The black-robed man handed the Fire Dragon Sword to Zhou Yun.

At this moment, the Fire Dragon Sword had returned to its scabbard, and the aura of the spiritual sword had already been restrained.

“It hides and does not reveal its edge which is hidden in the heart. It does not make a sound, but it shocks the world with a single sound made. This is what the Fire Dragon Sword is! Every time the sword is wielded, it will bring along the Fire Sword Intent. If an ordinary cultivator obtains the sword, it’s like obtaining a treasure weapon which increases his combat power. However, if the person has already comprehended the Fire Sword Intent, it will reduce the person’s consumption of spiritual energy to a terrifying limit!” the black-robed man said as he handed the Fire Dragon Sword to Zhou Yun.

“This top-notch spiritual weapon, the Fire Dragon Sword, is good enough to be ranked in the top ten of the desolate war weapon ranking list!” After the black-robed man finished speaking, he left.

Zhou Yun held the Fire Dragon Sword with both his hands. He felt all the spiritual energy in his body boiling and cheering. It was as if the Fire Dragon Sword was tailor-made for him and was extremely compatible with him!

Zhou Yun did not even need to activate the perfection of the Fire Sword Intent. The scorching and terrifying Fire Sword Intent slowly attached itself to the Fire Dragon Sword. He didn’t even feel the slightest loss of spiritual energy in his body!

Zhou Yun kept the Fire Dragon Sword at his waist with satisfaction.

At the same time, he was curious about what the black-robed man had just said.

What kind of desolate war weapon ranking list was this?

“Senior Sister Su, what is the desolate war weapon ranking list? Do you know?” Zhou Yun asked. He was still too inexperienced, and there were still too many things within the five sects that he didn’t know.

“Places in the wilderness where there is no spiritual energy are called desolate. Fighting in these places will consume spiritual energy, and there is no way to replenish it.

“Weapons with low consumption of spiritual energy and high combat power are the favorite weapons of cultivators in the desolate war! As for desolate war techniques, they are also what I want to teach you. They are techniques for fighting in places that lack spiritual energy.” Su Lingyun explained. At the same time, she was a little envious.

A desolate war weapon ranking list had been established for a thousand years. However, there were tens of thousands of weapons in the world. And only a few thousand weapons could make it to the desolate war weapon ranking list.

In fact, the list of the top 100 weapons had not changed for a hundred years!

Su Lingyun did not expect Zhou Yun to obtain one of the top ten weapons on the desolate war weapon ranking list. This made her feel that the spiritual sword she had been using was no longer as useful as before!

Zhou Yun gradually understood what desolate war meant. He did not expect Venerable Xunling to have gifted him such a good weapon!

“This might be a test. He let me obtain an extremely powerful spiritual sword and then spread the news about me so that I could leave the Treasure Pavilion and break through the encirclement of the cultivators!” Zhou Yun seemed to have understood Venerable Xunling’s intention.

A heaven’s prodigy, besides having a smooth cultivation process, also needed to have extremely strong combat power!

Venerable Xunling was testing his strength!

“However, in the Treasure Pavilion, there are not only a large number of Qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators. Many golden core cultivators have also come to buy natural materials and treasures. If they were to attack, even if I had two top-notch spiritual weapons and the perfection of sword intent, I wouldn’t be able to put up a fight!” Zhou Yun started to get nervous!

Golden core grand cultivators were the pillars of a sect. They were far stronger than the foundation establishment cultivators who had been transformed!

“Don’t worry, the golden core cultivators won’t do anything.” Su Lingyun seemed to be able to see Zhou Yun’s worry and comforted him.

“This is a rule set by the five sects. If a golden core grand cultivator bullies the weak, they will be sold. Killing him was also for the sake of the five sects’ future. After all, the five sects occupy the most top-notch resources and have the most number of prodigies. Naturally, they’re most afraid of being ambushed by the golden core grand cultivators.”

Zhou Yun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Su Lingyun’s explanation.

“Let’s prepare to break out of the Treasure Pavilion. Things may change if there’s a delay. Although the golden core cultivators cannot attack, it was only applicable to the rogue cultivators and small forces. The five sects wouldn’t fall for this! Let’s get out of here now!” When Su Lingyun saw that Zhou Yun had put on the Fire Dragon Sword, she opened the bag on the table and took out the defensive spiritual weapon for him to put on.

The two of them quickly left the private room through a small path!

When Zhou Yun put on the defensive spiritual weapon, he felt a cooling sensation. The defensive spiritual weapon was as thin as a cicada’s wings and was hidden right underneath his skin!

Zhou Yun could now feel that his simple punch was even more powerful than before! He could even catch other people’s swords with his bare hands!

“This top-notch defensive spiritual weapon not only has an extremely strong defensive power, but it also has this function!” Zhou Yun was taken aback. The moment he put on the defensive spiritual weapon, all of its functions were instantly transmitted into his mind. At this moment, it was as if he had taken a tranquilizer pill, and his confidence suddenly increased greatly!

Zhou Yun followed Su Lingyun through the secret passage of the private room swiftly.

This secret passage led directly to the outside of the Treasure Pavilion. It was a passage often chosen by many cultivators who had purchased rare natural materials and treasures!

The direction of the secret passage leading toward was different each time so that the people who wanted to snatch the treasures could not guess where the exit would be!

Personal fights were not allowed in the Treasure Pavilion, but it was different outside of the Treasure Pavilion!

“This way, the exit is right in front. Once we get out, we’ll directly board the Cloud Boat!” Su Lingyun’s shout made Zhou Yun remain focused!

Just as Zhou Yun reached the exit, he leaped and a Cloud Boat appeared in the air. He lowered his body and just nice to step onto it!

“Let’s go!” Su Lingyun shouted as the spiritual energy of her body poured into the Cloud Boat crazily!

In an instant, the Cloud Boat burst forth with a speed that Zhou Yun had never seen before. Its speed was even faster than when Zhou Yun had fully mastered the sword control technique!

The Cloud Boat was like a ray of light. It swiftly escaped from a corner of the Treasure Pavilion!

However, the next moment, hundreds of spiritual boats rose into the air from the edge of the Treasure Pavilion! They were chasing after them at a speed that was not much slower than the Cloud Boat!

For a moment, hundreds of rays of light were flowing in the sky during the day!

The most dazzling ray of light was speeding in front, and hundreds of rays of light were chasing closely behind, not letting go!

Even though the Cloud Boat at the very front suddenly disappeared into the clouds, freely shuttling through the clouds in the sky, occasionally changing directions, it still couldn’t shake off the several hundred rays of light behind it!

Zhou Yun looked at the rays of light that were slowly approaching and then at Su Lingyun, who was gritting her teeth and constantly activating her spiritual energy. He felt that he couldn’t just sit and wait for death! He had to do something to help.

Suddenly, Zhou Yun touched the Fire Dragon Sword on his waist and an idea flashed into his mind.

Zhou Yun smiled. He had found a way to help them get out of this crisis!

“D*mn it! If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been enjoying myself and bought a spiritual battle boat that could run fast!” Su Lingyun looked at the rays of light that were approaching their backs and regretted that she didn’t buy a spiritual battle boat that could fight!

“What are you doing?” Suddenly, Su Lingyun saw Zhou Yun carrying the Fire Dragon Sword and walking toward the back of the spiritual boat. Su Lingyun asked curiously.

“You know, I once played a game called air fighter.” Zhou Yun pulled out the Fire Dragon Sword and laughed evilly.
