When Sun Gongping had just returned to the Ten Nations Continent from the Demon Realm, the Spring Embroidered Saber had contributed greatly to his ability to establish himself in the ownerless land so quickly.
He knew very well that if not for the Spring Embroidered Saber, he would have died in all kinds of battles, let alone breaking through to the first rank of the Martial Dao in such a short time.
Although Sun Gongping had received a hero invitation and had come to attend the conference, to be honest, he didn't have much hope of obtaining a connate divine weapon.
He had only come to see how many heroes there were in this world.
At the same time, he wanted to find out news about Zhou Shu.
Just as Sun Gongping was looking around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. His pupils constricted slightly, and he frowned.
He saw Lu Wenshuang. Beside Lu Wenshuang was a rather handsome young man.

Sun Gongping knew about Lu Wenshuang's relationship with Zhou Shu. He prided himself on being Zhou Shu's best brother. Seeing his brother's woman being so close to another man, he immediately felt angry.
He ignored everything else and took a few steps forward. He arrived in front of Lu Wenshuang and forcefully inserted himself between her and the young man.
"Yo, isn't this Little Lu?" Sun Gongping said.
"Sun Gongping, are you looking for a beating?" Lu Wenshuang's expression darkened. Who are you to call me Little Lu? In this world, only two people can call me Little Lu!
"What? Do you want to hit me when we meet after such a long time? Or are you afraid of seeing me?" Sun Gongping pursed his lips.
Sun Gongping was no longer the same as before. He was now a first-rank martial artist.
"That's right. My brother's whereabouts are unknown, so you can get so close to another man. I, Sun Gongping, am nothing. It's normal if you want to silence me." Sun Gongping's words were extremely mean.
Clang!
Before he could finish, a sword was already pressed against his neck.
"Sun Gongping, if you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Lu Wenshuang said coldly with a frosty expression.
"Junior Sister Lu, where did this loafer come from? Do you need me to help you teach him a lesson?" the young man walking with Lu Wenshuang suddenly said.
"No need," Lu Wenshuang declined. "This is between him and me. It has nothing to do with you, Senior Brother Tang."
Sun Gongping turned to look at the young man and said coldly, "Did you hear that? It has nothing to do with you. Get lost."
Senior Brother Tang's face darkened, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Junior Sister Lu, it has something to do with me now.
"You were rude to me. You deserve a beating."
He moved to slap Sun Gongping's face.
This blow might not be fatal, but being slapped in public was extremely insulting.
Swoosh!
The edge of the Tianya Magical Sword in Lu Wenshuang's hand stood upright and slashed at Senior Brother Tang's palm.
The sword qi was so sharp that Senior Brother Tang had no choice but to retract his palm.
"Junior Sister Lu, what are you doing?" Senior Brother Tang frowned slightly.
"Senior Brother Tang, Sun Gongping is my friend. His character is as such. You're a magnanimous person. Don't hold it against him."
"Bullshit! Do you think I'm afraid he'll hold it against me?" Sun Gongping cursed. "Come on if you have the ability. I'm not afraid of you. Let's fight for three hundred rounds!"
Senior Brother Tang's face darkened. "Junior Sister Lu, move aside."
He stepped lightly, and a powerful aura soared into the sky.
Lu Wenshuang frowned slightly. She stepped forward and stood in front of Sun Gongping with the Tianya Magical Sword raised.
"Senior Brother Tang, I won't let you hurt him," Lu Wenshuang said firmly.
Lu Wenshuang knew very well that Senior Brother Tang was an Earth Immortal, while Sun Gongping was only a first-rank martial artist. The difference between the two was more than a hundred times.
Sun Gongping couldn't even withstand a single move from Senior Brother Tang.
Lu Wenshuang and Sun Gongping were only arguing. It was impossible for her to let Senior Brother Tang really hurt Sun Gongping. Otherwise, how would she explain it to Zhou Shu?
"Get out of the way. I don't need your hypocritical mercy!" Sun Gongping said angrily.
He took out the Spring Embroidered Saber and scolded Senior Brother Tang, "Have you never seen a woman before? Why are you so close to someone else's woman? If you've never seen a woman before, go home and see your mother!"
Lu Wenshuang was embarrassed and angry. Damn you, Sun Gongping. Don't you know our mission?
Why are you making a fuss in front of so many people?
If this matter really blows up, how will it end?
Senior Brother Tang's face darkened as he snorted. "Junior Sister Lu, if you don't move away, don't blame me for taking action."
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Lu Wenshuang with one hand.
Lu Wenshuang's expression was firm. Just as she was about to attack, a gust of wind suddenly blew past. Then Senior Brother Tang was sent flying tens of meters away like a kite with a broken string and landed on the ground with a bang.
"You're so arrogant. I thought you were strong, but it turns out you're just a pretty face." A voice sounded in Lu Wenshuang and Sun Gongping's ears, and an unfamiliar figure appeared in front of them.
It was a man with an extremely ordinary appearance and height. There was almost nothing distinctive about him. He was the type of person that couldn't be found in a crowd.
But it was this person who had sent Senior Brother Tang flying with a single move.
Lu Wenshuang was stunned. She had sparred with Senior Brother Tang and knew that she was far from being his match. This ordinary man actually defeated Senior Brother Tang in one move. Didn't this mean that he didn't even need to use one move to defeat her?
As Lu Wenshuang was thinking, she suddenly felt a hand pinch her chin.
"Little girl, you're not bad-looking. Be my wife." The ordinary man reached out and touched Lu Wenshuang's pretty face.
"Bastard! Let go!" Two angry shouts sounded at the same time. One was Lu Wenshuang's voice, and the other was Sun Gongping's.
A saber and a sword slashed at the man's chest simultaneously.
"Haha, are you trying to murder your husband?" The ordinary man laughed and dodged their attacks. His figure flashed behind Lu Wenshuang like a ghost and reached out to touch her face again.
Lu Wenshuang was ashamed and angry. A powerful aura rose from her body, and her entire body was full of killing intent, causing the surrounding air to turn cold.
"Die, bastard!" Sun Gongping roared. The Spring Embroidered Saber transformed into a saber beam that filled the sky and swept toward the ordinary man.
Clink Clink!
With two crisp sounds, the ordinary man's body flashed with golden light. He flicked the saber and sword with his finger, and the two of them took a step back at the same time.
"Golden Bell Shield..." Surprise flashed across Lu Wenshuang's and Sun Gongping's eyes, followed by joy.
They looked at the ordinary man and saw that he was smiling, his eyes full of amusement.
No matter how slow their reactions were, they now understood. He was clearly Zhou Shu.
Lu Wenshuang was a little peeved. Master, you're really too much. How can you tease me like that?!
"Die!" Suddenly, a loud shout sounded, and a dazzling light shot toward Zhou Shu's back.
"Be careful!" Lu Wenshuang exclaimed, her expression changing drastically.
Zhou Shu smiled and nonchalantly grabbed the weapon.
His hands were covered in golden light and indestructible. The long sword creaked between his palms, as if it could break at any moment.
Then Zhou Shu kicked out. Senior Brother Tang, who had sneak attacked him from behind, was sent flying again.
"Your surname is Tang. Are you from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?" Zhou Shu looked at Senior Brother Tang with his hands behind his back. "Your shameless attitude really does have the demeanor of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven."
Senior Brother Tang had blood at the corner of his mouth. He clutched his chest and struggled to roar, "Who are you?! How dare you insult my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?! Aren't you afraid of death?!"
