Those who had cultivated to their point had not trembled and surrendered to a sword intent for many years, but not long ago, they had once again felt the powerlessness of their lives. Not even one could trace the source of that sword intent.
"Murong," Chu He looked to the other side with a smile and said, "We have counted you as the best at swordsmanship, but what have you found?"
Everyone followed his gaze, and they were all stunned, only to realize that their group of people had blocked each other at some point, and hurriedly retreated to both sides with a smile.
The crowd parted, revealing a smiling face on the other side. The young man sat reclining on a chair, his purple robe with wide sleeves, and his hand caressing the scabbard was pale and distinct. He raised his finger and knocked twice, Dan Feng's eyes looked at him, and said, "Chu is busy, you finally remembered me at this time?"
Hearing him speak to Chu Heyi in this tone, no one felt strange. Everyone present came more or less dependent on Chu Heyi, but Murong Jue was not.
Murong Jue's self-styled nature is also well-known in the Divine Domain, this master who can even say that he is rebellious if he disagrees with his own family, and it is a joke to expect him to bow down to whoever he wants. The reason why Murong Jue is willing to sit in this room is purely because of friendship.
Listening to his ridicule, Chu Heyi was indifferent, and only said lightly: "I thought you weren't here." β
Murong Jue was puzzled, frowned, and said, "What." β
"Otherwise," Chu Heyi asked rhetorically, "Just now, Yan Ling Jiang Shou and them came to embarrass me, why don't you know how to help?"
Murong Jue immediately gave him a big roll of his eyes, and said with an angry smile: "Come on, you......! You can say it. β
Chu He looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.
After looking at each other for a long time, Murong Jue finally sat up a little straighter, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it first, the swords I practice have always been very cheesy, and they are not right with their sunny spring and snow, don't blame me for being wrong in the future." β
Chu Heyi said helplessly: "I remember, I remember!"
"First of all, it's certainly not an acquaintance, at least I don't know each other. Murong Jue said, his tone still very nonchalant, "Secondly, that sword was obviously just enlightened, and it was not stable at all...... I guess in the end, the man was still startled by himself, and the sword intent was dispersed directly, otherwise maybe he could hold on a little longer. β
Everyone listened silently, only feeling that it was thrilling just now, how could it not be the same thing at all after Murong Jue said this?
Chu He said, "So, that sword was actually learned by that person?"
It is to learn, not to realize it by oneself, otherwise it is impossible to be so surprised by the results of that sword.
"Good. Murong Jue slapped his hands once and said with appreciation: "Sure enough, you are the only one who has found the point." β
Chu Heyi coughed lightly and continued casually: "So there is another person who really realizes, or has mastered that sword intent. β
"The former. Murong Jue raised his eyelids and said, "That sword intent itself is completely in line with this heaven and earth qi, so it can only be the former." β
Chu Heyi listened to him firmly, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "You also have gains." β
"Yes, but I only thought of it after the fact, and," Murong Jue flicked his sleeves with an irritable expression, and said lightly: "I can't do it even if I think about it." β
Speaking of this, Murong Jue paused, silently deduced for a moment again, and repeated: "...... Still won't work. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it right now. β
Chu He said to Suo Shaoqing, "Could it be Cheng Yuan?"
Murong Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
"Yes," Chu Heyi sighed and said, "There is a person in the middle, and it is impossible to verify." β
Judging from that sword alone, "No matter how casual he usually is, when it comes to certain things, Murong Jue is still cautious enough." He said: "The way of the sword is upright, and there is no murderous intention, not like." β
Although everyone knows that this is indeed the case, but remembering the number that Chu Heyi put forward not long ago - in just six and a half days, in the team of the Central Continent Martial Academy, there are twenty people who have made progress in swordsmanship. This is not just a matter of environmental luck, but only proves that there must be a kendo master on the team.
Needless to say, Yu Zhengze, who came from the Taoist Academy, was mediocre in their eyes, Princess Anlan of the Dragon Clan was not good at swordsmanship, and Cheng Yuan didn't seem to be a person who could patiently teach students at all...... Is there really someone else? There are no absolutes, and it may not be impossible.
"But there's one more, most important one. Murong Jue spoke again at this time, and said in a low voice: "That sword...... It is the same path as the Hidden Sect. β
As we all know, the Hidden Sect is the place where the ancestors of the past generations have taken root. Although Murong Jue didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew the deep meaning very well. And on this issue, no one here is more qualified to judge than Murong Jue, because the family from which Murong Jue was born is the Murong Clan of the Hidden Sect. He himself is the descendant of three generations.
In the silence, Murong Jue raised his eyes to look at Chu Heyi and affirmed, "Chu Heyi, you know that rumor. β
"Which one?" Chu He was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Just the one of the 'two nine generations'?"
He said this casually, but he didn't know how many people's hearts were shocked.
As soon as Murong Jue rolled his eyes, he saw that more than half of the people around him were completely unaware, and sneered: "It's really good to hide it...... Those who think they are clever don't know what they mean. β
Chu Heyi smiled bitterly. The man scolded him with him.
"What," Murong Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't believe it?" or ...... You've been sure for a long time?"
Chu Heyi shook his head and said, "I just don't like information that can't be determined and manipulated, and I think it's useless to say more." β
Murong Jue breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "This is like you." β
"So I'm more used to speculating on my own. Chu He's words turned around, and he said with a smile: "I have an idea, maybe the Eternal Silence Platform that is about to be born is related to the way of the sword...... Like, maybe it's a sword?"
Truly. There are thousands of legends about the Eternal Silence Tower, some say that it can help people practice for thousands of miles in a day and achieve immortality, some say that it is the strongest defense in the world that must not be broken, and some say that it is an altar to summon ancient gods...... And so on and so forth. But no one can really prove what it is, and who is to say that it can't be a sword?
"Your words are nothing more than one more kind of unreliable speculation. Murong Jue unceremoniously poured a handful of cold water and said leisurely, "I think it's just that this space itself is suitable for our sword cultivation." β
"That's fine. Chu He smiled.
"Brother Chu, Brother Murong, I have heard another way of saying about the ancient battlefield and the eternal silence platform this time," During the pause, another person's voice sounded, slightly hesitating. He said, "I just don't know...... When it is not spoken, it is not allowed to be spoken. β
Chu He said with ease: "Brother Zhou, please speak." β
The man was silent for a moment, and then said, "As you all know, in the past countless years, although the time of the opening of the ancient battlefield has not been stable, at least there are traces to followβbut there has never been such a drastic change as this one hundreds of years in advance...... Therefore, it is highly likely that this matter is man-made. β
Everyone nodded when they heard this, but their expressions did not change much, after all, this was a long time ago.
Of course, the man didn't want to talk nonsense, so he quickly continued in a low voice: "Not only that, I'm afraid you have realized in recent days that most of the people who came to the ancient battlefield this time are actually more or less ...... There is some grudge against the nine generations. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems ......"
Not bad. Listening to the words of the young man surnamed Zhou, many people fell silent. This is also the reason why they were too nervous when they just passed by Cheng Yuan.
"Brother Zhou means that he wants to use us...... What are you going to do?"
"Sacrifice! Everyone who entered the Ancient Battlefield this timeβweβwere all sacrifices he had chosen to obtain the Eternal Silence Terrace......" The man took a breath and said, "It's not my family's wordsβalmost all of the Ancient Battlefield has been spread now!"
"That's right, I've heard about it too!"
"Me too. β
"And my ......"
was picked out by the young man surnamed Zhou, and everyone looked around, shocked to realize that more than half of them had heard about it. There are few things in the world, and perhaps the situation is far more dire than they previously thought.
Naturally, everyone's eyes once again converged on Chu Heyi.
"This matter ......" Chu Heyi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Actually, I have also heard about it, and I have already started to investigate, but it is only because all I have obtained so far is 'rumors', so I have not officially told you about it for the time being." β
Everyone exchanged glances, and someone tried to ask, "Where did Brother Chu hear about it?"
"Me. Murong Jue raised his hand and pointed at himself, and everyone was suddenly dumbfounded.
Chu Heyi nodded and said, "Murong heard it from Senior Brother Li Suli...... Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Senior Brother Li chose to explore the inner realm first. β
"It was so early...... "That was five days ago!"
Some people have gradually retreated in their hearts, while others gritted their teeth and said: "It's better for us to go to the inner realm as soon as possible, a force that gathers everyone, no matter how strong Chengyuan is, what can we do?"
Chu Heyi shook his head and said slowly: "Let's continue to stay here and wait for Cheng Yuan to appear." β
"Cheng Yuan, isn't he already ......?" many people were puzzled.
"No, I mean," Chu Heyi narrowed his eyes, and the figure of the young man walking and laughing with Princess Anlan once again appeared in his mind, and said.
"Let's wait for Cheng Yuan to appear as 'Cheng Yuan'. β
