Early in the morning, Tang Junhe gathered everyone together and said to everyone with a solemn expression: "We can't continue to play, Master sent a message, let us return to the sect quickly." She was holding a square white jade plaque in her hand. This thing is called Lingxi Jade, and it is a tool for immortal cultivators to transmit information over long distances. When all the disciples of the Taiqing Sect who are above the Void Immortal Period go down the mountain to perform tasks, each person is equipped with a piece of Spiritual Breath Jade, which is mainly used for communication with the sect. However, the Spirit Breath Jade has a big disadvantage - it requires a huge amount of spiritual power to be consumed when transmitting, so it is rarely used by disciples who generally go down the mountain.

"Master said that he had contacted Senior Brother Lu, but he didn't receive a reply, so he summoned me. Tang Junhe continued.

Lu Baifeng touched his chest, and suddenly remembered that his piece of spiritual jade had already fallen into the Blue Ice River in the fight with the Blood Pupil Purple Python. "In that case, Senior Sister Tang, you reply to the Seventh Elder first, and after your spiritual power recovers, we will immediately return to the Sect with the sword. ”

Each piece of Spiritual Breath Jade is imprinted with the owner's soul imprint, which cannot be used by others.

"Bad luck...... I still want to take a good look at the selection of horses this time!" Zhu Xiaomin was very disappointed.

"Xiaomin, there will be a chance to come down the mountain again in the future. This time, the master asked me to return to the sect as soon as possible without delay, it seems that there is an urgent matter in the sect. I'll reply to Master first. With that, Tang Junhe closed his eyes, clenched the Spirit Breath Jade with both hands, and gathered the spiritual power of his whole body to pour into the Spirit Breath Jade. After a while, she opened her eyes and slumped weakly on the recliner in the room: "It's so tiring to transmit the message, it has to consume almost all of my spiritual power, no wonder only disciples above the Void Netherworld realm are equipped with the Spirit Breath Jade, and if you don't reach the Empty Netherworld, you can't even send a message." ”

"Okay, after Senior Sister Tang's spiritual power recovers, we will leave for the sect immediately!" Lu Baifeng said.

Hanzhou is very far away from Tiandao Mountain, even if the group spends up their speed, day and night, counting the time to rest and recover their spiritual power, it will take more than ten days, plus the time for Tang Junhe to recover his spiritual power, half a month after receiving Yu Ruijiang's message, everyone finally rushed back to Taiqing Sect.

When I arrived at Taiqing Sect, it was noon. Lu Baifeng and Xiao Liying parted from everyone in front of the Daode Hall and returned to their residences. Tianxiao, Tianyao, Tang Junhe and Zhu Xiaomin returned to the long-lost bamboo garden together.

"Master, we're back!" As soon as he entered the bamboo garden, Zhu Xiaomin shouted loudly.

The doors of the two bamboo houses at the east head opened, and Yu Ruijiang and Han Mingfei walked out.

Han Mingfei's complexion has improved a lot, and it seems that his injuries have healed. He was very happy to see his younger brother and sister coming back, and greeted everyone warmly. Yu Ruijiang's face showed a trace of anxiety, thinking of this hurried interrogation, Tang Junhe asked, "Master, is there something happening in the sect?"

Yu Ruijiang nodded: "What I was most worried about still happened." The news of the birth of the Seven Star Sword leaked. ”

"What, how could it be?" Tang Junhe looked surprised. Everyone else immediately fell silent.

"Master, who told me this news?" asked Tianxiao.

"It's not clear who leaked it, but the other six major sects have already gotten the news, so I quickly recalled you to the sect. After I left with the Great Elder, you didn't tell anyone about it, did you?"

"Master, it's definitely not what we said. The six of us have been getting along day and night, and we haven't met any suspicious people, and besides, how can we talk about it with others when we talk about such an important secret?" Tianxiao replied firmly.

"No...... Brother Tianxiao, the six of us haven't been together all the time. There is a ...... I have left us for a day......" Zhu Xiaomin hesitated a little between his words.

"You said Senior Brother Lu, it can't be him! He went to fight the demon python desperately in order to save us, how can you doubt him?" Tianyao was very dissatisfied.

"I don't want to doubt him, but only he has left us all......" Zhu Xiaomin was slightly aggrieved.

Tianxiao also defended Lu Baifeng: "Xiaomin, you and Senior Brother Lu have been together for a short time, and you may not know him as a person. I think that when we were in distress in the Green Cloud Swamp, Senior Brother Lu had to protect everyone regardless of his own life, he was a man who stood up to the sky, and he would definitely not do that kind of thing. ”

Han Mingfei persuaded: "Don't be suspicious, I also believe in Senior Brother Lu's character." Let's listen to Master. ”

Yu Ruijiang lowered his head and muttered for a moment: "You all come to my room, I have something to ask." ”

After everyone entered the house and sat down, Yu Ruijiang said to Tang Junhe: "You tell me in detail about what happened after you separated from us that day." ”

So, Tang Junhe started from the Lin Xiang Festival in Yanzhou, talking about Tianyao's perception of nature, Tianxiao's battle and enlightenment have stepped into the late stage of harmony, and said that everyone encountered the blood pupil purple python, until finally Lu Baifeng punished Kong Xinyan, vividly and eloquently.

Yu Ruijiang was very surprised when he heard it, Tianxiao and Tianyao both entered the late stage of harmony, which really made him happy. Later, I heard that everyone actually encountered the blood pupil purple python, one of the three major demon pythons, but fortunately, the demon python was killed by Lu Baifeng, and Yu Ruijiang had palpitations.

"Blood Pupil Purple Python...... Even though it is a good thing to eliminate harm for the people, you are inevitably too bold. If it weren't for Bai Feng's presence, it would be a question of whether you would be able to come back to see me. Yu Ruijiang sighed.

Han Mingfei asked, "Master, is that blood-pupiled purple python really so good?"

"Of course! The Blood Pupil Purple Python is even more difficult to deal with than the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf and the Chasing Wind Leopard that I encountered before. The Blood Pupil Purple Python is long and powerful, and its scale armor is extremely strong, and even if I encounter it, it will take a lot of effort to subdue it. If it weren't for Lu Baifeng's swordsmanship routine to restrain the Blood Pupil Purple Python this time, I'm afraid that your junior brothers and sisters would be in danger of their lives. ”

"So I don't believe it was Senior Brother Lu who leaked the secret of the Seven Star Sword. As for a few of us, it's even more unlikely. "Tianyao said.

Yu Ruijiang nodded, then pondered for a while and asked Han Mingfei, "Are you sure that all the other sect disciples who have seen the Seven Star Sword are dead?"

"Yes, Master. At that time, Senior Brother Lu, Tianxiao, and Tianyao carefully checked them one by one, and they were indeed all dead, so they dug up the grave and buried the body. ”

"Master, could it be that Li Yanqing met other people before he fought with us, or did Li Yanqing tell others about the Seven Star Sword?" Tian Xiao guessed.

"Unlikely. Li Yanqing hated the disciples of the Seven Great Sects, how could he not kill him? Moreover, the Seven Star Sword was so rare, and if the news leaked out, it would definitely attract a master to snatch it, and Li Yanqing would not be so stupid. Yu Ruijiang said, "Okay, let's put aside the matter of who leaked the news for the time being." The top priority is how to deal with the other six major sects. ”

Tang Junhe asked, "Master, I wonder how the other six major sects reacted when they learned the news of the Seven Star Sword?"

"After I returned to the sect with the Great Elder, I handed over the Seven Star Sword to the sect master. No, a few days ago, Ye Shenrong, the sect leader of the Tianyun Sect, and Zuo Aolian, the sect leader of the Ethereal Sect, came to the Taiqing Sect together, and the next day, Zhu Honglie, the sect leader of the Red Sun Sect, Yan Sushuang, the sect leader of the Cold Moon Sect, as well as the sect leader of the Fengling Sect, Taiqian, and the sect leader Guo Yunchao, all came to my Taiqing Sect. The purpose of the six sect masters is the same, for the seven-star sword. Yu Ruijiang said.

"Isn't the Night Leaving Sect befriending my Taiqing Sect?"

"Friendship is only relative, originally the strength of the seven major sects was similar, and each sect had a peerless immortal sword, but now I have two in the Taiqing Sect, and the ranking of the Seven Star Sword is as high as seventh, the other six major sects definitely don't want a super sect to be generated, even if it is a good friend of my sect, this is also the case. Yu Ruijiang said.

Zhu Xiaomin asked, "Master, what do the six sect masters want to do when they come to Taiqing Sect?"

"Of course, they want to force our sect to hand over the Seven Star Sword. It's just that Sect Master Li denied that he had the Seven Star Sword, and they didn't seem to have any definite evidence that the Seven Star Sword was in our sect, so they asked to talk to the Taiqing disciples who had survived from the Green Cloud Swamp. But except for Ming Fei who is recuperating from his injuries in the sect, a few of you are not there, so I urgently summon you back. ”

"What is there to talk about? It's not like I want to reveal some secrets!" Zhu Xiaomin snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Mingfei, Tianxiao, Tianyao, no matter what they ask you tomorrow, as long as it's not about the Seven Star Sword, you will answer truthfully. If you ask about the Seven Star Sword, you can pretend not to know. When the sect elders are all present, presumably they won't be too embarrassed by you juniors. Yu Ruijiang instructed.

"Yes, Master. ”

......

At the next hour, the Taiqing Sect's moral hall was full of people.

"Sect Master, all the five disciples who survived from the Green Cloud Swamp that day are here, if you don't believe me, just ask them. Li Yuanxiao arched his hand casually. It could be seen that he was not very happy.

A middle-aged man with a mustache in the guest seat got up with a smile: "Sect Master Li, look at what you said." We just wanted to know about the situation at that time, after all, only the disciples of your sect survived. ”

Li Yuanxiaopi replied with a smile: "Sect Master Ye, let's gossip less, don't delay everyone's time." ”

That man was Ye Shenrong, the sect leader of the Tianyun Sect, who was amiable on the surface, but in fact he was quite ruthless, and his style of action was categorical and ruthless. It is no wonder that without some means, how can he firmly sit in the position of the head of the great sect.

Ye Shenrong owed a debt to Li Yuanxiao, walked to the five people standing side by side, looked at them one by one with a smile, and said in praise: "Taiqing Sect is really talented." I think that Yuan Chen, who was in the middle stage of my sect's void hole, died in the hands of Li Yanqing, but not only did the Taiqing Sect survive, but two of them were only in the late stage of harmony. It's really impressive!"

Han Mingfei heard the meaning of his words, so he arched his hand and said: "Sect Master Ye, the disciple of your sect met Li Yanqing first, so he was slaughtered, and my sect is really lucky, and the first person to meet is Fu Wenxi. With Senior Brother Lu's strength, he can naturally keep the disciples of my sect well-thought. ”

Ye Shenrong nodded again and again: "In this way, it is the bad luck of my sect's disciples." He looked at Lu Baifeng, who had the highest cultivation among the five, "I want to know, were Li Yanqing and Fu Wenxi killed by you at that time?"

"Back to Sect Master, Li Yanqing was indeed killed by me, while Fu Wenxi committed suicide. Lu Baifeng said.

In the guest seat, a white-haired old man in a red robe ordered in a cold voice: "How did the stronger disciples sent by our six sects die? "This person is none other than Zhu Honglie, the sect leader of the Red Sun Sect. Zhu Honglie is the highest cultivation among the seven great sect masters, and he was already in the late stage of extinction eight years ago, and now his strength is close to that of Mahayana. In addition, the peerless immortal sword of the Red Sun Sect, the Pure Jun Sword, is the highest-ranked among the immortal swords of the Seven Great Town Sects, and it is these two points that have created the unshakable status of the Red Sun Sect. Zhu Honglie was already a fiery temper, and the Red Sun Sect and the Taiqing Sect were not on the right path, so he had always looked at the disciples of the Taiqing Sect unpleasantly.

"Back to Sect Master Zhu, Daoyou Xia Dongming of your sect and Daoyou Shen Bixuan of the Cold Moon Sect were both killed by Li Yanqing's sucking of spiritual power. Then, Yuan Chen's lonely Daoist friend of the Tianyun Sect was kicked to death by Li Yanqing, and Song Xihang's Daoist friend who left the sect at night and Liu Zhongxian Daoyou of the Ethereal Sect blew themselves up and hit Li Yanqing hard, so I had a chance to kill him. Wang Ruobin, who left the sect at night, was drained of his spiritual power by Fu Wenxi before the decisive battle. The Daoist friends of the Feng Ling Sect were killed after meeting Li Yanqing before they reunited with us. Lu Baifeng recalled in detail the death of the other six great sect high-level disciples.

"It seems that Li Yanqing's skills should be very strong. Fighting so many of you alone, you were forced to blow yourself up before you were injured. A middle-aged woman in a blue robe spoke. Looking at the color and style of the robe, you can know that this person is Yan Sushuang, the sect leader of the Cold Moon Sect. Although Yan Sushuang was the sect master of the Cold Moon Sect, he had never formed a Taoist relationship with the people of the Red Sun Sect, and had always been alone. She, like Li Yuanxiao, is also in the mid-stage realm of annihilation.

"Yes. Li Yanqing's skills are extraordinary. If it weren't for Song Daoyou and Liu Daoyou who blew themselves up twice and injured Li Yanqing's arms, I'm afraid we would all die tragically under his hands. Lu Baifeng replied.

A young woman in a green robe stood up, walked up to the five of them, and glanced at them coldly: "I don't know what blades Li Yanqing and Fu Wenxi used?" This person's name is Tangtai Qian, he is the sect master of the Fengling Sect, his appearance is cold and beautiful, and he has never married others. It is said that Guo Yunchao, the sect leader of Yeli, once pursued her, but was rejected.

Lu Baifeng was just about to open his mouth, but Taiqian suddenly said, "You come!" She was staring at Xiao Liying, the only woman among the five Taiqing disciples.

"Back to the sect master, Li Yanqing and Fu Wenxi are both bare-handed and have no blades. Their strange techniques can condense spiritual power in the palm of their hands, and then they can catch the attacks of the fairy sword with their bare hands. ”

"It's really nonsense!" A middle-aged man with a hooked nose on the seat shouted, this is Zuo Aolien, the sect leader of the Ethereal Sect, "My disciple Liu Zhongxian's fairy sword is full of subtle cracks, that fairy sword is a medium-grade fairy sword, even a high-grade fairy sword may not be able to leave traces on the sword, according to what you said, can Li Yanqing's hand be comparable to a good grade fairy sword?"

Xiao Liying was not in a hurry: "Sect Master Zuo has not seen Li Yanqing's strange exercises with his own eyes, let me ask, with the cultivation of Sect Master Zuo's Silent Annihilation Realm, do you dare to take my Senior Brother Lu's immortal sword with your bare hands?

Xiao Liying's words made Zuo Aolian unable to refute, so he had to snort coldly.

"Everyone, please take out your fairy sword and let me have a look. Tan Taiqian said lightly.

"Sect Master, what do you mean by this? Could it be that my sect has obtained the Seven Star Sword, will it be handed over to a certain disciple?" Li Yuanxiao was very annoyed.

"Sect Master Li, you're too worried. I just want to see their fairy swords. Tan Taiqian bowed slightly.

"In that case, let the Sect Master of the Lantai take a good look at whether your immortal sword is a seven-star sword!" Li Yuanxiao sat down angrily.

All five of them pulled out the fairy sword on their backs and placed it on the long table in front of them. Tan Taiqian picked them up one by one, carefully observed them one by one, a faint smile appeared on her face, and asked slowly, "I don't know what quality these five fairy swords are?"

Lu Baifeng replied: "My Rong An Sword and Senior Brother Han's Guan Chu Sword are both top-grade immortal swords, Senior Sister Xiao's Xia Lian Sword is a medium-grade fairy sword, and the Loose Pattern Sword and Gu Ding Sword of the two junior brothers Tianxiao and Tianyao are Shadow Liangpin Immortal Sword. ”

Listening to Lu Baifeng's words, Yutai Qian was stunned for a moment: "I have heard that the two masters of the Mahayana realm of Taiqing Sect, Wei Bin Yang and Wei Bin Liu, used the Songwen and Guding Shadow Immortal Swords, and it turned out to be these two. As she spoke, she carefully looked at the two brothers, Tianxiao and Tianyao. "What is the origin of these two boys with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes? Listening to the names of the two, they should be brothers, in the later stage of harmony, it is not easy for the Taiqing Sect to be willing to give two good fairy swords. She thought to herself.

"Both of you are in the Cave Void Realm, and there is not a trace on your top-grade fairy sword, which means that Li Yanqing's hands are not yet up to the hardness of the best fairy sword, which is roughly equivalent to a good grade fairy sword. But why is this girl's mid-grade fairy sword also intact?" It turned out that this was the real purpose of her inspection of the Five Immortal Swords.

"The sect master of Tangtai doesn't know, Li Yanqing and Fu Wenxi also raised a chasing wind and cloud leopard, at that time, Senior Brother Lu and Li Yanqing were fighting, and Senior Brother Han blocked Fu Wenxi, I didn't fight directly with the two of them, I only fought with the chasing wind and cloud leopard for a while. Xiao Liying replied.

Zuo Aolian couldn't help it: "Sect Master, don't go around in circles anymore." You keep saying that Li Yanqing has no blade, so let me ask you, why does he have a sword holster on his back?"

The people of the Taiqing Sect were all taken aback when they heard this, and Yu Ruijiang asked in surprise: "Dare to ask Sect Master Zuo how does he know that Li Yanqing has a sword holster on his back?"

Zuo Aolian said coldly: "It's very simple, Sect Master Ye once dug up the grave and examined Li Yanqing's body. ”

"Huh?" the elders of the Taiqing Sect exclaimed in unison. Digging people's graves is done by chickens and dogs, not to mention immortal cultivators, even ordinary people rarely do this. Even if it is a great enemy, he is already dead, and if he digs up the grave, it will be against human morality.

"Don't you feel ashamed that the master of a dignified sect would do such a degrading thing?" Li Yuanxiao shouted. In fact, he was bluffing, and he was worried about how he could make sense of the sword.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be surprised, there is a reason why I dug up Li Yanqing's grave. Ye Shenrong had a shameless smile on his face, "When your sect returned the immortal sword and my Tianyun Sect that day, I found that there were some faint marks on Yuan Chenlian's sword. Upon closer inspection, it was found that they were all small cracks caused by sharp weapons. This must have been done by Li Yanqing with a fairy sword above the good product. Then I personally went to the depths of the swamp to bring Tatsuku's bones back to the sect and bury them in a coffin. However, I found a faint blood character on the wall in the small courtyard, which was written with the word 'seven days', and the word 'day' was slightly flattened and written on the upper side, presumably the person who wrote died before he finished writing. Thinking of the scars on the sword, I quickly dug up Li Yanqing's grave, there was clearly a sword holster on his back, but several disciples of your sect said that Li Yanqing was fighting with his bare hands, isn't it too strange? Now I am even more convinced of my guess, the 'seven days' must be the word 'seven stars' that has not been written!"

After Ye Shenrong finished speaking, no one responded for a long time. What the hell is going on, in fact, only Lu Baifeng and the other five people know, no matter what the other six sect masters say, it is just speculation, now it depends on how the five Taiqing disciples explain the sword cover on Li Yanqing's back.
