Although the killing intent in the eyes of the two elders was extremely well hidden, they still couldn't hide it from Li Xiuyun.

Feng Lin's delicate face still kept smiling, but her left hand had already sneaked into the cuff with the silver chain hidden, as long as the situation changed, she could immediately make a move.

The four of them still walked forward unhurriedly, and none of them spoke.

"No one knows about this matter except for me and Feng Lin, if I were going to leak this matter, it would have been leaked a long time ago. The corners of Li Xiuyun's mouth raised slightly, and he continued to speak, "At that time, it will not be me who will come to the Ancient Sword Gate to worship the mountain, but those major forces that have coveted the Ancient Sword Gate for a long time. ”

"Today's Ancient Sword Gate has long since lost its former glory, and if the last Supreme Elder is no longer there, then the Ancient Sword Gate will come to an end. ”

Hearing this, the two elders sighed one after another, Li Xiuyun's words were not unreasonable, he could have leaked this matter to forces other than the Ancient Sword Sect a long time ago, so why did he come to the Ancient Sword Sect to say it again, wouldn't that be self-defeating.

Now that the Ancient Sword Sect is no longer as glorious as it used to be, if it weren't for the last Supreme Elder in charge, the Ancient Sword Sect would have been swallowed up by those forces that had coveted it for a long time.

But that Supreme Elder has been supporting it for more than 1,500 years, and seeing that the limit is approaching, the Ancient Sword Sect still hasn't been able to appear in an Emperor Realm.

Elder Taishang was still burning his few lives, protecting the Ancient Sword Sect until the last moment.

The two elders couldn't help but sigh, and they could be regarded as acquiescing to what Li Xiuyun said, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that the decline of the Ancient Sword Sect was an indisputable matter.

Don't say that it is back to the glory of the past, and now it is still unknown whether the Ancient Sword Sect can survive under the watchful eyes of the major sects in the Eastern Continent.

Not only is the Supreme Elder about to fall, but even the Great Sect Protector Array left by the original Great Master has gradually failed over the years, and its power is less than one-tenth of that of the year.

"There is actually a reason why the Ancient Sword Gate has been declining. ”

Li Xiuyun suddenly said that when he founded the Ancient Sword Sect, he chose the site on Xiaoyao Peak, where the Qi Vein was the strongest, and set up a formation to maintain the Qi Vein, as long as the Qi Vein was still there, the Ancient Sword Gate would not decay.

But now, the formation that maintains the qi veins has been damaged, the qi veins have been lost, and it is difficult for the ancient sword sect to have qualifications above the imperial body, and the life wheel is also affected by it, and the first-class life wheel has almost never appeared again.

To put it bluntly, the decline of the Ancient Sword Gate is inseparable from the loss of qi veins.

Millions of years have passed, and the Ancient Sword Sect has long since become a human being, and he has almost forgotten where the formation that maintains the qi veins is located.

"Do you know something? Tell me about it. ”

The two elders hurriedly replied, how many secrets were still hidden in the man with a mysterious origin in front of him.

The sudden burst of red light from the ancestral stone before, as well as the reawakened bloodline of the Emperor Realm, all of these are inextricably linked to him.

The most important thing was that the two elders looked at the young man in front of them, and for some reason they felt a sense of intimacy, as if he was originally a member of the Ancient Sword Sect.

Li Xiuyun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The location of the Ancient Sword Gate is located in the place where the Qi veins in the Shengwu Continent are the most abundant, just like the emperor would choose a place with a dragon vein to establish a palace, the stronger the Qi vein, the higher the probability of giving birth to a genius." The reason why the Ancient Sword Sect can't have the Holy Body qualification now, to put it bluntly, is that there is no Qi Vein. ”

Li Xiuyun's words made the two elders speechless in shock.

What is his origin, even the most confidential information of the Ancient Sword Sect is known, according to the Supreme Elder who is still alive now, the formation that maintains the Qi veins of the Ancient Sword Sect has been damaged, and if it is not repaired, the Ancient Sword Sect will continue to decline.

The two elders couldn't help but smile bitterly, having said that, no one knew where the formation to maintain the qi veins was, even the Supreme Elder didn't know.

"I might be able to find a place where the formation that sustains the Qi veins is. ”

Just when the two elders were at a loss, Li Xiuyun suddenly said.

"What! Can you really find the location of the formation? If you can find it, the entire Ancient Sword Sect will be grateful for your kindness. ”

The Great Elder's expression became excited, if he could really know where the magic circle was, then he would have a chance to repair the magic circle and save the situation of the decline of the Ancient Sword Gate.

Li Xiuyun shook his head and said, "I don't remember clearly, the original magic circle was built in the ancestral hall behind the ancient sword gate, and I don't know if this ancestral hall is still there." ”

"Houshan Ancestral Hall...... Could it be the ancestral hall?"

The Great Elder pondered for a moment, then immediately shouted. "The ancestral hall of the ancestors is located in the back of the ancient sword gate, and it will only be opened once every ten years, and the direct side of the ancient sword gate will go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. ”

"Maybe it's going to be there, when is the next time the ancestral hall opens?"

Li Xiuyun frowned slightly, he didn't expect that millions of years had passed, and the ancestral hall was still there.

He set up a magic circle in the ancestral hall back then, and only the descendants of his bloodline in his body could enter it, and it happened to be opened once every ten years.

This magic circle was laid by him when he was in the Emperor Realm, and it cost countless spirit stones, and now the energy of these spirit stones should be almost consumed.

He left a large number of treasures in the ancestral hall, immortal weapons, elixirs, heaven-level exercises, and even immortal methods that were above the heaven-level exercises.

He once instructed his descendants that only when the Ancient Sword Sect encountered an unsolvable crisis, could they lift the seal in the ancestral hall and use the immortal magic and holy weapons inside.

Even if the Ancient Sword Sect encounters a crisis at a certain time, or declines, it can survive the crisis with the immortal method and holy pill in the ancestral hall.

As for the key to lifting the seal of the ancestral hall, it is the head token passed down by each head of the house, even if the head token falls into the hands of outsiders, as long as it is not his bloodline, it will not be able to enter the ancestral hall.

This secret was only known to the head of the Ancient Sword Sect, and the Great Elder and Second Elder did not know about it.

"The ancestral hall of the ancestors was opened once ten years ago, and it was the last time it was opened...... It should have been two months later. The Great Elder hurriedly replied.

"Two months...... It seems that time is tight. Li Xiuyun thought in his heart, he didn't expect that the time for the opening of the ancestral hall was so close.

Not long after walking, Li Xiuyun and Feng Lin followed the footsteps of the two elders and had already arrived at the highest peak of the Ancient Sword Gate, the Zhangmen Peak.

Zhangmen Peak is one of the peaks of Xiaoyao Peak, and it is the place where the aura of the entire Xiaoyao Peak is the most abundant.

At this time, in front of them was a cultivation ground, and there were hundreds of disciples on the cultivation ground, and the aura on these disciples was obviously much stronger than that of the outer courtyard.

These disciples are all personal disciples led by the elders, and there are not a few peaks in the Aiqi Realm, and there are even dozens of them in the Qi Sea Realm.

However, they are also much older than the outer courtyard, and their cultivation time is longer, and their natural cultivation is also higher.

"Hehe, the two of you don't stay in the outer courtyard well, why do you have time to run to the inner courtyard?"

A slightly hoarse voice came from not far from the cultivation ground, and in front of them, a red-robed old man with a thin and pale face walked towards them.

"Li Shen, I have something important to look for the head today. ”

Seeing the red-robed old man named Li Shen walking towards this side, the Great Elder's face suddenly froze.

"The head doesn't have time to pay attention to the people in the outer court. ”

Li Shen smiled coldly, his eyes were deep, and he turned his eyes to look at Li Xiuyun and Feng Lin, "These two little guys are your newly accepted personal disciples, and they look pretty good, but I don't know how many catties and taels there are." ”

"Hmph, do you still need to take care of it?" the Great Elder snorted coldly, not giving Li Shen a good look at at all.

"Master, who are you talking to?"

At this time, a man and a woman also walked over here, looking about twenty years old, the two are talented and beautiful, and they are a good match.

"Li Feng, Qingjiao, I have seen the Great Elder and the Second Elder of the Outer Courtyard. ”

Li Shen turned around and instructed the two, and when he mentioned the outer courtyard, he deliberately raised his voice, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"It turned out to be the Great Elder and the Second Elder of the Outer Courtyard, and Li Feng had seen the two Elders. ”

The young disciple named Li Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he didn't bow down, but just arched his hand to greet the two elders, and his tone was very frivolous.

"Qingjiao has seen the Great Elder and the Second Elder. ”

The pretty female disciple behind Li Feng bent down slightly and greeted the two elders with her hands.

Li Xiuyun was standing behind the two elders at this time, judging from the attitude of Li Shen and his two disciples greeting the Great Elder and the Second Elder, it seemed that the status of the two elders in the Ancient Sword Sect was not as high as he imagined.

As far as he knew, the Ancient Sword Sect was divided into the outer court and the inner court, the outer court had a great elder, while the inner court did not, and the great elder had the right to take charge of the affairs of the inner and outer courts.

But now it seems that the so-called Great Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect does not seem to have a high status in the inner courtyard.

"Hey, when did the Ancient Sword Gate have such a beauty, I have never seen it. ”

The inner courtyard disciple named Li Feng let out a sound of surprise, and only then did he notice Feng Lin behind the Great Elder, and when Feng Lin glanced at it, he naturally fell on Li Feng.

Feng Linxing's eyes glanced at Li Feng, and he took in his expression at this time.

Li Feng has been cultivating in the Ancient Sword Sect for many years, how could he ever have heard that there is such a beauty in the Ancient Sword Sect, if there is, he must know.

"Girl, what's your name?" Li Feng bowed and asked very politely towards Fenglin.

Feng Lin didn't look at him, turned his head directly, and looked away.

Li Feng grabbed a folding fan in his hand, only to see him gently open the folding fan, and said with a graceful smile: "It was I who took the liberty to forget to introduce my name, my name is Li Feng, a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Ancient Sword Sect, I have participated in the Tianjiao Conference held by the Cangye Empire in Dongzhou, and I am honored to be in the top eight. ”

The moment Li Feng saw Feng Lin, a look of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly put it away, not directly on his face like Li Yue.

He was confident that with his reputation in Dongzhou, even if the red-clothed girl in front of him had just come to the Ancient Sword Gate, she should have heard of him.

At the Tianjiao Conference held by the Cangye Empire that year, he won the top eight on behalf of the Gu Jian Sect, breaking the record that no one in the Gu Jian Sect had been able to enter the top eight for decades.

It can be said that his reputation is not only in the Ancient Sword Sect, but even in the entire Dongzhou, there are many people who know him.

Li Feng ...... Eighth place in the Tianjiao Conference?"

Feng Lin rummaged through the memories of that year, she was also there at the Tianjiao Conference five years ago, but she was only 12 years old at that time.

The Tianjiao Conference brought together young elites from the major sects in Dongzhou, and it was a very high honor for the sect to be able to rank in the Tianjiao Conference.
