Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

"No." Chen Ying refused without hesitation.

This Purple Cloud Immortal Sword was one of the five Immortal swords left behind by the Ancestor of the Immortal Dawn Sect. It was extremely powerful.

Even in the hands of a Xiantian Grandmaster, one could kill Deity Realm experts at will.

It could be said to be the ultimate treasure of the Immortal Dawn Sect.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Immortal Sword had a spirit that would choose its own master, it wouldn't be Chen Ying, a fourth-generation legacy disciple's turn, to hold such a precious treasure.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for her to hand the Purple Cloud Sword to someone else.

Even if for some reason this person had attained the highest achievement in the Immortal Dawn Sword Art, it was still impossible.

Even if it was just to look at it.

"My Lord, please forgive my sister's rudeness." Chen Tong hurriedly bowed and apologized to Cui Heng. At the same time, he reminded Chen Ying in a low voice, "You can't be disrespectful to Lord Governor!"

"Brother, it's not that I'm being rude." Chen Ying held the Purple Cloud Sword in her hand and took a deep breath. She bowed to Cui Heng and said, "Lord, it's not that I'm unwilling. It's just that this sword is too important and can't be handed over to others."

"I understand." Cui Heng nodded lightly without getting angry. He smiled and said, "I think this sword has a spiritual consciousness. If it takes the initiative and wants to come to me, it should be fine, right?"

"Ah?" Chen Ying was at a loss again.

"Why don't you let it be unsheathed?" Cui Heng guided patiently.

"…" Chen Ying was silent. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Just a little then?"

As she spoke, she gently pulled the Purple Cloud Sword out of the scabbard.

Clang!

Just by unsheathing the sword a little, a sword cry sounded.

At the same time, a sharp and invisible sword qi spread out, dyeing the surrounding void with a purple glow, causing all the weapons stored in the county captain's residence to tremble.

It was as if they were facing over one side to worship.

"It's indeed an Immortal Sword!" Chen Tong could not help but exclaim. This was also the first time he had seen Chen Ying unsheathe the Purple Cloud Sword.

"Is this okay?" Chen Ying asked as she tried to put the Purple Cloud Sword back into the scabbard. However, she was suddenly stunned. Her beautiful eyes widened as she said in shock, "How is this possible?!"

She realized that the Purple Cloud Sword, which was usually obedient to her like her own arm, was actually resisting being sheathed. Moreover, it was very eager to leave the scabbard and fly in a certain direction.

This was where Cui Heng was standing.

Clang!

In the end, Chen Ying could not suppress the Purple Cloud Sword. She could only let it fly out of the scabbard and transform into a purple sword light that landed in Cui Heng's palm.

"You can't!"

She was shocked and wanted to rush over and snatch the Immortal Sword back.

But the moment the Purple Cloud Sword fell into Cui Heng's hands—

The purple clouds on the sword hilt suddenly came to life, scattering mysterious and noble purple light that wrapped around Cui Heng's body.

"This is…"

Chen Ying instantly stopped moving and stared at the changes in Cui Heng's hand.

Her slender eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful face quickly revealed an extremely shocked expression. She muttered, "Immortal Sword Phenomenon… Immortal Sword Phenomenon?!"

Rumble!

At this moment, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.

Hui Shi, who was still standing outside, could not help but look up.

The originally blue sky had changed.

A purple cloud suddenly floated over from the east.

He took a closer look and realized that there was still endless Purple Qi behind this mass of purple clouds.

Dense clouds filled the sky, stretching seemingly endlessly!

"Purple Qi from the East?!" Hui Shi could not help but exclaim.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with shock. He hurriedly turned to look in the direction of the inner hall and saw Cui Heng holding an Immortal Sword, his entire body enveloped in purple light.

Chen Tong also noticed the abnormality outside and immediately rushed out. He raised his head to look at the sky, and Purple Qi from the East entered his eyes, revealing mystery and nobility.

At the same time, everyone in Lu County saw the phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the sky.

Whether it was the local commoners, the people who followed Cui Heng from Juhe County, or the merchants who were just here, all of them saw the boundless Purple Qi floating over from the Eastern sky.

For a moment, the entire Lu County was in an uproar.

"An auspicious sign! This is an auspicious sign! Purple Qi from the East, the descent of a Sage! Our Lu County has a Sage!"

"It's Lord Governor. It's definitely Lord Governor! Lord Governor established a new government policy to benefit the people, shocking the Heavens and the Heavens sent down auspicious signs!"

"That's right, it must be the Governor! Only a great Lord like the Governor can make the Heavens send down auspicious signs!"

"Purple Qi from the East, the descent of a Sage. Lord Governor is indeed a Saint sent by the Heavens to save us commoners!"

Countless citizens cheered at the sky, all incomparably excited.

Some even knelt down on the spot and kowtowed in the direction of the county governor's office.

After the first person knelt, more and more people fell to their knees. In an extremely short period of time, almost everyone in Lu County knelt down.

Like the most devout believers, they bowed in the direction of the county governor's office.

In fact, in the past few days, the citizens of Lu County had been living in fear.

Although the greedy merchants' businesses had been raided and the forces of the aristocratic families and sects had been eliminated, and the people's lives were much better… while they were extremely grateful to Cui Heng, they were very worried that Cui Heng's ruthless methods would attract revenge from the powerful forces in the world.

But this sudden auspicious sign represented the recognition of the Heavens for Cui Heng's actions in the eyes of the commoners, greatly increasing their confidence in him.

Therefore, the gratitude they had been accumulating towards Cui Heng for the past few days finally had a chance and courage to erupt..
