spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Naturally, Su Jingzhen was unaware that his identity had already been exposed to the Sword Master.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""He also didn't know that the higher-ups of the various factions had already set a grand plan in motion to target him.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As he followed Lin Ying into the Sword Qi Corridor, he was immediately enveloped by an extremely sharp sword qi.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Looking around, the place resembled a sunless underworld.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The sky was gray and shrouded in a layer of fog.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Just as he had initially imagined, it was a vast space, but the overall atmosphere was desolate and lifeless.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""They stood on the ground, with endless ruins and withered old trees in the distance.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The space was filled with a mix of decaying yet dense spiritual energy and various sharp sword intents.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""If an ordinary cultivator were here, merely comprehending the sword intents permeating the void would likely allow them to grasp many powerful sword techniques.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen's divine consciousness spread out, but within a radius of several dozen miles, he didn't detect the presence of any other teams.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""In the Sword Qi Corridor, this area is probably a very remote region. We should head towards the center. The opportunity I seek is also in the central area,"

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying said, her excitement growing once again after entering the Sword Qi Corridor.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Without waiting for Su Jingzhen and the others to ask, she continued, "The so-called Sword Qi Corridor is actually the resting place of the past sages of Sword Land.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Their legacies remain here, and through the unique techniques of Sword Land, some special physiques can also be inherited.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""This time, my target is one such special physique!"

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As she spoke, Lin Ying's tone grew increasingly excited.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen and the others were slightly shocked.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""They had thought that Lin Ying was after some kind of treasure or powerful legacy.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""They hadn't expected her ambition to extend to a special physique.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""But upon reflection, no legacy could compare to the power of an innate special physique.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""For example, Qiu Yaoyao's Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Body and Yan Xia's Water Spirit Saint Body-these special physiques allowed their cultivation to progress at an astonishing rate.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""However, they were curious as to what special body Lin Ying was aiming for.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen knew that Zhang Xiu could activate the Jian Ling physique, and Saintess Qing Yue seemed to be able to do the same.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Therefore, Lin Ying couldn't possibly have the audacity to compete with Saintess Qing Yue.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As if sensing their curiosity, Lin Ying added, "My target is a special physique called the 'Shadow Immortal Spirit Body'.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Ever since I started cultivating after my spiritual awakening, I've known that I have the potential for a special physique.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""However, it has never been fully awakened. I changed my name to Lin Ying to remind myself that I have the potential to awaken this physique."

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As she spoke, a hint of resentment flashed in her tone and her aura suddenly became elusive and eerie.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen and the others were stunned for a moment.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""This was most likely her true demeanor.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""On the surface, she was the radiant and righteous Flying Snow Sword Immortal, but in reality, she was an innate shadow assassin.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Clearly, Lin Ying had been hiding her true strength all along.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen couldn't help but sigh.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Among the countless disciples of a major power and the rank of the Ten Great Saintesses, it was not easy for anyone to rise to prominence.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Even the lowest-ranked Saintess possessed such cunning and strength.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""It was hard to imagine how powerful Saintess Qing Yue must be.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At the same time, Su Jingzhen felt a slight sense of relief.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""He had always subconsciously felt that his rapid advancement and various displays of power were too outrageous, making him a potential target for old monsters who might want to dissect him.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""But now, it seemed that there were plenty of outrageous individuals, and he was merely one of the more conspicuous ones.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen then asked curiously, "So, is Hong Yu also targeting this physique?"

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying shook her head.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""Not necessarily. These special physiques aren't something that just anyone can get. It depends on fate.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The reason I've set my sights on the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body is that long ago, I could sense a faint connection with it in the Sword Qi Corridor.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""It subtly resonated with me. However, most people don't know about it."

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""After a pause, she added, "As for Junior Sister Hong Yu, her ultimate target is me. Whatever I want, she will do her best to sabotage it.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""If given the chance, she wouldn't hesitate to kill me.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The position of Sword Land's Saintess is always limited to ten. If I die, she will secure her place among the Ten Great Saintesses".

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen nodded silently.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""He roughly understood the situation.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying wanted to obtain the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body, while he was focused on finding Zhang Xiu.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Since these special bodies were generally located in the central area of the Sword Qi Corridor, their goals didn't conflict.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As they discussed, the group rushed towards the central area of the Sword Qi Corridor.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The peripheral area was vast, and they didn't encounter any other teams on the way.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""However, as they approached the central area, the sword qi permeating the void became denser and more powerful.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The other four members of the group weren't sword cultivators, and their defenses weren't strong.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Their skin began to sting, and they had to form protective barriers just to survive the environment.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""In contrast, Su Jingzhen and the others moved with ease.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The four of them felt increasingly bitter.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At this point, winning Lin Ying's favor was the least of their worries.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""If they could reach their destination without becoming a burden or being abandoned by Lin Ying, it would be a blessing for them.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As Mystic Immortal Realm cultivators, they were considered experts in the Emperor Realm and could dominate smaller regions. But now, for the first time, they felt completely weak.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""Saintess, the sword intent ahead is getting sharper. The four of us were injured yesterday and haven't fully recovered yet. If a battle breaks out ahead, we might become a burden.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Perhaps we should stay here and search for opportunities on our own?" one of them suggested nervously.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Cultivators, especially those who had reached a certain level of cultivation, often had accurate premonitions.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The four of them looked at the desolate, misty landscape ahead of them and seemed to see their bleak future.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""They were truly afraid. No matter how great the rewards or opportunities were, they weren't worth risking their lives for.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Hearing this, Lin Ying suddenly stopped.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""She narrowed her eyes and smiled at the four of them.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Her smile was breathtakingly beautiful, but it felt unsettling to the four of them.

spanfont-weight:" 400"="""What are you saying? Since we are a team, we will enter together, leave together, and act together. As for the sharp sword intent in the void, that's my fault," Lin Ying said.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""As she spoke, she formed a hand seal and seven illusory small swords appeared in the void.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""These swords flew towards Su Jingzhen and the others and merged with their bodies.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Immediately, Su Jingzhen and the others could no longer feel the sharp sword intent in the void.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""It was as if Lin Ying had single-handedly shielded them from it.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Su Jingzhen was once again astonished.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""The techniques of Sword Land were indeed impressive.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At least within the Sword Qi Corridor, the Sword Land disciples had a significant advantage.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""At the same time, he inwardly sneered.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""After entering the Sword Qi Corridor, Lin Ying - or rather, all the core disciples of Sword Land - gradually showed their true colors.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""These four had come this far, but now they wanted to play it safe. How ridiculous. Cannon fodder should have the consciousness of cannon fodder.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Like him, Qiu Yaoyao, and Shengana, they wouldn't say much.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""But if Lin Ying truly dared to treat the three of them as cannon fodder, she would surely regret it.

spanfont-weight:" 400"=""Lin Ying then smiled and said, "Now, the four of you should have no worries."
