According to later records, on the sixth day of the sixth month of the fourteenth year of Yonghong, the sword god Cao Qiong broke into Liang Guoqing Yang City alone, was besieged by dozens of martial arts masters and was undefeated, breaking through the realm of immortals in one fell swoop, and a magnificent sword rain fell over the imperial city.

In this battle, in addition to the empty mountain monk, Li Xian, and Yang Xiu, the three masters on the list of big weapons, the Liang State also sent a second-class master, seven third-class masters, and three thousand royal forest troops and eight hundred Jin Wuwei, and together they besieged and killed Cao Qiong, and finally were killed by the sword god who understood the realm of heavenly immortals More than 3,600 people, if it weren't for the empty mountain to try his best to stop the last sword, I was afraid that Feng Jingquan, Emperor Wu of Liang, would also be unable to escape death, and finally Cao Qiong left Qingyang City with a sword under serious injury, and the two palms of the empty mountain were pierced by the long sword, and the invincible golden body of forty years in the rivers and lakes was broken!

In this battle, Cao Qiong entered the realm of heavenly immortals, and his killing power was the best in the world, and he jumped to the first place in the world in Qingyang City, but in the long run, Cao Qiong exhausted his mind and almost exhausted his true qi, causing irreversible damage, at most there were only three or five years left, and the empty mountain golden body that occupied the first forty years in the world was broken, and the vitality of Liang Guo was greatly injured.

Feng Jingquan looked at the severed arms and stumps all over the ground in horror, Cao Qiong with his own strength, attracted ten thousand swords in Qingyang City to fly together, a rain of swords falling from the sky, and fell fiercely on the world, the last sword, but also caused the world to change color, at that moment, Feng Jing was full of remorse, regretting why he had to listen to Yang Xiu's proposal and make Cao Qiong an enemy, and now the Liang State has suffered heavy losses, and the royal road and palace have been destroyed countless times. Feng Jingquan was angry, slapped Yang Xiu on the face of the escort on the side, and brushed his sleeves away.

Yang Xiu clenched his teeth and said nothing. Li Xian hugged his sword and watched coldly from the side, Kongshan was not lightly injured, and it was expected that Cao Qiong would not be able to go and return without saying goodbye, planning to return to Yunyin Temple to retreat and heal. A group of eunuchs and palace maids rushed out from all directions tremblingly, forcibly enduring nausea and sweeping the ground. Yang Xiu lowered his head and stared at the ground, no one could see his expression clearly.

Cao Qiong, who returned to the Sword God Mountain Realm, was already crumbling, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he could no longer support it and passed out. Mei Shuyan heard the movement, hurriedly came out to investigate, was shocked when she saw this, and took Cao Qiong into the secret room to heal her injuries, but her cultivation was low, Cao Qiong was seriously injured, there was no panacea on the mountain, Mei Shuyan was busy for a while, but still did not improve, seeing that Cao Qiong's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Mei Shuyan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and when she was at a loss, she only heard Cao Qiong's voice like a fine mosquito, and said weakly: "Help me to the sword mound." Then he passed out again.

Mei Shuyan did not doubt him, and laboriously helped Cao Qiong into the sword mound and placed it on the ground in the center, only to see that the thousands of ancient swords in the sword mound could not help but tremble, and countless sword qi rose into the sky and merged into Cao Qiong's body. I don't know how long it took, Cao Qiong's breathing became more stable, and his complexion turned ruddy. And the ancient sword in the sword mound seemed to be cut off, and it became dim.

After a while, Cao Qiong woke up and told Mei Shuyan what happened in Qingyang City. It turned out that Cao Qiong was born with a sword fetus, and after entering the realm of heaven and man, he could heal his injuries with the world's famous sword qi, but in the battle of Qingyang City, Cao Qiong was too late to consolidate the realm after ascending to the realm, and the foundation of the heavenly fairy realm was unstable, and he forcibly exercised the last move, and he wanted to kill Feng Jingquan in one fell swoop, but he was desperately saved by Kongshan, and in the end, although he broke the undefeated King Kong who had dominated the world for forty years, Cao Qiong was even more injured by Zhenyuan, and most of his cultivation was destroyed, and he fell to the first-class realm. Cao Qiong was not as strong as a pure martial artist like Sikong Li, who proved the Tao with strength, which led to a lot of illness and his life was short, but he didn't want Mei Shuyan to worry, so he concealed the matter.

Mei Shuyan was surprised and delighted, as the recognized number one in the world in this generation of rivers and lakes, the empty mountain monk has not been defeated in forty years, as strong as Ling Xiaoyun, and he has also been deflated under the hands of this person, and Cao Qiong not only broke his undefeated myth, but also retreated under the siege of a group of good players, which made Mei Shuyan not surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Then you are now the first in the world?" ”

Cao Qiong waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "That's just that moment, now most of the cultivators are staying in Qingyang City, not to mention being the first in the world, without this Sword God Mountain, it is a question whether they can enter the top five." ”

Mei Shuyan said regretfully: "That's really a pity, if you let Lu Xiaozi know that you, the master, defeated the empty mountain monk and became the first in the world, you won't be happy to die." ”

Mentioning Lu Huaiyuan, Cao Qiong suddenly said: "Sister, the old man begs you for something, you have to promise me anything." ”

Cao Qiong was arrogant all his life, and he was born before the age of forty, and he was a friend of Qiu Yao, who did not get better until his later years, and never asked for help in his life, seeing that Cao Qiong was abnormal, Mei Shuyan nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely promise you." ”

Cao Qiong solemnly advised: "No matter what happens later, don't tell Lu Xiaozi the truth about the battle of Qingyang City." ”

Mei Shuyan wondered: "Why is this?" Didn't you work so hard to cultivate Lu Huaiyuan just so that one day you could make him take revenge and fulfill the long-cherished wish of your three generations? ”

Cao Qiong sighed: "If you don't enter Qingyang City, you don't know the dangers in the city." Three hundred years before and after the Liang Kingdom, Qingyang City as the capital, not only has heavy guards, but there are also many martial arts masters in the city to secretly protect Feng Jingquan, what is even more terrifying is that there are two large arrays in Qingyang City that are jointly built by qi practitioners to suppress the celestials who entered the city. Lu Xiaozi has a strong temperament, if he knows the ins and outs of the matter, he will inevitably be hot-headed and give his life in vain, and the old man has his own plans for this kid's future arrangements. In short, no matter what, you can't reveal the things in Qingyang City to Lu Xiaozi. ”

Mei Shuyan frowned and said: "Even if I don't say it, but the people in Qingyang City have seen you make trouble in the imperial city with their own eyes, how to block this mouth, Lu Xiaozi will still know sooner or later." ”

Cao Qiong said: "What is the truth, how can ordinary people know, it's a big deal to tell Lu Xiaozi that the old man met the empty mountain monk in Qingyang City, and he had a fight. ”

Mei Shuyan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Cao Qiong's words: "The old man did this, although he was selfish, but it was still the same sentence, since he was reincarnated in the Lu family in this life, this is his fate, and he can't escape." Besides, do you want him to avenge the old man and finally die in Qingyang City? ”

Mei Shuyan was speechless for a while, so she had to swallow all the words in her stomach and nodded, which was regarded as a promise to Cao Qiong.
