Chapter 7 United
When Shang Bei was in the royal family of Yin Shang Kingdom, he practiced orthodox royal swordsmanship.
But just after he traveled and formed his own force, he suddenly practiced demonic swordsmanship, which could absorb the souls of the dead.
Shang Bei practiced Demon Spirit Sword Technique and created the Demon Spirit Sword Sect, and all his actions were extremely secretive, and no one found out.
In the third year of his cultivation of the Demon Spirit Sword Technique, he returned to the imperial capital of the Yin Shang Kingdom and met his ancestor.
Returning again, Shang Bei did not talk about inheriting the title of the Protector of the Sage, but bluntly asked to enter the treasure secret room of the royal family of Yin Shang Kingdom.
As the most outstanding disciple of Yin Shangguo, Shang Bei's request was not excessive. However, the old ancestor, who was already in his last years and did not have much to live on, was suspicious of Shang Bei's performance.
That old ancestor had practiced the royal swordsmanship for more than seventy years, and he was extremely familiar with this aura.
It was after Shang Bei returned again that the ancestor found that the breath on Shang Bei's body no longer seemed to be the orthodox royal swordsmanship.
The old ancestor did not expose Shang Bei, but sent Shang Bei into the treasure secret room, and then secretly monitored his behavior closely.
It was only after Shang Bei entered the treasure secret room that the ancestor finally discovered that Shang Bei came back this time with ulterior motives, in order to take away a heirloom belonging to the royal family of Yin Shangguo.
That treasure is a treasure handed down by the founding king of the Yin Shang Kingdom. Before that treasure was handed down, the founding king had repeatedly said that this treasure must not be revealed in front of people, otherwise it would definitely bring disaster to the Yin Shang Kingdom.
The old ancestor didn't know how Shang Bei knew the news of the treasure, and seeing that Shang Bei was going to steal the treasure, the old ancestor immediately stopped it, but unexpectedly, Shang Bei, who cultivated the Demon Spirit Sword Technique, was ferocious, and directly injured the old ancestor seriously, and then fled in a panic.
After the old ancestor was seriously injured, Shang Li returned to the imperial capital.
It was at that time that he inherited the mantle of his ancestors and became the protector of the royal family of Yin Shang.
After becoming the Protector of the Yin Shang Kingdom, Shang Li knew that each generation of the Protector of the Nation was not only guarding the royal family of the Yin Shang Kingdom, but also guarding the vital treasure.
Thinking that even a great figure like the founding king of the Yin Shang Kingdom had said that this treasure could not be shown to the public, Shang Li was even more suspicious of Shang Bei's motives.
After burying the ancestor who was seriously injured and died of depression, Shang Li devoted all his energy to finding Shang Bei's whereabouts.
However, even though he mobilized all his forces to search for Shang Bei throughout the country, he never received any news related to Shang Bei.
In the process of searching for Shang Bei, Shang Li accidentally discovered the Demon Spirit Sword Sect.
It was from that time that the Demon Spirit Sword Sect gradually surfaced, attracting the attention of the four major sects, as well as the royal family of Yin Shang Kingdom.
A sect that has no conscience or sense of justice, and only knows how to kill people and plunder souls, is naturally intolerable.
In the tenth year of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect's misdeeds, Shang Li finally made up his mind to completely eradicate the Demon Spirit Sword Sect.
In order to uproot the increasingly powerful Demon Spirit Sword Sect, Shang Li issued a killing order, however, what Shang Li couldn't have imagined was that after he united the four major sects and attacked the Demon Spirit Sword Sect's station, he saw Shang Bei, who had disappeared for more than ten years.
At that time, Shang Bei was already a ninth-level peak sword king, and he could also rank among the top three masters in Yin Shang Kingdom. With his strength, he could have easily faced many people, but he met Shang Li instead.
Shang Li inherited not only the position of the Protector of the Sage, but also the vitality of the ancestor who had been cultivating for seventy years. With Shang Bei's strength, Shang Li could only be restrained when encountered, but the Demon Spirit Sword Technique was really weird, even if Shang Li's strength surpassed Shang Bei a lot, it still allowed Shang Bei to escape in the end.
When Shang Bei fled, he said that he would come back in the future.
And at that time, he not only wanted to kill Shang Li, but also took away the heirloom treasure.
Shang Li told the story between Shang Li and Shang Bei, which lasted for half an hour.
When everyone heard what Shang Li said, a look of shock appeared on their faces at the same time.
Thirty years ago, Shang Bei had the strength of a ninth-level sword king, so how strong would his strength be now? And what made Hai Wuya and the others feel even more incredible was that thirty years ago Shang Li defeated Shang Bei, who had the strength of a ninth-level sword king, didn't that mean that Shang Li had the strength of a ninth-level peak sword king thirty years ago.
"Senior Shang, what is that heirloom treasure?" After Shang Li finished speaking, Hai Wuya asked.
Originally, it was not appropriate for him to ask about the heirloom.
But the destruction of the four major sects at the moment has a lot to do with Shang Bei's desire to get the heirloom treasure, and he wants to know what the heirloom treasure is, which is not abrupt.
Not only did Hai Wuya care about the heirloom treasure, but Qiuyang and Wu Hao were also extremely concerned about the news of the heirloom treasure.
Even Qiuyang and Wu Hao couldn't imagine what kind of treasure would turn their brothers against each other, and make Shang Bei rather betray the royal family than get his hands on it.
Seeing that everyone in the sea was full of eagerness, Shang Li sighed again.
He pondered for a moment before he spoke, "The treasure is called a mullion, and it looks like a window made of crystal. But while it looks like a window on the surface, it's anything but simple. I used to pour 100% of my vitality into the mullion, but it didn't even react at all. ”
"100% vitality?" and everyone in the sea was shocked.
Before they knew the grievances between Shang Li and Shang Bei, the people of Hai Wuya did not believe that Shang Li was a hidden Sword Emperor powerhouse.
But now, Hai Wuya and others have to face up to Shang Li's strength. A strong man who defeated a ninth-level peak sword king thirty years ago, how strong will he be thirty years later? I'm afraid it's not just a first-level or second-level sword emperor.
Thinking of Shang Li Pingsu game Hongchen, Hai Wuya and the others seemed to have a clear understanding. Shang Li's actions were related to his cultivation of sword intent on the one hand, but on the other hand, I am afraid it was to paralyze Shang Bei.
In the days of the game and the wandering green shirts, all of Shang Li's attention was focused on finding Shang Bei and the remnants of the Demon Spirit Sword Sect all the time, and he never dared to slack off.
Above the bell tower, the atmosphere became silent.
Finding that everyone in the sea was silent, Shang Li stood up.
Shang Li, who has always been bent on his waist and looks like a jumping monkey, has become extremely handsome.
He glanced at the people of the sea and said, "Everyone, I have made it clear what I need to say. Now you can choose to withdraw from this strife. ”
Shang Li's remarks made the four of them stunned.
They understood what Shang Li meant, this old man who didn't have any serious appearance didn't want to involve them in this matter.
However, things have developed to the present, how can they quit when they say quit?
Mo said that the destruction of the four major sword sect stations has made the four major sects and Shang Bei have formed an endless contradiction, even if the four major sects are not destroyed, just with the chivalrous name of the four major sects, they can't watch the people of Yin Shang Kingdom fall into a miserable life.
"We will not withdraw, let alone bow to the Demon Spirit Sword Sect. Senior Shang, if you have any orders, just say it, as long as we can do our part to defend the imperial capital, we will have no regrets even if we die. Hai Wuya said affectionately.
Hai Wuya's statement was supported by Qiu Yang, Wu Hao and Liu Yunfeng.
The other three nodded solemnly at the same time, expressing their willingness to survive with Yin Shangguo to the end.
Faced with such a resolute attitude of the four juniors, Shang Li was slightly excited.
In his mind, when he said Shang Bei's identity, Hai Wuya and the others would definitely leave angrily. But now he knows that he underestimated these juniors.
These juniors are all characters with enthusiasm and infinite pride.
They are not heroes, but their beliefs are stronger than heroes.
In their home country, when the people of Li and all living beings are in dire straits, they can stand up without hesitation, even if they sacrifice their relatives and their lives.
The deep emotion flowed in Shang Li's heart, and it also made him full of hope for the not optimistic prospects.
Together, there is something that these people can't do.
Even if Shang Bei had already captured all the sects of the Yin Shang Kingdom except for the imperial capital at this moment, could he really win?
Shang Li knew very well that as long as there were countless righteous people like Hai Wuya and Qiu Yang, who were not afraid of life and death to resist the Demon Spirit Sword Sect, no matter how strong the Demon Spirit Sword Sect was, it would not be able to win this battle.
Outside the city, thousands of sword cultivators who had surrendered to the Demon Spirit Sword Sect were endlessly attacking the protective light shroud that shrouded the perimeter of the imperial capital.
Under their almost frenzied attack, countless fine cracks finally appeared on the surface of the protective shield.
These rifts are becoming more and more numerous and denser.
In the end, the defensive light shield over the entire city shattered like a spider web, and it could dissipate at any time.
Sensing the light shield above his head, on the verge of shattering, Shang Li's eyes flashed with a cold light.
He stared at the people of the sea with blazing eyes, and said, "Everyone. Since you have decided not to withdraw, then we will meet the enemy together. There is still a large part of the protective light shield of the Imperial Capital City that has not been opened, I will open the protective light shield now, and your four major sects are responsible for guarding the four directions of the city, southeast, northwest, and north. ”
Shang Li paused, and his expression became extremely serious: "Remember, no matter who breaks through the defensive light shield, you must beat them back, and you must not let them enter the city and harm the people in the imperial capital." ”
In the face of Shang Li's advice, everyone in the sea nodded solemnly.
Does the Demon Spirit Sword Sect want to subvert the entire Yin Shang Kingdom and take away the mullioned window? If this is the case, then we must first ask the sword in the hands of the thousands of surviving disciples of the four major sects, and whether they will agree to do so.
