The night is as cool as water, and everything is quiet.

Su Ye felt a sense of loneliness in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to leave here and go to the East Courtyard to find her sister.

"I don't know how my sister is?" Su Xueyi's voice and smile flashed in front of him, "My sister is not a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I don't know if Senior Ye has embarrassed her." ”

The east courtyard is not far from the north courtyard, and when he followed the man in Tsing Yi over, Su Ye had already memorized the route clearly.

It's just that in the dead of night at the moment, it is estimated that Su Xueyi has already fallen asleep, if he disturbs it again, it will not only disturb his sister's dream, but also cause misunderstanding.

Thoughts are chaotic and restless.

Su Ye frowned, and asked irritably, "What's wrong with me?"

It had only been half a day since he entered Ziyun Xuan, and the Praetorian Guards outside had already left, so it was said that at present, there was no danger that could threaten Su Xueyi, he shouldn't be so worried.

But for some reason, in his heart, his sister's white shadow always flashed.

Su Ye shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away the cranky thoughts in his mind, stood up, walked into the dark courtyard, and sighed lightly: "Since you can't sleep, let's practice swords!"

He remembered that during this period of time, he had not yet cultivated quietly, and although he had seen the 'Reckless Nine Swords' taught by the man in white a few times, he had not yet had time to figure it out and use it.

Being in the bottomless whirlpool of forces in the Lingdu, Su Ye thought that if he didn't strengthen his strength as soon as possible, he might not be able to move an inch.

"Strength!" Su Ye's eyes flickered, remembering all the things he had experienced from Black Iron City to Lingdu, and he couldn't help but sigh in a deep voice, "To survive in this world, to be able to independently decide your own fate, it seems that after all, you can only continue to enhance your own strength." ”

With one foot, he picked up a long wooden strip in the courtyard, turned it into a long sword, and in the dark, he practiced the nine-style swordsmanship he had realized in accordance with the 'Reckless Nine Swords'.

It's like every life-and-death battle

Su Ye had not weakened the strength and sword momentum in his hands by any point because of the practice.

Every style and blow of his life was like thunder and lightning, and the fierce and powerless wooden strips gradually turned into sharp swords in the fierce swordsmanship, tearing through the sky and disturbing the night.

"Okay, very good, my Heavenly Sword Sect hasn't seen a teenager who is so serious about practicing swords for many years. A clear female voice suddenly came from the dark courtyard gate, and she praised in surprise, "At a young age, the first 'Reckless Nine Swords', you can comprehend them all, it's really unexpected." ”

"Who?" exclaimed Su Ye, turning his head suddenly.

He faced the dark night, stared at it, and saw Ye Mengru, dressed in white, walking slowly towards the courtyard, with a smile on his beautiful face and a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Ye senior. Su Ye threw away the wooden strip in his hand, clenched his fists and bowed his head, and called in a deep voice.

Ye Mengru bowed slightly, stared at him, and asked, "How long did it take you to realize this nine-style swordsmanship?"

"The junior was dull, and it took about seven days to see the nine-style swordsmanship hidden in the sword spectrum. Su Ye replied in a deep voice.

"Seven days!" Ye Mengru's heart shook violently, his face changed greatly, and he was extremely surprised, "You said, it only took you seven days to fully comprehend this nine-style swordsmanship?"

She gasped in disbelief, and was shocked by Su Ye's kendo talent.

The entire Heavenly Sword Sect, there are tens of thousands of disciples, each of whom is in the world, and they are all amazing talents, but for hundreds of years, none of these disciples have been able to comprehend the first 'Reckless Nine Swords' nine-style swordsmanship in just seven days, if Su Ye is not lying at this moment, then the kendo talent he has shown can be regarded as the first person among all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect for hundreds of years.

"No wonder he can get Senior Brother Chu's favor. Ye Mengru said secretly in her heart, "The kendo talent revealed by this son, even if he doesn't meet Senior Brother Chu, I'm afraid that the masters of other sects will not let it go." ”

Her eyes flashed with essence, and she carefully swept over Su Ye's whole body, and after a moment of silence, she said lightly: "Your swordsmanship foundation is very good, and your talent is amazing, but your cultivation is too weak." ”

Su Ye nodded, and he was also helpless about the strength of the warrior who had just been promoted to the seventh order.

After the battle of the Elite City, his strength did not advance but retreated, even though the path to the realm of the innate peak in front of him was no longer hindered, but if he wanted to break through, it would take time to accumulate.

Ye Mengru saw the helpless look on his face, knowing that he was distressed by the limitations of his own strength and could not exert the true power of the 'Reckless Nine Swords', he thought for a moment in his heart, couldn't help but smile slyly, and said in a deep voice: "The weather is good tonight, are you interested in going out for a walk with me." ”

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she meant.

But when he saw that Ye Mengru's eyes were gentle and not malicious, he couldn't help but nod under the groan in his heart.

Seeing Su Ye agree, Ye Mengru smiled lightly, and without waiting for him to react, he grabbed his arm and went straight up into the air, passing over countless houses, and instantly landed in front of the towering mountain behind the imperial city.

Su Ye was suddenly startled, shocked by this kind of strength that shrunk into inches.

He was full of doubts, he didn't know why Ye Mengru brought him here, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior Ye, what are we ......?"

"Take you to see the magnificent scenery of Lingdu City. Ye Mengru looked up at the top of the mountain in the darkness, not knowing where to stretch out, and said in a deep voice, "Only by standing on the top of the mountain peak can you see the scenery of the entire Lingdu and know the prosperity of this imperial capital." ”

She looked at Su Ye and said with a smile: "I'll go up and wait for you first, before dawn, I hope you can climb up, otherwise the two little beauties around you can only see in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"What!" Su Ye was shocked.

"The two of them are not from the Heavenly Sword Sect in the first place, so there is no reason for them to stay in my Purple Cloud Pavilion. Ye Mengru's eyes were bright, and she said in a condensed voice, "Handing over the two of them to Prime Minister Wang not only calms the anger of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also gives an explanation for your killing of Wang Gongzi, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"Senior, don't ......" Su Ye was anxious and shouted loudly.

"Why not?" Ye Mengru pretended to be surprised and said, "Ziyun Xuan, as the foothold of my sect in the world, only accepts the disciples of the sect, and the rest of the people who have nothing to do with it will not give shelter, those two little girls have nothing to do with my Heavenly Sword Sect at all, how can I let them stay in Ziyun Xuan?"

"My sister and I live and die together, and their lives are far more important than those of our younger generations......," Su Ye hurriedly said in a hurry, "...... That Xiao girl is the only orphan of the Xiao Mansion, if the seniors are like this, the juniors should be cut off from the Heavenly Sword Sect......"

"Really?" Ye Mengru's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through Su Ye's entire heart, Ling Ran said, "Since you want me to keep the two of them in Ziyun Xuan, then, within these three months, you must do exactly what I say, if there is a trace of slackness, not only will the two of them be expelled from Ziyun Xuan, and their lives will not be guaranteed, I'm afraid even you will be like this!"

Su Ye's heart was stunned, and in the face of Ye Mengru's unpredictable strength, he couldn't resist at all.

He gritted his teeth and could only reluctantly agree.

"Now......" Ye Mengru looked at him, pointed to the peak in front of him, and said sternly, "Your task is to climb from the bottom of the mountain here to the top of the mountain before dawn." ”

She smiled and strode across the void, along the mountain, and walked up the clouds, but in an instant, she disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Su Ye looked at Ye Mengru's disappearing figure and gasped.

Ye Mengru's stunt of shrinking the ground into inches and crossing the void simply amazed him.

He pondered and weighed for a moment, knowing that he had no other path to choose, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and obediently climbed towards the peak of the towering clouds according to Ye Mengru's request.

The mountain is rugged and extremely steep, like a straight cliff.

Su Ye's spirit was tense, and all the internal force was infused into his limbs, stepping on the protruding mountain rock, constantly climbing upward, and after persevering for an hour, he was able to cross the bottom of the mountain and come to the middle of the peak.

He looked up and saw that this place was hundreds of zhang upward, all of which were inclined and smooth concave and convex mountain rocks, and there was no mountain road to follow, and his heart couldn't help but be desperate.

Behind him is a vast void, and there is no way to retreat.

Su Ye clenched his teeth, knowing that if he didn't enter, he would die, so he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, bit his lip hard, and climbed up again with sweat.

This upward path was more than ten times more difficult than his journey from the bottom of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

Many times, Su Ye climbed the protruding mountain rocks and went up, but he couldn't find the place to focus at all, and for a while, he could only rely on courage and perseverance, in the void, jumping and climbing those rocks that could be strengthened, and it was difficult to go up step by step.

By the time he tried his best to climb the hundreds of zhang distance, the sky was already faintly white.

"Hurry up, you only have an hour. There was a loud shout from the dark void.

Su Ye climbed the mountain rock, his legs dangling in the air, and tried to look up, but he saw that the top of the mountain was still far away, and the road up had unconsciously turned into a vertical cliff face as smooth as a knife and an axe.

"How can I go up to such a cliff face?" he roared angrily with all his strength, "The seniors are really difficult for the strong!"

"Then you're going to die. Ye Mengru heard Su Ye's roar and snorted coldly, "Look behind you, if you don't keep going up, can you still go down?"

Su Ye looked down according to his words, only to see thousands of miles of void, clouds and mist, and he couldn't see the bottom of the peak at all.

If he stopped here, the only path he had left was to fall off a cliff and die.

"I'll give you a little more time, and whenever you can climb to the top, I'll take you down at once. Ye Meng said seductively.

Su Ye was resentful in his heart, looked up to the sky and roared, his arms were forced, his body jumped up, grabbed the gap in the smooth cliff face, and continued to move forward inch by inch with difficulty.

The fountain of internal strength poured into his fingertips, and he used his finger and wrist strength to the extreme, desperately squeezing the last trace of strength in his body.

As time passed, every time he moved his body, the bones and flesh of his body seemed to collapse.

His breathing became more and more rapid, his lungs were torn by the rapid breathing for a while, his clothes were clinging to him, sweat was constantly dripping down, his heart was beating like a giant drum, almost jumping out of his body, the internal force of his whole body was already empty under extreme consumption, there was little physical strength left, and his whole body gradually fell into trembling.

Ignoring the risk of his body collapsing, Su Ye roared, climbed a small crack in the cliff with his fingertips, and jumped up in the air.

He threw himself up with all his might, and he was about to climb the next crack.

At this moment, his trembling fingers suddenly lost their strength, slipped through the gap, and fell with his entire body in the air.
