Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Yingyue Lake.

Lake bottom.

Under the lake water, it was calm and undisturbed.

Only occasional fish swam by.

At this moment.

Ye Zhengqi closed his eyes again to heal his injuries.

Jiang Ning's gaze fell on Ye Zhengqi, his eyes briefly showing a look of contemplation.

Now he has a way to probe Li Sixiang's methods, and can guarantee not to be discovered.

The only thing making him hesitate is that Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Ling are both by his side, and he would inevitably reveal this secret.

But he only thought about it for a moment.

Jiang Ning was no longer hesitant.

These two, he feels he can trust.

And currently, revealing the Heavenly Eye seems to pose no big problem.

After all, someone had already seen his Heavenly Eye before.

Moreover, from what he has learned about Ye Zhengqi, and Ye Zhengqi's actions recently, he is worth trusting.

As for Zhong Ling, he paid her no mind.

After thinking it through, he no longer hesitated.

Currently, at the lake bottom, unaware of what is happening outside, he felt completely blind and extremely uncomfortable.

The next moment.

He pressed his right index and middle fingers together, then stroked his brow.

In an instant.

A vertical white stripe appeared on his brow.

The stripe seemed like a closed eye.

Brilliant bright white light was emanating from the crevice of the eye.

The appearance of the Heavenly Eye instantly brought some brightness to the dim lake bottom, illuminating the surrounding slowly floating aquatic plants and the dark rocks.

Zhong Ling still tightly clutched Jiang Ning's left arm, her hands gripping firmly.

To her, this lake bottom felt as deep as an abyss, with only the faint light trickling down from the lake surface above.

Her visibility was less than half a meter.

Being in this abyss-like lake bottom filled her with fear.

Afraid that releasing her grip would leave her alone in an instant.

Now, she suddenly felt surrounded by light, and then noticed the change at Jiang Ning's brow.

Watching Jiang Ning, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She felt that Jiang Ning's temperament had drastically changed, filled with a mysterious and transcendental aura, like a god rather than a mortal.

Jiang Ning at this moment had no time to notice Zhong Ling's changes.

He looked towards the direction they came from.

His gaze instantly penetrated layers of emptiness, observing the place where Water Moon Sword Palace had just held the Grandmaster banquet, which had become a mess.

Many Water Moon Sword Palace disciples were cleaning and clearing debris.

"Dispersed?"

He thought to himself, and then quickly surveyed the entire Water Moon Sword Palace.

Still no sight of Li Sixiang or Xiao Qiushui, nor Xiao Emei.

Still not!

He then turned his gaze towards the island where Water Moon Sword Palace was situated.

This time, he searched the entire Lake Heart Island for dozens of breaths.

Strange!!

His eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The entire island, too, held no sign of these three, only some guests he previously saw at the banquet seemed to be leaving the island.

The next moment.

He roughly understood, and swept his gaze to the edge of Yingyue Lake.

On the lake's edge, he quickly found figures of Li Sixiang, Xiao Qiushui, and Xiao Emei.

As expected!

It seemed Li Sixiang didn't pursue us then, now he is also leaving Water Moon Sword Palace.

Thus, the entire Water Moon Sword Palace is likely soon to be devoid of guests, leaving only the Water Moon Sword Palace's people.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's just extinguished thought surfaced again.

His gaze immediately locked onto Xiao Qiushui, a flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

...

On the other side.

"Palace Master Xiao, stop here, I bid farewell!" Li Sixiang, in a Daoist robe and full silver hair, spoke.

Xiao Qiushui watched as Li Sixiang slowly walked away.

After a long time.

With Li Sixiang's figure disappearing, Xiao Qiushui withdrew her gaze.

Her eyes became profound and thoughtful.

Just now at the banquet, Li Sixiang's demonstration had shown her the true strength of a Second Grade Great Grandmaster.

Even Ye Zhengqi, a Heavenly Human Grandmaster of such caliber.

Was no match against Li Sixiang, who had just achieved the Divine Realm and was ranked as Second Grade Grandmaster.

This made her understand, that even if she became a Heavenly Human Grandmaster, she couldn't spare Water Moon Sword Palace from worldly disputes.

In Guangning Prefecture, there was Cross Immortal Gate.

These sects had no choice but to follow Cross Immortal Gate.

Water Moon Sword Palace still couldn't achieve true autonomy.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind, ultimately turning into a long sigh.

"Master, what's the matter?" The voice came from behind Xiao Emei.

Xiao Qiushui glanced at her.

Then looked at the sword in her hand, the symbolic sword of her identity as Palace Master.

"This sword must never be left behind, keep it well!"

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Emei replied.

Puzzled in her heart.

"Let's go back!" Xiao Qiushui said.

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Emei responded again.

Then followed closely behind Xiao Qiushui.

Watching Xiao Qiushui's figure ahead, she inexplicably felt that her silhouette appeared slightly lonelier.

The two crossed the bridge, quickly returning to Lake Heart Island.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning also slowly withdrew his gaze, looking at Zhong Ling beside him.

Since Zhong Ling's face was flushed, clearly her breath-holding time had reached its limit.

Seeing Jiang Ning looking down at her, Zhong Ling immediately drew closer.

...

Moments later.

Jiang Ning glanced at Ye Zhengqi, still meditating to heal.

Then he slightly moved his lips, using the Sound Transmission into Secret Skill.

"Li Sixiang has left Water Moon Sword Palace, I will first take Zhong Ling to find her grandfather Xuan."

"Lord Ye need not worry about my safety, if the healing concludes, you need not mind me, I will return myself!"

Upon hearing this,

Ye Zhengqi slowly opened his eyes.
