Chapter 8: The Storm

The appearance of the Divine Sword in the Heavenly Sword Sect was about to start. As expected, in the next few days, the major forces near and far sent disciples to visit the Cangtian Sword Sect, and even the sect elder sect master came in person. It can be seen how high the word Excalibur has in the minds of everyone.

However, the strength and status of the Cangtian Sword Sect were there, and when the major forces reached the Giant Blade Peak, they only politely inquired about the news of the Divine Sword.

That loud sword roar came out, and almost the powerhouses in the entire Jiaozhou territory heard it clearly, and it was obviously impossible to shirk it.

Most of the many masters who rushed over only cared about one question, that is, whose hands did the divine sword go to.

Sui Shanhe had already discussed countermeasures with the hall masters, and he didn't say a word about it. In the end, there was only one thing that many forces could be sure of, that is, the Divine Sword was indeed in the hands of the Heavenly Sword Sect. As for who was so lucky and won the favor of Excalibur, no one knows.

The Excalibur turmoil gradually passed, but another thing was lifted to the table. The big force in Xuanzhou of the Great Cang Empire, Qin Tairan, the lord of Qin'an Mansion, was assassinated silently, and his head was also cut off.

The power of Qin'an Mansion is a little stronger than that of the Divine Sword Sect. The lord of the mansion, Qin Tairan, is proficient in swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship has already reached the realm of a great master who is rare in the world. It is really unbelievable that such a master with a sword was quietly assassinated.

All of a sudden, many leaders of forces who got the news strengthened their precautions and began to be vigilant. Qin Tairan's death method is strikingly similar to Bai Youchuan, the master of the Divine Sword Sect who died many days ago.

What kind of person is it, so bold, that dares to assassinate alone? Everyone speculated in their hearts. But the mystery of the murderer's haunt seems to have left no trace.

Shendao Manor, Jianghua Courtyard. Above the attic, Quan Manying stood in the position of Bai Youchuan in the past, looking at the rolling Cangmei River. Beside him, a strong man stood out, it was Feng Youzhang of the Divine Sword Gate.

"Senior brother, the master is dead, and he will not be blind to death. We will avenge our master. The strong man's eyes were sad and calm.

Quan Manying stood aside, he was not tall, and he had to raise his head to see the strong man's face. "Senior brother, take revenge... Revenge, of course. It's just that now that the master is gone, my divine sword door is declining, and revenge is not easy. Besides, the elders and disciples of the sect have been fighting for many years, and now they just want to settle down. Quan Manying squinted at the river and said quietly.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" Feng Youzhang's voice became louder, with a little anger in his doubts, "Don't you want to avenge your master?"

"Senior brother, when did I say that I didn't want to avenge my master. Calm down, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Quan Manying looked at Feng Youzhang, "Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize the Divine Sword Gate, so as not to destroy the foundation established by the master." You don't want that either, do you?"

Feng Youzhang nodded and said, "Of course I can't let them destroy my Divine Sword Gate." It's just, senior brother, what are you going to do?" Feng Youzhang's big head was obviously not good at thinking.

"Well, I have already made up my mind about this matter, and my junior brother will watch it. When the time comes, I need my junior brother to help me. Kwon Manying's face was confident, and his eyes were shining.

Feng Youzhang nodded and said, "I will naturally help Senior Brother." He remembered that he had just worshipped Bai Youchuan as a teacher, and Quan Manying had taken care of himself like a big brother until now.

He believed in his brother.

In Xuanzhou, Qin'an Mansion is particularly powerful. Qin Tairan has made a lot of friends, and now that he is dead, there are waves of people who come to worship, just like the Divine Sword Conference a few days ago.

Meizhou is the closest to Xuanzhou, and it is a team of Yanlin Sect that also arrived quickly. Old man Yan took the lead, and several people worshiped Qin Tairan separately, and they were greeted by the people of Qin'an Mansion to a side hall. At this time, the hall was already full of people, and when Old Man Yan and a few people came in, everyone got up to greet them.

As soon as he sat down, someone said: "The predecessors of Qin have taken care of the people for many years, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, but they don't want to be so meritorious, but they end up in a different place." โ€

Everyone frowned when they heard this, and Old Man Yan turned around to look, only to see that this person had a beard and a well-dressed figure, but he didn't recognize it, so he immediately asked, "I don't know what this fellow Taoist is called?"

The man arched his hand and said, "It's heavy in Xiading." At that time, I was chased and killed by the enemy, seriously injured, and exiled to Xuanzhou. It was Senior Qin who helped me heal my injuries that allowed me to live to this day. Everyone immediately nodded, and the respect for Qin Tairan in their hearts was a little heavier.

Ding Chong said again: "Senior Qin has a life-saving grace for me. He has profound skills, but he doesn't want to be attacked and plotted by gangsters. Although I am not talented, I also want to do my part to avenge my predecessors. His tone was sincere, and many people nodded when they heard it, and they all said: "What you say is reasonable, and if you are gracious, you should naturally repay it." โ€

Old man Yan asked, "You came early, I don't know what traces the murderer can leave behind?" Everyone shook their heads, obviously they hadn't found any clues yet.

Old man Yan looked at everyone's expressions, and he frowned silently. For a while, the hall was a little dull.

Out of the inner hall came a young man, dressed in black and with a white cloth wrapped around his head. The young man walked to the center of the hall and arched his hand and said, "In Xia Qin Jiaxing, I have seen all the seniors. Everyone returned the salute and waited for the following.

The young man said: "The seniors have worked tirelessly to come to pay respects to their father, and the juniors have thanked me here. After saying that, he yawned slightly, and bowed.

Everyone said: "The lord of the Qin Mansion is highly respected, and he had a friendship with us and others during his lifetime. It is also appropriate to come and worship. โ€

The young man snorted, choked up in his tone, and said, "Thank you seniors." โ€

The young man looked at everyone, his eyes stayed on Old Man Yan, and said, "Just now I heard Senior Yan ask about the murderer's whereabouts, and I'm ashamed, my people in Qin'an Mansion didn't find any traces. The murderer... It seems that his skills are extraordinarily profound, or he is extremely good at stealth killers. โ€œ

When Old Man Yan heard this, he pondered: "Brother Tairan's skill is so deep that he has already reached the peak of the Great Grandmaster. If the skill is higher than that of the great grandmaster, it can only be a martial arts saint. โ€

When everyone heard the words "Martial Dao Sage", they all took a deep breath. Martial Dao Sage, that is the realm that every martial cultivator dreams of.

Old man Yan thought for a while, and then wondered: "How rare are the saints in the world, I have only seen one in my life, and that is the Meishan Sage." However, the Sage will not take it lightly. "Old man Yan is an elder of the Yanlin Sect, the Yanlin Sect is located in Meizhou, and he is a sage who has seen Meishan.

"What Senior Yan said makes sense, and I don't believe that there will be a sage who will take action against my father. But how can there be such a powerful killer in the world?" Qin Jiaxing said with a frown.

"Well, that's good. I've never heard of such a powerful killer. A middle-aged man in brocade said.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are such killers, and it is rumored that there is more than one. Old man Yan seemed to know a lot as he spoke.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Old Man Yan stroked his gray beard and said, "It is rumored that there is an extremely powerful killer organization on the mainland, and it is even rumored that there are saint-level killers in this organization. โ€

One word shocked the audience.

Old man Yan coughed, changed the topic and said, "The death of Brother Tairan's virtuous brother is exactly the same as Bai Youchuan of the Divine Sword Sect a few days ago, it must have been done by the same killer. A few days ago, in the underground palace of the Jiaozhou Blood Demon Sect, the red-robed man who had already died was also cut off. At that time, many of our colleagues gathered in the dungeon, and we still didn't find the slightest suspicion. โ€

Old Man Yan pondered for a moment before he said, "As far as I can see, Brother Tairan, the master of the white gate, and the man in the red robe all died at the hands of the same person. This murderer is the killer in the mysterious killer organization. Whether or not he is a saint or not is uncertain, but in my opinion, this is extremely unlikely. โ€

Everyone heard what Old Man Yan said, and they were silent for a while. Perhaps the pressure brought by the sage was too great, and there was a dull atmosphere in the hall.

"Haha! I've never seen the world. A loud laugh came from outside the hall.

Everyone was shocked and held their weapons in their hands. Old man Yan took the lead, went out of the palace gate, and arrived in the courtyard. I saw a young man in white, lying high on the roof. He crossed his legs, and did not look at the crowd, but looked at the sky.

"Isn't this young man in white at the Divine Sword Conference?" one recognized the young man in white and whispered.

Old man Yan frowned, where did he remember the young man in white. Shicai was scolded by the young man again, and his face was a little abrasive, so he didn't ask.

I only heard the young man say to himself: "The saint-level killer assassinated Qin Tairan? โ€

When everyone below heard the young man's words so presumptuous, they couldn't help but be a little angry, and they started scolding. Unexpectedly, the young man still crossed his legs, his eyes turned to the sky, and he turned a deaf ear to everyone's scolding.

"Hmph, where did you come from, arrogant boy?" A loud shout came, and I saw a person jumping up, looking at his clothes, but it was a master of Qin'an Mansion dressed in black.

He saw that the young man in white was so arrogant, although he didn't know the details of the other party, but he didn't expect it to be any stronger, so he made a move to find out.

After all, this is Qin'an Mansion, and outsiders are not allowed to be presumptuous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed on the roof, before he could stand firmly, the young man straightened up his scabbard and struck at a very fast speed, hitting the man in the chest. With a bang, the man suddenly flew upside down and fell from the roof.

"Fifth Senior Brother!" Qin Jiaxing's tone was a little surprised, and he grabbed the man. The man's skill is a step lower than that of the old man Yan who was present, but he is also a famous player in Xuanzhou. Everyone saw that the young man was so young, and his strength was so powerful, and they suddenly became a little vigilant in their hearts.

"Let's go up!" shouted from the crowd, and suddenly three or five more people swept up and came straight to the roof. The young man repeated his old tricks, and while the opponent's foothold was not stable, he struck with the scabbard again. This seemingly simple blow was actually extremely fast, and the direction of the shot was also extremely tricky.

First, the man saw the young man attacking, and he was too fast to resist the weapon. Immediately, he hurriedly stretched out his right hand, shook his hand into a claw, and grabbed it towards the hilt of the sword. Just this grasp can already see that this person's skills are extremely good.

Seeing that the other party had mastered it, the young man turned his aim, drew an arc with the scabbard of his sword, and struck at the other man with the force of his hand. This man did not have the strength of the previous man, and was struck in the shoulder by the scabbard and fell to the roof.

The young man's figure fluttered, and the scabbard of the sword took turns to attack, and the cries of pain continued to be heard.

In the blink of an eye, several people on the roof fell one after another, leaving only the man who practiced claws. The two fought for a while, but the young man never drew his sword, and only used the scabbard as a weapon, but he also fought on par with the man.

The young man glanced at a number of people rushing up, and thought to himself, "If it is surrounded, it will not be good..."

Although he is confident, he refuses to suffer. At that moment, he laughed loudly, swept up, stepped on a person's shoulder, and flew out far away with the help of a vertical. Immediately, several ups and downs disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It's so fast, it's really rare.

The masters in Qin'an's Mansion chased for a while, but they didn't even see half of the figures, so they stopped chasing at the moment.

Old man Yan frowned and looked at the direction where the young man disappeared, and pondered in his heart: "I don't know which disciple was taught by his predecessors, he is so young, and his skills are so strong. However, although his skills are strong, it is impossible to kill calmly. โ€œ

The young man flew away from his pursuers and arrived in a mountain forest. I saw a clear stream, and there was a faint rumbling sound in the distance.

Curious, he hurried over.

In a moment, a waterfall appeared in front of me, as white as a juanpi. The surrounding birds and insects chirp, and there is a peaceful atmosphere. When the young man saw this, he immediately felt refreshed. Immediately flew on a boulder, lying on it, with his legs cocked, humming a small tune in his mouth, so comfortable.

"Ha, this Xuanzhou realm is really also a master. But if you want to keep my road to a thousand enemies, there are still 108,000 miles away. The young man hummed a song for a while, and muttered to himself for a while: "The killer organization has another master, why don't I know?"

Even with a frown, his face was extremely handsome.

"Forget it, don't worry about him, let's get some sleep first. The boy yawned, and fell asleep on the boulder, ignoring nothing elseโ€”

Divide - cut - line -

In the phoenix bamboo forest, Yun Tian practiced swordsmanship in the forest. Many of the forces that had visited the Heavenly Sword Sect had already returned, and the Heavenly Sword Sect seemed quiet again. In fact, except for the morning when the disciples gathered in the square to practice swordsmanship, at other times, it seemed very quiet among the sword sects.

Qingluo Sword was also quiet at the moment, except for the turquoise sword body, there was no other miracle.

"Tian'er!" A woman came out of the forest, it was Le Xinzhu.

"Master!" Yun Tian stopped dancing his sword and walked to Le Xinzhu's side.

"Tian'er..."Le Xinzhu had a faint smile on his face, and said, "Go to the Cangtian Palace, your old master is waiting!"

"Uncle Sui?" Yun Tian looked at his master, his expression a little puzzled.

"Hehe, you'll know when you go. Le Xinzhu still had a smile on her face. Yun Tian didn't say anything when he saw the master, so he didn't ask much at the moment. said goodbye to the master, went straight up the mountain, and arrived in front of the Cangtian Palace.

I saw that the door of the palace was wide open, and Wu Xun was standing in the hall.

Yun Tian moved into the main hall, bowed down, and said, "Disciple Yun Tian, meet the master in charge." Sui Shanhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yun Tian, don't be polite." โ€

"Senior Sister Yun Tian, it's been a few days. Wu Xun looked at the beauty in front of him, who he had already admired, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, how are you doing lately?"

His voice was magnetic and nice. Yun Tian looked at him, nodded lightly, and said, "I'm fine, I'm worried about Senior Brother Wu." โ€

Sui Shanhe looked at the two of them, his eyes inadvertently turned to the long sword in Yun Tian's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, Tian'er, Xun'er, both of you are outstanding disciples of my Cangtian Sword Sect, and the two of you are summoned here this time for one thing." โ€

Sui Shanhe paused, and then said: "Troubled times may be coming, a few days ago, Bai Youchuan of the Divine Sword Gate and Qin Tairan of Qin'an Mansion were assassinated one after another, according to the news from the inquiry, the murderer is very likely to be a member of the top force in the mainland, the Dark Dragon Killer Organization." This person has a lot of blood debts in his hands, and his whereabouts are extremely secretive, and it is difficult to find out more information. This time, the two of you were sent down the mountain, one is to secretly inquire about the news. Second, if there is an opportunity, we will work together to kill him and promote my righteous path. โ€

When the two of them heard that they were going to deal with this mysterious killer, they both gasped a little in their hearts.

Wu Xun frowned and said, "Master, this person can assassinate masters like Bai Youchuan and Qin Tairan, and his skills must be extremely profound. As far as Senior Sister Yun Tian and I are concerned, I'm afraid we are not opponents at all. โ€

"Hehe, you're right. According to my inference, this person's strength is probably not far from the Holy Rank. Sui Shanhe said lightly: "However, cultivation should be indomitable, and there is no room for retreat." You two go back and get ready, and tomorrow morning, go down the mountain." โ€

"Yes!" The two of them heard Sui Shanhe's tone that could not be refused, so they had to respond respectfully, turned around and retreated outside the hall.

Yun Tian didn't want to stay longer, so he left directly. Wu Xun walked to the door, and the steps he took out were retracted.

"Master!" Wu Xun shouted.

Sui Shanhe looked up at him, frowned, and said, "Xun'er, do you have anything else?"

Wu Xun looked left and right, walked to the hall, and said in a low voice: "Master, that mysterious killer's skill is so strong, Senior Sister Yun Tian has the divine sword in her hand, and it is no obstacle to protect herself." But..."

"Slurred... But what is it?" Sui Shanhe looked at Wu Xun in the hall, and said in a cold voice deliberately, with no look on his face.

"But the disciple's skill is low, and he has no self-defense treasures, so he will not be able to come back when he goes down the mountain this time. As he spoke, a sad look appeared on his face.

"Hmph, at this time, I realized that my skills were low? Let you hurry up and practice, but you only care about playing with the senior sisters and sisters in the same sect, and you fall behind in your cultivation. Sui Shanhe's tone suddenly became more aggressive.

"The master taught me a lesson. Wu Xun said respectfully, but he was thinking in his heart: "I am not yet eighteen years old, and the Jade Heart Jue has also been cultivated to the third layer, and my strength has reached the Great Grandmaster. Many of the senior brothers in the sect are at my age, so I'm afraid it's just that. Hmph, maybe not even me!"

Sui Shanhe looked at Wu Xun, who was stunned, shook his head slightly and sighed.

Wu Xun came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Master, the disciple must work hard to cultivate in the future, and never let your old man lose face, master." โ€

"Hmm. Sui Shanhe nodded when he heard this, and his face softened.

Seeing that Sui Shanhe's expression softened, Wu Xuncai said again: "It's just that the mysterious killer is too strong." โ€

Wu Xun lowered his head and secretly looked at the mountains and rivers.

"Hmph, what you want to say, just say it!" Sui Shanhe didn't bother to look at him.

"Hehe, master, you must have guessed the mind of the apprentice, right?" Wu Xun took a few steps and stood beside Sui Shanhe.

"Hmph, I'm telling you, there's nothing good about that thing. On the way to practice, there is no room for laziness and slippery. Shifang Dan, don't even think about it. Sui Shanhe looked at Wu Xun and said angrily.

"That's what the master said. Wu Xun's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to think.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yun Tian carried a burden and went to the square in front of the peak. Thousands of disciples gathered here to practice swords, and the momentum was quite huge. Yun Tian stood and watched for a while, then turned his head and walked down the mountain.

"Senior Sister Zhou....Senior Sister Zhou....", the same door greeted one after another.

No matter where Yun Tian goes, he will be the focus of attention. Because she is so beautiful, often beautiful things will attract attention, let alone a beautiful woman?

Wu Xun stood on the side of the square, and in front of him was the 8,000 stone steps down the mountain. The stone steps, glowing with the color of white jade, extend from the square to the bottom of the mountain. Yun Tian looked at Wu Xun in front of him, and always felt that it was a little different from before, but he couldn't say it.

"Senior sister, you're here, let's go!" Wu Xun's tone revealed a stronger confidence. Yun Tian looked at him, nodded slightly, and the two went down the mountain together.

Wu Xun didn't know what method to use, and finally grinded the Shifang Dan from Sui Shanhe's hands, which shows Sui Shanhe's love for Wu Xun.
