Rumors in the Martial World say that Lu Chengfeng pleased a True Dragon through sacrifice, bathed in dragon blood, gaining a longer life, which drove countless people in the Martial World to madness.
Except for masters in the Celestial Human Realm, even those who have refined the True Intent of the Martial Path can live at most only two Jiazi, or one hundred and twenty years.
Now that the mythical True Dragon has reappeared in the world, many people in the Martial World have flocked to the Azure Mountain Range, now a cluster of volcanoes, to see the giant dragon soaring in the flames for themselves.
In the face of such a colossal being and the fire that melts gold and iron, those martial artists originally intent on becoming dragon slayers immediately reversed their decisions.
So, many used the pretense of exterminating demons and protecting the way, saving the common people, hoping to find Lu Chengfeng and obtain the means to eternal life.
Although not everyone believed that rumor from the Martial World, if there was even the slightest chance, they would never let it pass.
After all, for those martial artists with superior cultivation, dominating one side, yet hopelessly unable to ascend to the Celestial Human status, watching themselves age helplessly is the greatest pain and sorrow.
Hence, no matter North or South, numerous heroes from the Martial World rushed towards Jade Dragon Mountain.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Jade Dragon Mountain, as the last remaining branch of the Yuncang Sword Sect, might be the most hopeful place to find Lu Chengfeng.
Although the three Elders of Jade Dragon Mountain had also mastered Sword Intent, Elder Wen was already at death's door, with half his body buried in the soil, and Li Jiuchong had only cultivated to the Twentieth Layer, having rarely fought in his life, was equally unreliable.
Only Elder Yun Mo, born on Yellow Dragon Peak, practicing the Yellow Dragon Hidden Sword True Technique, reaching the Twenty-Fourth Layer, could present some combat power.
But surrounded by wolves, she and Elder Yun Mo alone were a tree that could not withstand the storm.
Du Mengyan, for some reason, suddenly thought of Lu Chengfeng. Regarding those Martial World rumors, she didn't believe even half a word.
Though the man was charming and lustful, deep down he was cold and merciless, he was not the kind of person who would do anything evil.
Thinking of when he was on Jade Dragon Mountain, she felt she had someone to rely on, needing no extra effort, she did not need to face the Martial World's turbulent storms, and she suddenly felt an unspeakable loneliness and fatigue.
"You bastard, where the hell are you?"
"A scourge like you should live a long life, I don't believe you died just like that..."
"I really want to..."
The last thought abruptly stopped, Du Mengyan shook her head fiercely, as if trying to shake off some absurd ideas from her mind.
The two parted ways somewhat unpleasantly at that time, yet she always found it hard to forget that man, as if enchanted, she would think of him from time to time.
Perhaps because in her loneliest and most helpless times, it was this man who took root with her on Jade Dragon Mountain.
Perhaps because when Li Xiaotian's eight thousand cavalry came, it was this man who descended the mountain alone, shielding her from all the wind and rain.
Perhaps because that night Lu Chengfeng, the bastard, laid hands on her, was the first time a man dared to treat her that way.
Du Mengyan only knew that when she stood on Jade Dragon Mountain, watching that man single-handedly gallop through the army, full of heroic spirit, pointing his spear, breaking everything, sword light crisscrossing, crushing all resistance.
From then on, he was deeply imprinted in her heart, never to be erased...
"Lu Chengfeng, I want you alive, I wish... you could appear before me."
Du Mengyan said this in her heart, then suddenly stood up. Yun Mo and Li Jiuchong, who were arguing fiercely, all stopped and stood up, focusing their gaze on this young First Seat.
Even the white-haired Elder Wen, leaning on his cane, turned his gaze towards her.
"From today on, Jade Dragon Mountain is closed to outsiders, the three thousand Mountain Guard Tao Soldiers are to gather, ready for orders at any time, all disciples return to the mountain, waiting for instructions."
Du Mengyan's voice was cold and decisive, "If anyone dares to defy the order, they will be executed!"
"Yun Mo."
"At your service." Elder Yun Mo stepped forward.
"You personally persuade those guests still on the mountain to leave. If they insist on not leaving, do not show mercy, act directly." Du Mengyan's words made Elder Yun Mo frown slightly, feeling slightly uneasy, but in the end, still bowed and agreed.
"Li Jiuchong."
"At your service." Li Jiuchong stepped forward.
"You oversee the True Disciples and other ordinary disciples, await my command, no one may come or go without permission. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable." Du Mengyan said coldly.
"Understood." Li Jiuchong agreed with a nod.
"Elder Wen, all resources within the sect are under your custody, no one is to use them without my permission. I will assign Du Xiaoyue to assist you."
Elder Wen acknowledged the order with a nod.
He knew that he was ostensibly handed this task, being one of the three elders, but ultimately due to his age and lack of energy, the actual manager of the task would be Du Mengyan's confidant, True Disciple Du Xiaoyue.
"Everyone, I have already informed Tan Xiong, ordering him to lead his troops to Jade Dragon Mountain. Over the past three years in Qingzhou, he has roused refugees, eradicated mountain bandits, and built an army. With the sect's support, his forces have expanded rapidly, possessing eight thousand cavalry and thirty thousand infantry."
Du Mengyan spoke slowly, "I have recently received news, Li Qingfeng, the First Seat, and the elders have already appeared at the Northern Lands outpost. Although something happened at this mountain, our Yuncang Sword Sect has not been destroyed."
