Chapter Ninety-Nine: Oaths and Alliances

Time flies, and days pass.

This newly listed Famous Sword Villa, unconsciously, has gathered nearly a thousand people.

It originally seemed to be a huge mountain villa, but at this time, it could no longer accommodate so many people. Many of the people who arrived in a hurry had to build improvised wooden huts in a clearing on a hill not far away. The original reddish-brown mountainous area is occupied by rows of neat wooden houses.

Different from the previous days when the heat was in full swing and the clanging sounds came and went, at this time, all the people in the entire mountain villa gathered in an open valley outside the mountain villa, waiting for something.

Yun Xiaotian and Ai Bingtai were dressed plainly, and they were also standing at the back of the crowd at this time.

Lao Jia didn't come, but still watched the fire under his stove in the kitchen alone, as if he neither wanted to know nor want to participate in the enthusiasm of these young people.

On the slope of the clearing, Long Fei'er was condescending, looking down at Yun Xiaotian and them.

These days, Yun Xiaotian learned that Long Fei'er and the others were basically the actual controllers of the entire villa at this time.

Although Bai Xiaochun is the nominal owner, more often than not, he is just a puppet, with the identity of decorating the lintel. This is thanks to the fact that he originally spread that he was a prince in distress and took the opportunity to take the lead, otherwise it is estimated that he would not even be the nominal owner at this time.

In order to show his presence and status, Bai Xiaochun sat on a wooden chair in the center, and from time to time took a sip of the tea in the cup held by his white and fat hands.

But at this time, whether it was Yun Xiaotian or Ai Bingtai standing next to him, their eyes were firmly fixed on an exceptionally eye-catching and abrupt outsider. A man in black with a knife is the leader of the black wind and sand thieves who once gushed in the mine.

The leader, looking at the hot-blooded young man in front of him, seemed to have somewhat believed the rumors spread by Bai Xiaochun before.

Other than that, he couldn't think of any reason why he could gather so many youths and girls who seemed to be in a heroic spirit almost out of thin air.

Just when Yun Xiaotian and the others were puzzled and didn't know why they called everyone here.

Long Fei'er stood in front of everyone, waited for a long time, and finally spoke, "Don't gossip! Then I'll get straight to the point! Everyone is here for a purpose, and now I have gathered you all here for this purpose! ”

"Tomorrow, we will prepare to set up camp and go to the Holy Mountain."

"I welcome those who are willing to go together. If you don't want to, you won't be sent away. ”

"After the next rally, everyone will go and get the weapons they have in hand! This road will not be peaceful, I hope everyone can achieve their wishes! ”

Long Fei'er seemed to be grim and coldly staring at a group of teenagers who were about to move at this time, pretending to be a powerful appearance, and when she and Yun Xiaotian first met on the Chuluo, they were completely two different types of girls.

She understands that not everyone here is obedient to them, but it is not yet the time to meet the poor dagger, but everyone maintains a delicate balance for the sake of a common goal.

Now cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and division is harmful.

When you really get to the gate of the so-called Gate of Purgatory, I'm afraid everyone will have their own plans, and they won't be polite.

After all, everyone is here to participate in the Xingfu Academy test, which is a competitive relationship, and it would be a miracle if everyone could really be harmonious and beautiful all the time.

Immediately afterwards, Long Fei'er pointed to the leader of the Black Wind Sand Thieves beside him and said, "Our name is Sword Villa, and we will form an alliance with the Black Wind Sand Bandits, and this is the messenger sent by the Black Wind Sand Bandits. ”

The leader of the Black Wind and Sand Bandits, who took a step further, began to talk endlessly about his righteousness in the world and their lofty ideals of the Black Wind and Sand Bandits. In short, they speak eloquently about the cruelty of the Holy City and the Holy Mountain, and they are the heroes who put an end to this brutal rule. And now, they need the help of your teenage heroes in front of them.

Yun Xiaotian didn't know how many people would be moved by him, after all, the people who could come here were not stupid, so naturally they were not so easily moved by his empty words, and the answer in his heart was zero.

They cooperated with the Black Wind Sand Bandits, but they only took what they needed, and through the power of the Black Wind Sand Bandits, they borrowed the Holy Mountain, and then found a way to find the legendary Purgatory Gate, so that they could complete the test of the Star Mansion Annex.

As for the righteousness of the world and the cruel truth on the Holy Mountain, what does the Black Wind Sand Thief say about it, and what does it have to do with them, they will not be easily moved by this.

After all, to them, it's all just an illusion.

After the envoy of the Black Wind Sand Thieves left, the entire Famous Sword Mountain Villa seemed to be set on fire, and it seemed that everyone had a flushed and excited smile on their faces, full of anticipation for the upcoming war against the Holy Mountain.

Most of them had been prepared for this for a long time, and they had been eager to try it for a long time, but the time was not enough, so they had to suppress and wait before.

Now the time is finally ripe, and they have been here for more than twenty days, and they have been waiting for this moment.

For them, after a clueless confusion and a boredom of waiting, now they just want this damn test to be over sooner rather than later.

Even if they were chopped off in the neck with a knife, it would be much happier than Ling Chi, who waited endlessly to be stabbed again and again.

No one expected that the Xingfu Courtyard would be so domineering, and they couldn't help but make their own claims, and as soon as they finished registering, they immediately started this test. Without saying anything, they threw them in here and left them to find clues on their own and go around blind.

And the time of this test is too long, even if more than 20 days have passed, everything still seems so far away.

Many of them have run out of patience.

Yun Xiaotian and Ai Bingtai followed behind the crowd, and after picking out a standard long sword for themselves, they returned to the stove where they and Lao Jia were.

"You're going to the Holy City?" Lao Jia asked.

Yun Xiaotian didn't answer, looked at the mysterious gray-haired thin old man, and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Lao Jia pointed to the outside of the stove room and said with a smile: "It's almost noisy outside, and I'm not deaf, so I naturally hear it." ”

Lao Jia's hands were covered with calluses, his thumb was between his middle and index fingers, he held the slightly reddish and rusty tongs, clamped a piece of charcoal, and added it to the earthen stove with only some orange flames inside.

He patted the black charcoal and dust that had been absorbed by the calluses in his hand, turned around and stood up, looking up at Yun Xiaotian, a young man with a sword in his hand.

If he had a deep meaning, he said as if laughing at himself: "Don't hang up easily, I don't want my craft to be lost so soon!" ”

Yun Xiaotian was puzzled for a long time, and said directly: "The old gentleman can teach others, why did you choose me?" ”

Lao Jia, laughing, a little helpless, said: "I said why are you so troublesome!" Didn't I say it earlier? Look at you. ”

"What's more, even if you teach, people may not be willing to learn, I do chores in a stove, but no one is as stupid as you, and will seriously learn some cooking and cutting skills with me."

"Besides, you also know that I'm afraid not everyone can learn my skills."

"We're the kind of people! You'll find out sooner or later! Hahaha......! ”

Lao Jia smiled casually, looking at Yun Xiaotian and feeling unfathomable, and there seemed to be a little satisfying bitterness in it.

Although Yun Xiaotian was still puzzled, he didn't seem to be talking to him more when he looked at Lao Jia's lack of interest.

Sometimes when he accidentally sees Lao Jia, he always has a chilling feeling from time to time.

These days, although Yun Xiaotian is disgusted and afraid of the other party, he has never really believed in him.

Maybe ......it's because Lao Jia is too good to him, and it's inexplicable and unreasonable.

There is nothing inexplicably good in this world, and some may have ulterior motives that you don't know.

Lao Jia didn't want to continue to dwell on this, he diverted the topic, and said kindly and a little scoundrel: "Don't think about leaving tomorrow, just don't want to work!" ”

"Be quick, don't hurry up...... Get to work! ”

Sleepless nights.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the starlight is like a pool of lake water, shining brightly, shining through the sparse thin clouds, shining into the windowsill.

Tomorrow we are about to leave, and although some people are still asleep, they are still lying in their beds.

The whole villa seemed to fall into a temporary silence.

It seems that even the faint sound of insects is extra cautious.

Lao Jia had not yet slept, and at this time he came to the famous Sword Villa and came to a dark forest among the trees.

He whispered a secret code, his face was indifferent and cold, and walked towards the darkness ahead.

At the end of the code, I saw a man waiting for a long time. When he saw Lao Jia, he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Everything is in the plan, but there seem to be a few people who still don't seem to believe in us." ”

Lao Jia picked up the man and said, "I've told you how many times, there's no need for this." ”

Hearing this person's report, Lao Jia then lowered his head and pondered, after a long time, his eyebrows were furrowed, like an old copper lock, he raised his head and said: "The other party's power is deep-rooted, I know that this matter is difficult, but the arrow is on the string, I have to send it!" It's already ......, and I can't wait for others to make up their minds! ”

"You've done a great job! It's just that we have no choice but to fight for it! ”

"Go back! I'll show up then! ”

The man asked, "What's going on here?" ”

Lao Jia seemed to have a rare trust in this person, and he didn't think he was upset, and replied calmly: "I already know it, you don't need to worry." ”

Looking at the back of the departing man, Lao Jia let out a long sigh, looking quite lonely, and he didn't know what he was sighing.

He stood quietly in place, looking up at the vast starry sky in a daze for a long time.

A sense of powerlessness poured out and rushed towards him.

The mountain breeze at night seems to be a little colder.
