In late autumn, there is a hint of coolness in the air.

Outside the Heavenly Sword Gate, several spaceships landed in mid-air, and people dressed in different costumes got down from their respective spaceships, and under the reception of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Gate, they entered the Heavenly Sword Gate on foot.

"Sure enough, it is a sect that respects swords, and all the disciples of the Sword Sect carry swords with them these days. A woman in a green dress with a delicate face spoke.

On the side, the man who was also wearing green clothes sneered disdainfully when he heard it: "What can you do with a sword? ”

"You can't say that. The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head slightly, "The strength of ordinary Heavenly Sword Sect disciples is not very good, but that Zhen Xiaoning and Chen Mingxiao, their strength is still quite good, and they were almost defeated by the two of them in last year's competition." ”

"Senior Sister Ning is modest, those two people together are not your opponents, and besides, your current strength is no longer the same, you will definitely be able to easily crush the two of them. Another man in Tsing Yi said with a smile.

"My strength is indeed incomparable, but who knows if the strength of the two of them has also been greatly improved?" The woman in Tsing Yi was not complacent, "Our opponents this time are not only the two of them, the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Frost Xia Sect, the Five Elements Sect, and the Luohua Sect, their strength is much stronger than the Heavenly Sword Sect." ”

"That's right, Nalan Hui of the Heavenly Fire Sect, Shui Wulan of the Frost Xia Sect, Qiu Yue of the Five Elements Sect, and Yang Xuehua of the Luohua Sect, these people were already in the early stage of refining last year, and I am afraid that this year will be even stronger. The man in Tsing Yi who had just spoken nodded in agreement.

Senior Sister Ning, the woman in Tsing Yi, is named Ning Qingluo, who is from the Qinghong Sect like the two men in Tsing Yi, and she is also the first day of the Qinghong Sect.

This time, it was not only the Qinghong Sect who came to the Heavenly Sword Sect, but also the people from the Tianhuo Sect, the Frost Xia Sect, the Five Elements Sect and the Luohua Sect, but the people from the Qinghong Sect were at the front, and the people from the other four major sects were behind.

The seven major sects of the Hidden Dragon Continent, if you count the Heavenly Sword Sect, the people from the Qing Sect did not appear.

Those who came were all geniuses of the major sects, even if they didn't cultivate enough to refine the virtual realm, they were also strong people in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Cave Xuan, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were a gathering of heroes.

A hundred years ago, after consultation, the eight major sects of the Qianlong Continent decided to hold a competition between sects and sects once a year, and the competition venue rotated between the eight major sects, and each sect could only send four disciples to participate in the competition.

So far, more than 100 such competitions have been held.

Of course, there is no such thing as the eight major sects, and one of the sects has split internally, and the good one sect has split into several small sects, so it has lost the qualification to participate in the competition.

Two years ago, the Shangqing Sect announced the closure of the mountain.

Since the mountain has been closed, it is impossible to participate in this kind of competition, so only six sects have participated in the past two years.

Of course, there are more than these seven sects in the Qianlong Continent, and other forces such as the Qiyun Sect, the Nine Star Sect, and the Tiandan Sect are also very powerful, but the strength of the Qiyun Sect depends on refining weapons, the strength of the Nine Star Gate depends on the formation, and the strength of the Tiandan Gate depends on alchemy, which is not the same concept as the strength of these seven major sects.

Among the seven major sects, the strength of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect is recognized as the weakest, and they have not won the first place in the competition for several years in a row, and they have even been at the bottom two or three times.

This year's competition happened to be held in Tianjianmen, and there would be such a gathering of heroes.

Under the leadership of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Ning Qingluo and the others stepped on the bluestone slab and slowly walked upward.

Halfway through, a figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Senior Brother Chen. The Heavenly Sword Sect disciple stopped and greeted the man.

The person known as Senior Brother Chen nodded, glanced at the people from the various sects, and walked towards Divine Sword Peak without saying a word.

"Chen Mingxiao?" Ning Qingluo frowned.

"It's changed so much that I almost don't recognize him. The Qinghong Sect disciple next to him said with emotion.

"The appearance hasn't changed much, but the deep-seated things seem to have changed a lot, and I feel more ...... than before" Ning Qingluo thought for a while before she said with certainty: "It's gloomy! That's right, it's gloomy!"

"Having said that, who of you can see his current cultivation? How do I feel that his current cultivation is more than just the early stage of cultivation?" said the Qinghong Sect disciple on the side with a suspicious face.

Hearing this, the Qinghong Sect disciples present were stunned for a moment, along with Ning Qingluo.

If they hadn't brought it up suddenly, they wouldn't have thought about it.

I can't even see Chen Mingxiao's general cultivation, is Chen Mingxiao deliberately hiding, or is Chen Mingxiao's cultivation so high that they can't see through it at all?

Behind, a man in white ran forward, pointed in one of the directions, and said to the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple who led the way, "Can you tell me what kind of place it is?"

"Wash Sword Peak. "The Sword Sect disciple didn't hide it that day.

Chen Mingxiao came down from the Washing Sword Peak just now, and then turned to the Divine Sword Peak.

"Washing Sword Peak?" The man frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, your Washing Sword Peak line should have been cut off a long time ago, right, how could Chen Mingxiao come down from Washing Sword Peak? Could it be that he broke the door rules and was punished?"

"It can't be said that I have violated the door rules......" The disciples of the Sword Sect didn't know how to answer that day.

"If it's inconvenient to answer, forget it, I'll just ask casually, don't take it to heart. The man in white smiled, not reluctantly, slowed down, and returned to the group.

"Senior Brother Qiu, you are still as interested in Chen Mingxiao's affairs as ever. The female disciple on the side laughed and teased.

The man in white is Qiu Yue of the Five Elements Gate, he shook his head, and replied lightly: "Anyway, I have been an opponent for several years, and I have also experienced it together, of course I am interested in his affairs, speaking of which, half of my understanding of the Heavenly Sword Gate still comes from Chen Mingxiao." ”

"Five years ago, he was your opponent, and in the past two years, his strength has been far inferior to yours. The female disciple of the Five Elements Sect corrected.

"Last year he was really not as good as me, but not necessarily this year, I can feel that his strength has improved a lot, maybe I'm not an opponent. Qiu Yue sighed, "If Zhen Xiaoning's strength also improves so quickly, it is estimated that our five major sects will be swept by the Heavenly Sword Sect." ”

"It's impossible, unless they take some elixir that forcibly improves their cultivation, how can their cultivation speed catch up with Senior Brother Qiu?" the female disciple looked incredulous.

"Hopefully it's my sense that something is wrong. Qiu Yue raised his head and looked in the direction where Chen Mingxiao had disappeared.

After a while, he smiled again and said from the bottom of his heart: "I'm looking forward to this competition more and more, and I don't know what kind of strength everyone's strength has reached." ”
