Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1173: Great Eagle Gate

The crowd’s gaze involuntarily moved upward, to the top of the white jade pillar, landing on the masked swordsman in white.

If not for this person’s appearance, today the Qing Mountain Sword Sect might not have escaped disaster.

But who exactly is this masked swordsman? Why would he extend a helping hand to the Qing Mountain Sword Sect at this crucial moment?

Whoosh!

At this moment, the masked swordsman’s figure suddenly flew down from the top of the white jade pillar, landing in front of the two.

"Thank you, senior, for helping to save our Qing Mountain Sword Sect!"

Luo Xian’er and Shen Qianlang exchanged a glance, then bowed to the masked swordsman. Indeed, his actions today saved their Qing Mountain Sword Sect from the brink of death, showing them great kindness.

Without immediately responding to them, the masked swordsman raised his hand and removed the mask, revealing a young and delicate face.

Upon seeing the true face of the masked swordsman, Luo Xian’er and Shen Qianlang were also stunned, because this face was one they were very familiar with.

"I arrived too late, I’m sorry."

Ling Chen’s face showed a hint of apology, he said softly.

"It’s really you, Ling Chen."

At a previous moment, Luo Xian’er suspected the masked swordsman was Ling Chen, but she didn’t dare to be sure. Unexpectedly, her guess was correct.

"Hahaha...Ling Chen, I should have known it was you."

Shen Qianlang burst into laughter, patting Ling Chen on the shoulder, "Who else but you, Ling Chen, would rush to save us at this time? Who else but you, Ling Chen, could have such great ability."

"I just recently heard news of you, luckily I made it in time."

Ling Chen nodded, then looked at Luo Xian’er beside him, "You’ve suffered."

"Suffering and hardship are inevitable. To restore the Sect, any suffering is worth it. But my junior sister and I lack strength. If you, Brother Ling Chen, hadn’t arrived timely this time, the Qing Mountain Sword Sect would be gone, and my junior sister and I might have fallen into Teng Sha’s hands."

Shen Qianlang sighed.

"It’s my negligence,"

Ling Chen shook his head, his eyes suddenly gleamed, "The reason Great Eagle Gate targets you so much is all instigated by the Tang Sect."

"As expected, it’s the Tang Sect."

Yet Luo Xian’er and Shen Qianlang weren’t too surprised. They had long suspected that the Tang Sect was involved. Otherwise, why would Great Eagle Gate, who has no enmity with them, press so hard? How would Great Eagle Gate know they possess the Green Lotus Sword Song?

Moreover, they originally had the help of Jingzhou Prefecture, and their days within the Jingzhou territory were quite favorable, at least no force dared to harass them. However, the attitude of Jingzhou Prefecture suddenly turned cold recently. Something fishy must be going on.

Probably only a power of the Tang Sect’s level could influence Jingzhou Prefecture’s attitude.

"The Tang Sect will never give up. In the future, we may never have peace again."

Luo Xian’er’s eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Given the power of the Tang Sect, if they truly set their sights back on them, how could they possibly escape with their current strength?

"Rest assured, this time, I will ensure your worries are completely resolved."

An intense resolve flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. He had not yet settled the score with the Tang Sect over chasing him last time. Initially, Ling Chen didn’t intend to pursue it, but now he must confront the Tang Sect.

"Completely resolved?"

Luo Xian’er and Shen Qianlang exchanged a glance and then furrowed their brows. Behind Great Eagle Gate is the powerful Tang Sect. Is Ling Chen planning to make the Tang Sect give up on them?

How could that possibly be accomplished?

"Where is the Great Eagle Gate’s mountain gate?"

Ling Chen asked the two, "Who can take me there?"

"I’ll go."

Shen Qianlang glanced at Luo Xian’er, then said with some difficulty, "But within the Great Eagle Gate, experts abound, and the leader Teng Shan is a formidable Senior Half-Saint in strength. And now, surely there are Tang Sect experts within. If we go with just this few people, I’m afraid it’s like a moth to a flame."

"Just the two of us will suffice."

Ling Chen shook his head, then flipped his palm to take out a pill and handed it to Shen Qianlang, "Take this, once your injuries are healed, let’s depart immediately."

"Alright!"

Although Shen Qianlang still had doubts in his heart, he nodded. Since Ling Chen had spoken to this extent, he naturally believed Ling Chen had the capability.

At worst, it’s only death.

After consuming Ling Chen’s healing pill, half an hour later, Shen Qianlang had recovered from his injuries and looked at Ling Chen, "Let’s go!"

Ling Chen nodded, then his Thunder Sound Sword transformed into a flying sword, expanding to nearly three zhang in length. After stepping onto the flying sword, Ling Chen turned his head, "Come aboard."

As Shen Qianlang stepped onto the flying sword, Ling Chen suddenly urged the Thunder Sound Sword, flying up into the air.

"Is this the Sword Controlling Technique?"

Shen Qianlang marveled in his heart.

The flying sword transformed into a meteor, its speed suddenly increasing, quickly disappearing into the distant sky.

"Brother Ling Chen, Brother Shen, you must return safely."

Watching the light trail disappear into the sky, Luo Xian’er muttered softly.

...

The mountain gate of Great Eagle Gate is not far from Qing Mountain Sword Sect, located in the northwest region within Jingzhou’s territory.

The entire Great Eagle Gate is perched atop the mountains, occupying a large area. Being a renowned sect within Jingzhou, it naturally is more impressive than the Qing Mountain Sword Sect.

At the moment, numerous figures gathered in the main hall of Great Eagle Gate, where a groan echoed from within.

In the center of the hall lay a young man in gray robes on the ground, his right ear a mangled mess, completely sliced off. It was none other than Teng Sha, who had fled in panic from Qing Mountain Sword Sect.

"I sent you to Qing Mountain Sword Sect to bring back that little girl Luo Xian’er. How did you end up like this?"

The speaker was a square-faced middle-aged man, his brows tightly furrowed. This person was none other than Teng Sha’s father, the Sect Leader of Great Eagle Gate, Teng Shan.

"Father, you can’t blame us for this. My uncle and I nearly succeeded, but a masked swordsman appeared out of nowhere, ruining our plans. It’s this detestable guy who hurt me like this."

Teng Sha spoke with a face full of hatred.

"A masked swordsman?"

Teng Shan looked puzzled and turned his eyes to the stern middle-aged man beside him.

"Indeed."

The stern middle-aged man nodded, "This mysterious swordsman is incredibly strong. I was no match for him. In just one exchange, he defeated me."

He didn’t mention that he was defeated by Ling Chen using two fingers, as it was too humiliating. After all, he was a Junior semi-saint, and being defeated by two fingers, how could he face anyone in the future?
