"Hmph, the sword in your hand, do you not know its secret?"

The gaze of the elderly guardian, at some unknown time, had already locked onto the Red Sword in Qin Tian’s hand.

"What secret?"

In reality, Qin Tian only knew this was the Bloodthirsty Sword, with a powerful capability to absorb, helping him to cultivate rapidly. Other than that, he really didn’t know.

"In this Bloodthirsty Sword, lives a person."

The elderly guardian’s words just fell, Qin Tian was already dumbfounded.

"Are you kidding me?"

He truly didn’t believe it, but he seemed to have sensed the mystery of the Red Sword countless times, releasing inexplicable energy, helping him through the most dangerous times...

Could it be, there really is a person residing inside?

"To be precise, what resides within is a soul."

The guardian was uncontrollably excited, "It’s my master, I have waited for this day for over a hundred years... finally arrived!"

Thud!

Speaking so, the guardian actually knelt toward Qin Tian!

"Senior, I can’t bear this."

Qin Tian quickly said.

"I am not kneeling to you, you have no such qualification. Hand me the sword."

As the guardian spoke, a gesture of his hand drew a suction force, directly seizing the Red Sword from Qin Tian’s hand!

Though highly unwilling, the dominant suction pressure left Qin Tian powerless to resist, and the Red Sword uncontrollably slipped from his hand.

Only to see the guardian place the Red Sword carefully on the ground, bowing three times, "Miss, Xiao Bai has waited over a hundred years for you, you have finally... finally arrived... Xiao Bai knew, you would return!"

Watching the guardian’s devout actions, Qin Tian and Susu were bewildered.

Undoubtedly, the guardian couldn’t be a charlatan; with his strength, as he claimed, within three moves, he could easily slay Qin Tian and Susu.

"Where did you get this sword?"

Seeing the Red Sword slowly emit an eerie glow, Susu softly asked Qin Tian.

"Picked it up."

Qin Tian answered candidly, rendering Susu speechless.

"Young man, you are my lady’s savior. When my lady emerges, I assure you will be handsomely rewarded. Come, follow me."

The guardian had gotten up from the ground, reverently offering the Red Sword, heading straight into the depths of Ghost Island.

Awooo!

After walking less than ten miles, the sky changed colors, several giant dragons roared out, rushing towards Qin Tian and company, seemingly about to attack.

"Retreat all, or risk being slain!"

The guardian shouted lowly, his body emanating a deadly aura!

It was an extreme cold killing intent!

Qin Tian and Susu were swept by it, both gasped in shock, hurriedly sheltering their bodies with True Qi.

Terrifying, exceptionally terrifying.

Qin Tian was inwardly astounded, the guardian’s cultivation level must surpass the Flying Immortal Realm, such prowess, Qin Tian had never heard or seen before!

Awooo~

The three Demon Energy Giant Dragons, sensing the guardian’s intense killing aura, trembled with fear, howling twice, were genuinely repelled.

"Those three giant dragons, if the two of us encountered them, it would be certain death."

Susu whispered to Qin Tian, "The weakest of them, at least has Middle Stage of Great Immortal Realm cultivation."

Qin Tian did not deny, "I am now just curious, where are we headed, does this Red Sword truly contain the master of this senior?"

Qin Tian and Susu quietly discussed, the guardian was silent, leading them through Ghost Island for dozens of miles, driving away numerous Grade Seven Demon Beasts that terrified Qin Tian and Susu. Finally, he stopped before a small mountain.

This was a hill, but in front of it, there was indeed a large fluctuation of True Qi energy.

At first glance, Qin Tian vaguely saw a Stone Gate, at least thirty meters high, taller than the hill itself!

The intense energy fluctuations caused Qin Tian and Susu, whose cultivation was "low," to barely stand steadily in front of the Stone Gate.

"Here we are, here we are... hahaha..."

The guardian happily laughed, holding the Red Sword.

"What is this place?" Susu couldn’t help but ask seeing the scene she hadn’t seen before.

"Void Mountain. This is Ghost Island, Void Mountain."

The guardian spoke, finally chanting the Mnemonic, the energy True Qi on the Stone Gate instantly revealed strange radiance...

"Void Mountain..."

Qin Tian muttered the name, feeling inexplicably familiar.

"Void Mountain, Starry Sky Mountain, Void Mountain... hisses."

Recalling memories, Qin Tian locked onto the memory of the Red Sword, eventually recalling something, his face drastically changed!

Yes! It’s the Red Sword!

Is it her?

Qin Tian vaguely remembered, on the body of the Red Sword, there was a dragon pattern!

The dragon pattern was formed by a mysterious True Qi Dragon after absorbing Holy Water!

And the True Qi Dragon seemed to last transform into a woman, diving with the Red Sword, a white-haired woman!

That woman, upon entering the Red Sword, emitted a voice!

The voice was—

"Save me, Void Mountain, Void Mountain!"

Hiss!

Recalling this, Qin Tian drew a deep breath! Could it be that the weapon accompanying him for years actually harbors a woman? What a joke!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Just as Qin Tian felt incredibly shock, afar at Void Mountain, that Void Gate, under the guardian’s chant, gradually opened...

The guardian held the Red Sword, his body floated up, slowly drifting toward the Void Gate.

Qin Tian, worried for his Red Sword, wanted to follow with Susu.

But before the Void Gate, the immensely powerful energy directly blocked them both, a True Qi Barrier stretched across in front, with their strength, it was impossible to breakthrough!

"Senior, my sword!" Qin Tian shouted.

"If I desire it, I could take your life too, let alone a sword. Wait."

The Void Gate slowly closed, the guardian’s voice echoed from the depths of Void Mountain.

The guardian vanished, the Void Gate returned to its former indistinct state, the surroundings instantly quieted down.

Qin Tian and Susu waited at the foot of Void Mountain, Susu carefully recalling the entire process, looked at Qin Tian, "Lin Feng, just what kind of person are you, why do I always feel like you are hiding many things from me?"

"Someday, someday I will tell you gradually. But now isn’t the time, let’s first see what this guardian is up to."

Qin Tian took a deep breath, carefully observing the distant Void Mountain.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Minutes later, behind them, two dark clouds fiercely approached, and when Qin Tian and Susu turned around, the two clouds transformed into two dark shadows, landing directly behind them!
