Yin Susu spoke with utmost gravity.

"Good!"

Yin Tianzheng looked deeply at Yin Susu. Compared to Yin Yewang, he trusted this astute daughter even more.

Yin Yewang acted too impulsively, brave but unwise.

"Dad, isn't that just the Divine Prayer? What's the use of reciting it? Could we really see a Divine Spirit?"

Yin Yewang blustered.

He wasn't going to recite it, anyway.

Too embarrassing.

If people knew that he, Yin Yewang, recited such a thing, how would he be able to face others in the Jianghu martial arts world in the future?

Knowing Yin Yewang's temperament, Yin Susu ignored him and started chanting with sincerity.

Although Yin Tianzheng was perplexed, he chose to believe in Yin Susu.

A moment later, while Yin Yewang waited impatiently, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Yin Tianzheng, his cultivation level soaring from the late Innate stage to Grandmaster.

"How is this possible?"

Yin Yewang was dumbstruck.

However, he noticed that Yin Tianzheng seemed oblivious, his face a mix of shock, anxiety, excitement, and reverence...

I never thought there really were Divine Spirits in this world. It's unimaginable.

Yin Tianzheng's heart was in turmoil. The shock was beyond words.

The power of the Divine Spirit was beyond his imagination.

"Dad, are you alright? How did you break through so much all at once?" Yin Yewang asked eagerly.

"Hmm?"

Only upon hearing this did Yin Tianzheng realize his cultivation level had broken through.

He immediately thought of the Divine Spirit he had just seen.

"This is a divine blessing, Brother. Just chant sincerely once, and you may also have a chance to break through to Grandmaster!" Yin Susu said from the side.

"It's indeed a divine blessing." Yin Tianzheng wasn't surprised. He was very clear about his situation; without a fortuitous opportunity, it would have been difficult for him to advance further in this lifetime.

"What? A divine blessing?"

Yin Yewang's eyes widened. He wanted to disbelieve, yet Yin Tianzheng stood before him, a living example.

If Yin Tianzheng had broken through to Innate Peak, he could have understood.

But to break through to Grandmaster...

This was definitely not normal.

"Why haven't you scurried off to chant yet? Remember, you must be sincere," Yin Tianzheng commanded.

"Yes!"

Yin Yewang rejoiced, convinced it was real. He immediately took the "Meditation Method" and went to the side to start reciting.

Yin Tianzheng turned to Yin Susu. Recalling previous events, he guessed something and asked, "Susu, did Yang Xiao give this to you?"

"Dad, you are astute. This was indeed given to me by Envoy Yang. Envoy Yang asked me to tell you that he hopes you will return to the Ming Sect, reorganize it, and expel the Tartars!"

Yin Susu nodded earnestly. Yin Tianzheng wasn't too surprised.

Knowing it was from Yang Xiao, he had already guessed Yang Xiao's intention.

Yin Tianzheng nodded. "Who would've thought Yang Xiao would be so fortunate to receive a Divine Spirit's favor? With the 'Meditation Method,' which can strengthen someone just by praying, he indeed has the strength to reorganize the Ming Sect and expel the Tartars." He continued, "Initially, I founded the Heavenly Hawk Sect because I didn't want to vie for power with them within the Ming Sect. Now, it's time to return!"

「Soon enough.」

The Heavenly Hawk Sect announced its merger with the Ming Sect.

Suddenly, the Jianghu martial arts world was astir.

Although the White Brow Eagle King was originally from the Ming Sect, the merger of the Heavenly Hawk Sect with the Ming Sect, though unexpected, made sense.

However, this news was soon overshadowed by another, more shocking development.

The Dragon-slaying Saber, the treasure of the Jianghu martial arts' Venerable, had ended up in the hands of the Ming Sect's Light Left Envoy, Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao issued a call to heroes, inviting major Sects and Jianghu martial artists to Peak Light to unravel the secrets of the Dragon-slaying Saber!

This news, like a category twelve hurricane, swept across the land, shaking the entire Jianghu martial arts community.

「...」

「Wudang Mountain.」

「The Hall of True Martial Arts.」

Zhang Sanfeng sat at the higher end of the hall. His beard and hair were pristine white, his complexion was rosy, and his skin was as smooth as a baby's, belying his ninety years of age.

"Master, Yang Xiao must have ulterior motives for doing this; we cannot rashly go!" Yu Daiyan said loudly, looking at the invitation.

Because she knew the plot in advance, Yin Susu hadn't thrown him to the Dragon Gate Escort Agency but had instead instructed her men to take him back to the Heavenly Hawk Sect for healing.

Though his injuries were healed, the resentment in his heart had not diminished. He held no fondness for either the Heavenly Hawk Sect or the Ming Sect.

"With the lure of the Dragon-slaying Saber, the major Sects will surely go."

Zhang Sanfeng fingered the invitation, sensing the Grandmaster's aura left on it. He felt secretly alarmed. Then he said, "I, this old Daoist, have stayed on Wudang Mountain long enough; it is time to descend the mountain for a visit."

He was somewhat curious about Yang Xiao. It was rare to meet a kindred spirit, and he wanted to go and see for himself.

Most importantly, his cultivation level had reached a bottleneck, and he was seeking a breakthrough.

Interacting with a peer at the same cultivation level was the best way to achieve it.

「...」

「Emei.」

"Master, the Dragon-slaying Saber has fallen into the hands of that villain Yang Xiao of the Demon Sect, and Junior Sister Ji Xiaofu has been abducted by him as well. Shall we go to Peak Light?"

Ding Minjun stood behind Sect Master Mie Jue, her face showing concern, yet inside she was pleased.

Ji Xiaofu was the most favored by Sect Master Mie Jue. Now that she had been taken by Yang Xiao, no one could compete with her for the position of the next Sect Leader.

"Of course, we're going."

Sect Master Mie Jue snorted coldly, her gaze sharp.

She knew the secrets of the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-slaying Saber very well.

So, she must reclaim the Dragon-slaying Saber.

As for Yang Xiao claiming to be able to unravel the Saber's secrets, she didn't believe it for a moment.

If Yang Xiao knew the secrets of the Dragon-slaying Saber, why hadn't he come for her Heaven-Reliant Sword?

Without the Heaven-Reliant Sword, the secrets could not possibly be unlocked.

「Meanwhile.」

The Shaolin, Huashan, Kongtong, Kunlun, and other major Sects, as well as countless factions and Martial Artists in the Jianghu martial arts world coveting the Dragon-slaying Saber, began making their way to Peak Light.
