not a good product. I am the Great Dao of the Saber, the Great Dao of the Saber pursued by countless saber cultivators.
But unfortunately, Little Black couldn't speak, otherwise it would definitely retort to Gu Huaiyu.
"Is that so!"
Lu Chengfeng nodded. Hearing that it was casually refined by her teacher, she lost interest in Little Black. Maybe her teacher would send Huaiyu a better weapon later.
Speaking of weapons, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but think of her Phoenix Cry Saber. Three years had passed, and she still hadn't let go of the Phoenix Cry Saber. Moreover, she also wanted to find rare weapon refining materials to reforge a Phoenix Cry Saber.
"I hope there will be some gains this time!" Lu Chengfeng said.
Gu Huaiyu also knew about Lu Chengfeng's Phoenix Cry Saber. She comforted her, "Don't worry, Master often praises me for having good luck. Maybe we'll find a treasure later."
"Gah~"
Just as Gu Huaiyu's voice fell, the Rift Sky Flying Eagle they were riding on suddenly cried out, and then stopped abruptly in the air, as if something was hidden in the clouds ahead.
Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu looked forward in confusion. Suddenly, a hint of doubt, surprise, and joy flashed in their eyes.
They saw a saber hanging upside down in front of them. The shape of the saber was the same as Lu Chengfeng's Phoenix Cry Saber, except that the handle was different. The handle could be clearly seen to be refined from dragon horns.
"Buzz!"
A saber cry was heard in the void.
"This is... the Phoenix Cry Saber!?" Lu Chengfeng looked at it in surprise.
"Swish!"
Hearing Lu Chengfeng's voice, the brand-new Phoenix Cry Saber seemed to have heard its master's call, and suddenly came to Lu Chengfeng. Lu Chengfeng could even feel the joy revealed by the Phoenix Cry Saber.
"What's going on? Weren't you already..." Lu Chengfeng was a little at a loss. The body and the sword spirit of the Phoenix Cry Saber had fallen because they couldn't withstand the power of time. How could it appear here?
"Could it be... Master (Teacher)?"
The two women looked at each other.
"Isn't it your teacher?"
Gu Changsheng, holding a wine pot, landed in front of them with a smile.
