In the sky, dark clouds obscured all light, making the earth gloomy.

This kind of bad weather has been shrouded in a radius of hundreds of miles from the Water Sword Sect for half a month, but it is still continuing.

According to people who are good at observing celestial phenomena, this is the longest rainy day in the history of the Lishui Sword Sect since the establishment of the Sword Sect. Such dim weather will last for at least a month before the dark clouds can be cleared and the sky can be cleared.

The gloomy weather made people's emotions extremely irritable, especially when they felt that the time was getting closer and closer to the day of the challenge that Li Yuanhang and Chen Ke had agreed to at the beginning, and their hearts were as heavy as pressing a boulder.

In the past month, from the elders to the disciples of the Water Sword Sect, they have all been cultivating hard. Except for the routine three meals a day, and the cafeteria is still a little popular, all the disciples are usually in a hurry, and no one is hanging out anymore.

The change of many disciples of the Lishui Sword Sect made Hai Wuya feel very gratified, and at the same time, he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

Unlike many disciples who want to defeat their opponents, Hai Wuya also has to think about how to minimize losses.

In the middle of the night, the darkness that enveloped everything engulfed the whole world unscrupulously.

In a separate room in the Hall of Elders of the Lishui Sword Sect, a bright candlelight, like a beacon in the night, instantly brightened.

Hai Wuyan bowed his head to the table, carefully reading the latest information sent by the intelligence department.

When he saw that the latest news from the intelligence department clearly stated that in recent days, Gucci had once again contacted more than a dozen of the more powerful sects of the second-rate sects to form a crusade alliance, his eyes couldn't help but flash a cold light.

Several second-rate sects unite to engulf one of the four major sects, this kind of thing may be possible, but even if they really do that, I am afraid they will have to pay an extremely heavy price.

Looking at the date, he found that it was less than half a month before the date of the duel between the two major sects, and there was a trace of worry in Hai Wuya's eyebrows.

These days, he would take the time to go to the Lishui Sword Shrine every day to have a look, but so far, he still hasn't gotten any news.

"I don't know how far Ye Feng's cultivation has improved? If he doesn't show up that day, won't his reputation drop to the lowest point in the future?" Hai Wuya's brows furrowed slightly, at this moment, in addition to worrying about the safety of the sect, he was still worried about Ye Feng's future development.

In his mind, Ye Feng's future would be extremely bright, and even the slightest flaw would appear, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

Outside the door, a slight sound of footsteps came into Hai Wuya's ears.

Hearing that this was Chen Ling's footsteps, Li Yuanhang's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he returned to his usual calm appearance again.

"Elder Chen, I'm here late at night, but what's the matter?" Hai Wuya said with a smile to Chen Ling who entered.

Facing the calm appearance of the sea boundless, Chen Ling secretly admired it in his heart.

If he was in a high position where the sea was boundless, he would never be so calm before the storm came.

"It's nothing, it's just that I recently discovered that the kid from the Dugu family is also a good material for sword practice, and I think if it's possible, I want to accept him as a closed disciple. Chen Ling said.

"Dugu family, do you mean that when we picked up Ye Feng's family from Xianhe Town, we came with the Dugu family?"

Chen Ling smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, it's the Dugu Xiaotian of the Dugu family." That kid hadn't cultivated too elaborate internal skills, and he even had the strength of a swordsman. Recently, I found through observation that although Dugu Xiaotian's talent is not as good as Ye Feng and He Huan, he is no worse than the two of them in terms of diligence. If the sect master has no objections, I have decided to take Dugu Xiaotian as a disciple in a while. ”

It was already early in the morning, and Chen Ling's decision made Hai Wuya feel the sense of urgency in his heart on the eve of the war.

Hai Wuya did not object to Chen Ling's opinion, but nodded.

He said in a low voice: "Elder Chen, the matter of accepting apprentices is not bad for a while, I think you should still let the kid of the Dugu family sleep well tonight." ”

Hai Wuya's cold humor made Chen Ling scratch his hair in embarrassment, and when he found that he was indeed in a hurry, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Chen Ling turned around and was about to leave Hai Wuya's room, however, just as he turned around and walked to the door, Hai Wuya suddenly asked, "Elder Chen, what's the news lately?"

Ever since Ye Feng entered the Lishui Sword Shrine, He Huan had left a letter, saying that he was going out to find an opportunity to break through, and he said goodbye.

These days, in addition to thinking about Ye Feng, Hai Wuya has always paid attention to He Huan, but so far, He Huan seems to have evaporated from the world, and there is no news.

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "No, I have recently sent additional disciples to find He Huan's whereabouts, but so far, there is still no news. Sect Master, do you think He Huan will meet Gu Lin and the others and be killed?"

Hai Wuya exhaled deeply, and a trace of worry appeared between his eyebrows.

So far, he can only think about things in a good direction, and he really doesn't want to be sure of what Chen Ling said.

"Elder Chen, don't worry, He Huan is a person who has died once, and it is not easy for anyone to take his life. As he spoke, Hai Wuya waved his hand and motioned for Chen Ling to leave.

Outside the door of the room, Chen Ling's expression also became melancholy. He knew that what Hai Wuya said was actually just words of comfort. Unless He Huan had already left Yin Shang Kingdom, the disciples of the Lishui Sword Sect would never be unable to find out any news related to him.

In the blink of an eye, time passed quickly, and it was the third day before the war.

In the past three days, sword cultivators have continued to gather at the foot of the mountain of the Water Sword Sect, and by the time the battle was three days before the battle, the town under the mountain had been filled with foreign sword cultivators.

Among these sword cultivators, the people who had a glimpse of Chen Ke's demeanor, the ninth master of the Tianxing List, accounted for the majority. However, there are still people who openly reveal that this trip to the Lishui Sword Sect is to help the Gulin Sword Sect.

The spies placed in the town by the Lishui Sword Sect made a cursory investigation, and there were as many as a thousand people who came to help the sword cultivation of the Gulin Sword Sect. Although the strongest of these people was only an eighth-level sword master, the appearance of such a powerful force still made the entire Lishui Sword Sect tremble.

The enemy is becoming more and more ferocious, and the thoughts of the people who are from the Water Sword Sect to the same enemy are getting stronger and stronger.

After hearing the news, the many disciples on the mountain were all filled with righteous indignation, geared up, and prepared to attack the intruder.

On the second day before the war, thousands of disciples of the Gulin Sword Sect, under the leadership of Gucci and Chen Keyi, also came to the town at the foot of the Lishui Sword Sect.

The arrival of Gucci, Chen Keyi and many disciples of the Gulin Sword Sect immediately made the town boil, and at this time, many sword cultivators who had not expressed their position before and came to help the fist also showed their fangs.

In the town's central square, Gucci raised its arms and chanted, and nearly 3,000 people immediately echoed it. And at this time, the spies of the Lishui Sword Sect lurking in the town realized that in fact, half of the sword cultivators who came to the town were here to oppose the Lishui Sword Sect.

On the hill down the town square, Gucci gave an impassioned speech. This kind of speech is nothing more than a series of monopoly and hegemony things made by the Lishui Sword Sect after it occupied the position of the four major sects of the Yin Shang Kingdom.

These acts, which could not have been counted as crimes, were all called crimes by Gucci. Later, he shouted loudly, Feng Shui alternates, and it is time for the Lishui Sword Sect to step up and down from the position of the four major sects.

In addition to inciting the emotions of many sword cultivators, Gucci also patted his chest in front of thousands of sword cultivators and promised that once the Gulin Sword Sect became one of the four major sects, the mountain gate would definitely be opened and visitors from all directions would be welcomed, and at that time, except for the finale sword technique that the Gulin Sword Sect regarded as the treasure of the town faction - the Wind Forest Volcano Sword Technique would not be borrowed, all the remaining sword techniques would be used by the sword cultivators for free.

Gucci's promise is tantamount to a godsend for those small sects or idle sword cultivators.

You must know that a line-level mid-level exercise on the market is as high as hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, and such a wealth is something that many small sects and free sword cultivators cannot take out.

More and more people joined in the denunciation of the Lishui Sword Sect, and on the night before the Great War, Gucci had gathered nearly 5,000 sword cultivators.

Looking at the sword cultivators everywhere inside and outside the town, Gucci's eyes flashed with a cold glint.

He has coveted the position of the master of the four major sects for a long time, and he originally thought that he would not be able to realize this dream in his life, but he did not expect that his beloved disciple would create such an opportunity for him out of thin air.

Tomorrow will be the day of the decisive battle between Chen Keyi and Ye Feng, and Gucci has already decided that after Chen Keyi kills Ye Feng, he will immediately issue the name of attacking the Lishui Sword Sect.

If the Lishui Sword Sect shielded the disciples of the sect and prevented Ye Feng from appearing, then he would directly issue an order and directly start a war with the Lishui Sword Sect.

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, all the sword cultivators in the town woke up from their slumber.

After some integration, all the sword cultivators were packed up and ready to go.

Since the Water Leaving Sword Sect was not an area where anyone could enter without permission, most of the people were intercepted by the outer courtyard disciples placed on the mountainside by the Water Leaving Sword Sect.

Even so, Gucci still took Chen Keyi, Ziling, and nearly 500 disciples into the inner courtyard of the Lishui Sword Sect, and named them by name, asking Hai Wuya to greet them in person.

When Gucci led many elite disciples of the Gulin Sword Sect into the Lishui Sword Sect, Hai Wuya, Chen Ling, and a group of elders all gathered in front of the Lishui Sword Shrine.

Seeing that there was still no movement in the sword mound, Hai Wuya couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Chen Ling took a step forward, came to Hai Wuya, and said in a low voice, "Sect Master, why don't we forcibly open the Lishui Sword Shrine?"

Chen Ling's words made Hai Wuya's expression suddenly cold.

He glanced back at those who agreed with Chen Ling's words, and said in an unquestioning tone: "Everyone, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add. Could it be that until now, do you still think that after Ye Feng appears, Gucci will not wage war against the Water Leaving Sword Sect?"
