The nine kings of the Ancient City descended collectively, shocking everyone; the last time they moved together was in the era of the Wen Dynasty.

And now, it's all for the Wuji Sect.

Even across vast lands, cultivators can sense the terrifying oppression.

At this moment!

On the land of Huangzhou, the Zhang Family.

A message suddenly arrived here: "A little girl is outside, clamoring to see Zhang Ziyu."

The white-bearded old man immediately flared his nostrils and glared: "Shoo, shoo, drive her away."

Ever since the God Grid Battle ended, Zhang Ziyu's fame spread far and wide, with the identity of the Sword Immortal Heir making him a hot topic across Huangzhou.

Over the years, countless young people came here wanting to challenge Zhang Ziyu, or to befriend him, and even some young ladies, hoping to marry Ziyu.

The senior members of the Zhang Family were very annoyed, and at this moment, everyone believed Zhang Ziyu was a fraud. But after the God Grid Battle, the truth exploded, and now everyone comes to flatter them.

Humph!

Shameless dogs.

Of course, the Zhang Family seniors wouldn't remember that they themselves had also doubted Zhang Ziyu.

The man reporting the news trembled slightly, saying, "Elder, that little girl claims to be Jiang Ni'er."

"I don't care about Jiang Ni'er, or Liu Ni'er, just drive them all out," the old man said impatiently, "Ziyu must focus on cultivation now, not on petty romances."

"Elder?" the steward beside him suddenly awoke.

"What?"

"Jiang Ni'er!"

"I know! Drive her out!" The elder was unconcerned.

"No, it's Qingfeng's Jiang Ni'er." The steward wiped his cold sweat.

From the Wuji Sect, Qingfeng's Jiang Ni'er.

Although this girl has little power, she is Chen Pingping's follower, almost always seen wherever Chen Pingping goes.

In the eyes of many, her presence already represents Chen Pingping.

The elder was suddenly awakened from his dream and hurried outside: "Quick, invite her in immediately."

Back in the days of the God Grid Battle, it was a jaw-dropping event.

Qingfeng's lineage flourished to the extreme, astonishing countless people; now, the Wuji Sect has grown to a terrifying level, and even though their Zhang Family is an ancient family, they cannot provoke them!

Especially considering the relationship between Chen Pingping and Ziyu.

Outside the door.

Jiang Ni'er's slender figure was quickly surrounded by a group of people.

"Girl, why have you come?"

"Come in quickly; it's not good to stand at the door!"

"Are you hungry?"

"By the way, where's Chen Pingping?"

"I heard you went into the Netherworld earlier, how was it?"

"Is there some big move this time upon your return?" The elder asked this last question, smiling kindly, a stark contrast to his previous stern indifference.

At this moment, the elder seemed like a benevolent elder, his gaze at Jiang Ni'er full of affection and indulgence.

Um!

Jiang Ni'er blushed slightly and responded softly, "We've returned, but my senior brother didn't come with us; he only sent me to take a look."

The elder was stunned, didn't come? What does that mean?

Aren't they inseparable?

Could it be?

He had a vague guess in his heart that the battle on the Ancient Road had undergone new changes?

A year ago, the Wuji Sect's campaign on the Ancient Road had spread, and their Zhang Family naturally knew about it; later... many things happened.

Guang Xiaoyu, Chen Shixian, Yue Wuxia, and the Demon Emperor of the Northern Border all made moves; although they destroyed several outposts, the situation of the guardians on other roads was not good.

Even Mo Wuwei along the way was slain by an ancient king, a rather tragic scene.

As for the events that followed...

Of course, there was also the Investiture of the Gods' imprinting, but for the Zhang Family, resting and nurturing health was the urgent priority; they honestly couldn't be bothered.

However?

For the family's Zhang Ziyu, it's different!

As the Sword Immortal Heir, and having a special relationship with Chen Pingping, if Chen Pingping spoke up, Zhang Ziyu might very well go to battle.

The entire Zhang Family couldn't stop him.

Of course, they didn't oppose this, and were even happy to see such a scene.

The better the relationship between Zhang Ziyu and Chen Pingping, the more it indicates the link between the Zhang Family and the Wuji Sect.

Their senior members had long reached a conclusion: by all means, they must attach themselves to the Wuji Sect's flying ship, even if the Wuji Sect perishes in this era.

The Zhang Family wouldn't regret it.

Led by a group of people, Jiang Ni'er soon entered the Zhang Family's hall.

There were many senior members present, all staring at the young girl.

Jiang Ni'er truly couldn't bear it anymore, blushing, she said, "May I see Ziyu?"

Uh!

The elder waved his big hand: "Someone, please bring Ziyu out."

"Elder, Brother Ziyu has only just gone into seclusion," a young man couldn't help but say.

"No problem, bring him out," the elder said.

The young man hesitated no longer and turned to leave.

After the God Grid Battle ended, Zhang Ziyu spent most of his time in retreat; he discovered that the Sword Immortal Heritage contained many intricate mysteries.

Layer upon layer, it fascinated him.

Upon unraveling one layer, he would feel immense satisfaction.

Thus, he became absorbed in it, neglecting the news on the Ancient Road; otherwise, given his nature, he would have already made his presence known.

With one hand holding the Opening Heaven Swordsmanship, he'd sweep across the Ancient Road's enemies.

When the young man arrived here, he awakened Zhang Ziyu, who said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you? Don't disturb me during my seclusion."

The young man was gloomy: "Brother Ziyu, Qingfeng's Jiang Ni'er has come to find you."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Ziyu immediately rushed out, and upon reaching the hall, he indeed saw that familiar little girl.

Zhang Ziyu grinned: "Hey, long time no see."

Jiang Ni'er also smiled: "Indeed, long time no see, Mr. Zhang's aura is becoming more composed, internalized, much more restrained, very good, great progress."

Everyone: "..."

What the heck?

Isn't this girl an ordinary person? Without even one realm, how can she easily see through Zhang Ziyu's cultivation?

Even Zhang Ziyu silently gritted his teeth.

He, a dignified Sword Immortal Heir, holding the Opening Heaven Swordsmanship, was immensely formidable, yet... every time, facing the Qingfeng lineage, even this little girl without any cultivation, he would always feel a sense of crushing pressure.

"It seems, over these years of seclusion, you've gained quite a bit," Jiang Ni'er continued, "But your Sword Dao is still not stable."

Zhang Ziyu forced a smile, unable to reply, dared not refute, not knowing how to refute; this was as uncomfortable as swallowing feces.

Because Jiang Ni'er was right.

After years of seclusion, although there was some progress, he always felt that his Sword Dao was unstable, very impetuous, just like his mindset.

The so-called composure was just appearance.

A group of Zhang Family senior members was left speechless.

Jiang Ni'er chuckled, not dwelling on this matter, but instead spoke of the task for this journey: "You are facing a great calamity."

Zhang Ziyu was shocked.

If someone came to his house and told him this, he'd surely unleash an Opening Heaven Swordsmanship strike.

But this little girl before him, her words must be taken seriously.

Great calamity?

What kind of great calamity?

The elder cautiously asked: "What do you mean by that?"

"In the True Martial Dynasty lineage, there is a place called South Mountain, claiming the South Mountain Swordsmanship; the people who come from there, their understanding of the Sword Dao is close to perfection. They have a peculiar hobby: they like to challenge the mightiest sword dao in the world," Jiang Ni'er said, "And the Opening Heaven Swordsmanship of the Sword Immortal Heritage is the supreme Sword Dao heritage of the Human Clan, so... you will face a great tribulation."

"What is the True Martial Dynasty?" a young man asked, wearing a confused expression.

Jiang Ni'er gave him a look and said calmly, "Above the Heavens, Divine Clan, True Martial Dynasty."

With these words, the atmosphere in the hall immediately sank a lot, suffocating everyone.
