The next day, Lu Chen and Qu Qingyang rode back to the Sword Sect overnight, and Tang Xuan stayed in front of Ji Yun's grave and refused to leave.

Tang Xuan said that Ji Yun was very lonely when he stayed here, and he had to accompany him.

Lu Chen had long noticed that Tang Xuan was in love with Ji Yun, but he didn't expect her to love Ji Yun so much.

After persuading for a long time, Tang Xuan still refused to leave, Lu Chen had no choice but to let her go, maybe after a while, when she calmed down, she would naturally come back!

After returning to the Sword Sect, Lu Chen went straight to the main hall and entered the courtyard where the sect leader Murong Xuan lived, and reported on the matter of dealing with Ji Yun!

The palace where Murong Xuan lived occupied a large area, divided into the front hall, the main hall, and the back hall. It is the structure of three halls and two courtyards, each palace is built with good blue bricks, the roof of the palace is all made of gilded red tiles, the cold winter wax moon has not passed, and a lot of snow is still left on it.

As the sect master, Murong Xuan dealt with the sect locks in the front hall, and his life was naturally in this back hall. Inside there are rockery pavilions, fish pond pavilions, near the side door of the apse, is a small lake.

Murong Xuan sat on the Taishi chair, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand, looking very good.

"Coming back?"

"Yes, Sect Master!" Lu Chen came behind Murong Xuan and replied respectfully.

"How's the matter going!" Murong Xuan said with a solemn expression, unable to see any expression.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Ji Yun has been executed, and the Xuanqing heavy sword has also been taken back, please take a look!" After speaking, he took off the Xuanqing heavy sword behind his back and respectfully handed it to the other party with both hands.

Murong Xuan's gaze moved from the surface of the lake to Lu Chen's hand, looking at the dark heavy sword in his hand, his deep eyes couldn't help but pass a little nostalgia.

"Sure enough, it's the Xuanqing Heavy Sword, it's back to my Sword Sect, you didn't disappoint me, you did a good job!" Murong Xuan nodded, his expression couldn't hide his excitement, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said expressionlessly: "This is the duty of a disciple!"

"En!" Murong Xuan nodded, did not take the Xuanqing heavy sword, and continued: "Lu Chen, do you ever know the origin of this Xuanqing heavy sword?"

"I've heard of some!" Lu Chen said lightly.

"Let's hear it!" Murong Xuan said with an interested expression.

Lu Chen gently stroked the Xuanqing heavy sword, and said solemnly: "This sword is a great sword, ranked twenty-first on the sword list, weighing one thousand three hundred and twenty-five pounds and eight taels, made of meteoric iron outside the sky, in the past, it was one of the personal swords of the peerless sword saint!"

"I didn't expect you to know so much!" Murong Xuan glanced at Lu Chen in surprise, his eyes stared at the heavy sword in his hand again, and sighed: "Although the Xuanqing heavy sword is only ranked twenty-one on the sword list, in terms of fame, it is not inferior to other divine weapons at all!

"Know!" Lu Chen puffed up his chest and said, "Because this sword was the personal sword of the Peerless Sword Saint back then, this peak powerhouse used this sword to make meritorious contributions to the Sword Sect, and made great contributions, so it became famous!" Saying this, a touch of pride appeared on his face, because he himself was the descendant of the Peerless Sword Saint!

"Yes, the Peerless Sword Saint used to hold this Xuanqing heavy sword, single-handedly killing thirteen innate powerhouses in a row, achieving great fame, the undisputed number one on the list, and it is also a myth that my Sword Sect has recited through the ages!

Lu Chen was silent, waiting for the sect master to follow.

"Today, you have recovered this sword, and you have also dealt with traitors like Ji Yun and other sects, it is really a great achievement, let's say, what reward do you want!" A smile bloomed on Murong Xuan's face, Lu Chen was able to ruthlessly kill Ji Yun, who had been with him for more than half a year, for the sake of the sect, so there was no doubt about his loyalty.

"Reward?" Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, did he ruthlessly kill Ji Yun just to reward him? If that's the case, then don't want this kind of reward!

Lu Chen never thought of using his friend's life to seek future and benefits.

"What, you don't need it?" Murong Xuan saw that Lu Chen was silent, and said with some doubts.

Lu Chen responded: "Sect Master, the disciple has entered the sect and has been taken care of by the elders many times, and he is already very content, serving the sect is just doing his duty as a disciple, and the disciple does not dare to expect a reward!"

"You are modest, young, not greedy for vanity, it is really rare, no wonder Ziyun talks about you all day long, you can be taught! Among all the disciples of the younger generation, you are already very good!"

"Senior sister!" Lu Chen was secretly surprised, it was really strange that this woman Murong Ziyun would still think about him.

"According to the report of the spies, when you snatched the Xuanqing Heavy Sword in Red Leaf City, you fought with Li Tianxing, the only son of the Tsing Yi Sect, and the two fought in Jilei Mountain, and they also seriously injured him, is there such a thing?" Murong Xuan asked.

Lu Chen was taken aback, what happened just now reached the ears of the sect master so quickly, the intelligence power of the Sword Sect really covered a wide enough, if Ji Yun hadn't been killed by himself at that time and let him run away, it is estimated that this matter would not have been hidden from Murong Xuan!

At that time, how disappointed Murong Xuan should have been in himself, Lu Chen didn't dare to imagine.

"Slightly better!" Lu Chen was very modest.

Murong Xuan's eyes lit up: "I thought the information was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true, Lu Chen, I'm still underestimating you as the sect master, it's amazing!"

"Sect Master Liao praised, the disciple thinks that defeating a Li Tianxing is nothing, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the Kyushu Continent, the genius is like the stars in the night sky, there are countless of them, there is nothing to be proud of!" Lu Chen arched his hand, looking very low-key.

Murong Xuan said with a smile: "Lu Chen, you are good at everything, but you are too low-key! What kind of person is Li Tianxing, don't I know better than you? That is the fifteenth pride on the Hidden Dragon List, among the younger generation of the Kyushu Continent, this is already the most top-notch genius, and if you don't make a sound, you will defeat him, which is enough to show your talent and strength." Win glory for my Sword Sect, it's just around the corner!"

"The disciple is just a commoner, with no name, how can he be qualified to win glory for the Sword Sect!" Lu Chen smiled helplessly.

Murong Xuan shook his head and said, "You can't say that, there are unknown geniuses everywhere, they just lack a chance to make a name for themselves!

"Sect Master, what do you mean by this opportunity?" Lu Chen said with some doubts.

A bright smile bloomed on Murong Xuan's face: "Do you know about the Hidden Dragon Competition!"

"I've only heard of the Hidden Dragon List, but I've rarely heard of the Hidden Dragon Competition!" Lu Chen shook his head and said.

Murong Xuan explained: "To tell you the truth, this Hidden Dragon List is actually related to the Hidden Dragon Competition. As we all know, there are one hundred and eight talents on the hidden dragon list, which actually symbolizes one hundred and eight stars, and this group of people are all screened through the hidden dragon competition, and finally arranged through life and death battles again and again, and the competition is extremely cruel!"

"And the organizer who took the lead in holding this Hidden Dragon Contest is the most famous force in the mainland, Hongye Zhai!"

"What kind of force is he?" Lu Chen had heard the name of this force in his father's mouth, but he didn't know where he came from.

Murong Xuan said: "Hongye Zhai is a very low-key force, first of all, he does not compete for hegemony on the mainland, he only does business, all over all corners of Kyushu, and his influence is far-reaching. Among them, the most widely circulated book on the mainland, the 'Qianlong List', was written by them, and then printed and sold, making a lot of money. There are one hundred and eight geniuses recorded on it, and the origin, ranking, and amazing achievements of each genius will be clearly written on it for the world to read!"

"That's not everyone knows!" Lu Chen said with a little shortness of breath.

"Of course, the purpose of Hongye Zhai's move is to let these geniuses accumulate popularity and become famous all over the world in the name of the Hidden Dragon List!" Murong Xuan said with a smile.

"Famous all over the world!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling, and his enthusiasm was high.

"I'm very excited, right! Every young person is aiming for this hidden dragon list, cultivating hard in this land of Kyushu, and sharpening a sword for ten years. Let's ask the heroes of the world, who doesn't want to be famous, who doesn't want to get ahead?" Murong Xuan looked at Lu Chen playfully, and saw that he had a passionate expression, full of smiles.

Yes, in the land of Kyushu, outstanding people, in the history of 5,000 years, there have been too many gorgeous and peerless characters, but how many heroes and heroes are really famous in history!

And Hongye Zhai's move is to let those people of insight use martial arts to talk about heroes, use their strength to prove their potential and talent to the world, and win a reputation, so as to become famous in the world and get ahead.

Therefore, there is this 'Hidden Dragon Competition', once every ten years, the minimum number of participants can not be less than sixteen, the maximum can not exceed thirty, the venue is held in Yangzhou West Lake, when the time comes, it will attract countless geniuses to participate, that is the gathering of heroes, geniuses gathered, the grand occasion is unprecedented, extremely lively.

However, there are hundreds of millions of people in the Kyushu Continent, and if they can really stand out from it, they are all terrifying characters who are really powerful and capable.

And most of these geniuses are from the eight major sects, as well as the six major forces, in addition, those who have no support for others want to make a difference, it is even more difficult!

Everyone wants to be famous in the world, but there are only one hundred and eight people who can really be famous in the world, and the competition is unimaginable.

"Who doesn't want to be famous in the world, I'm just afraid of disappointing the sect master's expectations!" Lu Chen said calmly, in fact, he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Murong Xuan laughed loudly: "With your qualifications, it must be easy to get on the Hidden Dragon List, but if you want to be among the best, it may be a little bit worse, for the Sword Sect, there are disciples in the sect who can rush into the top ten, and I, as the sect master, am already satisfied!"

"Top ten? Hmph, the sect master really looks up to me! I never thought of being in the top ten, my goal is to be the first on the hidden dragon list, this is what I promised others before!" Lu Chen's eyes bloomed with determination.
