You call this space not big?

As soon as Wang Junze stepped into the space, he was stunned. In this expanse of void, there was also a pavilion from which someone emerged, and outside was an extremely large open area. The feeling was not much smaller than the open area in front of the Sword Peak Main Hall. The most crucial part was that there was even sunlight, trees, and fallen leaves here.

If it weren't already known that this space was created by someone else, one might even mistake it for reality.

Compared to Wang Junze, Luo Bingyun's perception was even greater. The stronger one's power, the better one could understand the difficulty of creating such a space. Moreover, from her perception, she could clearly feel that the space was very stable. Even she would find it difficult to forcibly break the space and leave.

In other words... At least a Saint Realm expert would be needed to shatter this void and freely enter and exit.

If Elder Qiu truly harbored malice, then now it would be easy enough to trap them here, which in itself was an extremely terrifying thought.

Thinking further, if, during the Deserters' invasion, Elder Qiu had been willing to intervene, just this space alone would have been enough to save most of the sect's disciples.

Of course, by today, Luo Bingyun naturally wouldn't bring up old matters again, but in her heart, she couldn't help but harbor more dread and awe towards these Elders Qiu.

"The exit to the cave in the book won't be closed by this old man. You can freely enter and exit anytime."

Meanwhile, Elder Qiu's voice echoed once again in the void, once again extending goodwill.

"Thank you, Elder Qiu!"

With a slight bow, Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan expressed their thanks softly.

"Alright, you two start sword cultivation with me... Let's begin with Wang Junze!"

Composing herself slightly, Luo Bingyun's gaze then fell onto Wang Junze, speaking mildly.

"???"

Suddenly, an ominous feeling surged in Wang Junze's heart, a very bad premonition.

Could Elder Luo be looking to settle personal scores under the guise of training?

"...Actually, I think my realm hasn't stabilized yet, maybe I should go back and consolidate it first."

Wang Junze shrank his neck, cautiously speaking.

Unfortunately, the only response was a brilliant flash of sword light.

...

"My lord, all the information regarding the Northern Domain has been found."

A captain quickly entered the main tent, reporting in a low voice.

"Summarize the important points!"

Raising an eyebrow, the King of Changlin spoke sternly.

After organizing his thoughts slightly, the captain then carefully began to speak: "Based on the information analysis, the Commandery Princess aims to mobilize the Changlin Army northward, possibly related to a Profound Moon Sword Sect disciple named Wang Junze. This person originally belonged to a small local family and had previously failed in Opening Veins, until more than a year ago when the Commandery Princess entered the Northern Domain..."

It must be said, the Changlin Army's ability to gather and analyze information was incredibly strong. In just over an hour, they not only gathered all the information but also insightfully deduced the course of events!

While not claiming to know the full truth, they've guessed a substantial portion of it.

"...Therefore, I suspect that the Commandery Princess has a close relationship with this Wang Junze. The Four Symbols Sect, colluding with the Deserters to attack the Profound Moon Sword Sect, resulted in Wang Junze's demise, which is the reason for the Commandery Princess's decision to mobilize the Changlin Army northward."

"Are you saying that Yuwei might be in love with this Wang Junze?"

The King of Changlin responded equally quickly, keenly aware that this close relationship likely wasn't in the sense of friendship. Coupled with Su Yuwei's collapse after agreeing, clearly exhausted mentally and emotionally, left little doubt about the truth.

"...I dare not presume!"

The King of Changlin could say it, but he dared not respond.

After all, in name, this Commandery Princess is now regarded as the Quasi-Princess Consort Yu.

"He's dead... that's no longer important!"

After pondering for a moment, only then did the King of Changlin relax his brow.

Regardless of whether his conjectures were accurate, since Wang Junze is dead, it becomes irrelevant, making the northern mobilization of the Changlin Army simply an act to vent his daughter's anger, without involving other troubles.

"My lord, the Commandery Princess has awakened."

Meanwhile, a maid quickly entered the tent, softly reporting.

"Understood."

Slightly nodding, the King of Changlin waved a hand to signal the others to leave, rising and stepping quickly outside.

Wang Junze's death brought him some peace but also inevitably tender feelings towards his daughter... In the end, it's just a grand dream. Once the Northern Domain's affairs are settled, gradually, it will be forgotten.

...

Lying on the ground, Wang Junze looked up at the sky, eyes filled with sorrow, feeling like life held no more joy.

Too miserable!

Although called sword training, it was essentially a one-sided beating by Luo Bingyun. While Luo Bingyun would never truly hurt him, she certainly didn't hold back. One could even say... she was ruthlessly harsh!

Throughout the process, he didn't even have the opportunity to complete a single sword move; barely assuming a defensive posture before being directly knocked down, ravaged beyond description.

Only by genuinely facing such a formidable opponent as Luo Bingyun could one understand how vast the gap between them was.

Luo Bingyun didn't care to exert much strength, the Sword Dao alone was enough to easily crush Wang Junze.

His Heaven-Stepping Realm cultivation meant absolutely nothing in the eyes of Luo Bingyun.

In stark contrast to how she dealt with him, Luo Bingyun was much gentler when instructing Luo Qingxuan, even pointing out flaws in Luo Qingxuan's techniques while sparring. Now, that was proper guidance!

This double standard was truly striking!

"Had enough lying down? If so, get up and continue practicing!"

Speaking, Luo Bingyun, having just finished guiding Luo Qingxuan, once again directed her gaze onto Wang Junze.

"..."

Though he had thoughts of playing dead, Wang Junze knew full well his true condition couldn't deceive Luo Bingyun's eyes. Despite his reluctance, he had no choice but to get up and continue being beaten!

Of course, more importantly, Wang Junze also understood that though Luo Bingyun seized the moment to vent her temper, this kind of guidance was ultimately highly effective. As long as he endured her onslaught, his Sword Dao would certainly undergo a qualitative leap.

"This time you strike first, but don't unleash your full power, and you're not allowed to use that desperate sword technique you learned from the ruins!"

Casting a glance at Wang Junze, Luo Bingyun remarked calmly, "You've advanced too quickly in your cultivation, focusing too much on these ultimate techniques. As a result, your Sword Dao fundamentals have faltered. Now, we start back from the basics. Remember, no exquisite Sword Techniques are achieved in one step. Without a solid foundation in Sword Dao, relying solely on powerful techniques to win is not the right path."

"Yes!"

Feeling a slight chill, Wang Junze naturally understood that this was precisely where Luo Bingyun intended to truly guide him and also the greatest gap currently between him and becoming a true Sword Dao expert.
