Chapter 239: Steel Knife Gate
"Hero Continent...... Compared to the past, it hasn't changed much, and it's still the same continent as it was, and it looks like everything should be fine. Zhao Yunxuan looked down at the entire continent from the air and couldn't help but sigh.
After leaving his hometown for so long, and now that he has returned, Zhao Yunxuan will inevitably feel a little excited in his heart, and he really wants to shout the sentence "I, Zhao Yunxuan, are back". However, Zhao Yunxuan still held back, his excitement should be shown when he saw that Qin Ming and other old friends and seniors were safe and sound.
Zhao Yunxuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and calmly said to Yan Xueli beside him: "Li'er, let's go down." Let's see how Uncle Qin is. ”
Yan Xueli answered, and then fell to the ground with Zhao Yunxuan and stepped into Zhongzhou City.
The city of Zhongzhou has changed a lot compared to a few decades ago. The scale is three times that of the past, from an ordinary city where civilians were all over the city to a large Star Cultivator Fang City similar to the outside world, although the items are not comprehensive, but it is already a big change compared to the past, Zhao Yunxuan is very pleased with this.
In addition, Zhao Yunxuan was also able to see mortals and star cultivators. Although there used to be star cultivators living in Zhongzhou City, compared to today, the number of people before was obviously pitiful.
Today's star cultivators can be said to be in groups of three or five in Zhongzhou City, generally dressed in white clothes and gray lines, carrying steel knives, looking like they are patrolling, and their cultivation is also generally under the Immortal Star Realm, but it is not lower than the twenty levels of the Spirit Star Realm, and compared with the members of the Rebel Alliance back then, the quality is already much higher.
"I didn't expect that in the decades since we left, Zhongzhou City has changed so much. Zhao Yunxuan preached to Yan Xueli with relief at this moment.
Zhao Yunxuan was happy, and Yan Xueli was also happy, so she said with a smile: "It seems that Uncle Qin Ming has governed Zhongzhou City well, it seems that apart from us, Uncle Qin Ming is not idle." ”
"yes. Zhao Yunxuan smiled and said: "It seems that the mainland is not as I thought, something big has happened, it seems that I am too worried, then let's go see Uncle Qin Ming first." ”
"Hmm. Yan Xueli nodded very casually, and then followed Zhao Yunxuan to Qin Ming's mansion. Qin Ming's mansion is still there, and it hasn't changed much. It's just that there is no change in the mansion, Zhao Yunxuan pays more attention to the people in front of Qin Ming's mansion.
At this moment, a few star cultivators with steel knives on their backs and gray white clothes walked out in front of the mansion. And after they walked out of the mansion, one of them warned the mansion in a threatening tone: "Qin Ming! The master of the door has given you the last three days to think about it! If you don't give an answer, then you will be treated as an enemy! Brothers, let's go!"
Looking at those who were leaving, Zhao Yunxuan and Yan Xueli turned their heads to look at each other, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts, judging from the words and deeds of these people, it seemed that they were not the star cultivators formed by Qin Ming.
No matter what happened, ask Qin Ming about it, and their doubts would naturally be solved.
The two walked into Qin Ming's mansion and saw Qin Ming standing in front of the mansion.
Qin Ming at this moment has not changed much compared to Qin Ming a few decades ago, but his cultivation is higher. It's just that at this moment, he has a sad face, and he has no temperament at all when he was young.
"Uncle Qin Ming!" Zhao Yunxuan shouted. Qin Ming hurriedly looked out the door after hearing Zhao Yunxuan's voice, and the moment he saw Zhao Yunxuan, the look of his sad face suddenly disappeared, replaced by only horror, and then turned into surprise.
"Are you...... Xiao Xuan, and Miss Li'er, you're back!"
As he spoke, Qin Ming walked quickly to Zhao Yunxuan excitedly, and looked at the two of them with a look of disbelief but mixed with a bit of joy, "You guys...... It's back!"
Zhao Yunxuan also responded to Qin Ming's reaction with excitement and a smile at this moment, "Yes, Uncle Qin Ming, we're back!"
Qin Ming nodded to the two of them with a smile, looked at the two of them with a look of satisfaction, and then said with satisfaction: "Xiao Xuan has grown up, I can't even see through your kid's cultivation! It seems that in the past few decades of going out to practice, your kid has grown a lot! And watching the two of you walk together, it's like a young couple." Talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven!haha!"
In normal times, Zhao Yunxuan and Yan Xueli would be a little embarrassed when they heard others say this, but now the relationship between the two has long been stable, except that they have no husband and wife status, their relationship is by no means inferior to that of any couple, and they regard each other as their other half. For this, the two of them did not show any embarrassment either.
"Uncle Qin Ming, I can say these words later, now I have some questions......"
"I know what you want to ask. Qin Ming interrupted Zhao Yunxuan's words at this time and said, "You want to ask why there are so many star cultivators in the city, right?"
Zhao Yunxuan nodded. Qin Ming turned around and said, "Come in and talk about it." ”
The two followed Qin Ming into the conference hall. Zhao Yunxuan has seen Qin Ming's mansion, there is no change from a few decades ago, compared with the buildings and streets outside, it looks much older, that is, there are servants to clean it, but this mansion is still cleaner. Including the furnishings, tables and chairs in this chamber, they are exactly the same as they were back then, so familiar.
Qin Ming asked the two to sit down at will, while he himself sat opposite the two of them, and beckoned the servants to serve tea to Zhao Yunxuan and Yan Xueli.
"Uncle Qin Ming, what happened on the mainland during the time we left?"
As soon as Zhao Yunxuan mentioned this, Qin Ming shook his head and sighed, but he didn't answer directly, but continued the topic he had just said outside: "Those guys who just walked out of my mansion, you have all seen it, they are the people of the Steel Knife Gate. ”
"Steel Knife Gate?" Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help frowning when he heard these three words, "I only know that the Hero Continent once had these Jianghu sects, such as the Golden Sword Gate, the Heavenly Sword Gate, and the Iron Blade Gate, what kind of thing is his Steel Sword Gate? The name of this sect sounds awkward." ”
Qin Ming explained: "The Steel Dao Sect is naturally not the inheritance sect of my Hero Continent. It is a newly established small sect belonging to the Star Cultivators. ”
"Who built it?" Zhao Yunxuan asked. He was curious, he originally had the intention of establishing a sect on the mainland, but now that he was the first to ascend, Zhao Yunxuan was still a little unwilling.
"A master from outside the continent built it. ”
When Qin Ming said that it was founded by someone from outside the continent, his emotions began to get excited.
And when Zhao Yunxuan heard that it was a sect established by people outside the mainland, Zhao Yunxuan was also very annoyed. The continent where he lived when he was a child was actually given by others as the foundation for the sect! This is even more influential than when the Sea Fish Demon invaded in the first place!
Although there were heavy casualties at the beginning, they finally drove out those invading sea fish demons. But now that the mainland has directly become the territory of someone else's established sect, how can Zhao Yunxuan and Qin Ming not be angry?
"It's a pity that I don't have the strength to fight against them," Qin Ming said sadly and indignantly: "A year ago, when they first came here, they used to shout to challenge the masters of the continent, and bet with us that if we lost, the mainland would be used as the territory of their sect building. We had no choice but to agree to the bet. ”
"The result is obvious, we lost very badly! In the entire continent, I am the only one who has reached the Immortal Star Realm to cultivate, but among those who are attacked by the other party, which one of them is not in the middle of the Immortal Star Realm? I originally thought that if I could improve my cultivation to the Immortal Star Realm, I would have the strength to protect the continent, but after the battle, I realized that my level of strength was nothing at all. ”
"And what happens after you lose?" Zhao Yunxuan asked patiently. He needs to know each other in detail before he can decide what to do next.
Qin Ming continued: "After we lost, they quickly occupied Zhongzhou City and announced the establishment of their sect in Zhongzhou City, the Steel Knife Gate. ”
"But the only thing that is lucky is that they didn't massacre the inhabitants of the mainland. And they are also helping to develop the economy of the mainland, and when you come, you look at the stalls, which they have built with their funds. It also attracted some star cultivators who had just gone out to practice, and it also had certain advantages for the development of the mainland, but it was ......"
"Just what?" Zhao Yunxuan asked.
Qin Ming continued: "It's just that although they seem to want to coexist peacefully with us on the surface, their Steel Sword Sect disciples, including those elder-level figures, are all indulgent and uninhibited, and they usually oppress the mortals in the city, and they come to my mansion every once in a while to ask for the martial arts secrets handed down from the mainland, and those who just came are here to ask for the secrets." ”
"Looks like they have other ambitions. Yan Xueli, who was next to Zhao Yunxuan, said to Zhao Yunxuan at this time: "Brother Xuan, do you want to meet them? In short, let's contact them first in order to get to know them better." ”
"Don't worry," Zhao Yunxuan said, "I'll definitely go and meet them later." Then he asked Qin Ming, "How do they know that our continent will have cheats?"
Qin Ming took a sip of tea and said, "Among them, there are star cultivators who used to be from our Hero Continent. I didn't admit it when they first came to ask for it. But those people said that among them, there was an elder from the Steel Daomen from the Hero Continent, so they came to ask for it again and again. ”
"Why didn't they come and rob it?" Yan Xueli asked puzzledly, "Since they are stronger than you, they can come and threaten you and ask you to hand over the cheats." ”
Zhao Yunxuan replied for Qin Ming: "Those cheats are all in the Scripture Pavilion, and only Uncle Qin Ming knows the location and how to enter the Scripture Pavilion, I think they are worried about robbing, Uncle Qin Ming will destroy the cheats." ”
"But they're running out of patience. Qin Ming said worriedly: "The Hidden Scripture Pavilion is under the ground of my mansion, and they can guess it." Just now, the people from the Steel Knife Gate said that if they didn't hand it over after three days, their master would come in person, and then they would see me as against them and put me to death. The strength of that sect master, I'm afraid it's almost to the legendary Divine Star Realm, and I can't beat him at all. For this reason, I have been worrying about whether to hand over the secret book of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. ”
"Of course you can't hand them over!" Zhao Yunxuan said decisively at this time, "Those secret books are the painstaking efforts of the masters of my Hero Continent for thousands of years, how can they give them away so easily? No matter why they want to get the secret books, just because they occupy other people's hometowns at will, they can't agree to them! Then what kind of steel knife sect master is not yet cultivating in the Divine Star Realm? Then I would like to meet them! Since they will come in person in three days, then we will wait for them here!"
