Li Guanqi’s murmurs slowly spread out.

Immediately, all the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect who were flying on their swords turned solemn!

In low voices, they murmured, “No regrets in this life, joining the Great Xia!”

At this moment, these whispers converged into a torrent, sweeping in all directions!

The spirit of a sect condensed into a roaring river in the sky!

Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts!

Many rogue cultivators looked on with envy.

The unity displayed by the Great Xia Sword Sect was something they had never experienced.

The feeling of having a backing and not fighting alone struck their hearts.

At this moment, Lu Kangnian also walked out from the treasure hall.

There was an unprecedented ambition in his eyes.

It was the determination to strengthen the sect!

Clutching the storage ring in his hand, he looked at the disciples in the sky with burning eyes, listening to their murmurs.

He felt immense pride!

All the disciples turned to look at the man surrounded by sword light.

Lu Kangnian’s throat moved slightly, suppressing his excitement, and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go! We’re going home!”

At this moment, everyone smiled.

Yes, going home.

Facing the Purple Sun Hall, which was several times stronger than the Great Xia Sword Sect, they had won.

They had won openly and decisively.

All the disciples orderly stepped into the teleportation formation to return to the sect.

Li Guanqi also stepped onto the teleportation formation among the many senior brothers and sisters of Heavenly Thunder Peak.

On the way, Li Guanqi’s emotions were turbulent, but the attitudes of his fellow disciples, senior brothers, and sisters, and even the sect’s high-ranking members, made him feel incredibly reassured.

That feeling clearly told him that even if it wasn’t him, Li Guanqi, the sect would still have acted without hesitation!

This was the first time Li Guanqi felt a sense of belonging.

After a long time, everyone finally returned to the familiar Great Xia Sword Sect.

However, upon returning to the sect, the first thing Lu Kangnian did was announce the reward given by the Northern Heavenly King, Long Qu, to everyone!

Buzz!!!

A massive spirit vein, hundreds of meters long, suddenly appeared in the sky!!

In an instant, the spiritual energy within the Great Xia Sword Sect became incredibly active, even forming a thin layer of spiritual mist above the plaza!

Seeing this scene, many disciples looked excited!

A high-grade spirit vein!

Even the Purple Sun Hall only had two high-grade spirit veins.

Lu Kangnian, in front of all the disciples, placed the massive spirit vein on Heavenly Pillar Peak!

Because there was a formation there that could spread the spiritual energy in all directions.

Lu Kangnian said in a deep voice, “In the next hundred years, except for some extremely core Ascension Platforms.”

“The purpose of this spirit vein is to comprehensively enhance your strength and realms!”

These words greatly motivated all the disciples.

They had thought such a precious spirit vein would never be for their use.

If this spirit vein were given to the Golden Elixir Realm and Elemental Infant Realm Elders, it would surely be more effective.

But Lu Kangnian, without hesitation, chose to give the entire spirit vein to the disciples!

Because he knew that if a sect wanted to prosper for a long time, its foundation lay in these young disciples.

Boom!!!

Lu Kangnian raised one hand, and a massive blue screen instantly enveloped the entire Great Xia Sword Sect!

Lu Kangnian looked at everyone and said, “You all must have experienced the battle with the Purple Sun Hall today.”

“That’s right! We won!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples below the platform erupted in cheers!

It was known that the Great Xia Sword Sect had always appeared to the outside world as a very peculiar sect.

Clearly not very powerful, yet with a lot of rules, no one knew why the Great Xia Sword Sect insisted on those so-called rules.

But now, all the sect disciples finally deeply understood the sect’s creed!!

Among them were some Elders who had been in the sect for decades, even centuries.

Some middle-aged Golden Elixir Realm disciples had tears in their eyes, murmuring softly, “Perhaps… this is the true meaning of the sect’s creed!”

The man let the disciples below cheer with raised arms.

Then he turned to look at the silent young man.

In a gentle voice, he said softly, “You all might have learned some things.”

“But I want to say, from beginning to end, Li Guanqi did nothing wrong!”

“Some might say, why couldn’t he wait until after the competition for the top spot to explode.”

Lu Kangnian paused, then looked at Li Guanqi and said softly.

“Guanqi, tell me why.”

Li Guanqi opened his mouth, pondered for a long time, and then spoke softly.

“The sect spent resources to cultivate me, and I originally wanted to endure.”

“But I thought for a long time, the anger in my heart burning my chest, and I still couldn’t endure it.”

“Because… after the competition for the top spot, those people from the Purple Sun Hall would leave with the sect Elders.”

“The matter of them injuring Sui’an… would probably just end without resolution.”

Saying this, Li Guanqi slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Kangnian, speaking in a deep voice.

“Why.”

“Because I was afraid… I was afraid I couldn’t kill all those beasts!!”

His passionate voice rang out, firm and full of killing intent.

Countless people looked at him with changing expressions!

Lu Kangnian raised his hand and said in a deep voice, “Perhaps… even so, many of you might still think he was reckless.”

“But I tell you, we swordsmen should be like this!”

“Once you have made up your mind, draw your sword without hesitation!”

“And… don’t forget one thing!”

Lu Kangnian stepped into the void, walking to the center of everyone!

His sharp eyes swept around, looking at those still somewhat immature faces, and said in a low voice.

“It was him who initiated the Inferno Challenge, standing alone with a sword in front of hundreds of sects!”

“In front of everyone, he dragged the Great Xia Sword Sect, which should have been eliminated long ago, step by step to the top spot!”

The man pointed at Li Guanqi below, looking at the young man with a pained expression, and shouted loudly.

“Do you know what he looked like when he came down from the stage back then?”

“At most, he had over sixty sword wounds on his body! Over sixty wounds!!”

“There wasn’t a single piece of good flesh on his upper body!”

“Even if he hadn’t brought the sect to the top spot, so what?”

“For the sect, he has done more than enough!”

Boom!!!

An unparalleled, powerful pressure erupted from the man’s body.

The pressure enveloped all directions, stirring the wind and clouds, and his white robe fluttered in the wind!

“So, what’s wrong with leaving the rest to us!! The mere Purple Sun Hall, what does our Great Xia Sword Sect have to fear!!”
