"Lu Ming. Lu Ming's footsteps did not stop, but he left two words lightly, and made a small turn with the saint and entered the real inner city.

The old man stood in place, constantly recalling the name, but on the Sword Qi Continent, among the powerhouses that exist today, none of them are surnamed Lu, and there is no one surnamed Lu in the Supreme Seven Swords......

"Brother, what are you thinking?"

"Yes, old friend, who was that young man just now? Do you know each other?" Several old friends rushed over one after another, after all, today, in the entire Sword Hall Headquarters, the newly promoted Sword Saint was the protagonist.

"He's Lu Ming, and I just met. The old man glanced at the direction where Lu Ming disappeared, sighed and said, he suddenly remembered something, and said to a few old friends: "You wait for me for a while." ”

The old man's figure appeared in front of the black and white brothers in the next moment, startling them, but in front of the old man's majesty, they were all trying their best to restrain themselves, even if the old man's sword touched their throats.

"Fang Cai, a young man named Lu Ming came to participate in the assessment, and you led it, right?" the old man asked.

The white-faced gatekeeper immediately replied, "Yes, my lord. From Level 1 to Level 5 clearance, both of us brothers have followed us all the way. ”

The old man nodded lightly and said, "Very good, then, you can tell me about his assessment at each level now." ”

At the same moment, Lu Ming had already entered the inner city with the holy maiden, and the scene in front of him also shocked his heart slightly.

Needless to say, the majesty of the house building, Lu Ming was surprised by the pattern here. It turned out to be a huge sword array, and every street was a part of the sword array, and every house was the eye of the array.

With so many array eyes being connected, you can imagine how powerful this sword array is, the key is the people living in the house, that is, the swordsmen who control the array eyes, although their aura is very vague, but Lu Ming can still feel it, the lowest is the junior sword king realm!

It's no wonder that junior swordsmen can only watch the gate.

This is the first time that Lu Ming has been in appearance. I got to know the Sword Hall in depth. He glanced back at the outer city. If it is a tree full of life, then the inner city is a sword that hangs quietly, and it is not only sharp on the outside, but also stronger on the inside.

Lu Ming's line of sight was soon completely occupied by a tower. It's not high. Almost 100 meters in appearance. Therefore, it is almost invisible in the outer city, but it is stout like a wooden pier, with a radius of several thousand meters. There are dense windows on it, and occasionally you can see the figure flickering, but Lu Ming's perception ability can't penetrate it, and he can't capture any situation at all, but his eyes are more intuitive at this time.

Of course, this is also because Lu Ming can stop at the right time, so as not to be found by those strong people about the traces of the sword.

"That's the Sword Hall headquarters. The holy woman looked at Lu Ming's line of sight and said, "The orders for the operation of all branches in the country are all issued here, including trials. ”

Lu Ming nodded and said, "It does have a unique style, even if the palace is compared to it, it will not be so impressive." ”

"After all, this is the majesty of the Sword Hall. The saint smiled faintly and said, "I'll take you to meet my master first." ”

"Yes, after all, you haven't been back for more than a year. Lu Ming nodded and walked with the holy woman.

At this time, the two gatekeepers, black and white, were still telling the old man about the process of Lu Ming's assessment, and when they talked about the surprise, they were almost spitting.

"No wonder ......" The old man sighed softly, through understanding, he also obtained some information about Lu Ming, especially the details in the assessment, which were definitely amazing performances, and he couldn't help but sigh again: "This young man, it's not simple!"

Lu Ming was not aware of the things behind him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care much, even if he told the old man some knowledge about kendo, it was just talking. This is like a business elite, seeing a confused investor, casually clicking on the investment direction, for the benefits obtained by the investor, the business elite will not look at it.

Lu Ming is like this.

He was led by the Holy Maiden to a building with a square four-story façade made of stone bars, covered with thick vines and a few black and yellow leaves, through which he could occasionally see through the cracks of the stone bars that had been poured with a metal solution.

The thickness of the vines shows that the building is very old, but there is still no sign of deterioration, and the solidity can be seen.

It is not so much a house as a permanent fortification, and this is the foundation of the Sword Hall.

There are three or four huge trees in the courtyard, which can cover a small half of the courtyard with shade, and on the other side is a small garden, and a small artificial lake, which is dotted with rockeries and connected by stone bridges.

However, in Lu Ming's opinion, these scenery have another effect, connecting them one by one, in fact, it is a small sword formation, but it is not an offensive or defensive type, but it draws the vitality of heaven and earth.

Thinking about it, it is also understandable that a person as strong as the Sword Saint, even if the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the outside world is too thick, it is not enough for them to absorb, if there is no support from the Sword Array, then when the Sword Saint is cultivating, it is likely to create a vitality vacuum.

In the entire courtyard, there were only two sword slaves cleaning, and there was no one else.

"Holy Maiden?" A young sword slave saw the Holy Maiden coming, his eyes immediately lit up, he did not rush to the Holy Maiden, but threw away the broom in his hand and rushed to the building, thinking that he was going to report.

The other sword slave in his thirties was very calm, although he was also very surprised, but then he controlled his emotions very well, he walked quickly, and said, "Holy Maiden, I didn't expect you to come back, this time Master Venerable will be very happy." ”

"Yes, this farewell is more than a year, I didn't expect that your sword realm is about to enter the Great Sword Master, it's really impressive. When the saint spoke, she remained calm.

"Being able to follow Master Venerable and manage the courtyard for him is my goal in life, and as for the Sword Realm, I have already gone with the flow, but it has had a different effect. The sword slave also looked unbelievable, and then hurriedly saluted: "Your Excellency, please hurry, otherwise Master Venerable will really be in a hurry." ”

"Good. The holy woman nodded slightly, and walked forward, she was as familiar as home, and took Lu Ming directly through the courtyard and into the building.

"But my apprentice has returned?"

A medium-thick and deep voice suddenly sounded, like an ancient bell that had been struck, constantly echoing in the space.

Lu Ming found that the room was mostly made of stone, and the space was very huge, there were no complicated walls, this floor was an empty lobby, and the only decoration was a furnace in the corner, as well as an iron felt, a set of hammers, and a row of sword racks, with wooden swords on them, as well as brand-new steel swords.

Lu Ming smiled indifferently in his heart, judging from the shiny face of the iron felt and the hammer head, he had just struck iron some time ago, and it was obvious that the Sword Master would also personally cast iron swords.

"Yes, Master, it's the apprentice. As she spoke, the holy woman bowed respectfully.

A breeze blew, and a figure stopped abruptly in front of the saint, so that the saint's body that had bent down could no longer bend down.

At this time, an old man with a height of less than 1.80 meters and a white beard appeared in front of the saint almost out of thin air, and his pair of sword eyebrows were also gray, but the length was more than an inch, and they fell down the corners of his eyebrows, outlining the majesty and kindness of this face. His hands hung casually by his side, but his whole body was as majestic and tall as a mountain.

Lu Ming also felt the pressure, and his brows furrowed slightly, this is a seven-bladed sword saint, although it is not the most powerful, it is also close to the advanced level, and it is also a pivotal existence in the entire empire.

"I'm in vain. The old man smiled and said, and it could be seen from the smile on his face that he was very happy, and he was not even willing to let the saint bow down, and you can imagine the place of the saint in his heart.

The old man stretched out his hand to support the Holy Maiden, and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for you since I received your letter, but I didn't even congratulate my old friend on the celebration of his promotion to the Sword Saint.......

As the old man spoke, his kind face suddenly changed, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in surprise: "You...... It's not over!"

The old man's tone of voice was very heavy, but Lu Ming could feel it from the old man's expression and the changes in the aura on his body, he was not angry, but surprised and heartbroken, like a beloved crystal bottle suddenly shattered.

"Hmm. The saint didn't seem to know how to answer, so she could only nod with a heavy face.

"Alas, it's a pity!" the old man sighed and said, "You are already perfect, you will no longer be able to become a saint in this life, and the bright path of the future will be broken! Although you are already outstanding, but with the ascension of the sword realm and the rise of your status, you will get more in the future. Even if you can't worship the Sword Priest, you will at worst worship one of the Supreme Seven Swords, which is already second only to the top of the pyramid, and now ...... Alas!"

The old man looked at the saint very sadly, shook his head gently, and said, "What kind of man will make you tempted? If I have the chance, I really want to see him." (To be continued......)
