Chapter 1: The Land of the Swordsman

In the summer of 1791 in the Longzhou calendar

The Evil King Realm, which had been in turmoil for half a year, finally attracted the intervention of the Heavenly Governor Wang Xun.

Under the leadership of An Yuanxi, the angel of the Wind Patrol, the rebels in the Evil King Domain were disintegrated in just three months, and the final reconciliation was completed in the Evil King City in June under the leadership of the Governor Wang Xun.

After solving the territorial riots, the Evil King Palace gathered two grandmasters, thirty true legends in the palace, and two hundred fierce warriors formed an expeditionary force to crusade against injustice.

In July of the same year, the expeditionary force led by Duan Siping and Duan Yanyao, the great masters of the Evil King Palace, rushed to the border of Nanji, but the number of troops expanded from more than 200 to 400.

Among them, there are masters of the family who are dissatisfied with the crimes of the Longxi Alliance, and more are sectarian heirs who come from all the way from Zhongzhou and have justice in their hearts.

With the addition of the disciples of the three sects of the Shangpin Heavenly Sect, the Wushen Mountain, the Sun Covering Sect, and the Yuan Ying Mountain, the expeditionary force of the Evil King Palace was even more powerful.

And this also greatly boosted the morale of the crusading armies of all parties, because in recent months, whether it was the scouts sent by the four wealthy clans to spy on intelligence, or the hunters sent by the bounty guild, all of them suffered heavy losses, and the Longxi Alliance, which had entered the stage of full-scale preparation, showed extremely terrifying cohesion.

Coupled with Shuibo Mountain City's restrictions on martial artists below the fierce realm, after cutting off the merchant ships, the seven cities of Lingjiang became a natural danger that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, like a porcupine with thorns all over its body.

Although the four wealthy clans of Longzhou were happy, they did not send troops that could tear apart the alliance's defenses, and the group of righteous people who joined halfway were only a few who could use them.

Fortunately, now that the large army of the Evil King's Palace has arrived, the four wealthy clans seem to have found the backbone, not only the spying actions have become more frequent, but even the troops sent are several percent more than usual.

Just when everyone thought that the Longxi Alliance would be bulldozed by this mighty trend, the Longxi Alliance actually took the initiative to send an elite to meet it in the direction of Nanji.

And the leader is the only grandmaster of the Longxi Alliance-Xiao Jinlin!

A full 400 fierce realms dressed in spirit armor rose from the sky of Lanshan City, like a brilliant sun, which made people's hearts broken.

The bounty hunters who were still hidden in Lanshan City tried their best to hide their aura, and then greedily looked up at the alliance powerhouses who went out on the expedition.

Tang Hongjun, the second elder of the Tang family, Tang Yi, the first Tang Yi of Poma City, Tang Mo, the first Tang Mo of Fuling City, Tang Qian, the first generation of Jiejiang City, Xiao Baihe, the former patriarch of the Xiao family, and Cui Gong, the Taishang elder of the Cui family......

These familiar faces, all of them bounty hunters' dream heads, and now, they're all flying away!

......

July 1791 in the Longzhou calendar

The three-month voyage greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and Xu Shuhui faintly realized that letting Kundao slow down may not only be the request of the second brother Xu Changge, but also the meaning of winning the city.

Perhaps, in Xu's opinion, without Tang Sen and Tang Luo, the Longxi Alliance would be bulldozed by angry righteous people in three months at most.

After all, in the eyes of the Xu family, most of the family are greedy and lazy incompetents, and in the face of the crusade of the righteous people, they may not even have the ability to fight back.

And when Tang Sen and his vein come ashore, the battle in Longzhou has been decided, the rice has been cooked, and the wood has been completed.

Xu Shuhui, who was worried in her heart, talked about her speculation with her husband and eldest son at the dinner, but was comforted by Tang Sen's body: "Madame, don't worry. ”

"Mother doesn't have to worry, there is a patriarch in the Longzhou battle situation, and after all these years of accumulation, the Tang clan is no longer what it used to be. ”

Tang Luo added with a smile: "The elders at the peak of the Fierce Realm who have already involved the spiritual body are no less than twenty, plus the large amount of Xuanji Jade that has been stored over the years, the high-grade spirit armor that has been re-smelted, and the super-quality healing elixir. Unless it exceeds several times the strength and is led by a king, it is simply a fool's dream to attack the seven cities of Lingjiang and push the Tang clan within three months!"

"That's right. ”

Tang Sen nodded, then tightened his wife's hand, and said, "Don't worry. ”

Under the comfort of the father and son, Xu Shuhui finally relaxed, and Tang Xing, who had heard the power of the Tang clan for the first time, was even more proud and proud.

It's just a few months of travel, and the Longxi Tang clan is as stable as Mount Tai!

But no matter how slow the speed is, there must be a limit, and Kundao finally stopped at the edge of Yuanzhou at the end of July, because of the volume of floating land, if you want to really dock, you still have to have a merchant ship to transport everyone on the island to the port wharf.

And this is not a problem for Xu Changge, although his qualifications are limited compared to several swordsmen in the Tianfeng lineage, but the down-to-earth and heroic Xu Changge has a wide range of contacts, just sending a message, and a fleet-sized merchant ship sailed out from the border to welcome the Longxi lineage who returned to the city with the edict.

"Kangkang, Kangkang!"

Xu Changge, who was standing on the shore of Kundao, was so proud that he raised his head high, paddled his feet hard enough to reach Tang Luo's shoulders, and said proudly: "This is your second uncle's appeal, not only in Yingcheng in the future, but in the entire Yuanzhou, all the uneven things, you just have to find the second uncle!"

"The second uncle is mighty. ”

Tang Luo, who was smiling, tightened his spirit body slightly, so that Xu Changge would not shoot so hard.

"Hahahaha, generally mighty, generally mighty!"

Xu Changge, who suddenly felt that he was much taller, noticed Tang Luo's care, and said stiffly: "The eldest nephew doesn't have to embarrass himself, the second uncle can jump and shoot!"

After saying that, as if to prove his words, he really jumped up and patted it, but it didn't collapse high.

Looking at the second brother who had no shape, Xu Shuhui couldn't help but look away, she understood where Xu Laoying's extraordinarily out-of-the-box temperament came from.

In the midst of idle chatting and joking, the merchant ship docked on Kundao, and Xu Changge, who had recovered his normal color in a second, was about to give orders, but saw many old friends rushing down.

There are Xu Shijing of the Zhongying City Flowing Water Sword Sect, Xu Jinyang of the Mingxin Sword Sect, Xu Feihua of the Aoki Sword Sect, Xu Kegu of the Scarlet Sword Sect, and Xu Chunyang of the Chiyan Sword Sect......

This group of people is not only his old friends, but also the most important figures in the major sword sects in Zhongying City, I didn't expect that just because of a handwritten letter, they came to greet them in person, who else can there be in this kind of face except for the sword masters of each city!?

Xu Changge, who suddenly felt that his face was shining, was proud and moved, and opened his arms to greet the old friends who came laughing.

And the old friends who had not seen each other for a long time also jumped off the big ship in a hurry and fell to the ground with a smile on their faces.

What a sincere friendship!

Xu Changge, who was moved in his heart, was just about to say thank you, but was vigorously pulled aside by Xu Jinyang, and he stumbled and felt the team of people passing by.

Turning around angrily, I saw that the old friends had a clear goal, and they were all around Tang Luo, who was as strong as a hill, and his smile was so kind that it made people's teeth ache.

"I am Xu Shijing of the Flowing Water Sword Sect, and the insider is the third sister of your mother, you can call me cousin. ”

"And me, I am also your cousin, your mother's second sister is my inside-in-law, as soon as she hears that you are back, she will definitely ask me to invite your family to the Mingxin Sword Sect as a guest!"

"Jinyang, you're not right, my sister-in-law's family is tired, shouldn't you rest for a few days first? You are like wolves, don't scare your sister-in-law's family. The elders and young are orderly, and when they are resting, they will naturally be sent by the Scarlet Sword to take a look, but Fang'er misses this sister very much. ”

At this time, Tang Luo was stunned and realized that all the people who came off the boat were his relatives in Yuanzhou.

What a big cousin, a second cousin, a third cousin, and the expressions of the next generation, this kind of highly targeted enthusiasm is about to suffocate people.

And the Tang Sen family, who was left out in the cold, was also a little confused, especially Xu Shuhui, last time she came back to save her relatives, but she didn't see these cousins and brothers-in-law so affectionate.

But now that their eldest son is here, these people can't wait to play the best in the world, and it's terrifyingly real.

Seeing that Tang Luo was about to be submerged in the sea of people, Xu Changge, who was angry, finally reacted, gritted his teeth and pulled everyone away, and scolded and scolded: "Get out, get out of the way, you bastards, Lao Tzu's second uncle is here, and it won't be your turn to recognize your relatives!"

After tearing all the people apart, Xu Changge protected Tang Luo like a little chicken, and roared at his old friend who wanted to hug him with open arms just now: "No need for your boat, get out, get out!"

Decades of old friendship, where can a few bad words be sprayed away, and the people who were torn apart were not angry, they just squeezed their eyebrows at Tang Luo and waved their hands, without taking Xu Changge in their eyes.

Xu Changge, who was trembling with anger, jumped up and exploded their old bottom: "The eldest nephew listens to the second uncle, these are cousins, it doesn't matter if you recognize them or not." This group of people is very bad, they want to trick you into protecting these third-rate sword sects, you can't be fooled!"

When the old bottom was revealed, the faces of this group of swordsmen changed on the spot, and they pointed at Xu Changge and began to talk about the past, counting that he had no conscience, and there were some difficult words to understand.

What are you fighting for women, impostor sword fighting, stealing decent treasures to show off, entangled with everyone putting on a sack of the sword army, and the shore of Kundao is full of a happy atmosphere.

In the end, the Tang family still borrowed the boats of these cousins, of course, not because the second uncle was willing to accept these black histories, but because this group of sword masters rented all the boats in the entire dock, and if they didn't borrow these people's boats, the Tang family could only swim ashore.

It was only after a commotion on the shore that these people admitted their intentions.

They all came for Tang Luo, and the purpose was very clear, that is, they wanted to ask Tang Luo to protect the Sword Sect.

Even if the sword technique kills, the ranking of the sword faction has always been played, so kicking the hall and being kicked out of the hall are the main daily life of the sword faction.

Xihe's best sword wound medicine was born in such frequent sword fights, and as the earliest school of Heavenly Ten Thousand Dao Sword Intent, many old sword halls in Win City were facing some kind of dilemma at this time.

People like the new and hate the old, this is especially prominent in the way of the sword, as the earliest formation of the system of sword intent, like flowing water, Aoki, Chiyan such a sword school, can no longer dig deep research on the few sword intent, as a separate sword intent, they have done the ultimate outstanding.

And the peak means weakness, and the characteristics of the Ten Thousand Dao Sword Codes of the Heavens doomed the strongest swordsman to be unable to fight the world with just a few sword intents.

Therefore, the sword hall of some of the five elements has changed from the sword intent gym that everyone yearns for to the basic sword intent gym.

That is, all the disciples of the Xu family will start their cultivation from the old Five Elements Sword Sect, and they will leave after cultivation, and there is absolutely no nostalgia.

In this case, the Sword Sect will not be able to leave truly excellent seedlings, resulting in the Sword Sect's ranking deteriorating.

The more excellent disciples there are, the more they will lose in sword fighting, and the more they lose, the lower their rankings will be.

The root cause of this is because the senior brothers who have learned the sword intent have all joined other factions, and they can't summon these outstanding disciples back when fighting swords.

And the lower the ranking, the fewer disciples who can be selected for the sword test, which is even more fatal.

So in order to solve this problem, many veteran sword sects began to look for Dao protectors, and most of the Dao protectors were selected from the Xu family's relatives and disciples, who were responsible for dealing with various levels of kicking.

From the lowest mortal-level protector to the highest earth-level protector, it is equivalent to the master hired by the sword sect to worship.

The advantage of this is that it greatly eases the resentment of some ancient sword sects.

You can't always kick the hall every time someone kicks the hall, and you have to roll up your sleeves by the sword venerable of the sword sect.

"I see. ”

Through Xu Changge's narration, Tang Luo, who understood the demands of this group of cousins, was embarrassed: "But I can't accept it, there are still hundreds of disciples here to be trained, where can I find time to deal with this kind of intensity of kicking!"

"Big nephew is so smart, don't be dazzled by the price offered by these bastards, and don't listen to what they say that with your current prestige, you can suppress the challenger's bullshit. ”

Xu Changge praised Tang Luo and explained: "What reputation is bullshit in the eyes of that group of sword maniacs, if you want to challenge Longxi Tianjiao, try your own kendo boy can win from the city to Dongcheng Mountain, you are now cultivating high, and the people who want to touch you are even more sea, if you don't join, it's okay, you really become the protector of a certain faction, then you don't have to do anything, you just need to prepare to deal with the challenger every day!"

“......”

Tang Luo, who refused at first, just based on the actual situation, was a little dumbfounded after listening to the explanation: "Yuanzhou's swordsman, is it so crazy?"

"It's only going to get crazier than that!"

Xu Changge shook his head fearfully and said: "And in the cognition of some sword maniacs, they think that the most glorious thing is to be able to die in battle after exhaustion, and even more desperately, just to leave a "glorious" mark on the enemy!

"After a sword, if you don't win, you will die, but the soul sword is fierce, even if the soul is tough and can resist, you will be seriously injured! I believe that the second uncle, with your current reputation, is the opponent that these people dream of!"

“..... Yuanzhou's kendo atmosphere is a little fierce. ”

Tang Luo couldn't believe it: "Didn't the protector of the Sword Sect have to be boiled to death by this kind of challenge?"

"No, generally those sword maniacs only draw their swords for worthy opponents, and most of the time they are in retreat and penance. ”

Xu Changge thought that Tang Luo was frightened by the fierce folk customs of Yuanzhou, and hurriedly explained: "And most of the challenges between the sword sects and the sword hall are just for the sake of competition, regardless of life and death. ”
