Chapter 22: The Mountain Gate
The mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect has been in a state of closure since the recruitment of new disciples was completed. It is said that several elders of the Supreme Court noticed that the spiritual veins in the mountain were shaking during the retreat, and a calamity star had descended into the world, so they passed down an edict and left the Heavenly Sword Sect to close the mountain gate to avoid robbery.
And several second-generation disciples guarding the mountain gate are the most profound among the disciples, and the strength is also the strongest wave, these disciples are completely different from the second-generation disciples who guard the heavenly punishment array, most of them are the best of the best, guarding the mountain gate such a fat difference, not only can they get the contribution points of the sect every month, but also directly supply the Zhongpin pills from the medicine house to compensate for the delay in the cultivation of the disciples. There is also a Jindan elder on duty, as long as there is something wrong with the mountain gate, he can rush over in an instant. In just one month, it also blocked the provocations and troubles of many nearby sects, making many sects who thought that the Heavenly Sword Sect had a big event before shrinking their minds to covet it.
However, today's atmosphere at the mountain gate was unexpectedly solemn, the last time it was so solemn, it was a Jindan elder of the Yanshan Sword Sect who was nearby who claimed to have a decisive battle with a certain retreating elder in the door, and broke into the mountain gate, and several second-generation disciples formed a formation that could not be stopped, and finally sent Elder Yu Yan and a Jindan elder to join forces and injured his arm, and the other party gave up.
But even then, there were only a few more disciples watching at the mountain gate, which was far less spectacular than today's scene.
Different from the mountain gate of other sects or magnificent or extravagant, the mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect is a towering boulder, nearly ten zhang high, like a small mountain, with the word "Litian" written on it with an ancient seal. This stone is the Qingfeng ore produced in the Heavenly Sword Sect, although the Qingfeng ore is ten times more expensive than the same weight spirit stone on the market after extraction, but the original ore is not amazing, it looks like it is just a hard stone with ashes. Such a mountain gate, although the surrounding ancient trees are towering and the shadows of the trees are covered, which is quite a bit of the tranquility of the land of cultivating immortals, but it is a little too shabby.
However, if the enemy who comes to attack is a cultivator above the Jindan, and the sword flies and looks down from the sky, you can see the mystery of the top of this boulder - this boulder is the size of a small mountain, and the top is actually cut off by Qi Brush, and the cross-section alone is enough to be the size of a training field, and the blade that cuts it off must be a very sharp flying sword, because after 10,000 years, the top of this boulder is still as smooth as a mirror, and the black mirror reflects the clear sky and cloud shadows, which makes people's hearts shocked.
How could there be such a big flying sword in this world?
The only explanation is that the ancient power that cut off this boulder back then has perfected the use of the flying sword, and the sword qi of the flying sword alone is enough to cut off such a hard and huge Qingfeng ore.
You must know that Qingfeng stone is the main material for casting spiritual flying swords.
The sword qi of a flying sword actually cut off a boulder that was almost as hard as a spirit flying sword.
The realm and strength of this powerful person are really chilling.
For thousands of years, although the Heavenly Sword Sect has gradually declined and has become a second-rate sect in Yixian County, as long as this mountain gate is still there, and this boulder is still there, it has always reminded the enemy of the attack: The Heavenly Sword Sect has once produced such an unfathomable cultivation power, whether this power is now in the Wandering Immortal Realm or in retreat in the secret realm, but after all, he is a person who has left the Heavenly Sword Sect, and anyone who wants to make a move before leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect has to weigh a few points.
However, under the mountain gate today, the atmosphere is a hundred times more tense than that of foreign enemies.
Standing at the front, it seems to be Zou Anlong, the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he is more than 100 years old, he was the most ordinary talent among the senior brothers, although he broke through the golden pill, but the progress of cultivation was slow, and there was no hope of advancement, so he took the initiative to provoke the head of the family, he was thoughtful, had a peaceful personality, and had a high prestige in the door.
There are several elders standing behind Zou Anlong, all of whom are highly respected, and the two brothers of the Yu family are also among them, Yu Yan's face is gloomy, his expression is nervous, he is naturally irritable, very belligerent, for so many years, it can be regarded as a hard fight against the world, not to mention the outside, at least in the Litian Sword Sect, except for the five retreating Taishang Elders, even if it is the head Zou Anlong, he doesn't pay much attention to it.
If you have to say that he is still afraid of anything in this sect, it is only his second brother Yu Jun, who has a gloomy personality but is very ruthless. As early as when he was young, among the three brothers, Yu Jun had the most peculiar personality, vicious thoughts, and seemed to be silent, but in fact, he was a killer move, which made people guess, and he was praised by the ancestor of the Yu family and several elders of the Taishang, saying that he could achieve great things. After all these years, the second brother's personality has become more ruthless, and even he, the eldest brother, is very jealous of him, and there is no gastritis at all in front of him.
This time, Yu Tianlu was successfully assassinated, and Yu Jun had no heir. Among the brothers, Yu Xinghe has always been an idle cloud and wild crane, and there are no Taoist couples, so he is the only one who is the most suspicious, so he is very worried, and he waited at the mountain gate early in the morning, and was the first to step forward to explain the situation as soon as Yu Jun came back, so as not to be suspicious.
Seeing that they had waited for the sun to rise, the elder and the head of the sect were fine, after all, they were all standing in the shade of the tree, but the rest of the disciples' entourage were all waiting in the scorching sun, but no one dared to show an impatient face. Those people who were attached to the Yu family in the past were naturally waiting for Yu Jun to come back and ask for their guilt, and establish the prestige of the Yu family, so that they could also follow the chicken dog to heaven. And more disciples just came to see the excitement, after all, Yu Tianlu has been rampant and domineering in the Litian Sword Sect all these years, although these people dare not speak out in anger, they all hate to crush him in their hearts. Now that a Ji Biao has finally come out to clean up this scourge, it is simply very happy. These people were happy, but they couldn't help but have some thoughts that they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, knowing that Yu Tianlu's father Yu Jun came back today, and they all gathered at the mountain gate, waiting to see Yu Jun's reaction.
At noon, there was a sudden commotion on the boulevard in the distance.
The reason why the Litian Sword Sect has lived relatively peaceful over the years is that in addition to this mountain gate, the geographical location is also an important reason, the Litian Sword Sect is backed by the Litian River, surrounded by rivers on three sides - in fact, in the original text, the Litian River is a branch of the Tianhe in the Immortal Realm, when Ji Biao was a baby, he floated down the Litian River, and was later picked up by an old farmer who cultivated the Spirit Valley for the Litian Sword Sect. The aura in the Tianhe is magnificent, but the attributes are mixed, and countless demon beasts have also been bred, which is a natural barrier, since the invasion of the demons thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Litian Sword Sect used the Litian River to lay down the enchantment, and below the Yuan Infant, it is impossible to enter the Litian Sword Sect from the air.
Yu Jun is naturally no exception.
With the screaming and noisy sound of the spirit beast, a group of dusty people appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The front is Yu Jun, the head of the Yu family, he is a middle-aged man dressed in black, tall and thin, with angular facial features, a gloomy expression, and a black and red long sword behind his back, and the red seal lines on the scabbard form the shape of a flame, which looks quite terrifying. He □□ riding a tall black spirit animal. It looked like a horse, but it had a pair of huge wings under its ribs, which were hastily trapped in chains, almost into the flesh, apparently to restrain it from flying. This spirit beast looks very violent, and when it exhales, it actually carries a fire attribute aura, as if it is a rare demon beast with cultivation.
There were only a few followers behind him, and they were all riding all kinds of demon beasts, all of them were close to Jindan at the peak of the condensation period, and the only one in the late stage of condensation was a slender woman, also dressed in black, riding a huge three-legged monster bird, covered with gray feathers, with a long beak like a hook, and the strength of Yu Jun's spirit beast was not far behind. You must know that these demon beasts have spirituality, so the mounts of the cultivators are all tamed by themselves, and if they can tame such a powerful demon beast, it seems that this woman's strength is not low. Lei Ze is thousands of miles away from the Heavenly Sword Sect, even if the Jindan Dao people rush over, it will take at least five days, and these people have followed Yu Jun day and night to rush back from Lei Ze within seven days, and they have not collapsed, which can be regarded as superior strength.
"Elder Huo. Zou Zhangmen hurriedly flew out to greet him, with a very careful attitude: "It's been hard all the way." Elder Huo Xuan actually subdued Lei Ze's dragon horse, which is really a good means. Did you have any accidents on this trip to Razor?"
"Originally, I met a group of dragons and horses, but there was a demon clan master who intervened, and only this one was accepted. Yu Jun jumped off the dragon horse and replied with a gloomy expression.
"Second brother," Yu Yan finally waited for Yu Jun, and hurriedly stepped forward to complain: "Tianlu's nephew is ......"
"I'll talk about that later. Yu Jun's words made people unable to guess their joy and anger, and his expression was the same, and he was still explaining to Master Zou: "This time I went to Lei Ze, and I caught a total of seven demon beasts in the psychic period and three demon beasts in the cloud stage. Except for this dragon horse and the three-legged eagle, the rest of the demon beasts are escorted by my disciple Xuanming, and they can be sent back to the gang at the end of the month. ”
This time, he was ordered by the sect to go to Lei Ze to capture demon beasts, brought a bunch of first-generation disciples, and received many elixir magic weapons rewarded by the sect. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that not only him, but even the mounts of his entourage have changed once, and this is not just seven demon beasts. But he reported the number of seven, and the head of the sect could only accept it silently, who made him Yu Jun is the strongest fighting power among the sect elders now, if he doesn't go to Lei Ze, the sect doesn't even have a demon beast. What's more, there is still Yu Tianlu now, so naturally whatever he says is what he says.
"Huo Yu is honest, and he is the pillar of my Heavenly Sword Sect. The head of Zou smiled, and the rest of the elders also echoed, seeing that the atmosphere gradually eased down, Yu Jun did not see the slightest joy on his face, he glanced at the people around him coldly, and did not look at Yu Yan, who was anxious to wash away his suspicions, and asked straight to the head of the house:
"Where is the disciple who killed Tianlu?"
The atmosphere became dead and silent for a while, and even the smile on the face of the head of Zou seemed to condense, only Yu Yan didn't know how to read people's faces at all, and he hurriedly stepped forward to defend himself in a rough voice: "Second brother, when Tianlu's nephew was killed, I was accompanying the guests at the banquet, which can be proved by the head of Zou, and I stayed with them all night." The one who killed Tianlu's nephew was a waste who didn't pass the guò entrance exam, it should be a deliberate revenge, it was a plot, I asked the entourage who had beaten that kid with Tianlu, and they said that he relied on brute force and was very fast......"
"You mean, Tianlu was killed by a waste who didn't pass the guò entrance exam?" Yu Jun turned his face and looked at him with a cold expression.
Yu Yan was stunned by his cold eyes, but the ignorant were fearless, he still shouted in his usual rough voice: "It was indeed killed by that kid, there was no helper, and no one instructed him, I found out, that kid was picked up by an old man who planted the Spirit Valley......"
His voice stopped abruptly, as a flame burst into the sky, as fast as lightning, and with a sharp crane chirp, it rushed straight towards Yu Yan's front door.
At that moment, everyone didn't have time to react, and even Yu Yan only had time to hurriedly activate the body protection magic circle in the jade jue he carried, and summoned a fire net to block in front of him. However, it was the same fire, and the light of the attack tore the fire net to pieces like a devastating one, and when everyone's screams just came out, it had already pierced Yu Yan's throat directly.
Just when Yu Yan thought that he was going to die on the spot, the firelight actually stopped.
Only then did everyone see the true face of the fire.
It was a flying sword, black all over, but the body of the sword was engraved with fiery red seals, vaguely in the shape of a crane. The flying sword was surrounded by suffocating fiery fire attribute spiritual power, and even the air seemed to be scorched and distorted, and at this moment, the sword stopped at Yu Yan's throat, less than half an inch away from Yu Yan's throat, and the fire light on the sword had already burned off a piece of Yu Yan's beard, and the skin of his throat was also roasted out of the bubbles.
Large drops of sweat rolled down from Yu Yan's face and onto the sword, raising a wisp of white smoke.
Yu Jun stood there quietly, his expression as gloomy as ever, as if the sword pointed at his eldest brother's throat had nothing to do with him at all.
"Elder Huo, ......," Zou Zhangmen said stiffly.
Yu Jun didn't give him a chance to finish.
With a crane snort, the flying sword swirled away like lightning, and slashed straight at the dragon horse behind Yu Jun, and with two sonorous sounds, the red gold iron chain tied to the dragon horse's wings was cut off with a brush, and the dragon horse hissed and rose into the air. Yu Jun turned on his horse, put his sword into the sheath, and turned to leave.
"Send that kid to Silver Snake Peak immediately, I want to investigate this matter thoroughly, gather all the disciples of more than three generations of the whole sect to gather at Silver Snake Peak, and arrest all the people related to that kid, I want to find out who is behind this matter, whoever dares to stop me, there will be no mercy!"
