Chapter 533 Sunset Cloud Valley

Sitting in another courtyard, Luo Gu Ming listened to the noise coming from outside the window and sighed deeply.

Luo Gu Ming , who had been a golden-robed swordsman in the Sword Handling Pavilion for five years, was currently in an extremely awkward situation. This kind of situation could be described by the proverb "Pig Eight Commandments Looking in the Mirror".

Nangong Jing listed him as a dangerous person and threw him into the hands of Xu Han, whose senses were not very good for him. Along with him, there were many other swordsmen who had also been labeled as dangerous.

Actually, Luo Gu Ming didn't think this was a bad idea. After all, for the current Sword Handling Pavilion, it couldn't withstand any changes under the swaying wind and rain.

But to him, it was very embarrassing.

He was over fifty years old, and he had risked his life to seize the seat of the golden-robed swordsman in the swordsman competition five years ago, not for some grand goal like reaching the Immortal Realm with Origin Demonic Energy. Luo Gu Ming , who had barely managed to break through to the Great Evolution Realm by relying on his sect's medicinal pills, knew his talent very well. Even if he obtained the Essence Demonic Energy, ascending to the Immortal Realm was still a miraculous sight for him. It seemed like he was close at hand, but in reality, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

He only wanted to stabilize the position of the golden-robed swordsman and buy more time for his sect and for his younger brother, who had once been praised as a genius of Great Xia.

As the Sunset Cloud Valley of the three sects and twelve towns of Great Xia, its identity and status had been on the verge of collapse since the accidental death of an immortal more than ten years ago. Luo Gu Ming and his younger brother Luo Mo had been ordered to swear in front of their deceased master that they would preserve the legacy of Sunset Cloud Valley.

The two brothers endured the humiliation, made many sacrifices, and made many efforts. Of course, they also knew that whether it was to curry favor or give up their benefits, they could only survive. The only way for Sunset Cloud Valley to truly preserve its legacy in the immortal-filled Great Xia Jianghu was for another immortal to successfully survive the tribulation.

Luo Gu Ming 's younger brother, Luo Moyi, who was once praised as a genius of the heavens, was given such high hopes from then on.

This is, of course, a very difficult matter, Before reaching the Immortal Dimension, no one dared to say who could really accomplish this. In order to fulfill their promise to their dead master, Luo Gu Ming and the other two brothers began to carefully look around the Great Xia Jianghu in order to buy Luo Mo a small amount of time to reach the Immortal Dimension.

However, the troubles in this world were never uninvited. The law of the jungle applies everywhere.

About six years ago, the twelfth year after the previous Sect Leader of Sunset Cloud Valley had fallen, the Scarlet Firmament Sect's Sect Leader Xie Min Yu came to Sunset Cloud Valley in the name of worshipping his old friend. The entire Sunset Cloud Valley seemed to be facing a great enemy. They put on the most solemn posture to welcome this immortal who had lived for nearly three hundred years. After a cliche greeting, Xie Min Yu finally wanted to see the dagger and told him the purpose of his trip.

He wanted to use Sunset Cloud Valley's Blessed Land, Cloud Devouring Valley, as a place for a Great Evolution Realm expert from his Crimson Firmament Sect to cross the tribulation.

The so-called Blessed Land was a place with abundant Spiritual Qi that was extremely beneficial to one's cultivation.

For a sect of the Grand Xia, the 12 towns of the Three Gates had one or more of these blissful places. He could increase the speed of cultivators by several times or even dozens of times. For every sect, it was extremely important. It was not too much to say that the sect was settling down. This was especially true for Sunset Cloud Valley, which desperately needed an immortal to protect its sect's dao heritage.

Everyone knew that the Immortal Crossing Tribulation that Xie Min Yu had mentioned was an extremely important step for every cultivator.

Success is transcendence, great carefree, great freedom, defeat is the destruction of the soul, the death of the Dao dissipation.

Therefore, any cultivator who took this step was cautious, as if they were treading on thin ice. Without absolute confidence, no one dared to take this step easily.

Hence, the tribulation that Xie Min Yu had mentioned became an empty concept. It can be several decades long, but only a few months short. However, it was clear that the Crimson Firmament Sect's plan

It was obvious that the former cultivator's tribulation was fake, and it was true that he had invaded the only remaining blessed land in Sunset Cloud Valley.

Once this compromise was made, it was very likely that the Crimson Firmament Sect would become even more fierce. Step by step, they would completely devour the legacy of the Sunset Cloud Valley, or even completely make the Sunset Cloud Valley a subordinate of the Crimson Firmament Sect.

Of course, this was not what Luo Gu Ming and Luo Mo wanted to see, but they had to refuse this request in as tactful a way as possible.

After a series of coercion and temptation failed, Xie Min Yu angrily left. After that, the Crimson Firmament Sect, or those sects that were close to the Crimson Firmament Sect, began to stir up trouble with Sunset Cloud Valley on various matters.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the more than ten years since that immortal died in Sunset Cloud Valley. From snatching an extraordinary disciple to eroding the sect's sphere of influence, it was already a common occurrence in Sunset Cloud Valley. However, before this happened, although many sects acted unkindly, they still cared about eating beautifully.

After receiving some instructions, these sects acted blatantly. Most of the time, they didn't even bother to find a grand excuse.

However, even if they were bullied again and suffered more humiliation, Luo Gu Ming and the other two had no choice but to bite their teeth and restrain the disciples in the sect and swallow their anger.

They knew very well that ever since they rejected Xie Min Yu's offer, the Cactus Sect had been killing them. However, he lacked the reputation of being a dignified exterminator of the Sunset Cloud Valley. Once the Sunset Cloud Valley clashed head-on with any faction, Xie Min Yu could take advantage of this to attack the Sunset Cloud Valley.

After that, the word endure became the main tone of Sunset Cloud Valley. However, this was far from enough. Not only were the interests and powers of Sunset Cloud Valley destroyed, but also the confidence of ordinary disciples in the sect. If a sect could not protect its own disciples, how could the disciples shed their blood for the sect?

In order to preserve the future flames of these sects, and to buy Luo Mo more time, Luo Gu Ming, who was not outstanding in talent, continued to drain his meridians. He even paid the price to leave behind hidden dangers for his own body, The price of losing one's lifespan was to devour an enormous amount of medicinal pills and forcefully raise one's cultivation to the Great Evolution Realm. As a result, he passed the test of the last Swordsman Competition and became a golden-robed swordsman. With this identity, although it might not be able to change the difficult situation of Sunset Cloud Valley, it could somewhat take care of him.

However, this calm had changed since the last Swordsman Competition.

Originally, Luo Mo thought that the generous conditions offered by the Swordsman Conference would be a turning point for Sunset Cloud Valley's predicament, but Luo Mo was surprised to lose in the first round of the competition. This kind of blow was huge for both Sunset Cloud Valley and Luo Mo himself. However, Luo Gu Ming , as an elder brother, was very clear about the pressure Luo Mo had endured over the years. He did not blame Luo Mo, instead, he encouraged him carefully. However, after experiencing these things, Luo Mo's temperament became weird. He became more and more silent, making Luo Gu Ming unable to understand his thoughts.

However, there was a saying that misfortune never comes alone, as if the heavens had deliberately played a joke on them.

Luo Mo had successively lost the opportunity to cross the tribulation and become an immortal, while Xie Min Yu of the Crimson Firmament Sect had broken through the third lightning tribulation as if he had divine help. His lifespan had increased by another hundred, and his cultivation had risen by leaps and bounds. He had the faint posture of becoming the head of the Grand Xia Immortals. Naturally, to Xie Min Yu, his goal was no longer a small Sunset Cloud Valley. He began to attack the Sword Handling Pavilion, trying to bring down this colossus that had truly ruled Great Xia's Jianghu for decades.

To Sunset Cloud Valley, where no immortal had appeared, this was both a calamity and an opportunity.

The calamity lay in the fact that Sunset Cloud Valley, which had no immortals, did not have the capital to temporarily choose to sit on the sidelines like other sects. The opportunity lay in the fact that if they chose the right mountain, once they won, Sunset Cloud Valley would most likely receive more breathing space.

However, Luo Gu Ming and the Luo Mo brothers, who had worked together for more than ten years, had a dispute over which side to choose.

In Yu Luo's eyes, compared to the Scarlet Firmament Sect that had long been harboring evil intentions, it was no different from trying to plot against a tiger's skin. Even if the other party had truly won the final victory, he would probably do something to tear down the bridge. The Sword Handling Pavilion had always acted fairly. Although there were rumors that Pavilion Master Xiao regarded wealth as his life, he did not do anything out of line. Therefore, it was reasonable for the Sword Handling Pavilion to be the best bet for the Sunset Cloud Valley that concerned the life and death of the sect.

However, what Luo Gusheng didn't expect was that Luo Mo, who had always hated the Crimson Firmament Sect to the bone, had a completely different attitude towards this matter. He actually intentionally favoured the Crimson Firmament Sect. The two brothers had a big quarrel over this. In the end, they broke up unhappily. It was precisely because no one was able to convince anyone that Sunset Cloud Valley temporarily chose the neutrality that should not be chosen the most.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Gu Ming , who had won the trust of Xiao Ran and Nangong Jing, was thrown into Xu Han's mansion. Moreover, because of his previous performance of being too loyal to the Sword Handling Pavilion, Luo Gu Ming was excluded from the group of swordsmen who were destined to break with the Sword Handling Pavilion.

However, Luo Gu Ming was someone who had seen the world before, He didn't really care about his own predicament, He was just worried that Sunset Cloud Valley without immortals would not choose to be neutral like those sects. If they did not stand in line and did not have the protection of their backers, as long as the battle between the two truly broke out, Sunset Cloud Valley would most likely be taken care of by one of the two sides. This was not difficult for either side.

However, standing in the Crimson Firmament Sect's first team was really hard for Luo Gu to accept. He frowned again and thought that perhaps he could find an opportunity to return to the sect and talk openly with his younger brother. After all, the sooner this matter was decided, the better it would be for Sunset Cloud Valley.

Thinking about this, Luo Gu Ming calmed down the worry in his heart. Luo Gu Ming thought that Luo Mo's recent anomaly was probably due to his previous defeat. He believed that as long as he calmed down, with Luo Mo's mind, it shouldn't be difficult for him to understand this problem.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

However, at this moment, a knock suddenly came from the direction of the door.

"Who?" Luo Gu Ming 's heart tightened. Logically speaking, it was already past 11 o'clock, and no one should come looking for him.

"Elder Luo, it's me." At that moment, a familiar voice came from the direction of the door.

"Huh?" Luo Gu Ming 's expression changed. He could tell from that voice that the person who came was an inner disciple of his sect. This person was called Huang Yu. Although his talent was not good, he was loyal and loyal to the sect. Therefore, he was entrusted with the task of finding out more information. Now that he had suddenly appeared here, he was afraid that something big had happened.

Thinking of this, Luo Gu Ming hurriedly opened the door and pulled Huang Yu, who was standing at the door, into the room. His expression darkened at that time and he asked, "Why did you come to my place so late? Did something happen to Luo Mo?"

Ever since Luo Mo lost the swordsman contest, the situation had become somewhat strange. Luo Gu Ming 's worries at this moment were not without reason.

As for Huang Yu, who was in his early thirties, he seemed to be rushing too quickly, so he spoke intermittently at this moment, "Luo… Luo Zhangzhang taught him… he…"

"What's wrong with him?" Luo Gu Ming saw the growing unease in his heart and hurriedly asked.

"He … he … passed the heavenly tribulation!" Huang Yu held back for a long time before finally swallowing the breath that he had yet to catch.

However, Luo Gu Ming was obviously unable to accept the sudden news. He was stunned and asked, "What?"

Seeing this, Huang Yu had no choice but to repeat, "The Allheaven Palm Sect has ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

This time, Luo Gu Ming heard it very clearly, but he still stood there in a daze for a few breaths before coming back to his senses. Then, he seemed to be unable to accept the sudden good news and couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

Huang Yu seemed to have anticipated Luo Gu Ming 's reaction. He patted his thigh and said anxiously, "Elder Luo, although I, Huang Yu, am usually smiling, how dare I joke about such a big matter that concerns the rise and fall of a sect?" The day before yesterday, Sect Leader Luo successfully crossed the tribulation and arrived at the Immortal Realm. I estimate that this news will spread to the Horizontal Imperial City tomorrow. I came to inform the elders of this good news in advance on the orders of the Sect Leader. "

Hearing this, Luo Gu Ming finally confirmed that everything he heard was true, not his dreams. His face, which was obviously much older than his actual age due to being too worried, finally revealed an expression of ecstasy.

His upper and lower lips trembled as he muttered to himself, "The sect's inheritance has been preserved … The Sunset Cloud Valley is saved … Master, this disciple finally has the face to meet you in the underworld …"

As the man in his fifties spoke, his deep eyes began to turn red.

Huang Yu, who was standing at the side, saw all of this and understood that Luo Mo and Luo Gu Ming , who had suffered many grievances over the years, also felt a little sad. However, he quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said again, "Elder, there is still good news."

"Huh?"

"Sect Leader Luo and Scarlet Firmament Sect Immortal Elder Wu Mingqiu's daughter will be married in Sunset Cloud Valley in three days."
