Li Xiaofei has been to Jie Peng.

The first time was when he and his friends had traveled to the country before being teleported by the Moonlight Treasure Box.

The second time was after killing the saints of the alien race in Haijing City, he faked his death and escaped, and infiltrated Jie Peng with Yuehua Blade, but finally slept with the queen and killed the emperor who piggybacked on the family.

And this time, it was the third time he came to Jiepeng.

Three different planes.

The same country.

gave Li Xiaofei exactly the same feeling.

In this era, Jiepeng is also a well-known developed country on the earth, representing advanced, system and quality, and the comprehensive development level has maintained a leading position in Daxia for many years.

But Li Xiaofei always felt that this country and this nation have always had a small family spirit.

This kind of small family spirit is not only reflected in the character of Jie Peng people, but also in the architectural style of Jie Peng.

The roads are narrow, the houses are narrow, the buildings are low, the elevators are narrow, and the size is short......

Even the tourist attractions are condensed.

What impressed Li Xiaofei the most was a scenic spot called 'White Snake Tomb', which is said to be a very famous landscape in Jie Peng's country, but after arriving, it was just a small tomb bag and a small stone pillar, and the stone pillar said 'White Snake Tomb', Li Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, and thought that Jie Peng's tour guide was joking, this thing is not even comparable to the terracotta warriors and horses of those cottages outside Xi'an.

Of course, this time Li Xiaofei is not here to travel.

The first stop he visited was the mountain gate, the headquarters of the Sword Sect of the Jie Peng State Sect.

The headquarters of the Sword Sect is in Baektu Mountain.

Baitou Mountain is a classic symbol of Jiepeng's spirit and culture, and has an unparalleled status in the hearts of Jiepeng people, and entrusts many Jiepeng people's spiritual beliefs

It is called the 'peak of Fuji'.

The name sounds very middle-second.

Being able to establish a mountain gate on Mount Paektu shows how lofty and deep-rooted its status as a state religion is in Jiepeng.

The headquarters of the Sword Sect, the mountain gate, is an ancient building imitating the Tang Dynasty, which has a history of 637 years, and is located on the shore of Jinghu Lake, one of the five freshwater lakes of Baektu Mountain.

Although it is the smallest of the five lakes, it has the most unique style, with many towering cliffs on the shores of the lake, and the terrain is complex. The lake is the deepest, and the surface of the lake does not freeze all year round, and it is dark blue, revealing an unfathomable mystery.

For a long time, the Sword Sect has indeed been an insurmountable peak in the Japanese martial arts world, and every head of the Sword Sect is the martial arts myth of Jie Peng.

Perhaps some civilians didn't know the horror of the Sword Sect, and just regarded it as an ordinary religion, a mascot in peacetime.

But the real authority knows what kind of background and strength this long-established sect has, which can have an impact on the domestic political situation.

There are even rumors on the grapevine that even the appointment and dismissal of Jie Peng's prime minister needs to be blessed and crowned by the head of the Sword Sect.

However, because of the fall of the head of the Sword Sect and the first sword saint Ghost Horse Katazo of Jie Peng at the martial arts exchange meeting that just ended, as well as the death of many other disciples, the strength of the Sword Sect experienced a cliff-like plunge in a short period of time.

For this reason, the Jie Peng government even temporarily closed Baektu Mountain and held a top-level state funeral for the ghost horse Katazo and other dead Sword Sect masters.

The hustle and bustle passed, and only a place was as plain as chicken feathers.

After a day of bustling, the shore of the quiet lake finally calmed down

Come.

In the cemetery of the sword mound, two old men with slender and short bodies stood tremblingly in front of the new grave, and the wrinkled faces of the ravines were full of hatred and embarrassment.

The years have left too many traces on their bodies, as if they are candles that are about to burn out, and their eyes are like the flickering residual star fire, as if they will be extinguished at any time.

But they are now the two people with the highest status in the entire Sword Sect.

Koshiro, the master of the Sword Sect of the previous generation, and his exclusive sword slave Keiko Kitagawa.

Xiao Shiro is not only the sect master of the previous generation, but also the master of the ghost horse Katazo, and the first sword saint who was once in the limelight.

As Xiao Shiro's exclusive sword slave, Kitagawa Keiko was known as the first beauty of the Sword Sect when she was young, and her otherworldly talent is not much inferior to Xiao Shiro, and it is also one of the few people who fully realize his talent and step into the top powerhouse in the kendo field that ordinary people can't understand.

It's just that because she was born in the civilian class, she can't become a descendant of the Sword Saint, and in the end she can only be a shadow in the shadows and become a sword slave who carries a sword for Xiao Shiro.

The glory of the past is always blown away by the rain and wind.

Now standing in front of the grave of the ghost horse Katazo, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Ghost Horse Katazo has supported the prestige of the Sword Sect for nearly a hundred years, and it can be regarded as having completed its historical mission, and his death is not a burden that the Sword Sect cannot bear.

But the big question now is how to choose the heir.

"Perhaps, we should abandon some of the old traditions." Keiko Kitagawa said slowly.

Her voice was hoarse and low, like two centuries-old pieces of rotten wood rubbing together, without any beauty, revealing a kind of decay that was about to enter the museum

Breath of decay.

The peerless beauty of his youth has long become a legend.

Koshiro was silent.

He knew what Keiko Kitagawa meant.

Among the many disciples of the Sword Sect, the aristocratic disciples such as Kawashima, Asuka, Fujisaijiro, and Maeda Dairan are the strongest and have the most prominent backgrounds, and they have always been the focus of training.

But Asuka and a few others were killed in the exchange meeting with Great Xia, and the remaining disciples of Maeda Dairan and others from noble and wealthy families are already the strongest group of disciples of the Sword Sect today.

But it is still too far away from becoming the first sword saint and supporting the prestige of the Sword Sect.

If you only start from the perspective of talent and strength, among today's new generation, there is only one girl named Masami Ishihara, who is eligible.

Masami Ishihara is a genius secretly cultivated by the Sword Sect, and has always been taught by Kitagawa Keiko himself, and has never shown his edge and strength, so few people know, even if it is Fujisaijiro and others, they only know that there is such a person, but they don't know how terrifying this girl's strength is.

Such a kendo genius, still so young and with unlimited potential, was originally the best candidate to succeed Onima Katazo.

But there is a fatal problem.

Masami Ishihara was born as a commoner.

Her parents were just fishermen who couldn't even afford a house.

According to the tradition of the Sword Sect, a disciple from a poor background, no matter how perverted his talent and strength are, it is impossible for him to be awarded the position of sect master and not receive the highest standard of training.

This is also the reason why Ishihara Masami has always been able to be a little transparent in the Sword Sect, even if she is unparalleled.

Koshiro admires Masami Ishihara.

But she has never moved, making her the new generation of sect masters of the Sword Sect

Idea.

However, times have changed.

The fall of the ghost horse Katazo, the rise of the superpowers, the interference of the igus, and the withering of the new generation of disciples all made Koshiro feel deeply worried.

At other times, even if it is to let Fujisaijiro, a disciple with average strength, make a transition, and then slowly select and train a successor, it is acceptable.

But now, Xiao Shilang clearly knows that the Sword Sect has no time to slowly cultivate a new Sword Saint.

After a slight hesitation, Koshiro took out the phone and dialed it.

A moment later.

A pretty girl in a pink cherry blossom pattern kimono came to the tomb of Ken Mound.

"Master."

The girl obediently saluted Kitagawa Keiko, and then bowed ninety degrees to Xiao Shiro, and said respectfully: "Meet Your Excellency the Sect Master." ”

Kitagawa Keiko looked at her proud disciple, her eyes full of appreciation and love.

"Masami, how long have you been in Silent Lake?"

Koshiro asked seemingly casually.

The girl's pair of slender jade hands were folded on the lower abdomen, and she said respectfully: "Six years, seven months, eleven days and eight hours." ”

"Are you willing to sacrifice everything you have for the Sword Sect?"

Koshiro asked again.

"Yes."

The girl's answer did not hesitate at all.

Xiao Shiro said again: "Then you can change your name." ”

The girl was stunned.

But her master, Keiko Kitagawa had a smile full of surprise on her ravine-filled face.

The day has finally arrived.
