<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1140: Fulfilling the Promise

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this scene, everyone present was filled with shock.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"There really are demons, and so many of them!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This Su Jingzhen really is something. He accomplished something even Sword Master couldn’t do?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Though I have to admit, the way he plays with fire is quite mesmerizing."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a moment of silence, the Sword Land disciples began to discuss among themselves.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Many of them, who had previously been nervous, now looked at Su Jingzhen with fervor and admiration.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, this was something that even the Sword Master, an Immortal Emperor of the 7th Stage, couldn't achieve.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, countless female disciples secretly pledged their hearts to him, their eyes filled with envy as they glanced at Lin Ying, Zhang Xiu, and Qiu Yaoyao who stood beside Su Jingzhen in the void.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Originally, sword cultivators were known for their cold and aloof demeanor, but now, many female disciples felt their hearts flutter.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They couldn’t help but want to flirt with Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Hahaha, very good! There are so many of them! Since you’ve come, don’t think about leaving!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, seeing the core disciples in the square who were in pain and emitting demonic energy, Sword Master curled his lips into a cold smile.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without any hesitation, he clenched his hand in the air.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The figures of those people were lifted into the void.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then, without any surprise, they were crushed into a mist of blood.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Their true souls were completely obliterated.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They were given no chance of rebirth.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The number of such individuals was as high as fifty-six!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Compared to the millions of people in the square, this number may seem insignificant.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But you have to remember that they were Starry Sky Demons. Those who remained in this realm were mostly those who had died in battle here and were reincarnated in this realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, the fact that they could hide themselves so well indicated that their memories had been fully awakened.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If there were more than fifty who had managed to become the core disciples of Sword Land, how many others hadn't awakened their memories or were recruited by Sword Land?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">How many were there in the entire Emperor's Realm, in the entire cultivation world?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was undoubtedly an unimaginable number.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It truly made one sigh, times had indeed changed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Young Friend Su, in your perception, are there still demons present?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After destroying those fifty or more demons, Sword Master and the others turned their gaze back to Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Their expressions were full of anticipation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Among the methods that Yuan Shi and the Ming Long had taught Su Jingzhen, the simplest was to use these flames to detect demons.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After personally experiencing the power of the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame, Yuan Shi was certain that any Starry Sky Demon below the level of Immortal Lord would never be able to withstand it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The combination of Flesh and Blood Fire and Seven-Colored Purifying Flame would essentially clear out most of them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In fact, Yuan Shi had also taught Su Jingzhen another method.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">That was for Su Jingzhen to directly absorb the power of the demons, become demonized, and then sense his kin.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">That would be more accurate.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But Su Jingzhen did not use that method.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, if he were to openly display the pure power of demons in front of the world, how would countless cultivators in the immortal realm view him?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He would probably be pushed to the forefront of the controversy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With many enemies, if they used this as a point of attack, it would undoubtedly bring significant trouble.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thus, Su Jingzhen simply shook his head at the Sword Master.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I happen to possess these two flames that can suppress these demonic entities. That is already the extent of my abilities. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If we still can't root them out completely, perhaps there are none left."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master nodded and said nothing more.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If even he couldn't achieve it, Su Jingzhen's current efforts were already more than enough.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This time, all of Sword Land owes a debt of gratitude to Young Friend Su."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, the Sword Master, along with the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Fourth Elder, solemnly bowed to Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Su Jingzhen was once again shaken.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was confident that his future would place him at the pinnacle of this world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But for now, he was merely a small physical spirit saint.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">How could he bear the bow of four top-tier figures? He slightly sidestepped to avoid it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This scene caused countless core disciples below to be completely astonished.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was already an immense honor to have the Sword Master seek his help.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, even the Sword Master was bowing before him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">What kind of honor was that? They dared not even imagine it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time, in their eyes, Sword Master and the elders had truly shown Su Jingzhen the utmost respect.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the cultivation world, Su Jingzhen was already a prominent figure. Now, in the Emperor Realm, he had become one as well.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen smiled slightly, turning his gaze to Zhang Xiu.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then he said to the Sword Master and the others, "These are all matters within my duty. Sword Master, you need not take it to heart."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He wanted to say, "Your ancestor is already my women."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But such a statement was too bold, and he didn't dare to voice it out.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, the Sword Master also looked at Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying and nodded with a smile.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying's identities, the Immortal Emperor level elders had already confirmed them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, given that Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying's cultivation was only at the Immortal Lord level, they couldn't openly announce it to the sect.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, once the affairs of Sword Land were completely settled, there were indeed matters that Sword Master needed to discuss with Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying, or perhaps seek their guidance.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sword Master, the following matters should be the internal affairs of Sword Land. I have no further role here. I'll take my leave now. If you have any orders, feel free to call me at any time."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's role in coming here was limited to this.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After informing the Sword Master, who nodded slightly without further comment, Su Jingzhen returned to Zhang Xiu and the others.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before he even reached them, lines of golden text appeared in front of his eyes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His earlier act of using flames to identify demons had truly left the women in awe.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Every move Su Jingzhen made seemed more and more mysterious to Qiu Yaoyao and the others, making him even more enigmatic in their eyes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qiu Yaoyao, Shengana, and Zhang Xiu each provided a triple boost to Su Jingzhen’s emotional connection.

[Remaining Available Points: 26,030]

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the influx of points, Su Jingzhen was filled with excitement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The 3,000-plus points he had spent to upgrade his Fire Spiritual Roots to Emperor-grade now seemed trivial.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Three thousand points? Sometimes, with a good performance, he could earn that back in a single day.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">...

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying led everyone back to her courtyard within Sword Land's headquarters.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with complexity, while Su Jingzhen felt both nervous and expectant.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was nervous about what the Sword Master might say about Bai Suzhen after he dealt with these matters.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">What he looked forward to was fulfilling a promise he had made back in Qingzhou's Linjiang City.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The next moment, a streak of light flashed through the courtyard.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was Li Lingxi, who had arrived with Ning Yao.
