Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, "The disciple is still quite worried, this time the battle of life and death is too risky!"

"Ruochen, you have to remember that when you embark on the path of cultivation, it is an adventure. Every strong person must have gone through countless trials and withstood the test of life and death. People who are afraid of death, practicing kendo, will only die faster. ”

Immediately, Xuanji Sword Saint smiled and said, "In this life as a teacher, except for one thing, it is actually very complete. ”

Zhang Ruochen asked, "What's the matter?"

Xuanji Sword Saint sighed: "The biggest regret of being a teacher is that I couldn't teach a successor who can inherit the mantle. ”

"The master who is a teacher is a sword saint, the master is also a sword saint, and the master is still a sword saint...... , this vein has already inherited sixteen Sword Saints, could it be that when the generation of teachers arrives, the inheritance of the Sword Saints will be broken?"

Through the words of Xuanji Sword Saint, Zhang Ruochen could feel that Shizun had indeed put his mind very flat, and he had long regarded life and death very lightly, and was even ready to die in battle.

"Senior brother, can't you inherit the mantle of the master?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Xuanji Sword Saint shook his head and said, "Qingxiao's talent is very high, but it's a pity that it is not suitable for cultivating swordsmanship. He can be holy, but he can't become a sword saint. ”

"What about the second senior brother and the third senior brother?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Xuanji Sword Saint said: "The second child's character is too savage, he only knows how to pursue absolute strength, but he doesn't understand the subtlety and changes of swordsmanship, and he is destined to fail to reach the realm of Sword Saint." As for the third child...... His talent is a little worse, and if he puts his mind to other places, he can't become a sword master. ”

"The fourth senior brother and the fifth senior sister are also first-class geniuses. Zhang Ruochen said.

Xuanji Sword Saint continued to shake his head, staring at Zhang Ruochen tightly, and said, "Actually, in the heart of the teacher, only you can inherit the mantle. ”

"Me?"

Xuanji Sword Saint nodded and said, "So, when you discuss the sword conference, you must perform well." If so, you can break into the top ten, and when you are in a life-and-death battle, you will no longer have to worry about being a teacher. In this way, the chance of winning for the division in a battle with the Nine Shadows Sword Saint will be much greater. ”

Zhang Ruochen knew that Shizun had high expectations for him, and secretly determined that he could not disappoint Shizun no matter what, and did his best to break into the top ten, or even higher.

In the following month, Zhang Ruochen decided to stay by the side of the Xuanji Sword Saint and retreat for a period of time.

Here, Zhang Ruochen can rest assured and boldly enter the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram to cultivate, don't worry, the talented girl of the Holy Book is secretly spying on him.

Zhang Ruochen always felt that the behavior of the talented girl in the holy book was quite abnormal. It is likely that she is already doubting Zhang Ruochen's identity, so she will do those things that Zhang Ruochen cannot understand.

In the future, you must be extremely careful in front of her.

Xuanji Sword Saint asked, "Have you seen your fiancée?"

Zhang Ruochen was suddenly silent and nodded, "I saw her, but she didn't see me." ”

Xuanji Sword Saint's brows furrowed, and he said, "You plan to never tell her the truth?"

"Master, if she knew that I was not dead, she would be happy for a while, but ...... To be miserable for a lifetime. Do you think I should tell her?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly, raised his head, and stared at the Xuanji Sword Saint.

Xuanji Sword Saint let out a long sigh and said, "One is life and death, and the other is love but can't be together." The former, after all, is a pain for a while. The latter, however, will be painful for a lifetime. Although the teacher does not understand the relationship between men and women, he still agrees with your approach. ”

As long as Empress Chi Yao is still alive, Zhang Ruochen can only live in a dark corner forever, and he does not dare to show his true face.

You can't force Huang Yanchen to betray his parents, betray his family, flee with Zhang Ruochen, and live a life of exile. No one knows which day she and Zhang Ruochen will die unexpectedly, and there are no bones left.

Perhaps, Huang Yanchen will be willing.

Zhang Ruochen was unwilling and asked her to make a dilemma. In the end, maybe more innocent people will be involved in the grievances between him and Chi Yao.

Zhang Ruochen certainly knew that Huang Yanchen must be very sad about his death.

But this kind of sadness, after all, will continue to become shallow, fade and fade over time, and finally become a bitter memory.

"If you want to talk to her, the teacher can help you. ”

Xuanji Sword Saint's lips moved, and he transmitted a sound to the yellow smoke and dust in the air.

After a while, Huang Yanchen hurried over, came to the lotus pond, bowed down to the Xuanji Sword Saint, and said, "Master, what are you asking your disciples to come over?"

Xuanji Sword Saint pointed at Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile: "Yanchen, I will introduce you to a young hero, this is the sword wizard of the Liangyi Sect, Lin Yue. ”

Huang Yanchen glanced at Zhang Ruochen, looking very indifferent, but he still bowed his hand to Zhang Ruochen and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Lin Yue." ”

Zhang Ruochen observed Huang Yanchen at close range, showed a faint smile, and said, "Senior Sister Yanchen, if you are in trouble in the Liangyi Sect, you can come to me." ”

Huang Yanchen smiled coldly: "My trouble, I'm afraid it's not that you can help." ”

The trouble that the yellow smoke refers to is naturally the snow without night.

Of course, she wouldn't believe that the so-called kendo wizard in front of her could be Xue Wuye's opponent. It is estimated that when he heard Xue Wuye's name, he was already so frightened that he turned around and fled.

She has seen too much of such a genius, so she is naturally quite disdainful.

Zhang Ruochen could probably guess Huang Yanchen's thoughts, and said, "If you don't say it, how do you know that I can't help?"

Huang Yanchen turned his head directly, not bothering to pay attention to him.

In her opinion, Lin Yue's words were very frivolous, and his eyes stared at her from beginning to end, making her uncomfortable.

If it hadn't been for Shizun to come forward and let her meet Lin Yue, it is estimated that she would have left a long time ago.

A stranger, who takes the initiative to be courteous, of course she will be quite guarded, even disgusted.

If she knew that the man standing opposite was Zhang Ruochen, it would definitely be another idea.

Xuanji Sword Saint said: "Smoke and dust, if the dust matter, so long has passed, you should also let go." There are many places of interest in the Liangyi Sect, among them, there are also relics left by the ancient saints. The teacher has already made his own arrangements for you, let Lin Yue take you out for a walk, only out of the haze of the past, maybe you will see some different beautiful scenery. ”

Huang Yanchen's eyes were very firm: "Master, the disciple doesn't want to go out for a walk, he just wants to retreat and practice swordsmanship." ”

The Xuanji Sword Saint glanced at Zhang Ruochen, revealing a helpless expression.

Zhang Ruochen understood Huang Yanchen's character quite well, so he said coldly: "Sword cultivation, there should be an indomitable spirit." Blind retreat and cultivation, the sword, will become sluggish. Blindly escaping from reality, the way of the sword, must stop. ”

He also said: "A person like you is only worthy of being a slave of the sword, and cannot be a sword cultivator." It turned out that the Sword Saint disciples were nothing more than that, which really disappointed me. ”

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen turned around and left.

Before leaving, he also deliberately glanced at Huang Yanchen, revealing a sarcastic look.

"Wait. Huang Yanchen raised his head, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

The corners of Zhang Ruochen's mouth hooked and stopped.

Huang Yanchen smiled coldly and said, "Since you are so crazy, I will take you to a place, but I want to see how much arrogance you have." ”

After saying this, Huang Yanchen walked out first.

Zhang Ruochen immediately followed and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Ten Thousand Sky Cliffs. Huang Yanchen said.

Located on the north side of Shentai Castle, Wankong Cliff is a thousand-zhang high cliff that stretches from the ground to the ground.

Wankong Cliff is divided into East Cliff and West Cliff, and at the bottom of the two cliffs, there is a red magma river, rolling and flowing. In the middle of the river, the fire emitted made the black stone wall reflect a layer of red light.

On the cliff wall, stone stairs are excavated to connect the grottoes.

Each grotto is a shop, either selling war weapons, or selling elixirs, or selling brute beasts...... , Monks from the major forces in the Eastern Regions, coming and going, are buying some rare cultivation items.

At the bottom of the east cliff, there is a central grotto, supported by one hundred and seventy-two stone pillars, and inside it, it appears very empty and can accommodate thousands of people.

At this time, the descendants of the major sage gates in the Eastern Regions, the proud sons of heaven and the proud daughters of heaven of the major sects, all gathered here. When Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen arrived, there were already many young monks in the central grotto.

Zhang Ruochen saw a lot of familiar figures, including genius students from Wushi Qianzhuang, such as: Nie Honglou, Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, Ao Xinyan, and Luo Shuihan. There are also some young people in the black market, such as: Purple Wind Star Envoy, Red Desire Star Envoy, and Orange Moon Star Envoy.

The geniuses of the Demon Sect were all wearing black robes, and the vest position of the robe was embroidered with a round of silver crescent marks.

Mu Lingxi was also wearing a black silver moon robe, looking extremely beautiful, and he was also getting together with the geniuses of the Demon Sect, as if they were talking about something.

The descendants of the major sage gates are also gathered into small groups, in groups of three or five, who are communicating with each other, or discussing some major events that have happened recently, or talking about the top geniuses of each domain, or exchanging kendo experiences with each other.

Walking into the grotto, Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power and carefully observed the young monks present. Retracting his spiritual power, Zhang Ruochen's heart was secretly surprised, just the Holy Body, he found eight of them, and each of them exuded a very strong aura. Even, there are a few people, and Zhang Ruochen can't see them through.

Sure enough, it is the young generation of the Eastern Regions, the top genius event. (To be continued.) )
