After a day of running after leaving Fuzhou, Ouyang He drove the fast horse given by Qiu Ying and finally arrived at the important town of Xudu in eastern Shu, which was several times more lively than usual at this moment, the day before the opening of the sword conference presided over by the Tang Gate in Shuzhong. Due to the prestige of the ancient divine soldier Dragon Soul Sword, which symbolizes the supreme power in the rivers and lakes, has long spread all over the world, all the major factions in the rivers and lakes have attached great importance to this conference, and each has sent a figure of no weakness in the status of the elder or above to the capital in a vain attempt to obtain this legendary martial arts treasure. In order to prevent possible chaos when these people of the three religions and nine streams gathered in the city, more soldiers were already stationed around the city than usual to maintain order, and the city's fast arresters were also on the highest alert.

"This girl, please stay!" When Ouyang He, who had a white veil on her face before entering the city, led her horse into the city and was about to go to the inn to stay, a fortune teller in a black robe on the side of the road suddenly stopped her.

"This girl, I'm really sorry, I saw the girl's fairy and jade color, and her aura was extraordinary, I really couldn't help but want to count a hexagram for the girl, I don't know if the girl can appreciate her face. Of course, this is a voluntary act of the old way, and he will not take money from the girl. The fortune teller asked Ouyang He with a peaceful face.

"Heh, since Mr. is sincerely invited, if the little woman refuses, it will seem a little unkind, then it will be troublesome for Mr." Ouyang He smiled, brushed the hair hanging from his ears, and then walked to the fortune teller's booth and sat down.

The fortune teller looked at Ouyang He's palmistry, then fiddled with his fingers, and then his brows gradually tightened as if he had learned something bad, and he stroked his beard and sighed quietly.

"Has the gentleman thought of anything? Please sir but it doesn't hurt to say it. Ouyang He asked after noticing the subtle change in the expression on the fortune teller's face.

"Girl, some of the words of the old man may not be very good, after the old way of careful calculation, the old way in the girl's body saw a little bit of great evil, I am afraid that the girl will experience a life and death disaster in the next few days, and there may be a very important person to the girl will ...... Alas! The fortune teller was a little reluctant to speak, then lowered his head and sighed again.

Ouyang He showed a slightly surprised expression when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down again, and then she asked the fortune teller with some disapproval if there was a way to survive this catastrophe.

"Unless, the girl immediately turns around and leaves the city, or tries to stay away from the Ghost King Hall in the north of the city before the day after tomorrow, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this catastrophe safely!" The fortune teller's expression gradually became serious, and he said to Ouyang He.

"The Ghost King Hall, isn't that where the Sword Tasting Conference is held?" Ouyang He pondered in his heart whether this Sword Tasting Conference was really a trap for the organizers to harbor other intentions, or whether it was just an excuse for the unknown person in front of him to dissuade other Jianghu people who intended to seize the Dragon Soul Sword.

"Thank you for your advice, the little girl has been taught, and the little girl will take into account the advice of the gentleman." Ouyang He smiled politely and thanked the fortune teller before continuing to walk. At this moment, several people dressed as Taoist priests cautiously approached the fortune teller from the tavern next to him.

"Door master, what is the magic of that woman, a few of us who are watching the door in the back seem to be particularly interested in her calculations." A disciple asked quietly beside the fortune teller.

"Heh, although this woman is masked, the extraordinary temperament contained in her movements and demeanor can still reveal that she is by no means an ordinary wanderer, and I can also feel the strong internal force in her body when I touch her wrist, I am afraid that this woman will also be a fierce opponent that our Lingxumen will face in the conference." The fortune teller looked at Ouyang He's dashing figure in the distance and said thoughtfully to the disciples around him. Subsequently, the fortune teller sent a disciple to find a way to investigate Ouyang He's identity, but when he noticed that the other disciples were gradually murderous towards Ouyang He, he told them not to hurt Ouyang He in private.

Due to the late arrival in Xudu, after leaving the fortune teller, Ouyang He asked six or seven inns along the main street of Xudu City, but the reply he received was that they were all full. When he walked to the eighth inn called "Longqing Inn" at the end of the main street, Ouyang He took out a handkerchief from his waist and wiped the sweat beads on his face, and while praying in his heart, he quickly walked to the counter and asked the boss hopefully if there was any vacancy.

There were also two young men at the same counter who wanted to check in, one of the taller men was wearing a blue robe and a jade crown, and he looked dignified and dignified, while the other was relatively ordinary in appearance and dress, and it seemed that the two seemed to have a slight difference in status. They coincidentally booked the last two remaining rooms just seconds before Ouyang He entered the door, so Ouyang He's inquiry only got a "sorry" answer from the boss.

"Girl, please wait a minute!" Just as Ouyang He was slowly pacing out of the inn and continuing to look for a place to stay, one of the men who had booked the last two rooms before stopped Ouyang He on the side, and then he walked to the counter and told the boss that he was willing to give up a room to Ouyang He, and he shared a room with his servants.

"This ...... This son, this ...... How embarrassing is that? It doesn't matter to the little girl, if the big capital city is big, there will definitely be other places to live, please don't mind the son. Ouyang He felt a little happy and a little frightened when she heard that someone was willing to leave a room for her, and she hurriedly walked up to the man to excuse herself.

However, under the persuasion of the man's gentle tone, Ouyang He finally paid the rent at the counter after thanking the man, but the man's servant muttered a few words beside the man with some emotion.

At the invitation of the man, Ouyang He and the two dined together in the lobby of the inn. After the three of them sat down, the two men began to introduce themselves to Ouyang He, it turned out that this brightly dressed and gentle man was named Pei Sheng, who was the master of the Changge Gate of Guangling City in Wu Kingdom, and the other was his entourage Zhang Ming, and the two of them came to Xudu with the wish of being able to see the dignity of the Dragon Soul Sword.

"Guangling, I heard that this city is far away from Shudi, it seems that Pei Gongzi must have had some hard work on the way this time." Ouyang He showed some admiration for Pei Sheng.

"Haha, let the girl smile, our Changge Gate is mainly a few wanderers who love poetry and songs, and they are just enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, and the word 'hardship' is not suitable for me and other idle clouds and wild cranes." Pei Sheng said to Ouyang He a little self-teasingly, and then he was about to ask Ouyang He's name.

At this moment, an inconspicuous ordinary guest who came to the inn walked straight to a table of people next to the three of them and sat down, and then he said to the other three people at the same table a little mysteriously: "Hey, have you heard about the martial arts tournament held in Fuzhou this year?" ”

"Cut, isn't it just a group of small characters who are not famous in the rivers and lakes to entertain themselves? What's there to focus on? Another person at the same table picked up a piece of meat and ate it, and said disapprovingly.

"Oh, brother, you don't know this, there is a great figure in this game this year. Guess what, the mysterious beauty who is said to have never appeared on the rivers and lakes before, Ouyang He, the owner of Jinyun Mountain Yufeng Mountain Villa, she is here to compete! And it won effortlessly to the end! After taking a big sip of a bowl of wine, the man's expression became a little exaggerated and he said to the three people around him.

"What? Really? It can't be that some people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement are talking nonsense to you, right? ”

"It's just that someone with that status will come to participate in the ring match performed by a group of rabble, it can't be someone fake, right?"

"Hey, did someone tell you what that chick looks like? Is it as beautiful as those people boast about? ”

A few people chatted next to Ouyang He and the three of them, and even attracted some people from other tables to join their conversation, and the inn lobby instantly became lively.

"Heh, I have heard a little about the rumors of the first beauty in Dashu in Jiangnan, and if I am lucky in this life, I really want to be able to see it." Pei Sheng also seemed to be attracted by this topic, but when he looked back, he found that Ouyang He's expression gradually became a little uneasy, and he seemed to be still distracted, "Girl, what's wrong?" Look at your face isn't very good. Oh, I haven't consulted the girl yet......"

"Ah, I'm sorry Pei Gongzi, the little woman Yulian, a disciple of Yufeng Mountain Villa, this time I was sent by our owner to collect some news about the Dragon Soul Sword, and meet some like-minded friends in the rivers and lakes along the way." Ouyang He hadn't expected her name to spread so widely, and in order to avoid some unexpected trouble, she had to come up with a fake name to cover up her identity.

"Wow, no wonder the girl has an extraordinary temperament, it turns out that the girl is from Yufeng Villa, so the owner of Ouyang Zhuang really came to Fuzhou?" Ouyang He then told Pei Sheng that she didn't know much about the whereabouts of their owner, and then Pei Sheng was a little curious and wanted to ask more about Ouyang He, and seemed to be more interested in the sword box on Ouyang He's back, but he was then moved to another topic by Ouyang He's side knock and cleverly prevaricated.

The time soon came to the next day, with a few salutes fired, the square in front of the Ghost King's Hall located in the north of the capital city was crowded with people, and people from all factions in the rivers and lakes who came to participate in the sword tasting conference with the intention of seizing the dragon soul sword sat around the square, and Ouyang He was worried that it would be too conspicuous because she was alone, so she changed into a blue and white wide-sleeved skirt and accepted Pei Sheng's invitation to sit among the people in blue and blue clothes sent by Changgemen.

However, among the people sitting in the Wind Thunder Hall opposite the Changge Gate, Han Yi seemed to recognize at a glance that the woman with the white veil opposite was Ouyang He, and then he whispered a few words to Bai Lichen, who was closing his eyes in front of him, and this scene was also watched by Ouyang He on the other side of the square.

As a group of Tang Sect disciples quickly ran out of the Ghost King Hall and stood in two rows, Tang Ye, the current head of the Tang Sect who convened the Sword Tasting Conference, walked out of the hall slowly under the protection of the Tang Sect disciples, and immediately expressed his gratitude to the martial arts people who sat around the square and came to the conference in the cheers of everyone at the scene.

In the shouts of everyone hoping that Tang Ye would take out the Dragon Soul Sword first and show it to everyone, Tang Ye said that this time, only the people of the ten sects would be lucky enough to witness the Dragon Soul Sword in person at the end, and the dozens of sects on the scene would each send up to two representatives in the form of martial arts friends to determine the superiority of martial arts, until the remaining ten sects stood out in the end. Tang Ye also said that the people of these ten sects would follow him to a secret location near the capital to compete again, and the last remaining people from the strongest sect would be able to get the Dragon Soul Sword as long as they could defeat him again, otherwise the Tang Sect would continue to hold the Dragon Soul Sword until the next year's Sword Tasting Conference.

As Tang Ye announced the start of the competition, each sect successively started a competition close to the knockout system according to the battle order secretly formulated by the Tang Sect on the invitation card according to their corresponding numbers. When it was only in the third round, Tang Ye's housekeeper pronounced the name of Yufeng Villa, and it was the powerful Jiuhua faction that would face Yufeng Villa on the spot.

However, when Ouyang He was about to take the field with Bai Lian in hand after receiving Pei Sheng's encouragement, unexpectedly, a woman wearing a face-covering hat suddenly flew from a corner of the square claiming to represent Yufeng Villa. In the next few rounds of the woman holding a sword and fighting the opponent, Ouyang He stood on the sidelines and stared at the situation in the arena with a panicked expression, and at the same time, she also felt that the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was extremely familiar with this person's figure, skills, and martial arts.

"Could it be that this girl really ......" Ouyang He observed worriedly for a while, and seemed to have an answer in his heart.
