Chapter 77: Sword Mountain

This is the most prosperous city on the mainland, and the miracle suspended in the sky, the dreamy Star Island is now floating with a layer of haze.

There are four most powerful families in Xingzhu City, the Wan family in the south, the Li family in the north, the Mo family in the west, and the Ye family in the east.

The origin of these four families can be traced back to the founding of the Xingzhu Empire, and it can be regarded as the longest lasting family in the Xingzhu Empire, and because of the accumulation of thousands of years, the combined weight of these four families even makes the royal family extremely jealous.

At the same time, these four families are also the leaders of the [noble] group within the empire.

[Aristocrat] is a derivative of the administrative system of the Xingzhu Empire, and the descendants of the final-level professionals of each era form their own families to continue their own inheritance, but only a few families can continue to be brilliant.

A family that can survive for a hundred years can be called a "nobleman", and each nobleman is proud of his surname, and this glory also breeds arrogance.

The share of [power] is limited, that is to say, the people who can have [power] are limited, and in the struggle for [power], I don't know how many family forces have turned into the dust of history.

The closer you get to Xingzhu City, the more power those in power can have, the more fierce the struggle around this power becomes, and the more frequent the change of those in power.

Only those four ancient families located in the four corners of Star Bamboo City have been prosperous.

And in the past hundred years, among the new forces that have risen near Xingzhu City, [Sword Mountain] is the most unique and the most powerful.

[Sword Mountain] is located in the [Banished Mountain Range] in the north of Star Bamboo City - this mountain range was once a paradise for magical beasts. A hundred years ago, every year, the [Holy Beasts] in the mountain range would set off a beast tide to attack Xingzhu City, until the legend of the previous era, the [Starry Sky Sword God] Sword Star God appeared.

The Sword Star God entered the Banished Mountain Range alone and killed eight Holy Beast Kings overnight - each Holy Beast King would not be weaker than the peak professional of the human race, which was why for so long, the Star Bamboo Empire did not take a ruthless step to solve this threat under his nose.

The name of the Starry Sky Sword God spread throughout the country overnight, and later, with the assistance of the Star Bamboo Empire, the human race exiled the mountain range and conquered it...... At the same time, that Xingzhu Emperor announced that the Banished Mountain Range would be sealed as the territory of the Starry Sky Sword God.

Later, the Starry Sky Sword God established the [Sword Mountain] on the main peak of the Banished Mountain Range.

Different from the family forces that rely on blood ties, [Sword Mountain] recruits [disciples] from all over the world, of course, the premise is that they can pass the entrance examination of the Sword Star God.

That year, more than 100,000 people flocked to Sword Mountain, but in the end, the Sword Star God only recruited ten disciples.

After a long period of time, those ten disciples had all reached the rank of intermediate [Sword God] or above, and among them, the [Light Sword God] and the [Dark Sword God] had even reached their peak.

Such a powerful top-level combat power makes Jianshan the most special force in the Xingzhu Empire. Moreover, Jianshan has also become a holy place that the world's [swordsmen] professionals yearn for, everyone dreams of being able to enter Jianshan, but there are only a hundred disciples of Jianshan so far.

Banished Mountains, Sword Peak.

This is the main peak of the Banished Mountain Range where the Holy Beast King was entrenched in the past, and the towering and precipitous peaks reach into the sky, but on such a cliff, it is full of green, and all kinds of countless spiritual grasses are planted on the cliffs, and even the aura that drives the entire mountain peak is extraordinarily rich.

A slender path leads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is a brown stone staircase that winds upwards, and the clouds and mist that swirl around the halfway point of the sword peak make this stone staircase road seem to lead to the sky.

The excessively handsome young man held a little girl who looked to be just over ten years old with his only left arm, and the little girl looked around with some curiosity.

On both sides of the ten-zhang wide stone staircase are thick rock walls, and on top of the rock walls, there are clear sword marks.

Each sword mark seems to contain a change of meaning, and the combination of countless sword marks is one [painting] after another.

These murals tell the story of the gods.

Jian Ling Tian had grown up listening to various legends about the gods since he was a child, and he smiled and stared at the thousands of feathers whose eyes kept wandering on the rock wall.

The girl looked at the mural with great curiosity, these stories that she had never seen before constantly aroused her curiosity, and she even trotted forward after seeing it, just to know the subsequent plot more quickly.

It's just that the girl has been staying in the Temple of Heaven all year round, and her physical strength seems to be very weak, and she stopped panting after a while......

Jian Ling Tian only followed at this time, and the girl with a happy face didn't notice the slight white light around her.

Jian Ling Tian grabbed Wan Qianyu and carefully carried her on her back, smiling gently.

"I'll carry you. ”

"Brother Ling Tian, Qian Yu is so happy, Qian Yu has never seen such a high mountain, and I have never seen such an interesting painting...... Thousand Feathers ......" The girl's voice suddenly paused, and she remembered the dark Temple of Heaven......

She knew very well that she had to stay there herself, or she would cause a lot of trouble......

However, I really want to continue to be outside, I really want to see what Brother Ling Tian and Brother Qiran said before, and I really want to play with Brother Ling Tian and them......

"Brother Ling Tian, when will Qian Yu go back?" the girl carefully hid her loss.

"Qianyu doesn't have to go back. Jian Ling Tian smiled gently, but there was a faint cold light in the depths of his eyes. "Chiba can stay with us in the future. ”

The girl's face flashed with surprise, and then she asked a little confused, "But Qianyu will cause trouble if she stays outside, and Qianyu can't control herself...... It could hurt everyone......"

"I'll figure it out. Jian Ling Tian turned his head slightly, and looked at the girl on his back with a little expectation.

"Does Chiba believe me?"

“...... Qian Yu believes in Brother Ling Tian!" The worries and worries on the girl's little face slowly dissipated, and she nodded solemnly.

Jian Ling Tian couldn't help but smile, but the afterglow of his perspective caught a person appearing in front of him.

An old man who looks unpretentious.

“...... Grandfather. Jian Ling Tian put down the thousands of feathers on his back, and then saluted respectfully.

"Brother, what's wrong with your hand, and why did you bring Qian Yu here......?" The beautiful little face, black hair and black eyes have a feeling like a fairy in the sky.

"You used the Qiankun Sword?" the old man only spoke at this time, this ordinary old man, but he had a pair of eyes that seemed to reflect the stars and the sea.

"Hmm. Jian Ling Tian nodded lightly.

"Figured it out?" the old man continued.

“...... No, I didn't figure it out. There was confusion in the depths of Jian Lingtian's eyes that could not be ignored.

"You have taught us to do good, and you have taught us to have justice in our hearts, and to be worthy of our own righteousness in everything we do...... Why didn't anyone in Sword Mountain go to the front line of Frostleaf City, why didn't you help those who suffered in the Commander's Tribulation?"

“...... Spirituality. The old man didn't answer Jian Ling Tian's question immediately, but whispered to the girl hiding behind him, "You take Wan Qianyu to [Cloud Cliff], and Ling Tian will come with me." ”

After saying that, the old man took the first step and left.

Wan Qianyu looked at Jian Lingtian with some curiosity, but still obediently walked to Jian Lingxin's side.

"Brother, your hand ......" Jian Lingxin asked with concern.

Jian Lingtian took a deep breath and smiled again, "It's okay." ”

After saying that, he quickly followed the old man's footsteps.

Jian Lingxin helplessly took Wan Qianyu's little hand, "Qianyu, long time no see." ”

"Well, Sister Lingxin...... Qianyu misses you so much......"
