The answer is naturally affirmative.
This is no longer just a formality, it is no exaggeration to describe it with the word "intimidation."
As the eldest sister said, this time proactively seeking out Jiang Feng was part of the plan, using one stone to kill three birds is most appropriate.
Firstly, borrowing the knife to kill, the most core of the sect's direct disciples was killed after marrying off to Xuanyin City, and even a blame was imposed, causing enmity between the sects, a resolution must be sought at all costs.
Secondly, the news of Swordmaster Peak reopening has been known for over two years, with the heaviest blow being Swordmaster Peak finally announcing its successor. Even though Liu Tangxi ascended not long ago, he stands out as a young talent in the entire Cultivation World, but the reputation Liu Jian built over hundreds of years still resonates throughout the world.
Thirdly, the Sect Master proactively visited Kunlun years ago, glimpsing some heaven's secrets, and the conclusion, albeit vague, left them thinking of no one else but Liu Tangxi.
She is too dazzling, as brilliant as a shooting star across the sky, everyone knows she is strong, knows she indeed has the strength to succeed Liu Jian.
But just how strong is she, what is her limit, can she transcend and create her own path like Liu Jian did.
No one knows.
Because all who knew this are already dead, and anyone who could make Liu Tangxi exert herself fully has hardly survived, being a sect that can make the correct judgment and choose rightly at historical crossroads, the Joyful Sect.
They must test the calibre of this young Sword Immortal, to see whether they need to change their attitude towards her sect, befriending one sect will inevitably offend all opposing forces.
They need a reason, or rather, whether the current Purple Cloud Palace indeed has this level of strength.
Now they know.
Facing two opponents effortlessly, the Jiu He brothers were famous in the Jianghu three hundred years ago, both had participated in the Hong Jun battle and survived to this day, each with over five hundred, nearly six hundred years of lifespan, they are considered veteran figures in the Cultivation World.
Especially as one is a renowned magician, and the other, Xuan Hezi, was once known as "Blade Maniac," yet these two outstanding figures were regrettably defeated and nearly perished, if not for having the Su Mi Ruler, a lifesaving magic treasure.
It's likely their Nascent Souls would have been extracted and crushed by Liu Tangxi.
Even more terrifying.
This is not her limit, even now, no one knows where her limit lies.
Breath calm without any disorder, the fall of the eight-faced Han sword just now would have drained any Body Integration Realm expert on the spot, burning up the Essence Blood entirely isn't impossible, but the woman before them...
Shows no change on her face.
You cannot even tell if she is pretending or truly unscathed, not only leisurely sweeping up the spoils of war, she even has the mind to instruct the younger generation in their cultivation.
Tremendously shocking.
"Young Master Jiang, you worry too much, naturally we can account for it. I have said before, regardless of the outcome, as long as the Purple Cloud Palace is willing to lend a hand, the Joyful Sect will always remember this kindness."
"As for what we promised you, we won't forget. As long as you wish, you are welcome to bring Miss Lin back to visit her family, after all, the elders of the sect wish to meet their grand-disciple."
"Understood."
Politely bowed.
After this battle, they immediately clarified their position, knowing there are others around eyeing them greedily, and thus risking themselves to make contact as soon as the battle ended, fearing others would get ahead.
And the last three words were willing.
Ying Ling could never have imagined that her hard training from a young age would leave her inferior in realm and mindset to a brother who had only started learning three years ago, their perspectives and philosophies were not on the same level.
The way of thinking and problem-solving methods were also completely different, a philosophy she greatly recognized, external objects are after all external, adhere to one's heart, focus on cultivating oneself, command external forces with inner strength, rather than being trapped by magic treasures and predecessors' remnants.
She should be bolder, try more.
"How is my vision?"
Liu Tangxi only took over the topic.
With a calm tone, an ordinary person would likely see this as an invisible boast, but Ying Ling sensed her mind was as calm as still water, she was merely asking a very ordinary question.
"Young Master Jiang has an extraordinary presence, worthy of being your successor, and truly deserving of the title successor of Swordmaster Peak."
Neither acknowledging nor denying, instead walking a few steps forward to the edge of the mountain cliff, from here overlooking you could see a terrible ravine over a hundred meters deep, a nearly destroyed valley.
Ying Ling followed proactively, knowing Liu Xianzi had something to say to her alone, but when she saw the ghastly traces left in the valley below, she couldn't help but have her eyelids twitch a few times.
Just looking at it was suffocating, considering how long they fought? An incense stick? Two? What kind of scene would it be if this young Liu Xianzi was forced to exert all her strength to the utmost?
"You should know Yu Rou, she is Lan Tianyong, the Great Elder of Taixu Sect's closed-door disciple, and was once my junior's fiancée. With your Joyful Sect's capabilities, you must have figured this out before setting out."
"But the first person I targeted when heading to Qingshui County was not my junior, but his fiancée."
