Chapter 66 – Death Duel
They arrived at Purple Sun Pavilion eight days later. During this time, Li Guanqi hardly had any time to cultivate, as Yu Sui’an constantly dragged him around the boat.
Sometimes, when Li Nanting wasn’t actively steering the cloud boat and it drifted at a slow pace, she would pester Li Guanqi for a ride on his sword.
Although Li Guanqi often let her have her way, he refused this request, explaining that it was too dangerous. He encouraged her to cultivate diligently and reach the Foundation Building Realm.
However, when Yu Sui’an heard the word “cultivate,” she covered her ears and ran off to find Ye Feng.
There were ten disciples on the boat, including three female cultivators from Heavenly Water Peak. All of them were talented and capable, earning Li Guanqi's respect.
Buzz!
The cloud boat descended slowly through the clouds. Standing at the front of the boat, Li Guanqi looked ahead and saw a gigantic sect spread across a mountain range like a flourishing empire. Its layout was perfectly symmetrical, and immortal cranes circled gracefully in the area.
As soon as they entered the sect’s territory, Li Guanqi sensed the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth becoming much denser. Privately, he was astonished. It meant the sect had multiple spirit veins.
Before long, the cloud boat came to a stop, a thousand zhang away from the Purple Sun Pavilion. A shimmering azure barrier blocked further passage.
There was a flash of light, and an old man in purple robes arrived. He had a stern look with a long scar on his wrinkled face. After seeing the cloud boat, he frowned and asked, “Is this the Daxia Sword Sect’s cloud boat?”
Li Nanting stepped out of the boat. He gave the old man a fist salute and said, “I am Li Nanting, an elder of the Daxia Sword Sect. I have brought my disciples here to test their spirit voids. Please open the barrier for us.”
The old man smiled and waved. A gap dozens of zhang wide opened in the barrier. He leaped onto the boat and saluted. “I am Song Ru of the Purple Sun Pavilion, sent to receive you all. I hadn’t expected the Daxia Sword Sect to be the first to arrive.”
