After breakfast, Xie Yinian first set off to the Heavenly Master League of H City, where he met with other players who had passed the trial, and then under the leadership of several Keqing elders, they took a car to Qinling together.

When the car could no longer drive in, everyone abandoned the car and switched to walking.

I don't know how long I walked, and everyone's spirits were suddenly shaken.

The emperor has been dormant in the valley for decades, and the breath has soaked into the surrounding mountains and rivers, and there is no need for Elder Keqing to remind them, everyone senses this faint, but comfortable breath, and they know that they are approaching their destination.

After about twenty minutes of walking, everyone's vision suddenly widened.

Ahead was a flat land, with no tall trees to shade the sun, and streams trickled from the top of the hill.

At the end of this flat land, a valley is faintly visible.

Everyone's eyes were furious.

"You will make a little repair in the same place, and wait until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the first person will enter the valley." Elder Keqing, who led the team, reminded.

When everyone heard this, they either sat on the suitcase or sat directly on the ground.

Only Xie Yinian seemed to be magically and took out three folding small benches from the suitcase.

Zhan Bingyun was pleasantly surprised: "Nianzi, you actually brought this." ”

"yes, the suitcase is empty anyway, so I just bought something that I would use in the field. Although it is very likely that you will not be able to use them, these things are not expensive, so you can buy them in case of any trouble. ”

Xie Chuan, who was sitting on the futon, heard Xie Yinian's voice and glanced at them, his eyes were faint.

But soon, Xie Chuan gathered his thoughts and concentrated on breathing.

Xie Yinian didn't notice Xie Chuan's deep gaze, he sat on the folding bench and took out his mobile phone to take a look.

Sure enough, no signal was received at all.

It seems that there is no way to report safety to Ms. Yao.

More than an hour later, the Elder Keqing, who led the team, and the twenty Elders Keqing who were guarding the valley came together.

One of them said, "Xie Chuan, go in." We'll start the time from the moment you step into the valley, so you hurry. ”

Xie Chuan strode into the valley.

He couldn't even take care of the scenery of the valley.

From the moment he entered the valley, his gaze was completely glued to the sword.

Xie Chuan walked uncontrollably towards the Zhaoqi Sword, until he was still ten meters away from the Zhaoqi Sword, he was forced to take no further half a step by the coercion exuded by the Zhaoqi Sword.

Xie Chuan didn't dare to resist the coercion of the Courage Sword, so he could only obediently stop at the ten-meter limit and try to communicate with the Courage Sword with all the means he knew.

Swordsmanship, psychic talismans, sword control tricks......

The seven or eight carefully prepared methods were all used, and the sword of courage inserted in the mountain stone still did not fluctuate, like an eternal and high king, indifferently ignoring the efforts of mortals.

Cold sweat gradually broke out on Xie Chuan's forehead, and his fingers trembled slightly.

He closed his eyes and tried his best to keep himself calm and composed, but he still couldn't restrain his gaffe.

Looking at the still calm Zhao Courage Sword, Xie Chuan clenched his teeth: "It shouldn't be like this, in the illusion, obviously I pulled you up easily." ”

"I used you to kill all the evils, and I used you to calm all the turmoil."

"Emperor Ruler, when the people set the mountains and rivers, no one can do better than me, why don't you approve of me!"

Xie Chuan clenched his hands into fists and smashed them the light curtain that blocked his progress, smashing the tiger's mouth and smashing blood everywhere.

The warm blood stains spread along the light curtain, gradually approaching the Zhaogong Sword, but it was shocked into smoke by the sudden increase in the fluctuations of the Zhaoqi Sword.

Xie Chuan still smashed hard for a long time without knowing the pain, until the sword fell silent again, and the last trace of hope in his eyes also dissipated.

However, how can it be willingly -

According to the courage of the sword, the country will be stable.

Such a fierce emperor weapon, why can't he be in charge.

His heart, perseverance, and talent are far behind others.

Xie Chuan seemed to be tireless, even abandoning the image he cared about the most in the past, and kept repeating all the means at his disposal in a very embarrassed but tenacious attitude.

It wasn't until the bell came from outside the valley and wandered into the valley that Xie Chuan suddenly came back to his senses.

He lowered his head, looked at the wound on the side of his hand that was gradually solidifying, then hid his injured hands under the wide sleeve robe, and walked out of the valley with his head held high, to meet the scrutiny of everyone.

Many Elders of Keqing saw Xie Chuan's empty hands, and they all sighed in their hearts.

In their opinion, Xie Chuan was the most likely candidate to be recognized by the emperor, but Xie Chuan still failed.

I just hope that the people behind can give some help.

Xie Chuan tried his best to ignore those gloating glances, silently walked through the crowd, and walked to the corner to sit down.

He took out a specially prepared mobile phone, which could receive a single signal even in such a remote valley.

Xie Chuan held his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xie Zuo: [Failed]

No matter how Xie Zuo reacted to this result, Xie Chuan directly threw the phone into his bag and closed his eyes a little tiredly.

"What do you think?" Ban Hee asked.

Zhan Bingyun's eyesight is excellent: "There is a faint blood stain on the cuffs. ”

Xie Yinian said: "His hand has been shrunk in his sleeve, it should be injured." ”

Ban Xi sighed: "It seems that he is very excited." ”

A smile overflowed at the corner of Zhan Bingyun's lips: "It's not surprising, I've never suffered setbacks, and the road ahead has been paved by the elders." ”

Xie Yinian said: "His heart should be very extreme. The conceit thinks that he can do it, but it is difficult to withstand the blow of not being able to do it. ”

Ban Shimo rubbed his chin: "That's a very apt statement. Originally, I thought that Xie Chuan's dustless posture under his eyes would be very similar to the temperament of the high-flying Zhaobi Sword, but now that I think about it, from the first generation of the Zhaoqi Sword, Wu Ding, the Zhaogong Sword is a sword of conquest for the Quartet. It is not a sword that has been put on the shelf, more often than not, it can be with the light. ”

Listening to Ban Xi's analysis of the aesthetics of a sword from such a humane perspective, Xie Yinian's eyes showed a little smile.

He looked up at the sky: "It seems that it is not Sister Bingyun's turn to try today." ”

Zhan Bingyun said: "It's okay to go tomorrow, just enough to recharge your energy for a night." ”

Only four people can enter the valley today.

Zhan Bingyun happened to be in fifth place.

Her contribution is the highest among the younger generation, but the trial allows Celestial Masters under the age of forty to participate.

The Heavenly Masters ranked second, third and fourth were all in their thirties, and they had ten years more accumulation than Zhan Bingyun, and it was normal for Zhan Bingyun's ranking to be slightly inferior to them.

It was close to the early hours of the morning that the fourth Celestial Master who had entered also exited the valley in defeat, and everyone went to the tent prepared by the Celestial Master Alliance to rest.

At eight o'clock the next morning, the ice clouds entered the valley.

Two hours later, the ice cloud strode out of the valley.

Seeing that Zhan Bingyun didn't have any weapons in his hand, everyone finally couldn't help but whisper.

Even those Elders looked at each other anxiously several times.

"Are you alright?" Xie Yinian hurriedly handed Zhan Bingyun a mineral water bottle.

"Come on, come on, sit down first." Ban Xi moved the stool to Zhan Bingyun.

Zhan Bingyun fanned himself with the sleeve of his robe.

"Don't mention it, that sword didn't give me any reaction."

"For two hours, it was as if I was throwing my winks at the blind! Now I don't think it's much important to bind it and let it recognize its master, but let it sort it out is the most important thing! ”

Listening to Zhan Bingyun's ridiculous complaints, Xie Yinian knew that her mentality was okay, and there would definitely be some loss, but it did not affect her beliefs.

On the contrary, it was Xie Chuan, who had never appeared in front of everyone since he entered the tent last night.

Today's efficiency is much faster than yesterday's, but unfortunately, until it was close to the early hours of the morning, no one was able to successfully contract the sword.

On the fourth day, Banshi also went in.

After coming out, the first thing he said to Zhan Bingyun was: "I finally know what you mean by that complaint, I was so angry that I took out the melodica I carried with me and played it to it." ”

Zhan Bingyun: "...... Can it understand? ”

Ban Xi said: "It doesn't matter if it understands it or not, I'm forced to have no choice anyway." ”

Let him leave early, he will definitely not be happy.

Even if he wastes time inside, he will use up two hours!

Zhan Bingyun was speechless, and turned his head to look at Xie Yinian: "Nianzi, now you are the hope of the whole village." ”

Xie Yinian couldn't cry or laugh: "I will do my best." ”

On the sixth day, it was finally the turn of the forty-one.

Xie Yinian was about to get moldy in this deep mountain and old forest, he stood up, ran around the periphery of the camp twice to move his body, and just ran back to the tent area, he saw Ban Xi standing at the door of his tent, walking around in a hurry.

"Banxi, what's wrong?" Xie Yinian asked.

When Ban Xi saw him, his eyes lit up suddenly: "You can be regarded as back, something has happened!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"I just saw a group of people coming here in a hurry from outside, and the person led by one is Elder Xie Zuo of the Xie family, did you say something big is going to happen."

Xie Yinian was stunned.

Before they all entered the valley, a group of people hurried here, and it seemed that something was indeed going on outside.

I just don't know what it is, and whether it will affect his entry into the valley......

Before they had even entered the valley, a new group of people hurried here, and it seemed that something had happened.

I just don't know what the matter is, and will it affect him to try to bind the emperor's weapon......

"Xie Yinian, the elders are looking for you to go to the tent to talk." A baby-faced Heavenly Master trotted up to Xie Yinian and relayed Elder Keqing's words to him.

Ban Xi hurriedly said, "Did the elders say something about it?" ”

The baby-faced Heavenly Master shook his head: "I didn't say it, but I don't see that the elders' faces are not very good-looking, so you better hurry up." ”

Xie Yinian thanked him and walked towards the tent area where the elders lived.

"I'll go with you." Ban Xi hurriedly followed him.

When the two of them were about to walk to that area, they met Xie Chuan, who was walking slowly from the other direction with a peachwood sword in his hand.

"You're also going to Elder Keqing?"

To Xie Yinian and Ban Xi's surprise, Xie Chuan actually took the initiative to greet them, and his tone was even a little gentle.

But his abnormal reaction made Xie Yinian feel a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Xie Chuan and Xie Zuo, what are you going to do?

Inside the largest tent in the camp.

Several of the Elders of Keqing who were in charge of the assessment and the people brought by Xie Zuo stood clearly on both sides.

"Elder Zhou, what do you think of this matter?" Xie Zuo took aim at Zhou Tianshi, the highest-ranking master in the field.

If Xie Yinian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this Zhou Tianshi was the head of the Zhou family whose eldest son died at the hands of the evil Heavenly Master Zhang Yongyuan, and who had gone to D City to give him a thank you gift.

Because of this incident, Zhou Tianshi admired Xie Yinian a little, but at this moment, Zhou Tianshi's face showed a little difficulty.

Zhou Tianshi said: "Xie Yinian took the shortest time in the trial, and now Xie Chuan and Zhan Bingyun, the seedlings that we are optimistic about, have not successfully bound the emperor's weapon. ”

"Among the remaining candidates, Xie Yinian is the most likely to succeed. If you decide to disqualify him, maybe no one will be able to pull out the sword......"

Xie Zuo had to interrupt Zhou Tianshi's words: "Zhou Tianshi, I think that it is better for no one to pull out the Zhao Dan Sword, and it is absolutely impossible to let a killing weapon like the Imperial Weapon fall into the hands of a person of unknown origin. ”

Lu Hexuan, the law enforcement elder of the Heavenly Master Alliance, frowned, and looked at Xie Zuo with some disapproval: "Xie Zuo's words are wrong, Xie Yinian's spiritual power is pure, and what he has learned is definitely an orthodox Dao Sect mental method, how can it be regarded as an unknown origin." ”

Lu Hexuan didn't know why Xie Zuo was so hostile to Xie Yinian.

But Lu Hexuan was worried that it was his words in the restaurant that caused all this.

So even though Lu Hexuan and Xie Zuo were good friends, Lu Hexuan still stood up and said a fair word for Xie Yinian.

Xie Zuo looked at his nose and nose, and said coldly: "Xie Yinian is neither born in any family, nor is he apprenticed to any Taoist temple, let alone heard of which casual cultivator he was taught from, as if he appeared out of thin air. ”

"Now this person who appeared out of thin air has not only suppressed the disciples you have carefully cultivated, but also overpowered Xie Chuan and Zhan Bingyun, who are recognized as the most talented."

"What's more, I, my nephew Xie Chuan, and Zhou Tianshi all met Xie Yinian two years ago. At that time, Xie Yinian definitely didn't start cultivating. ”

"It's been this in just two years. How did he do it, and where did his legacy come from. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Zuo raised his head and stared at Zhou Tianshi and the others: "All kinds of doubts, don't you think about it carefully?" ”

He decided to deal with Xie Yinian, and began to find someone to investigate Xie Yinian.

Xie Yinian's life trajectory is traceable, if you want to say where the turning point began, it was two years ago when he encountered the evil heavenly master Zhang Yongyuan, after learning the Tao from his teacher.

But the strange thing is that no matter how Xie Zuo checks, he can't find out who Xie Yinian is tutoring.

At that time, Xie Zuo had a good plan in his heart-

Attack Xie Yinian with a bad heel.

It can even be appropriately linked between Xie Yinian and evil cultivators.

Of course, Xie Zuo felt that he was not slandering Xie Yinian.

After all, is it possible for a normal monk to make such great progress in cultivation in such a short period of time? Maybe Xie Yinian really relied on something.

Xie Zuo's argument was quite biased, but Zhou Tianshi and Lu Hexuan were also a little hesitant.

Lu Hexuan looked at Zhou Tianshi and asked, "Xie Yinian really didn't start cultivating two years ago? ”

Zhou Tianshi sighed in his heart and nodded, "That's true." ”

Lu Hexuan thought for a moment and thought of a compromise.

"Xie Yinian should be coming over soon. Why don't we ask him face to face and listen to his explanation. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie Yinian, Ban Xi and Xie Chuan arrived outside the tent.

Lu Hexuan didn't pay attention to any false courtesy, and directly let them all in.

Zhou Tianshi saw that Xie Yinian's face was a little bad, and said in a gentle tone: "Xie Yinian, we called you over this time because we wanted to ask you something." You just have to tell us the truth. ”

Xie Yinian saluted Zhou Tianshi: "Yes." ”

Zhou Tianshi retold Xie Zuo's statement just now: "The imperial weapon is indeed very important, and it is just that no one raised objections before, but now that someone has raised it, you still need to tell your teacher." ”

The conjecture in his heart was confirmed, and Xie Yinian relaxed strangely.

Xie Yinian turned his head, looked at Xie Chuan, and then at Xie Zuo.

Xie Zuo smiled and asked, "Why does Xie Xiaoyou look at me like this?" ”

Xie Yinian said: "When I first met my senior, I thought that my predecessor was a master of the world, but later I realized that you have been acting coyly. ”

"As a high-ranking Heavenly Master, I look down on mortals, but there is no need to embarrass mortals."

"So the gentleness you show in the hospital is just an illusion."

Xie Zuo's face sank instantly: "Xie Xiaoyou, how can I say that I am also your senior, is it a bit arrogant for you to say this." ”

Xie Chuan also said: "You are here to take advantage of your tongue, but to delay time? ”

Some of the elders who were more old-fashioned in their thinking were also a little unsightly, and they felt that the Heavenly Master cultivated by this small sect, no matter how talented they were, their bearing was much worse than that cultivated by the famous and decent sects.

Ban Xi looked at Xie Yinian and wanted to make a round for him, but was pulled behind by Xie Yinian.

Xie Yinian took a few deep breaths.

The people standing around him, except for Ban Xi and Xie Chuan, were all big names in the Heavenly Master Realm.

Xie Yinian knew that as long as his answer was the slightest wrong, not only would he lose his qualification to compete for the imperial weapon, but he might also be taken down on the spot.

Now that Ms. Yao is not by his side, everything can only be relied on by himself......

"Xie Zuo, Xie Chuan, others don't know my background, don't you two really know?"

Everyone looked at Xie Zuo and Xie Chuan.

Xie Zuo and Xie Chuan were also very surprised in their hearts.

Xie Yinian was only two years old when he was lost, where did he know his background?

Xie Yinian looked at Zhou Tianshi, the corners of his lips trembled slightly, and there was no blood, but he still tried to smile.

"Master Zhou, you and I had a relationship two years ago."

"My master killed the evil heavenly master Zhang Yongyuan to avenge your eldest son, and later you gave me a defense bracelet. I don't know if you remember? ”

Zhou Tianshi nodded: "I remember." ”

Xie Yinian rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his right hand wearing black gloves: "You can check my qualifications." ”

Zhou Tianshi was a little puzzled, but he still put his hand on Xie Yinian's pulse.

A stream of aura flowed through Xie Yinian's pulse through his body, without any condensation. It can be seen how talented Xie Yinian is.

"Your qualifications are very high, and I have only seen them in my life." Zhou Tianshi let go of his hand and said, but he still didn't understand what Xie Yinian meant.

Xie Yinian asked: "May I ask Master Zhou, what kind of physique can be more powerful than the innate yin and yang eyes?" ”

Zhou Tianshi said casually: "There are only two physiques. The body of the extreme yang, the body of the extreme yin. ”

Xie Yinian said calmly: "Yes, I was born when the lunar year was cloudy and the moon was cloudy. ”

Many people present were stunned.

They didn't guess Xie Yinian's identity, but thought of one thing - the ancestor of the Yao family who used to be in charge of the imperial weapon was also the body of the extreme yin.

Xie Yinian looked around and took everyone's astonishment into his eyes.

He raised his chin slightly and said, "My father is Xie Zhou, the former young patriarch of the Xie family. My mother is Yao Rong of the Yao family. And I came from the Yao family, and what I learned from the ancestor of the Yao family is the same mental method. ”

When the words fell, the aura on his body suddenly poured out, and what he had learned was unconcealed.

The Zhao Courage Sword, which was obliquely inserted on the boulder and was always simple and waveless, sensed the familiar breath, and suddenly let out a clang, and the sword light rose into the sky, as if to give Xie Yinian a response.

Xie Yinian laughed softly.

He looked directly at Xie Chuan and paused word by word: "I sensed that the sword was calling me." It's waiting for me to enter the valley. ”

Xie Chuan's heart ached, and he subconsciously took a step back, his face as white as paper. ：，，
